The Disastrous Effects Of a Cavesin Neal
Wilkesbarre,

The people living in the vicinity Of Poke
Hollow, a small mining village about four
ifiles from Wilkesbarre, were startled from
their sleep Monday night by loud rettort
resembling the noise of an earthquake and
immediately followed by the shaking OF
their hotises from the foundations. It was
at once known to miners that cave.in of
the earth's surface had occurred. The alarm
was at once given, lanterns were procured
and the work ofihtestigation OF begun. Large
assures in the earth running hundreds of
yards were discovered. The surface for
about four acres had suEk fully seyen inches
and III many places ten inches.
In space covering about one acre " here
many frame dwelling hotses are situated,
the fall was the greatest. The foundations
Of all the houses, about twenty ih humber,
completely knocked FROM under them, 30
that they Immediately began to topple
oyer. kirkland McDougall, Who occupied
one Of the dwellings with his family, was
awakened by his thfee children rolling out
of bed, the giving way of the foundation
causing the house to 60 oyer on its side.
The family were removed as soon as posi-.
BILE to place of safety. McDougall himself
sustained setious injuries While attempting
to prop up the gable end of his house. The
house is o complete wreck. The others ore
in critical condition. All tho families
haye moved out and at present find quar-
ters in th6if heIghbors' houses that are not
afIecte by the cave.in.
The approach of daylight Tuesday
morning drew large crowd of spectators
to the scene and much excitement prevail
ed. The bottoms OF all the wells had ial.
len out during the night and the water
flushed into the mine below. It vas cun-
sldered by experts that further drop OF the
earth might be expected at any moment,
and minated of the wrecked houses were
varied not TO return to their places of
abode Under any circumstances. The ground
on which the cave in occurred is owned by
the Delaware. Lackawanra and Western
Coal Company. 1t is impossible to estimate
the damage at this writings but it will be
heavy.
