A Block of Houses Sink Into n COliery.

NlbhESbtNtE IA, req. ..
The Borough of Hazleton, in the lower
end of this county, a town of 5000 inhabi-
tants, was this afternoon thrown into a
fearful state of excitement by the caving
in of an entire square in the central part
of the borough. The drop was about three
feet, caused by the giving way of the tim
bers in Sugar Loaf Colliery underneath.
Three or four houses, including a hotel,
were entirely wrecked, while numbers
of others were more or less injured. The
residence of Master Mechanic Clark, of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad shop, was utterly
demolished. Fortunately no lives were
sacrificed or anybody injured. 1t is report
ed here tonight that grave apprehension
exists in Hazleton concerning a further set
Ting of the surface, n much anxiety ex.
lists. This is the first town known to have
suffered from q cavern directly in its busi-
ness center, and it naturally gives rise to
much curiosity among residents OF other
undermined towns to know the exact causes
that operated in bringing about the disas-
ter of to-day.

known as a tramp. About a month

the first thing her guardian knew she
had eloped and married him, re-
turned and announced that they would

generous contributions of $50 and s2j checks.

conducting himself with the highest pro-

of tho paper called Roma, which generally
fills its pages with diatribes against the best

tempted a disturbance and was soon put

and delegates OF the twenty-five Italian So
