WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Sept. 11.-Oue of the
greatest cave-ins that has yet occurred in
the coal regions startled the residents of

side of the town of Plymouth the earth
settled for a distance of half a
mile. affecting about thirty acres
Of territory belonging to the Della
ware & Hudson Railroad Company.
The entire territory was undermined and
was still being worked out. The concus-
sion was thought by many to be caused by
an earthquake, and people in this city, for
miles distant, experienced q rocking
sensation. At the scene of the cave
in this afternoon the earth was
broken and extensive crevices were
running in every direction. many
OF them extending to q great depth. Sew
eral mules which were In the mine at the
time were killed. and nearly all the miners
lost their working tools. The damage will
be immense. About l500 men and boys are

Fifty Lives Lost.

LAUREL, Del, Sept. .-Advices from the
Delaware Breakwater state that it was the
most furious storm known to the Oldest in
habitants. AT least two score vessels are
now beached. Both wooden piers were
washed away. The beach from Rehoboth
to Lewes is strewn with wrecks. 1t is
thought at least fifty lives were lost.
Men were seen clinging to the rigging
of the fast-sinking vessels frantically yell
ing for help. The life-saving crew were
powerless to render assistance owing to the
fury of the gale. 1t was q terrible sight to
witness, but no human power could save
them. Their bodies were washed ashore
this morning. and were buried in the sand
along the water.
The loss to vessel property at Breakwater
will reach. 1T is thought. $5,000.0O0. The
storm has continued here with unabated
fury, but beyond demolishing few out
buildings and fences and the uprooting of
some trees there has been no appreciable
damage in this immediate vicinity. Further
up the country peach orchards have been
ruined, some having scarcely a tree left
standing

EXPERIENCES AT SEA.

How Some Of the Big Steamers Weathered
the storm-Steering by Soundings.
New YORK. Sept. 1.-THE new Morgan
line steamer Ell Mar completed her first
round trip to-day from New Orleans. The
officers gave out this evening q full story
of how the vessel weathered the big blow.
The storm struck her on Monday night,
about mile north of Cape Hatteras. From
that time until she almost reached Sandy
Hook, she steamed in the teeth of most ter
rife storm. Heavy waves lashed the sides of
the steamer and broke clear over her deck.
At one time the waves rose clear to the
tops of her smokestacks, which stand forty
five feet out of the water. The smokestacks
looked like gigantic frosted cakes as she
came into the harbor. They were covered
with salt.
Capt. X. A. Horton and first officer b. A.
Benson stated that the storm was the most
terrible one they had witnessed during the
past fourteen years. At times they could

SALISBURY. Md, Sept. 1L-Reports of a
startling character are coming in of the
storm at Ocean City, Nd, though the tele-
graph Office there is unoccupied. The large
columns supporting the porches of the
hotels and cottages are washed away, the
doors and windows are broken down and the
furniture is floating about the beach. The
seas last night were breaking into the sec
ond story of the Atlantic Hotel and Con-
gress Hall, and huge waves were running
through the hotel six feet deep. The furni-
ture is floating in the rooms. The dane
Ing pavilion at the Atlantic Hotel
is demolished. and roofs Of several
of the cottages and the porches ara blown
away. There is not the vestige of a bath
house on the beach. The life-saying sta
tion was damaged, and the crew were pre-
pairing to desert it last night. A special
train was sent over last nj ght to rescue the
dwellers on the beach. The work was ac-
complished by large number of stout men
joining hands and wading through water
waist-deep. They brought the ladies to
the cars, one by one, seated on their Joined
hands Mr.. Stokes. one of the rescuing
a.
coming wave threw him back towards the
beach and he was saved. The last occu-
pants OF the beach, who left late last night,
expected that all the cottages and PORTIONS
of the hotels would be washed away. The
damage amounts to thousands of dollars.
Atlantic City and Sea Isle City.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. I.-Superintenden
Dayton. of the West Jersey and the Cam

at his Office. in Camden, by an Associated
Press representative, and he was able to
give a very favorable report as to the con-
dition of affairs at Atlantic City. When
the tide receded this afternoon gangs of
men made their way from Pleasantville
almost into Atlantic City over the Camden
81 Atlantic railroad. which is the older and
more solidly built line. Telegraphic COM
munication was at the same time estab-
lished to within short distance of the
water-bound city, and the reports received
showed that place to be in much better
shape than had been anticipated. Wild
rumors had gained circulation here to the
effect that o confagration was raging there
Mr.. Dayton is informed that half a dozen
shanties on the beach near Georgia
avenue. situated at the extreme southern
end of the island. were destroyed by fire
late last night or early this morning. The
report of the demolition of the board walk
is confirmed. and the booths, pavilions and
places of amusement located thereon were
likewise destroyed. No other serious dam
age to property is reported, and it is statesi
that there was no loss OF life. A dispatch

says: Even the Shelbourne Hotel was not
damaged to any great extent" As the Shell
bourne Is one OF the most exposed houses ct
Atlantic City, this serves to indicate that
the damage cannot be very great.
superintendent Dayton says that he will
be able to run trains over the Camden &
Atlantic road to Atlantic City to-
morrow morning. unless the COM
ing high tide, which is due after
this contingency is rather remote. as the
wind is reported to have shifted to the
northwest. which will have the effect of
keeping the water down.. On the West
Jersey road the situation is more serious,
and it will be at least three days before the
trains can be run over it between Pleasant
vile and Atlantic City. The Reading rail-
road is also said to be In bad shape. An at
tempt was made this afternoon to run a
steamer from Somers' Point to Atlantic
City, but owing to the force of wind and
waves, the attempt had to be abandoned.

Mr. Chester to be in danger of destruction

The Townsend inlet bridge, which is q
very important structure, and one that it
will be hard to replace. is reported to have
been washed away. No accurate estimate
of the damage to the railroad tracks can be
made by the officials, owing to the meagre
telegraphic facilities available, but it is
known that many miles have been carried
away. and that weeks will be required to
place the lines where they were before the
storm.

SEABRIGHT, N. j., Sept. 11.-Last night
was night of terror here. The cottagers
were badly frightened by the terrible surf
and the furious wind. The surf thundered
away on the east side, and on the west the
water in the Shrewsbury river overfowed
into the streets, flooding the houses and
stores. The sea cut a new inlet into the
Shrewsbury river north of Seabright, near
where there was an inlet one hundred years
ago. tearing away the Sandy Hook tracks
of the Central railroad, and again making
Sandy Hook an island. Many cottages
were undermined by the surf. They top
pied into the sea, and were torn to pieces.
The sea ran over into the river below the
south end of the Octagon House, and top
pied over cottage. The brick walls of the

beach is strewn with debris of all kinds.

LONG BRANCH. n. j. Sept. 11.-This is the
most severe and damaging storm which has
visited this section of the New Jersey sea-
coast in the last fifty years. Here the surf
ran SO high that it washed the outer end of
the great ocean pier and tossed it's foam
and spray two hundred feet inland. The
bluff has again been badly damaged and it
will cost fully $4,000 to repair it. The
worst cut in the bluff is opposite the site of
the old East End Hotel. north of the Hotel
Brighton. Here the surf has eaten half
through Ocean avenue and every assault
of the angry waters makes the gap bigger.
Down in front of the United States
Hotel there is a. cut that ex-
tends into the roadway. There is
third one at North Bath avenue.
All along the ocean front the surf has un-
dermined the bluff, and tonight big
chunks of dirt are falling down and being
swallowed up by the boiling waters. The

A Dangerous Barge.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. 11.-A barge
loaded with dynamite or powder drifted
from its fastenings at Ellis island, this
afternoon, and was within quar-
ter of mile of Black Tom island
when darkness set in. As it has not
shifted for three hours, it is believed to
have struck safe anchorage. If it strikes
the rocks at Black Toms it is feared there
will be a terrible explosion and that great
damage will be done.
