RUINED BY A NINE CAvE-IN.
A Church and Several Dwellings Almost
Destroyed.

The little town Of Plains, four miles from
Wilkesbarre, Pa. was startled yesterday after
noon by cavern of the surface over the
mines, which, while not affecting a large area,
wrought great destruction. The cavern was
caused by the falling of the roof in the work.
ings Of the Mill creek colliery of the Delaware
and Hudson canal company 400 feet below.
About 500 square feet of the surface was af-
fected, and in this stood the large and
handsome Roman Catholic church Of the Sa-
cred Heart, the parsonage attached to the
church and several small houses
The shock occurred about s o'clock. In the
church number of men weN at work putting
in gas pipes. They were thrown to the floor
and almost covered with falling plaster and
debris torn from the walls and ceiling. The
front part of the church went down several
feet, and the foundation walls were torn from
the superstructure and split and rent apart in
many places. Fortunately the church is a
wooden structure, or it would have totally col
lapsed. The steeple is thrown out of plumb
and, as bell eighing over 400 pounds hangs
in it. it is greatly feared it will fall The in
terror is badly damaged The floors are split
and the walls cracked and the plaster torn off.
large and costly organ had Just been put in,
which, it is feared, is ruined
The parochial residence is even in a worse
plight. The front portion has dropped five or
SIX feet, and the rear portion is tilted up. The
floors and walls are all split and the rear ex-
tension torn from the main building. Two
small frame houses standing close by, owned
by James keyer, are in the same condition.
The road i'll front of the church has dropped
nine or ten feet, and several houses on the
other side are badly shaken and the inmates
have all moved out. Rev. Father Phillips is
the pastor of the church.

U. s. Cavalry at Oklahoma Civ.

The people of Oklahoma City, 1t, expert
enced feeling of relief when they awoke yes
terday morning and saw encamped on the side
of the Oklahoma hills two troops of the United
States cavalry. The troops had been sent from
Fort Reno by command of Gen. Merritt, COM
mauding the department of the Missouri Even
with the presence of the troops it is impossible
for the people to disguise their feeling of inse-
curity. Almost every house is an arsenal and
every male citizen carries a revolver. The cleo
ton of next Monday is anticipated with appre-
hension, although the troops will doubtless
prevent any serious rioting. The Kickapoos,
the political opponents of the Semlnoles, held
a meeting last night to discuss their griev-
aDceS.

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
A Remarkable Case of Catalepsy Puz-
cling Omaha Doctors.

A remarkable case of catalepsy or suspended
animation has just been reported, which has
been puzzling the medical fraternity of Omaha.
Miss Mamie Mark came home from school
Thursday Of last week complaining Of fatigue
and general hstlessness. On Friday she took
to her bed, sunk into inconsistencies and
when the physician arrived the father was
about to start out TO an undertaker's ofRce,
thinking that the child was dead The doctor
found that respiration had ceased and that the
child was apparently dead. The temperature
at this time had sunk to tWo and half degrees
below normal, but by 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing the temperature had returned TO normal
and the body was warm. The French test of
holding two closed fingers before the light
showed that circulation had not ceased. A
small vein in the arm was opened and SLOWLY
oozed blood, proving further that the blood
was still In circulation. The arms from the
elbows down were cold, but the lips contained
blood and the hesh recovered itself when
pressed in by the finger. The action of the
heart is completely suspended There il little
change in her condition yet

Three Bishops COnsecrated at Once.

At St. Paul yesterday three Catholic bishops
were eonsecrated at one service. But once be-
fore in the history Of the church in this coun-
try has the consecrating of three bishops been
simultaneously decreed, and it is probably the
first time where all three have been taken
from one diocese. The ceremony was con-
Quoted by Archbishop Ireland, assisted by the
Most Rev. Thomas L. Grace. The priests on
whom the inter was conferred were the Rev
John Sha1ley Of st. Paul, Rev. James McGol-
rick Of Minneapolis and the Rev. Joseph B.
Cotter OF Winona. The papal commissions or
briefs, which were read by the resident bishops
notary in full robes. first in Latin and then in
English, appointed Bishop Stanley to the see
of North Dakota, while Bishop McGolrck goes
to the diocese of Duluth and Bishop Cotter will
have charge Of the diocese of Winona
There were sixteen bishops in the procession,
In the ranks of which figured also nearly 500
priests. 1t was superb and impressive specta-

A large number of private families will stay

REQUESTED TO RESIGN,
Suspicion of Speculatin z Loses a New
York Central Man His Place.

1t is a law OF the Vande rbilt railroad system
that employees of whatever rank must not en-
gage In speculation. Every report that a sub
ordinate Is specializing is made the subject of
rigorous investigation. There are many OF
these investigations in year. One of them
has inst come to an end, and yesterday the
New York produce exchange was greatly
stirred by the announcement that Chas. A.
Pool. associated with ii. Mex. Twombly in the
management of the Centrars. grain business
had been requested to send his resignation to
the directors. Mr.. POOLS salary was so, 900
year. He lives in good style at tho Ariston, on
upper Broadway. He has complied with the
demand OF the directors and viii retire from
the company's service on January L. Mr.. T. l.
Douglas, agent for the W estern transit COM
pany, has been named his successor The
deposed officer IL one OF the hes. known MEM
beers of the produce exchange. The duties of
his place IN the Central required him to spend
much of his time among the grain men of the
exchange. 1t could not be learned that Mr.
Pool had been engaged in any recent transac-
tons in the wheat pit. 1t was automatically
announced though that he was severely in
jured in the famous whe at deal engineered by
Mr.. Jas. X. Keene half a dozen years ago and
that there are still heavy amounts due from
him as a result OF his tr ansactions at that time.

HILL BOLD PUSH FOR w.
Gov Hill is implacable in his policy of
roofing out all the Cleveland men in the state
machine. His boldness of attack rather takes
ones breath away. He is conducting one of the
most open and audacious campaigns ever seen in
American politics. If boldness wins David will
get there but audacia is not always a winning
motto in spite of the proverb. While Hill is
tightening his grip on the machine Cleveland's
popularity is rapidly growing, and it is hard to
see how he can be sidetracked, so far as New
York is concerned, for the democratic nomina-
ton of '92. The almost universal expression is
that the most Hill can do is to send the nomi-
nation west
WALTER DAMRoscH's LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
The interesting announcement is made that
the opera on Wednesday night was conducted
by Herr Seidl, as Mr.. Damrosch was absent on
leave in Washington. No doubt Mr.. Damrosch
is having pleasant break in his professional
life at the new and attractive home of the
Blaines on Lafayette square. He is a popular
fellow in New York and has tact and saeacity
to aid his youth and distinction Of appearance
in making him social as well as a professional
force. He is to have charge Of the great new
hall Carnegie is building. and indeed has been
taken to thatmillionare's heart with enthusiasm.
He crossed the ocean on the same steamer with
the Carnegies on their wedding journey, and
their intimacy has continued ever since Mr.
Damrosch visited them in Scotland and shared
their coaching trip, and it was through MIR.
Carnegie that he was presented at the Blaine
house.
If German opera has done nothing else for
New York 1t has given two young men their
chance-Walter Damrosch and Z. c. Stanton.
Stanton was New York Office clerk, and. though
he is still a young fellow, 30 distinguished has

has filled, eliminating in the management of

on mission to raise funds for a National Con-
iederate Soldiers Home in Texas, received yes
terday the first contribution from this State
from Alvin c. Cooper, editor of the Ovid Inde-

said the old Confederate Msjor sis that the first
contribution from the Empire State comes from
a Union soldier without solicitation, for I have
not yet asked for cent from anyone. The few
days have been in New York have confined
myself to making the acquaintance of Union
veterans, to visiting Grand Army posts and ex-
planning to them what our Home is and what it
needs. had no idea of asking help for our in
stitution unless the soldier element of the North
would indorse its object l have already seen
many old veterans, visited q number of posts
and have been accorded most respectful atten-
ton as made my statement to them. With one
exception, have not found man that did not
favor Confederate Home, and wish me god
speed in my present work. I believe that the
Grand Army of the Republic will even indorse
the scheme at the next State Eneampment and
will carry it before the next National Encamp,

Lannon and Godfrey Fight. 2 Fifteen
Round Draw.

BosToN, February 4th.-George Lannon, Of
South Boston, and George Godfrey, the we'll
known colored heavyweight pHgilist of this
city, fought fitteen-rounds battle with four
ounce gloves tonight for purse o. $1,000. John
Sullivan acted referee. There was much
bad temper shown by b.th men, and much
elinehing was done.
In the fourth round Lannon apparently had
his opponent whipped, but he failed TO follow
his advantage. For the last five rounds Godfrey
showed to better advantage, but 10th were weak
and their blows did very little execution.
At the. end of the fifteenth round, Lsnnon
expressed desire to continue, but as the uu-
derstandipg arrived at previous to the fight was
that in case neither contestant was knocked out
at the end OF the fifteenth round, the match
should be declared draw, tho referee so de-
clared it.
