 On Saturday farm hand was engaged harvesting the grain crop on the farm of T. J. Lee when the earth suddenly gave way and three of the four horses attached to the reaper upon which he was seated sank into the chasm.
 Tho reaper and one of the wheel horses remained on the brink of the cave-in, while the other animals were firmly held by tho earth which closed in upon them, Tho coal which underlaid these lands was removed years ago, and these cave-ins occur as the wood props which supported tho roof rock give way.
 The opening made in the surface by this cave Is 25 feet long by 12 feet in width, and the greatest depth will probably reach Is feet.
 There Is much alarm felt among the y,l- lage residents over the possibility of their homes being swallowed up or at least wrecked by these sudden caves There Is also danger to the tracks of tho Delaware & Hudson Company's railroad, which runs directly over the seat of this trouble, The surface disturbances usually occur at night. a cave rarely taking place during the day. time.

The cave-ln had not disturbed hi. slumbers, and he knew nothing of what had occurred until he opened the celia, door in the morning.
