A Block Of Vermont Soil That Got Move
on Itself.
BARRE, VT, Feb. 2s.vA huge land
slide occurred here this morning on the
land occupied by the Goddard seminary.
The rush and roar of thousands of tons
of stones, trees and earth as it swept
down upon the apparently doomed SEM
mary and the dwellings clustered about
it was Simply appalling. Many dwelling
houses we're badly damaged. The resi-
dencc OF William Mcdonald was moved
bodily distance of eleven feet from its
foundation as easily as ship glides
from the ways at launching. The cellar
was instantly filled with the rushing
debris. The tenement house of Martin
Riley also suffered severely, the
lower story being almost entirely
wrecked. 1t is impossible to estimate
the wreck ct present. but it will be very
heavy. Fortunately, no lives were lost,
as the landslide occurred at such an
early hour that the inhabitants were
safety ensconced in their beds. The
scene is thronged with sight-seers to-day
from miles around. Many who live at q
distance OF tea miles, and even more,
state that they heard noise as of dis
tant thunder. and distinctly felt the
trembling Of the earth and heard the
rattling OF dishes on the closet shelves.
Until the report reached them of the
facts in the case they felt sure that an
earthquake had visited them. Steps have
already been taken to repair the damage

HAzLEToN, Pa, Feb. 24.-After being
eighteen days entombed in the darkness
of the Inflated slope No. /, at Evansville,
five of the victims Of the terrible disas-
ter were found alive Monday afternoon,
They were all Hungarians. How they
survived is miracle. Nothing like it
has been known or heard OF in the Penn
sylvania coal fields. Up to yesterday
thirteen bodies had been found and the
rescuers worked harder than ever to
learn the fate of the remaining five.
Late last night, while two mon
were searching in a breast of the
east gangway, they came across
the five Hungarians huddled closely
together and almost dead. They
are so weak that with one exc.p-
tion they could not be moved. John
Tomakusly, who was stronger than the
others, was taken up to the engine house.
Doctors were at once summoned aud Il
large stock of blankets taken down to
the other four men. Careful nursing
will be given them and every effort pu,
forth to save their lives. The searchcrs
say that their attention was attracted

they finally came upon the men. John

The Men Will Recover.
HAzLEToN, Pa. Feb. 24.-The sunr
Hungarians rescued from the cavcd mine
were brought to the surface this morn

of limcjuice and milk and allowed rest.
They will probably recover from the e1-
feet CT their confinement. Its impossible
to get q statement from any of the men
as their weakened condition prevents it,.
All the men are so weak that a simple
of the head is impossible. How
they lived for more than nineteen days
is question. The dinner in their pals
would have been sufficient to sustain
life for eight days, perhaps, if dealt out
sparingly. What they lived ON for the
of the time is variously con.
jcctured.
