Grave Fears of u Probable
Caye-in of Coal Mines.
Queen LiIliuokalani not Expected to
Live but a few Days.
Another Translation of the Holy Ri.
bic among the Probabilities.

CARBoNDALE, Pa, Oct. 7.--Nearly
200 acres of ground in the northwest
corner of this city, through which the
Coal Brook Colliery of the Delaware &
Hudson Company is tunneled, are in a
state of turbulence and there is danger
Of one Of the most extensive cave-ins
in the history ofthe coal regions. The
200 mine workers have been ordered
out and the company is waiting re-
suits. The ground is heaying like an
earthquake. From the inside the
noise of the working, which at first
was indistinct and did not presge any
very serious trouble, has become loud
and continuous.
Miners who have heard it say it can
be likened to nothing but the rumbling
of thunder in the distance, with oc-
casional sharp reports caused by the
cracking Of the earth and rocks that
resemble the volleys thatfoll flashes
OF lightning. The confined air of the
mines holds the sounds, while they
reverberate and re-echo, 50 the noise
is continuous. The last serious squeeze
in this city occurred about eighteen
years ago at No. shaft, when one
man was caught and crushed and
several others had narrow escapes.
About forty years ago a similar ac-
cident occurred at the old No. l shaft,
when many deaths resulted, and some
of the bodies were never recovered.

TIME FOR HUSTLING.
Harrison viii Make No Political APP
pOintments This Month.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The under
standing that the President has de-
termined to make no political appoint
ments this month is apparently re-
allied by the politicians and the
Southern men are taking advantage of
it 10y pushing the appointment of the
member of the Interstate Commerce
Board from their section. Every
day finds a new candidate in the
field, the latest name mentioned
is that OF Maj A. b. Andrews, First
Vice President of The Richmond &
Danville system Of railroads. The
friends Of Maj, Andrews say he has no
superior as a thorough railroad man.
He is popular, and can, they say,
bring to his support any number of
Democratic Senators and Congress
men. The Major resides at Raleigh,
N. c. 1t is understood that his name
will be formally presented to the
President tomorrow.

EXCITED DEPOSITORS,
Crowd the Streets of Kingston and
DenOunce the Bank Robbers,

KINGSTON, N, Y, Oct. 7.-As was ex-
pected the city is rapidly filling up
with people from all over the county,
who are depositors in the three city
saving banks Business is at q stand
still, and crowds stand discussing the
wrecking of the Ulster City Savings
institution. The Kingston Savings
Bank and Rondout Savings Bank have
each posted notices on their banking
house doors notifying the depositors
that the sixty days notice required by
law must be given, Large crowds of
depositors with bank books in hand
stand in front of these institutions.
The robbery and wreck of the bank
continues to be the all-absorbing topic
in the city and county. While to a
certain extent the depositors and their
friends have become somewhat calmer,
the depositors in the country towns
who have but just heard of the enor-
nous thefts alleged against Ostrander
and Trumpbour, are keeping up the ex-
element by their denunciations Of the
thieves.
Depositors continued to arrive in
the city in large numbers this morn
ing and by noon that block Of
Wall street wherein the Ulster
County Savings Institution, the
Kingston Savings Bank and the
courthouse and Jail are situated was
filled with people. Several policemen
were stationed in front of the Kingston
Savings Bank to keep order,
OF course, all the depositors could
do was to give the required sixty days
notice. There was a report that a
large number of men who held a meet
ing on Sunday was coming from Greed
Locks and for this reason the Four
tenth separate company was notified
to be in readiness.

President Woodruff, George Q. Can
non, Apostles F. NJ. Lehman, Moses
Thatcher, M. W. Merrill, Herbert j.
Grant. Apostle Merrill declared that
he had been raised from the dead by
the efforts of the holy priesthood who
were guided by the divine mercy cf
God, and stated that although every
bone in President Woodrutf's body hal
b en- broken, and he had himself been
drowned, he had been restored to life
by divine command. He also criticised
the saints severely ON account OF their
embarking in business enterprises with
out first consulting those in authority.
Apostle Grant devoted his sermon to
justifying his business course. He is
an insurance manager, and certain
saints are of the opinion that the gos-
pei and insurance do not go well to-
gether. He intends, however, to re
main in Salt Lake until ordered out
by the authorizes to spread the gospel

SENSATION IN MILAN.
A Young Lady Rises in Church TO
Defend Her Reputation,

MILAN, Tenn, Oct. IA ripple of
excitement was occasioncd in the
Baptist church here Sunday when
Miss India Thomas, former organist,
requested to make statement to the
church in defense of her character.
The request was granted by the
church, and Miss Thomas rose and ina
clear voice told the congregation that
she was formerly, with her fathers
family, resident Of Conyersville, Ind
that five years ago she came to Milan,
and the second Sunday after her
arrival joined the Baptist Sunday
School and was installed as teacher
OF a class, was elected leader of
the choir and was an active worker in
the church that she had tried to lead
the life of pure christian woman, and
that the people knew her walk while
among them, that three or four So
called christians, had tried to blacken
her fair name and tear down her rep
utation; that they had succeeded in
throwing her brother out of employ.
ment by these tales, etc. The reading
of the paper was received with aston
ishment by the audience, who were
unaware of n scandal existing in the
church. The church took up the
question and the debate waxed warm,
being discussed pro and con- Resolu.
tons were passed, recommending Miss
Thomas and condemning her perse-
cutors. A committee was appointed
to investigate the scandal. The affair
is highly sensational, and the par
ticulars will not admit of publication.
A big damage suit will probably be the
outcome.

Forty Square Miles Burned Over In
California with Heavy Loss.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 6.-Terrible for
est fires have been raging for over a

than forty square miles of country

GLIDING outbuildings, were all burned.
At Burner Hill there is nothing left
Of the village but hotel, school house
and two or three scattered buildings
on the outskirts of the town. All the
grass in the hills in that section of the
country has been destroyed and the
loss Of stock will be large in conse-
quence. Many farmers and ranchers

THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1.-The
steamer Belgic brings most important
news from the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The information is authentic, being
prepared by one ofthe leading citizens
OF Honolulu.
Queen Liliuokalani is at the point Of
death. Her physician has pronounced
her trouble organic disease of the
heart, and her death may happen at
any moment. The Queen has been
advised of the worst.
The death OF the Queen will bring
about the most serious of polit-
ical complications, and already
wire pullers are at work to
secure control of the islands in
the interest Of England. Honolulu
newspapers dare not print one word Of
what is Transporting, but the people are
in a great fever of excitement.
Americans in Honolulu will make
desperate attempt 10 prevent the
islands from falling into British control
The father of the heir to the throne,whc
is an Engiishman, will work to his
utmost in the interests Of the British
Americans will take advantage Of any
lapse Of time to prevent Princess
KaIulani from taking the throne. The
natives are in sympathy with Ameri
cans and want either republic OF
annexation with the United States.

SLY OLD RUSSIA.
Why She Will Not Aid in the Coercion
Of China.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Oct 5.--The re-
fusal of the Russian government to
join in the European demonstration
against China is alleged to be due to
the fear that such an act on her part
would involve Russia in land war
with China after the question had been
settled for other powers concerned,
thus giving England chance 10 adj
vance her interest in Central Asia at
the expense Of Russa's interests. 1t
is also said that Russia has no interest
to risk an imbrogli with China for the
sake OF the Catholic and Protestant
churches in the latter country.
