FRIGHTENED BY Il MINE CAHE-IM

Tho Village OF Lark svIlie, Near Wilkes
barre. in Danger by u Night Crash.
WILKEsBARRE. July IA disastrous cave-in
occurred this morning at o'clock at the old
slope OF the Kingston Coal Company near
Larksville. i've miles from this city. and the
Inhabitants OF that village which is directly
over the mine. were IN great fear Of their lives
and their property.
The cave was caused by the swapping of the
old timbers in the slope directly under the fan
house. The surface sank SO suddenly that the
upward rush Of air lifted the roof of the fan
house.
For hundreds OF feet in all directions tho
surface is covered with large seams and
cracks. some OF them foot wide and extend
ing down into the workings. A number Of
houses in the vicinity are damaged.
:, A dozen men were as work In the mines at
the time, hut they escaped through second
opening. This company has been particularly
unfortunate. On May 5 their two large break
ers were destroyed by fire.
The COMPANY began at once to rebuild but
Mine INSPECTOR G.. M. Williams secured an in
junction against The company on tho ground
that the new breaker would be within 200 feet
OF the mouth Of the shaft. which is contrary to
tho mine.ventilatingl law.
Judge Rice In an elaborate opinion on Sat-
urday sustained the Injunction. The COM
peny owns no land on which they can build
outside OF the 200-feet limit. and they will be
compelled to purch ase improved property at
great expense or abandon the colliery.

NO ROOM FOR Mr.. MCLATE
The Union League Club Committee Rejects
the Police Commissioner.


The Union League Club decided last fall not
TO admit any more members who could not
faithfully and conscicn ,iously proclaim Tint
they had voted for the last Republican candi-
date for the Presidency.
This step was taken in formal resolutions.
and the Committee OF Admissions, It was
learned yesterday, havo gone still furthor in
this policy.
Police Commissioner John McClave's name
has been on the lis on applicants for ad
mission for the last four years. When he
handed in his application he was proposed
and seconded by some OF tho best-known
Republicans in New York. Among them were
bankers OF eminence. and many OF the old
stand-bys Of the club declared that Commits
sioner McClave would be an acquisition.
Mr.. McClave succeeded Joel W. Mason as
Police Commissioner. He said he did not
want the place ut the time. but he did not re-
fuse to accept 1t when It was flatly offered TO
him. All his life hs had been a Republican.
He held the place all through Mayor Grants
first term. and after the reelection OF the Mayor
last fall he was reappointed.
AS already said. his name had been on the
list OF applicants for membership to the Union
League Club for four years. His reappoint-
ment by tho Tammany Mayor directed the
batteries OF some OF the Union League Club
members against him. One Of these members
was Mr.. Charles Watrous.
The argument used against the Commits
sioner was that he had been too closely afilli-
ated. as municipal official. with the Demo-
Gratis. His reappointment by the Mayor
clinched this argument in the minds OF his
opponents In tho club and there were also in
timations that he was not in line last fall for
the combination county ticket.
The Committee on Admissions took the mat.
ter up 1t became known yesterday that by
the largest adverse vote ever known IN
that committee. Commissioner McClave's
name was rejected three weeks ago at the
last meeting OF the committee before the mid
summer adjournment Tho vote in the COM
mittee was l3 against Mr.. McCave to in his
favor.
