HAZLETON's DANGER.
Nearly One Square Mile of the New City
Affected by Undermining.

On Christmas Day the residents of
Hazleton were reminded slightly by the
settling of the ground that their city is
built upon a poor foundation, and since
that time the danger has been consider
ably increased. From Sunday evening
up to the present the earth has been
sinking rapidly, cracks varying in width
from one to six inches have appeared in
several of the streets, doors and windows
of houses are twisted out of shape and
many foundations fell away from the
structures they supported. The greatest
anxiety prevails throughout the town,
and the operators, Pardee 4 Co., are un-
able to state what the results may be.
The disturbed district extends from
half square east of Pine Street to the
west side of Wyoming, and southwark
from Broad nearly six squares. The
Speaker estimates that nearly one square
mile in the heart Of the town is in dan
ger. The greatest fear is felt along Pine,
Wyoming and Chapel Streets, and en-
braces about $50 buildings. Every fam
lily that could possibly do so has removed
to another section of the city, as many
of the residences are unsafe and danger
GUS to be occupied until the squeeze sub
sides.
In tne cellars OF many OF the houses
rumblings underneath can be distinctly
heard, usually accompanied by short and
severe shocks, caused by the falling of
coal and rock in the mines. The ma
jority of the buildings are owned by poor
men who have toiled years to build
homes for themselves, and much sym
pathy is heard everywhere for those
who had to leave without moments
warning. st. GabriePs Convent and
adjoining buildings are considered in
great danger, and the parochial schools
have been closed. The Sisters of Mercy
stationed there are now at the Freeland
Convent 1t was stated yesterday that
the company officials were very much
afraid of the convent building, as there
is but l2O feet of rock and clay under
meath it to the worked-out vein, which
at that point was 46 feet high.
Sight-seers and visitors were numerous
in that portion of the town since the
trouble was reported, and hundreds are
always present waiting for some new
sensation. Pardee & Co. has force of
men plastering up cracks in the walls
and foundations and repairing doors and
windows that are twisted out of shape.
1t is said the company will repair all the
property damaged.

SPLENDID GIFT.
Rev. II. p. McNally Presented With a
Beautiful Chalice.

An event that will be long remember
ed by Rev. F. P. McNally took place at
the Sisters of Mercy Convent on Sunday
afternoon. 1t has been customary for
the priest to deliver short discourse to
the members of the sodalty after each
of their semi-monthly meetings, and
upon concluding his address on Sunday
last the project of the society, Miss Bella
McGili, arose to make the presentation.
On behalf of the sodality she compli-
mented Father McNally upon his success
in instituting and bringing to such per-
fection the organization, and after a
short review of his faithful work she
asked him to accept handsome gold
chalice as token of their appreciation
of his services. With wish that he
may live many years to use it the gift
was then set before the reverend gentle
man, who made few Intellectual efforts
to thank the young ladies, but the sur
prise upon receiving such present pre-
vented him from expressing his graft
tude in words.
Besides being appropriate, the chalice
is one of the most handsome and costly
gifts presented to any person in this sec
tion. The workmanship on it is very
good, and the article ranks among the
finest of its kind ever manufactured by
the firm of Feeley & Co., of Providence,
r. l. Around the base is the inscrip-
ton, Presented to Rev. F. p. McNally
by the Daughters of Mary's Sodality,
Drifton, Pa" The recipient feels ex-
ceedingly grateful to know that he is so
highly esteemed and that his work could
bring forth an unexpected result of that
kind. This, however is not the first re-
minder Father McNally has had that his
services are appreciated, as he received
valuable gold-headed cane from St.
AIMS Choir on March II, 1891.
The communion cup of the chalice will
be consecrated by Bishop O'Hara at the
earliest opportunity, and until that is
done it cannot be used.

The anthracite coal trade has improv-
ed, the colder weather of the past week
having increased the demand Other
wise there is no material change in the
situation of the coal trade. The general
sales agents of the ,nthracite corpora
tions will hold an adjourned meeting to-
day, when the carefully compiled and
revised figures of Chief of Bureau of
Anthracite Statistics John II. Jones will
be presented, showing the actual guam
tity of coal originating on the lines of
each of the anthracite carrying roads for
1891. Upon these figures will depend
largely the quota of output of anthracite
for 1892 to be allowed each company in
the understanding for the regulation of
the trade"
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
January 2, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 593, ,699 tons,
compared with AL $3.50 tons in the cores
ponding week of 1S90-91, an increase of
81 1874 tons.-Ledger.
