people to suppose Although it was COM
paratively insignificant to the cave-in at the
Lost Creek store in surface appearance, it
proved a bad one from the tracks down.
When the surface first went down it left a
long narrow opening extending entirely
under both tracks of the railroad and left
them suspended in the air at height of about
thirty feet; that is, down to the opening of
the old breast. The opening as shown up tho
surface was about forty feet long, running
north and south under the tracks, and about
fifteen feet wide. But Immediately below
the crust of the frozen surface there was an
immense cavern.
While the HERALD reporter was at the
scene the top at the south end of the breach
was continually dropping and was rapidly
extending under the dirt bank OF which cars
were being run to send eulm down sheet
irons to fill up the hole
The cave-in was about half mile east of
the one that occurred near the Lost Creek
depot on Sunday, the 4th inst, and about
midway between Packerton Junction and
Packer No. 2 breaker 1t was caused by the
giving in of breast that was worked out
when the fire started in that colliery about
eight years ago.
Roadmaster Reed had gravel train at the
scene, and said he thought the hole would be
filed up and the tracks made safe for travel
by this morning. Meantime trains would be
run east and west between Shenandoah and
Ashland and passengers would be transferred
at the scene of trouble
The system of transfer yesterday was very
poor. A large number of prominent people
who were returning from Ashland, where
they attended the McNIurtrie funeral, were
landed at the cave-in by the train scheduled
to arrive here at 3;OS p. m. and were obliged
to suffer the cold weather until 4;2O p. m,
when a train from the east arrived to take
them to Shenandoah. Some very bitter com
plants were made, as it was thought the
company should have made arrangements for
closer transfers. Many people who were
bound for Pottsville missed connections with
the 4;1O train here on account of the delay,
and were obliged to remain in town and
await the departure of the 525 train. Some
crossed over to the electric railway at No. 2,
but even these parties failed TO make the 4:lO
Pottsville connection.
Gangs of wOrkmen employed by both the
railroad and coal companies worked all after
noon and night loading coal dirt on cars and
dumping it into the breach, and by six o'clock
this morning the railroad tracks were once
more upon a solid bed and trains passed over
them safely. There was no delay to traffic
to-day

81 500 with instructions to hurry with his
family to England and claim the balance of
an immense fortune to which he was entitled
by the recent death of relative.
George White, who was the man referred
to, was found at his residence, No. 43G West
Apple alley to-day. Though to all appear
ances a man in very poor circumstances, he
maintains a wonderfully dignifed bearing
and looked exceedingly wise when under the
cross-fre examination of the HERALD re-
porters.
Mr.. White was informed of the rumor. At
first he refused to confirm or deny it. He
also refused to say whether or not he had
received $1,000 with the instructions above
mentioned, or to say how much had been
left him, who left it, and in what part of
England it was.
To use Mr.. Whites own words, "If you
stand here all day you will get nothing from
me-"
"Then you will go back to. England and
claim the fortune2' asked the reporter.
No answer,
"Do you confirm or deny what we have
stated T
"Who told you that?"
"That is a secret we cannot divulge"
"Well, III see if can make you tell, the
rumored heir said as he iammed his hands
down into his pants pockets.
Mr. White was assured that there was no
law that could force the name from the re-
porters and as they were about to leave they
said, "Well, 1 suppose we must rely upon The
information we have"
"Are you going to publish it2" asked Mr..
White, after calling the newspaper men
back.
Eyes sir"
''Well, don't see any use of doing that
1t has already been published in the papers
in England"
'Haye you got one of the papers?" he was
asked.
'No. But what are you going to publish2"
THAT You have received 81 500 and" --
"Do you think I'd be handling scoop if l
had?7 asked White
The reporters were then trying to explain
to him chat he had not denied the report
when Mrs. White appeared from behind a
door and exclaimed, "Oh, that has been the
talk for months We first heard of it about
a year ago, but have heard nothing since.
We don't know what amount it is, or where
it is. We only heard that one of the English
papers published piece saying that man
named White in this town had been left a
large fortune. Anyone who told you that
we got s., 900 lied"
'oh, I see" exclaimed one of the re-
porters, as he started of with his companion,
md the man with the wise looked followed
MS wife into the house.

RUSSIA CLAIMS A $1,000 MILE LIMIT.

A Very High-Handed Proceeding Against
American and English sealers.
VICTORIA, B. O., Aug 31.-The Ameri-
can bark Majestic, from Patropaulovski,
reached here last evening, having aboard
the captains and crews of the four sealing
schooners Rosie, Olsen Alice and Willie
MCGOWAN, flying the British flag, and the
American schooner c. II. White, of San
Francisco. These four were sealing off
Copper Island, between 40 and 80 miles, dur
ing the latter part of July, when the Rus
sian war ship, Seabraka, and the Fur Com
pany's steamer Kodiak, bearing the Gov
ernor of Bering Island, rounded them up one
bv one, sent the schooners to be sold at
Petropaulovski, and made the captains and
crews prisoners.
The captain objected to the seizure,
claiming they were freemen on free waters,
whereupon the marines pricked them with
the points of their bayonets and informed
them there was such a place as Siberia for
those who spoke too loudly of freedom.
Both the British and American shippers
recognized that it was no time for talking,
still they ventured to protest that they
were away outside the three-mile limit and
were met with the astounding information
from the officers of the Seabraka: "Russia
is sovereign over the water 1 1000 miles from
her shores" The captain of the Russian
cruiser based his action on the ground that
Russia exercised jurisdiction over all land
and water west of the line of demarcation.
After being taken aboard the Seabraka the
master of each schooner was ordered to sign
paper, written in Russian and explained
by the interpreter as an acknowledgement
that he had been sealing in Russian waters.

Jumping the fence. The sound appeared to
come from the back of the house near the
kitchen, where there is fence between the
Borden and Chagnon yards. Her daughter
also heard it. In fact her daughter heard
it first and called her attention to it. The
daughter was so much frightened that
shortly after she refused to go downstairs to
the cellar. Witness told her it was the dog,
but the daughter pointed out where the dog
was then lying.
Martha Chagnon testified in confederation
of her mother in regard to the noise at the
fence. This closed the evidence and the ar
guments will be begun at 1890 tomorrow.

A SALVATION ARMY SCANDAL.
Serious Charges Against Commandant
Booth Following Canadian Secession

Serious Charges Against Commandant
Booth Following n Canadian Secession
TORONTO, ONT, Aug. 31.-Recently
Brigadier Philpott, of the Salvation Army,
was given the option of a reduction in rank
or resignation by Commandant Booth, son
of General Booth, to punish him for alleged
rebellious spirit. Philpott resigned, and
several officers and many privates seeded
with him.
Philpott then made charges that several
valuable barrack sites had been sold
throughout the country, and that the pro-
ceeds had been used to furnish the officers
at headquarters with large salaries, on
which they lived in luxury. He also made
a special charge of extravaganza and luxuri-
Gus living against Marechal Booth, daughter
of General Booth, while she was travelling
in Canada These charges Commandant
Booth declined to notice, but The revolt
from his standard has assumed such alarm
ing proportions here and throughout the
country that he will tomorrow mail to all
the Canadian officers reply to the charges.
He denies all of them, and offers considera-
BILE evidence in support of his denial.
