HAzLEToN, Pa, Jan. 12-Last even
ing miner on his way from the Laurel
Hill shaft to his home on South Pine
street, noticed a ragged black line in the
snow near the pavement He found the
crack extended along Pine street 30 feet
The miner knew what that meant. He
knew that 700 feet below that part of the
city men were at work taking out coal
S ohe rang the door bell of the nearest
house, and told the man who lived there
of his discovery.
An hour later 1000 men and women
were patrolling Pine, Chapel, Walnut,
Chestnut and Cedar streets with Ian
terms. They found fifty cracks from half
an inch TO five inches in width. In the
walls of houses long, ragged lines were
found.
Foundations had fallen away from the
frame structures in some cases five
inches. The yards and alleys were
scanned, and occasionally cracking
noise indicated that the buildings were
settling further.
Soon twenty families were moving
out Of their homes. Women hurried
along the streets to safer neighborhood
their arms filed with bundles of clothing
clocks, and bric-a-brac. Sleighs and
wagons were backed up to the door
steps and all the furniture was carried
off
Now and then it was noticed that the
cracks In the streets gaped further, and
it was found that for thirty feet on the
north side of Chapel street, east of Pine,
the ground had fallen fully yard. Long,
undulating hollows here and there showed
that the street was caving in elsewhere
and the excitement grew, minute by
minute
OF those who moved away about a score
took with them part or all of their house
hold belongings, while the rest put out
the fires in firAhces and stoves and de-
parted without trying to save any furni-
ture.
The cavern commenced on Christmas
Day, and the first houses to suffer were
in the neighborhood of Broad and Pine
streets Ii extends southwark five blocks
and a-half, ending 100 feet beyond Chapel
street, and east and west about one block
between Wyoming and Cedar streets A.
Pardee & Co are the people operating
beneath that district. Five hundred
houses are affected.
