ENGULFED ATOWN
Mount Lookout CoIIiery
Caves In.
EVERY HOUSE GOES DOWN.
Nothing Can Be Seen Now but
the Chimneys.
VERY HOUSE GOES DOWN.
MANY PEOPLE IN THE RUINS.
The Number of Fatalities Not Known,
but Willing Hands Rush to
the Rescue.

LoFTKA. Pa, Sept. 5.-The little mining
town os Scotch Valley, near this place,
was swallowed up tonight in one of the
most complete mine cave-ins ever known
in this region. The scene of the disaster
is on the slope of Mount Lookout, the
score of houses comprising the hamlet be-
ing at the mouth of the shaft of the Mount
Lookout colliery. The widest excite
ment prevails throughout the region and
details are fragmentary. 1t is known,
however. that the dozen houses on each
side of the principal street of the hamlet
are completely swallowed up in the gaping
hole, and nothing can be seen Of the other
buildings of the town but the roof, gables
and chimneys. 1t is impossible to state
accurately the number of fatalities, or IL
there are any. Parties are exerting every
means to release the occupants of the en-
gulfed dwellings. One of the buried
houses has taken fire.
The cave-in was caused by the giving
way of timbsrs and supports in the work
ings of the Mount Lookout colliery, which
has not been in operation for about two
years and had been neglected in conse-
quenee.
At about o'clock this afternoon the
inhabitants of the hamlet were startled by
rumbling reports. like falling rock in the
caverns of the abandoned mine, many
hundreds of feet below them. The ground
beneath them trembied and swayed like
an earthquake. Report was followed by
report and accompanied by other tremors,
and the village sank out of sight in the
gaping cavern.
Meanwhile some fifty miners were i'm
prisoned in the colliery. They had been
at work in another portion Of the mine,
and all means OF exit from the mine was
completely cut off by the eave-in. James
Perrin. one of the Oldest of the miners.
got the men together and started to lead
them up through tunnel which had been
used as an air shaft. The rescuiug party
OIL the surface had made an attempt to
cut passage through the mass of debris
which blocked the main entrance. Fall
ing in this some of the more daring of the
party came into the passage and came to
where the Imprisoned miners were strug-
CLING upward. The men were carried 10
the surface, where a great crowd of ex-
cited people were awaiting them.
Up to 9 O'Clock tonight all the persons
who could be found had been taken from
the ruins. although full roll Of those to
be accounted for cannot be prepared until
morning.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.
The Department of State Not Advised
as to Nicaragua Affairs.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-Acting Secre-
tary of State Uhl said to-day that the
Governments reports from Nicaragua on
the Blueields troubles have been very
meager. 1t is inferred from recent reports
that the two Americans who were ar
rested aud placed under parole have con-
formed TO the decree of Punishment with
cut giving any further trouble to the
authorities. The department has not
been in formed as TO whether there was
cause for the banishment of these Ameri-
cans. Before leaving. Washington Seere-
tary Gresham sent instructions TO Mr..
Baker which were intended to cover all
contingencies growing out of the Blue
fielus affair and which would protect all
Americans in their rights.

arrived after twenty-five hours ride
at Dresden.
The ride took so long z time, firstly,
on account of the severe cold and the

Bright Spring Days.

The spring should be pre-eminently
season of contentment, happiness and
hope. In these bright and pleasant
months the country should enjoy its
highest degree of tranquility aud pros
perity. But spring, it is well known, is
often period of discomfort and disturb
ance in the physical system. Important
organs of the body became torpid or ir-
regular in their action, and the fact is in
stantly reflected in the mental condition
of the individual. A disordered liver
means disOrdered nerves aud dull and
unsteady brain. Anything which will
bring the physical system into harmony
with budding Nature confers an enor-
nous benefit upon the nation, besides
the mere allaying of physical discomfort.
Hoods Sarsaparilla does this, as thous-
snds Of grateful and happy men and wo-
men can testify, and increase use Of this
standard spring medicine is OF more real
practical importance in promoting health
and quiet in the business world than
reamls of abstra-t theorizing.

Mrs Bernard Beere buys mechanical
dolls as other women invest in bon

Christine Nilsson has fancy for
