THE EARTH OPENED
And a Little Pennsylvania village
Dropped Out Of Sight.
Blocked the Entrance to Mine The
Imprisoned workmen Were Rescued
with Great Difficulty.


LoFTY, Pa, Sept. 6.-The little mining
town OF Scotch Valley, in Lackawanna
county, was swallowed up In one Of the
most complete mine cave-ins ever known
In this region. The scene Of the disaster
Is on the eastern slope OF Mt. Lookout,
the score Of houses composing the hamlet
being the mouth Of the shaft Of MI Look
out coliicry.
The widest excitement prevails through
out the region and details are fragment
ary. 1t Is known, however, that the dozen
houses on either side Of the principal street
Of the hamlet are completely swallowed
pin the gaping slnkhole, and nothing can
be seen OF the other buildings Of the town
but roof gables and chimneys.
The cave-in was caused by tho giving
away OF the timber supports In workings
Of the Mt Lookout colliery, which have
not been in operation for about two years
and had been neglected in consequence.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
the inhabitants were startled by the
rumbling, thunderlike reports, which
warned them OF the falling Of
Tons of Rock and Debris
into the deserted caverns Of the abandoned
mine, many feet beneath them.
The people were still further horrined
when the ground trembled and swayed
like an earthquake beneath them. Report
WAS followed by report, and accompanied
by other tremors. and then the village
sank out of sight In the gaping cavity.
Meanwhile, some 30 miners were i'm
prisoned in the colliery. They had been
at work in new portion of the mine, and
their usual means Of exit from the mine
were completely wiped out by the cave-in.
James Perrin, one Of the oldest of the
miners, got the men together, however,
and started to lead them up through a
tunnel which had been used as an air
shaft. but which leads to the surface
through series of steep slopes.
The rescuing party on the surface had
made an attempt to put passage through
the mass of debris which blocked the main
entrance. Failing in this, some Of the
more daring of the rescuers descended the
air passage and penetrated the slope
where the Imprisoned miners were strug-
Cling upwards.
The men were carried to the surface,
where a great crowd Of excited, panic
stricken people were awaiting them. All
the persons who could be found have been
taken from the ruins.

ALL OUT ON BAIL,
Trial of Lavigne and the Seconds
Set for Jan. 2.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 15.-Charges
were made against the participants OF
last nights fight. AS soon as the news
OF Bowen's death became generally
known, crowds began to gather about
the second recorders court, for it was
correctly supposed that if there were
any arrests and arrai gnments, they
would be made before Judge AucOin.
BY noon a large crowd had assembled,
and the court room was filled.
Lavigne was the principal In the case,
and was arraigned along with his man
ager, Sam Fitzpatrick, Martin Murphy.
his seconds, and Billy McCarty, Albert
Spitzfadden, Billy Layton, Bowen's
seconds; George Considine, Lavigne's
timekeeper, aud Prof. John Dutfv, the
referee OF the fight. Layigne was
charged with murder, and the others
being charged as accessories to the act,
Sergeant McCabe made the affidavits
against them, and when they were all
arragned before Judge Aucoin, he
placed Lavigne under a $4,000 bond.
and the others under $1,000 bond each.
LaVigne wore sour look. Mr.. Gull
aume went on the bonds of Duffy and
Spltzfadden for $1,000 each, and these
parties were released. d. G. O'Malley
signed LavIgne's bond for $4,000 and
the bonds of Billy McCarty. Sam Fitz-
patrick and Martin Murphy for $1,000
each. Mr.. La Gourlaine signed the
bonds of George Considine and Billy
Layton.
Lavigne was asked regarding the
death of Bowen and the arrest of the
participants IN. the fight. Il regret it
very much indeed" he replied, Bowen
was good fighter, and one Of the
plucklest fellows | have ever met. 1t
is gross injustice to me, however, to say
tnat the Knockout blow L gave Bowen

a Knockout lick at all. It was the

DISTINCTLY PIsCATORIAL.
A Yarn About Hayward From
Saginaw, Mich.


Speca! to the Globe
SAGINAW. Mich, Dec. 15.-There are
many people in Saginaw who believe
that the Harry Hayward. now in Jail
for the murder of Miss Catherine Cling,
and Henry Haywood, a convict of Sag
inaw. are one and the same Individual.
Away back in 1879 or 1880 a dashing
sport by the name OF Henry Haywood,
who very closely answers in every de-
tail the published description and
pictures Of Harry Hayward, came to
Saginaw. and was the principal IN an
abduction case, by which Miss Annie
Burgdorf was carried away and forced
to marry this same Haywood. The alleged
motive for the crime at that time was the
securing of Miss BurgdOrfs signature
to certain valuable documents which,
had he not been caught, would have
yielded Haywood large sum of money.
The officers at that time worked up
a case against him, although they we're
not able TO trace his mysterious move
mentS before his advent to Saginaw,
and he was sent to the states prison at
Jackson for term of ten years. No
one took any interest in his statements
after his release, but the publication of
the details of the murder of Miss Cling
recalls to mind many of the peculari-
ties of the man who abducted Miss
BurgdOrf. Will Schaefer, who was all
officer in Saginaw at that time, but who
las since left the force, is sure that the
larry Hayward of today was the Henry
Haywood of fourteen years ago.

GAME TO THE LAST,
Bowen Showed No Signs ofFIinch>
ing in the Fatal Round.


New ORLEANS. Dec. 15.-When the
men faced each other for the eighteenth
round it was apparent that the end of
the light was near. Bowen had re-
ceiyed so mauy hard Tight-handers over
the heart that he was weak and groggy
when he left his corner. He was game,
however, and walked mechanically to-
wards his strong young adversary.
Lavlgne opened with left jab Oh the
neck, and although the blow was not a
particularly hard one it brought look
of anguish III the face OF the thoroughly
beaten little man. His mouth was
partly open. while his eyes wore wild,
frightened look. His cheeks were
bruised and swollen, and his lips were
puffed out. The cut over the left eye
was the only color in his pallid face
His breath was in short gasps and for
breathing for a moment he would catch
his breath.
With wonderful gameness he would
not finch from the shower OF blows
rained on him by Lavigne, and, al
though his strength was gone, he tried
bravelY to fight back every time the
victor was close enough. Lavigne
would either dodge the blows thus at
tempted or let them land harmlessIy on
him. He was landing on the local man
at will. Bowen was staggered to the
ropes by an onslaught OF mis- powerful
foe. While there, ia a helpless condi-
ton and trying to clinch, Lavigne
planted his left over the heart, and.
crossing savagely with his right, landed
terrific blow on the angle of the jaw.
Bowen fell back like a felled tree, and
his head struck the floor heavily. La
vigne walked to his corner, while Duffy
counted the ten seconds.
The beaten man was picked up limp
and, to all appearances, lifeless. by his
handlers and carried to his dressing

VAN LEUVEN OWNS UP.
PENSION FRAUD CASES COME

DUBUQUE, To-, Dec. Is. - The Van

sudden end this afternoon. The jury
for the trial of the Bennett case was
sworn in this morning, and the taking

AT this hour counsel for defense and
government were IN consultation, ana

guilty before the jury waiting to try
him, and they returned a verdict ac-

Immediately began to congregate about
the Bowen home, and the newspaper
men and friendS of the dead pugilist,
with his relatives, were permitted to
view the remains The dead man
showed signs of the rough treatment he
had received. Those who saw the fight
said that lt was not so much the blow
which Laylgne had struck upon the
jaw. but the concuSSiOn produced by
his fall upon the flooring of the ring.
Bowen'S body Jay on its back when
reporter saw it early today, and what
ever wound there was on the back of
the head was not visible. The lips were
swollen and there was tinge or purple
about them. and his rather large face
seemed somewhat larger than usual, al
though there was no strong sign of pain
upon il. The features were natural, the
mouth partly open.
The News OF BoWen's Death
was made knOwn to Lavigne and his
PoAAf oAlOAl4J dIlSL II AdQ UScIl CUlllu u
nicated by telephone to the central sta
ton. Layigne had been detained at
the station with his seconds and attend
ants all night. and he slept but little,
being anxious every moment TO get It'd
ings from the bedside or the wounded
pugiliSt. Lavigne was impressionably
shocked when he heard the news Of
Bowen'S death, and expressed his pro-
found sympathy for BOwen's wife. In
answer to question, lie said that he
did not feel that he had been the direct
cause OF the death of the pugillst; in
other words, the blow which he had
delivered on the jaw had not been suffi
ciently forceful to have carried with it
fatal consequences. He said he be
lleyed that when Bowen fell his head
had struck the pine flooring, and that
the concussiOn had been the immediate
cause of his death. l.avigne was not
only sorry for Bowen's death. but he
was in much apprehension as to what
would become of himself in connection
with the fight, and how long it was
likely that he would be kept In prison.
Friends assured him that he would
probably have no difficulty in obtaining
his release after the usual formalitieS of
the law had been complied with, and
that he need have no fear Of lack of
friends and influence to help him out OF
his unfortunate dilemma.

POLICE ROTTENNESS.
Policcm"n Thorne Makes a Sem
sationaI Confession Implicat-
ing High Officials.

NEW YORK, Dec. Is. = Policeman
ThOrne, who figured in the testimony
adduced at the recent trial and con-
victiOn Of Capt. Stephenson, made a
confession today, duplicating several
officers. While awaiting bail, Thorne
broke down in the TOmbs today,a and said
he was willing to tell all he knew. He
was taken to the Office OF Assistant
District Attorney Lindsay and stenog-
rapher were callee in. Thorne made a
clean breast Of the Stephenson affair,
and then went on to give a complete
story of blackmaiI and corruption in the
police department as he knew it. He
has been policeman for six years.
When he came out Of the Offlce his eyes
were red from weeping.
IhOrne has been attached to the
Leonard street station during the COM
mands of Capts. Ekins, Siebert, Ste
phenson, Cross, Schmittberger, Doherty
and Acting Captain O'Toole.
Mr.. Lindsay said that the story as
told by Therne corroborated the testi-
mony as brought out on the trial of ex-
Capt. Stephenson. He said also that
Thorne had positively refused to be a
witness for Stephenson at the latter's
trial last week, as he did not want to
again injure himself Thorne was re-
leased on bail.
As result of Thone'S confession, the
grand jury Will have charges against
number of high police officials laid be-
fore it next week. ThOrne went into
the entire system of bribery and cor
ruptiOn, and mentioned name after
name of men who have hitherto not
been charged at ali, duplicating them
all in the elaborate system of corrup-
tiOn.
Action was taken by the district at.
torney's Office as soon as ThOrne had
finished his story, and men were sent
out 10 watch certain parties who must
know that charges will be brought
against them, and who, it is thoug hit,
may want to escape from the jurisdic~
tiOn OF the courts. Who these men are
the district attorney cannot say, as it
would be miSdemeanor for him to
make their names public.
Augustus f. ThOrne, the patrolman
who, this afternoon, is said to have
made complete confession. revealing
details OF the system of corruption in
the police department, was reinstated
tonight and given back his old post in
the LdOnard street station. The rein
statement was made by Supt. Yyrnes.

the stage upon which they had been
lighting with such tremendous force
that lt sounded as IL the floor had been
heavily hit with the poll of an AK. When
Hall and FftZsimmOns fought In this
same arena the floor was thickly COW
cred with padding, over which a sheet
OF canvas had been tightly stretched.
Last night for some unexplained rea-
son this padding had been removed and
the canvas had been stretched over the
bare boards of the stage. Had the stage
been in this condition when FitZ
Knocked Hall out, there appears to be
little doubt that Hall would have been
fatally Injured. and with such circum-
stance fresh in their minds it appears
almost unacc0untabe that the mana
gers OF the clubIshould have taken such
a serious risk as that 10 be incurred by
permitting men to fight on an unpadded
floor. The doctors who were in attend
ance upon Bowen last night said that il
was not the blow that had done the
mischief, but the striking of his head
upon the floor, which had produced con-
cuSSIon or the brain.
