SANK INTO THE EARTH
LITTLE MINING TOWN OF SCOTCH
VALLEY, PA, SWALLOWED UP.
Dozen Houses Have Disappeared and
Others Are SinkinG-Disaster Caused
by the Caving In of a Mine.

LOFTY, Pa, Sept. 5.-The little mining
town of Scotch Valley, in Lackawanna
county. 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 eastern
slope of Mount Lookout. the score Of
houses composing the hamlet being at the
mouth of the shaft of Mount Lookout col
liery. The widest excitement prevails
throughout the region, and details are frag-
mentary. 1t is known. however,
that the dozen houses either side
OF the principal street of the
hamlet are swallowed up in the gaping
sink hole, and nothing can be seen of the
other buildings of the town but the roofs,
gables and chimneys. 1t is impossible to
state accurately the number of fatalities,
or If there are any. Rescuing parties are
now exerting every means to release the
occupants of the engulfed dwellings. One
OF the buried houses has taken fire. The
cavern was caused by the giving way of
the timber supports in the workings of the
Mount Lookout colliery, which have not
been in operation for about two years and
had been neglected in consequence.
About 5 o'clock this afternoon the In
habitants of the hamlet 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. Ominous as were these sounds, the
terror stricken townspeople were still
further Mortified when the ground trem-
bled and swayed like an earthquake be-
meath them. Report was followed by re-
port and accompanied by other tremors,
and then the village sank out of sight in
the gaping cavity. Meanwhile some fifty
miners were imprisoned in the colliery.
They had been at work in a new portion
of the mine and the usual means
of exit from the mine was
completely wiped out by the
cave in. James Perrin, one OF the Oldest
of the miners, got the men together, and
started to lead them up through a tunnel
which had been used as an air shaft, but
which leads to the surface through a series
of slopes. The rescuing party on the sur
face had made an attempt to cut a pas
sage 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 struggling upwards The Nen were
carried to the surface, where the crowd
of panic-stricken people were awaiting
them.
Up to o'clock tonight all the persons
who could be found have been taken from
the ruins. although the full roll OF those

Eight Persons Burned or SuffO-

PINE CITY, Mimi, Sept. 5.-The death
roll at Hinckley is growing, but slowly.
Early to-day the remains of three bodies
were brought in from the eastern county
road. One was man. OF the other two
there was left but a hand and leg. The
hand was that of a child, but the leg was
that of a boy. Later in the forenoon the
bodies of Mr.. Lowell and his family four
altogether, were recovered. They lived
about two miles north of town. Searching
parties are out in dll directions, but their
orders were to bury the dead where they
lie. The seven bodies brought in, with the
body of Axel Hanson, county commission
er, which was not included IN yesterdays
total, brings the total number in Hinckley
up to 221, and In the vicinity of Hinckley to
upwards of 230. AS yet it has been impos-
sible to approach the mill pond. The heap
of sawdust and edgings which form its
bank are still sending up dense clouds of
binding smoke, rendering 1t impossible for
a man to get near the water. 1t has been
decided to draw off the water, as it is now
supposed that there are many bodies in the
pond. At Pine City the work of relief is
running smoothly.
Arrangements are being perfected for
grand memorial meeting to be held in the
park on Sunday evening. This suggestion
was made at meeting of the general COM
mittee and met with instant favor. The
memorial services will be extensive in char
acter, and will be participated in by sew
eral Twin City pastors.
There has been a good deal Of talk to the
effect that Hinckley and Mission Creek,
having been wiped from the face of the
earth, would simply remain memory.
Nothing is further from the truth. Hinck-
ley. being junction point and a source Of
labor supply, could not help being resur-
rected, and the work of restoring the town
as fully as possible will be begun at once.
The same will be done at Mission Creek.

ODD AND AGED TWIN SISTERS.
Aged So, Worked Sixty Years in One
Mill and Never Rode on a Train.

From the Boston Journal.
At Peterboro, n. H., live Elvira and
Elmira Fife, who claim to be and prob,
ably are the oldest twins living in that
state. Next August they will be SO. At
the age of II they entered the employ of a
local manufacturing company, and for
sixty years they remained on it's pay roll,
the maximum wages earned being y9 cents
per day and the minimum Il cents for
three days labor. A reporter recently
visited them.
is it true you have never ridden on a
railroad train" queried he.
ut is" was the reply: land what is

Will. Although the Boston and Maine rail
road has run cars within ten rods of our
door since they built the road into this
town we have never yet entered car. we
came pretty near it at one time A few
years ago some of the townspeoplew wished
US to take ride in the cars, aud we came
so near ii that we went to the depot but
backed out before we got aboard"
Nor have these ladies ever entered a
theater, and very rarely did they enter
society, and in all their lives they have
been separated but seventy hours at any
one interval, and when Elvira was taken

could not recover, Elmira was nearly
crazy, and threatened TO commit suicide

las they always call each other) is taken
away"
The strong resemblance between them
is still as noticeable as ever. One great
popularity about these women has been
that although living in the same house
and eating from the same table, they
have always lived separately that is
each has cooked her own meal. If one
had boiled dinner the other had a boiled
dinner, and it was not cooked in the same
pot either. If one had turkey the other
would buy little larger one, and so in
everything they wed with each other to
see who would live the best.

interests in India and other parts Of
the world.
Gold locked up in the vaults OF Lon
don does the commercial world outside
of England no good. There might be
ten times as much gold in London as
there is, and if there were none, or but
little, elsewhere, the insufficiercy of
gold as standard money for the remain
der of the commercial nations would be
apparent. The tendency of gold mono
metallism is to tie the trade of the
whole world to England, and the
Americans who oppose bi-metallism ad-
vocate the subsection of their country
to Great Britain.
But at the same time when there is
not gold enough to supply other count
ries as we'll as England, the trade of
the latter country suffers. 1t would
prospect if there were all the gold in
the world that commerce needs. But
when the trade of other countries is
paralyzed by lack of gold they can
buy nothing, and consequently England
itself suffers. The plethora of gold in
the London banks means simply that
commerce in general is stagnant. If it
were active, gold would rush away from
London. But long before other coun-
tries acquired all that their CONNER
cial needs demanded, the discount rate
would be raised, and thus gold exporta-
tions would be stopped. Instantly,
commerce would be checked in its ad-
vance. Commerce never will attain its
full development as long as the gold
standard is adhered to, for there is not
enough to 60 around.
Arizona republican., 1894-05-18
THE PLETHORA OF GOLD.


Again the Boston Herald comes to the
attack against bimetallism by citing the
London Economist as a witness that
there is plethora of gold in England,
and that therefore, the claim of bimet-
allists that there is not gold enough to
do the business of the world is without
merit.
This leads the Denver Republican to
remark: L" With stupidity the gods
themselves fight in vain" says the Ger
man proverb, judging by the persistency
with which the Herald repeats this
utterly worthless argument. The fact
that there is great deal of gold in
London is no evidence that there is
plenty of that metal elsewhere in the
world. London Is the sink into which
the gold of the world pours. Witness
the fact that gold is going from the
United States to Europe. A great part
of 1t goes to London. The banks of
London are draining gold from all over
the world. This places every nation
more or less in subsection to England,
and we may add that England never
would think of favoring anything but
the gold standard, if it were not for the
condition of its foreign trade and its
