OHIO MINE CAVES IN.
No One Hurt, but salinevilIe Houses May
Take a Tumble.

Salineville, o., April 15.-Owing to
mistake of the surveyors of the Old
Shaft mine the shaft was run under the
bed of Big Yellow creek. Saturday aft
ernoon, while the miners We're at work,
the roof fell in without any warning.
The mine was flooded, and several of
the men had narrow escapes from
drowning. All day Sunday men We're at
work In the bed of the creek trying to
change the course of the stream, but
owing to the high water their efforts
were unsuccessful. The old shaft is
connected with the new mine, and the
wafer is backing UP in to the workings
of the latter, and it is feared that both
mines will be total loss. Two hundred
miners will be thrown out of work and
a loss of $4,000 to 100000 sustained by
the owners of the mine. The mines are
the only means of support of the peo-
pie of the town. There are grave fears
that the influx of water into the mines
will cause a disastrous cavern, as many
houses on East Main, High, and North
Water streets are built over the shaft

which started yesterday afternoon In
the livery stable of James Stormm, at
the south end of Main street. resulted
in the destruction of the court house
with all it's records, two entire business
blocks and the partial destruction of
a third block The flames rapidly en-
veloped the large livery stable and We're
carried by north wind over the entire
block
Although the volunteer fire depart
ment worked hard, the scarcity of
water and the fact that there were
several frame buildings in the block,
initiated against the men. The Clay &
Funkhouser Banking company, Hill &
Young, grocers; Trimble & McWil-
liams, F. c. Frost, George Ersig and
Joseph Sutler, jewelers.. are among the
principal losers. Very little goods were
saved from any of the burned build

thority that the political and financial
condition OF the republic is unstable.
and in the event of the death of Presi-

following:
"The board has determined to make
an effort to secure ut once q building
and endowment fund of $4,000. It Is
proposed to erect a dormitory building
to contain rooms for 40 students, and
for the present a library also a prcsi-
dents house, for which the president
viii pay rem until the college Is able to
place it Mt his disposal without cost.
These buildings will furnish what is
now imperaiively needed; and, as soon
as the money ri he secured, improve
ments will be made TO the grounds and
buildings, and other advantages will be
secured.
"Besides this $50, 900, il Is of very
great Importance that an additional
800, 900 should he added to the en-
dowment in order 10 secure an adj
diiional professor in The department of
natural sciences and also in the depart
ment Of history and literature. The
board not only asks the approval Of
the Synod astO these plans for enlarge
ment, but also cordial support
"Along educational lines, the Synod,
us n part of the Universal church, has a
great work 10 do. Instead Of lowering
our standard Of instruction, OF dimin-
ishing our work along Biblical and
religious lines, we should so enlarge
our institution, so increase its facilities
