.THREE.sroRY HOTEL TURNS
OVER AND LANDS ON ROOF
IN ABYSS.

Scranton, Pa, Jan. 3. - Abandoned
workings of the Eddy Greek colliery Of
the Delaware & Hudson company be-
meath the very heart of the town Of
Olyphant caved in yesterday after
noon and engulfed four frame build
tngs, covering an aggregate ground
space of 5000 square feet.
The settling was gradual and the
people in the affected territory escaped
without being Immediately en-
dangered. A gang of men and boys
who were at work in the mine beyond
the fall encountered a flooded depres-
sion in vein in making their way out
by a circuitous route and had to swim
across. No one was injured.
in half-hour, O'Brien's three-story
hotel, Mrs. Ann Evans double dwell
ing, Mrs. Jane Ackerly's double store
building, and one-story barber shop
were ground to debris in the yawning
pit, with the uppermost part of the
mound forty feet below the surface.
O'Brien's hotel, which plunged first
into the opening, entirely disappeared.
A few houses are projecting over the
edge of the pit. The vein that caved
in is lis feet below the surface. The
settling
Started in the Street
just in front of the hotel property. The
brick pavement was seen to be work
ing and the telegraph poles and trees
along the curb were noticed to be
webbing. The cause was apparent
and the alarm was spread Two sick
guests were removed from the hotel.
Twenty minutes after the disturb
ance was first noticed the opening had
widened until it reached across the
street and halfway beneath the hotel.
Then, with terrific crash the building
pitched forward, turned over and land
ed on it's roof in the bottom of the
abyss.
An immense amount Of earth from
the edge of the hotel went down with
it, and a moment later the adjoining
double dwelling of Mrs. Evans fell over
the edge and was demolished on the
ruins of the hotel. The Akerly store
building and the Evans barber shop
property slid into the chasm about the
same time and piled themselves, brok-
en- and twisted, on the debris. The
property damage is estimated at $780,
900.
