OLD Mine
CAVES IN AT
0LYPHANT
Hotels and Dwelling Houses
Drop Into Pit and Others Are
Hanging Onto the Edge.

Scranton. Pa, Jan 3-Abandoned work
ings OF the Eddy Creek colliery OF the
Delaware and Hudson company beneath
the very heart OF the town OF Olyphant
caved In yesterday afternoon, and engulf-
ed four frame buildings covering an az
gregate ground space of 5000 square feet.
The settling was gradual. and people
in the affected territory escaped without
being Immediately endangered.
A gang OF men and boys who were at
work in the mine beyond the fall sncoun-
tered a flooded dip or depression In
vein in making their wayout by a cir
cuitous route. and had To swim from one
rise TO the other. No one either above
or below ground. however. sustained any
injury.
At 8 o'clock the settling began. At $3.50
II was no longer perceptible. In the In
tervening half-hour o Briens three-story
hotel, Mrs. Ann Evans double dwelling.
Mrs. Jane Ackleys double-store building
and a one-story barber shop We're a
mound OF debris in the yawning pile, with
the upperrnost part OF the mound 70 feet
below the surface.
O'Brien's hotel which plunged first into
the opening. has entirely disappeared "A
few houses are projecting over the edge
OF the pit The vein that caved u rs
feet below the surface.
The settling started In the street just In
front. OF the hotel property. The brick
ing and the telegraph poles and trees
along the curb were wobbling. The cause
was at once apparent. and the alarm CIV
en- 10 all the neighborhood.
Some attempt was made at saving the
contents of the buildings. but the rapidly
increasing size of the opening In the
street put a stop to this, and everyone
fed from the neighborhood
Twenty minutes after the disturbance
was first noticed the opening had widen
ed until IL reached all the way across the
cf nd ha hanaath
hotel. Then with terrific crash the ho-
tell pitched forward, turned completely
about and landed on It's roof In the bot
tom of the abyss.
A moment later the adjoining dwelling
of Mrs. Evans fell over the edge and
demolished itself on the ruins OF the ho-
tel. The Ackerly double-stor building
and the Evans barber shop property sid
into the chasm about the same time and
piled themselves. broken and twisted. on
the other debris.
LAST night II was believed that there
was no further settling. The property
damaged is estimated at $4,000.

BURNING HOUSE
Only Means Of Escape Was by

Of Fire.
ON SOUTH MAIN STREET.

Shortly before midnight last night ffre

stories OF which are occupied az lodg-
ing house by Charles II. Sweetland. and
at the time OF the nre II men were asleep
In the house.
some little time when discovered by Of
ficer Walter Horr. for the nrst indice-
tion of II was when the blaEe burst
through the doorway on Crawford street.
The oficer sounded the alarm and then
ran up the stairs to arouse the inmates.
He threw open all doors unlocked and
burst open the rest.
A number OF the dodgers made their
escape down the stairway, the first batch
reaching the street as the fre depart
ment rolled up Ladders were quickly
raised and q number Of men who had
been driven back from the corridors by
the dense smoke were taken out through
the windows and IN a few minutes all
were on the street.
There was considerable panic among
the inmates and but for the promptness
of the fire department and a number OF
citizens some Of the inmates would
probably been suffocated. As II was they
were led to the street without damage,
although they were obliged TO run the
gauntlet OF f1re on the stairway
Some of the Inmates OF the upper story
were inclined to jump from the windows
and were prevented only by the hard
work of the fremen.
The building is a small wooden affair
two and one half stories In height and
bad place for fre. as II has but one
entrance -te the upper stories, and-that a
narrow one. The fire Is supposed to have
started under the stairway, and Its cause
is difficult 10 seek as there was prac-
tically nothing Of an infammatory nature
in that place. The damage to the build
ing is slight.
