SANK In A MINE.

Abandoned working of the Eddy Creek
colliery of the Delaware and Hudson
Company, beneath the very heart of the
town of Olyphant. Pa, cayed in yester-
day afternoon and engulfed frame build
ings covering an aggregate ground space
of 5000 square feet. The settling was
gradual, and people in the affected
territory escaped without being immed-
lately endangered. A gang of men and
boys who were at work in the mine be-
yond the fall, encounteda flooded "dip,"
or depression in vein, in making their
way out by circuitons 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 o'clock it was no longer percept-
ible In the intervening half hour,
O'Brien's three-story hotel, Miss Ann
Evans's double dwelling, Mrs. Jane
Ackerly's double store building, and
one-story barber shop were mound Of
debris in the chasm, with the uppermost
part of the mound forty feet below the
surface. O'Brien's Hotel, which plunged
first into the opening, has entirely dis
appeared. A few houses are projecting
over the edge of the pit. The vein that
caved in is l15 feet below the surface
The settling started in the street just
in front of tie hotel property. The brick
street pavement was seen to be moving,
and the telegraph poles and trees along
the curb were noticed to be wabbling.
The cause was at once apparent, and
the alarm was given to all the neighbor-
hood. Two sick guests were removed
from the hotel and taken two blocks
away to a private house. Some attempt
was made at saving the contents of the
building, but the rapidly increasing size
of the opening in the street put stop to
this and everybody fed from the neigh
borhoOd
Twenty minutes after the disturbance
was first noticed the opening had widen
ed until it reached all the way across the
street and half way beneath the O'Brien
hotel. Then, with n terrific crash, the
hotel pitched forward, turned complete
ly about, and landed on its roof in the
bottom of the abyss.
A moment later the adjoining double
dwelling of Mrs. Evans fell over the
edge, and demolished itself on the ruins
OF the hotel. The Ackerly double store
building and the Evans barber shop
property slid into The chasm about the
same time, and piled themselves, broken
and twisted, on the other debris. The
property damage is estimated at $780,
OC0. Up to. midnight no further dis
tarbance had been reported.

But you must be careful. They can
shoot their arrows very straight and

it would be a great grief to US"
I assured the King that I had no
fear and at once set out on a run for
the shore. When l reached it l hid
behind a big rock and L warned our
people to keep out of sight.
The robbers came on boldly, al
though they were so few in numbers,
and presently they landed almost be-
side the rock that sheltered me.
