BIC MINE CAVES IN.
Part of a Town Slowly Sinks Out of Sight.
LINERS HAVE 4 NARROW ESCAPE.
Eddy Creek Colliery, at Olyphant, Flooded With Water and Tenn
 porari1y Rendered Unflt For OpeTatiOn.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Jan. 3.-One hundred and fifty men engulfed by a cave in at the Eddy Creek colliery made their way to the surface by swimming in water up to their necks in the food ed mine. Two blocks of the town of Olyphant which stood over the area of disturbance were buried by the sinking of the earth, and the inhabitants were divided in their concern for the safety of those wgo might be in the buildings and for the men known to be at work far beneath the surface.
 O'Brien's West End hotel, a barber shop and eight dwellings began at o'clock in the afternoon to gradually sink. The alarm was spread so prompt ly that the tenants escaped in ample time. The hotel listed to one side and caught fire, and the flames were rapid ly communicated to the other buildings. The firemen who responded to the call for help were obliged to retreat on ac- count of the yielding ground. The buildings sank to depth of fifty feet
 Beneath the surface the roar of the cave in and the rush of the waters of the creek, which was turned into the mine, filled the minds of the miners with terror. They could not tell from what part of the workings the disturb ance came.
 The creek, which supplied the mine with water for the boilers, was divert ed into the mine itself by the collapse and the waters rushed through the mass of debris which fell into several of the headings. There was a narrow passage left open, however, which served as the channel for the subterra- mean torrent which was rushing through the mine.
 One hundred and fifty men made their way to this passageway and, swimming up to their necks in the cur rent, struggled to reach daylight. They believed the cave in was more exten- siye than it actually was, and as they swan they believed it would not be long before their progress would be stopped by an accumulation of mate rial from the crash which had occurred somewhere above them.
 After a long struggle the miners suc- ceeded in getting to the surface. The call of the roll showed that none was missing, and in every home in the lit tie town of Olyphant there is rejoicing.
 The escape of the miners was expe- dited by the prompt work of the off cials of the Delaware and Hudson company, the corporation which owns the mine. The company expects to pump out the mine in three days, after which operations will be resumed

LESSON FOR TRAVELLERS.
Notable Instance of the Inexorable Enforcement of Uncle sam's
 Customs Laws.

y < i. & -
 Smuggling is a crime much more se- rious in the eyes of the government of- ficials than in those of many persons that cross the Atlantic every summer or SO, How serious it is was illus trated in New York, when a United States district court judge ordered the jury to find verdict for the govern ment against wealthy Mrs. Dulles, charged with bringing pearl necklace into this port surreptitiously, writes correspondent of the Pittsburg Ga- zette. The result of the judges order is that Mrs. Dulles lost her necklace, which cost 65,o00 francs in Paris, and is valued in this country at $26,0o0. The defendant wore the necklace ashore from hessteamer under a shirt waist, sandstiidf notedeclare it until she was asked about it by customs off cer. Then she brought it forth and de- nied that she intended to smuggle. Her husband, who, obviously, is rich
 man, was indignant that there should be any doubt thrown upon his wife's or his own integrity, and fought the case vigorously in court. The judge believed it was a clear case, however, and did not even leave it to the dis cretion of the jury, but ordered them to decide against the defendant, which means that the United States takes the necklace as punishment of the attempt to evade the payment of duty. On jewelry the duty is very high-6O per cent. adsvalorem. The temptation to bring it into the country without paying the import charges to the rev enue department is very great, there fore, and unless passengers con sciences are exceedingly tender, the customs authorities believe they have strong reason to be suspicious of near ly everybody. It is probable that this Dulles decision will be appealed to an other court, but if the case is as clear as the judge to-day considered it was, there is littlesif any hope of any re- lief for the day The loss of $26,ooo article is something to make would-be smugglers hesitate, and there is a strong hope in the custom house that this case will have deterrent effect on other Atlantic voyagers who might 1, try to save money at the expense of i Uncle Sam

FOR FEMININE wEARERs.
variouG AdJuncts of Dress Whicb Lend Tone to the Costumes of
 the Season.

An extreme effect in millinery gar nitnre, is the use of radishes of velvet. as well as fruits, berries and flowers of the isanae material, reports the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Beautiful buttons and buckles adorn the soft ceintures wkach, to a considerable extent are superseding the stiff waistband.
 Flat buttons about the size of a nickel are much in evidence for trim ming purposes. They are of ordinary pearl and the smoked variety, and of silk and velvet, plain or embroi- dcred in ponpadour design.
 Triple or double shoulder capes ap- pear on the largest gowns for indoor wear.
 ..sss s Narrow cords and tassels, some times in a darker tone than the gown, again presenting an artistic contrast, or in gold or silver thread are the decorations most frequently seen on autumn costumes.
 Ribbons that shade from bright green to deep blue make up admira- bly, into rosettes that may be used for the ornamentation of dark-toned gowns or hats.
 Flat rosettes resembling a coach mans cockade trim some of the new est turbans. Tn the center of these rosettes is placed fancy paste but ton or other ornament.
 Gimp ornaments and trimmings are much used in combination with as trachan and other furs. a sToques and large hats of royal blue velvet are trimmed with baby lamb and Persian lamb, while ermine tails and bands decorate hats of black velvet, moire and white lace.
 Swiss embroidery in self color rep fesents the newest trimming for silk underskirts.
 Nasturtium tints, the glowing orange, red and yellow tones, are designated that are so conspicuous in Inodish millinery and dress gar nitnre.
 A novelty for the ping-pong girl is chatelaine watch in the form of 2 ping pong racquet of sterling silver.
 Card cases of canvas embroidered with silk floss in colors harmonizing with the gown are said to be very popular in England.
 The prettiest designs in neckwear are all adorned with French knots.
 Gowns of chenille draped over black chiffon and fine black lace are among the original models of the season. As accomplishments are wraps composed entirely of chenille fringe.
 In the newest of embroidered hose the flowers are not distributed care lessly over the surface, but form some particular design such as bow knot, heart or monogram, placed over the instep.

.oecupatsona and Color of Hair.

An unusual proportion of men with dark. straight hair enter the minis try; red-whiskered men are apt to be given to sporting and horsefesh; i; while the tall. vigorous, blonde man, Iineal descendant of the Vikings, still contributes a large contingent to travellers and emigrants. = Detroit News-Tribune.

MoRocco's REVOLUTION.
Pretender Fighting to Put Su1tan's
 Brother In Power.

Pretender Fighting to Put Su1tan's
 Brother In Power.
 TANGIER, Morocco, Jan. 3.-The pretender has issued proclamation an nouncing that he is not fighting for the throne for himself, but for the sultan's imprisoned brother, Mulai Mohammed, surnamed the 'One Eyed"
 It Is now confirmed that the sultan has ordered his brothers release and that the honors of his rank be paid to him.
 The governor at a recent conference with the Kabyle chiefs pointed out to them that they were responsible for the safety of the roads running through their territory.
 Telegrams received from Gran, Age ria, announce that detachments of zou- ayes (French troops) have been ordered to the Moorish frontier.
 The Spanish sloop-of- war Infanta Is- abel has arrived here.
 The Portuguese cruiser Rainha Anne Tia also arrived here during the day.
 Advices from Fez have been received here. Guns are being mounted on the walls for the defense of the city, but the rebels remain inactive. They have not sufficient supplies for expeditions from their headquarters
 The city of Fez continues quiet, but the dearness of food is causing discon. tent
 If the situation becomes more grave, the sultan will abandon the capital, re- tire to Rabat and summon the border tribes to a holy war. The sultan will then proclaim himself shereef and de- fender of Islam, renounce all European leanings and then at the head of new forces attempt to retake Fez.
