A gang of men and boys who were at
work in the same mine beyond the fall
encountered a flooded dip" or depression
in vein in making their way out by cir
cuitous routes, and had to swim from
one rise to the other. No one below the
ground, however, sustained any injury.

The settling started In the street just
In front Of the hotel property The brick
street pavement was seen to be working,
and the telegraph poles and trees along
the curb were noticed to be webbing. The
cause was at once apparent, and the
alarm given to all the neighborhood. Two
sick guests were removed from the hotel
and taken two blocks away to private
house. Some attempt was made at saving
the contents of the buildings but the rap
idly increasing size of the opening in the
street put q stop to this, and every one
fed from the neighborhood- Twenty min
utes after the disturbance was first no
t1ced, the opening had widened until it
reached all the way across the street.
Then, with terrific crash, the hotel

and landed on its roof in the bottom Of

double dwelling Of Mrs. Evanss fell over
the edge, and demolished itself on the
ruins of the hotel The AckerIy dwell

Tonight, it Is confidently believed that
there will be no further settling. but no
one went to bed within fifty yards of tho

estimated at $4,000.

WAR HERO PUT TO FLIGHT.
General Jake Smith Fled Before An
Onslaught of Newsboys.

ST. LOUIS, January 2.-(speciaL)-
''Hell-Roarlng jake Smith, famed war
rior Of Samar. was put to ignominious
flight by a crowd of newsboys, who had
assembled at the Jefferson club. for their
regular new years gift. The club had
arranged to give a sweater to each news
boy in the city. The number had been
estimated at 5000, but nearly 1000 lads
appeared to claim the gift.
After 5000 sweaters had been distribute
ed, several hundred boys remained unsat-
isfied While arrangements were under
way to supply these, General Smith, es-
corted by Cashier w. H. Thompson, Of
the Boatmen's Bank, started from the
club house.
Instantly the Filipino fighter was sur
rounded by a bowling mob OF boys. who
thought Smith was the man who would
give them orders for more sweaters In
vain the warrior shouted expostulations
and tried to explain. The boys were In
sistent. With difficulty Smith and Thomp-
son managed to retreat to the club house.

THINK THE MAINE A H0ODOO.
Impossible To Get Seamcn To Serve

Impossible To Get seamcn To Serve
On Her.
PHILADELPHIA, January 2-(Special)
1t had been expected that by this time
the new battleship Maine, which was put
into commission a week ago, would be
with Dewey's squadron. She must have
aboard more experienced seamen than
she has now. She must have GAO men.
and has only 400 now.
IT find that there are some seamen
who are superstitious, said Captain
Leutse, land they do not care to serve
on the Maine. Some consider the name
Maine a hoodoo, and that is why they
are not SO anxious to enlist.
Enlistments have practically stopped
since it was announced that the men
were wanted for the Maine.

A Tragic Wedding Ring.

A tragic story of a forgotten we'd
ding ring is told in the Lives Of the
Lindsays." He should have been at
when Colin Lindsay, the young
Earl of Balcarras, was quietly eat
ing his breakfast in nightgown and
slippers. Reminded that Mauritia Of
Nassau was waiting for him at the al
tar, he hurried to church, but forgot
the ring. A friend present gave him
one, which he, without looking at.
placed on the brides finger.
After the ceremony was over the
countess glanced at her hand and be-
held a grinning deaths head on her
ring. She tainted away, and the omen
made such an impression on her that
on recovering she declared she was
destined to die within a year, a present
fment thai probably brought about its
own fulfllment, for in a few months
the careless Colin was a widower.
