CAVE-IN AT COLUMBIA MINE.
Several Duryea Homes Destroyed
and Rnllrond Is Disturbed.
Special lo the Bcranton Tribune.
I'lttson, June 28. A serious nettling
of the old mine workings of the Colum
bia colliery nt the lower end of Dur
yea caused considerable excitement
and not a little damage In the village
last night. The cave-In occurred about
12 o'clock and was accompanied by a
loud rumbling noise which greatly
alarmed the people, who rushed from
their beds Into the streets. A tumor
that seven men were entombed In the
Hallste.ul mine spread quickly, but It
proved untrue. The men were at their
work, but the mine was not In the line
of the cave and was therefore not
effected. The area Included In the
squeeze Is about a quarter of a mile
long and a quarter of a mile wide,
extending from the Lackawanna river
westward to the old Hack road, and
from Just below the lienedlct home
stead .southward to below the Colum
bia breaker. In all the settled area
lurge and small cracks are numerous.
The most serious damage was done
on the west side of the Hack road,
where the following houses were In
a dlrct line of the cave, several large
cracks extending through the proper
ties and twisting the houses, knock
ing down chimneys and cracking the
cellar foundations: House owned and
occupied by Joseph Walsh; house own
ed iititl occupied by Mrs. Margaret
Fan ell; nlso one occupied by a Polish
family; house owned and occupied by
V. It. Junes, .badly damaged; house
owned bv V. It. Jones and occupied
by Michael Dunn; house owned by
Mrs. Thomas Owens, of Nnntlcoke,
and occupied bv Joseph Gordon. A
number of houses on the lower road
were twisted so that doora could not
be opened; a number of chimneys also
toppled over.
The 2C-lnch water main of the Spring
lirook Water company was broken in
five different places on the main street
and three places on the Pack road.
The tracks of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western railroad were dis
turbed for a distance of BOO feet, es
pecially a side track, the rails of which
were twisted and the track sunken
from four Inches to two feet. The
Lehigh Valley cut-off tracks were
also disturbed for a distance of about
1,000 feet, sinking from two to four
Inches. Tiatllc was not delayed on
cither road.
The Columbia colliery, whose work
ings cavcd-ln, Is nn old mine and has
been Idle for several months. The
Inside damage, therefore was not of
much concern. It Is thought the set
tling has ceased by today and no
further damage Is expected.
