SETTLING OF THE SURFACE
NEAR BULL'S HEAD.
Double House of William Mills at
No. 1132 Thompson Streot Wns
Badly Wrocked by tho Sinking of
tho Surface-Marriage of Raymond
De Puo and Miss Margarot Jehu.
Ceremony Was Performed by Rev.
R. O. Roots at tho Parsonage.
Forsonal Notes.
Another serious settling of the sur
faco over tho workings ot the null's
Head Coal company occurred early
yesterday morning nnd caused greater
excitement than did either of the other
two enves of tho past two months.
This time, the disturbance reached Into
Thompson street oectlon, nnd Is evi
dently n continuation of the r-quecs-.e
which began showing1 Itself in that
direction three weeks ago.
Tho disturbed area of yesterday
covers a tract that Is fully two hun
dred feet Miunre. It is marked by
holes several font In depth und twenty
to thirty feet In diameter, and by fis
sures which extend In every direction,
and some of which gape several Inches.
The greater force of the cave yester
day morning seems centered about the
large new double house of William
Mills nt Xo, 1132, the first after pass
ing tho culm bank on tho right-hand
side of Thompson street, going west
from Xorth Main avenue. A depres
sion Is seen all around the house,
which has gone down nearly four feet,
with tho foundation wall si torn nnd
tumbled Into tho hole formed under the
building. The house Is somewhat tilted
to the east, and Its Interior Is badly
damaged, the floors' rind furnltmc hav
ing been covered by fallen plaster.
Tho house was occupied on tho one
side by Mr. Mills nnd his family, and
the other side was tenanted by A1irn
hani Wadevlllc. Roth families were
aroused from their slumbers by the
going down of the house and the crash
ing of the plaster about them. They
got out of the wrecked building as
quickly as they could, and during the
day moved their household effects
elsewhere. The damage to the Mills
property will not be much short of a
thousand dollars. The cave-In caught
the eastoily side of tho lot next ad
Joining on the west, and extends to the
gutter on tho southerly side of Thomp
son street, ami thence toward Main
avenue. A portion of the culm bank
extends on the caved section.
The mine Is operated by Messrs.
Tlurr & Whltford, who succeeded the
Providence Coal company In its leate
of the workings about a year ago.
A Protty Wedding.

by Rev. R. O. Reese.
They were attended by Henry O.

on unit street In the near future.
