Dam Wns Broken Inside the Mine nnd Workmen Had to Flee to Es capo Death by Drowning Water in n Creek Disappears, But a Neighboring Well Retains Its Con tentsOn One Lot tho Pitch of the Surface Wnb Reversed Mine Thrown Idle. One of the most extensive mine cuve 1ns ever recorded In the nnthmclte re gion occurred late Wednesday night In tho Sibley mine, owned nnd operated by Klllott. McClure & Co. Tho Sibley mine Is located on what Is known ns the Hack road, In Lacka wanna township, and Is iihnut two miles west from Jermyn & Co.'s stoie at Heudham. A number of settlings have occurred In the mine, but none of them have been so noticeable be fore ami this Is the first Instance, ns far ns is known that any property has be?n damnged. The settlings have practically rulnci tho frame dwelling house, fronting on the Hack road, which was occupied by Kugene Hengle nnd family, nnd the adjoining property, owned nnd occu pied by Oeorge K. Wade, Is also separ ated from Its foundation and damaged considerably. The Hengle family were about to retire for the night, when they heard a rumbling noise, which shook the house from its foundation. The father nnd mother hastily gathered up their three children nnd lied from the house to a place of safety. When they deemed It safe to make an Inves tigation, it was discovered that the foundation and the house had dropped several feet from Its original position, nnd large fissures were found nt var ious points In the yard, which were wide enough to Insert sticks three Inches wide. The ground adjoining the Heaglo house, which was originally on an in cline from the rear of tlie yard to the front, has dropped several fe?t at the center, while the earth from the front yard now slants towards the set tling, which Is the revers? of what It originally was. The house Is pitched clean out of plumb, and the foundation walls beneath it art cracked and ruined beyond repair. STOPPKI) THK CLOCK. The doors and windows In the build ing are all out of plate, nnd the paper on the walls Inside Is cracked and torn. A peculiar Incident In connection with thi occurrence Is that the dock In the Hengle house stopped lit 111.50 p. in., the time th" settlings occurred. The force of the fall broke the dam of water Inside the mines at that point, nnd the men on the night shift were compelled to lle- for their lives. One of the mules was caught In the I'.ood and Is supposed to have been drowned. The mine was Idle yester day, nnd the extent of the Inside work ings has not yet been determined. A fore? of men was put to work yes terday digging a trem-h alongside the Hengle house, through which Vhe com pany expects to reach the Hooded part of the mines and pump the water out. The place where the settling occurred was In abandoned workings, nnd the ground at that point has been con sidered unsafe for softie time. The settlings extend Sfar up the hill side behind the Heagle house, nnd at several points can be sjeu openings big enough to swallow up a horse nnd wagon easily. The surface vein inns out above the point of the pres ent cive-ln, and the coal has long ago been worked out there. In the front yard of the Heagle resi dence, several large cracks are notice nble, and the fence surrounding the lot Is all out of place by reason of the settlings. The front gate is several Inches out of plumb. Another peculiar tiling Is that the watr remains In. the well on the premises, while the water, which usually courses through a creek lunnlng between the Heagle and Wade houses, has disappeared. The holt on the inside of Heagle's side door wns broken off by the jar It received. IS HADLY TW1STKD. The foundation wall looks ns If a m.ixon had been at work with n sledge hammer, knocking holes In It. nnd the house has tho appearance of having been raised nt one end nnd lowered at the other. The supporting pillars In tlu cellar were knocked out of place. ami the linMiics extend through the cellar floor at various places. The Heagle family have vacated the premises and refuse to go hack, ns they are afraid ot additional settling. The Wade family arc away from home nnd ns the house Is all locked up the Interior damages could not be learned. The exteilor damage to the Wade property consists of cracks In the foun dation, which has settled several Inches at different places. The ground has nlso settled some, and the fences nnd barns on the rear of both lots hnve been damaged. In all probability the Heaglo house will havo to bo torn down. A large number of people visited the scene of the cave-In yesterday, and doubtless many more will go down mat way touny. operations nt the Sibley mine have been suspended as a result, and It Is not known now when they will resume.
