Originnl Creators of "Virginius."
Hie liem.in tranedy of "VirBlnlm" was written

BIG CAVE-IN
AT THESIBLEY
TWO HOUSES BADLY DAMAGED
BY THE SETTLING.
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.

Yesterday was another great day In
The Tribune's Kducatlonal Contest.
Five of the leaders turned In points,
some of them doing exceptionally well,
(urfluld Anderson again werjt to third
place, which he now holds by 22 points,
and Frank Kemmerer advnnced from
tenth to ninth.
Meyer I.ewis drew ahead again,
more than doubling the lead he had
over Miss Oiillln In yesterday's pub
lished table. He Is now on his sev
enth century.
Less than a hundred polutH now
separate Miss Meredith from Mr.
Miles.
The Tribune's F.ducatlonnl Contest Is
nenrlng Its close. With only two days
Intervening, the Interest Is rapidly
growing k-en nnd the anxiety nmong
the contestants Is getting Intense.
Who will be the ones to reap the
special rewards of great value, nnd
who will full below eighth place are
(liiestlons that arc agitating not only
the young men nnd women them
selves, hut also their friends who hav
helped them so materially to accom
plish their highly laudlble objects.
From now on until tomorrow evening
nt 8 o'clock, the majority of the com
petitors will undoubtedly make hercu
lean efforts to Increase their scores,
so they may nt least hold the places
of which they are now In possession.
Tomorrow morning the standing of
the contestants will b published for
the last time. On Monday morning
