ROAD IMPASSABLE
FROM MINE CAVE-IN
Did Workings Settle Near Mnyfleld
Yard and Cause a Depression in
the Roadway Covering an Area of
Fifty Feet Water Pipe Burst and
Floods Into Erie Mine.
The vicinity of Mnyliclil yttiil. which
5s now celPlmited for its mine sot llinsf .
bud .'mother rnvf-In yesterday.
The depression this time Is near the
fitone residence, though It does tint af
fect this property. The settling extends
for about fifty I'eeL and involves the
whole roadway. The street car tracks
Hre also sunken, and it will take tons
upon tons of tilling to bolster tir the
roadbed.
The Uiive-in is about ten feet deep
nnd Is this dentil for the whole length
of the depression. The hole is chusni
like in its aspect, unrl it proved n
danger snot last nisht to drivers who
had not been warned of its presence.
Several of them drove into the hole, or
Mther dropped into it, nnd had close
rsi'iines from disaster.
What Is perhaps the most serious, Is
Hie burstiiifr of the supply pipes of the
Vonsolidated Water company. The
ivutcr thus lei loose found its way Into
'.he workings of the Ihie mine which
inderlie the affected area, ami save
the men who have charge of this wopk
;onslderable annoyance during; the af
ternoon and lasl nisht.
The cave-In of ycstcrdiiv hn been
filing- on steadily for abotil two weeks.
That is. it has been noticeable for that
length of time. The experience which
the residents of that vicinity have bud
with these settlings fills them with ap
prehension, and yesterday when the
drop took place their fenis were real
ised. The last cave-in made a sreat deal
of work for the Scrnnton Uailway com
pany, as il required nearly 100 tons of
earth to fill the hole. The depression
that exists now will require twice that
number of tons In make the road pass
able and place it in a condition of
wifety.
Mine settlings are nothing In this
vicinity. They have ,issed the stage
where they are considered as surpris
ing. The wrinkled surface of the earth
and the succession of depressions in
the adjoining Held speak lids fact more
strongly than the mere telling of II. In
all this section, the territory overlying'
the workings of the Krln Is unexampled
for depressions and veritable chasms,
the consequence of settlings or work
ings abandoned and otherwise.

ICE FORMATION BROKEN.
Large Cnkcs Break front the Mass
nnd Move Down the Stream Cel
lnrs Still Filled.
Fortunately for lb" lliooklyn street
residents, near the Uronklyu bridge, a
thaw enine yesterday, Instead of a
freeze, ami (lie mammoth Ice Hoc,
cake by cake, dropped away and set
tled further down llie stream near ihe
banks.
One solid formation in the runr of
Ihe store of Dennis Tonkin Is the only
real sign remaining of the blockade,
also the yard surrounding the store.
The lee afforded a grand sight to resi
dents nearby its It been mo detached
from the compact mass ami floated
down the stream.
Several men who endeavored to
start the lee moving had narrow es
capes from plunging In the water.
Probably by today the Ice will have
disappeared with the exception of the
vast iimnitni lit the lot surrounding
Ihe Toolnn store.
The water has nut yet disappeared
from the cellars, and In some yet re
mains to a depth of four feet or more.
The feeling still grows stronger that
the Hooding: was due to someone's ne
glect and It seems certain that the
matter of redress will be looked into
by the parties whose properties have
been damaged by the miniature Ice
blockade.
