WORK RESUMED AT
BELLEVUE WASHCRY
Burned Building Has Been Replaced
In Just Thirty-five Days Mass
Meetings Daily.
Tiue to Its announcement, the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western com
pany yesterday started up the Bellevue
vvashcry. All tho woodwoik was not
In place, but the plant was In shape
for opeintlon nnd the great need of
coal prompted a start nt the enrllest
possible moment.
The wnshery was de-tioyed by fire on
the night of Friday, August 1. While It
wns still burning, Superintendent Phil
lips set about the task of lepluelng It.
Otdlnnrlly It takes ninety days to build
a wnsheiy. Supeilntendent Phillips de
clared the wnshery would be rebuilt
inside of sixty days. Yesterday was
the thirty-fifth day since the 'flie. It
was August 8 before the first timber
was dellvcted on the ground. On thiee
of the four intervening Sundays work
was shut down. Twenty-five das were
actually spent In constiuctlon.
Tho company claims, It has Its old
force of forty men back at woik, and
that It could get many moie If It needed
them. This makes five wnsheiles the
company now has In operation.
Assistant Superintendent Tobey stated
yesterday that there is mining going on
at neai ly every one of the company's
twenty-four collleiles. At six of them
coal Is being hoisted and run thiough
the breakers. At tho others cool Is be
ing cut and loaded or set aside ready
for loading after the available cars are
all filled. AA'hen sufficient coal Is ready
for hoisting ot any place, the bleaker
will be started.
SoniP ot the miners now at work in
collleiles where the bieakers are In
operation are making small foi tunes.
One miner is given three, four or five
chambers, with a laboier for each
chamber nnd all the ens ho can 1111.
He simply attends to the blasting and
such other duties as only; a certificate
miner Is allowed under trie law to. do.
At one colliery In this dlstilct a num
ber of tockmen have turned in at min
ing and aie lecelving a fixed wage of
$12 a day. This, It is said, does not be
gin to compaie with the money being
made by some miners who me being
paid by the car.
The strikers' mass meetings continue
dally, and nil the leaders aie busy at
tending them, speaking woids of en
couiagement to the men, and urging
them to do all they can In the way of
making themselves self-supporting, so
as to tellpvo as much as possible thp
dinln on the union's treasury.
A big meeting was hold at Archbald
yesteiday afternoon and another at
Glen Lyon at tho same time. Secrelaiy
Dempsey, A'ice-President Ryscnvage
and Bonid Member Healey were among
the speakeis at Archbald. Piesldent
Nlcholls attended the Glen Lyon meet
ing. SUIT AGAINST 0. S W.
Allegation Is That It Caused the

George Pendred sued the New Yoik,
Ontaiio nnd AVestem Railway company
jesterday, to collect $1,900, the amount
of damage which he alleges has been

AT THE SWIMMING POOL.
Natntorium in the Thirteenth Regi
ment Armory Was Formally
Opened Ladt Night.
A large ciowd of .Interested specta
tors gatheted last night nt the Thir
teenth regiment's armory and watched
the Soldier boys make merry at tho
swimming pool. It was the formal
opening of the natatorlum, and the
membeis of Companies D and F ar
ranged a most Intel esting programme
of aquatlo spirts, In honor of the oc
casion. Lieutenant II. II. Ripple, ot Com
pany D, was leferee of the games and
geueial master of ceremonies. Shortly
after S o'clock, the enjoyment was
stalled, when a veiy quaint procession
of soldier boys paraded about the tank,
clothed in most outlandish costumes,
nnd after going thiough a series of gro
tesque movements, dove Into the water
and did some veiy clever swimming.
Lieutenant Bielg, of Company F, and
Regimental Sergeant Major Robert
A'ail were the two highest-ranked offi
cers in the procession. The latter was
attired In white trousers and coat, and
a high hut, while Bielg was In quast
mllltary uniform. Sergeant Ralph
Gicgory, of D, was also In seml-unl-foim,
and Sergeant Allison Kinsley, of
D, was attired much the same as Ser
geant A'ail. Private "Rusty" Connell,
of F, looked like a slwtpi.ing six-foot
woman, In his female make-up, and
Private Bartz, of F, chose a novel
swimming uttlre. In the form of a po
liceman's uniform.
Private Snyder, of D, masqueiaded
as a fiog, and Private Terry, also of
Captain Merilman's company, was
made up as a woman. Private Holvvlll,
ot F, wore a crash suit. Following the
parade, was a tub race, between AAr. H.
AVItheis and Pilvate Holvvlll, ot F. It
was easily won by the fotmer. Ser
geant Gregory nnd Pilvate Connell
gave a pietty exhibition of fancy div
ing and swimming under water, and an
exciting game of water polo then took
place.
It was between Companies D and F,
and the latter's lepresentatlves won
out by the scoie of 5-2. The teams
lined up as follows: F Brleg, goal;
Connell, center; Holvvlll, light forwaid;
Wartz, left forwaid; Ryan, center foi
waid. D Giegoiy, light forward;
A'ail, left foiwaid; Teny, center; Sny
der, right forward; Kinsley, goal Con
nel and BarU each scoied two goals
for the visitors, and Holvvlll scoied
once.
Gregory and Terry scored for D,
Some veiy pretty passing was done by
Gregoty, Connell and A'ail. Mis.
Comlskey, the lady swimming Instruc
tor, brought the exhibition to a cloe
by doing some clever diving and fancy
sw Imming.

MORE SETTLING
AT TRIPP PARK
ANOTHER SERIOUS CAVE-IN
EARLY YESTERDAY.
One Residence Sank Four Feet nnd
the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Tracks Were Depressed
from One to Six Feet for n Distance
of Fifty Yards Center of tho Dis
turbed Area Is Just Over the
"Foot" of the Old Tripp Slope.
Twenty-flve Acres Affected.
There was a further settling, yesters
day, ot the nbandoncd workings of the
old Tripp slope, and tho twenty-five
acres of Tripp park which weie so se
verely disturbed a. week ago, suffered
another collapse.
The greatest damage was done at the
enstern and western extremities of the
dlstnrbed dlstilct. Several houses near
the western end sunk thiee to live feet
and the Delaware, Lackawnnim and
AVestem tracks, on the eustern end,
were depressed for a distance of fifty
feet, the center of the depression hav
ing settled fully flvp foot. It appeared
from surface Indications Unit the work
ings which caved In last week settled
some more, yesteiday, and also that
new cave-Ins occurred along the edge
of the old.
The center of tho disturbance is In
the nelghboihood ot the Intersection of
Sumner avenue and Bulvver stipet, just
north of the culvert through which the
tiolley cats formerly ran beneath the
Delavvaip, Lncknvvannn and Western
tracks. The extent of the depression
Is most nppntcut on the inlhoad, wheio
tho telegiaph wires skirting the ioad
bed which weie foimerly nt the normal
height nbove the tracks, can now be
touched by a man with a cano. Seven
feet of filling was used to biing the
tracks to their proper level after last
week's cave, and six feet more had to
be put In yesterday.
THE CAA'E DISCOA'ERED.
It was 4 o'clock In tho morning when
jestcrdny's cave occtined. The watch
man who has been stationed there since
the last cave, qulcklv set the alarm
signals to halt till trains, and hastened
a message to the ofllce In Scianton.
Before daylight the company hnd
four trains and as many hundred men
lepnitlng the damage. The tracks were
raised with Jacks and blocked and till t,
clndeis, tultn and "bony," secuied from
wheiever It could be tho most quickly
gotten, were dumped Into the depres
sion until it was filled to the level of
the tiacks. Then u "hog" engine wns
tun to and fio over each track to pack
down the bed, and after this, the "nav
vies" tamped caith solidly about tho
ties.
Passenger tinin No 12, south bound,
at 6.30 a. m., was mil over the "sag,"
but with the, greatest of caution. All
other tiains, until 1 p. m wcte sent
aiound by way of Keyser Valley. By
night fall the tracks weie once mote
In n peifectly safe condition, but not
ns level and solid as they will yet bo
made.
The residence of William Farr, at tho
coiner of Sumner avenue and Eliza
beth street, has settled about four feet
and Is slightly out of plumb. The
lesldences of John Curtail and AV. D.
Edwards on Elizabeth street, and
Chailes Cooper on Bulvver stieet, have
also settled a few feet. All four houses
