BIG CAVE-IN
THIS MORNING
Lehigh Valley Tracks Go
Down at Highland.
All Railroad Communication
Suspended Between Free
land and Wilkesbarre.
Large Area Affected.
At an early hour this morning a largo
cave-in occurred in No. 1 colliery, High
land, and the consequent disturbing of
the surface caused suspension of traffic
on the Lehigh Valley Railroad between
Freoland and Wilkesbarre. No trains
were run today over the affected part of
the road until 11.51 a. in., when the
north-bound possenger train passed
safely over the cave-in.
The workings of No. 1 Highland col
liery undermine the railroad tracks for
a considerable distance between Free
land and Highland. At the point where
the cave-in occurred this morning, near
the stripping at the intersection of the
Highland and Sandy Run turnpikes,
tho danger has been known to exist for
some time and a watchman has been
stationed at the spot.
The cave-in covers an area of several
acres. The ground under tho railroad
tracks settled about Ave feet, and at
some points the rails wore somewhat
twisted by the drop.
Early this morning the railroad com
pany set a large force of men at work
repairing tho breaks and raising the
tracks, and at 11.45 o'clock the damage
done had been overcome sufficiently to
permit tho train duo at 11.51 to pass
safely over the ground.
Tho northbound train leaving horo at
7.34 a. in. was taken off at Freoland,
and the ono due here from the upper
end at 9.30 o'clock was run from White
Haven via l'enn Haven.
The cave-in occurred at an hour when
the road is not being used, otherwise a
serious accident might bavo happened.
Will Not Change Name.
Over four hours wore taken up at yes
terday's session of the Irish Catholic
ilonevolont Union convention, at Ply
mouth, in a debate as to the changing
of the word Irish to international. It
was a light between the delegatus rep
resenting different sections of tho United
States. The New England representa
tives wort heartily in favor of this sub
stitution of names, while the Philadel
phia delegation were about evenly divid
ed on the matter. The motion to sub
stitute was defeated.
The time for holding the convention
was changed from annual to biennial.
Tho secretary's salary was reduced from
3500 to S4OO and the per capita tax, re
gardless of sex, was fixed at 10 cents.
The Anthracite Market.
Saward's Coal Trade Journal for this
week has tho following:
"With tho first of next month the last
of the 10 cent monthly advances in the
price of hard coal, as per tho plan laid
down in March last, will have taken
place. This will bring the prices up to
the rate prevailing in the spring of the
year, and the arrangement has proven a
good one to the trade In its entirety. It
is one of those old fashioned ideas which
is well worthy of revival.
"It is tho sheerest rubbish to talk of
'merciless coal barons' In connection
with the arrangement which has pre
vailed, and only those of little know
ledge or of limited experience in the
trade will do so, and give the press the
very erroneous Ideas of this industry,
which we find only too frequently.

FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 2-3, 1901.
"Prices of hard coal are better this
year than in many recent years. The
individual operator poses In the papers
and before his customers as an injured
individual. They are getting a good
thing out of the present hard coal trade
conditions. The new contracts have
been accepted, signed and delivered to
the operators. Tho 65 per cent con
tracts may be considered in full force,
and all that remains to be completed is
the settlement of the various amounts
due on the adjustment of the new
scale since last November.
"The bluffs put up in recent years by
those people proved successful, for the
reason that trade was in such condition
that concessions wore necessary. Rus
inass is now on a solid foundatiou."
