8 SEWS FKOMTO.KES CABBE A cave in at Pittston yesterday over the workings of the old Seneca colliery affected an area of about two acres, damaged some houses, but not severely end broke a water main. The miners had been robbing pillars and weakened the surface which during the night settled in some places as much as a foot. There are several fissures along the affected ground and the mine is still working. The scene is between Lambert and Parsonage streets. The store of Frank T.

Patterson Co. is in the middle of the affecied territory and the foundation is somewhat damaged and so are houses owned by W. Y. Toole. Sacks Brown, James Davis and William Feitz.

The people are still living in the houses, however, and it is not believed that there is any danger. A water main was cracked and broken by the dropping of the ground and the shutting off of the water supply compelled the closing of Galland's factory, as no water could be had to make steam. FIRE STILL RAGES. The fire raging in the Delaware mine of the D. H.

O. Co. at Hudson still continues to baffle the efforts of the men who for a week have fought to Eet it under control. Yesterday an additional force of men were employed, the whole number working in relays and the shifts being eight hours each. A line of water pipe has been laid on the surface from the shaft to the manway opening at Fox Hill, a dis tance of more than a mile.

Foweriui engines are pumping the water into the mine and it is directed on to the fire. Inside Foreman Caswell said yesterday it was difficult to tell when he would get control of the fire, which increases in size daily and which is destroying valuable coal property. The rock caved on each side of the flames renders it difficult to get near the affected area. A SMALL FIRE. The fire yesterday morning at the home of Andrew H.

McClintock, 44 South River street. A bottle of initammable material was knocked off a shelf and came in contact with a candle, being used by John Logan, a colored man, who was employed to do some work in a store ioo in the cellar. The damage amounted to $J00. The workman's overcoat was burn ed and Mr. McClintock told him to purchase another one and he would pay for it.

KILLED AT DVRTEA. Rollslaw Zaglarski, of Duryea. son of Valentine. Zaglarski, was instantly killed Wednesday afternoon at the William A. Connell mine at that place.

The deceased was in the act of loading a car of coal in his chamber when the roof fell in. He was aged IS years. OLD LADY DEAD. Mrs. Mary McCarthy, widow of the late Michael McCarthy, died yesterday morning of pneumonia at her home on Sherman street, aged about 70 years.

Interment at Hanover cemetery. L. W. B. STRIKE.

The Maxwell No. 20 and the South Wilkes Barre No. 5 colliery of the Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal company were idle yesterday and there is no evidence that the strike is near an end. At the office of the company the report was that there was no change in the situation and the men know of none either. There is some feeling among the men employed at the Ashley colliery about the boys there going out on strike without the tanction of the union, and without much of a grievance.

They compelled the shutting down of the mine and threw all the other workers idle. THE CHARITY BALL. The floor committee of the charity ball to be held in the armory on Dec. is as follows: Col. C.
