Hazleton Penn., special: On Monday night tlw suppuruug p.liars tn the Beaver brook Mine began to give way and tbe ten us Audenru-d. which is built imur-d.-ately over it. was thrown into a state of ; w ildest excitement. Tbe gangways of the | mine ar*- 600 leet below the surface, and a i total col!a|<se meant the complete destruction of the town. Tbe people w ere warned of tbeir per;! by fissures and openings which appeared in tbe earth between the htAel and company store and immediately ' beneath the Louses of the must prominent townspeople, several buddings <areen»d to one side, throwing tbe occupants from I tfieir beds. Tbe possibility of being burp-d alive was too horrible to contemplate. People vent < frantic, and pandemonium reigned throughout the town. The ojieainf in the earth continued to become wider and more numerous, and a total coiiajwe wa. momentarily looked for. Tbe internal disturbance continued all Bight, but tbe crash . did not come. The people '.amjied m the meadow a safe distance from ttie coal veto s j outerop.

Th.-d.sturba.rice j ha* not yet ceased, and the- greatest excite- I meat prevail*. WIDESPREAD. from Every Part Come Ttdinp. of Buaiae« Prosperity. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: “ft is no longer a question whettier business improves. Not for a long time have our reports from all parts of tiie countrybeen so uniformly favorable. The daily average of bank clearing* in June is 24.6 > per cent, lorger than last year, though 11.4 i per cent, fess than in 18S2. The most potent influence has been the receipt of j more faiorabie advices regarding grow ing crops. Even official statements helped, br-cause altogether less gloomy than pre- I vious rumors. Labor troubles are getting j out of tbe way. wages in many establishment* are rising, and witli the iron industry just now leading, there is general improviment in manufacture*. Monetary condition* also help. Tbe tune draw* near ; when, with g<x>d crops, exports will bring gold hitiser. and though foreign oiwrauoti* in stock* and bond* have been insigßtfc-an* dunng the week, the eff- t of pre-. ..,u» transaction* has not been exf-austed. Much diminished receipts of money from tbe interior indicate better employment in business, especially at tbe West, and tbe volume of commercial loans steadily rises, and is now fair for this season, even in a good year.” TOWS IS Kl lSs.

Tbe grocery is In a row of small frame building*, and despite the efforts of the firemen th- flames spread with unrelenting fury. The sparks flew in all directions and in a very few minutes Line street on Istth sides for a distance of a block and a half was in a sheet of flames. The citizens were in a fever ot excitement, as tbe entire town aeem -d doomed. The alarm was sounded and all occupants of the threatened buildings were rescued without the loss of a single life. The flames spread fast and furiously, and within a few hours thirty Line street business houses were re4iie t -l to ashes. The Grand Rapids and Indiana depot was burned, and all telegraphic communication cut off. The loss will reach IWO.OOO. A Man Afire. Wlui forked tongues of tire leaping iron every part of his body, his face livid with agony, while hundreds of people witnessed the man’s torture, Joseph Tumas, employed at tbe rolling mills, at East Chicago, Lake County, ran down the streets of that town, his clothing being a mass of flames. At every step Tumas cried aloud in his agony, and with the superhuman strength of a mad man fought off his fellow laborers, who attempted to stop him in his mad race for life. Exhausted at last and with pieces of cooked flesh dropping from his Ixrty. Tumas sank to the ground, and when assistance arrived nearly every V —tige of clopnng had l*-»-n burned from his body, while the smell of burning flesh filled the air.

President Mater and Secretary Dick of the Nxcbolsou anion, the organization of young church people to enforce the new Nichols-on saoon law, have been discharged by their •mployers, two prominent retail houses, and there is great excitement in temperince and church circles on account of it.

Dick's employer wanted him to r.gn a paper repudiating the policy of the anion, and when he refused to do so he was told that he wa* bet-aying the interests of his employer, who discharged him. The employer is a member of the Presbyterian Church and the official board of that church had a meeting to take action “regretting" his course.
