LANDSLIDE IN ENGLAND. COLLIERY OVERWHELMED. > THOUSANDS OF TONS OF DEBRIS (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received April 15, 11 a.m. LONDON, .April 14. Rumblings gave ample warning, and there was no loss of life, when the Tredgear mountain began to move at New Tredgear, in Monmouthshire. Only two officials and two horses were in the pit at the New Tredgear colliery when the landslide began. The officials were not long on the surface when rock and. earth overwhelmed the colliery offices, smashing the pit top and bending the iron girders like pins. The main road and railway were buried under thousands of tons of rock and debris. The mountain is still moving.
