made an effort to discover who the thief was. The
crowd was ''mum" as mice, and the Sergeant told
them that the culprit must be produced. However,
these Manayunkers wouldn't think OF doing such
thing as TO "squeal" one OF their number and seve-

A MYSTERY.

that mystic path was treading,
When the sun his rays was shedding,
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming thro' the
trees;
And watched the streamlet glistening,
AS entranced there was listening,
To the melting, merry music on the breeze;
When beneath q tree reclining
Where no ray of sun was shining,
Lo | saw afellow-being on the ground
Though no other feature shifted,
Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted,
Upward lifted as he wildly looked around.
Good friend, said l, approaching,
Do not charge me with encroaching,
Are you waiting for some messenger of news ?
But no other word he uttered,
And no other sentence muttered,
Save 500 to Simon Hilb's for Dry Goods,
Boots and Shoes
That's strange expression surely,
Said |, looking down demurely,
trust, good sir, the question you'll excuse
But he only looked the prouder,
AS he spoke the words the louder,
Go to Hilb's for all the Goods you use.
Why bless me, man shouted,
AS his sanity doubted,
IT'S surely naught to me what merchants goods
you buy.
But he only cried the higher,
With enthusiastic fire,
You'll save half your cash if Simo,. dilb YOU
So left him there reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,
And frequently | wondered at what the man
spoke in the woods
Thinking surely it was mystery,
And that some hidden history
Was weaving round myselfand Simon's goods,
So then resolved to try them,
Then couldn't help but buy them,
And, behold I've cause for gadness,
That the words deemed were Madness
Induced me thus to purchase my goods from
Simon Hilb.
So all will find the same cause for gladness who
call in time to secure some of the late barpains
lately received direct from New York.

Another Mining Horror in Penn
syIyania-Gaving in of a Coal
EEine--TWO Houses. with their
Occupants, Precipitated into
the Pit-LOss of Life.
MAuoH CHUNK, Pa, Dec 18.-At Stock
ton, two miles from Hazleton, about 5,
o'clock this morning, ths ground over mine
which has not been worked for fifteen years
gave way. One block of houses fell in SO
quickly that two families living in them had
40 time to get away, except one little girl,
who got out ofthe house, but not far enough
away to escape falling in. She fell on top
of the houses and was rescued. Three fami-
lies living in the adjoining block had just
time enough to get out before the whole
block fell in. Ten persons went down with
the houses, viz George Swank, wife and four
children, and Mr.. Reich, wife, child and
mother They are still in the mine, and
must certainly be dead-either burned,
smothered or drowned.
The Hazleton steam fire engine has been
throwing continual stream of water into the
hole since daylight to extinguish the flames.
The fremen are doing all they can. They
have taken charge, and extended rope
around the hole, allowing no persons inside.
Trains are running every hour from Halle
ton to the scene of the disaster, and will con-
tinue until the bodies are recovered, which
will not be for some time, as the ground is
cracked around for considerable distance,
and is still falling, SO that it is dangerous to
go to work. The excitement is very great
and is increasing. Families in the vicinity
are moving out Of their houses. 1t is the
general opinion that others will fall in =
There is also danger Of the ruins taking fire.
The mines are known as the East Sugar
Loaf Mines, and are owned by Messrs.
Lindermann 4 Skeer. Mr.. Asa Packer, Of
Mack Chunk, formerly owned them.
PorTsyILLE, December ia dispatch
to the Daily Journal, from Hazleton, says
the cause Of the accident at Hazleton was on
account Of working the breast in the colliery
too near the surface under the houses. there
being only about twenty feet space left
where they caved in. Only few days be-
fore, couple of persons in a truck were
pitched into similar hole, where founda-
ton of the railroad had given away over
some workings that approached too near the
surface.
