FATAL ACCIDENT. On Wednesday last,
John Monagan, miner, was instantly killed
In the Moshannon mine above Osceola, by
the falling of large mass of coal. About
three tous of coal fell upon him, crushing
him to death. 1t was a distressing scene,
when his mangled remains were carried out
OF the drift by his companions. Fortunate
ly be was unmarried, aud left no family TO
mourn his sudden departure. His body was
brought to Clearfeld on Thursday. and in
tered in the Catholic cemetery.
The miners calling is a dangerous one.
Delving in the bowels of the earth, by the
light of their little lamps, they are subject
to all kinds of accidents They ought to be
well compensated for their labor, so indis
pensible TO our comfort and to the success
ful progress OF all the arts of life.

The RESULT OF 4 TRIFLE.-A year or
more ago young man Of this city visited
New York, and in the course Of his sight
seeing with friend) called at one of the
theatres. Each left an overcoat in the
cloak room, taking checks therefor. The
Auburnian intended to leave for home that
night, and could not therefore remain until
the conclusion of the performance, and 30
left the theatre in considerable haste but
on putting his hand in his pocket for the
check for his coat, could not find it. He
requested the man in charge Of the cloak
room to give him his coat, which he point
ed out to him, without the check. This the
man refused to do. Time was precious !;
the time for the departure Of the train had
nearly arrived; 80 stepping into the room,
he took hold of his coat, and, partly by
force and partly by persuasion, prevailed
upon the man to release the coat. Throwing
the garment over his arm he fastened to
the depot, and succeeded in jumping On the
train as it was moving out Of the station.
He was a good deal surprised to see,
however, upon placing his oycrcoat on the
back of a seat, that it was not his oEn, bnt

metropolis. Arrived home, his first duty
was to telegraph to the manager OF the

IMPROVEMENT IN HEA"i L CAUSE.-THE
Pennsylvania Railroad c. Apany are about
to Introduce improved p,..erger cars on
their road, which are to t2ke the places Of
the ones now in use for the through trains.
The first Of twenty-four, which are now in
course of construction, was brought to this
city on Saturday from Altoona, and attract
ed much attention from road men and
others. The principal I'M Toyement con-
sists in the heating arrangement. There
are two stoves or heaters hung under the
floor Of the car, one at each side, from
which pipes are extended along the inside
at the angle formed by the floor and the
side of the car. These pipes are enclosed,
with a register to permit the escape of the
heat, which is thus evenly distributed at
the bottom of the car. The pipes extend
the whole length of the car, and the heat
first strikes about the feet, where it is usu-
ally most needed.
The temperature Of the car can be kept
much more regular by this system of heat
ing than by the ordinary stoves, which are
placed at the doors, and usually kept so
hot that no person can sit near them and be
comfortable. Another great advantage
claimed for this improvement IL that in
case of smaeh-up the stoves will readily
become detached from the car, and thus
prevent conhagration. The fuel is applied
from the outside, but the heaters are SO
constructed that they burn for several
hours without renewing. When filled at
Pittsburg they will not require further at
tention until the train reaches Altoona.
There is also an arrangement by which
cold air can be let into the car through the
bottom, and the ventilation is effected by
the same appliances therefore in use. The
interior of the car is very elegant, but there
is not much change in the style. The backs
of the seats are lower and heater in shape.
The absence Of the stoves and coal-boxes
adds to the appearance of things about the
doors. The window blinds are so arranged
as to cover the glass entirely, which is a
decided improvement on the three-quarter
shades now in use. Better light will be
furnished, as there are two chandeliers
one near each end of the car-arranged for
three candles each, making six lights in
stead of two. On the whole, the car is a
decided Improvement, and its advantages
will be duly appreciated by the travelling
public. 1t costs about $500 more than the
style of car now in use on the road.-PittS-
blwg Commercial.
