MINING DANGERS.
Narrow Escape of FIhy-fye Men from Being
Roasted Alive In a Coal Mine-AlmOst n Re-
petition of the AvOndale Horror.


ROnsted Alive in n Coal NTlne-AlmOst n Re-
petition of the Avondale Horror.
PLYMOUTH, Pa, Dec 31.-There was nearly
repetition of the Avondale horror at this place
yesterday. At about 1890 A. M, the breaker of
the Nottingham mine, situated at the southern
end of the town, was discovered to be on fire.
There were fifty-five men in the mine at the
time, which is one of the man-traps like the
Avondale--one with but one outlet-yet, not
withstanding this, no notice was given to the
men below that the building above was on fire.
Fortunately, 1t was discovered soon after 1t
broke out and, with great eXertion, was not
only prevented from spreading, but was extin-
guished, the men below remaining all the while
in ignorance of their danger. The fire was the
result of gross carelessness on the part of the
company working it, 1t appears that two stoves
were kept in the breaker to give heat to the
boys employed there to pick out the slate from
the coal as it goes in the breaker, and the pipes
from these stoves were run directly through the
woodwork of the building without any protec-
tion. The result was what any sane man might
have expected. The woodwork heated until
it became of the consistency of tinder, and then
ignited.
At noon some of the men came up to dinner,
and, although every eXerton was made to keep
the fire from their knowledge, the fact leaked
out, and they became aware for the first time of
the terrible fate they had escaped. When they
went down again they informed the rest of the
men in the mine, and they at once got together
and held an indignation meeting, and resolved
at once to go up out of the mine. When they
got up they assembled the rest of the men be-
longing to the mine-in all about seventy-fve-
and held another meeting, resolving that they
would not again go down into the
mine until there was built two brick
chimneys for the stove-pipes, watchman
placed in the building night and day, and a bell
at the bottom of the shaft, SO that they should
have a signal when there was danger at the sur
face. Since that time the mine has not been
worked, and the men still remain firm. The
proprietors, Messrs. Thomas Brodrick tC Co.,
not being able to get any men to supply the
places Of their old hands, have yielded to their
demands so far as the two chilnneys are con-
cerned and their construction has commenced;
but they think one watchman in the night is
sufficient, and decline to place one there in the
day time. The men say that this only shows a
willingness to protect their own property, and
as their lives are exposed in the day time they
say they shall insist on the two watchmen, and
also on the alarm bell.

THE ROCKVILLE ROBBERY.
Over $4,000 StoIen--The Keys Taken from
the Treasurer,s House.

Over AlO,000 Hf0Ien-The KEYS Taken from
the Treasurer's House.
We find details OF the late daring bank robbery
in Connecticut in the Hartford Cotrdnt of De-
cember 30:--
During Tuesday night the savings bank in
Rockville was entered by burglars. The rob-
berry was unusually bold and daring. A visit
was first made to the residence of Mr.. l.. Bissel,
Treasurer of the bank, and from his pocket
keys were taken which gave the scamps ready
admission to the bank building and safe.
Though the burglars entered the sleeping apart
ment of Mr.. Bissell, they aroused no one in the
family, and it was not till morning that the
Treasurer knew anything of the affair, his at
tenton being first attracted by the removal of
his pants into another room. Upon going to the
bank, il was found that the burglars had done
their work in passably good order, and had left
of their tools only crowbar as a souvenir of
their visit. Proceeding from the bank with
their booty, they stole hand-car belonging to
the Rockville Branch Road and rode upon il as
far as the North Meadows, this side of the
BRIDGE where it was found dropped from the
track yesterday forenoon.
Investigation shows that the loss to the bank
is $1,000, the securities taken being as fol-
lows;-S6200 Five twenty bonds; two 5000
Indiana Central Railroad bonds; and two $1,000
Springfield, ILL.,, City bonds. reward of $500
has been offered by the Treasurer of the bank
for the recovery of the property, or proper
tional part of the reward will be paid for any
part returned.
1t has been ascertained that the burglars
three in number-iirst went to the shops of the
railroad company, where hand car was placed
in readiness, and after robbing the bank re-
turned there and assorted the papers they had
secured. They reached Vernon at about o'clock,
and were seen by the depot agent there, but he
supposed they were employees of .he road. In
getting from the branch track on to the main
track leading to this city, the car was carried
across just east of the depot. At 4'30 o'clock the
depot agent in Burnside, who was up, heard but
did net see the car pass, and noticed that it
was being driven at rapid rate, Every morn
ing at $50 o'clock road watchman leaves East
Hartford on hand-car, and, knowing this fact
probably, the burglars timed their movements
to avoid him. 1t is not certain, as at first sup
posed, that the thieves took the southcrly train
from this city; they may have gone north at 6
o'clock, or, as some suppose, have taken the
Providence train over the same ground of their
retreat, supposing that to be the safest route to
avoid suspicion and mislead.

place the money and let the matter drop. He said
no. she must give It up, or he would prosecute hec
for larceny. The Chief OF Police thereupon told him
he would then have to take her to South Carolina,
where the theft was committed. When charged
with the larceny the woman endeavored to interrupt
him, but he stopped her, saying to the officer, In a
woman, and has got her Irish up" 'And If am an
Irish woman" she replied, "you are an Englishman
acarpet-bagger, and John Brown raider" The
creature seemed disconnected by this reloinder but
when he finished his statements went OIL, as he said
in search of the United States Commissioner.
The woman then told her story. Originally from
Ireland, she went to South Carolina in 1851, met
Realfe, who was teaching negro school az Grau-
vile, in that State, and married her. Realle, she
said, was an Englishman by birth, but came away
from tnat country many years ago, and had lived in
one OF the Northern States prior TO the late war; IN
1859 he fell in with John Brown and took part with
him in the Harper's Ferry raid. When the plot
fell through he escaped. During the war he was in
the United States army, and at its close took up
school-tesching for livelihood. Some months ago
he was appointed Assistant-Revenue Assessor, and
when the money came in, made long and frequent
visits to Columbia, where, she ascertained, he had
three or four negro mstresses, upon whom he
squandered his salary.
Affairs eliminated in big quarrel on last Fri
day. at the conclusion OF which he ordered her to
leave his house forever As she got his back

and they travelled together After his arrival AT

and her refusing to give it up had her arrested
