The REPAIRS OF TIE OUTLET LoCKs.-Tha
repair OF the outlet lock of the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal at the mouth Of Rock Greek has
been commenced by using d living bells. AL the
work Is done under water, and the workman re-
mains beneath the water about four hours each
day. This plan was thought 70 be less eNpen-
siye than driving piles and pumping the water
out.
CONTRACT AWARDgD.-The contract for the
iron railing around the Post Office department
has been awarded to our young tewnsmen, the
Robinson Bros. They competed with seven
other firms.
THE ODORLEss COMPANY-Mr. May, who
lives in Market Space, lOd ged a complaint with
Justice Buckley this morning against the OiOr.
less ExcavatiDg company for neglecting to at
tend 10 his premises after the usual notice. The
justice requested him TO deposit the amount OF
money required with him, saying he woald see
the order carried out.
GRAIN TRADE.-The canal boat Hattie and
Bessie arrived to- day with 1900 bushels wheat,
500 bushels millfeed, and los barrels -four Tor
Hartley & Bro, and II. NJ. Talbot received SO
bushels wheat by rail. The sales yesterday
afternoon and to-day were 1850 bushels wheat,

A Coal MINE on FIBE.--For some time past
th0us9 nds Of persons have been attracted TO
Wl!kesbarre, Pa, By the unusual spectacle OF a
burning cCal-miEe. The mine in question il
about mile from the city, and the scene about
the air-shaft, at the bottom of which was placed
the engine that set fire to the coal Is one OF ut
ter desolatiOn, the earth for eight or ten acres
in area having sunk from 10 to 20 feet and
cracked Olen In many places, from which col
umns OF smoke, steam and suffOcating gas are
constantly issuing. The trees and grass are all
withered and scOrched, the earth having been
nearly red-hot during its fercest burning. The
place looks ike the crater OF an extinct Volcano
from whose ragged edge immense cracks radi-
ate for several hundred feet in every direction
while strata of the hardest rock are snapped of
as II they were only pie-crust. AS the fire
below burns away the support, the sur
who venture near the crater and creyices
carry their lives in their hands, though no life
has yet been lost. About 40 rods from the burp.
iDg shaft is one that the FIRE has not reached
and from the bottom OF this visitors are treated
TO vivid representation of the lake of fire and
birthstone, for here are whole acres OF glowing
coal. The suppressed roar of the fire sounds
like distant waterfall. No smoke or flame
arises from this mass, except lambert blue
blaze, that leaps up at ftful intervals and dies
out as soon as formed. A large force of labor
eTs has been employed for weeks dumping earth
into those assures through which the fire is sup
piled with air, many thousand wheelbarrOw
loads having been USED for this purpose, and on
the north side of the mine cars are loaded at
the place OF excavation, run on trestllng to an
opening where il is dumped down a shute, and
then taken on other cars to where a high en-
bankment is building to stop the fire in that d-
rectiOn. AS soon as the access OF air is COM
pletely stopped, the fire will gradually 20 out.
and work will be resumed at the neighooring
shafts.

AL e IA ND RIA,

CoRONER's IEQURsr.-It was mentioned in
Yesterdays Gazstte that a son of Mr.. Charles
Cox, proprietor of the Railroad hotel, had been
missing since Monday night, and tn at his friends
were anxious about him. Early this morning
his dead body was found floating in the dock At
the loot OF King street. A coroner's inquest was
held upon it by Justice Padgett, and, after an
examination by DIR. French, the jurv-tbe fore
man of which was \. G. Kell-rendered a YER
DICT or death by drowning, from causes un-
known. The deceased was young man who
had but lately completed his apprenticeship as
brtcklayer, and had worked for Mr.. Clark all
OF Monday, paving Columbus street. He was
last seen late that night, and is supposed to
have fallen overheard while looking for a boat
in which he was accustomed to go out upon the
river. Mr.. Cox had the remains taken TO his
home, from whence they were Inferred at !
o'clock this afternoon.
DAMAGE To THE NEW RESRRVOIR.-The late
rain has caused some damage to the new reser-
VoIr Of the Alexandria water works. An in
speetion of that reservoir this morning showed
that a slide OF some extent had occurred on
Its north wall. and will, it is thought, necessi-
tate lining OF the whole interior surface OF the
reservoir with bricks or making it secure by
np-rapping.
SETTLERs.-More settlers arrived here this
morning. They come from Green Bay, Wis
and from Iowa. They are to occupy lands sold
them through the agency OF Green * Wise, OF
THIS city, and re Port that they bat the fore
runners OF a numerous immigration to set in
later il the fall.
SHoT.-Duripg the last two or three DAYS.
two young men, james Dove and Geo. Siss0n,
have been accidentally shot while hunting in
the marsh back of the city eravey8rds by other
parties who were shooting in the same marsh.
Though shot in the head they were, fortunately,
Lot injured seve ely.

son street, between Lee and Fairfax, near Bat
