Machine for Mining Coal.

An ingenious machine for cutting coal
in mining has been invented by MIR. f.
C. Chew, s%on-in-law of our fellow cltl-
Mr.. Edward Winsor. The object
of the invention is to save the hard labor
of undermining to get 4 fall, as it is
called in miners parlance. Ii this ma
chine should prove q success. and there
is no reason to doubt that il will, it will
revolntionize the business OF mining
coal and will prove 4 fortune to its orig
inator. The working model which he
has had on exhibition here is so simple.
and apparently SC perfect, that Mr..
Chew's success seems almost to be GER
tain. He has made all the necessary ar
rangements for securing a patent. The
following description, furnished us by
the inventor. is plain, and devoid OF
technicalities, so that 1t can be un'er-
stood by any one:
The machine consists of a frame two
feet wide by six feet long, made of angle
iron. Upon this frame is placed a double
engine. cylinders six by ten inches,
driven by compressed air; by means of
sp~ur-gearing motion is given to a re-
volving steel cutter. The machine
moves along the coal face on a track,
the inner rail having a rack, into which
a pinion, driven by the engine, works.
which keeps the machine up to its work.
The cutter is a circular steel plate,
three feet in diameter, having sixteen
crome steel teeth bolted to knuckle-
joints, and is supported by a plate secu-
red to a projecting frame. 1t makes a
cut three inches wide, and bears in I'M
der the coal two feet. When a cut has
been made, the coal is taken down and
sent out and the track,-(made in sec
tions)-is moved up to the new coal face
ready for the machine to pass back over
it, making a second cut.
The machine is intended for mines
worked on the long wall plan, having Il
continuous face of coal, and a sc
wherever a height of twenty inches can
be had from floor to top rock. The all
is compressed by the hoisting engine on
top, and is conducted down the shaft and
out to the coal face in three inch iron
tubes. At the coal face a flexible rubber
hose Is attached, which keeps the engine
supplied with compressed air as the ma,
chine moves along the coal face.
The men necessary to run the machine
are an engineer, and a boy, to look after
the hose and sprag up the coal as it is
undermined, so that it can't fall till it i;
wanted. When the weight comes on the
coal it will come down as Dor as the
sprays are taken out, thus avoiding the
work of wedging it down. Hands are
then set to work loading the coalin box
es, which are sent to the wheel roads OF
the track used by the machine ant
thence to bottom of shaft.

Burglary and Robbery of Waverly,

The store of Messrs. Harris & Co.,
of Waverly, was broken open by burg
lars on last Saturday night, between 9
and 10 O'Clock. They got in through
an up stairs window, breaking some
iron cross bars with an AK. They took
all the fine goods in the house, such as
silks, dress goods, turs, &c, &c. The
robbery was discovered before it was
completed, by Messrs. Keys and Harris,
who took a lantern and examined Tor
traces of thieves, but for 4 while unslic-
cessfully. They were giving it up as a
bad job, when they saw q negro girl in
Mr.. Fletcher's coal house, and upon
closer inspection they found that she
Was sitting upon 4 lot OF sacks, which
had been stolen from the store. Upon
asking what she was doing there, she
said that she vas waiting for Bob. Smith,
and that she had been put there to watch
the goods which We're in and under the
sacks. She stated that she had been on
guard while the robbery was committed,
and made 4 clean breast Of the whole
matter, telling the m of all the
parties engaged in it. Besides Bob.
Smith she implicated Ed. Hall, Alex.
Compton and Ben. Jones, all colored.
After considerable search all these
parties were captured, excepting Jones,
who escaped and has not yet been heard
OF. The whole party had an examining
trial on Thursday before Esquire Hall,
who committed them to the county iail
to await the action of the next grand
jury. The value of the goods stolen
was about 81 900, all of which was re,
covered. The girls name is Belle
Walker; she is about fourteen years o
age. The others are middle aget
negroes. They are old denizens u
Wayerly.

In view of this fact, the st. Louis, Kansas
City and Northern Railway is preparing q
schedule of rates which, in all probability.
Will be lower than ever before made be-
tween the New West and the East. This Is
positively the shortest line between the New
West and all points East and South. 1t is the
only line west OF the Mississippi river which
has introduced all modern improvements for
the safety and comfort of Its patrons, such
~ the Westinghouse Improved Automatic

This is the only line running Pullman
