afternoon George Ormrad, Superintendent
of the Kelley Run Colliery William
Hemmingary, inside boss Thomas Baird,
assistant James F. Jones, mining engin-
Ger Simon Gregory, inside boss of the old
slope of the colliery, and two carpenters
named Noise Beck and David Lingham,

putting. a door in the main battery and to
see what progress the steam which is being
injected into the mine was making on the
fire in the breasts. When the work for
the door was neatly completed fall of
earth occurred, causing concussion which
blew the men in all directions. Gregory
was killed, Olmrad had his leg broken and
Jones an ann, and all the others being Sc
yerely burned by the steam. Gregory's
body was blown a considerable distance
and has not been recovered, and the black
damp being SO bad that the miners cannot
venture far without being overcome by it.

Damage by Water.


RICHMOND, Va, August 31.-This city
was visited last night by one of the fiercest
storms ever known in this section. For
two hours rain fell in torrents accompan-
led by almost incessant thunder and light
ming. The rush of water in the streets
was so great that Shockee creek, in the
lower part of the city, was swollen to an
angry torrent, which overfowed its banks
and flooded the whole vicinity. Many
cellars were filed with water, and buildings
bordering on the creek inundated. The
occupants of the buildings were mostly
colored. The flood came upon them so
unexpectedly-they being awakened by the
rush of water into their houses that it
was with the greatest difficulty they wero
rescued. The scene in the neigborhood of
the swollen stream was terrible. Women
and children were seen at windows hold
ing lamps and screaming for help. The
night was pitch dark, and often cries were
heard from points where no one could be
seen. Men were wading about in the
water trying to save life while they saw
their worldly goods swept away.

Singular Conduct of a Woman.


William Emerich resides at the corner of
Liberty street and Myrtle avenue He is
moulder by trade works at the Steel
works, is married and the father of two
children, aged respectively three years and
eight months, the latter little one unwean-
ed. Yesterday morning he went to work
as usual aud last evening when he return
ed he was astounded to find his home lock-
ed, and his wife and family gone. On
entering the house he was more surprised
to find that some of the furniture was gone,
notably sewing machine, etc. He learn
ed from people in the vicinity that after be
had gone to work his wife had disposed of
the missing furniture, sent the oldest child
to her mothers home and the youngest
child to his mothers home, and borrowing
y trunk had packed in it some worldly
goods and lit out. She told some of the
neighbors she was going to Lancaster and
did not intend to return. The whole
affair is surrounded in mystery. Mr.. Emer-
ich says there is no reason for this strange
action. Mrs. Emerich's father started in
pursuit of the fugitive. The affair has
caused the greatest excitement in Liberty
street where the parties resided. Harris

We sometimes think that the lightning
trains on our principal railroads are run
at too high speed for safety, but facts have
recently come to light which serve to show
that in the matter of fast going we are
very much behind the English. Thus,
eight trains run daily from Kings Cross
to Grantham, 1861 miles, without stop
and without picking up water in 1zS and
l2S minutes each. Another accomplishes
73 miles in II minutes, or about 56SS
miles per hour. Mention is also made of
other quick trains, nearly all of which
throw the Americans completely in the
shade.
But this will not long be the case for our
great companies, not content with getting
along comfortably and safely at forty miles
an hour, are becoming envious of these
nmble wheeled engines and are putting
their energies to work for the purpose of
ascertaining whether they too cannot trans
port trains at the rate of mile a minute,
for one hundred miles or more at single
stretch. If this can be accomplished there
win be no lack of riders, for if there is
anything an American loves above all
others it is to go with lightning speed,
tven though every mile of track ridden
over is fraught with imminent danger
Look out now for trains that will cause the
quick moving English locomotives to hide
their diminished heads
