A dispatch dated Hyde Park, (scranton),
January 11th, says The perils ofthe mines
are not alone confined to those who struggle
for a living that compels them to delve in
the bowels of the earth. 1t generally un-
derstood that this entire eounty is under
mined, and the prospects of sudden drop
into subterranean oaverns are brilliant in
almost any portion Of the ,outlaying coun-
try about Scranton. Hyde Park rests upon
a shell from under which the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Company have
been mining coal for the past fifteen years.
Times teeth seems to cut as keenly under as
aboye ground, and the pillars left to support
the roof, gradually yielding TO the c5rrosion
Of years, collapse and the shells above the
excavated chambers drops through, taking
with it whatever has the misfortune TO be
built upon it. This place has again suffered
from the sinking Of the earth over the
worked chambers of the Oxford mine and
the consequences have been more than trsu-
ally damaging to several of our business
men and the residents in the section of the
town visited by the collapse. On Friday
evening Thomas McNicholas, merchant
doing business on the corner of Scranton
avenue and Chestnut street, found some
difficulty in closing his store doors. Being
acquainted with the nature of Hyde Park
real estate he concluded that his house was
warped by a sinking Of its foundations, and
propping up his DOORS shut them as best he
could, after which the family retired. The
building is three-story brick, substantially
built, and during the night further sink
ing occurred, SO that on Saturday morning
the walls were strongly de1ucted inward,
describing a pretty sharp arc. The door
and windOw-irames were twisted to such an
extent that the sashes were broken ard bent,
the bulk windows in front of the store were
eight inches "out of square," the glass was
shivered, the partitions were broken down
and the walls and ceiling were denuded Of
plaster. John 0'Ilara, another merchant in
the same neighborhood, will be compelled
to build new cellar under his former
building and dwelling house on Chestnut
street, which are sadly wrecked. A number
of handsome residences barely escape the
track of the "cave in" The wells and cis-
terms are without bottOms,and water promi-
ses TO be scarce article OH Chestnut street
and Scranton avenue. The loss will have
to be sustained by the unlucky owners of
the property, as n suit for damages is hard
ly likely to be profitable. One against the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Hudson Com
pany has now been dragging its slow length
along for nearly eight years.

-Weissport has been in a state of excite
ment for several days. Capt Solomon Yeak
ell, backed by some other citizens of this stad
town, has ventured to do that which will
finally result in making n great deal of un-
necessary trouble and expense. The parties
concerned are probably unaware of this SOL
emn fact, but time will tell the tale, and very
torcibly prove that the same is far from being z
delusiOn. Weissport's young men arc full
of indignation. Messrs. Behler and Kresge
constitute the party whom Capt Solomon has
had the intrepidity to attack, and the boys
are necessarily compelled to visit Mauch
Chunk, under very peculiar circumstances.
The story concerning the racket has come
from OmcifI sources, and is known to most
eYerybody who has had the good fortune to

fading tornado. Rum0r has it there will be
great deal OF amusement for amateurs, and

A Carpet Shaking Machine.

The agent who sold Mrs. Peters the
Columbia carpet shaking machine ex-
plaiued TO her the way in which 1t
worked. The machine consisted OF a
large wire-gIuze cylinder, in which
carpet could be placed and which was
revolved at a high speed by clock-work.
Within the cylinder was collection OF
fails an0 brushes, which when put in
motion by its revolution, throughly
beat and swept the carpet. The agent
asserted that his machine would thor
oughly remove all dust and extraneous
substances from the texture OF the car
pet, would destroy moths and other
deleterious insects. and would impart
beautiful glcss to the snrfsce of any car
pet, rug or blanket that might be sub
mitted to its action. When he had
tested its effect upon the parlor carpet
Mrs. Peters was so charmed that she
bought the machine ON the spot, and as
soon as the agent had gone she took up
the dining-room carpet and put 1t on
the cylinder. For some reason the
machine could not be made 10 work,
and Mrs. Peters, thinging that there
must be something wrong, took out the
carpet and crept into the cylinder in
order to see If any of the fails or
brushes were out of order. Suddenly
and without the least warning. the dia-
bolical machine began TO work. The
cylinder revolved with tremendous
rapiditv, and the fails and brushes did
their whole duty. The machine could
\ be stopped until the clock-work,
had run down, and the agent had war
ranted it to run for twenty minutes.
During that time the machine was busi-
ly occupied in remoy ng all dust and
extraneous substances from the texture
of Mrs. Peters, in destroying all moths
and other deleterious insects. and i'm
parting beautiful gloss to Mrs. Peters'
surface. In fact, it did everything
that the agent said il would do, hut
when, four weeks later, Mrs. Peters
WIS able to rise from her sick-bed, her
first act was to hire colored man to
cart the machine down to the COnnec-
ticut river and throw it into the deep
est available pool.
In spite of this impulsive and irrita-
bic conduct On the part of an other
wise estin'able lady, the Columbia car
pet shaking machine may prove TO be
all that its agent claims for il, and may
yet be a blessing to the housewife. If
women will have carpet shaken, it is
desirable that they shall be well shaken.
and If this machine really does meet
this want, it ought TO gain lasting
popularity among the earnest and care
ful housewives.
