A Coal Mine Shaft.

A mile or two from Pottsville, says a
newspaper correspondent, is the chief
coal shaft of this region, owned by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company, and named the Pottsvllle Shaft.
Though opened only few years ago, 1t IS
famous throughout this whole country for
the completeness Of its machinery, its ex'
traordinary depth, and the light shed by
it on the shape and direction Of the strata
below. The perpendicular depth OF the
shaft is l,575 feet-as am told. the deep
est coal mine on the continent. From its
vast depths. almost third OF a mile down,
two hundred cars holding about four tons
each are lifted each day The cars are run
upon platform and then the whole
weight of say six tons hoisted Mt speed
that makes the head swim. The time oc-
cupied in lifting full car and in letting
down an empty one, through distance OF
about one-third of mile is little more
than minute and quarter few fg'
ures will show that the cars pass up and
down at the rate of about mile IN touf
minutes. fifteen miles an hour, or say, the
ordinary velocity of freigh tram on a
surface track. Standing on one OF the
levels, 1000 feet down, the cars snap
past, upward and down, with speed SC
great that the human eye scarcely sees
them pass.
The Belgian engine which does this M
ing is beautiful piece OF mechanism, win
its drum twenty feet in diameter, and III
wire rope which has thickness OF tw'
inches, coiled around center OF heml
that allows nicer adjustment OF the wlrei
when stretched by use. The dramatic
figure Of the engine room is the engineer
a man picked for his skill, his steadinesl
and sobriety. Day after day tbroughou
the year the fate of every miner hangs OF
his nerve and steadiast attention to duty
Monotony must not make him careless
the strain OF responsibility must not wear
him; his eye must be quick for the signal
far down in the mine, his hand must b.

oner j. +. Mace with neglect in fully per-
mitting a train to collide with an embank-
ment at Tehachapi on the Goth of January,
resulting in the death Of several passen-
gers, commenced here to-day. The
prosecution was represented by N. r.
Wilkinson, District Attorney J. W. Wee
mar and Judge Wilkinson. For the de-
Tense there appeared P. D. Wigginton and
Associate Wallace Leach. There are a
large number Of witnesses to be examined,
and the trial will probably last several
days. B.. F. Whitmer and P. D. Green
were examined at much length in regard
to the railroad disaster, when Court was
adjourned until 10 A. NJ. tomorrow.
BAKERSFIELD, Feb. l3.-On opening the
Court this morning counsel for the de-
PENDANTS moved a dismissal, on the ground
that the evidence was not sufficient to
establish a criminal charge. Overruled.
Conductor Reed took the stand, but there
was nothing specially new in his testi-
mony. He mentioned seeing the bodies
of tramps about the wreck, who were not
on the train before its reaching Tehachapi.
He thought three minutes had not elapsed
between entering the station at Tehachapi

A Tornado Yarn.

The recent cyclone that did such
destructive work in Mississippi, has
afforded golden opportunity for
the ever ready and unterrified liar
to get in some tall work. This is a
specimen of one of the yarns that
prevaricating geniOus has put in
CIRCULATION:
During the recent Mississippi cy-
clone, a mule and a fence-rail went
up among the clouds in company.
The mule came down first aud lam
ded ON his back. Rail followed,
and, striking the stomach of the
mule, not only went through the
animal, but two feet into the ground
besides.
Now don't everybody who has
the slightest acquaintance with the
nature and habits of a mule, know
if that asinO-equine quadruped
hadn't kicked the very bottom out
OF the tornado itself, he would have
made tooth-picks out of the fence
rail before it ever touched him. The
story is lacking in ingenuity and is
not faithful to nature. The success
full writer of fiction must get thor
oughly acquainted with his subject
before he writes about it. We sup
pose this storm-artist didn't like the
risk of getting acquainted with
mule. His next production should
be in regard to something he knows
more about.

THE RAILROAD.

The town of Princeton, KY,
seems indispOsed to assist in build
ing the new railroad. The people
of that city demand concessions in
their favor that the Gordon syndi-
cate is not willing to make, and it
is probable that the road will be
pushed to some other point on the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. We
are not disposed to argue with the
people of Princeton; they know
their own interest and can govern
their actions accordingly. The
same may be said OF the people of
GAINESVILLE and that is what they
propose to do; i. e., act in the mat
ter according to the best interest
of this city.
1t could be of no possible advan-
tage to GAINESVILLE that the road
should go to Princeton. To the re-
verse the interest of this city and
the road might be better served by
running it more directly through
the coal regions.
The proposition of the GOrdons
was to run the road TO some point
north of GAINESVILLE on the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad. Two-thirds
of the sum required for that pur-
pose, as has been previously stated,
has been raised in GAINESVILLE, and
Montgomery county, and the re-
manning one-third will be subscribed
here rather than that the road shall
fail. We believe, however, that it
will be an easy matter to get this
balance along the line of the road
in Kentucky. That much ought to
be done certainly since GAINESVILLE
has come up so freely with the ma
jOr portion of the fund.
Major Gordon has written to gen.
tlemen in this place saying that sur
veyors would soon be put to work
on the road. When the survey is
made the point of intersection with
the Cherapeaks & Ohio will, OF
course, be determined on. That
point is not likely to be Princeton
unless the people OF that city come
down with the cash speedily and
handsomely.

The Outlook IN New York.
New York Sun.


The legislature having adjourned,
and both parties having made their
record, they are now watching the
drift of the current. A few facts
shed light on the situation.
Since the Fremont campaign,
with the exception of the Greeley
episode, the party which carried
New York in the year previous to
the presidential election has always
carried the State in the following
national contest. According to the
precedents, therefore. the election
next fall will have an important
bearing on the approaching presi-
dental struggle, when New York
may again be the pivotal State, as
it was in 1880.
Just at this juncture In New York
politics each party seems to be re-
lying for success to some extent
upon the divisions In the ranks OF
its opponents. The quarrels be-
tween stalWarts and half-breeds
give comfort to the dem ocrats,
while the chronic Tammany trOub-
lesaffOrd consolation to the republi-
cans.
But neither party must reckon
too much upon the discussions of its
antagonist. A great number of
ofiicers are to be chosen in Novem-
Der, and a judicious distribution of
candidates among warning factions
has often proved a wonderful har-
monizer on the approach of New
York election. Therefore there may
be a full vote cast this fall, and a
fair trial of strength between the |
democrats and republicans. It Is
we'll remembered that under ordi-
nary circumstance New York has
been a close, doubtful State for the
mast twenty-eight years.

THEIR LITTLE GAME.

Is il not probable that Grant and
ConkIing are working little game
that has for its end the restoration
of the Stalwarts Ia power? While
the latter is posing before the coun-
try as an offended and outraged
statesman, and pointing out the
disastrous effects of Grants over
throw, the former is taking the lead
in Mexican affairs and seeking to
cement the social and political rela-
tions of the wo republics. Have
these two positions any connec-
ton or political significance? To
the casual observer they appear
widely divergent, but a closer in
spection seems to indicate that they
are dOvetailed into one another,
and for the probable purpose init
mated in the opening sentence of
this article.
In the first place it is not cOnsis-
tent with Grants nature to suppose
that he gave up hoping for third
term with his Chicago defeat. He
is not of disposition given to dis
pair, it was his persistency that won
his victories and brought him sue
cess in war. Like all military he
roes Grant dreams of empire and
thinks the acquisition of territory
brings honor to the nation. He
will work up the development of
Mexico, pave the way for its annex
alton to the United States, and in
this way bring himself before the
country that no longer reverences
the hero of Appomatox. In the
meantime COnkling is showing that
the country has already been set
back ten years because Grant is not
its President. and bemoaning the
disaster that has come to republic
canism from the success of the half
breeds. 1t may be taken for grant
ed that Conkling does not wish to
ruin the Republican party. He is
not sampson 10 crush nlInSelI De-
meath the weight of this mighty
temple that he has the power to de-
stroy. Death to the Republican
party means death to COnkling, and
brushes all of his political hopes.
He has political hopes and expects
yet to take an important part in
controlling the affairs of the nation,
he can expect nothing from the half
breeds any more than he can from
the Democrats, and Stalwartism
must be revived before hecan come
again into public life. This is the
little game that Grant and Conkling
are probably playing. 1t is a des-
perate game, but COnkling is vain
enough to believe he can make it a
success, and Grant has pluck enough
to undertake anything.
