The steamer FELTON,, On her return
trip from Pennsgrove last evening
with the Knights of st. Lawrence ey.
cursion on board, ran into the southern
approach of Third street bridge and
damaged the bridge to such an eytenl
that it will take several days to repair
il. The piling and other timbers were
badly damaged, and the . tire an.
proaCh badly wrecked, while the wheel
house and joiner work of the boat were
stove in and torn away. When the
boat struck the bridge q loud crash
was heard, which caused "A panic on
board
Men ran hither and thither, while
women and children screamed, and
quite a number tainted. Others thought
their time had come and fell on their
knees in supplication to the Almighty
for the forgiveness Of their sins. At.

boat promptly notified the passengers
to have no fears, rs there was no danger

The boat struck the bridge near tie

a loss on Mr.. Reynolds. The boy was
taken charge of by Mr.. Reynolds and
conveyed to the Malta House, where his
injuries were attended to.
After the excitement subsidized tile

boat into the bridge. The boat was
running at slow rate of speed when
the accident occurred, otherwise it
might not have happened, for, as Is
stated by some, if she had been running
at a greater speed the wind would not
have driven her in.

AnthracItes for Three Hundred
Years.

The following interesting figures, in
dicating the length of the time the an
thracite coal supply of Pennsylvania
may be expected to last, have Just been
compiled and made public. The total
anthracite area before mining com
nenced was 10000 square miles.
Allowing 1000 tins to the acre, a foot
in depth, would give 32O, 600, 900 tons
Assuming that the depth average 80
i"et, it gives grand total Of $500, ,OOO,-
COO tons. At the present time the con-
sumption averages about 10000, 900 a
year. So II will be seen that at the com.
mencelnent of mining operations the
supply was sufficient for three hundred
and twenty years. About sos, 200 tons,
on about seventeen years supply have
been mined, leaving sufficient tosupply
rh" demand for three hundred years to
| come.
