A GEOLOGICAL FREAK.
Wonderful Discovery in Coal Mine in Lack
awanna County, Pennsylvania.

w OnuertuI discovery IN q Coal MINE IN Lack
awanna County, Pennsylvania.
Archibald (Pa.l Letter in New York sun.
About two months ago the miners employed
by Jones, Simpson & Co. were driving heading
in the Ridge mines about mile from this
borough. They had worked about 600 feet
through the coal when blast blew out not only
coal but large stream of water and a quantity
of round stones. The miners were alarmed, and
ran away TO the opening After waiting half an
hour. they returned and found the stream of
water very small, but the round stones continued
to pour out. They supposed that there was a
fault in the coal seam and worked ahead, but the
round stones continued to pour out. After three
weeks work by four men, loading and carrying
away the round stones, gravel and loan made
their appearance. When they were removed
they found the daylight and circular chamber,
forty five feet from the surface cut through the
rock and stone, thirty feet in diameter.
l examined this geological wonder yesterday
from the surface and from the bottom 1t is in
the woods. with small holes at each side in the
course of a very small riVuet There are some
rocks thrown up five or six feet high about
twenty feet above it in the course of the stream.
From below you can see circular chamber
thirty feet in diameter and forty-ive feet in
height. The walls are nearly perpendicular (the
floor is rock and next the wall is six feet of coal
around. then the rock is sandstone 1t rises
thirty five feet high, and is covered by gravel,
loan and other alluvial deposit The stones are
all rounded, and occupy about twenty feet of the
chamber They are from six pounds in weight
to small pebbles In the lower part of the cave
round pieces of coal were mixed with the sand
stone pebbles.
The coal company intends to make an air hole
for ventilation of this chamber in which case it
would have to be filled up. This would be
source of grief to scientific men. Mr.. Lesley,
the State Geologist, says that there is only one
other such freak of the glacial period yet dis
covered. and that is in Luzerne, Switzerland. 1t
is to be hoped that it will be preserved natu-

Watertown, D. T., Oct. 11-There is no
the existence of small pox at

ing, and if care is not exercised this whole
section will be infected. At Brookings
the inhabitants, probably some who have
been exposed, visit the depot at train
time and mingle with the passengers
This should not be permitted. The rail-
road officials should take some steps to
protect passengers. The starting and
spreading of the disease is undoubtedly
due to the ignorance of the phys.
ician in charge of the first case.
There is considerable excitement in the
valley at Castlewood and Estelline, and
the people of Watertown are awakening
to the necessity of vaccination and
quarantine. If it is not done the plague
may become general along the North
western lines.
