A feet of eastern schooners are in

ton, though prices for all sorts of stuff
rule lower than at any time since the

made a great deal of money at the
business.
A large quantity Of jewelry stolen
from Mrs. Drummond, in the upper
part Of the city, last March, when bur-

SHENANDOAH, PA, January %. -
A serious cavern occurred under the
bed of the Shenandoah branch Of the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad just
south Of this place this morning. About
sixty-feet Of the road-bed sunk fully
two feet while a coal-train was pass
ing over it, and short time Afterwards
the surface dropped into the workings
below, the leading hole being upwards Of
seyenty-fye feet in diameter. A pas
senger-train containing nearly a hun
bred persons had passed over the place
but few minutes before. Traffic over
the road is suspended in consequence,
and the collieries in this section are
idle. 1t will take several days to fill
the breach and put the road in repair.

The Old Dominion Company's steam
ship Roanoke, Captain Couch, arrived
Yesterday morning at s O'Clock, and re-
ports the James river from Viewpoints
News to Dutch Gap free from any heavy
ice. From Dutch Gap the ice is bad in
some Of the bends Of the river. The
heaviest ice was found in the harbor
where the steamship Richmond had left
off breaking it after she had damaged
her propeller. From Clyde's wharf TO
the Old Dominion wharf the ice was
packed to six and ten feet thick. The
Roanoke was three hours in making the
short distance from the Clyde Line wharf

The steamship Richmond started for
New York after the Roanoke arrived,
and had not up to dusk yesterday eve-
ming passed out Of sight Of Richmond,
the drift ice from the upper river pack
ing in on her. The Roanoke will start
to-day, and the two together will fight
their way through after which it may
be confidently hoped that the river will
be cleared for ordinary navigation. Too
much praise cannot be given to the Old
Dominion Steamship Company and their
officers for their efforts in opening the
river for navigation. They have on
former occasions rendered valuable ser
vice to the city in this regard. The

and at once concluded that the man
was thief. The man started towards
Jefferson street and turned the cor
ner towards Broad, while Miss
Edith Allan rushed into DR.. Davis's
house, and in moment verified
her suspicious. The house was in a
state Of excitement at once, but Miss
Allan, not stopping, ran out and sent
her younger sister up to Jefferson,
while she ran to Adams street to watc h
for and follow the man. Her sister
lottie shouted, " lie has gone through
the alley when she Miss Edith ran
to intercept him on Adams. The man
ran out Of the alley before she got
there, pursued by the younger girl, and
he crossed the street and ran down the
alley from Adams towards Foushee,
pursued by the girls. lie then turned
in the undergrad back of W. r.
Thomas's carpenter-shop, when the
older Of the young ladies ran to Broad
street and thence to Gums lumber
yard, but had missed her man. She
there asked a gentleman if he had seen
such man, describing him. and while
talking saw him come out Of Thomas's
shop, but minus the basket and cloak.
She at once identified him, and asked
the gentleman to watch him while she
went back. In moment she came out
Of Thomas's shop with the cloak on her
arm--the thief finding himself pursued
having asked the man at work in the
shop to let him leave the cloak and
basket little while until he
should call for them. BY this
time the thief had reached Brook
avenue on Adams, but Miss Allan
espied him again and asked this gentle
man to keep an eye on him until po-
liceman could be seen to arrest him. She
then ran, with the cloak, back to DR.. Da-
vis's. and there telephoned Immediately
to Sergeant Epps at the Third station
house, describing the man and his do
iDgs. when this officer sent n detail of
police, and in few minutes afterwards
the man was safely lodged in the sta
tion-housc, where the charge was after
wards preferred by DR.. Davis, and the
prisoner is held for examination on
Monday morning.
The courage, perseverance, and pre-
sence Of mind Of the young lady is re-
markable in view Of the fact that she
is just recovering, after an illness OF
about four months, from an attack Of
malarial-fever. The robber turned out
to be a tramp, and gave the name of j.
W. Conway. He was arrested by Ser
geant Epps and Officer Barker.
