New Jersey whole forests have been
sunk beneath the water along the
coast, and email trees are yet growing
beneath 1t at this time"
Tonight the city is quiet, bnt the
people are yet sleeping out, not that
they fear another disastrous shock,
but because their houses sre unsafe
from Tuesdays shock. The gov.
eminent tents are expected tonight
and the people will have more COM
Portable quarters. Although it is now
impoesib q to make any approach to
accurate money estimate Of the prop
erty destroyed, it becomes palmer with
every days developments that the
blow is one from which the city will
not recover in many year. Although
but few buildings were absolutely
leveled to the ground, it is not ex-
tavagant to cay that fully two-thirds
OF all there are here will have to be
either torn down aud entirely rebuilt
or 80 nearly 20 that the difference in
cost will be but trifing. The very
heart oil the city seems to be utterly
shattered and wrecked. 1t looks as
though it had been literal y riddled
and honeycombed by bombsnells from
hundred batteries. Lofty church
spires hanging in air by mira shreds
OF masonry, great massive porticos
with lettering pillars broken and all
sskew and trembling beneath their
burdens at every jar, whole blocks with
the fronts shaved cleaulv down and
lying sprawling in unsightly heaps
OF brick aGd mortar in the street
below with the furnish ed looms which
80 recently we're shelter and home,
row all bare to the light OF day, bsnt
and broken paliDg' end awning rods,
lamp posts twisted into all conc ivab e
shapes and standing in all possible
angles that is sll that is left Of what
q week ago was one of the most pic.
turesque and beautiful of Southern
cities. The railway tr aims era all now
masking regular trips, but for seven
Teen miles before reaching the city
the effect OF the earths recent convul-
eions are perceptibe. There are rents
and fl ,sures along the track through
which a wet, muddy sand has bjiled
and heaped itself up in little hi locks.
The rails aud ties have been bent and
twisted and moved about until the
york Of repeated repairs has given
the road b d the appearance Of being
newly constructed, and the trains
crawl slowly along, creeping iimidly
over cracking bridge and now and
then coming to dead OPP 10 make
surs that all is safe before ihsm.

A Remarkable Recovery.

Dr. Robert St. George Dryanforth of Washington relates curious experience of his own during the civil war, and later while acting as a correspondent in the Franco-German war. While serving in the first great struggle the doctor was shot through the lungs and was inyalided. He subsequently went to Europe for his health and remained there some years. When the German war broke out he became correspondent for the New York Tribune, and Tn one of the battles he was shot through the base of the skull. He caught heavy cold while lying wounded on the battlefield, and his wound in the lungs troubled him so much that his life was despaired of and he was victim of rapid consumption. One day during violent fit of coughing the doctor brought up piece of his overcoat, which had been shot into his lungs ten years before. The election oi this cause of irritation so relieved him that he at once became better, and finally completely recovered. He returned to Washington and has since held the office of Judge of the Court of Appeals. He was also member of the Board ot EX- aminers and Assistant Commissioner of Patents. Dryanforth is now prominent patent lawyer.

BURIED IN A COAL MINE.
Seven Men Imprisoned in a Mine,
 With Little Hope of their Rescue Alive-One Man Taken Out Dead Others Iniured.

SCRANTON, Sept. 13-A frightful mine disas- ter occurred to-day in the Marvine shaft of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, near Providence. A fall of thousands of tons of rock and coal, three hundred and fifty feet be- low the surface, shook the earth for two or from fright. Those who lived in the neighbor- hood of the shaft saw a great cloud of dust roll up from the dark pit immediately after the shock had been felt, and knew at once that disaster had occurred down in the depths of the mine, where three hundred men and boys were working.
 In the course of an hour several of the miners were brought out of the shaft in safety. They said that the first intimation they had of their danger was when clouds of black dust and debris began to rush through the galleries and chambers of the great colliery. The air caused by the cave in, 600 feet away from where they were, swept through the passageways with the force of 8 tornado, spreading alarm and death through the underground workshops panic followed, as all the lights were blown out. 1t was found that one man was crushed to death and seven men were imprisoned in the mine, the rest escaping.
 A rescuing party has been trying to reach them all day and tonight. The hope that the men will ever be got out alive has almost been abandoned.
 SCRANTON, Sept. 14.-The work of the search ing party is necessarily slow, owing to the perilous condition of the mine. While the men were at work to-day cutting through the great wall of coal to the place where the entombed miners are supposed to be the adjoining pillars gave frequent evidence of the great strain to which they were subjected. Large pieces of coal were forced from place out of the solid bed and flew through the mine with the velo- city of cannon balls, while the sounds by which they were accompanied resembled rifle shots. Itwas extremely dangerous, and the men were compelled to quit work often for an hour at a stretch to avoid the impending peril. The wives of two of the buried miners are prostra- ted by grief, and it is feared that they will die.

THE WESTERN TORNADO. Damage by Wind and Lightning

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-The storm which passed over this city last evening did considerable damage in North Beleville, Ill. A nail-1nill had two of it's tall smoke-stacks blown down i; the two-story brick carpenter shop had the roof aud upper story torn off considerable damage was done at the smelling works, two miles north of the city, and at Braun's brick works, near the water works; number of chimneys of private residences were blown down and shade trees broken off. No lives were lost.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-During the severe storm of yesterday several carpenters who were work ing on some frame buildings at Hermosa took shelter in one of the structures. A few min- utes later lightning entered the building, striking Luke Murphy on the back of the neck and running around his chest and down his arm. tearing and burning the flesh in fright ful manner. He was stricken senseless, and for time he was thought to be dead. His re- covery is doubtful. John Miller, who was standing within two feet of Murphy, was scorched in the face, but soon recovered from the shock. Charles Moves, another carpenter, received a severe shock, and is still in pre- carious condition with very slight chance of recovery. The electric bolt after leaving Murphy, tore large, twenty-foot scantling into splinters no larger than match, one piece being driven clear through another piece of scantling.
