coAL MINING N aRgAr BRITAIN.


Gut Coal ltHuSfipus Nub7iH'F'''s
The alarming sulaidence which took
place some time ago in Scotland, on the
North British railway, near P~res;onpans,
and which was fortunately unattended
by any accident, has doubtless added a
fresh source of fear to the nervous rail
way passenger. That the permanent
way of railway for 4 distance Of about
fifty yards should suddenly sink to the
extent of two feet is almost incompre-
hcnsihle at first; and had this subsistence
occurred while the train was passing, in
stead of Immediately afterward, the
consequences might have been dis
astrous. 1t is the case, however, though
it may not be generally known, that
Overwhelmingly only gradual
and comparatively inappreciable-are
taking place over many of our railway
lines, and that minerals are actually
being extracted from underneath nearly
every line of railway under which there
is any mineral to get.
There are two recognized methods of
working out coal. The old method is
what is known as the "stoop-and-room'
or "pillar-and-room' system; and the
method introduced into Scotland about
the beginning of the present century Is
known AS the -longwall' or shropshire"
system of working. The first system
explains itself by its name. After the
bed of coal is struck, rooms are worked
out, leaving pillars" or "stoops7 TO sup
port the superintendent strata. The OBJ
ject to be attained in this system, as
practiced in the olden times. was to
have n large room worked out, and as
small a stoop or pillar of the coal itself
left, as was consistent with the safety of
the mine and the support Of the surface,
while the mine was open.
Hut this system cntailed the entire
loss Of the pillars SO left. To obviate
this loss, the method now generally
adopted is to drive narrow rooms or
passages, seldom exceeding fourteen
feet, through the seam, leaving large
pillars-abou - per cent. of the min
eral-umtil the extremity of the availa-
bile coal is reached. When, however,
no regard is to be had for the surface,
and the coal has thus worked out as far
rs can be done, the miner commences to
work backward, taking out the stoops or
pillars as he goes. The whole roof of
the mine then comes down; and this is
the most dangerous Kind of subsistence.
II Ices not take effect Immediately above

The PORK Paekers, strike .

CHICAGO, October 1O.-In the vicinity
of the great packing houses significant
preparations are noticed. Pinkertons
force at the yards have been increased
to 400 men, and each one of them is
armed with repeating rifles and reVOl-
Yers. The packing establishment of
Washington BItchers Sons was con-
verted into barracks and VIII be the
headquarters of the detective force.
These headquarters have been connec-
ted by wires to number eff stations in
different quarters of the yards. To-
night a numoer of patrol wagons are
standing about the barracks. Pinker-
tons force gets its rations at the transit
house, but tomorrow will go elsewhere,
as the walters have decided to serve no
meals to Them. J he AnglO-Ameri-
can Packing Company have made
preparations to Withstand a siege.
There is a high brick wall about the
building and precautions have been
taken TO prevent the admittance Of tur--
bulent individuals. Yesterday the
company killed l,200 hogs which were
left on the hook and must be packed to-
morrow to prevent heavy losses. Ar
mour's packing houses are in the same
Tx. he mas large NUMBER OF co.'s
placed in one of his buildings, and the
inference is that men are TO be imported
u do the work. There were no formal
meetings of the strikers to day.
CHICAGO, October 1.-THE two dele
gates sent by the general convention of
Knights of Labor to endeaYOr to adjust
the troubles among the men at the
stock yards have arrived and are hold
ing a conference with the strikers.
They have as yet had no conference
with the packers. 1t can be stated
positively, however, that the latter are
not disposed to compromise, but insist
upon ten hours. The presence of an
increased force of PankertOn men srme
with WnchesreTs had a very irritating
effect upon the men this morning,
and was the cause of swelling
the fJrce of strikers to-day.
Armour is bringing men in from
different parts of the country
to take the strikers places, and says he
can guarantee all of them steady work
and ample protection. They are putting
up cots for the imported men and have
room for about 600. Armour says other
packing houses are making similar
preparations.

through he window on the outh Size
OF the church, f8ttening itself against

women screamed, the choir BOYS
shouted, and many of the men pressed
forward to see if Father Miskewitz was
injured, or rushed out of the building
10 find from where the bullet came. TIE
priest showed great GOODNESS, notwith-
standing the act that the missile must
have passed within six inches Of his
body. He turned, and with a gesture,
waved his flock to their seats; but not
all of them, for by this time upwards Ct
a hundred had sWarmed out into the
street and into the yard of the parish
building adjoining. No trace could be
found. There has been a good deal Of
trouble between different factions in
this church in time past.
