EXTENSIVE CAVE-IN.
LshiEh and Reading Tracks Carried Down
This Morning.

The looked-for caving in Of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad tracks near the Kelley
Run Junction occurred this morning al
most Immediately after the 9:Os passenger
train passed eastward over it.
The fall was more extensive than ex-
pected, extending about 400 feet east and
west,and about $50 yards, north and south.
and affected both the east and west bound
tracks OF the Lehigh, and the Kelley Run
tail track of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad, south of the Lehigh road.
The Lehigh track went down about
four feet in some places and the Reading
tail track went down about twelve feet,
carrying two empty gOudolas with it and
almost throwing them on end against
each other. The Cave-in extended to and
caused depression in the high embank
ment to the north OF the Lehigh tracks,
The workings under the affected ter
ritory continued to work hard after the
surface went down and the mine officials
said the tracks would in all probability 90
to a much greater depth. The railroad
company at once established transfer
system by calling two passenger cars from
Ashland and taking an engine from n
coal train. This mixed train was then
put into service between this town and
the west end of the cave-in, and the
passengers due from the east at 1915
reached here pretty close to time by
walking from their train at the east end
of the cave-in to the transfer train at the
west end. This system of transfer was
kept up all afternoon.
A woman who was walking from Shen-
andoah to Yatesville was badly fright
ened. She was almost in the centre OF the
affected territory when the cave-in started
and made a mad break for the eastern
end, reaching there without injury.
The cave-in was due to the workings of
the Indian Ridge colliery. 1t has been
looked for by both the railroad and min
ing companies for several days. In fact
the latter company has used a large
amount OF dynamite during the past few
days to pull down all the loose coal and
make its workings safe for the miners
and the railroad company issued orders
to all its train hands and section watch
men to keep a strict watch for a cave-in.
The place was working 80 badly yester.
day that the colliery stopped opera
tions but resumed again this morn
ing, when it was stated that the inside
workings were safe enough for the miners
to start work, but that the railroad
tracks were liable to drop at any moment.

Morris Dunn Mt WIN n singular Acct
dent Last Night


dent Last sight.
Morris Dunn, young man Of town who
recently returned from Trenton, n. J..
where he worked at his trade as printer.
met with serious accident last night.
While en- route from Pottsvlle to Shenan.
doah on late Pennsylvania train he for
some unknown reason, went out on a plat
form of one of the cars and fell to the
track near st. Clair. His fall was not
noticed by any of the passengers or
crew of the train and he was
left in the darkness. Dunn crawled
up ON an embankment at the size Of the
track and remained there for n, ,rIy four
hours, when, at about 9 a. m. % Pennsvl-
vania freight train bound for pottsviile
picked him up It was found mt Duun's
lett leg was broken just above the ankle.
At Pottsville he was put on train for
Shenandoah and upon his arrival here mt
q. m. he was put on train for the Miners
hospital. Dunn did not give q very clear
explanation of the accident to his friends
here, but it was inferred from what he
said that he had pretty Jolly time i'm
louisville last night and did not have a
clear recollection of how he came to fall
from the train.

THE COUNTY SUED.


Barron and Hariman's Action for Breach
OF Contract.
Messrs. Barron and Hartman the Ash
land publishers, yesterday entered suit
against the county of Schuylkill for the
recovery of $500 alleged to be due on a
breach of contract.
This suit arises out of the printing of
the ballots for the last spring election.
Barron and Hartman were the original
successful bidders at 81 800 and subse-
quently sub-et the contract to Potts
vile syndicate The latter then went to
the County Commissioners and said the
work could not be done for less than
100000 but magnanimously % consented
to come down to SS,OOO but rather than
submit to gouging the Commissioners
aud Controller made hasty "trip to Read
ing and there met a representative of an
Allentown firm, who contracted TO do the
work for little over 81 800. Barron and
Hartman then offered to stand by their
original contract and intimated that the
Pottsville syndicate had no authority to
act for them as they did, therefore the
Commissioners and Controller were bound
to stand on the a 500 contract. The
county officials thought otherwise and
the ballots were printed by the Allen
town firm.
The circus season is now open. Let the
band play.

Exciting Experience OF Railroad Men in a
Tunnel.
Special 10 the HERALD.
MAHANoY CITY, March 27-Engineer
James Seitzinger, and the fireman of P
& r. engine $40, on freight train number
78 bound toward Tamaqua, were almost
suifocated in Mahanoy tunnel yesterday p
afternoon by sulphur from their engine.
The engine was pulling long train that
moved very slowly through the tunnel.
The escaping sulphur from the engine
instead of blowing backward seemed TO
remain about the engine and was probably
influenced in this action by the heavy
wind from the west. The hot and chok-
ing fumes entered the cab, driving out
every breath of pure air. The fireman
felt dizzy and almost fell over. Engineer
Seitzinger felt the sufiocating inhuen ce,
too, and putting on a full head of steam
stepped from the cab to the pilot, where
the atmosphere was not so strong of the
gases. The engine soon reached the head
of the grade and then started down the
incline toward the tunnel mouth and
fresh air with a speed quite relieving to
the minds and lungs of the two men.

Judge Weidman yesterday handed
down a decision in the case of the Com
monwealth against County Commits
sioner Charles f. Allen, in which a
motion was made to quash the indict
ment. The order made in the case is
"and now, March 26, 1894, the motion to
quash is made absolute as to the first and
fourth counts of this indictment, and
overruled as to the second and third
counts" As to the counts sustained,
Judge Weidman says in his oplnion
"The second and third counts in form
seen sufficient They charge an oifense
defined by law in sufficient term. Each
charge that the otfense corrupt promise,
was made to two or three persons named,
Each count states that these acts were
committed at the same time and place.
No legal objection appears to this form of
charge of the facts sustain it. There is
no reason why this Indictment should be
quashed il the promises alleged We're in
fact made to the different persons named
at one time and place. If the fact should
appear otherwise at the trial different
questions may arise, which we do not feel
called upon TO decide at this time.

A GLIMPSE OF NOVA SCOTIA.
The Country Is Beautiful, People Arc Cou,
teOus. and Board LIS Cheap.

The Country Is Beautiful, People Arc Cour-
teous, and Board Is Cheap.
A good deal has been written and said
about the politeness with which travellers
are treated while journeying through GER
tain European countries. But 1t is not
necessary to ge.so far from home to meet
with people who find time not only to
treat strangers with politeness and affa-
bility, but who observe the practice in
their daily intercourse with one another.
A traveller through Nova Scotia and the
provinces is impressed at the outset with
the idea that the natives fully understand
what Is meant by hospitality, and what is
more to the point. know how to make a
happy use of their knowledge. Their po-
likeness, to be sure, is not of the polished
French kind, but 1t is none the less grace
full, because it Is Of the good old fashioned
sort. The following is only one illustra-
iton of many others that could be told of
them: A party of Brooklynites while jog
gingfalong country road was overtaken
by man who was driving his horse at a
furious rate. AS he turned out of the road
in order to pass ahead he pulled up his
horse with some difficulty and apologized
for passing, explaining that he was anx-
ious to overtake man who was quar-
ter Of milo ahead. Then be rushed on
This may seem a little far fetched, but it
is the parctice in Nova Scotia. 1t may be
remarked that in an extended Journey
this was the only person who was met that
seemed to be in the least bit of a hurry
The people there manifested decided in
clination to take things easy. In village
of 500, at the ringing of the village bell at
IL O'Clock, every store in town is closed
for one hour, while the proprietors go
home for dinner. The same thing occurs
again at o'clock, business everywhere
being suspended for one hour. They think
that an hour for each meal is none too
much. 1t MAY be only coincidence that
while many patent medicines were adver-
tised conspicuously no remedy for indiges-
ton was brought to ones attention. Tt is
somewhat matter of surprise to find in
each small village Salvation Army in full
force, bass drum, barracks and all. One is
apt to wonder where they got their con-
verts, for the churches are numerous and
always well attended.
Taking into consideration the good
roads for driving, the beautiful scenery,
the first class coaches and good railroad
SERVICE a journey through Nova Scotia is
sure to be satisfactory. There are four
water routes-one direct from Brooklyn
by the steamers Portia and Servia. The
three other lines leave Boston and are the
Canada, Atlantic and Plant direct to Hall
fax, with two large iron steamers; the Var
mouth line, with two fine boats to Var
mouth, and the International Steamship
company, with two well appointed side
wheel steamers running to ST. John.
The expense of living in Nova Scotia is
surprisingly cheap The writer boarded
at country hotel for eight days at total
cost of $4. 50.-Brooklyn Eaglc.

Mr. Pullman's Compromise.

The architect of Pullman was W. W.
Beman. He was justly proud of his work
and justifably anxious to be identified with
it in the memory of posterity. So one day,
soon after the town was completed, he
came to the proprietor and said:
"Mr. Pullman, if you haven't decided
on any, name for the new town, what dc
you think of calling it 'Benan, from the
man who designed it?'
"Unl-m." said the magnate. "Fact is.
I had thought of calling the. place Pull
man, from the man who built it and paid
for it,
However, Mr.. Pullman added as he
observed a look of disappointment on the
architects face, however, I'm not par
ticular. Now, what do you say to com.
promise? Suppose we take the first syl-
liable of my name, Pull and the second
syllable of your name,, man. There we
have it, Pull, 'Inan'-'Pullman.' You
see, that combines your idea with mine. -
