Talue % the Thousands Of Tons Of Coal az
Perth and south Amboy.

ICf1A anu south annoy
Thousands Of tons If coal are shipped
from the ports of Perth and South Am
boy. at the mouth of the Raritan river,
every month. IL is loaded IN vessels for
all points along the Atlantic seaboard
and many European ports. The coal
docks Of the Lehigh Valley railroad at
Perth Amboy are among the largest in
the world. The docks of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at South Amboy are
nearly as large in shipping capacity.
In connection with the handling Of
such immense quantities of coal one Of
the most troublesome problems for the
railroad companies is TO keep their roll
ing stock in constant motion. Ii is con-
sidered loss of revenue for car TO re-
main several days at a given point. and
everything is done TO facilitate the rapid
movement Of the cars, both loaded and
empty. For a number Of years loaded
cars We're kept standing in the storage
yards of the Pennsylvania railroad at
South Amboy for weeks at a time. AT
times the company was embarrassed for
want of cars to transport the coal from
the mines The difficulty was finally
solved about three years ago. IN place
of the long string of loaded ears may
now be seen immense piles Of coal.
When a train arrives from the mines,
the various kinds of coal are sorted out
and the cars drilled 10 the proper side
track for unloading. In close proximity
10 each side track stands large derrick
with a movable boom extending diagon-
ally into the air about so feet. To this
boom is attached a large travelling belt,
on which are fastened large buckets. The
belt is operated by small steam engine
in charge of the man who manipulates
the elevator. As the coal drops from the
outlet in the car it falls into the buckets
ON the elevator belt and is carried TO the
end of the swinging boom, where il is
dropped in the center of the pile and dis
tributed by gravity. The coal remains in
these piles until it is required for ship
ment; then it is loaded in cars and trans
ferred to the docks.
The immense piles of coal usually
contain from 10, 900 TO -, 600 tons each,
and are worth from $40, 900 to 500, 600,
according to the market value of the
coal. 1t is frequently the case that there
are 12 of these piles of coal in the stor-
age yard, representing a value of from
$500, 600 to 5000, 600. 1t was discovered
recently that the coal rusted while in
these piles This did not detract from
the burning qualities, but affected the
selling value. To prevent this canvas
covers were made at a cost of $1,000
each When the piles of coal are all
covered, the storage yard resembles a
large circus The sight Of such an inn
mense quantity of coal is viewed with
establishment by strangers, although the
residents of South Amboy are so accus-
toned to it that they never give it "a sec
ond thought. New York Telegram.

TWO LEAPS.


One Was For Liberty and the Other Was
For Life.
"In passing by the criminal court
building the other day" said Luther
Latin Mills, 81 recalled, among my
memories somehow connected with it,
that Of remarkable leap for liberty.
About 10 years ago prosecuted a
young fellow for the crime Of burglary.
He was convicted and sentenced TO prs
ON for a term Of six years. After sem
tence, as he was being conveyed by
deputy sheriff from the courtroom TO
the Jail, across the passage connecting
the two buildings, which / have often
regarded as a Bridge Of Signs, the
young burglar suddenly sprang over the
low hand railing, which was then the
only protection Of the bridge, landed ON
his feet 40 feet below. and, recovering
himself, made bold dash for liberty.
He started on run north on Dearborn
avenue, pursued by deputy sheriffs and
policemen, and was finally recaptured
in a barn not far from Lincoln park.
When they brought him back, his face
flushed, his eyes flashing, his shirt col
lar thrown open, he looked like young
hero of romance. A few days later he
was taken TO states prison, where he
served his term.
Passing over the Clark street bridge
there required to me the memory of an
other leap-one for life One evening
about five years ago on approaching that
bridge found it open and crowd Of
about / 800 men and women In state
of excitement a policeman informed
me that woman had fallen into the
river. What's being done to save herY
| demanded. Before the officer had a
chance to reply young fellow rushed
through the crowd, threw off his coat
and vest. put his hands together and
shot into the water He caught the
woman as she was going down the third
time, struck ont for the shore, and both
he and she were landed in safety.
81 heard man say TO the rescner,
What's your name?' | have no name
in which the public is interested, he
replied But You re hero, urged the
man, and your name deserves to be
made known The young man shook
his head and peremptorily refused to di-
vulge his name. happened to get a
good look at the fellow, and there came
to me a sudden flash Of recognition. He
was the same one who had made the
leap for liberty from the Bridge of Signs
"Things went better with the young
fellow after that, continued Mr.. Mills
"He got on and prospered and is now
a we'll to do commercial traveller. -

AN ANCIENT BLocKHoUse.
The Bouquet Redoubt the Only One In
Existence.

The Bouquet RedOubt the Only One In
Existence.
Here in Pennsylvania we find what
is not in existence in the east or south
one of the original blockhouses built
before the Revolution and still in per-
feet state of preservation. All the others
have disappeared. Forts Duquesne and
Pitt are things of the past, but the re-
doubt of Colonel Bouquet stands today
as it stood 1870 years ago. To the Pitts
burg chapter of the Daughters Of the
Revolution we are indebted for its res
toration. 1t has been owned by them
since 1888. Until that year the old
redoubt of Bouquet, as it is called, was
occupied as a tenant house, and within
its walls was born Pittsburg's local his
torian, the late Neville b. Craige, Esq.
Down ON 1.-THE point, on a narrow,
dirty little street called Fort street, sur
rounded by tumbledown buildings near
" as old as itself, is little five sided
building of stone and brick erected by
Colonel Bouquet in 1864 as a defense
against the Indians. The lower story is
of stone and the upper of brick. In both
are perforations or loopholes, through
which the defenders could fire with
comparative safety from the enemy.
Why this redoubt was erected has
been a query TO us, as but a short dis
lance away stood Fort Pitt, work of
considerable magnitude and whose
erection cost the colony Of Virginia, or
the English government, eco, 600, but
the redoubt was built, as a stone slab
over the door with the legend, "1764

ming the following sad story reached
/ our town
Late Thursday evening the little
three aud five year old sons OF MIR.
Frank Hobs. who live about one mile
south of Crawnsh Prairie. near Trinity
river about Il miles from here were
out playing While engaged In their
innocent sport their fathers hogs came
up, and the little fellows turned hog
drovefs and began driving the hogs.
They succeeded In getting them started
on, as they had often done before, and
ms time II IL thought they followed
them In their sport far out into the
woods. not noticing where they went,
and when they became tired of the
sport or though Of returning, they
were so far away that thcv could not
find their way back to the house. Late
In the evening their absence was noted
by their mother who went in quest of
the little wanderers. Soon she found
that her calls were unhcedcd. ana that
they had gone so FAR that they We're
really lost.
She gave the alarm and soon the
nearest neghbors were out in search of
the lost children =
The gloom OF night began to settle
over the earth and still no tidings OF
the wanderers came Friends were
sent out to notify others OF the settlers
and soon all were engaged IN the
search, The clouds gathered and the
wind began TO blow, but by the light
of lanterns and torches the search was
continued. The rain began 20 fan and
soon came pouring In torrents, but still
no tldlngs came TO relieve the poor
mother who was Frustrated with grief.
The cold winds blew, and the dreary
hours Of night dragged heavily on. The
morning light had chased the darkness
away. and sun the search was contin
ued In vain
When the morning sun had risen a
more thorough search was instituted
Homes were left unattended. and every
one Joined In the search. which was
kept UP without cessation TIL nine
O'Clock p. m, when a shout of victory
that the children had been |
found. The agony OF the mother seem |
ed unbearable. and now that the an |
nouncement was made by the shouts |
that they were found, the suspense was |
still great; for II was not known OK |
cept by a few whether they were dead |
or alive Soon, however, 1t was as
certained that they were alive; but both
were unconscious. They had laid down
near together, evidently In despair and
with the hope of getting warm, and in
this condition they We're almost chilled
to DEATH They were restored 10 their
mother The youngest has become con-
scious, but the older Is stlll uncon-

All heartily sympathize with the sor-
