TREACHEROUS GROUND.
Two Coal Cars Drop From Train Into "a
Breach.

The crew Of Lehigh Valley coal train
that started out from Packer No. 2 colliery
yesterday afternoon had thrilling exper-
ience. The tracks between Packer collieri, 8
Nos. 2 and are laid upon very treacherous
ground and cave-ins are reported along the
line almost weekly. The tracks were dis.
turbed twice within short time previous TO
yesterday and on one Of the occasions were
rendered useless for nearly twenty-four
hours.
When the train referred to attained
pretty good speed the brakeman on the third
car from the rear end felt sinking sensation.
1t flashed across his mind that the track
under the train was caving in and, with an
almost involuntary effort, he sprang towards
the forward cars He had hardly done so
when there was great rumbling noise fol-
lowed by the swapping of couplings and
wood. On looking back the brakeman saw
that the last two cars Of the train had dis.
appeared. When the train was stopped the
crew went back and found that the two cars
had been carried down and tOppled over the
side of the track into a breach about thirty
feet in diameter and twice as deep. The cars
were almost covered with debris As soon as
the accident was reported large gang of
navyies were put at work to fill the breach
with ashes, but this was not accomplished
until to-day, and traffic on the line was
meanwhile suspended, transfer system
being resorted to at the scene of trouble.

Early yesterday morning burglars made
an attempt to enter the residence of Mrs.
Samuel Roberts, on East Coal street. One of
them succeeded in partly forcing open a
window while two stood guard. They were
frightened of by cries of the inmates of the
house and neighbors. The burglars had
evidently been watching Policeman Mullahy,
rs they commenced operations almost I'M
mediately after the officer had passed the
house. Some time was spent yesterday and
last night in trying to trace the men, but the
efforts were unsuccessful. Some of the
occupants of the house ON which the attempt
was made do work at home for several
clothing houses of town, and the pclice are
of the opinion that parties who knew this
expected to make a haul of clothing and
cloth.
