Largest Depot in the World.

The Pennsylvania terminal to be
erected in Manhattan will be the big
ges, railroad station in the world, with
accommodations for handling 200, 900
passengers day, or about 70, 900. 900
or 80, 100000 year. From 60 to 90
trains will enter and leave it hourly.
The tunnels will be lightened and
trains moved through them by elect
ricity. The use of electricity for light
ing and purposes of locomotive will
keep the air in the tunnels clear and
pure and will reduce the danger of
accidents to minimum by making
the obscurings of signals practically
impossible. Freight trains will not be
sent through the tunnels, for the rea-
son thar the freight can be more
easily and cheaply handled by system
of floats from Greenville, in New
Jersey, to Bay Ridge. Freight in
tended for Manhattan will, of course
be handled by floats that will dock
along the North and East river fronts.

The Skeletons Found.

Twenty-six years ago when the Cen
tralia colliery was operated by Bryson
& Gorrell, the firm maintained two
fine double teams for the use of the
colliery officials, one gray, the other
black. One morning the hostler came
to look at the horses ard opening the
door of the box stall where the gray
team was kept he looked into a yawn-
ing beeach. During the night gang
way in the mammoth vein, directly
under the stable, Collapsed aud the
grays were drawn down into the cavity.
Rescue was impossible, even if the
animals had not been killed. The
stable was moved and the incident
closed. On Saturday new opening
reached the face of the old gangway,
which had been closed for so many
years. There the miners found the
skeleton remains Of the horses which
had perished almost generation ago.
The bones were in a fair state of
preservation and the moulding re-
mains Of the feed box from the stall
found near the skeletons. The find
excited good deal OF comment
among the older residents OF Centralia,
many of the old miners having been
on Bryson & Gorrell's pay roll when
the cave-in occurred.

It Was a Case of Wade or Walk.

Hold on there" cried a fellow
from the opposite side of the canal
channel as the last car from Cata-
wissa stopped at the Rupert club
house, Sunday night. He was in
quite a predicament. Only two
hours before he had left the car at
that point to escort his fondest
hopes up to her home between the
hills. Now the darkness was so
intense he couldn't find his way.
He had waited fifteen minutes,
thinking that the light from the
car would help him out of his
dilemma. The car came but the
illumination was ftful and ineffec-
tual and still he couldn't see where
he was going. He finally by brav-
ing the mud which was nearly an
kle deep, succeeded in reaching the
edge of the water, where he found
to his additional discomfort, that
the foot board, over which he and
his girl had crossed only short
time before, was gone. The water,
under the influence of a drenching
precipitation, which had just abated
had risen and carried it away.
Hurry on" shouted conductor
Wanich, 1--WE can't wait here all
night. There was nothing left
for him to do but wade, and into
the water he jumped with a veng-
ence. He reached the car all right
but maybe he wasn't sorry looking
sight. AS he pulled himself up in
to the car he said, "I've often heard
fellows say that they'd wade through
blood up to their knees for a girl,
but water is the limit tor me" and
everybody laughed.
Had anybody not acquainted
with the circumstances been passing
at the time and heard the water
splashing they would very likely
have concluded that the sea lion
had changed its course and gotten
over into the canal.

Suit for Damages.
the corps

Hemlock township is involved in
a law suit. The party aggrieved
is Jacob Kreamer, who claims
damages from the township to the
amount of 500 for injuries sus-
tained by two of his horses. The
animals were injured at different
times, one as the result Of an al
legged defective creek bridge and
the other by reason of chuck hole
in the road. The one horse he
claims has been rendered practically
worthless and the other is of but
very little service to him. A propo-
sition to settle the case was made
by him he says, but the township
rejected it. Now he wants his
money, and to secure it he has en-
ployed counsel in the person of
William c. Johnston and Geo. M.
Tustin, aud the suit has been en-
tered.

Head by Crane-Dies in a
Few Minutes.
loss of Blood Caused Death.

Thomas Adenger, an employee Of
the American Car & Foundry Com
pany at Berwick met an almost in
slant death ON Tuesday. He was
employed as shipper in the black.
smith department of the works, and
at about two o'clock in the after
noon had occasion to pass large
push crane. The machine is used
to raise and move the heavy goods
in the shops, and was in operation
at the time. He was directly under
it when without any warning it fell
striking him on the breast, and
Srushing him to the ground. He
was quickly carried into the office,
and doctor summoned. An ex-
animation revealed the fact that an
artery had been severed.
The doctor was entirely unable
to stop the flow of blood, and it was
only a few minutes until death
followed.
Thomas Adenger was a resident
of Northumberland, and had only
been employed at Berwick a short
time. He was thirty eight years OF
age and is survived by a wife and
three children.
The accident is one of particular
sadness. Away from home and
having to close his eyes in death,
unable to say last goodbye to his
loved ones.

LAYING PLANS FOR FAIR.
soen. Of dtuggi.notR. P. Asn& Co. Ms.hys. N. 4

The executive committee of the
Agricultural Society held a meeting
Saturday afternoon. There were
but two absentees. The proposed
poultry house was considered. II
is to be "a by SO feet in size and 9
story and half high. The con-
tract for its construction will be
awarded at next Saturdays meet
ing.
There will be a change in the
premium list of the poultry depart
ment this fall. Under the old sys-
TEN it was possible for exhibitors to
enter a halt dozen or more colors OF
the same variety, and get a prem
ium on each one. This fall all colors
are to compete with not less than
six Of each strand and variety. The
first prize will be IS cents and the
second prize 40 cents.
The matter of selecting bands,
and the appointing Of judges was
discussed, but no action was taken.
They will be acted upon at the
meeting to be held August I5th.
The fair is still nearly three months
distant. This early activity on tie
part of the managers indicates that
nothing is to be left undone that
will in anyway aid in making this
falls exhibition the banner one OF
the society's history.
