service spell. Let it first take a genuine
reform spell, and stop the postage stamp
and other swindles.

A new danger threatens the tunnelled-
gurface; the following telegraphed from
Wilkesbarre, Jan. 24:
At ten minutes to six this morning the
people of the Second ward were aroused
at what they thoaght was an earthquake
The people rushed wildly into the
streets, mothers with children in their
arms. Three shocks were heard, houses
swayed to and fro, and the ceilings of
over fifty houses fell upon the floors.
Chimneys tottered and fell, and windows
were broken. The greatest excitement
prevailed for a time. The disturbed dis-
trict is over the abandoned mines of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company,
which were worked about six years ago.
A large brick school house, which is at-
tended by three hundred scholars, is dam-
aged considerably. Two hundred and
fifty acres is the extent of the cave’ The
disaster js accounted for upon a theory
that the props put in the mines some
years ago to sustain the roof have rotted
away. A general apprehension is felt
that thisis only the beginning of more
serious trouble. Old and reliable miners
contend that the accident is the result of
pillar robbery.

is exhausted the coal regions will not be

ny says
In Mr
route prosecution
Andrew W, Moore the star
has found a witness
quite as damaging to Stephen W. Dorsey
as would have been ex-Senator Spencer,
who is now on the ocean safely beyond
the reach of government process. Moore's
testimony is to the effect that he was en-
gaged by Miner to render services on
the Dorsey routes in the West and that
he was “directed to report at Senator
Dorsey's house for instructions and
funds.” He did so report, as he testifies,
to “the head of the concern,” from whom
he received some very significant "in-
structions,” and subsequently “funds”
for services rendered. This was while
Mr. Dorsey was still in the Senate,
Moore did not hesitate to say on the
stand that he knew he was joining “a
conspiracy to rob the government” and
that he was to get “one-fourth of the
stealings” as his share of the plunder.
This frank admission may prove that
Moore was no better than the rest of the
plunderers. but it does not impeach his
veracity as a witness. On the contrary
it shows him to be the most truthful of
the star route jobbers, Indeed, Judge
Wylie remarked yesterday that so far as
Moore's evidence “stood unimpeached.”
As it has not been shaken by the rigid
cross-examination of the witness himself
it is obvious that Dorsey's lawyer can
now hope to meet it only by the evi.
dence of other witnesses, which he is
not likely to find an easy undertaking.
Meanwhile some more interesting testi
mony for the government may be looked

The Dios Saved Them,
An Incident in the Prussian Military Service.
This story is found in the memoirs of
a Prussian’ officer of distinction. He
wus at the time on the staff of Gea.
Winterfield, one of the most skillful and
competent captains of his day, and
Winterfield was the general in command
at the time spoken of,
Two soldiers had been condemned to
death. In a drunken condition at night
they had assaulted an officor of the line,
and one of them had drawn a knife up-
on him, but he could not positively say
which of the twain held it. And the
men ‘hemselves did notknow, Neither
of them remembered anything about it.
So both of them were condemued to be
shot,
They were both excellent soldiers
and only one had been guilty of using
8 weapon.
The officers of the division, including
him who had been assaulted, asked that
the men might be pardoned. At length
Winterfield said he would pardon one
of them. . Only one had beld a knife,
and only that one ought to die. He
would pardon one and the men must
decide which of them should be shot
“Let us shake the dice,” said one of
the condemned.”
And the other agreed to it. And it
was agreed to by all interested. The
two men took their places by the side
of a big drum and were to throw the
dice upon its bead. Two dice were
given them and a proper box for shak-
ing.
The first man threw two sixes. He
groaned in agony. lle felt that he had
consigned his comrade to death.
But when the second came to throw
be also threw twosixes. * Wonderful!”
eried the lookers on. They were ore
dered to shake and throw again.
This time the second man threw first
and threw two aces. “Good! You will
live. Peter. But when Peter came to
throw, the dice presented two aces.
And now the beliolders were wonder-
stricken indeed.
Another throw was ordered and Peter
threw a five and a deuce. The other
threw—five—d uce, After the excite-
ment had again subsided the men shook
once more. The first threw two fours.
“Oh, now throw fives and save your-
self. Peter. Peter threw-—two fours
At this point the colonel ordered them
to stop. He went and reported the
marvellous result to Wintertield. Said
he: *Clearly, gentlemen, providence
will have those two men to be saved.”
And saved they were. The general
eared not to oppose the wonderful fate
of the dice. It did seem providential,
and so he accepted it.
And the redeemed soldiers lived to
rove that the saving fate had given
ack to Prussia two of the very best and
bravest of her sons.

The Ex-Eupress Engenie.
Curious chance brought face to face
the other day two famous persons, who
had not met before in many vears, nor,
perhaps, wished to. The Duc d'Au-
malé was going from Chantilly to Paris,
partment in the train. Going to the
train and seeing a carriage marked “‘re-
served,” he took it for granted that it
was his own, aad entered, only to find
it occupied by two ladies. With an ex-
clamation of surprise he was about to
turn to the guard for an explanation
when he recognized the supposed in-
truders as the ex-Empress Eugenie and
the Duchess de Mouchy, who were on
their way to the death bed of Gen. Ney.
The Duc bowed and hastily withdrew in
confusion, to find his own compartment
elsewhere.
