df co.tl a year havo boon on flro slnco

Vulloy coal company which operates
tho col.lcrloB has already suflcrcij n loss
of Eovcr.il hundred thousand dollars
which (iromlses to bo largi'ly-aucmcnt-
eu, several inon wno nave uocu unven
from llio mines by tho firo aro cngagod
day and night In efforts lo stop tho
v.orl; of destruction, but tho dlfliculty
of reaching It has rendered their labors
only partially successful. Tho first
four days thoy mado no impression on
tho flro. Appearances to-day indlcato
that their work Is haying a beneficial
effect I but tho temporary check lias
not, relieved tho pooplo of tho fear that
all tbo collieries in tliio county may bo
vlsttedby tho 0ro. They are connect
ed by1 subterranean passages, nnd
ehouldnn unfavorable draft ensuo thoy
would nil bo iu danger of destruction.
The principal efforts of tho miners aro
directed toward placing obstructions to
tho swtep of tho firo eastward, whore
tho Blj; Lick and Willlatastown collier
ies aro located, thrco or fivo miles above
this town. About thirty minors aro
constantly stationed in tho Lykens Vnl
ley slopo, tu properly handlo tho hoso
throUEb which wator is being conduct
ed. The sruolio is eo d6nso In tho local
ity thtt thoy nro occasionally prostrated
by Its effects and dinwn lu cars to tho
surfneo to bo rclloved by others. Two
email streams hnvo boon diverted from
their original channels nnd tho water
conducted Into tho burning mines, sev
eral linos of wooden troughs carrying It
to points where It is supposed to bo
most heeded. At tho mouth ot each
mine 13 n largo slopo house, Into which
cars loaded with coal aro ordinarily
hoisted, Thcso structures hnvo been
disconnected with tho slopes to savo
them from destruction. A similar pro
cautitu would havo provented tho burn
ing of a lnrge ougltio liouso aud great
damaga to tho machinery which cost
about' $30,000, Uotweon eighty and
ninety umh'3 in tho buriihi,; mines aro
supposed to havo been suffocated, all
way of ogress having boon cut off by
tho firo. That no human lives havo
boon lost Is In a great tncasuro attrlbu
tnblo'to tho fact that tho tiro occurrod
on n holiday whon tho mines wero al
most entirely deserted, Thcro Is a dif
ference of opinion as to how tbo fire
originated. Ono theory is that a spark
from r. miner's lamp Matted It, whllu
another is that tho heat from ono of tho
pumping engines in tho mlco was tho
cause. Tho spark spread with romark
abio rapidity, ascending to the top of
the Short Mountain Slopo, nearly fivo
hundred yards from tho supposed point
of origin, In Bis or savonhours. In
addition to tho largo quantity of coal
tiiul timbor consumed, much damage
must necessarily havo been done to tho
machinery lu tho mines both by firo and
wator. Should tho firo bo brought un
der control, which is by bo means cer
tain, it would be impossible to repair
tho damago and resume mining opera
tions during tho winter. About nine
hundred men wero employed In tho
burning mines. Thoro nro four nntlira
ctto coal mines In Dauphin county,
which employ between ii.GOO nnd 3,000
men. Tho Willlanistowu colliery, fivo
miles nbovo this placo, is tho largest In
tho world, and producod about 210,000
tons last year, nnd tho year boforo 301,
000 tons. Tho total shipments from
tho four mines last year wora 390,000
tons ; a decrease of 123,000 ns compar
ed with previous year. Whon tho mines
aro kept iu steady operation tho busi
ness of this coal region amounts to
from fl, 5000,000 to J2.000.000, annual

"Brown, I don't know how It is that
your girls all marry off os soon ns they
get old enough, whllo uono of mine cau
marry."
"(Jh, that's simple onouch. I marrv
my clrls off on tho buckwheat straw
principlo."
"But what is that principlo ? I never
heard of It before"
"Woll, I usod to raise a good doal of
buckwheat, and It puzzled mo how tq
got rid of tho straw. Nothlmr would
eat It, and it was a groat bother to mo.
At last 1 thought ot n plan. I stacked
my buckwheat straw nicely nnd built a
high rail fence around it. My cattle of
course, concludcdthat It was something
good, and at onco toro down tho feuco
nnd began to cat the straw. I dogged
thorn away and put up thu fonco a few
times, but tho more I drove them away
tho moro anxious thoy became to eat
tho straw, and eat it they did, ovcry bit
of it. As I said, I marry my girls oft
on tho saiao principle. Whon a young
man unui uoiri use ocgins calling on
my girls. I eucourago him iu ovory way
lean. I tell hliu to como oftou and
stay ns Into ns ho pleases, nnd I tako
pains to hint to tho girls that I think
they'd better set their caps for him, It
works first rate. IIo don't mako many
calls, for tho girls troat him as coolly as
tney can. uut wnon a young fellow
that I like comes around, a man that I
think would suit mo for a son-in-law I
don't lot him make many calls Oeforo I
glvo him to understand that ho isn't
wanted around my houso. I toll tha
girls, too, that thoy shall not have auv-.
thing to do with him, and glvo them
orders nover to speak to him again.
Tho plau always works first rato. Tho
young folks bgln to pity each other,
and tho next thing I kuow they nro en
gaged to ba married. When 1 suo that
they nro determined to marry I always
glvo in and pretend to mako tho best ot
it. That's tho way I nianuga It."
