January 6th." Did you hear of tho ex
plosion?" Such was tho general inquiiyns
I entered upon my usual rounds on Monday
morning. I hadn't, but as I have since
heard a dozen or moro descriptions of it, I
may as well inform yoil of what transpired,
and what were and might havo been the
effects of the affair t On last Sunday morn
ing tho explosion of a range in tho kitchcii
of tho E. A. Douglas residenco caused con
siderable excitement in tho neighborhood of
Itaco street and Broadway. From what has
transpired, it appears that at about 7 o'clock
a. m., while tho servant gill was at work
preparing breakfast, tho water-back of tho
range in front of which sho was employed
exploded with terrific force,causing a gen
eral tcattcration among things inanimate.
After the catastrophe, not a pana of glass,
door or window-sash remained entire about
that kitchen, but, strango to say it, the cook,
although in clo-o proximity to tho rangoat
tho time, remained uninjured, escaping with
a slight scalding of ono of her arms. After
tho scare, tho kitchen, in question presented
a sorry sight, and the Douglas family were
compelled to apply for breakfast elsewhere.
A frozen water-pio, in conjunction with a
dry and over-heated witer-b.lck, did the
damage by causing the explosion, the repoit
of which was such as to arouse the most pro
found sleeer. For tho rest of that Sunday
morning and throughout tho day the Doug

tion about town.

SCDUEX DEATH.
The sudden and mysterious death at Upper

Indeed lynching would lie their only lot if
the popular mind would bo considered or
that mind should have time to develop or
moustrato itself ut the lime ol capture.
Well informed parties claim that there is a

that the proper authorities are on tho track
of tho liuendaries. I hope this may be even
bo, and that when caught Judge Lynch will

would bo bad indeed for tho tradesmen of

necessarily be conlK.'lli;d to susieud business.
Up to yesterday hopes we're entertained that
the fire might be subdued by walling tho
burning chambers up, mid thus, by tho ex
clusion of all air and tho turning on of

(Thursday morning)," little headway has
been mado in that direction, ns smoke nnd

can bo done "is energetically proxecutod by
relays, and all that exKrieuce and engineer

save the mine, if wssible. No. 4 is said to
be the best working mine m the region, and
within tho last tliue years large sums have
been cxiended on a tliird slojio with a view
of increasing its capacity. How thoroughly
tho incendiaries have done their work, is
attested by the present extent of thu fire nt

Will It Pnyt
Mr. EoiToit) Tho question is often asked
docs farming pay? 1 mako tho assertion
that farming floes not pay on an averago
over six per Cent on the amount of money
invested, unless it is made on the increase
of tho value uf the land. There seems to ba
a diversity of opinion in regard to locating
the proposed Poor Houso on improved or
unimproved lamb By taking a financial
view, I think tho matter is easily settled;
tho unimprbved land will increase in value
while tho improved will remain at about
tho samo value: If our well conducted farms
do not pay more than six per cent on tho
capital invested, where shall tho margin
conio from, if tho poor district buys a high
priced farm anil pays six per cent lor money
invested' I think tho answer must be, it
will not iay anything beyond the labor fur
nished by tlio institution, except ono good
and practical farmer. Sonic-object to unim
proved land) because nothing can be raised
on it for some time to come. From tho
abovo it would teeih immaterial, if it. costs
ninety-four cents to raise a dollars worth of
produce, and pay six cents interest on mo
Mine, it would appear to mako butvery littlo
difference, whether all is bought or raised. I
think the saving must come from having
the poor nil kept ut ono place under the
supervision of a good maii. the place- selec
ted by tho Commissioners is well adapted
for tho location of tho Poor Houso; in tho
first place it is very nearly central, about
four miles from East Mauch Chunk and
aliout five from Weissiwrt, with plenty of
excellent water and soii,wmcii can bo clear
ed for insido of ten dollars per acre. Tho
place can bo pnt in a good condition to ac
commodate all the poor in the district for A
sum not exceeding eight thousand dolldrs,
by economy in tho erection of tho buildings.

At about 7 o'clock on Saturday evening
last, the Ellengowan breaker) near Shenan
doah, belonging to tho Philadelphia and
Reading Coal aud lion Company, Was dis
covered to be on fire, nnd iua few hours tho
breaker, saw mill, and engine house attach

bleaker was 100 feet high, and was shipping
almt 100 cars K-r day to market. It was a
mammoth structure, and the fall of tho
ponderous machinery to tho ground, made a
crash that was heard for many miles. Tho
sparks shot up in the air like so many rock

the coal, consisting of 300 tons, that was iu
the lockets at the time, caught lire. Tho

Wilkes-Barre, Jan. 8, 1678. A terrible
fire is at present raging in one of tho largo
collieries belonging to tho Pennsylvania
Coal Company and designated as shaft No.
7, located near Yatesvillo, a few miles from
the city. At an early hour yesterday morn
ing the firo boss descended lo make his no
customed examination of tho colliery prior
to the entrance of tho miners. When he
arrived at a certain jioint, aliout a mile ills-
14111 UOtll lllU lOOl Ul KllV Mlllll, liU mui EMU-
dcnly surprised by acurrentuf hot air which
aroused his suspicious. Ho at mice proceed
ed in the direction of whence the heat came,
and, after gropiug about among tho dark and
underground chambers, ho suddenly turned
u sharp angle to behold, only a littlo way in
advance, a maseivo pillar of coal all on tire.
The lurid Haines coiled nud twisted about
tha column, and werorunuinzrapidly along
tho large vein ot coal just ueiuud it. .mi
time was to bo lost, and the fire bo rapidly
returned to thu foot of tho Bhaft, ascended to
tho 6urface, where be culled together a num
Ur of mines who, armed witf bucket sad
palls, went below nnd proceeded to tho sceno
of tho fire. By this tlmo tho heat was in
tense, tho strong currents of air being sur
charged with tho fiery vajior to such an ex
tent ns to mako It Impossible for tho miners
to get to tho burning pillur. Efforts, how
ever, were begun, and tho Incn set to work
with a will, throwing water on the burning
places that could bo reached, which quickly
turned to steam and came back upon the
miners with hissing, fury, In porno cases
overpowering tho colliers. All day and all
night tjiis system of fighting tho fire was
kept up, but no knowledge, of the progress
made could bo determined, ns tho not cur
rents of Btcam prevented tho lamps from
burning nnywhero in tho neighborhood of
tho fire. 'lo-night tho superintendent and
his men nro doing all they call to prevent
tho fire from spreading, but improved meth
ods for mastering it will havo to bo adopted
before a hopo can bo entertained of its final
subjugation. Tho origin of tho flro is un
known. It is thought that a small body of
gas must havo been ignited, but by whom
remains lo bo asceitained. As yet tho loss
cannot be estimated, as the fire is still raging
furiously nnd may result in tho total destruc
tion of thousands of tons of coal, if not of tho
entirely colliery, before it is extinguished.
