said ene of them, "but that the miners
will finally win. Contributions have been
coining In during the vvcek from labor or
ganizations all ever the country. The young
men who left sevcral weeks nge hnve begun
te scud back a portion or their earnings. Last
week the donations were much larger than
ever before. I am liappy te nay that thore
are nene starving In tlie region new. The
Hungarians ami Indians sent in te take our
places at the mines are net giving satisfaction.
All are Hred of the strike, and J think a
compremlso could really be eilocted."

clilne I'lnccil upon the luillr.-nil.
Philadklpiiia, Dec. Ti. A special dis
patch from Kasten, l'a, says : What might
have been a torrible accident came near hap
pening en the Jersey Central railroad yostor yestor yoster
day botvveen Fanwood and Wcstfleld. A
track-walker wlille making his rounds found
a large square icl:age with two shawl strap
wrapped nreund It near tlie eutside rail en
the down track. The man thinking that
probably tlie package had been dropped from
a train, began te examine its contents. On
tlie top he discovered a square hole',
nnd belew It a blacking-box niled
with parlor matches and arranged
be that they could be easily ignited. After
removing them lie found 58 cartridgei of
dynamite and a let e'f Ne. 1 giant powder.
Up te this time the trnckmen saw no danger
and continued the search. He plcked up ene
of tlmrartridgus and wns about ie place ii en1
the rails te ferce It epen-wlth his hammer te
soe wnat it contained, when a resident of
Fanwood came along nnd proventod the ex1
plosien.
A hand car was thou precured, the infernal
machine was taken te I'anwoed, nnd an
official of the read In for med of the discovery
Wlicre tlie machine came from nnd whero it"
was Intended te be used is n mystery. The
opinion of the railroaders Is that by placing
it within a short distance from the track
it leeks as if wat lntonded te blew up a train.
Had the package net been discovered by Ui
track-walker, It is bolieved Hint it would
have been struck by the next train and
many persons killed.
