from motives of curiosity. - ' .. -- •'

Filially, the poor creature, betraying in her
distracted face all the strongest einotious of a
passionote sorrow, was prevailed upon • to let
the coffin be lowered in its place. But as the
men began to shovel the earth in on top of it she
threw . her , eyes up. towares heaven, clasped
her treintilows hands, and, with an expression
of the wildest despairing angubsh in her face - ,
whiels those who sww will never .be • likely to

Railroad today at noon, and looking up the
steep hill-side at the ruins of the once flourish
ing coal mine-ofAVondile.--the shattered en
gine-house built of stone, the torn, twisted,
and scattered machinery, the sloping ridge of
fiercely fired embers falling the motionless air
with a strong and shimmering heat, the black
ened wreck of coal shute and breaker, the ^
eharred--eak --and —hickory— -trees —upon--
the bill above and tbe utter wreck and ravage
of the Beebe all over, itopzessecl the spectator
with awe and seriousness. But much more
awful and serious must become the color of
biethoughis when told that from beneath that
fearful ruin the bodies of 200 human beings, ft,
few days Siuce full of strong and palpitating
life, were being brought out,oue by one, black
and bloodfcorpses and. bearing many marks
of a brief but desperate struggle with the
doom of suffocation in the horrible gloom of
the pit below.
Knowing the character of the -occurrence
and the purpose for which these croWds of
saddened women and solemn men have gath
ered, lining the dismantled walls in compact
and sorrowful numbers, it had a strangely dis
mal effect upon the mind to see issuing from
the mouth of a low, dark tunnel at intervals of
every fifteen minutes„through the 'day and
. idglir - four — wirary, worn men, bearing on a
stretcher the blackened form of a human-
across-the- Alist9.oe4-
a Coarse,, White , 'cloth: was thrown ; and as
the-tnelautholY-eorteger-moved-np—betwe •
the ranks at either side of mourning miners
the awful presence of death made itself as
serted. Voices 'were hushed, and hi the Wo
men's eyes grief and fear alternately found
expression., lt AVM' also a strange' effect ,to•
watch, as , each miner's name was called in
stentorian tones that echoed alongthe hill,how
all the men turned:their, eyes upon the women
in painful suspense_hat some wild startling_
shriek 'flight reed the air and sonic poor
heart broken ereaturereveal the dreadful grief
of her bereavement.
The day is over now. Sixty 'dead bodies'
have been rescued from' the fatal pit,and three
score widowed wives sit, by desolate hearths •
this evening. - • •
There ism() doubt that the • Avonliale mimic
was one of the best and worst the valley.
The masonry work, running down the shaft
some twehtyfeet, was as strong as stone-and,
cement could make it. The 'engine-house was
firmly built, the machinery of the finest - kind
iu the colliery business; the. breaker, that
covered the engine-home, and ; through
which the broken coal was despatehed
through 'a long 'shut° to the railroad track
below, was built in tile most, substantial man
ner, and alte,gether the works to the casual'Ob

feet, with a space twenty-six cfeet - bytwelve;
divided in the centre by a Wooden partition,.
on one'side of which the pure air deseended
to the mine, and on the other the impure.
vapors ascended to the top, rind' were dissi

to the bottom of this shaft, the explorer of the;

.of daily toil., ,I,aborers mere filling the cars
from the broken coal , brought -down. - by the
miner's pick ; bbys were driving forward! the
:mules to the mouth of the shaft with car-loads
of coal tebe.hoistot to the world above ; all
was proceeding in the customary why, when
the rush back of the sulphurous gas• from the
furnace told' theminers too well the' nature of
the disaster that had occurred,. . •
In the light of what' the brave men dis.;
• covered on going down early this Morning to -
rescue their fallen • comrades, we can easily
trace what followt4 when the discovery be
came known:through the - mine that; the sha ft
was stopped and the fresh 'air of heaven ex
eluded. All , those in the vicinity of the fur
_ naceretreated by winding ways sous-to-avoid
all contact with the poisonous gases, to the ut
most limits of the mine, to a gangway 1,200
feet from the bottom of the shaft. No dotffit
there was a _fearful hurrying backwards,
.for
'the fatal carbon rushed with hot and rustling
breath along the galleries and overtook many
a poor fellow who vainly strove to reach some
place of delusive .safety.
At the entrance to the last gallery of the
'mine UT appallee but yet collected minors
met, and with the true instinct of self-preser
vation proceeded at once to barricade them
selves in between a space extending in a semi
circular sweep some 330 feet. At either end of
this limitwere two doors which were instantly
closed, and on some crevices being discovered
the men pulled their shirts eft and stopped
the interstices, Ind not before the fearful de
mon in the air had penetrated their last re
treat—not in force, however, but, in
sufficient strength to do the work of
deal, with unerring certainty. In this terrible;
clamber their lamps extinguished, and the
blacknemofeternal night closed around them.
It is carefully estimated that the strongest of
the men succumbed in eight hotuu after their
self-immureinent.. , The supply of fresh air
which they locked in was quickly exhausted •
by: the breathing of sixty.seveu pair of power
ful lungs; while all tile- time the coal above,
- below and around them was ~ e mitting the
deadly carbon. Mr. Thinna.s, one. of the first
of-the._heroic fellows who penetrated to this
point in • search of the missing men, re
ports that after breaking 1n the barrier and
gaining entrance to the &mummy where all
those human livessurremiered to'the King of
Terrors, the sight that met his gaze; coin-
Pletely unmanned him, and wept like - A
little ebild.TO him there was something terrible
in the spectacle : the men were once his' • cora
reties ; their begrimed ,facts were f. tether
10,his eye; and from the danger of which they
is. , ore the victims Ins himself bad many narrow
•eseApes. It was the touching friendship. for
'each other which these rude sons of toil showed
in the last moments of their struggle for life
that melted • the soul' of the brave, stern man
who deficended the perilous shaft to save them
If lie could. Men were found "locked in each
etber,'s embraces; others with hands clasped
laid themselves down to die. 'One was dis
covered calmly sitting by a prostrate com
panion, as though listening to his dying re
enest. A father fell into his eternal sleep
holding his son to his bosom. Nothing harsh
or ainFy was observed in the features of the
poor fellows. :Within a space of forty feet
they had all • yielded up their lives, evidently
with a heroic resignation and a ealm resolve
to die like men'
Outside the entrance to this gangway two
men were found lying prostrate, as though in
desperation they had burst out the inclosure
where,the others lay, resolved on one final
effort to get free, but meeting full in the teeth
the fatal currant now coursed through al
the alleries they fell suddehlyforward and ex
tared.
Mr. Hughes, "boss" of the inside mining'op
erations, was found sitting on a heap of coal
his face resting on his hands, as though medi
tating on his awful situation, and while thitS
occupied was silently released, from ex
istence. A great many were caught in the re
treat to the rear of the cave,andxvere found in
all• kinds of attitudes through the galleries and
chambers. ,

'Wooiter called at the thanking house of

of bonds, which he ordered ,to be fienttobis

wil ll e e n i tViethhoa nfndes°arridreerii.deiriwertaddikn'treni9t'flio:nced
after examination, placed than in the pigeon-)
bolo already descrited;remarking, "All tight."
Stepping to a desk; he 'wrote aomething on , a
paper-blank„ - purporting-tir be - .tati &der -for.
gold. This he gave to his, confederate to pre
sent somewhere or other, with instructionstto
make as much haste as possible, as he had
other important business to transact. Unu.su.al '
time elapsed,and Wooster became very iMpja
tierlt and wondered what,' caused the' delay.
The, gentleman from the banking-house'
thought, everything was all right, ' for .the
bonds which be had _.given toz.Wooster_were_
still in sight in the , aforesaid pigeon...hole.
'Filially, Woester asked the gentleman to take ,
eleftge of the Mil ce, while he ( ccrooster)` would .
go to ascertain the MILS(' of the delay:
Tbis was of course readily assented to, and
'Wooster started from the office, but did not
return. His confederate, instead of going
after gold, as 'indicated, simply, got into the
apartment in the rear of the pigeon -holes, and
dextercuisly removed the bonds by sliding
back the panel,while Wooster engaged the at
tention of the repse.sentative of the., Third
street banking-house. In order to ward off
any suspicion, the bonds were replaced with
other papers, similar hi appearance. Filming,
the:gentleman, becoming impatient,- thought
he' wOuld take the bonds back to the banking
house, as he could wait no longer. He took
the detriments from the ;Pigeon-hole, , and,
it was not long before he realized the astound
ing tact that he had. been duped by a . very. in
genious arrangement: •It wai.). a lesson on the
uncertainty of ,business transactions )which
may be read about at the `present ante • with. •
'profit. „, , .. •
Wooster, since that period,- has ope.rated
ntmiber of places. He obtained by the;same,
method,' from Alfred Wilkins, of Detroit,' ,
Xiehittan $.6,000; from - a banking-houSe,

Was arrested--so 'was Wooster=both were
convicted and sentenced to prison,'he for a
term of five -years and she ibr three years.
Both servesi their time , out, but since that
period the woman has, died.' Her appearamcel
in the Crurdmd Cotat caused a great. Sensa,
Previou.s•to this time. Wooster had , served
three years in prison for robbing a hardware
store in the Arcade, - on Chestnut street. He
was also arrested on °lie occasion for•stealing
a pair of horses from a livery stable, but this
matter was eompromised, and he never was
tried for this otterice. During a part, of his
nefarious career he - was the "pal" of Eph. ,
Pharci, a celebrated "hotel sneak' This fel
low died a few years ago in the prisbn at Hart
ford, Connecticut.
Wooster assumed a great variety of names.'
He had a diffe,rent one in every city. In his •
truasaction with Whelan.. & Bro. he repre=
seated the business title of Bernard & Co. '
After he came out of prison for the second
~ time, he found the country convulsed with the`
rebellion. He went to. New Xork,, assumed
the title of Colonel, and started the substitute"
. business, which he advertised - liberally; and it
is said that he made pileS.of Woney at ;the ex-

As a general thing; thieves , such as Wooster
is are liberally inclined; and scorn to rob' the
poor. WOoster is= an exception. - He bearded'

The marshes along the Delaware river are
alive with theta, - and, when the high tides'.
come the sporting 'fraternity may anticipate
and enjoy the rare:andpleasurableexcite.ment
of two or three days' sport.
Ti. regard to rail-Shooting there is alwa3rs
more or less disappointment. We have known
as high as one hundred boats out on the title,
from .Brown's Island down as far as Martin's
Ear and 7111i6U111 Island, bringing in large
;bunches of birds, ranging from fifty up to one
hundred. We have known as high as two
thousand five hundred birds brought in at the,
lioPe Perry, by:less than - twenty boats out on
a single tide. Chi such occasions it, is not an.
Unusual thing for a gunner to have at long a'
dozen Birds down before the pusher' attempts
to pick one up. In this ease he mast carefully -
"mark" the spots where the birds fall, or lose
his character as a professional' pusher.
it requires a quick eye and large experience
to aecomplish thig much. The southeasterly
'rains and the .equinoctial storm of Septeinber
generally - produce extraordinary high, tides,.
,when large munhers'of births' may be 'taken.
This never fails to cause much excitement in
sporting circles, and many persons who have
gone on the following day to the same "gun
ning ground have been disappointed in not
starting a single bird. Their ruigKattiry haeits ;
are as uneertain as 'they are singular and
sudden.
Railbirds remain in the- , marshes for some
tittle after the frost has, , nipped. all kinds- of
vegetation, but they lintilly'disappear in a sin
