THE COAL TAME.
State of the Trade.-. Decrease in Ship
ntenta--ThegCsaise—Saspended Regions
--Convention of Miners Held at Posta.
Among the iden.-•New
York.Market-4/notationa,ete. -
There is no Marked change in the trade
since last writing, though the amount of coal
shipped during the week is' considerably less
than that reported for the previous one. The
decrease of shipments was not caused by the
dullness .of the trade, but is accounted for •by
the fact that several days of the week were
observed as holidays, and, in consequence, no
work done. Inside,work was also interfered.
with by the rain, the accumulated water get
__ting-a--tenipormy-wmastery-a-the-puinps-rThen
17th was generally observed as a holiday,
and on .the. 19th the meeting ?add at Wilkes
bare, and attended by the miners generally,
caused a cessation of work in that and adjoin
ing regions. Some of the men having to come
from a distance were unable to reach their
homes on the succeeding day, and it, was con
sequently lost. With but one exception, the
men at all the places are 'quiet, desiring to
work on, satisfied with the present basis.
At the place where thnmen are duisatitifierff
the dissatisfaction is a local one, and caused by
a refusal ofthe operators to obey a mandate
of the Workingmen's Benevolent Association,
that Association demanding that threepersons
working at the place, who have broken one of
its rules and refused to pay the fine, imposed
on them; shall be discharged; threatening that
if Such is not done they- will quit work. As
the Company is resolved not to do so—the
parties being good men—a -strike, in 'conse
quence of the refusal, may ,oecur during the
week. If such is theresult, it will be done by
the Workingmen's Benevolent Association,
who will force - the - men of their organization
to that end. - The men-at-the-place express
themselves strongly . in favor of the retention
of the persons, offering to pay their fine,. but.
'are so influenced by the Workingmen's Be
nevolent Association that,howeverinuch they
may desire to work, they will be unable to
continue, but will be forced to obey, and
strike.
Affairs in - Schuylkill mid other suspended
regions, with the exception of the Summit
Hill, have taken an active turn during the lat
ter part of the week. Delegates were elected
on Tuesday by, the workingmen to represent
them in a special ccrnvention - , - and to vote on
the propriety of resuming work at the opera
tors ,terms or sticking to their demand for the . )
payment of wages, on basis of 1869. The con=
vention met on Thursday, at Pottsville.' Al
though business was, carried on with closed
doors, it is believed -that the vote was against
work and in favor of further suspension till
their basis was granted them. The delegation
from Tamaqua* are._,reported_._fa_have_voted
solidly in favor of further suspension, as also
the delegates- from districts where they were
making enough money to support themselves
by being engaged at, dead work, considerable ,
of it being done at ;the different col
leries by the operators, who are
taking 'advantage_ of the time to push-.
it. Without doiffit, great destitution is
prevailing in some of the regions. A g ntle.
man who lives in the - Lehigh - region, and has
every opportunity of knowing, writes that the
men are resorting - to all -means to make-suf
ficient for their support; in proof of this he
adds that a miner from St. Clair was at his
house a few days ago peddling. pins, needles
and thread, and told members of the family
" that he had, to take to that means to get a
little money_to iteep „family-Imm starving,
that they (the miners) were willing to work
-ha were:unable to do-so." - He alio - writes
! hat he was in conversation with a man from
Shenandbah mines, Schuylkill, who told him
•‘ that a large proportion of the Men were
willing to go to work, but the'leaders of the
W. B. A. prevented them. Also that a great
deal more suftring prevails than the men
will acknowledge to.' Such is the inside view
I of their position. A state of affairs they have
brought on *themselves by their heeling the
counsels and tea-chingpret of W. B. A- men, who,
if they were actuated and had for their aim
the gcroll of the workingmen, would not do
as now, counsel them to hold out, making
no wages, and causing them to spend, as they
have, the hard accumulation of the past, but
would themselves refuse to receive their sala
ries for their services, and sacrifice their
wages, at least, rather than live supported by
the men whom they have duped. Should-the
do so, they might lay claims to disinterested
ness, but considering the fact that before,they
were elevated to their present positions; 'they
were unable to make one-half as much as they
get now, it's about time that the men saw,
through them, and gave them a chance of
trying to live by labor. The amount of
money distrilpffed at some of the places
from funds collected for the purpose
of relieving those suffering by the strike was
about four dollars to each man for a month's
support. Truly, their organization supports
them and looks to their interest;.that is,
from
the above showing, to the interests of their
officers, at least. A good way to bring the
men to see their situation and show-them the
false confidence placed in their officers would
be for the operators to refuse to recognize the
W. B. A. as havingany power. In that case
the men would soon find out that their lead
ers had no power, and would cease to be gov
erned by them. But when it is as now—the
operators dUrine a strike ignoring the men,
conferring with and being dictated to by their
leaders—the men see at once their power, and
placing confidence in them, obey their every
every, behest.
From New York we have it that everything
is stirring. :Vessels are scarce ; that time
Scranton sale is anxiously awaiting. _Great
feeling is manifested as to the resumption of
Work in the Susquehanna regions. A brisk
trade is expected the remainder of the sea
don. The prices of Pittston coal to contractors,
for July, were reduced from those of June,
30 dolts. ,Some coal is accumulating, but the
scarcity of vessels is the cause, the heavy
coast fogs preventing them from coming in.
As numbers are now arriving
,they will soon
carry off tho accumulatiOn.

LIONS Oa LIARS?
Doubt AbOuiC a 'Terrific Story.
,
:We published a day or two since a tale of
horror, which has gone 'the rounds of the
press, giving the particulars of the death of
three, circus musicians, who, by an accident to
the car on which they rode, were tumbled into
a cage of lions and devoured by thetn. The
following, which sounds very Much like the"
Chicago Post, but which wo• clip 'from
another paper, discredits the story, whiohl
seems to have been entirely unfounded and
purely sensational. '
.
"What shall we beliove ? ' Here we - pi b.
lished in good' faith; a few days'since, a thrill
ing-story of three: musical blowers - belonging
to a circus, tumbling into a cage of 'bons and
incontinently converted into 'fresh meat for a,
leonine 'supper; - Or — breakfast—we forget
which. Now perverse'and unbelieving show
menisay there isn't a word .of truth in the
shocking story. The lions treated the musi
with- dlstinguishe.d consideration;-and'
- politely escorted thenito the door of the cage
without taking even, a single. juicy steak from
them.' The musicians didn't tumble. into the
den of lions at all, but went on blowing their.
horns with melodious composure.) The lions;
. were not: at -all -htmgry ;- and - couldn't :digest -
the* MuSielansif they had swallowed them.'
There. weren't any lions attached to the circus.
There wasn't any eircus: • The - musicians tuna

SA.TURDAY JUNE 25:1870.
"FORT DI cRITERSON, Neb., June 9,1870.
Hy Dear Friend: Last evening I returned
from a scout after the Indians, We had a
pretty hard fight with them about fifty-five
miles from here, on the Red , Willow•Creek.
I came nearer losibg my hair .there than
l - have - for - a - long - whilel -- I - will - try - to - W you
as nearly as possible how it happened.
"Four nights ago the Indians triads a raid in
here and ran of about fifty head of horses and
mules. The 'next morning 'found their trail.
A Company of the Fifth Cavalry was seat out
after, them. I trailed them to within four
miles of where they were camped, evidently .
With the intention of staying till daylight.
During the night I went on ahead to the creek,
left my bottle with the men, took mygun,and
on foot, went in search of them. 'found their
pimp was right ),12 this village. 'I went back
to tbe company, brought them up, and at day
light attacked them. They were so taken by
surprise that we easily routed thew, recaptur
ing all - the stock and killing several of the red
skins. I became separated from the company
during the fight, and came near going under
for my thoughtlessness. Seeing two Indians
riding one pony, I took after them,
ran close upon them, took good- aim
with my old 'long Tom,' just as I would if I
was shooting at a buffalo: I fired, and killed
their pony. Indians andpony went _down in
a Idropped my gun and got out my_ old
white-handled pistol. Just as one:of .herif
was rising up I was upon him, and tired. I
was so closet° him that the • powder of my
pistol burned his face, the bullet entering his
head, and killing him instantly. But before .I
could turn my horse, or stop him, the other
Indian had got up, and was shooting, at me,
wounding my horse. The red villain got a
bullet through my old white hat. I got my
horse turned, and charged him, running over
him, and knocking him down by the collision
with my horse. I turned and killed him be
fore he could get, up ! It was_one of the __live- _
!lest little tights Twas ever in.. I wish you
could have been there! I carry. all their or
naments, and their hair as trophies.
HE NITRO•GLYCEBINE EXPLOSION.
A gentleman -who was standing . within a
_dozen-rods of the rear 'Of.the train in Worces
ter when the explosion occurred, on Thursday,
states that whenthe train stopped the rear car
was lost to view in a tremendous cloud of dust,
smoke, and fragments of all descriptions. Im
mediately succeeding there broke upon the
ear a sharp crash: The air was full of debris t,
pieces of - blazing 'muslin—a- portion of the
freight—were thrown to an incredible height,
and, slowly falling, alighted all ablaze, rods
away,- in the -- open Ileitis. - Following the
tear of the explosion fragments fell thick as
hail upon the line of the---road and-the
streets surrounding, and when the .cloud
cleared away the results were plainly visible.
The three last cars of the train were blown to
fragmentS, and only the fore truck of the third
remained. The train stood at, the ~time - Upon
a grade or embankment-, high-a.bove-theleVel
of the street, so that only one-third, perhaps,_
of the buildingsalongside were above the rails
The other side was open country. - For seve
ral rods the buildings were demolished. Laths
and plaster were-blown to the winds as one
would knock the ashes from his cigar ; parti
tions were blown out, windows and • sashes
splintered to frag,ments,bed clothing torn from
the beds and flung into all sorts Oplaces, and
ruins made of what were an instant before se-
cure and quiet homes._
Below the cars and, on, the track itself the
rails were twisted from their, places, the ties
were annihilated, and the axles broken off
and driven into the ground for half their
lengths. In all dryections the shattered and
broken iron work told- a plain story of the
fearful force that had been so suddenly devel
oped. For rods around, the contents of the
cars were scattered upon the track ; -pieces of
cotton cloth, sides and scrapS Of leather,
shoes, furniture, stationery, littered the road.
The telegraph poles for several hundred feet
were blown to pieces, and the wires twisted
into fantastic shapes dropped from such as re
mined standing. The wheels of thin cars
were blown to fragments, and one of the
palls that play in the ratchet of the brake was
picked up half a mile away. It went whiz
zing into the kitchen of a housewife and
struck against the fire-place.
The platen of a large iron planing machine
in the .New York Machine Works was lifted
clear of its bed by the concussion. Children
white about the lips, and men, and women
with seared faces, ran - hither and thither.
One man, sick in bed with rheumatism, was
blown out of bed into an adjoining garden.
Soon - was made manifest that remarkable
passion for relics, if not for plun'der, that
characterizes so many persons. Things that'
could not, by, any stretch of imagination, be
useful, were quickly snatched up and se
creted. Old pieces of leather, scraps of
writing paper; envelo,pefi L soleless slippers,
shred of a toot or two of wire,
nothing was so small us to escape notice—

Strange Notins in a NiCarolinian _Harbor.
An officer of the Royal Mail. steamer Shan
non writes to .Nuterve an account of a phenonie:
non which he says has been repeatedly noticed
in the harbor of Greytown, Nicaragna. He
says
bwing.to_4 aluffiewbar,Neasels_cannot enter s
the harbor or raver, and are tberefc - ee obliged
to anchorin from seven to eight fathoms or , wa
ter, about two miles from the beach, the bot
tom -consisting of heavy-dark sand and mud-,
containing much vegetable matter, .brought
down by the river.. Now, while, at anchor in
this situation, we hear, commencing with a.
marvelous punctnality at about midnight, a
peculiar metallic vibratory sound, of sufficient
loudness to awaken- a -great -portion -of- the
ship's crew, however tired they may be after
a hard day's work. This sound 'continues for
about, two hours with but one or two very
I
short intervals. t was - firet noticed some few
years ago in the iron-built vesselS - Wye, Tynii&,
Eider and Danube. It has never neon 12 0 443
elf board the coppered-wooden vessels Trent, -
Thames, Tamar or Solent. These were steam
ers formerly employed on the branch of the
vompany's intercolouial service, and When
any of their officers or crew told of the won
derful music heard on board at Greytown, it
was generally treated as ." a yarn" or hoax.
Well, for the last two years the company's
urge trans-Atlantic ships have called at Grey
town, and remained there on such occasions
for from live to six days. We have thus all
had ample opportunity of bearing for-our
selves. When first heard by the • negro
sailors they were more frightened than as
tomshefl, and they at once gave way to so
perStitions fears of ghosts andObeibism. By
English sailors it was considered to be caused
by the trumpet fish, or what they called
such (certainly not the centrisc-us scolopm„
Which does not even exist hero). They in- -
vented a fish to ii count for it. But if caused
by any kind of fish, why only one at one
place, and. why only a certain hour of the
night? Everything on board is as still from
two to four as from twelve to two o'clock, yet
the sound is heard between twelve and two,
but not between two and foor. The ship is un
doubtedly one of the principal instruments in
its production. She is in fact for the time
being converted into a great musical sounding-
It by no means easy to describe this
:- , ontid, and each listener gives a somewhat
different account of it.

the ship. It cannot he fixed at any one place,
always appearing to recede from the observer.
On applying the ear to the side of an open
