Workman Frightened Away by Mysteri ous Sounds Miner Declare That the Noises Are Made by the Spirits of Six . Men Killed in an Explosion. New York, Dec. 15. The Sun's special cable letter from London says: The latest sensation for Jaded lovers of un canny things la a haunted coal mine. It Is situated at the Morfa colliery in Pouth Wales. The spooks first made their presence manifest last week by In dulging in wailing and knocking all over the underground workings. There could be no doubt about it, as several hundred miners heard mysterious sounds which were nulikeanythlng.they had ever heard before. They were so thoroughly scared that they threw down their tools and went to the surface and refused to resume work until the fhosts had been laid. Yesterday efforts to persuade tho men that the mine was perfectly safe and spook Droof, and that the noises were due .t natural causes, succeeded, and the men reluctantly returned to their work. Borne had begun to be somewhat ' ashamed of themselves, and made pre tence that they had feared not ghosts, but some physical disaster, of which the ro'sea were Intended as a warning. Hut the majority fervently persist in the be lief that there Is a supernatural expla nation, and Incline to think that the trouble Is due to tho disturbed spirits ol six workmen who were killed In an ex plosion which occurred six years ago. .end whose bodies were never recovered. Rome of the men have declined to go down again until those bodies havo been found and decently Interred with Chris tian rites. The evidence in favor of the super natural theory is still considered abund ant and plain -enough for the averagfe hlood'turdllng noises, and several saw doors and brattices moving in the most unearthly manner. People abroad af tei dark are said-to have heard the singing of dirges and the roll of mufilea arums. The latter, however, may be merely tht artistic finish given the story by one of the numerous newopaper reporters who have been investigating this strange affair. Mr. Wirt Sykos, who was formerly United States consul at Cardiff, pub lished en Interesting book In 1879 upon the subject o Welsh miners' supersti tions. This book gives a good deal of space to "the coblyns" or fairies who are supopsed to dwell in mines, and it has been suggested that the trouble at the Morfa colliery is oue to mem. isui the miners themselves scout the idea. Coblyns, they say, are friends of the miners, and when they knock or shout ' or throw bits of coal dust about, it is for the purpose of letting the men know Where the best veins of coal ore to be found. The suggestion that the mys terlous and terrifying walling came from a tomcat which had strayed from the mine stables and got lost in the Workings is unanimously repudiated and denounced as unworthy trifling With a solemn subject mat Dinners to the President. .

Drown, superintend ent of the bureau of railways, is etlll industriously at work, on the statistics for the year, his last chapter having reference to the earnlnpr and income. The total amount of revenues received by the railway companies for the transportation of passengers in 1K!H was 61,ir..l2S: In 1TO2. Jffl.in,2Cl:; in IfMl, Sr.241.0S7; in 18!M, 61.MR,iB8; In 1K93. 60.SS7.2S5. A marked disparity Is noticed when the passenger revenues and the number of pHseners carried In 1SS.1 are compared with the freight tonnage and the freight receipts for that year There is a large increase of tonnage and a small Increase In the revenues therefrom, while there Is a decrease In the number of passengers carried one mile and in the receipts. This is owing undoubtedly to the fact that the passenger tralllc in 1894 was swollen -in a great degree by the world's fair traffic. The report for 1884 covers the last half of ISM, the period when the largest portion of the world's fair traffic took place, and It Is therefore not surprising to sea a falling off In the passenger traffic both na to receipts and number ot pasengers. in me report for 1R05. TUe total revenue for the transportation of freight In 1S1 wns 31 r0 124,012; In i!i!i,fiaz,'ij; in ts;i, $2U47M'S; In 1S94, 166.711. 233; in IS!):., $180,817,075. The Pennsylvania rail road shows an Increase in receipts from all sources from 1894 to 1895 cf over three million dollars. During the five years from 1S91 to 1895 Inoluslve, the highrnt tonnage was In 1S92, when it reached 290.480.712 tons, and the low est in 1591, when It reached Z3.l,2u,7;i7 tons. The tonnrgo In 1895 Is classed as follows: Agriculture. 17,8f.0,033 tons; animals. 6,(175,799; products of mines 177,933,129; products of forests, 14.543,- M)3: manufactures, 3fl,4;0.708; merchan dise, 6,763.518 tons; miscellaneous, 11,- 747,487 tonB. The Trunk lines will continue to sell clergymen's tickets at .one-half fare until March 1. by which time the Joint Traffic association will be In working order and prepared to deal with the question . which has been a trouble some one for the roads. A number of tho lines are in favor of continuing the sale, while others oppose . It on the ground that the tickets are too great a bonanza for the scalpers. Persons represent themselves an clergymen and seeure the reduced rates. In this way- the. railroads lose considerable money. It was virtually decided to do away with tho special rates for ministers, but at a meeting- last week the Trunk lines agreed to extend the time to March 1, and then turn the matter over to. the new association.- At a meeting of the hoard of directors of the Lehigh Vallay Railroad company In Philadelphia; Tuesday Eugene Delano was elected to fill the vacancy In the board caused by the death of John R. Fell. Mr. Delano Is well known -and until recently the resident manager of Brown Bros, a Co. ' . -' v ; The ooal shipments over the Hunting, don and Broad Toy railroad last week were 69,241 tons, an Increase of 1,99 tons ever the same week last year. For the year, im date the shipment are 1245,121 tons, an Increase ot 280,297 .tons. IN THE EREflT HOHTHWEST ome of the Great Benefits of Irriga tion Described. DESEKTS AKE TRANSFORMED Correspondent Richmond Contlnnos Ills Instructive Lettors Narrating Views and Inaidents of a Tour Through Wonderland of North America. Written for The Tribune. From Pasco to Tacoma Is 254 miles and comprises the Cascade division ot tho Northern PaclOc railroad, the most recently constructed, and possibly, the most picturesque and most expensive, including Its series of tunnels, on .-ie entire lino. It took three years to build it. This 254 mile ride by daylight Is re plete with interest. The road crosses the mighty Columbia river, between Pasco and Kennewlck, on a new combi nation Iron and wood bridge, which spans tho broad blue flood of this great stream near the mouth of Its principal tributary, the Snake river, and follows the valley of the Yakima river nil me way to Its source In the Cnscade moun tains, a distance of 160 miles. The Y ak- Ima river is nnother Important iriou- tary of the Columbia and empties Into it near Pasco Junction. Pnsco nas a popu lation of 400. and also Kennewlck the same, while Klona, on the Yakima river has only 250 people, but are places oi Imnortance at the bend of n system ot irritation, which Is a marvel even to the most progressive farmer and enthu siastic tourist. licnefits of Irrigation. Ti,n first town of importnr.ee on the Cascade division after crossing the Col umbia river, is Prosper, forty nines om- tant from Faseo. It is tho point oi ue parture to an extensive grazing and farming region culled in U,M Heaven country," while the country no-th of the Yakima river, stretching ut to ltnttlesnake mountains, Is known is tho "flunnyslde country." Hero the lard Is very fertile in spite of its desert lilte appearance only lacking Irrigation to make it "1 loom and blossom ns tho rose." Here we find a system of irri gating canals, which are bringing under cultivation tens of thousands of acres of bunch grass lands. We havo hoard and read much about his Yakima country, this land of sage and sunshine, and were prepared for many surprises, but nothing so great aa we met here. llie trum is aim marie it well that the mont fertile land in the west Is a sage brtii.li patch, and the larger tho sage brush, the better the ir.nd. Hurh areas Inck but one ele ment In transform the unslprhtly, dreary waste Into a fertile plain, a luxuriant field, a lloucry bale. That one thing Is water and its. effect Is magical. Most Fertile of Farms. In this Sunnysldo country is an Irri gating canal sixty nille.n long, sixty-two feet wide at the top, thirty nt the bot tom and an eight feet depth of waer, with quite a swift current. It Irrigates some sixty thousand acres of as fine land, as a plow ever turned a furrow In. This land Is easily worked and divided into small farms of ten to fifty acres each, where crops luxuriate, and the "mall nnd large farmer profits alike. The soil Is marvelously rich and varies In depth from twenty fo one hundred feet; In character li; Is a volcanic ash or disintegrated basalt. It is easily worked and it returns a good crop from the very first year. Never, in all our travels from Atlantic to Pacific, have we seen such fields of alfalfa, oats, sieeii coin, naps, tonaceo and fruit as are found In the Irrigated lands of the Yakima valley the beautiful dark, rich green of an alfalfa field from April till December inclusive, is one of the attractive features of the Yakima val ley, especially so In contrast with the never ending brown of all the bunch grass regions of the Rocky mountain states. For about thirty miles the railroad runs northwesteward throuph the Sim coo or Yakima Indian reservation, which is well settled nnd contains many irregatea farms and verdant mcaaows. This reservation roveri. sno 000 acres. Land here is worth 215 per acre without irrigation, or S50 an acre with irrigation.

Here the products of the, North and the South grow equally well. The tobacio flower blooms here beside the bearded grain. The grape culture even now rivals some of the best wine districts of California The pride of Yakima Is its Irrigated farms. (Irrigation and Its wonderful results will be the subject of another letter.) Travelers who desire to see irrigating farming on a large scale should visit the "Moxee Farm" near North Yakima. This farm embraces about two thous and acres under ditch and cultivation and has an extensive stock range of many thousands. On this farm irriga tion is carried on by both tho flooding and small ditch systems There are over four hundred miles of irrigating ditches and canals In these productive valleys, Instigated and mainly devel oped by the enterprising officers of the Northern Pacific railroad the pioneers in developing- the irrigation problem. A Typical Western Town. After passing several small stations along the line of the reservation, where we witnessed the shipment of large drove of fine horses and cattle, we ar rived at the enterprising town of North Yakima, situated near the eastern en trance of, Yakima Canyon a county seat and the center of all the valleys embraced In the Yakima Basin. Here we And a population of 3000; about sixty- five mercantile establishments, several hotels, a handsome public school build trig .of brick, a Catholic seminary, two banks, three Weelfly papers, an United States'Land office ay good creamery and a large flouring mill, run with the water power of the irrigation eanaL 4aken from the NorheM river, which hast Heart Failure.
