BARRISBCRQ, August 22.—The work incident to the furnishing of transportation to Gettysburg on Pennsylvania monument day to soldiers who participated in the three days' fight has thus far requir ed the services of Colonel D. 8. Keller, of Bellefonte, and three clerks for several weeks, and an ad ditional force was pressed into ser vice to-dny owing to the large num ber of applications received for free transportation under the act appro priating $50,000'. Every mail brings hundreds of applications and up to this time about 4,4)000 have been re corded. In a few days the business will be so shaped as to enable a proper ap>- plication to be disposed of twenty four hours after its receipt. Blank applications for transportation, pre pared by the Gettsburg Co [amission having charge of the deicatory cere monies, have been furnished to sec retaries of the several regiments that participated in the battle ami by them distributed among thfe' veteraus. Many blank applications have also been sent to individuals on request by the department here. Eleven hundred applications were received yesterday, besides a large number of miscellaneous letters. Ten thousand is a conservative esti mate of the numbe? of applications that will be received before Pennsyl vania Day. The Advcntists now announce that the world will come to an end on the 7th of October. The per formance may have to be postponed, however, ou aocount of the weather.

It.was sixty seven days ago ttmt he entered upon his fast, the longest and most won derful of which tlieVe is any record. He was 85 years old and exception ally vigorous and hoathful, and"it was pride in his strength that lif.d caused liiui for the last few years to assume tne care of cultivating a garden. He returned from his work on June 9 almost helpless from a strange attack and stood be fore the door of his home unable to enter when he Was found by mem bers of his family. The doctors, after examining hint, said that be was paralyzed, and for a period of five days "he xvas helpless. Then be gradually began to recover the use of his hands, and at the end of nine days he arose from his bed. During the tinus however, he had taken neither water uor food. When an effort was made to force him to take nurishment he resisted four men with such force that they were com pelled to abandon the attempt. On the ninth dav of his abstin ence he voluntarily drank a small quantity ol' water and a day or two afterwards he took a few spoonfuls of milk.

SCRAN'TON, Aug. 22.—At an early hoilr this morning a cave-in occured in No. 1 mine of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company atOh pliant, a few miles from here. Mine Super intendent A. B. Nicol, of this city, entered the mine in company with Inside Foreman John Jones and Richard Mason, Driver Boss Samuel Williams and Fire Boss John Lavin to investigate the extent of the fall. Their lamps ignited the gas that accumlated as a result of the fall and the men were buried along the un derground galleries and frightfully burned. The explosion occured about a mile and a quarter from the foot of the shaft. The injured men walked the entire distance Without light, having to grope their Way to the foot, all the time suffering the most intense agony. When they arrived there they gave the eii* gineer the signal to hoist. This was the first information the out side world had of the accident in the mine. It was about 9:30 when the gas was set off and the men were hoisted to the surface soon after teh o'clock. Mason, Jones aud Williams were burned from the head down and Nicolf on tbe head, neck and hands. The latter prevented his face from being scorched by covering it with his hat. I/avin's burns are oil his hands and neck. P. W. Fadden. one of the driver bosses, afrd EnOteh Thomas,- one of the fife bosses, pro cured oil and alleviafed as much as possible the sufferings of the burned men, after which the latter were" taken home in ambulances. The only other employe who was working in the mine when the ex plosion occured was William Day, who is a water boiler. Efe was em ployed, however, a long distance from the sceire ol' the explosion and was not in danger. All the burned men with the exception of Nicoll are residence of Olyphant and all are married except Williams. Ma son was the only survivor out of tive men who were burned in No* 2 five years ago and Lavin was caught by an explosion in the same mine about seven years ago. There will be celebrated at* UTeshaminj', in Bucks county, on the sth, of next month, an efent which will serve to coinmonorate one of the most important occasions in the religious history of the United I States—the founding of the Log College—the first institution in this country wherein young men were given an opportunity to study for the Presbyterian ministry.
