A HORSE FALLS DOWN

After Considerable- Wood Chop

ures tho Stood Was
Roscuod.
pSfSSliJ HERE was a peculiar
JLj. accident at tho stable
on Market alloy, near
Lloyd street, owned by
M. L. Kcmmcrcr, tho
confectioner. Tho vic
tim was a horso belong
4,w
ing to Mr. Kemmerer, the confectioner, and
it had a remarkable escape. Tho stable Is
located under tho candy factory nud tho coa
bins are kept in tho cellar. In order to reach
them it Is necessary to raiso a door In tho
lloor of tho stablo and descend a flight of
stops. Tho stalls where tho horses oro kept
ii but a few Icet from tho trnp-door. Yester
day afternoon a stablo boy backed ono of tho
horses out of 'its stall and allowed it to stand
near tho trap-door while ho went to get somo
harness. Meantlmo a boy from tho candy
factory raised tho door and descended Into
tho cellar to get a bucket of coal. Tho
hostler then appeared with the harness and
as ho attempted to put tho bridle on tho horso
It backed to tho opening in the floor and
went down into tho cellar.
The opening was only about four foot long
and two and a half feot wide, just largo
enough to let half of tho animal's body down.
Tho faro legs floundered in tho air and the
head and neck flopped from ono sldo to tho
other, as tho horso tried to frco himself, but
theear half of his body was held a? if by
a vise. Tho boy In tho cellar was terror
stricken when he saw his horseshlp descend,
but ho managed to find a hole through
which ho crawled to freedom, leaving tho
coal bucket behind. The hostler was equally
soared and while yelling for help ho tugged
at tho horso's neck, but his cflbrts wcro use
less. Mr. Kommerer then appeared upon. the
scene and men from the neighboring stables
and blacksmith shops crowded about to make
suggestions. Tho horso had tired himsolf and
gazed helplessly at tho crowd. "Whero am I
at?" could bo read plainly in tho largo,
beautiful eyes.
Plans of all kinds were suggested by men
who know something about horses and their
rescue in cases of omcrgencios and by many
who didn't. The horso was wedged so
tightly many concluded that at least two of
his legs wero broken. Finally It was decided
to cut away the flooring about the trap-door
and holbt tho animal. After considerable
sawing and chopping, and four hours after
tho horso fell into tho place, pulloysand ropes
wcro put in position, and with the aid of a

turned out early and cleared their pavements

ORE'S OBSERVATIONS.
What lie Bees and llrura During; Ills
Triivclfl.
Tho frequent cavo Ins ulong tho Lehigh
Valley railroad In the vicinity of Packer
No. 2 colliery, together with mention of th
fact that watchmen are kept patroling tho
sections where disturbances aro oxpected, led
ono of our townsmen to remark that tha
operators should pull out tho coal and let the
places down at onco. This, he thought,
would save tho people along the valley con
siderable anxiety. While down the valley on
Monday I laid these sentiments beforo some
of tho peoplo acquainted with mine affairs.
One of them said, "It is well enough for out
siders to talk, but any sensible man who
knows anything about mining affairs must be
awaro that wo would be criminally liable if
we allowod tnrn to work In places so threaten
ing as thfSso are before they go down. They
must have thor own time and we cannot risk
lives to hurry them.
While looking into this matter I also
learned that thoro is something behind the
cavo-ins that is not generally known. It
seems that tho Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany would prefer having the coal remaia
whero it is so as to have no disturbance along
its lino and tho landowners would leave tho
coal thero provided tho railroad company
would pay for it. It is intimated that the
company and landowners may eventually get
together ou somo arrangement that will put
a stop to tho disturbances.
Auother interesting item in connection
with these cavo-ius cornea up in a different
shape. When tho cavo-in occurred near the
Lost Creek station about two weeks ago it
was admitted that it broke ono of the main
pipes of tho Lost Creek dam, hut it was de
nied that tho colliery had in any way suffered
from water on account of tho break. A
gentleman who claims to sneak upon ex
cellent authority told mo yesterday that the
water did bother tho colliery, but for som
reason or other it was decided to keep the
matter as quiet as pos9iblo. It was fortu
nate no ono was in tho mine. In speaking of
this my informant said, "When I heard that
this was a fact my mind at onco rested upon
what would be tho consequence if a break
should occur at tho public water worke
which the borough of Shenandoah proposes
placing above the Kehley Run colliery. And
the more I thought of the mattur tho more
convinced I became that tho position taken
by thoThomas Coal Comjiany is a strong one.
Did it over stiike you," continued my In
formant, "that should n break occur in the
reservoirs of tho proiosed water works, that
after drowning tho men in the Kehley Huu
colliery and reaching a certain height in
those workings tho water would rush on into
the woikings of Kohinoor colliery throngh
tho many openings between the two mlues
and also drown the meu thero? Such is tho
fact and I can demonstrate it to any one who
may doubt what I say. And what strikes me
as more peculiar is that two of the Council-
men who favor the site selected for tho water
