A a preparing Coal for toe Market the digging of Coal from the bed of the Susquehanna River is an Industry that has Given an impetus by the Anthracite Coal strike.

Just above the town there Are five Large boats fitted with dredging and hoisting machinery and they get out from Twenty to thirty tons per Day. The Coal has gotten into the River from the Luzerne county mines and has been carried Down by the action of the water almost a Hundred Miles from where it was Nii cd. The High water of the past few weeks brought Down hundreds of tons. The most of it lodges in the North Branch above the Northumberland Bridges. This is partly caused by the action of the water against the piers and partly because the Junction with the West Branch Hacks up the North Brunch and the Coal settles in Aliaj the diggers Call a a Fields or a pockets. A North of packers Island is another place where considerable Coal is found. It extends in Long narrow lines and Many tons Are found in these at the canal Selitte of the dam below s i Bury is another Good location for the diggers. Very Little is found below this dam but at Clarks ferry Only a Short distance above Harrisburg the dam there Stovis considerable Coal and makes digging profitable. Coal digging Lias been an Industry at Sunbury for some years hut the demand Lias been increased by the strike and prices have advanced. The old adage of a carrying coals to new castles is exemplified now As Coal is Shiji died from Sunbury to Wilkes Barre. A Sunbury Digger has entered into a contract with a Wilkes Barre Coal dealer to furnish a Hundred tons of a River Coal.

He is the representative of Danville local no 124 original taking a train recently on the Erie Railroad for new York i entered a drawing room car and was assigned to in at no. 6. Seat no. 4 was occupied by an eminently respectable gentleman with a Gray Mustache and no. 3 by a Rosebud of a girl whom i judged was his daughter. She Hud the prettiest pair of Blue eyes in the world above which tumbled in artistic Waves a mass of Fluffy Light liar. The Vermilion of her lips wus contrasted by a Little Black Patch the size of a Silver five tent piece placed directly under a Corner of her Mouth. It seemed to be insecurely fastened for i noticed that she occasionally pressed her handkerchief to it in order to make it stick. The father soon settled to his newspaper while the daughter seemed in disposed to Settle to anything. She was continually casting glances through the car As if looking for some one and whenever to train stopped cast a Quick glance at every one who came in. When the train moved on she would fan herself restlessly till we made the next Stop. Presently at one of the stops a Young Man carrying a suit Case got aboard and glanced through the car and i saw his eyes meet those of the Young girl. Though there was not the slightest sign of recognition i knew at once that they had met before. Seat no. 1, next the lady was vacant and in a few minutes the Porter Hud assigned it to the Young Man. The girl swung round so that her Back was to him and addressed some words to her father pointing out of the window but i noticed that her breath was coming Quick and her face Hud lost some of its color. The Young Man soon turned his Back to All of us took n novel from ids suit ease and began to read but from the number of times he turned to glance through the Glass beside him i judged that his attention was not fixed upon the Book. Ills seat the end one was next a Mirror and it was not Long before the girl though his Back was toward her was exchanging glances with him. A few Miles from the terminus of the Road it Jersey City is a Long Tunnel. Just before the train entered this Tunnel the Jporter attempted to Light the Gas in the Center of the car but had Only one match which was extinguished before he succeeded. Plunging us Der ground we plunged also into total darkness. When we shot out into the Light the Young couple were sitting Back to Back but horror of horrors the Patch on the face of the girl had been transferred to the Mustache of the Young Man this i could see by the Mirror. I have been in that sort of danger myself and have u fellow any Oue similarly placed. The father was looking out of the window the girl unconscious of the Transfer of her Patch was sitting with her face toward him the Young Many a face was exposed to any one who chose to look into the Mirror. How could 1 communicate with the Young Man unobserved i stared at his reflection hoping to catch his Eye but he wus so absorbed in the re Mem trance of the kiss he had stolen that his Eye was not to be caught. Meanwhile the father faced his daughter and began to gather up their belongings his face being directly toward the Mirror. Tapping him on the shoulder i asked him by what Means i had Best reach the grand Central depot in new York. While he was telling me i wus trying to catch the Eye of the Young Man. This talking to the futher and gesticulating at the Young Man at the same time were More difficult Thau grinding an Organ and dancing a Mon. M. X i. Ii to it Quot u1io the train wus rapidly nearing the station. Presently the Young Man arose to take his suit Case from the rack above and saw by my expression thut something had happened. I pointed to my upper lip and glared at him. He stood looking at to stupidly for a time then put ids hand to ids face and when he withdrew it the Ratcli came also. At the moment the Young lady noticed that something was wrong and Gluc ing from me to her Lover saw 1dm looking at her Patch on ids hand. Of the Crimson of roses the Carnation of Pink the Scarlet of poppies none of those wus Ever so Beautiful As the flush thut came upon the Cheek of this pretty girl. No Patch was needed to make u contrast. It flamed against the Ivory of her face u Banner of love unfurled to the gaze of All who to look. The Young Man Rose to the occasion. Rushing up Tome he grasped my hand. A Why John where did you Spring from Why did no to you let me know you wore on the train where do you Stop in the City a Between my replies i managed to pulp my card into his hand and he hurried Nway after the futher Aud daughter who were by this time leaving the car. One morning soon after i received an invitation to Dine with or. Ail mrs. Charles l. Chancey. I had forgotten the car episode and went to the dinner not knowing who were to be my hosts. When mrs. Chancey received me in the drawing room i recognized at once the girl of Tho Black Patch and her husband proved to to the Young Man who had kissed her in the Tunnel. It turned out that the Man 1 had taken for the father was her guru Dun and was scheming to marry her. His plans were frustrated by the couple who managed to elude him in a crowd before crossing the Hudson. But for my warning their plot would have been discovered and frustrated.
