A big fire is raging in the Cameron mines at Sli Mokin and it May become necessary to turn the Channel of the Creek into the mine Ami flood it. Thirty eight mules have been smothered to death and i Fie fire is the worst experienced by the company in a period of fourteen years.

With the exception of the three wheels employed All the parts of the self winding clocks Over 20 in number including pinions pillars sockets and screws Are turned out 1 with rapidity by the machine itself. It is an intricate looking Mechan ism and while watching its movements it i is hard to realize that it is not guided by intelligence. Inserting a wire to furnish material for the parts to be made the Foreman goes about other work leaving the machine to take care of itself. Unassisted by Auy Oue yesterday it went on with the making of pinions each of the complicated and tiny pieces As it dropped from the Machi tie to a Ealing a Star of perfection which it would have been impossible to surpass on the slower hand lathe. Each part of the clock has a Cutter or a a tools Peculiar to itself. Replacing one of these cutters w Ith another is the work of but a few minutes when it is necessary to change the work. As All these parts heretofore wer slowly turned out on a hand lathe it will readily to s in that the automatic screw machine must materially increase the capacity of the Plant without Deni hiding corresponding increase of flour space.

Last night when his company gave his Semi spectacular production there was very Little standing room in tin House. Many had doubtless see the play before and knew what to expect. The play was beautifully and elaborately staged so fir a scenery and electrical effects were Congem d Aud was also Well electric Light in semaphore. The d. 1m a w. Railroad company has installed a electric Light in its semaphore at Tho station at this Plaez. This i an improvement being made All along thu line which adds an a lament of safety to railroading besides relieving thu Telegraph operator of much work. I in Toton the operator was obliged to do a Grout Deal of climbing up and Down the ladder in attending to the Light All of which with Electron it v in use is entirely obviated. Besides there is no danger of the Light being obscured with ice or of being extinguished by the wind. A casualty of the latter sort occurred on one of the by Edern railroads a Short time ago and a costly Felt Iii tit was he result. Rifle and gun club.

Under to e warm Sunshine and mild variable winds of a couple of Days past the Snow and ice has melted rapidly. Fortunately roue of the Small streams which Drain into the Susquehanna Are v i much swollen so that danger of High water on the River does not seem imminent. Meanwhile it is the general impression that the Ico constituting the Gorges is weakening materially so that to very Gravo fears Are any longer entertained As to the result when High water occurs. Tho streets about town have become very Sloppy and a veil Muddy at places we Are now on the eve of a period of bad roads which judging by the depth a that the Frost has attained will he Cut up and Muddy for a Long time. March is one of the most unpleasant months of the year in More respects than one. Mrs. Keller buried. The remains of mrs. W.

A rant Keller the husband mrs. Hester Jane Keller mrs Isaiah Knorr and miss Iraq e Frazee. Costumed. Rut the production did not depend entirely upon the Beauty of the stage setting nor the brilliancy of the electrical display but the acting was excellent. The audience always discriminating did not allow Stroug lines finely spoken to pass unnoticed. Another Welcome feature which was properly appreciated was the song of the intermezzo from a a Cavalleri it has never been Sun so Well or with such a Superb voice in a local theatre before. It was a Good Deal of a Surprise last night and altogether unexpected. Or. White has made unparalleled strides toward the Pinacle of Success and is today Oue of the most promising Young stars upon the american rapids Mich i Herald. Or.

In accordance with custom the Pennsylvania Railroad company publishes its financial statement in Advance of the stockholders net aug. The showing of Large increase in business Aud in Gross earnings justifies the policy of heavy expenditures fur permanent improvements required to handle the business of the present and near future.

Property to meet Trio increasing volume of business and Public requirements. The flood of proxies pouring in from stockholders four fold greater in volume than at any rime heretofore demonstrated the continued Confidence of the owners of the Pennsylvania Railroad in it present capable and progressive management and which will doubtless be continued.

Slides of Bethlehem is now out and is being distributed. It contains Many excellent features Aud is the most Complete that has been yet issued for these towns. In addition to tie usual appendix re a Ting to the Borough and poor District giving foil informal Ion on churches secret societies and the like there is a Street directory of each of the three towns giving the dwellings in their order each numb j eng followed with name of Trio a cup ant. This arrangement will be found of great service to those who wish to make a canvass of the town or to Send out advertising matter. In the general directory the names of the wives Are Given which is another feature that will prove very useful. A glance at the Page reveals which of Tho males Are the Heads of families the husband s name in every instance being followed with the Christian name of Bis wife in parenthesis. The latter feature along with the Street directory is a idea which originated with or. Sholes. A summary of the data contained As it relates to Danville will be found of general interest. There Are 1921 houses in Danville As against 1637 in a Louisburg and 17t>8 in Berwick. In Danville there Are 3945 names of citizens in South Danville Aud Riverside 290 outside names As Sidler Hill Bloom Road etc., 144. In Danville there Are 13s4 wives names in South Danville and Riverside 151. In the territory canvassed 2046 children Are reported. The total population As give in the directory is 7960,a trifle below the figures of the last census which Are 8042. Charles w. Courtney of Bethlehem was associated with or. Sholes in getting of it the new directory. Under the direction of the two gentlemen the town was canvassed during october and november last. The work was conducted with great care As is evidenced not Only by the excellent classification but also by the accuracy in orthography &c., which Marks every Page. The directory was printed by the Keystone printing company of Bethlehem and typographically shows up very uie Elv. Quincy Adams Sawyer. There is no maudlin pathos now deemed mock sentiment in Trio great Rural drama a Quincy Adams saw yer. A in fact it would be very Bard to pick out from the prompt Book of this play any lines that could be classed As yet there is sentiment in plenty in this most popular of new England dramas and Aud True sentiment it is too. The Blind girl who is Tho Centre of much of tin dramatic interest is a most appealing figure yet she neither moves nor whines. It is by personality that she appeals Aud the sentiment that surrounds her is the natural outgrowth of situation Aud conditions and not the provision of the playwright. When the play is presented at Trio opera House on March 22 it will repay the observer of such things to note the entire absence of the trite Aud i amp a keyed sentimental touches. Perhaps this Lack is the cause of the tremendous Success of the play which is breaking All records wherever presented. High water Mark beached.
