Torches were procured and Mess. Allen and Gain Hurst were lowered down by means of a w in lass. It was about sixty fc?t from the surface to the floor of : the cave, which they found to be level and sandy, as if it was once the bed of an ancient subter ranean stream. They followed the main avenue for a distance of over .two miles and discovered an opening in a cliff on the farm of Benjamin Wilson, and a well beaten path wm once trod by human be ings, although It is now in many placet covered with forest trees aud under growth. Allen and Hurst, after emerg ing from the cave, hastened back to town and reported the result of their discover ies. A Urge party was at once formed, which entered the opening of the cliff on the Wilson farm. On one of the main avenues numerous evidences existed that the place had been the abode of cave men, as numerous relics were found lu the shape of pottery and bronze articles.

The bringing of express (Omiiauiea within the provisions of the ioti r'ate commerce act is found to be practicable, and on some accounts d sirable. Express companies, which are simply branches of railroad, organised and opcratim? through it ordinary stall, or by an tntic- pendent Durcau.or by combination witn other railroad companies, are found to be covered by provisions of the act. in case of independently organized express com psnies, however, operating under con tracts for transportation, the language of the act, as it now stands, is toun 1 to be so framed as not to bring them distinctly within the provisions. The words "wholly by railroad ' in the first section, do not well d3ne the business of expreMi com panies, which use very largely the services of teams, messengers, stage coaches and steamboats.

After dark he front on the part of the railroad officials was a gteat surprise to the leaders and the rank and file of the strikers and caus ed considerable indignation. The strik ers thought the company would only in sist upon the discharge of disobedient employe s, and that the men who were so summarily dismissed would not be dis turbed. The determined attitude of the railroad company annoyed the men and made them very stubborn, and they threatened to renew hostilities. Mo-st of the men were at work along the wharves, but there were not a few idlers. They gathered at various meeting places aud excitedly discussed the situstion. Some of them roundly denounced the Reading officials for what they termed the "persecution' of their leaders. Reading railroad Knights of Labor at SUamokin declare, that tbey will not re turn to work until their discharged asso ciates at that place are reinstated. Three train crews of non-union men sre at work, but there are 35 loeomntives there with ut crew. The coal miners in that local ity are alt idle owing to a lack of trans portation facilities. Railroad strikers, however, declare that the miners will go on strike as soon as requested to do so. Oood order prevails amoog the strikers. Chairman Lee, of the executive com mittee of the Kuights f Labor, revoked the order to go to work, and once mors talltd out Philadelphia andRt ading men. The lact that about thirty members ol thu Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineer! obtained engines held by tho Knights ha made the feeling between these par ties very bitter, and probably 800 new hands have been employed in the place oi old ones and sent to points where thej were needed. At noon the whistles of one of thf engine was blown five times, as a signal to stop work. The crews of seven of tht cngiue heeded the signal and put out thf d'et.

Over 700 coal bandlei left the yaru and b a lers .said tbay obeyed an order tc strike and the superintendent add thej bad gone home on account of the rain and intended to come back again.

It has, in addition to these, .UK ilnkerton detectives and private police men scattered around the coal pier ami vd-imiy.
