Pltmoüth, Pa., March 28.- Dodson colliery, one of the greatest in the coal fields, owned by John Shenk & Co., of New Ycfrk, is in danger of total destruction. Water is breaUing irto it fro .1 abandoned workiugs. The mine is connected with a vast nuniber of oíd works. The water has gained such headway that the work of the purnping mac .inery seems to be of no avail. The suspension of the colliery means a total loss of work to 800 men and boys. _
