Tho production (ostimated) Of 1879 ,yaa $780,
6o3 tons over that Of 1871. This largo incroase
Ia accounted for in part by tho fact that III 1872
for tho first timo III Boveral years, tho work Of
mining anthracite coal in Pennsylvania was
prosecuted without tho Interruption Of strikes
through tho whole year. It is found that tho
incroase in consumption has equallcd that of
production, and, from, data deemed rcliablo, 1t u
estimated that tho inorease Of consumption in
1873 over that OF 1879 will bo noarly, If not
quite, as great as the latter was over that Of
1871. OF this coal, 7,5t3,1 lis tons wero trans
ported from tue mines by tho Reading Railroad
Company, which now owua or controls 1856
miles Of ainglo track. It's receipts for transpor-
tation, based Of, tho tonnnge Of tho main limo,

After the passage ofthe cight.hour law by
Congress- the Government stone cutters In Rich
mond continued for some time to work, as re-
nuired, for ten hours. They now claim that
they are entitled to pay for the extra work done.
In some cases it amounts in the aggregate to
more than a quarters pay. The accounting
officers of the Government have decided against
such applications, aud the cutters will probably
have to bring suit to have the question decided.
The Gordonsvile Gazette says Two banks
have been organized 10 town during the past

ident and Howe Cochran, esq, of Charlottes-

The case of Page McCarty, charged with
killing Mordecai in a duel, was called in Rich

his condition was no better than when he was
shot, the case was continued till the 10th OF

A Sad Story.
I Frankfort lky.l Yeoman August %.

Frankfort (ky.) Yeoman August 81.
We learn from Mr. f. j. Settle, Of THIS coun.
ty who has been running saw mill at Sand
Rifle, in Henry county, the particulars OF one
of the saddest tragedies in connection with the
recent visitation of the cholera at that place
that has come within our knowledge. At the
time of the first cholera panic at Sand Rifle,
the Eddington family, consisting Of Mr.. aud
Eddington and their four children, left the
place and fed with the rest After short
time, however, they returned and took posses
sion of their dwelling, which is situated direct
" against the cliff in the valley of the Ken
lucky river, which is very narrow at this point.
Within two or three days after returning, Miss
Eddington, young lady of some seventeen or
eighteen years, took the cholera at 10 p. NJ.
and died 10 four hours. Her brother-in-law,
Mr.. Shelton, who waited on her during her
sickness and afterwards sat up with the corpse,
was taken the same day and died within few
hours Mr. Eddingtons son, young man of
nineteen or twenty years, with some difficulty
obtained wagon and team With which to con-
vey the body of his dead sister to the place OF
burial at Union Church, six miles distant, hay
ing previously sent forward request to some
friends to have the grave dug He was fol-
lowed by his father and mother and the two
Younger children ln another vehicle. On their
arrival in the vicinity of the church they not
only found that the request to have the grave
prepared had been neglected, but the people
residing there refused to permit them to enter
their houses. The young man took the coffin
containing his sisters body to the church, and.
after depos.tiDg it therein repaired to the resi-
dence OF an uncle few miles off, but by the
time he arrived there he was so far gone with
the cholera that he died n a few hours. Mr..
Eddiugton, with his wife and two children,
went short distance from the church to an
unoccupied house recently vacated by its own
er for new one. BY this time all four were
sick with the fearful disease, but it is believed
that soon after entering this unoccupled house
its owner came about nine or ten o'clock at
night with loaded shotgun and with threats
of instant death drove them. out They, too,
were then compelled, sick nigh unto death as
they we're, to seek shelter with the dead body
of the daughter in the church, and there be-
fore daylight the next morning, the two chill
drcn died Later some good Samarltans from
from the ncghborhood came forward, and al
Ter performing the Offices of burial Tor their
children took Mr. and Mrs. Eddington to their
homes where they finally triumphcd over the
fell disease and were restored to health.

A correspondent Of the New York Tribune
in discussing the late accident on the Chicago
and Alton road, in Illinois, notices that al
though both trains seem to have been running
at full speed at the time the collision occurred,
and neither discovered the other in time to
check its momentum in the least, it is re-
markabc fact that very few passengers were H.
jured in any way but by scalding, and that the
regular passenger coaches and sleeping cars OF
the express train remained on the track unln-
iured. He believes that there were no "tele-
scoping" and consequent, destruction Of lite is
due to two precautions which he noticed recent
~ when riding over the Alton road. The first
of these is that every passengercoach and sleep,
ing car on the train was supplied with improved
safely platforms, some kind of which ought to
be used on every passenger car on every rail-
road, and the other is that the coaches are
fastened together by means Of bolts, which
make the train one solid mass, so that the
shock Of the collision was distributed evenly
through all cars.
