The Coal Regions,

A dispatch, dated, Scranton, Novem>
her 2Srd, to the N. Y. Sun. says The
labor market in these two valleys is
glutted. Scranton has population of
10000 cannot now give steady employ
ment to three thousand men. Carbon
dale, sixteen miles distant with popu-
latiDn Of $4,000, cannot employ one
thousand, and SO It is all along the Lack
awanna valley. In Wyoming valley
the situation is little better, If we may
except Plttston, where the works of the
Pennsylvania Coal Company are kept
running in full blast. This is the most
successful coal corporation in the Uni.
ted States. Below Pittston, however,
where the coal worke are operated by
different Companies, the state of affairs
is not any more encouraging than here,
in and pear Scranton. In the Wilkes
larre region thousand Of men are out
Of employment. In the face of long
and dreary winter, with large, helpless
families, what wonder that men are
dnsponde1t and easily urged to the
commission of crime!
"The mines OF the Delaware and
Hudson Company in both Iie Wyoming
and Laokawanna valleys are running
only on three.fOurth time, and th e pro-
b'lity is that they will within few days
reduce to half time, as the supply of
coal is far in excess of the demand.
Thus far the shipments of coal made by
that large corporation falls over half a
million short of that shipped at the cor
responding period last year, and every
one knows that even last year was un.
profitable for the coal trade, The COM
paGy's canal at Honesdale, over which
large shipments of coal are usually
made. will be closed in few days, and
shat vii, swell the number OF the unem-
iieymenh

We clip the following items OF inter-
est from the Scranton City Journal, OF
the 21st inst:
The coal works generally througho ut

ters time. The Co.'S shops and the
Dickson Manufacturing Co. s are work
Ing eight hours day, and the pros

An old man named John Kles, fell
dead from heart disease in the yard of
the ID. l.. e. w. II. r. Co., in this city
on Saturday morning, while running to
catch a train. He was mason by
trade, ABOUT siyty-three years of age.
and in company with his son was on
his way to his work, and the excitement
of attempting to catch the moving train
brought on the attack of heart disease
to which he was subject.
DR.. @. B. Brodbent was arrested on
wednesday and committed to prison on
default of 80 900 bail at the instance of
the Scranton Medical Association,
charged with practicing medicine and
surgery in this city contrary to the
act of assembly in reference to the quail
fications of physicians. The Associa-
tion, however, afterwards withnrew the
complaint on condition the DR.. would
,eave the city, which lie has according
ly done.
A German named Long, residing at
Petersburg, in the Tentt. Ward of this
city, died in the terrible agonies of hy-
drophobia, on Monday morning. lie
showed symptoms of the disease on
Saturday morning, being conyulsed at
the sight of water, &c. Drs. Gumbert
and Winters were called aud decided it
to be clearly developed case of hydro
phobia. The cOnvusions increased
rapidly in frequency aud severity, and
helingered until Monday morning when
death came to his relief. He was
young unmarried man aged about twen-
ty- eight years.
George Leonard, fireman on the ex.
press train on the ID. l.. 81 w. r. r on
which the express safe was robbed last
week, was arrested on Saturday at Del
aware Station, by S. Ii. Stillwell, on
Suspicion Of being connected with the
robbery. 1t seems that on the night of
the robbery he left the engine at the
Junction and returned to Delaware
Station on a coal train, evidently to Sc
cure the hidden spols, aud on Saturday
came to ScTacton. There seems to be
little doubt of of his guilt. The total
loss by the robbery was S5, 400, instead
OF Sl2'OOO as at first reported, ..
On Saturday afternoon as N. G. Ward,
recorder of the mayors Court of Scran.
ton, was on his way home from the
court, he was approached from behind
and struck severe blow upon the tenn.
pie by a ruffian named Mcclure, which
knocked the judge down among a nile
of dry goods boxes, McGuire than ran
but was pursued by Judge Ward, who
quickly recovered himself, and a off,
Ger who witnessed the assault, and was
soon captured. McGuire is now in the
county prison.

The Iron Men.

On the 10th inst, a call Of tile pig
iron manufacturers of the Eehigh VAL
ley was issued, requesting the gentle
meR representing pg-iron companies
and manufacturing firms to assemble
ia the rooms of the american Iron and
Steel Association, in Philadelphia, Nov.
gath, In pursuance of the call, we'll
attended meeting was held.
Mr.. w. II. Ainey, of the Lehigh Iron
Co., called the meeting to order. Mr..
G. Dawson Coleman, of the Lebonan
Furnaces, was elected chairman, and
Mr.. Geo. w. Cope, secretary, Mr.. Rec
yes called upon its authors to express
their views.
Mr.. Ainey proceeded to address the
meeting, He said that tn 9 neces sity of
the call arose from the condition of
affairs in the Lehigh Valley. 1t was
evident that if pig iron furnaces went
on producing, ruin must result. He
suggested the form alton of an "Iron-
mongers' Exchange" a central body,
with branches iT producing centres, to
fix the price of pig iron. With the ex-
ception of one company, the production
had been only ohe-half the capacities
of furnaces. The Allentown Iron Com.
pany lad run full all the year. If all
the companies had run on shorter time
the situation would have been better to.
day. There was about third of the
usual demand except from pipe mills.
Various opinions were offered as to the
most proper and wise to pursue, but
the general feeling was that it is utterly
impossible to keep the number of fur
naces In blast at present in operation,
and in the course of a few weeks the
result will be that large number must
be blown out as there is no demand
whatever for iron.
Mr.. Ainey then offered a series of
resolutions, which were adopted,a as fol-
lows:-
Resolved, That It must be self-eyi>
dent to all furnace owners that the large
reduction in the demand for consump-
ton OF pig.iron imperatively demands
corresponding reduction in the amount
produced, and that continuance OF the |
present over production cannot fail to
result In accomplishing the ruin of the
trade.
Resolved, That 1t is the opinion of
thls meeting that an earnest effort ought |
TO be Immediately made to accomplish !
the reduction of the make of pig iron. |
al d with this view committee be ap-
pointed to devise some plan to that end. |
Resolved, That the chairman. pro
TEN, of the pig iron branch of the Am
erican Iron and Steel association be re,
quested to call meeting of all the pig
ltoh manufacturers of the country at the
rooms OF the association on Thursday,
December 10, 1874, at II O'Clock a. m.
Resolved, That committee In each
OF the several districts classified in the
list of iron works be appointed to wait
upon the furnace owners therein. and
urge their attendance at the general
meeting, and ascertain the views of
those not able to attend.
The chairman appointed as the COM
mlttee named in the resolutions the fol-
lowing:-William II. Ainey, Allentown;
O. S. Kaufman, Columbia; G. W.
Whitaker, Hellertown; ]. b. Moorhead,

Typhoid Fever aud Hygiene.

Sir William Gull, in lecture on ty-
phoid fever, recently delivered at Guys
Hospital, argues that the disease IN as
preventable as ague, and that time will
come when deaths from it will be as rare
He says it is caused BY virus OF nature
which may get into the healthy body,
increase in it, and destroy it. 1t is an
accidental condition, and not one of the
ordinary processes Of nature. The origin
of the disease is somehow or other con
nected with drainage il has therefore
been called the filth fever, and to get rid
Of the filth. is 10 get rid Of the fever.
DR.. Guy asserts that no one can approach
a case of typhoid fever without paying
some attention to hygiene. This, he
claimed, was Of the greatest Importance,
and with il he would prefer to carry any
one through the disease by wines and
soups and fresh air, rather than by
the use OF drugs.

All the ut-buildiDgs should have a
good coating Of this purifying aPpllca-
ton. Nothing contributes more to the
cleanliness and healthfulness Of stables,
pig-pens, sheep-folds and poultry-houses
than this wash. 1t is made by Stacking
a peck of lime in tub, and adding two
ounces of glue thoroughly dissolved IN
boiling water, and stirring both IN as
much water as reduces them to consls-
tency which viii admit of applying them
with brush Here is q receipt highly
recommended for a wash for inside work,
but we have never used it, and do not
know its origin 1t is probably worth
trial: White chalk is the best substitute
for lime as a wash A very fine and
brilliant whitewash preparation of chalk
is called paris white. This we may buy
at the paint store for three cents pound,
retail. For each sixteen pounds of Paris
white we procure half a pound Of the
white transparent glue, costing twenty
five cents, fifty cents a pound. The
sixteen pounds of Paris white Is about as
much as IA person will use in day. 1t IS
prepared as follows: The glue Is covered
with cold water at night, and in the morn
ing is carefully heated, witaout scorching,
until dissolved. The Paris white is stirred
in with hot water to give it the proper
milk consistency for applying to walls.
and the dissolved glue is then added and
thoroughly mixed 1t Is then applied
with brush like The common lime white
wash. Except on very dark and smoky
walls, single coat Is sufficient. 1t is
nearly equal in brilliaacy to zinc white, !"
a far more expensive article.
