A brilliant spectacle was witnessed at st.
Clair, Schuylkill county, Thursday hi ght.
G. W. Johns & Brothers colliery caught fire
about ten o'clock, and in short time the
whole structure was enveloped in dazzling
flames that illuminated the surrounding
country to the brightness of day. For twenty
miles around the heavens reflected the light,
causing alarm all over Schuylkill county.
The fire departments of St. Clair and Potts
vile were soon on the scene, but the fire was
beyond control. The props supporting the
costly machinery were burned away and
the elevators and rollers fell distance of
100 feet to the ground with noise like the
boom of a cannon and sending up showers
of sparks that were whirled in all directions;
some of them falling on adjoining buildings
and setting them on fire. The excitement
attending the fire was intense, people rush
ing TO the scene from all parts of the sur
rounding neighborhood. In about two
hours the whole structure was destroyed.
1t was built in 1857 and employed $50 men
and boys, who will be thrown out of work.
The colliery was worth about 100000, and
was insured for S32,500. II was the only
colliery in the vicinity that was working,
and its loss is great blow to the town. The
origin Of the fire is unknown, yet it is intis
mated that the Communists are responsible
for it,

Wednesday, says the Mahanoy Record, the
whole talk on the streets was of the disap-
pearance of NJ. M. Landy collector of State
and County tax for this borough. He is
back on the payment of his duplicate TO the
amount of $500, Two of his bondsmen
Edw. German and Geo. Whitaker, having
become afraid had him arrested on Sunday
night before Squire Ketner, but on his
promising TO settle up the matter he was
again liberated and on Tuesday afternoon
he took the Philadelphia and Reading train
for the purpose, as he said TO some, to go
Pottsville and settle up this duplicate; to
others he said he was going down to Schuyl-
kill Haven and would not be back till next
day. Hence it was that some would hold
on to the opinion that he would return.
But when it became known that before GO
ing he had forged the name Of Father Ryan
TO bank check for $50 which he had pre-
vailed on John Weber to cash, and that the
check, having been presented to the bank,
was declared a forgery, then all were salts
fed that he had gone.

To Hang.

A final effort was made Tuesday, before
the Board of Pardons, to save Dennis Dom
nelly, who procured the murder of Thomas
Sanger, in Schuylkill county, in 1875, from
the gallows. A brother of the culprit ap-
peared and maintained that the condemned
had been convicted on perjured testimony,
and submitted several affidavits impeaching
the yeracity of one of the principle witnesses,
evidence. The Board declined 10 reopen
the case, and Donnelly will accordingly be
hanged at Pottsville on Tuesday next, the
respite of twenty days granted by the Gov
ernor expiring on that day.

80 years and months, and has left hus-

a loving wife and motheri while the poor

always ready with purse and time to help
the needy, a Christian by precept and prac-

Bethlehem, Pa, have organized a grand
basket picnic excursion, from all points on
the Lehigh Valley railroad, to West Point,
on the Hudson river, to take place on satur-
day, the 18th inst. The fare for the round
trip, to be $500, from Lehighton, or any
intermediate points on the Lehigh Valley

ing and historic scenery in America, passing
TaTytown, Sing Sing and Peekskill, to
West Point, when they will return. This

enjoying pleasure excursion at such rates
as to meet the convenience of many, who
have long desired to enjoy trip up the

The Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal trade wears a moro
cheerful aspect than at any time before DUR
ing the present year. The stock of coal on
hand of nearly all the companies is fast runa
ming down, and orders for coal are increas.
ing at advanced prices. As compared with
this time last year, the LehIgh Valley Rail
road has reduced its stock on hand at Perth
Amboy 100000 tons. 1t was then 1876, 900
tons it has now on hand but $4,000 tons.
The Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal Company
within the past month has reduced its stock
of coal one-half, and within ten days all of
its stock of coal will be disposed of. The
company has now no coal piled, all that it
has being in loaded cars. The Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company reports its entire
production for the month of June sold at an
advance. The second week of the voluntary
suspension of mining in the Schuylkill
region ended with Saturday evening; of
course there is no anthracite tonnage to re.
port from that district.

change. Then. all was uncertainty,
and minor issues were forgotten-
Democrats Of every grade of opinion
were forced to make common cause
against corruption and mis.rule.
With Hampton. Gary and Butler.
and a few others as the principal
tigures. little attention 1as paid to
lesser lights. and many |lunk heads
aud milk-sops managed to sandwich
into places which could have been
more appropriately filled. When
victory became assured. contrary to
the expectations of many. asid the
Legislature was convened. grave
questions of great political moment
presented themselves from day to
day. Face to face with problems
beyond their ken. many who had
stalked in. where angels might have
feared to tread. after realizing the
poverty Of their genius. fall into the
hands of dangerous and designing
associates. and were used az mere
tools to compass nefarious ends.
Issues which were not anticipated at
the election and which should have
had the full benefit Of the assembled
wisdom of the State, were decided
contrary to the Wishes of the people.
Through precipi}ate and unwise le-
gis!ation. bills-@ere passed that must
DO repealed. and much injury was
done that may never be remedicd
With such Legislature as All cx-
ample, aud with such stupid blum
ders as a warning, we are soon again
to repeat the experiment of select
iEg body to represent us. From a
constituency made up Of every shade
of color. from the dusky African to
the bIue'eyed Saxon. aVd of every
grade of intelligence, from untutored
ignorance, to a superior culture. the
choice Of our candidates is to be
made. With the most liberal allow
ance. fully one.halfof the voters must
be .classed as irresponsible" citi-
zens, and OH that account, are to be
excluded from office-holding, but not
from representation. From the other
half alone. therefore, are we to make
the selection. The great questions
now befare us are: Will the people
return any Of the wa ak!kneed who
disgraced them? Will they send
back any Of the Miss Nancys, whose
simple aud quiescent conduct made a

NuCs III 'So1 uCoou'Ct W. 1"C Pa"-
tracted state IF unrest and anxiety
which has been experienced by the
country in looking forward to the
realization of it's hopes ss to certain
vital questions of an important.
practical nature. Among other mat
ters Of National Importance. are the
repeal of the resumption act; the re-
storation of the legal tender quality
Of silver; the reform Of our revenue
laws. The periodical and discussive
debates on the questions, by both
houses, has done much to irritate and
unsettle the public mind, and make
it long for the rest and relief of the
usual summer vacation. This Bleak
House court of procedure of jam
dice vs. JarDdice has done more t"
weary and try the public patience
and weuken its faith, than all the
rumors of threatened Democratic
crusade against the Presidents title
to his scat. or the projected Rcpubli-
can revolt, which was to result in
his impeachment And yet, strange
to say. there has been ali agreeable
disappointment oil round; for while
there has rarely been session from
which the public expected and feared
80 much danger. and yet from which
they have suffered so little injury.
When the clash of arms and the
storm Of battle have subsidized. and
things once more settle down to
state of quiet repose. it will be found
that the policy of rctrcuchmcnt and
reform inaugurated by the 44th Con
gress has been steadily. though not
very enthusiastically carried out by
it's successor, and that the appropri-
alton for the next fiscal year will
exceed those of the present year by
q very small figure. if any at all.
The restoration of the the old silver
dollar has not thus far produced any
evil consequences. and the excite.
ment over the bill to prevent the re-
tirement of legal tender notes has.
in a great measure, subsidized, with
at least harmless results. Tho much
mooted repeal Of the bankrupt law
is likely to work more good than
evil. while the passage. of Senator
Thurman's bill to compel the Pacific
Railroads to prepare for the liqnida-
tioE Of the debts due the Govern
ment. is such an admirable and timely
piece OF Legislation as ought To vim
dicate the session. and throw the
mantle Of charity over some of its
bldnders. delays and short comings
