Friday afternoon the Democratic Con-
ferecs ul the Eleventh District returned home
from the Conference, having adjourned
without etiecting its purpose. There were
two organizations of the Conference, and
the following is brief extract of the pro-
ceedings: The Conferees from Montour,
Pike, Lackawanna, and upper Luzerne met
on Tuesday at ll.45, notwithstanding the
earnest protest Of the Monroe county Con-
ferees, who were desirous of waiting for the
arrival of the Conferees from Columbia, Car
bon and Luzerne proper, who arrived at IL
o'clock. The president of this organization
was Edwin Shortz, Of White Haven. No
mention was made of the organization until
ll.30. When the Conferees from the three
counties mentioned arrived aud found how
matters stood, they proposed that the hon
contested counties should meet and decide
upon the Conferees from Pike, Lacka%anna
and upper Luzerne, which were contested
This the first organization declined to agree
to. Hence the counties last arriving, united
with Monroe county and formed an organ
ization, with A. g. Brodhead as President
After negotiating fruitlessly with the first
organization the delegates from Monroe Car
bon, Columbia and Luzerne proper adjourn
ed to meet at Hazleton October 10th. At
the organization of the first set of conferees,
Monroe was invited to join, but refused, and
asked these delegates to wait until the arriv-
al of all delegates before organization, which
was in turn refused. Some of the conlerees
of the first organization, which was called
Joe Lynn's Beamish-Dr. Trimmer" meet
ing, told S. b. Price that the reason for their
not waiting for the other delegates was be-
cause they knew that these latter would not
recognize the contested conlerees (above
mentoned.) Both sides balloted for Con-
gresham, and the vote in the second organ
izaton for the last so ballots, with few ex-
ceptions, stood for Kuntz and for C. B.
Brockway; the other votes We're to 4. Mr..
Storm, of Monroe, begged the Beamish-Dr
Trimmer organization to wait just 20 min
utes until the arrival of the other conferees,
but his requests were not granted. The
second convention invited Montour of the
first organization TO unite with them, that
county being the only one of the first organ
ization which was not contested, but Montour
refused. Every one throughout the country
condemnsthe action of the first organization
in strong terms.

The Coal Trade.

The feeling in the anthracite coal trade
for the past week was moro cheerful in all
departments than it has been for several
weeks. The operators in the Schuylkill
region acknowledged good demand for coal,
and full circular prices are obtained. The
city and line trade for egg, stove and ches-
nut sizes is beyond the immediate supply
of the Reading Railroad Company. The
broken coal Of this company, which is most
in request in the manufacturing districts of
New England, has been short of the demand
the greater part Of the year. Just now the
sizes for domestic uses are called TOR, and
from the demand all around there is almost
a panic in the market. The Lchigh Coal
and Navigation Company has within the
last six weeks lessened its stock Of coal on
hand more than one half The Lehigh Vail
ley Railroad Company notices similar
condition OF business, the demand for its
coal in this city being quite heavy. Among
its recent orders is one Of 1000 tons of Buck
Mountain coal for the supply Of the Russian
steamers now fitting out at this port. As
near as we can learn the following were the
respective amounts of anthracite coal on
hand at tidewater and aaoat on Saturday,

manner, and the consequence was a great
explosion about five o'clock. Four ears
were consumed by the fire, which ragged
furiously for several hours. The train was
detached, leaving the four cars to be cousum-

the explosion crowd Of persons had con-
gregated on the roadway above the ears, and
the burning oil saturated Mr. Moritz Gieger,
burning him very seriously. His face,
hands, waist and legs are injured, and it is
doubtful whether he can recover. The fire.

ing carried across the stream and up the
