Obituary.

Our community on Tuesday evening was
shocked on learning of the sudden death OF
Mr.. William SINNERS. The facts relating
to his death are these, he left his home or
rather place where he boarded himself at
East Manch Chunk on the morning of Tues
day last TO attend to his reportorial duties Of
gathering items for the various papers for
which he corresponded. AS usual he visit
ed his general places for getting news. He
called on several OF the attorneys about two
o'clock, was in the printing office of Jos.
Lynn, and seemed lvelier than was hisusual
custom. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon
he visited the office of Z. r. Cooke and while
standing at the desk talking to Mr.. Cooke
he all at once fell over and was unconscious.
He was taken from there to the European
House, where medical aid was at once sum
moned and the physicians on viewing him
pronounced him beyond recovery, his dis
ease was apopleXy. His breathing was very
heavy and he was perfectly UNCONSCIOUS of
any one being present to attend TO his wants.
lie must bGve suffered terribly until about
a quarter, before ter. o'clock ofthe same day,
when death came to his relief. The follow
ing morning he was, taken to his home at
East Mauch Chunk where his body still is
awaiting the order of his relatives Up to
this writing little of his past life is, known.
We are, however, informed that he was born
in Frankfort, Germany, about 1880 that he
has been twice married and leaves a rnGr-
ried daughter, and a son who is at sea.
Since here he has been reporting for the
several papers and as localizer had no su-
perior.. lie occasionally wrote long and
we'll matured articles. No one in tits line
will miss him more than the different Edit
ors of Carbon County, He. was also a JUS
tice of the Peace and did considerable in
that line, he being well liked by the differ
ent attorneys. lie had his life insured for
$4,000, and if he had lived would have been
Carbon County's next Bank Assessor. We
are informed he will be buried in Northamp-
ton County, where he has son-in-law liv-
ing, and where he also lived prior to his
coming to Mauch Chunk.

To the Taxpryers Of MIlightOn.


Ma. EDIToR: l overheard pair of worn
out political nags, a day or two ago, discus
sing the feasibility and possibility of defeat
ing one of our present most efficient officials
one, indeed, against whom naught can be
said, less than that he has faithfully per-
formed his duty,-at the election for local
officers which will occur on Tuesday, the
10Th inst, Now this noble pair have had q
hand in the management of our fairs, and
during their administration, by some mis-
management, our borough became loser of
to rule the roast--these are the men that
talk about breaking the "rng," as they style
some of our old and most competent officers,
and dictate to us who shall fill our offices of
trust. Now, Mr.. Editor, as taxpayer and
a citizen, felt some, alarm when l learned
that such men again presumed to assume
control of our affairs and, feeling some in
terest in the management of our finances,
have felt it my duty, through the columns
of your paper, to arouse public attention to
the subject. Heretofore the corner, hotel
and saloon loungers have formed our tickets,
and even now they are marshaling their
hosts ~ to force a repetition of the past.
Not only the heavy taxpayers, but the
men who barely own their own homes and
have to pay tax, find are sleeping-letting
everything, literally speaking, 60 to the
dogs by their ,inaction. Will they not wake
up, until too late, to. the importance of deci-
siye action? Do they not know that the
management Of our council and of our school
board require men who possess brains, and
to have at least some knowledge of manag-
ing tinances--inoney matters, when not only
$500 or $4,000, but from thirty TO .ftty MouS-
aud dollars are to be properly manipulated
And are men who are not able to manage their
oCn .hRaacGS-men who are not able to com
pute STE per cent. interest on a $50 bond, to
nominate our tickets and constitute our pub
lie officers? Have we not already paid dear
enough, when through the incompetency or
ignorance of the the members of ono branch
Of our borough offices, the borough Is now a
loser Of some tiCo thousand dollars, in princi-
pal and interest? Let the men who held
office at the time stand aloof-they have
proved themselves incompetent to hold office
no matter how the loss was caused. Ig-
norance is no excuse, and the signs of the
times are against them. Elsewhere bank pres
idents, county treasurers, town clerks and
tax collectors are occupying prison cells-in-
territorial or unintentonal delinquency is no
longer an excuse in such matters.
Mr.. Editor, it is your duty, it is my duty,
1t is the duty of every man, to see that every
nominees record is clear, that he be no man,
whether by implication or otherwise who
has caused or has allowed the loss of 81. of
the public money; from the burgess down
to the constable. They must be honest,
honorable, prompt and competent, or we
may have a repetition Of that $l7OO loss
of few years ago. JUSTICE.

This month, which in the temperate zones
may be regarded as the most unpleasant in
the year, has been looked upon as sort of
touchstonc ofthe season. lowering between
winter and spring, as it were, and character
lied by disagreeable weather there are many
old proverbs respecting it, such as the fol-
lowing; February fill the dyke, either
with the black or white"-that is, with snow
or with rain. To this is sometimes added !:
"If it be white, it is the. better to like"
Among the English proverbs, we ind "a
Welshman would rather see his dam on her
bier, than see fair Februeer." And from
the Scotch we have ga the months o. the
year curse a fair Februeer," We have the
Norman peasant pronouncing to the same
effect thus "Fevrier qui donne neige, bel
etc nous pleige'-that is, snowy February
is the forerunncr. of a delightful summer.
From a very early period in the Christian
history, the I'd of this month hes been held
as the festival of the Publication Of the Yir-
GIN, 1t is still holiday in the Church of
England. Its popular name, Candlemas, is
derived from the ceremony which the
Church of Rome dictates to be observed on
this day, namely, a blessing of candles by
the clergy and their distribution among the
people. There was, and perhaps still is, a
curious custom in some parts of Scotland in
relation to Candlemas day; Children make
presents of small sums of money to their
schools teachers. The master, as he is call
ed, sits at his desk with a countenance the
most benign, while the children approach
him, and in sums according to the ability of
their parents lay their offerings before him.
The boy and the girl who gave most were
respectively styled King and Queen. The
children being then dismissed for a holiday,
a procession is formed and the King and
Queen are paraded through the streets car
ried in a seat formed of cross hands, which
likely from this circumstance is called the
Kings chair.

The Foor House Project.

Parties interested in the success of the
movement to establish poor house in the
lower end of this county, should now begin
to take a little more interest in the matter !;
the day of election is rapidly approaching,
and should the project fall through, on ac-
count of the lukewarmness of its friends, we
have reason to know, from our short expert
ence on the Poor Board of this borough lie
highton), that the people, and especially the
heavy taxpayers, will have cause to regret
their apathy in the matter. The principal
reasons of the parties who oppose the meas
ure, is not because they do not believe that
we need and should have such an institution
in the lower end, but because their own or
friends property, in which they probably
were interested was not chosen for the To-
cOti4h. Such opposition to the. measure is
simply ridiculous, childish, indeed. Why
the temporary arrangement made for keep
ing the poor all in one house in this borough,
has saved to our taxpayers not less than
$1,000 Yet in this case we had no employ

5000 will fall short of meeting the demands
made upon the Overseers for relief Parry
vile is almost exhausted in her effort to
supply the means for keeping the vast NUM-
Der of persons who have and are applying
for help; while the cost of mantainimg the
poor of Lower Towamensing, so far, cost up
wards of $1,000 the present (oilicial) year.
IN fact; the cost of keeping the poor in ten
townships and boroughs, out of which it is
proposed to form the rev district, will not
cost more than $4,000, and for this sum the
Commissioners affirm they can clear one
hundred acres of the selected tract, erect the
necessary buildings, pay for the land, &c'
The gentlemen comprising the commission,
are men of integrity every one), generally
large holders of property, and Of course
heavy tax payers, and consequently have an
interest in using economy in the matter
it is not likely that such men would proceed
deliberately to increase the already oncrous
burden Of their taxation. No, economy and
rctrenchment is their motto, and we urge
our people to fair and unbiased view of
this matter and the erection of poor house
in this end of the county is a settled matter.
The friends of this project arc requested
to call at this office for tickets, which are
now ready for delivery.

The Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal trade having reached
point of harmony, unity of action may be
expected for the current year and hoped for
for many years. tits well-established fact
that there is neither market demand for all
the coal that the several coal regions can
produce nor is there tonnage enough for
more than three-fifths of the existing trans
portation capacity. This has been known
fact for several years, but has just now been
acknowledged by the several parties nte-
rested. The direct result of an unwilling
disposition to yield to the situation has been
over-production of coal, with the very natu-
raj consequence of severe loss to all parties
trying to market it. individuals, as well as
corporations, have suffered terribly. They
have not only lost on current operations,
but, beyond that, they have lost their coal,
much of which has been literally given
away, the prices in many instances not
covering mining and transportation charges.
The resolution now entered upon to stop this
suicidal business, and to permit to lie in the
mines all the coal for which there is no de-
mand, meets with almost universal favor,
and giving, as the agreement does (see lst
page, the most perfect freedom of action as
to production and prices, has in it the essen
tial element of success and long continuance.
Each of all the several parties to the COM
pact can produce when they like and sus-
pend production when they like, with liberty
to market their coal at prices satisfactory to
themselves, the chief restraint being that no
one of the parties shall exceed his allotment
of the years estimated production of twenty
millions Of tons. Prices of coal and tolls
have not yet been adjusted by all the regions,
but the present amicable feeling that pre-
walls leaves little apprehension of any
trouble on that point, or, indeed, on any
other likely to affect the arrangement The
Schuylkill operators will cease mining to-
day for fortnight, and those of the Lehigh
region, who have been stopped for week,
will resume work. The other coal regions
will halt in production much after the same
fashion, until the old stock on hand is pretty
much disposed Of The purpose of all par
ties seems to be to bring the supply of coal
down to the actual demand. Whatever
amount of coal cannot be proftably market
ed the operators have discovered can be more
cheaply carried when left undisturbed in
the mines than it can be when piled upon
the wharves, after having added to it the
cost of mining and the cost of transportation,
with the interest added to both charges. The
trade promises well for the future, and, with
proper discretion by the managers, all that
is promised will be realized.-Ledger, Mon
day.
