DisrINGUisHED VlsIroR.--The local sem
sation of the week has been the visit Of
Hon. Daniel o. Barr Of Allegheny county,
Democratic candidate for State Treasurer.

and was met at the depot by delegation Of
prominent Democrats, including Hons. Ro-
bert Rlots, Allen Craig, Judge Brodhead,
District Attorney siewers, Recorder Phillips,
Commissioner Gallagher, A. L. scheetz,
chairman Democratic county committee,
and others. The honorable gen tleman was
escorted to the American hotel where, after
an hour Of pleasant interchange of opinion,
he took the train for Wilkes Barre. Mr.,
Barr is now making q tour Of the mining
districts, coming hero by wny Of the Schuyl-
kill region. Everywhere he meets with the
most enthusiastic welcome. lie is quite
sanguinc Of carrying his own county, and
to do this, it will be necessary to overcome
Republican majority of over 1000 cast
last year. He will get large gains in oil the
counties adjoining Allegheny, while he will
literally sweep the mining districts. Gov,
Ioyt is reported by unquestionable author
ity to have said that Barr will gain 5000
over Dill's vote in Luserne and Lacka-
wanna counties. These gains make his
election an assured fact, unless he is counted
out, as the late Judge Packer was for Coy
ernor by the Philadelphia "ring."

The Coal Trade,

There has been Il fair business, but it has
not been so large as last week. Prices have
been close to the average of the last Scran-
ton sale.
We publish this week correspondence from
all the leading centres, showing that the
outlook for the coal trade is very favorable.
Some of the companies announces an ad-
vance Of prices; but the statement is accom-
panied by the explanation that they have
orders ahead for about the entire month, and
that they would, probably, have asked high
er prices even had there been no combina-
ton meeting. Other dealers report prices
unchanged; and coal can still be purchased
at last weeks rates.
The impression is all but universal that
the proposed combination will not last, it,,
indeed, it comes into existence, and as Mr..
Packer of the Lehigh Valley, has exhibited
mastery inactivity worthy of the late
Judge Packer, he has neither signe' the
agreement nor signifed his intention Of do
ing or not doing so, The present probabili-
ties are that he will leave it alone, and that
the combination plan will come still born
into the world.--Eag. and Mining journal.

Caught at Last

Mrs. Julia Sehabo, better known as Julia
Weiss, who has had her headquarter in
East Weissport, has made for herself during
the past few months, local notoriety for
her artiul peculations. One forenoon, some
weeks ago, Miss Lizzie Kramer, milliner, of
this borough, discovered that some sneak
thief, by ways that were dark, had man
aged to take from her store, during business
hours, several valuable articles Of trimmings
including ostrich feathers, etc. At the time
suspicion centred very strongly upon julia
Weiss, but she succeeded in impressing Miss
Kramer with her innocence Of the crime,
and the matter was allowed TO drif on.
On Thursday Of last week, during the alb
sence of Mrs. Al. HulIord in ALLENTOWN,
some one ioreibly entered real window of
her residence, and took therefrom several
articles of wearing apparel, etc. Mrs. Huf
ford suspiciOned Julia, and she swore out a
search warrant which was placed in the
hands Of Constable Webb, and he found in
Julia's possession not only the articles stolen
| from Mrs. Hullord, but also portion of the
| goods stolen from the store Of Miss Kramer
| She was arrested on two warrants charging
iorcible entry and larceny. She was ar
raigned before Justice Beck, admitted her
guilt, was bound over to the Court of Com.
mon Pleas, and in deianlt Of bail was com.
mitted to Jail. She is young woman, but
as this is not the first time her sins have
found her out, her prospects 10 try little

Hon. Robert Klotz, IN his emulation,
has not yet forgotten the printer. On his
return from his Indian Hill farm, on Mon
day afternoon, accompanied by Mrs. Klot2,
he paid his compliments to the editor Of the
ADVOCATE, and presented us with large
basketful of the handsomest and most deli
cious apples (two or three varietics) we have
seen or tasted this season and in addition
two monster radshes, which were really
vegetable curosities. They were of the kind
known as the black Spanish. One of them
measured in length 20 inches and 10l inches
in circumference. The other was of the fiat
variety, and measured 20 inches in circum-
ference. Who can beat it2
The fifth annual exhibition of the Car
bon County Industrial Society this week has
been well patronizcd, especially was this the
case Thursday-the trains both ways COM

The political situation here presents no

arrive. The ADVOCATE and Mauch Chuah
Democrat, are in good demand, we see con-
siderable comment on the expressions made
by candidates Esser and Rooms one didn't
desire any Republican votes to elect him,
and the other could not vote for aDemocrat.
Well what of it, the Democrats will vote for
Esser and the Republicans for Koons. Sup
pose these gentlemen did make use of the
expressions attributed to them, it won't make
any difference on election day. The Demo-
Gratis know their ticket is a good one, anu
the Republicans think theirs is. The party
that polls the most votes will win, and no
sane man imagines that the Democrats are
going to be defeated in the couDty-nixy.
