graphic account of fire in that place
The startling alarm of"Beaver Meadow is

About midnight, on Thursday, Of last

Walp, at Packerton, which burned the bull

small L. V. Railroad repair shop, whieh
was also destroyed with its contents, cans;s-
ting of brass and iron fixtures for cars. Sew
eral coal cars, standing on the track were
badly damaged. Mr.. Walp's loss is seri-
ous one, there being no insurance on the
property. The FIRE is supposed to have been
communicated to the building by sparks
from an engine on the L. & S. road, which
passed up shortly before the fire was dis
covered.

THE ELECTGnN.-The election in this bo-
rough cannot be said to have been a quiet
one, as that word is used in connection with
elections. The two parties polled a fair av-
erage vote for an off year. For State Treas
urer the Republicans cast comparatively
light vote, but made something of a stir for
the local ticket. The county returns show
that the Republicans stole march on their
opponents by the concentration movement;
and although the Democrats carried a large
vote for Daniel o. Barr which avails him
nothing the vote is so close for the remain
der of the ticket, with one candidate de-
feated, as to virtually make the Republi-
cans feel like claiming a Victory, even in
the county. The results Of this campaign
may suggest to both parties the necessity
of reform in the matter of selecting local
candidates, by which the most popular men
may be nominated.
LIBEL SURE. II. Rauch, editor Of the
Carbon County Democrat, was arrested by
Officer Painter, on Wednesday, at the in
stigation of Albin Stolle, on a charge of
libel. The case is based upon the publica-
tion of handbill, signed by Gen. John. D..
Bcrtolettc, cuntradlcting statement said to
have been made by Mr.. StolIe, charging
Paul Krrsge with being deserter from the
army. The poster charges the complain
ant with uttering the slander in a political
harangle near Parryville, on Saturday eve
ming, Nov. |. If Mr.. Rauch published the
handbll and complainant did not make the
declaration, and the case ever comes up for
LITIGATION, it wi, give the Court and law
y an opportunity to crack a tough legal
/ nut. The defendant waved examination
refore Justice Frisbie, and gave bail for his
appearance at the higher Court.

received a very severe wound on the left

Making 2j,7OOOOO tons
From 26,OOO, 900 to q, 100000 tons, careful
estimatcrs say, must be considered the eX
treme limit of the capacity to produce and
ship to market, and If 25 100000 tons are
taken this year. without leaving trouble
some stock on hand at the end of the year,
it is believed the anthracite coal men can
abandon all ideas ofthe necessities of com
binuiion and turn their attention to the
pleasant duty of making money out Of their
business. When anthracite was a drug and
companies loaded down with fixed charges
for carrying anthracite property had TO
struggle for existence, there were few gene
raj readers who ever thought Of anthracite
except as something which was produced in
quantities 50 greatly in excess Of the de.
uIand as to render its owner an object of
commsseratiOn, but now, when "a change
has come over the market. people are begin
ming to think, and great deal Of attention
seems to be devoted To the question of the
real value of anthracite lands, and to the eX-
tent of the supply stored up for future pro-
ductiOn. We venture 10 say that most peo-
pie will be surprised to learn that, though
the United States contains over l9O 900
square miles of btuminous coal lands,
there are but 470 square miles of anthra.

OI tue DltulllnOuS area. WIN hOoul OlJJ
square miles of btuminous coal land Great
Britain produces about 10000 900 tons Of
coal, so that the production of PENNSYLVANIA
anthracite per square mile is already much
greater than that of English coal, and we
cannot but feel that after an annual output
of twenty eight or thirty millions is reached
anthracite may become an article Of luxury
for domestic purposes, leaving the great flu
ture supply for commerce and manufacture
to come from the bituminous fields, except
for the favored localities which are in proX-
unity to the anthracite basins.
The anthracite trade looks better than at
any time before the present year. The de-
mand is active, aud an advance in the price
Of coal, which has been decided upon by all
tie companies gnes into effect to day, and
most of the circulars have already been is
sued. The aggregate advance ranges from
% to so cents per ton, the latter being on
stove grace. The principal check in the
trade is the trouble found in getting boats,
which are now mostly engaged in moving
grain. It is said there is a greater scarcity
of boat room at this time than there has been
for four or five years past. The Lehigh Val
ley Coal Company have not issued any cir
cular and say thnt none will be- issued, but
that the company will "meet the market"

The Sphi Trade,

Some three or four weeks ago when IL was
alleged bv many that the coal trade was al
most IN drticuiO mortis, and that nothing
short of what would then have been looked
upon as a miracle, viz, the assent of the
Lehigh Valley interests to some plan Of CO.
operation would avert impending dissolution
we ventnred to suggest that if the profession
al gentlemen in attendance upon the patient
did not quickly get through with their con-
sultation the invalid would recover while
they were quarrelling over the discussion Of
the remedy. The remarks then made have
since proved to be prophetic. The coal trade
is booming" orders are plenty, prices are
steadily advancing, losing business has
been turned into profitable one, Coal ope-
rators are juGlant. Corporations which two
months ago had not credit enough to borrow
dollar without giving a dollar and half
as security can now obtain money on pretty
nearly their own terms, and throughout the
entire anthracite trade there are no persons
unhappy except those whose confidence was
So great in the belief that ruin would follow
the overproducton which existed IN their
own Imagination, that they sold their com
pany's coal for future delivery at September
prices, or ventured their own fortunes upon
the hazard of short sales Of coal securities,
and are, therefore, moralsing UYer the truth
of the homely couplet,
He who sells what isn't hisn
Must either pay or go to prison."
We learn from all sources that coal is
moving as freely as the scarcity Of vessels
will permit, that there are no large stocks
ON hand, and that the demand will continue
beyond the supply until navigation cluses.
Indeed, so freely is the coal being absorbed,
notwithstanding the large shipments, that
many of those most conversant with the
question of supply and demand in all its
bearings are apprehensive that 1t will be
practically almost impossible to supply more
than will be wanted next year, and that,
therefore, an easy future is believed to be as
sured to the happy possessors Of anthracite
coal lands. In round nurnGersJ up to this
time the production of anthracite coal
has been since the first of January
say Il l.2OO,nOO tons
Add for November and Deer, 4,jOO,OOO tons
