Carbon, Aprit Session. 1880:
The Grand Inquest of the Commonwealth
Of Pennsylvania, inquiring for the County
Of Carbon, in all matters relating TO the
same, do respectfully report:
They have acted upon nine bills of in
dictment of which eight were found true
bills and one ignored.
We beg leave further 10 report: That we
have visited and inspected the county build
ings and find the county Jail and county
buildings ia good condition. We also in
spected the East Mauch Chunk bridge, and
find the repairs in progress. We respect.
fully call the attention OF the Court tU the
jury rooms and the accommodations therein
iurn shed, as we believe they are inadequate
for the wants Of the jurymen. We also
recommend that the Prothunotary's office be
built in the vacant lot adjoining the Court
House.
We further report that, as the Constables
Of Kidder and Nesquehoning report that the
roads in their townships are in a very bad
condition such action may be taken by your
lIonors as will effect a remedy. Our atten-
ton has been called to the bad condition OF
the new road leading from East Mauch
Chunk to A. Chfistman's. The constables'
reports from nearly every township in the
county show that the handboards are not
all up. This is an inexcusable negligence
of the proper officers, which creates consid
erabie difficulties to the travelling public
| We also call the attention of the Court to
| the condition of the road leading from
Weatherly Borough and Packer township
and suggest that railings be placed on that
/ portion Immediately opposite the L. V. r

call the attention Of each and every con,
stable throughout the county as to then

The failures for the first quarter of the
present year, as will be seen by the above
table, number only 1892, with liabilities of
only $I2,797O74. These figures are cxcep-
tionally small, and show a decrease in the
number of casualties of nearly one half, as
compared with the first quarter of any pre-
vious year since 1874. The liabilities are
less than they were ever before reported in
any quarter since the commencement of the
publication of quarterly returns. 1t is a
fact full of significance that the indebtedness
of failed parties in the first three months of
sine present year do not equal one fourth of
the sum to which they amounted in any
Grst quarter in the last preceding six years
As time progresses the figures relating to
failures seem to indicate q steady continu-
ance of favorable conditions for the trade OF
the country.

The above table shows large shipment,
and, In our judgment, it will be somewhat
difficult to make any very great increase in
many OF the months during the present
year. From all sources we learn that the
demand for general manufacturing pur-
poses will be greatly increased over last
year. For iron purposes alone it is esti-
mated that at least one million tons addi-
tional will be required, and when the def
cheney up to the present time is added to the
increased requirements for the future it
makes an aggregate which it may be prac-
tically impossible to reach. If we are right
in our conjecture the present is the proper
time to buy coal, and those who defer pur-
chases may have to pay dearly for their pro-
crastinatlon. One of the very best features
of the trade is the entire unanimity with
which the companies are acting in the mat
ter of production and prices, and since the
troublesome question Of q division of the
total tonnage into quotas has been practi-
cally abandoned and the plan Of total sus.
pensions of mining for fixed periods unani.
mously adopted for the purpose OF prevent
ing over, production it seems to us that the
future prosperity of the trade may be con-
sidered as assured.-LedgGr, 18th.

The CnnlTrniic.


On Monday last, the 9Th instant, the
several anthracite companies commenced
full shipments of focal the period of restricted
production having expired on Saturday,
April Sd, up to which date the total ship.
ments from all sources were 44l 900 tons be-
hind those to the corresponding date last
year. During the month of March the stock
on hand was reduced about 10000 tons.
We have to report fairly aetiye market for
the sizes of GOAL used for iron and steam pur-
poses, and the dullness usual at this season
of the year in the demand for the two sizes
used for domestic purposes. The equaliza
ton Of the price of stove coal with that of
the larger sizes used for steam purposes has,
however, created some demand for the
former size for making steam, as many
manufacturers are willing at the same price
to take stove coal in lieu of broken. We
learn from all sources that the companies
are determined to store their stove coal
rather than further reduce the price, as it
must soon rapidly advance, due to the fac +
that so much less will be made this year
than lest. The great increase in the porpor
tion of the larger sizes of coal necessarily
involves a corresponding decrease in the
quantity of the smaller sizes, and we be-
lieve it is variously estimated that from 90
to so per cent less stove coal will be made
this year than was made in 1873, and as there
has never been time when the entire
amount of this particular size of coal was
not readily sold it follows that such great
restriction in the amount made will make
stove coal very scarce later in the season
and many shrewd operators are expecting
prices for this particular size to be from one
dollar to one dollar and fifty cents higher
than now. 1t is quite important that all
interests in the trade should at the opening
of navigation understand fully the pros.
poets for the year with reference to demand
and supply. AS above stated, the deficit, a;
compared with last year,is AL 500 tons. The
following table shows the monthly produc.
ton for last year after April lst:

letter in the New York "Timcs,' try
ing to make Il horror out Of thc Glca-
ton difficulty which occurred on last
Thursday.
"Paysan" has given, in to-day s
issue, true statement Of the case,
which is substantiated by both white
and colorcd witnesses.
1t appears that the matter was en-
tircly personal, and had nothing to
do with politics or race, whatever.
1t is Il matter that is likely to occur
ut any gathering of people, and cs-
pecially where whislley is too freely
imbibcd. But it is the plan of the
Republicans to magnify and make
capital out Of everything they can,
and Mnckcy has eagerly picked up
this affair to carry to the outrage

or third parties of any kind. No nat
ter under what flag they serve or
what battlccry they utter, their vote
is against us if it is not with us.
Consciously or unconsciously, they
are working for our defeat.
There may he among good men,
candidates and the friends of candi-
dates, a keen sense Of personal wrong
and political injustice Just claims
may have been ignored, and faithful
services forgotten. These are Incl
dents inseparablc from political life
and contests; but the remedy is not
III lulicwarmncss; not in resistance
to the popular will; not, above ALL in
alliance with enemies to defeat
friends. The State may be safely
trusted sooner or latter to do Justice
to all her sons, but it is equally sure
and certain that the Just and weighty
judgment Of the State will fall upon
those who in the hour Of peril, forget
ting their duty, remember only their
personal wrongs, or prefer their per
sonal ambition to the public good. If
there be any such, we appeal to them
in the most earnest and friendly
spirit, rs they value their own good
name, their hopes Of usefulness in the
future, the respect of their fellow
citizens, "rthr peace and prosperity
OF the State, to rise above all thoughts
OF self and unite heartily and zeal
ouslv with their Democratic friends
and comrades in Il common effort to
save us from the danger and degrade
tion Of Republican rule.

Democrats of Orangcburg in this
campaign. The next issue of our
paper will record either defeat or a
victory-which shall it he?
Let every man ponder seriously
this question between now and rlcc

black days Of Republican asccndencv
when thieves and robbers held high
carnival?
Can we afford to let this govern
ment fall back into the degradation
and corruption from which the Dem
cratic party has lifted it? We don't
believe tive can't bclivc il.
Fellow Democrats, it is not a fight

dishonesty, between civilization and

dcntally shot
Resolved, That the masses of the
Democratic party dcplorc the said
act, and hold themselves blamclcSs
for its occurrence, and that they will
do all IN their power to preserve or,
der throughout the county.
Resolved That as Il token of our
sympathy in behalf Of the said
Caesar Harrison, we take up contri-
button from this club and forward
the amount to him as soon as practi-
cable; and VIC recommend other
| Democratic Clubs throughout the

Resolved, That these resolutions
be published in the County papers.
Ia reference to the third resolution,
q cash fund OF ten dollars was raised
instanter, and Mr.. y. VI. Sallcv, ST..
appointed to take the amount to the
wounded man. 1t is proper to state.
that only twenty members of the
club were present, or no doubt Il
larger amount would have been
raised.
The facts Of the difficulty which
gave rise to the foregoing resolutions
arc these: a white man who had i'm
