Coal ITEMs.-Prof. P. W. Sheafer
says will the supply of coal dust
fail ? No for there are over 100000
900 tons ofit now lying waste in Penn
sylvania around the mines, and the an
ndal production is about 100000
tons. Will the price Of it increase as
soon as there is demand for it /? No
for it costs the companies quite cum
annually to haul it away to the hills,
and it can easily be sent to market,
and as the daily supply will much
more than fill orders for it some miners
must still haul to the waste hills.
1t is good coal? The miners say it is
the best as It'll the softest aud purost,
being free from stcne or slate.
Bituminous generally quiet, with
considerable GALES being made at all
shades of prices, according to quality
of coal and its availability-spot coal
sells cheap. Cumberland tonnages
growing into considerable proportions,
and now on a level with last season.
Increase is expected by the entire
trade. For steam raising, there is an
advantage in the use Of Bituminous
at the relative cost delivered between
it and Anthracite.
Clearfeld continues to turn out
heavy tonnages and is now running
a quarter of million tons ahead Of
last years output.
The miners at the Drummond col

A LOOK AHEAD.

COMING EVENTS CASTING THEIR
SHADOWS BEFORE AND GROWING TO
BE THE MOST INTERESTING OF ALL
QUEsTIoNs.-The interest in the sum-
mer and fall elections is commencing
to crop out, and within a month the
chances of the different aspirant for
the suffrage of the sovereign people
will be discussed pro and con with
constantly increasing animation. The
all potent argument as to the party
probabilities will be the figures of
the last contest, and none will be
more earnestly canvassed than those
of the congressional struggle, and this
being the fact, the new B. & 0. Red
Book congressional edition becomes
almost indispensable. No publication
of political statistics ever made equals
it in extent Of information given, or
in comprehensive arrangement. 1t
shows not only the result of the cleo
ton of 1880, but the result as well of
the election of 1878. The Republican,
Democratic and Greenback vote for
the two elections is presented sep
arately and comparisons made of
gains or losses of the different parties.
Total votes are also the subject of
comparison, and this exhaustive show
ing is made of every congressional
district in the Union by counties.
The book is one of one hundred and
twelve pages, is marvel of typo
graphical beauty, being printed upon
an elegantly finished paper, and the
cover is one Of the most exquisite
things in the way of artistic design
issued for many year. The Red
Book is B. g. 0. publication intend
ed for something above the ordinary
circulation, and to this end is sent
only where requests are made to O..
X. Lord, G. P. A., Baltimore, Md,
for it by mail and enclosing three
cent stamp. The Red Book will thus
be mailed to all who may write to
Mr. Lord for it, and certainly those
who receive it will not part with it
for almost any money, so excee ingly
valuable text book is it for all who
ara interested in or care aught for
political statistics

COUNTRY Newspapers The follow
ing is what the Cincinnati Trade
List thinks of those who complain of
their country papers IA gentleman
writes to US that his county paper is
so poor that he has stopped it, there
fore sends us three dollars for the
Trade Last. We repeat that we don't
want subscribers on these terms. If
the county paper is properly encou'
ragged, it may be relied upon for in
formation of more value to the people
in whose interests it is issued than
can be found in all the city papers
in the United States. No man can
afford TO be without the paper that
furnishes the official advertisements
of his county, the public sales, mar
kets, court news, and other local in
telligence. If the paper is poor. the
people are moro at fault than the
publishers, for not giving 1t local
patronage. However poor the county
paper may be, it is always worth
more than it costs to those interested
in the affairs of the county.

THE Shot Line maintains that they
were INSTRUCTED at every point while the
other road asserted that the point of eros
sing was selected for spite and not for the
best interests of the road Times.
1.-THE other road" may assert what
it pleases. But in the face of common
sense it cannot get the public to credit
u pretext 80 transparent.
The truth is, the point of junction
desired is the very best for the
convenience of both roads. 1t is a
point moreover where the Baltimore
and Ohio is most secure. 1t enjoys
here a fortunate juxtaposition of a
fright of way" owned by the Cumber-
land and Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany upon which no encroachment
can be made With this power in its
hands the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pels the new road to cross its tracks
before it can demand a connection.
Some writer says the strength of a
fortifcation is exactly equal to its
weakest point. The new road man
agement selected, however, not the
most unsafe or dangerous, but point
strong in itself and supplemented for
tuitously by the property rights of
friendly company. Hence, if they
had been controlled by motives so
upmeritorious they could have found
place of equal inconvenience and
danger unhedged by one obstacle GER
tainly insuperable as long as it is in
hospitable.
Notwithstanding the charge Of
"spite," let us keep firmly in mind the
fact that the new road people are
asking for both crossing" and ICON
nection." WhyP Because the Bal
timore and Ohio, besides charg ng
them with "spite," permits them ia
ask for nothing less; this places them
before the Board Of Public Works in
the attitude of seeking too much,
How is this? Because the Baltimore
and Ohio will not yield, or rather will
not allow the Cumberiandand Pennsyl-
vanis to yield the new road passage
across corner of its right of way to
make connection avithoat crossing
We ask and answer these questions
not altogether to show how the new
road is forced by the Baltimore and
Ohio into an attitude which the same
Baltimore and Ohio is pleased 10 say
is one of "spite," but to make plain
to the people, if we can, precisely the
status of the case as it stood yesterday
morning.
Probably they should be assured,
also, that the crossing will be
made, convenience or no convenience,
danger or no danger. 1t may take
al the year to do it, but it will be
done. The time has not come in this
country when any corporation can
finally overcome and subjugate the
people. 1t may come, but it has not
come yet.
Again as to the matter Of spite" 1t
would have been "spite" to want a
crossing, or connection at any point.
There is not a convenient or safe
place for such purpose along the en-
tire length of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. There has not been for
years; there never will be. The
charge spite will not hold water
no, not all the water TO be found
yelling up from the uncertain depths

Fatal Explosion,

BUFFALO, April IA large boiler in the
Phoenix boiler works, owned by Donaldson
d Patterson, exploded this afternoon, instant.
ly killing 7 men and ~wounding 7. Patterson,
one of the proprietors, was among the killed.
Manufacturing boilers is their business while
a specially is testing old boilers. The old
boiler belonging to the tug boat Mary E..
Fercey, in use % years, was being tested
when, without apparent cause, it burst. The
works were one hundred feet long, eighty
feet high, and forty feet wide.
Patterson was, with the pOnderous mass of
exploded boiler, hurled across the. street and
through a solid board fence TO which a por-
ton of his entrails and fragments of the
limbs chung, while his legs were recovered so
yards farther away. The others killed were
scattered in all directions.
The force of the explosion was so great
that windows in buildings nearly a half mile
away were blown out and many people in
the houses in the vicinity were thrown to the
ground. Tables we're overturned and win
dovs demolished, and the adjoining buildings
shaken to their foundations.
Large pieces of exploded boilers were sent
hundreds of feet in the air, and falling went
through the roof of the Wells elevator, over
800 feet away. The lone of the boiler was
thrown 100 feet in the air and landed half a
mile away.
