HOFFMAN SLOPE.

Mr.. Editor In my tour through
some of the mines last week visited
a portion of the upper lift of the
Hoffman slope and had pleasant
chat with the inside boss, James
Sloan. I found that he was over
crowded with men, having the most
of the Pompey miners working with
him, making the whole number over
two hundred. But he is doing the
best he can for them and hopes to
get rid of a portion of them as soon
as the Pompey mine commences work.
There are nothing but pillars left
in this mine. | found miners work
ing out as far as No. 5 heading.
There is large amount of coal to be
taken out of a large pillar standing
between this mine and old Pompey.
The old rooms are all we'll timbered
and the heading roads are being put
in repair and made safe for drivers.
The ventilation is good. Mr.. Sloan
gives all his spare time and attention
to the safety of the men under his
charge. I know of no inside boss in
the coal region that has worked
harder the last seven years than our
friend Sloan. The miners under him
have had remarkable good luck dur
ing that length of time, taking into
consideration the amount of coal
shipped. THOMAS Brown.

MEYRRSDALE AFFAIRS.

MEYERsDALE, Pa, Mar. 2, 1881.
Mr. Editor The Smiths miners
at Salisbury, Hoghill miners and big
car Toms miners are still working at
fifty cents per ton and at,sder.
The Hooking miners are on strike
on account of the reduction.
The Keystone company had no.
tice put up at their mine last week OF
reduction Of thirty cents per car, to
take effect the first of this month. l
understand that as the men intended
to strike on account of it the notice
was left to pass by for the preGen
and they were working yesterday the
same as before. If bookings men
start at fifty cents they will be re-
ducsd right away.
There is no sign of the Shaw mines
starting as yet. Everything is stand
ing idle. When it does start they
will want new hands as the men are
nearly all gone.

GENERAL ITEMS.

REGULATIONS FOR THE LENTEN
SEAsoN.--Lent began last Wednesday,
and will be faithfully observed in the
Episcopal and Catholic churches. The
most Reverend James Gibbons, Arch
bishop Of Baltimore, has issued the fol-
lowing regulations to be observed.
|. All the faithful who have COM
pleted their twenty-fist year are, IN.
leas legitimately dispensed, bound to
observe the fast Of Lent.
2. They are to make only ore meal
day, excepting Sundays.
8. The meal allowed on fast days lie
not to be taken till about noon.
4. Flesh meat and fish are not to be
used at the same meal during Lent.
5. A small refreshment, commonly
called collation., is allowed in the
evening net to exceed the fourth part
OF an ordinary meal.
6. 1t is permitted to use bread, but
ter, cheese, eggs, milk, all kinds of
fruits, salads, vegetables and fish at the
collation..
7. General usage has made it lawful
to take in the morning some warm Ii

quid, as tea, coffee or thin chocolate
made with water, and a mouthful of
bread.
8. Necessity and custom have au-
thorized the use of hogs lard, instead
of butter, in preparing permitted food.
9. The following personsare sxemp-
ted from the obligations of fasting:
Persons under twenty-ons years of
age, the sick, nursing women, those
who are obliged to do hard labor, all
who, through weakness cannot fast
without great prejudice to their
health.
10. By dispensation the use of fresh
meat will be allowed at all meals on
Sundays, and once a day on Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
with the exception of Holy Thursday
and the second and last Saturdays of
Lent.
II. The faithful are reminded that, be-
sides the obligation of fasting imposed
by the Church, this holy season of
Lent should be, in an especial man
ner, time of earnest prayer, of sor-
row for Sins, Of seclusion from the
world and its smusements, and of
generous almsriving.
IL. The Paschal time extends from
the first Sunday of Lent till Trinity
Sunday, during which time all Cath
olics who have attained the use of rsa-
son are bound to prepare themselves
to receive worthily the Holy Commu-
Mon. The holy season OF Lent is a
very proper time, also, for children
to go to their Firat Confession, which
they ought to do generally when about
seven years Of age. Parents should
gee to this.

WHAT WILL 1T BE THEN d?

Mr.. Editor In reading an edito-
rial in the Aileganian, Feb. 25th, I
was amazed at the audacious tone Of
the editor. Listen to this:
So far as Cumberland is concerned, the
sooner her people learn to depend on their
own labors, home industries, manufactures,
and so forth, and take tho coal trade as a
small additional quantum, the better it
will be for her.
New | wish to know what are the
industries to which the above alludes :?
What factories and public works has
she, from which to support herselfH
In the above paragraph the AIle-
ganian virtually admits there is no
coal in Cumberland. Yet farther on
in the article the editor says:
Cumbcrlan cannot compete with Clear
field, because the miners there haYe not
the stamina of ours.
We are aware of the fact-"Cuns-
bsrland cannot compete with Clear
field" for she has not a solitary
ounce Of soal to put on the market,
and never had, and never will have,
except what is shipped there from
other points. But "our miners, tour
coal outlook" "CHnsberland opera
tives," and such expressions are
soothing suphemisms to the AlI!ga-
nian editor. We would be amazed
at the pompous assurance of some
people, editors especially, and the
Aueganian in particular, did We not
remember that he kept 20 close to
his sanctum that from personal obser-
walton he did not know where the
coal that passes through Cumberland
is mined. He surely thinks it is
mined under Cumberland, and the
site for the Insane Asylum,
Of one thing We can assure our
friend of the Alleganian, "our mi.
nars," with their stamina" are able
to take care of themselves, even if
Clsarfsld miners do black-leg. The
stamina" of "our miners" is their
manhood.
will close by asking the Cumber-
land gentleman one question-when
the new road is in running order and
hauls coal to the junction ; from there
over the Short Line TO Philadelphia,
never touching Cumberland, will the
coal they carry be called Junction or
Philadelphia coal? QU1D NUNc.

Well, while they were in the flesh they
were three of the best abused men in the
country, save Gen. Jackson. II the Ma
tim means to say that there are no such
men at the present day, we disagree with
it. Every age and every nation has its
great men, the chief difference being in
the circumstances which develop and
bring them into prominence.-West min-

Quite true, as per labor troubles in
Pennsylvania. Judge Hunter in
Westmoreland and brother Smith in
Somerset, have been dumped upon the
public notice as roaring lions seeking
where they may devour some knights

ECKHART SLOPE.

FRosTBURG, Nd, March l, 1881.
Mr.. Editor Twelve months ago,
from the date Of this letter, work was
commenced on the repairs of the Eek
hart slope. 1t is unnecessary to de.
scribe the condition of this opening
at that date as it has appeared in
your columns before. Suffice it to say
that the water has been drained off
to the depth of seventeen hundred
feet from the mouth Of the mine,
leaving still three hundred feet of
water at the bottom of the slope,
which leaves the lower south head
ing still drowned out. The idea Of
the superintendent was to make a
con lection with the north heading of
the Hoffman slope, and for that pur-
pose he commenced heading near
tho tail of the water to fssl his way
through the old rooms of the lower
south heading. But the course of
this heading soon run it into tho wa
ter and it had to be abandoned; a
new one was started further up from
the water has been driven rapidly
forward clear ofthat clement, and made
connection with the heading coming
to meet it from tho Hoffman slope on
the morning of the Goth ult. And
taking the disadvantages into consid-
Grafton that the management had to
contend with, along with the inaccu-
racy of the plats of the old workings,
they made COOL strike AZ the two
headings met on line within four feet.
The distance between the two slopes
being Elk thousand and eighty feet,
the length has been driven in double
quick time by practical miners in a
workmanlike manner, under the i'm
mediate charge of Daniel Krapf from
the Eckhart side, and latterly under
the charge Of Philip Mcmahon from
the Hoffman side, and without an &C.
sident. This large amount of terri
tory opened up will be subdividsd by

COKE REGION MINERs-Some of
the miners in the Pennsylvania coke
region refused to go to work on Tues
day because the operators had paid
no attention to the notices posted up
demanding an increase from 30 to 30
cents per wagon. At Painters, Dia-
mond, Standard, Besssmer, Rising
Sun and Morewcod mines number
of tbs miners stayed away from work,
but Thursday the men at Werewolf
and some of he other mines resumed
work as usual.

Great disappointment and appre-

Thursday over the prospects Of a

the capital no such elaborate prepare
items have been made for the display
and grand parade.
These fears were realized. At ii

had fallen to depth of three inches
and was still falling, with high wind
prevailing. This unfortunate turn of
the weather married the great display
and occasioned much discomfort to
hundreds of thousands of people.
