"A fire, that at one time threatened seri.
Gus consequence, occurred here last Thurs
day evening. A lamp, lett standing by an
aged lady, Mrs John Bowman, in her room
exploded while she was in another portion
of the house. But for the timely discovery
and aid Of Mr.. Thomas Straup, who aroused
the folks, and rushed up stairs and subdued
the flames, the house would certainly haye
been consumed. The loss was not very
great.
"A broken rail at the end Of the new
cinder dump caused the precipitation of two
dirt cars and the small cinder engine over
the bank. The L. & s. RR. wreck car sci
things to rights again in few houis. The
engine was considerably disabled.
--Uriah Shelley, whose parents reside in
East Penn, came here last Thursday even
ing from the coal regions, he was unacquaint
ed with the road to town, and iell into the
excavation made under the l.. & S. railroad
and sustained fracture of the left leg be
low the knee. He wac carried to the house
of his brother-in law, in town, where the
fracture was reduced.
"A collision occurred on the Lehigh anG
Susquehanna Railroad, about noon on We'd
nesday, at Parryville, between two passen
ger trains. Both engines were badly dam
aged. The engineer of the down train had
orders t0Arun TO Parryville regardless of the
up train and the conductor and engineer o
the latter train were ignorant ofany sucl
orders.

"Tho Tailor Makes the Man."

Since the tailor makes the man, it must
be evident to the most easy-going mind
that the best tailor makes the best man.
This, Of course, must be taken with limit
ations. However, it is fact admitted by
all, that as a man must have clothing he
might as well have it to ft him neatly and
made in becoming style as to have it dis
guise him against all recognition by his
friends, as it too frequently does. For the
purpose then of having their patrons praise
them because of their becoming appearance
and well-made garments, Clauss & Bro, the
popular merchant tailors, of Lehighton
make point to give their customers per.
feet fits and garments we'll and ar.istically
made. Artist in clothing themselves. they
are satisfied only when their patrons are
satisfied, and their purpose is to come as
near perfection as can be. The stock of fall
and winter goods is very large, larger than
most merchant tailoring establishments
carry, and much larger than can be found
in any Of the tailoring stores, and being
gentlemen of taste the style Of their goods is
a prime consideration with them. In ad-
dition 10 their immense stock Of merchant
| tailoring goods they have fnll line of boots
shoes, hats, caps, and gentlemen's furnish
lug goods, TO which they invite the.llten-
tion of their patrons aud the public. Prices
ully as low as the same article can be got
anywhere in the State.

verdict Of approNal. Unlike many Of the
pronounced dramatic successes Of recent
years, it appeals only to the better and purer
feelings of human nature. 1t does not derive
its claims from impurity or pander to a de-
PRAYED taste. The company that will appear
in Hazel Kirke includes many Of the leading
favorites OF the original caste of the plsy. 1t

iul scenery and all its properties, down to the
smallest accessories. 10 short, Hazel Kirke

The Anthracite Coal Trade.

Philadelphia LEDGER, 4th inst: The an
thracite coal trade is beginning to put on its
winter garb. The demand continues geod,
and the domestic sizes are in great request,
owing to the recent cold snap, which has
increased consumption. This cold weather,
however, is interfering with production, as
the coal cannot be handled with the facility
shown in warmer seasons. The winter hay.
ing begun the stoppage Of some Of the col
lieres is looked for. Inquiry at the office
Of the Reading Coal and Iron Company,
however, shows that no instructions have
yet been issued for any stoppage Of their
works; that the supply Of coal is much
below the demand, and that the de-
mand for the East continues urgent, not
withsta uding the stifTening of the freight
market.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad reports 6s,-
$40 tonnage for the last four days Of No
yember, making its aggregate coal tonnage
for the fiscal year 6,257, ,l59, compared with
5,79l ,376 for the previous year, an increase
of 465, ,7S3 tons.
The Pottsyille Miners Journal of Friday
says "The demand for all sizes Of anlhra.
site coal, except broken and pea, continues
good, and for those for domestic use, for the
line and city trade, the demand is greatly
in excess of any previous month of the year.
This is accounted for by the change 10 the
weather, which has largely increased CON
sumption. The broken and pea sizes will
not be in much demand before next spring,
manufacturers have generally secured their
stocks for the winter. The cold weather
which stimulates consumption, seriously
interferes with production, as the coal can
not be handled at the breaker with as much
facility in winter, as in milder weather, As
the winter season seems to have fairly set
in, we may look for a stoppage OF all the
collieries whose operations can be dispensed
with without embarrassing the needs of the
consumers"
The total tonnage of anthracite coal from
all the regions for the week ending Nov. IS,
as reported by the several carrying compan-
les, amounted to 6sl,7ll tons, against 6O6,-
1876 tons in the corresponding week last
year, an increase of 1856 tons. The total
amount of anthracite mined for the year is
26,2S2,637 tons, against 25,2O5,l44 tons for
the same period last year, increase of 9s7.
49S tons.
For the 4 days ending on the 3Oth ult A.,
$3.50 tons of coal was transported over
the L. V. RR., making total OF 6,257, ,I59
tons to that date, and showing an increase
Of 465, 1888 as compared with same time last
year.
For the II days ending Nov. SOth there
were l57,7O5 tons Of coal shipped over the
L. q s. RR., making total to date of A.
22l ,O36 tons, an increase as compared to
same time last year of 56,S76 tons.
