Mock Chunk. It IL situated on, and some
times under the Lehigh river. It is a queer

when the sun runs low, ii does not strike
Mauch Chunk at all. The people receive
their light as they do in Norway in md
winter-from reflected rays. Mauch Chunk
has the finest Episcopal church and the best
equipped hose company in Pennsylvania.
The deacons of the church are the officers Of
the hose company. The other day the FIRE
bells rang in the middle Of the sermon, and
in less than two minutes sixty four mem
bers Of the church had slung off their plug
hats and appeared at the brakes in red shirts
aud fireman's hats. A few miles down the
river from Mauch Chunk are Bethlehem

While Edward Bentz, Of the Jehigh
Mountain Brewery, was returning home
from Bethlehem late Tuesday night, he was
assaulted by robbers in the Lehgh Univer-
slty grounds. When in the grove opposite
the library building he was suddenly struck
on the right side of the head behind the
ear,with blackjack or a stone in the hands
Of some one unknown to him. The blow
stunned HIM and but for coming in contact
with large tree he weuld have fallen 10
the ground. An attempt was made by his
assslant 10 go through his pockets, but
Bentz was to quick for the robber. Striking
out with his fists, he succeeded in Knocking
d'wn, by ledge-hsmmer blow, the man
who was nearest to him. Although very
dark Mr.. Bentz discovered that he had to
fight with three persons, and, according to
his own story, he was not long in making
up his mind to knock the highway out
Of time or die in the attempt. The noise Of
the scuflle attracted the attention Of a
watchman and the robbers beat nasty re-
treat. Mr.. Bentz did not recognize any of
his assaiants.

The Anthracite Coal Trade.


Philadelphia Ledqer l4th inst: There
Is II" change to report in the cheerful and
active condition Of the anthracite coal trade
The collieries are working full time, the
output is heavier than at this season last
your, and there has already been market
ed an excess of something like coo 900 tons
above the tonnage To the same date il. 1881.
Rumors have prevailed of an expected ad
vance of coal prices on September LIST, but
they are probably baseless, for the Reading
Railroad officials, who ought to know all
about 1t. say that no action has been taken
on the subject, and at present none is con
templated. There may, however, be slight
advance of railway tolls Tor September, and
there seems little doubt that the coal trade,
both miners AMI trsnspnrters. will have all
they can do tor the remainder of the year.
No new feature, however, lie presented in
anthracite circles in this city Tor notice al
this time. At New York a slight tendency
10 cut prices is still noted, showing the I'M
r liability Of enforcing a September ad-
vance IN that market The Engineering and
Mining Journal, in reporting the New Y X
anthracite situation, says that "as matt 8
now stand the present is gloomy enong a,
but the prospects Of the future, we eaunp
help believing, are good. That we have now
reached the lowest actual paint. and that an
upward movement is likely To be inaugu-
rated. seems to us reasonable from enn-
temptation of all the points. We believe,
therefore, that to close buyers, who do not
mind carrying coal awhile, no better OPP
portunity for purchases will be offered than
now. We take this view regardless of any
threats of increasing the circular which
some % the companies may indulge in"

A Sunday Blaze in Allentown.


AT hali-past four o'clrc& Sunday after
noon the fercest fire Allentown has had for
several months broke out in an old unoccu-
pied frame carriage factory aud in a re-
markably short time the building, together
with Charles Losch's large livery stables
and a small frame dwelling, was burned to
to the ground. The Pennsylvania Hotel ,at
Seventh and Linden streets, caught fire at
the rear and its total destruction was feared
for time, but the fireman by hard work
saved it. Several brick buildings enst and
north of the burning stables were on Ere,
but were saved by the fremen. Mr.. Losch s
loss Is estimated at 81 900 to So, ,0OO on which
he has insurance to the amount of So 900 in
the Lebanon Company. Constantine Losch s
livery stables was also for time in great
danger, and his sheds were ablsze. The
total loss is placed at about $4,000. The
fire spread over nearly an acre of surface,
and the heat was intense.
