pearance and only sixteen years Of age.
The friendship thus commenced soon ripsn-
ed into love and he became her accepted
suitor. The day Of the marriage was set and
great preparations made for the event.
The day of the wedding arrived, but
McGready had fed to parts unknown. Tho
young lady was almost heart broken over
the sad disappointment and has been in a
precarous condition ever since. When the
truth became known McGready was se-
verely censured and had he been discovered
at the time he would undoubtedly have
suffered bodily harm at the hands Of Miss
Mays friends. .,1,-

The Time Ball.


The time ball on the new Packer building
Mauch Chunk, which was placed there by
the direction Of Judge Packer, was dropped
on Thursday Of last week for the first ime
and will hereafter be dropped daily from
New York at precisely the hour of noon.
Philadelphia time. The clock is rated by
daily comparisons with the clock in the OBJ
servatory at Washington, aud, in addition,
frequent comparisons are made with the
clocks in the o5servatories at Cambridge,
Mass, and Allegheny. City, Pa, and is new.

made by means Of chronogrsph, an in

The Coal Trade.


The Philadelphia Press sums up the state
OF the coal trade as follows:
The coal market does not vet exhibit the
signs Of OF activity and strength which
were anticipated upon the opening Of fnavi.
Cation and the issue Of the Spring circulars.
In fact. the demand has not failed 10 keep
pace with the increased production, and in
order to maintain prices the large cOmpan.
les have been compelled TO stand by while
sales Of outside Goals were made under their
noses at prices from ten To thirty cents be
low the schedule. More inquiry inr stove
coal is reported, but broken and egg are
still accumulatlng, and have not begun to
moye off as fast as was koped.. The eondi-
ton Of the iron trade is beginning to cause
some apprehension among cnal urodueers.
So far no anthracite furnaces have gone out
Of blast, except tor repairs, but at the pres
ent price of labor, aud the prevailing low
rates for iron, it will be impossible for mills
and furuSces to continue at werk without
piling up their product at cost above the
selling price. Until the future Of the irsn
market is assured the coal market must be
more or less irregular, and il is probable
that s0me Of the older furnaces will take
advantage Of the market 10 make repairs
aud put in new machinery, which will en-
able them To reduce the cost OF ma king iron.
The suspension of six days a mouth will
continue until Iurther notice. The bitum-
inous coal market has not yet shown any
activity To warrant the large increase in OPP
eratiOns indicated by the heavy purchases If
lands during the past winter and spring,
Large consumers are slow about making
contracts, aud the price Of freights will haYe
more TO do with the price Of coal than ever
before. The Clearfeld operators are still in
the dumps sbout rste for rail freight,
which puts than at = disadvantage Of 6Vs
10 twenty cents a ton as compared with
their Cumberland eompetitors, but the lat
ter have mt succeeded ss yet in getting any
large number Of contracts, even with this
odds in their favor. The demand from the
West is expected To be good. hut there is .
