Lloyd Chamberlain Dead.

Lloyd Chamberlain, the treasurer and
purchasing agent ofthe Lehigh Valley Rail-
road Company, died early Saturday morn
ing at his residence, 3OS North Second

result of heart and lung trouble of long
standing. Mr.. Chamberlain was born in
Philadelphia in 1907 aud had been in the
employ of the Lehigh Road for ioriy-one
years. He was civil engineer by pro-
fession, and his first work, SO far as is
known, was performed under the venerable
Moncure Robinson, then chief engineer oi
the Richmond and Fredericksburg Rail.

ary, but fearing at tho time that he had
sustained permanent jury he quit the
superintendency aud became secretary ana
treasurer of the company. On the merger
of the Beaver Meadow Road into the Lehgb
Valley, in 1864, he became the secretary
and treasurer of the latter company. His
greatest value to the L4high Valley Rail
road Company was as its purchasing agent.

and by noon large number Of teachers and
prominent educators were enjoying the
wonders Of Glen Onoko. A number had
taken in the trip around the Switchback he

enthusiastic oyer the delightful ride. The
gathering was an informal one and all were
left to enjoy the beauties of nature as they

Nearly all Of the prominent teachers Of

Gators and ex teachers and directors were in

The Coal Trade.

. Although this wns one Of the short weeks
in the coal trade, the holiday coming the
day before the suspension, so that there WAS
rarely a real good days work in the mines
1t has found the large companies with
very sssniy stock on hand. This is about
all there is in the trade. The advance has
not checked orders materially, and they are
quite as numerous as could be expected.
The Eastern market is bare, and the buy
ing from there during the next two months
must be large and steady. There is a good
inquiry from the West, and there are no
stocks of anthracite apywhere. People ell
round have wearied Of waiting for the COM
binatiOn to break up, and now seem dis
posed TO buy without regard TO the prospect
or hope of lower prices. There are those
who look for steady work from this time
out, but the capacity Of the anthracite field
has increase fully 10000 tons q day, OF
about IS per cent, oyer that OF last year
and with a gain Of nearly l3 per cent in
the first half Of the year, it is hardly natural
to expect gain Of nearly 90 in the output
for the last half of the year.-Phiia. Press
