Genealogy OF Disease.

A London doctor writes an article for
The Standard on the genealogy Of dis
ease, especially as related 20 intermar-
rage, in which he asserts that if cancer
and consumption wed, there is scarcely
a hope of the offsprings escape from ear
w death, OF lifelong misery from cancer,
lupus, consumption, tuberculosis Of the
brain, epilepsy, diabetes from nervous
injury, OF some variation or combina.
ton Of all three and that the intermar'
rage of rheumatism and consumption
is productive of hydrocephalus and dis
eases of the bony framework Of the
body, such as the hip.joint disease 80
common among weakly children. Con
sanguinity, therefore, viewed in this re-
lation, is to be regarded a intensifying
the risks Of transmitting certain mals-
dies, such as those above referred to
this, however, only because there IS 4
chance Of near relatives, such as cousins
being tainted with the same family

Buying mp Coal Lands.
For the past two o. threc months there
has been a lively scramble among the lead
ing ,,oal companies iar the possession Of coal
lands in the Wyoming and Lackswanns
Valleys, and during the past few weeks
several large and valuable tracts haYe been
purchased. The Delaware, Lackswanna
and Western Company has distaneed i's
competitors in the value and extent Of the
property which II has secured. Ono block
of355 acres was bought from ex Congress,
man L. D. Shoemaker, of Wilkesbsrre, for
$3.50 per acre. Various other tracts. in all
aggregating about 1000 acres in the vicinity
Of Kingston and plymouth, have been
bought up by the company's general super.
intendent Of the mines, Mr.. W. r. storrs.
There is also rumors Of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company buying up some valuable
property.
The Lehigh Valley Road not only runs to
Pleasant Valley, half way between Wilkes.
barre and Scranton, but already there e
talk Of completing the road 10 Scrantoul
This will necessitnte the construction 81
about six and half miles Of road. In case
this plan Is carried out the Lehigh Valley
would then be able to compete with the two
"ther roads running into Scranton, namely,
the New Jersey Central and the Delaware,
Lackawsnha and Western, and would como
in for a large share Of the freight traffic from
the UPPER valley.
President Dickson, Of the Delaware aud
Hudson Canal Company, 1t Is also reported,
has made several large purchases Of valu.
able tracts Of coal lands Of late, and is look
ing around for more.
The plan Of the local corporations is 10
obtain all the available land before Wander
hilt puts in an appearance, as they do not
believe the story that the railroad king does
not want to obtain control OF the Genital
Railroad OF New Jersey.

Explosion Of Sulphur.

Michael odvich and Joseph Moroski
Polish miners, while working together in q
breast at the Pennsylvania Gallery, near
Mt. Carmel, Saturday morning, discovered
the presence of sulphur. The men were
using safety lamps and left the breast to
take some means TO clear it. odvich re-
turned shortly afterwards and entered the
breast for the purpose of brushing the sui.
phur out. This being accomplished, as he
thought, he called to Moroski to come in
As soon as the latter entered the breast the
sulphur ignited from his lamp snd'caused
a terrible explosion, which carried both
men . considerable distance down the
breast, burning them terribly about tho
face and hands. Udvich's injuries are con.
sidered fatal, while Moroski may recover.
