The Coal Trade.
Last Mondays Philadelphia Ledger
Gays! The favorable change In the state
of the anthracite coal trade noted by us
last week progresses slowly. While
there Is nothing like "boom" expected,
the market for anthracite Is likely tc
steadily improve, and better prices fol
coal are anticipated, AS stated In Sat
urdsy'a Ledger, the Lehigh and Schuyl.
kill Coal Exchanges have agreed 10 max
an advance of 10 cents per ton on
anthracite, to take effect October LIST.
This advantage applies to the line and
city and harbor trades, The October
prices for Schuylkill white ash coal ~
Schuylkill Haven Will be: Broken, egg
and chestnut sizes, S2.eo; stove and
small stove, s2,s5; and pea, 81. Our
latest advlces are that there will proba-
bly, be no further voluntary restrictions
of mining this year. The carrying COM
panies are now endeavoring to discharge
all the loaded cars In transit or ct tide,
In order to supply the demand for cars,
some individual operators complaining
that they have more orders for coal
than they can obtain cars in which to
carry their coal to market. The total
production of anthracite this year to
September 10th Is nearly million tons
more than two-thlrds of the total allo:-
ment for thS entire year 1885, and is less
than half million tons behind the out
put to the corresponding date last year.
1t is expected that next months tonnage
will be heavy, and It ls possible that the
quota of the year, allotment for October,
$3.50, 900 tons, may be exceeded by the
actual output in the endeavor of the
carrying companies to make a good
showing of tonnage if not Of profit. The
Reading Company's stock Of coal at
Port Richmond on Saturday was l22, 900
tons of all sizes. OF the above $4,000
tons were stove and small stove, 81, 600
'S4'o SASov4iUt, oAAu Nv WV tOliS pea CQdI'
The stock of broken coal had been re.
duced to 1000 tons aud of egg to 800 tons,
there being vessels at the wharves with
orders for more broken and egg--the
latter of which is very scarce with the
Reading Company-than could be had
Immediately. The shipments by the
Reading Company from Port Richmond
last week largely exceeded the receipts
of coal at that point. There is said to
be more encouraging inquiry from the
East, vessels being scarcer and the
demand improving, particularly for
special cosls. The line AMI city trade
is reported in better shape than at any
previous time within the past six months,
and advanced prices, 1t is claimed, ere
being obtained.

Fx-Treasurer Kesuler's Answer.


Sydney Kessler, the accused North
ampton ex, County Treasurer, has filed
his answer to the petition for a rule to
show cause why re-audit of his ac-
counts should not be had He main
tains that there are no irregularities in
his accounts, that he did not defraud
the county by crediting himself with
jurors and witnesses fees not actually
paid and that he did not procure the
County Auditors who settled his ao-
counts TO report in any other manner
than according to the actual state of his
accounts. He says that there was no
appeal taken from any of the reports of
his accounts in the three years of his
Office and prays that the petition be dis
missed at the cost of the petitioners.
His counsel filed reasons and moved to
dismiss the petition. The reason set
forth is that the petition is not specific
as TO the amount the county has been
defrauded Of or as to the jurors and
witnesses whose fees Kessler is alleged
TO have Appropriated, that il is uncer-
tain an eyasiye AMI that the prescribed
time TO obiecting % his accounts after
settle@snt has expired

two young men, who had attended a
ball Monday night given by the Lieder-
tafel Society, at Wilkesbarre, drank
freely and, becoming boisterous. were
elected from the ball room at about

to have satisfaction out of some one,
they laid in wait. Charles fischer,
accompanied by his wife, came along
soon after, when they rushed upon the
former with clubs and brutally assaulted
him. Being satisfied with their revenge,
they fled, leaving their victim almost
lifeless upon the sidewalk, Mr.. fischer
was removed by the police 10 his home,
where he died during the afternoon.
His assailants have been arrested and
are now in Jail. Mr.. fischer was a
tailor by trade and was highly respected.
Great excitement prevails among the
dead mans friends, who swear vengeance
