CLAYMoNT, Dec. 15.-During the last
Geek the SNOW covering tue ground has
kept the birds from their regular food
and made them very tame and hungry.
On small space where the SNOW has
melted over a dozen meadow larks were
seen a few days ,go. The snow has also
prevented the gathering of ice, which
would have been of fair thickness but for
this cause.
Our young people have improved the
time in sleighing. The merry jingle Of
bells have been heard on every hand, and
Cupid has no doubt been active with his
piercing arrows. As the boy wrote in
his composition "Sleighing is the most
pleasant season of the year if You have q
gal"
Business is first-class at the Claymont
-four mills, which are running night and
day to fill the orders on hand. This is
the first time for long while that il has
become necessary to run the mill at night.
The many friends of A. j. Hyland con.
gratulate him on his promotion to assist
ant trainmaster. Mr.. Hyland is we'll
known here, as he served several manths
at one time as substitute station agent.
Whether as an agent or conductor, he has
always made friends by his uniform
courtesy and urbanity, and his promotion
is fitting testimonial of true merit.
W. w. Coles moved yesterday to Lans-
downe, Pa, where he will make his future
home. His Claymont greenhouses will

The PenmsYivnpta's New ShoII
Line TO the Anthracite RegiOn.
The completion Of arrangements by
which the trains of the Schuylkill divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania railroad connect
with those of the Lehigh VALLEY, sffrds
the shortest and most desirable route 10
the very important points in the greatest
mining section of Pennsylvania. The
Schuylkill division of the Pennsylvania
railroad is fully completed to New Boston,
and is one of the most substantially built
roads in the country. The road-bed is in
the best condition, and with the standard
equipment of the Pennsylvania railroad
very fast time is made over the entire line.
The route itself Is very interesting. 1t
traverses tho whole length of the Schuyl-
kill valley, with its many picturesque
glimpses Of thriving towns and fertile
fields, and ns it approaches and finally
climbs the mountainsof Sehuylkill county
there is ouispread view of the mining
industries of the state, which cannot 10
surpassed anywhere. From Potts vile 10
Delano, the point of connection with the
Mahanoy division Of the Lshigh Valley,
the road Rscends the mountains at q grade
of 1G6 feet TO the mile. This is the very
heart Of the domain of King Goal. Coal
breakers appear on every hand, sur
rounded by mountains of coal dust and
refuse of the mines, and by the cabins of
the miners, grouped about in picturesque
ugliness. The machinery puffs unceaslng
puffs, the cars crawl up and down the in.
clines on their endless Journey delivering
their burdens of black diamonds TO the
transportation lines in the valley beneath.
1t furnishes picture Of oeassless in
dustry, and gives an excellent idea of the
magnitude of the anthracite supply and
the manner Of its handling.
New Boston, Mahanoy City, Ashland,
Girardville, Shenandoah and Mt. Carmel
are the principal centres of this section.
They are towns where work is supreme.
Coal is king, and he rules his subjects
with the one purpose Of maintaining his
natural supremacy.
The competition of the new line brings
them into closer connection than ever
with the outside world. Il is but days
ride from Philadelphia to 20 and return,
and to tine business man this is q matter
Of the greatest importance. The traii 8
are run TO accommodate every class If
travel and there is little doubt that the
business relations between the eastern
cities and this section will rapidly and
greatly increase.

A FALL IN STOCKS.


An Exciting Scene nj tns New York
stock Exchange EO-daY.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
New YORK. Dec. 15.-The scene at the
opening OF the stock market this morning
was one OF the widest ever seen on the ex-
change. For several minutes the entire floor
was crowded with knots OF brokers surging
from one side to the other all seemingly
bent on selling stocks.
Prices dropped with such rapidity as to
demoralize brokers who had buying orders
and little heed was paid to fractions in
making sales. The greatest crowd was In
Reading, which closed last night at 42l,
opened q per cent lover and was sold
down in few minutes to S7s. Richmond
d West Point closed last night at
40 and opened this morning at
3S and within q few minutes
was selling at SO. Hooking Valley, which
closed last night at 35a, opened at "a and
declined to 281. Western Union closed last
night at III, opened at 10 and sold ut 69t.
London buying orders were cabled over for
heavy blocks of stocks and helped to sus-
tain the granger and trunk line securities.
It Is understood that the movement is the
result Of big combination against the
bulls which engineered the late large ad-
vance throughout the list. Trust compa-
niles controlled by friends of the bear leaders
are said TO have started the break by call
ing In all loans on Reading.
