1ORRESPON NDENCE
FIRE COMPANY vs.. BAND.

1ONACONINt, MD. Jun. lSSO.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
In his issue of Jan. Sth the editor
of the Homecoming Rerieo takes occasion
to say
We fail to see wherein the Fire Company
exercised economy in hiring band from
another town to furnish music fol their pa
rade on Christmas day.
Had the editor been able TO remem.
Der guarantee made by himself that
his Uonaconing cornet) band should
turn out in our parade, or his subse
quent levy upon each member of the
Fire Company for the price of a ticket
to his bands ball, and his still later
failure to explain why his band would
not join us. he might not have been so
dull of comprehension as he claims to
be in the above item.
The facts are The two bands of
this town were invited to turn out with
us. The Wilson band decidedly de-
clined to do so. The Homecoming cor
net agreed to do so. according to the
Recieac editors guarantee. The latter
afterward claimed that each member
of the Fire Company should buy a
ticket to the bands ball as reciprocal
favor. This we did. Toward the last
day information reached US leading to
the fear that the band was acting in
bad faith, and we again sought the
editor of the Reriep. From him we
learned that 500 was their price. He
could not, or did not at least, explain
how his guarantee became worthless.
We gave the Homecoming cornet
band an invitation on Dec. I'd, 1855.
and have received no official reply to
our invitation up to this date. We
succeeded, however, in employing the
Gilbert band, of Piedmont, and this
is how we came to exercise economy
in hiring band from another town."
&c.
In another place the editor says:
The parade on Christmas day was small,
but it made q creditable appearance The
Cumberland organizations, as usual, stayed
at home. Our Fire Company should remem-
Der this and act accordingly,
AS we have shown, so also did the
Homecoming organizations stay at
home" Furthermore, we are trying
to remember the fact, and by this pub
lication to have the people remember
it. For the people of Homecoming
have made the cofnet band what it is.
They have purchased uniforms and in
struments time and again, and the re
suit has been high prices for music
and no favors.
The Fire Company acknowledges
with gratitude patronage from the
same source-the public. But it feels
that 1t Is organized and sustained for
purpose specifically good-the pres
ervation of property. 1t hopes for no
opportunities to exercise this function,
yet if called to duty at any hour, day
or night, it will be its pride to exert
itself to the utmost.
Therefore, it feels keenly the want
of accommodation and appreciation
shown by the bands, especially the
Homecoming cornet. Very respect
fully, LoNAcoNING FIRE Co.

In regard to the eastern soft coal

meeting was held in Philadelphia on
the 25th, at which there was Il very
earnest discussion of the situation !;
the endeavor was to bring about if at

which there should be a better price
obtained for soft coal. 1t was sup,
posed that all parties concerned were
willing to 60 into u money forfeit
scheme to bring about such a result,
but in order to make the affair of even

There is a suspicion that another
railroad contract has been taken, but
we have been unable to confirm this.
The movement to harmonize the
entire bituminous interest is still

B0ston.-The feature Of most in
terest in bituminous coal is the agita-
ton of all rail shipments for the pur-
pose of breaking up the Vessel Own
ers' Associations monopoly. We
understand that the matter is con
sldered by the railroads here with
reference to their own supply, and
more particularly by the Northern
and Eastern bound roads. 1t is re-
ported that at least one prominent
official has said that he IS willing to
60 out of his way to break down those
features of the new bill of lading that
are deemed oppressive by the rail-
roads.
In matters of CONTRACT, no import
ant move is going on. There is much
unwillingness to name prices, except
in confidential way, to customers,
on account of the bill of lading
obstacle. Shippers are afraid to
name last years delivered prices, and
buyers will have nothing else. That
is the situation. F. o. b. prices are
of no avail in taking business.

THE EIGHT Hour LAw-At a re-
cent meeting of the committee on
labor Of the House of Representatives
statements were made that the spirit
of the eight-hour law was being open
ly violated. ignored or evaded in GER
tain of the government departments,
and Chairman O'Neill was empower
ed to present to the House resolu-
ton of inquiry directed to the various
secretaries, asking in direct terms
whether the law was being enforced
by them. Pending the introduction
of the resolution, Mr.. O'Neill sought
an audience with the President.
which was granted, and lasted over
an hour. On the matter Of the
eight hour law the President said
believe that the law is sound and
good, and that it shonld be enforced to
the letter. | have no information re-
garding Instances of its violation or
evasion, but if such instances are pre-
sented to me I will see that the abuse
is remedied and the full spirit of the
law enforced, which | understand to

employ for eight hours work daily

government cannot afford to set the
example of enforcement and nom
observance of its own enactments. |
appreciate the effect upon the mechan-
les of the country of the constantly
increasing use of labor-saving ma
chinery and l can think of no more
practical relief for the unemployed

it of the public lands. l do not hesi-
tate to say that | am heartily in favor
of any feasible plan for the encourage
ment and assistance, if need be, of
prospective American settlers upon
the public domain by the general
government.
In this connection the President
expressed some very radical views
upon the subject of the occupation of
vast tracts of public land by foreign
capitalists. The President seemed
desirous of -impressing upon Mr..
O'Neill his willingness to heartily
cooperate with Congress in any eff
forts it may make to elevate the
working class and improve the social
condition of the breadwinners.

THE Coal OF WEST VIRGINIA,

THE COAL OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Major George Shut, of the U. S.
Geological Survey, who travelled in a
buggy over 1000 miles in this State,
in referring to the quantity and value,
has the following to say:
1t is a safe estimate that over this
area (about one-third of the State) the
workable veins reach six feet. 1850
superficial feet constitute an acre. A
cubic foot of coal is assumed to be n
bushel, hence, six times that amount
(vix: 6 times 42,56W, would represent
the number of bushels Of coal to the
acre. The royalty on coal, in accessi-
bic regions, is one cent per .bushel ;
but estimating at one-fourth of cent
on a bushel, an acre of coal produces
1868. There are GAO acres to a square
mile, and West Virginia has certainly
5000 square miles of coal, making its
value, on Il basis of one-fourth of a
cent "a bushel royalty, 1885, $50, 900
