IN The ANTHRACITE COAL REGION.

shipments of Coke.

PHILADELPHIA, January 5.-Some of
the Reading Railroad firemen. who are
members Of thu brotherhood of Loco
| motive Firemen. are also Knights of
Labor. and this has brought about AN
official notice from r. s. Sargent, Grand
Master Of the Brotherhood Of Firemen
that members of the Brotherhood should
not allow themselves to become involved
in any way in the strike OF the Knights
Of Labor. Sargent's letter to the master
OF the local lodge says: II will reclaim
the charter IL any member of the lodge
il allowed to be the agent for involving
our brotherhood in a strike that we
have nothing to do with"
ALL INDIVIDUAL coLLIERIEs AT WORK.
All the individual collieries in the
neighborhood of Shenandoah, are at
work, some of them very large ones,
making heavy shipments. This leaves
the Reading Company a.one in the fight
in that section. and with only four indi-
vidual allies in the whole lower anshra-
cite coal field. The only hitch now
feared in the case Of the individual
mines is the possible refusal of the min
ers to mine coal to be handled by non
union railroaders. Such a complication
is deprecated by public sentiment as un.
wise in any event, but especially so as
directed against individual operators,
who have no option as to roads for ship
ment.
OBJECTIONS IN NoN-USIoN RANKS.
Some defections have occurred in the
ranks Of the non-union railrosders In the
mining region, owing TO the distraction
and Inconvenience they meet. No
boarding accommodations being obtain
able, the company has been compelled
to transform several freight cars at Ma
hanoy Plane into eating and sleeping
rooms, while its Offices and machine
shops are likewise adapted.
ARRIVALS OF COKE.
Heavy shipments OF coke are arriving
at Reading and other iron manufactur-
ing centers from Western Pennsylvania.
This will be substituted for coal wherever
possible and the alarm lest the iron
works may shut down In subsiding.
Another temporary relief is found in the
immense stock Of fine coal, called buck
wheat coal, which the railroad company
had accumulated for its own use as
steam fuel. This is now being sold to
outside dealers.
NOT ONE OF SYMPATHY.
The striking miners are taking pains
TO make it clear that their strike is not
one Of sympathy with the railroad mems
quarrel, but is for a continuance of the
eight per cent. increase above the g.. SO
basis which the Reading Coal and Iron
Company discontinued January I. The
miners hold aloof from the railroaders,
in public at least, fearing that they may
prejudice their own case.
The Coal Fleet Having = Rough Time.

Remarkable Yarns About Ships.

Capt Erskine started the conyersa-
ton. odd you ever see the old ship
Senator ?" he said. @She made mint
of money for her owners and for the
Captain. Well, after she had rounded
the Cape few times she went on the
coast. I saw her then on the way from
San Pedro north. A norwester was
blowing, and that ship acted just like
snake in the water. / have heard from
the man at the wheel that he could
never tell just how to steer her Alright,
and one would have to go on faith in
working her wheel"
"That is nothing" put in Capt.
Whitelaw. "a few years ago ship,
empty, was lying at the sea-wall on the
north side There was ladder almost
straight up and down, extending from
her skin to the main deck. During
heavy blow swear her skin and deck
swung so much that the ladder was
heightened and shortened a foot"
"They build barges up in the river
which will bend ten feet in any direc-
tion," was Capt. Freeman's tale.
Up to this time Capt. Watson had
been silent. He then told yarn after
yarn, ending up with simply stipend
Gus one. "Once,' he said, II was on
board a ship, one of those cheap fell
lows, going around Cape Horn. It
was blowing briskly and we were sail
ing under close-reefed topsails. The
shin seemed to become unmanageable,
and was sent aloft. I went out on
the fore-royal yard, and then took a
look at that ship. AS 1 looked down
I saw what was the matter. saw that
the bow was on the starboard track, the
midships was on the port track, and
the stern on the starboard track. No
man could have steered her. We all
went below, put in some stiffening. and
we came out all right. San Fran

BALLS OF BLUE FIRE.
Lightning Strikes the Capitol at Wash
ington, Creating a Wild
Panic.
Washington special.

During heavy thunder. storm, on
Wednesday afternoon, LIGHTNING struck the
Senate wing of the Capitol, but apparently
did no other damage than to brighten the
occupants and destroy telegraphic and tele-
phonic communication between the build
ing and outside world. The flash was vivid
in the chamber itself, and startled every
one, but the source was known at once and
the proceedings continued without more
than momentary interruption. In the lob
by of the press gallery it appeared as if a
ball of fire dropped from each chandelier
to the floor. In the SUBJ basement an en-
gineer was Frustrated. A cab horse out
side was knocked down. The report was
not louder than pistol shot. but seems to
have been heard in all quarters of the wing.
In the Supreme Court every justice,
every lawyer at the bar, and every clerk at
his desk sprang to his feet, but sat down
again very quickly and tried to look as if
nothing had happened.
Theorists have it that the charge struck
the plume of the goddess ON the dome,
spread over the metal roof in all directions,
and sought to go to the ground by the
thousand chandeliers, steam pipes, and
electric wires in the structure. Similar

WARD LAMoN is catching on to the
Lincoln boom of Messrs. HAY and Nico-
lay and publishing series of articles
to show that all that is true in their life
of Lincoln, which has been described as
comprehensive history of the United
States with occasional illusions to
Abraham Lincoln, was taken from
Lannon's own biography of Lincoln,
and all that Hay and Nicolay use that
did not come from that source is incor-
rect. One of his essays in this line re-
lates to the speech which Mr. Lincoln
made at Springfield on the eve of his
departure for Washington. Messrs.
Hay and Nicolay give what they say
was the speech as Mr. Lincoln revised
it with one of his secretaries on the
cars. Mr.. Lamon produces version
which he says must be the only
genuine one, because it was reported in
shorthand at the time and printed all
over the country. Mr.. Lamon may
own the only quarry from which the
fragments of Mr.. Lincolns history
must be dug, but he has not got hold
of the true history of this speech.
There was no shorthand reporter pres
ent on the OCCASION Mr.. r. r. Hit
had been travelling around with Mr..
Lincoln reporting his speeches, long
and short, but the morning this speech
was made he was tired and slept late,
and did not turn up at the scene Of
action till after the little episode had
occurred. Charley Philbrick was
clerk in the Office of the Secretary of
State, and did some political work and
some newspaper writing, and when he
met Mr.. Hit he began telling him
what a dreadful mistake he had made in
not being present at the leave-taling.
ooh, he said, "the old man never did
better in his life; he only talked a
couple of minutes, but it was beautiful:
You ought to have been here to take it
all down." Hit responded that Phil
brick was good-enough reporter to
take such little speech with sufficient
accuracy, and it was great pity he
had not tried it. Philbrick admitted
that he had taken down notes as fully
as possible, and he and Hit thereupon
sat down and constructed the speech.
Philbrick had the points and bits of
the phraseology; Hit had so long been
reporting Mr.. Lincoln that he knew his
style we'll, and he experienced enough
to know that little impromptu of this
kind would not be perfectly smoothed
off and polished, and he would not let
Philbrick make it too fine. Between
Philbrick's memory and memoranda
and Hits experience in reporting Mr..
Lincoln they got up a pretty good ver-
sion Of what Mr.. Lincoln had said, and
this was the so-called stenographic re-
port of the speech which appeared the
following morning in all tine papers of
the North.
