Military Order of Loyal Legion.

A meeting of New Jersey members
of the Military Order of the Loyal
Legion will be held at Trenton next
Tuesday, February Goth, at II a. n, at
the Trenton House, to consider the
advisability and practicability of
establishing a separate commandery
of said order for New Jersey. There
are hundreds of officers in New Jersey
eligible to membership, and it is be
lieved by some that a New Jersey
conmandery would largely increase
the order here. This order admits
officers only, and is modelled much
after the Order of Cincinnati of Revo
lutionarv fame.

TO ESeese HIGH Prices.

The coal barons of Pennsylvania are
doing all in their power to make high
prices for coal, when now the Bridge
ton dealers are doing all in their power
to sell it as cheaply as possible. Owing
to the mild weather there is q large
amount of coal unsold, the eonsump-
tion not being nearly so much as usual.
The coal barons will not sell their coal
any cheaper owing to this fact, but
have ordered nearly all the miners in
their employ out of the mines, and
telegraph dispatches from the mining
regions give deplorable accounts &C.
the sufferings of the poor men ,Suo
have spent nearly the whole .. their
lives far beneath the surface of the
earth. Should coal be sold cheaper,
all the dealers say, there would be an
increased demand, and the miners
might be kept at work, while the peo-
pie at large might be able to purchase
coal at reasonable rates.

MERRY MASQUERADES,
THEY VISIT JOHN III. COOK AT
SEELEY.
While Eating supper They Take
Possession of his House by
Force.

John III. Cook, of Seeley, was sur
prised at his residence Monday night.
Mr.. Cook is in business in Philadel-
phia and his regular visits home are
| made on Wednesday, but Monday
was the 18th anniversary of his we'd
ding and his friends had made ar
rangements to surprise him, and his
family wrote to him to come home as
the pond had frozen over and some
arrangements should be made toward
gathering the crop of ice. Mr.. Cook
acting upon the advice of the letter
came home on the late train, and at
nine o'clock was comfortably seated
about his table with his family. when
without moments notice party of
merry masqueraders opened the door
and took possession of the place and
proceeded to enjoy themselves. Mr..
Cook was surprised and he is not
ashamed to admitit. He told the party,
however, that he would surrender as
peacefully as possible and the fun COM
menced, and for some time it was fast
and furious.
There were about fifty persons in the
party and those present from this city
were David Davis and wife, Jacob
Mengle, Ed. Albertson and wife, Chas.
G. Grosscup and wife, Misses Emily
and Mamie Grosscup, AL and Barry
Grosscnp, Oscar Whipple. DR.. and
Mrs. G. H. Dare, of Shiloh, were also
| present.
The costumes of the party were hid
eous and beautiful, rich and absurd,
but they all served to make very
| pretty picture, and those who wore
| them thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The costumes of some were japanese,
Chinese, Mephistophles, Faust, Mar
| querite, America, Uncle Sam, Dutch.
man, Jackey and Lone Fisherman.
In addition to these, there were many
that did not represent any particular
character, but were fancifully attired.
| David Davis was awarded the premium
of them all, owing to the fact that lie
was made up as an old woman, and
none could tell who he was until masks
were removed. The party remained
in their disguise until about 10 o'clock,
when their masks were removed and
| their Identity made known.
Then the party separated. Many OF
| the young men addicted to the use OF
the weed, repaired to the home OF
VIM. H. Ballinger, and several games
of cards were soon in progress. The
young folks were soon ia the parlors
OF the same residence, enjoying the
pleasures of dancing to the music of a
piano. The elderly folks remained at
Mr.. Cooks and enjoyed a social eve
ming.
About eleven o'clock refreshments
were served, consisting Of ice cream,
cake, fruits, nuts and coffee. During
the evening Mr.. and Mrs Cook re-
ceived very many pretty presents. all
of them principally running to glass
ware, the anniversary being q crystal
wedding. After the refreshments the
guests enjoyed themselves socially,
and the midnight hour was sounding,
when the party bid their host and
hostess good-by, and the carriages
rolled away from the doors of home
which had been gladdened, by the
kind remembrance, upon this auspic-
ious occasion, of their many friends.

Carried the First.

NJ Daniel E. Smith, of Walnut street,
says that in 1882, when he was very
young man, he carted the first load of
brick for the building of the First
Presbyterian Church. He also aided
in cutting down the large oak trees
standing on the south end of the
Broad street cemetery plot to be
worked up into timber for the church.

Had some Trouble,

The sections of the different churches
about town had considerable trouble
yesterday in getting their rooms warm
enough for the comfort of the congre-
cations. Many of the fires were run
hard all night.

beginning Of last year. At the highest
point last year prices averaged less than !
per cent above the opening; at the lowest
point, June 80, they were liz per cent below
the present level. The enormous output Of
iron still weakens the market, and while the
production last year is believed to have been
5,07O,O 600 gross tons, the deliveries of steel
rails were probably 500, 600 tons less than in
1887 and about /, 100, 900 tons less than the
capacity of mills. The annual statement Of
failures, showing that 10, $40 firms, or trife
more than one in one hundred, went into
bankruptcy in 1888, is on the whole espe-
clally encouraging, because the average Of
liabilities were only S11, 595 for the year
and SlO,73S for the last quarter. This
lndlcates that remarkably large proper
Ion OF the failures reported was of concerns
uolng small business. On the other hand,
tne number for the last quarter was about the
largest on record, and there are other indica-
tlons that the existing state of things oper-
ates powerfully to crowd out the smaller and
weaker traders. 1t may be noticed. too that
throughout the Western and Southern states,
IeXas excluded, the failures were both more
numerous and larger in aggregate of liabili-
ties than in the year preceding, while in
the Eastern, Middle, and Pacific state, an
important decrease in amount of liabilities
appears, and also in Texas. Business fail

the United States $50, Canada %, total 1877;
as against 299 last week, and 279 the CORE

variety of reasons, but 3S7 in one week is
probably the highest number ever recorded
In this country in that period OF time.

operations of the day were nearly all
for the purpose of covering a line

the recriminations between the officials of
the Missouri Pacific and the Rock Island
gave rise to the impression that the managers
were incapable of carrying out their contract
to maintain rates, and this was used to dis
turb confidence in stock values with material
effect. Missouri Pacific was the object of the
most persistent attack, but great pressure
was also brought upon Lackawanna, and
those two stocks led the decline, which
lasted until well into the afternoon. 1t then

took the usual amount for current wants.

such trade, but it is equally noticeable that
