Weekly Coal report.

The anthracite coal sales agents met
at New York last week, and, after COM
pairing notes on the condition of the coal
trade in general, they wisely resolved to
leave well enough alone, and, conse-
quently, did not make any advance in
the circular prices, which it was thought
they would do. The question will be
taken up again ON August Il, when it
is expected an advance of from 10 to %
cents per ton will be made, the new
prices to take effect on September l..
The demand for coal, while limited, is
improving, and the production of coal
continues large, though for the past two
weeks the output has been somewhat
restricted by the flooding of Il number of
important mines in the Lehigh and
Schuylkill regions.
The retail coal dealers of Philadelphia
are experiencing much Inconvenience
and annoyance caused by the inability
or disinclination of one or two large in
dividuals firms of anthracite coal opera
tors to fulfill their contracts for the sale
of blocks of 1000 tons of coal made in
May for delivery by July 81, at cut
prices. The retailers who entered into
such contracts with the operators and
shippers, in turn, taking advantage of
the low prices at which they agreed to
purchase the coal, made engagements to
fill the orders of their regular Customers
for their fall and winter supplies of coal
during the dull summer months, being
glad of the opportunity to furnish the
excellent quality of coal sold them by
the individual firms referred to at the
concession in prices made by themselves.
The scarcity of cars and the heavy
movement of iron ore ON the North
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Lehigh
Valley Railroad has been a source of in
convenience for week or two past, an
having been put on shipments
of Lehigh coal to the line and city trade
which was lifted ON last Friday. Some
retailers are of the opinion that more
coal was sold on the special contracts
than the operators have been able to
mine, and, having oversold their output
and being unable to fill their orders, the
shippers now want to cancel their
contracts and compel the retail dealers to
pay the current price for anthracite if
they want the special orders supplied.
The retail dealers having contracted to
sell the coal they agreed to buy at the
cut prices are now in aquandary, as they
say they will have to supply the coal
sold to their patrons at the prices agreed
upon. What the outcome will be re
mains to be seen.

The game on Sunday between the
York club of the Middle States League
and Freeland was witnessed by nearly
nineteen hundred spectators, who saw
the professionals held down to two runs
until the seventh inning. York holds
the position of third place in the league
and has been strengthened considerably
during the past few weeks by several
new players. Four of those, namely,
Hoverter, centre field; Hutchinson,
second base; Hudson pitcher, and Arm
strong, catcher, We're secured from the
Delaware State League, where they led
i'll their respective positions. The re-
naming portions of the club were filled
by Gittinger, right field; Sterling, short;
Young, third; Jasper, first, and Gill, late
of st. Louis, left field. Freeland was
composed as follows: Welsh, pitcher;
Simmons, catcher; Carr, short McGee-
han, first; Bray, second; McGarvey,
third; Moran, left McGeady, center, and
Ward, right. Promptly at 3 o'clock Um-
pire Shovlin called the game and Free
land went to the bat. This was the
home teams great inning and three runs
came in, owing to Hudson's $ erratic pitch
ing and wild throw to second. A wild
throw in the third by McGarvey gave
York their first run and a tumble by
Carr in the sixth gave them another
The seventh opened with the score 80
in favor of Freeland and ended 4-3 in
favor of York The cause of this is hard
to explain, but when fate decides that
Freeland is to be beat some player comes
to her assistance and does it in the sew
enth. In the beginning Hudson was
extremely wild while Welsh was in per-
feet condition. Toward the latter part
OF the game this order of things was
slightly reversed, Hudson becoming
steadier in every inning and obtaining
better control of the ball. Ten strike
outs are credited to Hudson and five to
Welsh. Simmons found the ball for q
single once and was the only Freeand
batter that succeeded in doing so. -Four
hits were made by York, with total of
seven bases. but they were scattered too
much to prove of any account, and not
an earned run was made of either
pitcher. Pifering of bases was not in
dulged in to any extent, each club hav-
ing only one stolen base to their credit.
The score by innings was:

Monday afternoon John Kuehnhold,
aged rs years, residing at Hazleton, was
run over at Tomhicken while making a
flying switch and had both legs and one
arm terribly crushed. He was brought tc
his home in Hazleton and physicians
were summoned. 1t was seen at once
that there was no hope for the young
mans life. He called DR.. Casselberry
and asked him to tell him whether
there was any chance for his life. The
doctor replied that there was none and
the sufferer never showed any signs of
fear for the approaching end. There
was not dry eye in the room as he
called his wife to the bedside. Throw
ing his arm around he kissed her. He
did the same to his one little child and
then laid back to await the end. Rev.
Aszman was present and gave consola-
tion to the dying man who passed calmly
away few minutes later.

IMPORTANCE OF THE ROAD.


The burgess and members of the
borough council of Edwardsville were
arrested on Friday and brought before
Alderman Donohue of Wilkes-Barre on
complaint of the High Constable of
Edwardsville, William ~ Davis. The
charge against them is maintaining a
nuisance, the nuisance being pool of
standing and stagnant water. Davis
being sworn testified to the existence of
the nuisance and to the fact that he had
notified the burgess and council to have
it abated, but they have neglected to do
of Quarter Sessions and in order that
there might be no backing out put the
prosecutor under $500 bail to appear and
prosecute.

Peter A.. Connolly of Ashley came to
town Monday morning armed with a
warrant which he placed in the hands of
Constable Quigley for the arrest of one
VIM. Bates, travelling gypsy, who
sometime last week sold horse to him
and guaranteed the animal to be sound
in every particular. Upon trial the
horse proved to be balky and defective
in other respects Rather than face the
music before Justice Thomas of Ashley
Bates agreed to return the purchase
money upon condition that the animal
was brought here and to be in the same
condition as when sold to Connolly.
Later on compromise was effected
whereby Elisha Bates, brother of the
prisoner, agreed to purchase the animal
at a reduction of fifteen dollars on the
original price, and as guarantee of
good faith deposited the money in the
hands of Squire Buckley until the horse
could be brought here. Tuesday morn
ing Connolly arrived with the horse and
upon examination the gypsies declared
the horse lame and wanted their money
returned. The threatened re-arrest of
Billysoon brought them to terms, but
not until Connolly agreed to give them
the blanket with which he rode the
horse from home. Connolly returned
home by rail on Tuesday evening triAe
poorer but great deal wiser than before
he bought the horse.
