iusted to blaeksmiths' forges. One
important feature is its cheapness; it
NAV be adjusted to the common stove
for $40, and is very simple, having
no delicate parts to get out of repair.

THE WASTE OF COAL IN MINING
Only About One-Third of the Anthracite
Goes to the Market.

The statistics of coal production,
which we publish in our usual market
report, show that during the month of
August the shipments of anthracite
from the Pennsylvania mines to market
amounted to 1907, 1868 gross tons.
During the eight months of the pres
ent wear the shipments of anthracite
10 market have amounted TO %, 619, s91
tons, being 1855. 495 in excess # the
shipments during the corresponding
period in 1887. During the months of
September, October, November, and
December, 1887, the shipments amount
ed to l2t777,222 tons, and as we shall
certainly largely exceed that amount
this year it appears probable that we
shall send TO market this year 81, 500,-
900 or $4,000 600 tons of anthracite.
If we include the coal sold and used at
the mines, say per cent. of the ship
ment, the grand total output for the
year will probably amount to 10, 000,-
600 gross tons. The average waste of
anthracite in mining and preparation
for market has beer carefully estimat-
ed from many reliable data by the geo.
logical survey of Pennsylvania as fol-
lows:
Coal left in pillars, ete...........45 per cent
Coal lusti in mining by blpsting,
tlt.....-.. ......-....- 90. 10 per cent
Breaker wastc 10 per cent of 40
pr nt-.................--.... ga per cent
Total loss............,......6 &C, per cent
Or only about one-third of the coal
goes to the market; if, therefore, we
produce 10000, 900 this year, it repre-
SCENTS the tx .austion of 100000, 600 tons
OF our available supply, and this does
not now much, if ut all, exceed 9,000.-
OOJ,U tous. At the present rate OF
production and present amount of
waste in mining our entire supply of
anthracite coal will only last seventy
live Years. This statement is not based
on any mere guess, but is founded on
reliable data, and it is so startling in
It's significance that il should certainly
attract the attention Of the managers
OF our great coal companies, and even
OF the Government of the State of
Pennsylvania. 1t is not claimed that
we have yet reached our maximum
production, and every increase means
that the coal will be worked out in
proporuonately less time than here
stated
Long before lhe supply has been ex-
hausted the demand for anthracite will
have exceeded the supply, and prices
viii be limited only by the price of
other fuels; aud, as cheap fuel is the
foundation Of industrial prosperity, it
Is not difficult TO imagine the resulting
eject ON The industries of large part
OF TINS country. The present enorm-
ous, dlsglaceful, and unnecessary waste
ID mining anthracite should be stop
pei, aut # the interests of the great
eoat companies are not sufficient to
'mpel them TO do this, then the Govern
ueht Of the State, which is the guard
yam OF ne citizens interests, should in

A Descent to Death On C~incinnAtrs Incline
Plane Railway Nine Passengers Meet .
Terrible Fate.
CINCINNATI Oct. 16-The most appall.
ing accident ever known on the inclined
p isne railways of this city happened yes
terday between twelve and one O'Clock.
1t was on the Mt Auburn inclined plane,
which lies at the head of Main street and
reaches to q height Of between 80 and 30
feet in a space of perhaps =. 700 feet or less.
Nine persons were first reported killed.
Two cars are employ ed-one on each
track. They are drawn by two steel wire
cables that are wound upon a drum at the
top Of the hill by IN engine located there.
Nine passengers had entered the car at
the foot Of the plane and = number were
in the other car at the top. The passage
of the ascending car was all right until it
had reached the top. when, to his IN.
speakable horror, the engineer found that
the machinery would not respond and
that he could not stop the engine. Only
one result was possible.
The car vas arrested by the strong
bumper. which stops its progress. and As
the engine continued all its force was ex.
pended on the two cables, and they
snapped like wrapping thread under its
enormous power. Then the car. with its
nine inmates locked within. began the
descent OF that frightful slope. What
were the feelings and thoughts Of the fated
nine may hardly be imagined
The crash at the foot Of the plane was
frightful A cloud Of dust arose thai hid
the wreck from view for q moment but
when it was dispelled the scene was hor.
rible.
The iron gate that formed the lower end
Of the truck on which the car rested was
thrown sixty feet down the street The
top Of the car was lying almost as far in
the gutter. The truck itself and the floor
and seats Of the car formed q shapeless
wreck mingled with the bleeding and
marg!ed bodies of the nine passengers
Two were taken out dead. One. q mid.
dle-aged lady with gray hair, was recog-
nized as Mrs Ives. A young girl of
twenty. Miss Lillian Oskam2, daughter OF
Mr.. Henry Kneiss, teacher. living at Ii
Euc.id avenue, died soon afterward.
Five others were injured. perhaps IA.
tally and one man escaped miraculously
with but q slight injury. The names Of
the injured are not yet fully ascertained.
Hon. J. B HOLSTER and a Mr.. McFadden
are said to be two Of them. Judge Hollis.
tel Is nearly seventy years OiO ana can
hardly survive such q shock.
Judge W. NJ. Dickson was on the car.
and being too old to escape from such a
terrible shock vas one of the first of the
wounded to die. He was q well known
attorney, retired for a number of years,
and was a warm personal friend Of Presi.
dent Lincoln
The list Of dead stands: Judge William
Dickson, Mrs. Caleb Ives, Miss Lillian
Ossamp. Michael Kneiss, Joseph Hook.
s~tetter, Joseph McFadden. The wounded
are: Charles McFadden. foot crushed:
Mrs. Hostetter, cuts aid internal injuries;
Mrs.. Joseph McFadden.
The Noun Auburn inclined pane was
the Oldest in the city. 1t was built TWEEN
ty.one years ago and this is the FIRST acci-
dent attended with loss Of life At any Of
the four inclined planes that are in con.
slant use.
