Now is the time to buy coal unless
you want to pay higher price for it
after October LIST. This is the advice the
anthracite coal shippers are giving their
customers. The local anthracite coal
trade is at last becoming active after
several months of almost unprecedented
stagnation. The demand for egg, stove
and chestnut sizes is excellent, and dur
ing the past week the shippers have been
in receipt of large number of orders
from the line and city retail dealers.
The prospect of increased prices for the
domestic sizes has stimulated the de-
mand for them, and the cooler atmos-
phere of the past several days has in
creased the consumption of fuel. The
outlook for large sales of anthracite in
October is good, and the sales agents of
several of the companies, as well as
some of the individual operators, report
that they have already booked sufficient
orders for delivery next month to take
up the entire output of their collieries
until November 1st. Consequently, to
supply the demand for coal satisfacto-
rily, it would be necessary to draw upon
the large stocks of coal accumulated at
tidewater and interior stocking points.
Briefly stated, the anthracite trade will
be very brisk in October, and in the fol-
lowing month falling off in activity is
expected. The sales agents, at their
meeting in New York on Thursday last,
advanced the prices for anthracite for
tidewater shipments 10 cents per ton for
broken and egg sizes, 10 cents for stove
and 20 cents for chestnut. The sales
agents of the Reading, Lehigh Valley
and Lehigh Navigation Coal Companies
have been in conference for a day or two
past, and the result will probably be an
advance Of from 10 to Is cents per ton
for coal to the line and city trade, to take
effect on the lst proximo.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
September 20, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was ISL ,939 tons,
compared with 755, 800 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
26,619 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was "a ,l69, $40 tons compared with q, sos,
412 tons for the same period last year, a
! decrease of 4S7, ,042 tons.-Ledqer,

Dropped Dead in the Mines.

Thursday afternoon while on his way
to his usual employment at Oak Dale
coliery, Jeddo Frank Sweeney, of
South Heberton, dropped dead in the
gangway from heart troubles. He was
taken to his home at South Heberton,
and the news of his death spread rapidly
Mr.. Sweeney was aged 80 years and was a
married man. He leaves a wife and
three small children.
SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
In 1873 Mr.. Sweeney became a mem
ber of the st. AIMS 4. A. b. Cadet
Drifton, and on July 4, 1880, became a
member of St. AIMS Pioneer Corps, en-
tering it as a private, and advancing step
by step until in 1887, when he became
Captain of Co. B., numbering over sixty
members. After the strike of 1887,
when the majority of the young men re-
moved away, the two companies were
merged into one, and since then he acted
as First Lieutenant to Captain Frank Nc
Laughln.
Through his fealty to the cause of labor,
during the strike of 1887, he had to leave
Upper Lehigh, where he was employed,
and since then worked at Halle Brook
and Jeddo. He was a member of Foster
Township School Board, and about a
year ago was appointed fish warden
for this section of the county. He was
an uncompromising advocate of the
rights of man and an earnest worker in
the cause of labor. He was a charter
member of L. A. 1886, of Upper Lehigh,
and in his death that assembly has lost
one of its quietest and most earnest
workers.
AS an indication of the esteem in
which he was held, no better evidence
could be shown than that which took
place at his funeral on Sunday afternoon
from his late residence, South Heberton.
The funeral cortege was as follows
st. AIMS Pioneer Drum Corps.
St. AIMS Pioneer Corps.
st. AIMS Cadet Society.
St. AIMS T. A. B. Society.
Young Mems T. A. B. Society.
School Directors and Teachers of Foster
Township.
Hearse.
Besidess Twenty-six carriages and 1864
women and men of neighboring
towns.
Arriving at St. AIMS Church, the body
was taken in and Rev. +. P. McNally
read the prayers for the dead, after
which he delivered very impressive
sermon, taking for his text, ''Be You
Always Ready"
He paid glowing tribute to the de-
ceased, and stated that as far as man
knew he was ready. In conclusion, he
advised his hearers to be always ready,
for they know not when they too would
be called before the judgement seat of
their God.
Interment was made in St. AIMS
cemetery under charge of Undertaken
Brslin.
