ECKLEY.

The st. Mary's T. A. B. Society occu-
pied their new hall last Sunday evening
Quite number of our young men at
tended the ball at Freeland on the 18th
inst.
Barney McCauley, formerly of this
place but now of Silver Brook, is visiting
at the home Of his parents.
The Young Mems Literary Society of
this place will hold ball in Yannes'
opera house, Freeland, on Monday, Feb.
II.
Night was made hideous by some
drunken parties last Sunday night who
paraded through town filled with their
favorite beverage.
Some of the boys at the fair seem to
be very anxious to make the collectors
acquaintance, whether it is with the
intention of investing in chances on
articles, we are not prepared to say.
AT THE FAIR.
The fair for the benefit of the Eckley
Catholic Church opened as usual on
Saturday evening with large attend
ance. Several articles were CHANGED off
during the evening. John O'Donnell Jr.
was the lucky winner of a side of beef
and lounge. Highland people were
well represented by Messrs. Francis
Maloney, Hugh McGill, Joseph Nc
Geady and number of other ladies and
gentlemen. What is the matter with
Weighmaster Curry and A. ]. keenan,
of Upper Lehigh, their presence is sadly
missed. Next Saturday evening bou-
quet walk will take place, let there be a
full attendance. Telephone communica-
tions are being established in connection
with the fair, so as to enable all the
people of the surrounding villages who
are unable to attend, to send in their
chances on the principal prizes that will
hereafter be going of. n. P. Johnson
will receiye and record all chances sent
by phone. NJ. Y. B.

Weekly Coal Report.

The anthracite coal trade continues in
the same inactive state heretofore re-
ported, the only improvement noted
being in the demand for the small steam
sizes (pea and buckwheat), which are
growing scarce and for which the prices
are firmer both in Phila. and at New
York. The domestic sizes remain ex-
ceedingly dull, and the consumption of
egg, stove and chestnut coal keeps pace
with the movements of the mercury in
the thermometer. While the output of
anthracite is still being curtailed the
weekly production is in excess of the
market requirements, and the accumula-
tion at both the interior and tidewater
shipping points continues to SWELL Seve-
raj OF the carrying companies have thou
sands of loaded cars standing at tide
water awaiting discharge, but cannot find
no dumping ground for the coal. On
January LIST the stocks of anthracite at
tidewater were as large, if not greater.
than at any previous time in the history
of the trade, and this is looked upon by
some shippers as a menace to the stabil-
ity of prices. But the larger producing
interests are not at present suffering yery
much for ready cash, and they are appa-
rently still working in harmony, conse-
quently there need be no immediate fear
Of any great break in prices, because it
matters not at what figures coal ia offered
now it does not affect sales beyond the
requirements for immediate consump-
ton.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
January IL, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 495, 1904 tons,
compared with 66l $3.50 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, decrease of
1851 ,035 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 941 500 tons compared with 1,042,-
5O5 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of l0O. 800 tons-Lfdaer

The following circular has been sent
out to societies and others by the Young
Mems Catholic Beneficial and Literary
Society of Lansford:
LANsFoRD, Pa, Jan. 13, 1890.
DEAR SIR: The above named Society
wishes to present the following facts.
Four years ago our society was induced
to undertake the erection of Public
Hall and Opera House in the borough of
Lansford, Pa. After expending over
two thousand dollars in lots and base
ment, the miners strike of 'S7 took
place, and lasting over seven months,
and much longer with some we were
obliged to cease operations. We again
started the erection of the building last
September, and when it was ready for
roofing, the contractor not anticipating
any trouble, carelessly removed the
bracing while the work was progressing.
In an unguarded moment violent storm
arose and the building was blown down.
Being so far into it we could not back
out and lose all we had invested, 80 we
set 1t under way again, and in a few
weeks we will have completed first
class Opera House at a cost of ten thous-
and dollars The mishaps mentioned
crippled us financially, and wishing to
clear our Indebtedness as quickly as pos
sible 80 as to derive all the benefits from
it, we respectfully request you to pur-
chase some of the stock. Shares are
five dollars each; and any person pur-
chasing the same will be entitled to pre-
sent them at any time for payment.

Another Burglary.

Information reaches us from White
Haven that on Tuesday morning, as the
employees of Brader's grist mill, near
White Haven, entered the mill they
noticed that there were holes drilled in
the safe and that a fuse was attached
showing plainly that a burglary. was
about being committed, information of
the affair was given to Constable Horton
of White Haven, who with one OF the
proprietors, followed four suspicious
looking characters who were seen to go
up the Nescopec branch of Central rail-
road towards Upper Lehigh. The pur-
suing party came upon the would-be
burglars near Kocher's farm and arrested
drills found in their possession. They
were taken to White Haven.
