The anthracite managers continue to
limit the production of coal as closely to
the actual market requirements as the
necessities of the iron furnaces and other
manufacturing industries will permit.
The weekly ouput of anthracite has not
exceeded half million tons since the
2lst of December, and this conservative
policy will be pursued as long as the
present dull condition of the trade con-
tinues to exist. The recent "cod snaps"
while they have lasted only two or three
days at a time, are beginning to tell, and
on Saturday the Reading Company was
in receipt Of number of new orders for
the domestic sizes from the New Eng
land States, New York and other near
by points on the lines of its railroad sys-
tenn. During the past sumner and fall the
Reading Company accumulated noun
tain of between 10000 and 40, 600 tons of
pea coal at Port Richmond. Since the
general restriction of mining began in
December that company has been gra-
dually reducing its stock of pea, and on
Saturday the last 1000 tons remaining
there were shipped from Port Richmond.
A large part of that accumulation was
reshipped to points along the line of the
Reading road, some of it went to New
York harbor and the remainder to the
East.
The following interesting statement is
from the Pottsville Miners ,JovrnM of
last Friday: "The reduction of the
output still continues, number of col
lieries having shut down during the past
week. 1t is rumored that special efforts
will be made during the idle period to
put such of the Reading collieries as can
be most profitably worked in the best
possible shape to crowd out the largest
attainable output in the shortest time.
1t is said that the present management
of the company recognize the fact that
while they may for the present tide over
opposition by legal delays it will be
necessary to have a dividend at the end
of the year. To accomplish this very
special efforts are to be made at the
collieries, and those only which can be
most economically and profitably oper-
ated will be pushed. The location of
General Manager Henderson at Potts
vile is part of this plan, and important
changes in the methods and economies of
mining are expected during the year. :"
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
January Is, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 400, ,594 tons,
compared with 603, 900 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, decrease of
112,4l5 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was ,432, 400 tons compared with | ,648,-
355 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 2l5, ,955 tons.-Ledger.

The ties that bind the mine workers

The joint committee of both organiza-
tions made its report last week. The
constitution presented was taken up by
sections and adopted with few slight
amendments.
1t provides that the name of the new
organization shall be the United Mine

gressive Union. Thus the names of
both old organizations are preserved.
The national officers will consist of a
President, or Master Workman; Vice
President, or Worthy Foreman Secre-
tary-Treasurer and an Executive Board
composed of nine members. The consti-
tuition further provides that any member

viding he becomes a member of both Or
CARNATIONS before qualifying.

Special Correspondence.

EDITOR TRIBUNE-Dear Sir Being in
Freeland on Saturday evening last, ac-
companied by a friend, and having oc-
casion to pass Main Street, between Cen
tire and Washington Streets, my eyes
were attracted to transparency hung
outside of building bearing the follow
ing inscription "Young Mems T. A. B..
Reading Room" Being T. A. B..
member proceeded to the Hall where
was met by one of the members, and
upon enquring whether the room was
open for strangers, was told to "step in,
as it was open to all T. A. B. members" !"
We were conducted to the billiard room
where number of young men were
playing. We looked on for a few mo-
ments at the quiet and friendly manner
in which the game was being conducted,
and presently was invited by the Secre-
tary of the Library Committee into the
Library room, and was told to make our
selves at home; to select any books that
we felt interested in and, in fact to con-
slider ourselves at home. We done so
and can say that we spent very enjoy
able evening. The library is one of the
prettiest and most interesting that we
have ever seen. We hope the members
will continue ON in the work they have
so nobly begun, and one, while aside
from Temperance, is in itself credit to
thom, namely, the bringing together of
an evening the young men of town for
social enjoyment and recreation.
We extend our thanks to the Secre-
tary, and hope We may meet again in a
short while. FOSTER TOWNSHIP.

There is at Plymouth Hungarian
Catholic church on Gaylord avenue, that
was the scene of singular episode on
Monday The officiating priest is Father
Kalsoko. A Hungarian died ON Satur-
day, and on Monday the remains were
brought to the church for the usual
services. They were laid in front of the
altar when the priest got up and said
that he would not perform the services
unless he was paid $8 in advance. The
friends of the dead man said they had
n, money, and wanted Father Kolsoko
to wait till pay day. He refused. They
then left the church. After awhile the
priest sent for them to come back and
offered to go on with the services for $5.
This they also declined to give. Then
the priest drove them all out of the
church and locked it, leaving the body
within. He went to the Burgess and
asked him to have the body removed.
The Burgess referred him to the poor
directors. Pending an appeal to them
the body was left lying in the church,
where it remained all Monday night

The Coal-Dust Fuel Plant Sold.

The Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road Company have sold to an English
syndicate the patent for manufacturing
coal-dust bricks at the plant recently
established near Mahanoy City. The
railroad company bought the patent and
intended to carry on the manufacture of
fuel bricks itself, but finding an opportu-
nifty to sell out at fair price, concluded
to accept it. The P. & r. Company has
secured contract to sell the English
Company all the coal-dust it wants at %
cents ton, and has also made an
arrangement by which all the bricks
made are to be sent to market over the
P. & r. Railroad.

Miners Buried Alive.

A cave-in occurred at 4.30 o'clock on
Saturday afternoon at the iron ore mine
in Cheltenham township, about two
miles from Edge Hill village, operated
by the Thomas Iron Company, of HoR-
endauqua, and three men were buried
under ten feet of earth and stones. The
victims were William Kerr, aged 60
years, John Smith, aged 40 years, Edgar
Vanfeld, aged % years.
Smith and Vanfield lived in the imme-
diate vicinity and each leaves family
Kerr came from Trenton, and it is not
known at Edge Hill whether he was
married or single. The three men were
at work in pit about twenty feet deep
clearing the bottom of rubbish when the
landslide occurred. 1t was preceded by
no sound of warning, but was accom-
panied by a rumbling noise that alarmed
the other miners, and was heard for
considerable distance. As soon as it
became known that three miners were
missing an alarm was sounded, and Il
large force of men went to work to ex-
hume the entombed bodies. 1t was
after II o'clock when they completed
their task. Fanfield was found standing
on his feet. The other men were
doubled up, as though crushed down by
the heavy weight. One of them had a
broken arm, and the other was cut about
the head, but neither of the bodies was
mangled or distigured to any extent.
The cave-in is supposed to have been
due to long-continued settling of the en-
bankment by reason of the copious rains
last year. An inquest was held on Sun
day by Coroner Long, and a verdict of
death by an unavoidable accident was
returned.
