The anthracite coal trade continues
very dull, and the reports from all quar-
tiers are of the same character, viz. little
new business doing, orders for coal scarce
and prices weak. The production of an
thracite in the month of January ex-
ceeded three million tons, that quantity
being a quarter of million tons more
than had been agreed upon by the sales
agents at their December meeting, and
the OUTPUT for last month was a $50 t75 600
tons in excess of that for the correspond
ing month of last year. Since the lst
instant the production of coal has been
greatly curtailed, and the restriction of
OUTPUT ordered by the managers of the
anthracite corporations appears to have
been enforced. Last week the wyoming
operators were unableto make shipments
to market over the Central Railroad of
New Jersey on account of breakdown
of the machinery at the Ashley Plane,
but, as the New York market was al
ready oversuppied with anthracite, con-
sumers did not Sntler.
lhp total amount Of anthracite coal
sent t. market for the week ending
January 81. as reported by the several
carving companies, was 669, ,552 tons,
compared with 5l6, ,44S tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase OF
l53 ,lO4 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was 8, ,094, ,S95 tons, compared with 2,4l8,-
243 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of 676, 1852 tons.-Ledqsr.

On Thursday afternoon while working
on the railroad a short distance below the
Lumberyard station, on the L. V. X. r.,
John Dennion, an old and respected
citizen of that section of the county, met
his death by being run over by an engine.
Mr.. Dennion was employed on the road +,
and, as usual, when the engines dropped
the ashes it was his duty to remove them
from the track, and while thus engaged
an engine backed down the road and be-
fore he could realize the position he was
in he was run over and mangled in shock
ing manner. Deputy Coroner Buckley,
of Freeland, was notified and repaired to
the place on Friday morning. He
viewed the remains and examined those
who were near to the deceased at the
time he was struck and number of
others who were present when he was
picked up. The Coroner decided that
there was no necessity for an inquest
and gave instructions to have him buried
The deceased was about fifty years of age
and leaves wife and five small children
to mourn his loss. The funeral took
place Sunday morning interment being
made in st. AIMS cemetery.

Miners Rescued Alive.

John Rineer, William Cragle and
Michael Schelling, the three miners who
were entombed in the old Harvey mine
at Grand Tunnel last week, were rescued
at $50 O'Clock Monday morning. The
accident by which the men were shut up
in the mine was caused by large body
of water in an abandoned mine adj
joining the Harvey colliery breaking
into the latter and filling it almost to the
mouth. The men who had been work.
ing in the slope managed to make their
escape, but those named being over
taken by the food were compelled to seek
refuge in heading which they knew To
be on very heavy pitch. On reaching
the heading they climbed to its upper
most part, and, after safely lodging a
narrow piece of timber which they pick
ed up in their hasty retreat, they climbed
on it for seat. The timber also served
to keep back an amount of loose coal
Here the men spent four days. The first
welcome sound that reached their ears
was the loud strokes of the pump and
they knew active service had been COM
menced toward their rescue. A consid-
erable amount Of the water having been
pumped out searching party went
through the mine Monday morning
ON a raft. In short time loud cries
were heard and the searchers pro-
ceeded to the place from which they
were supposed to have come. They went
up the old heading and there discovered
the men in the position described above.
They were given stimulants and taken
out o n the raft one by one. The men
relate tale of terrible suffering during
| their many hours of confinement.

The entertainment given under the
auspices of the Ladies' T. A. B..
Society of st. AIMS Parish, at the
opera house, on Sunday evening was
one of the finest ever held in that hall,
and the audience filled every seat avail
able.
James F. Sweeney acted as Chairman
Of the evening and fulfilled the duty as
signed him in manner creditable to all
present. He complimented the Ladies'
Society for the manner in which they
got up the fine programme that was to
be rendered and the excellent taste dis
played by them in its composition.
The programme, as printed in last
weeks TRIBUNE, was carried through,
and many of the participants were called
back several times. noticeably in this re-
spect was it with Will Divenny, who had
to make his appearance three times in
succession. The remarks of Rev. NJ. J.
Fallihee were full of instructions for the
female portion of the audience. The
length of the programme caused it to be
late before it was finished. The orator
of the evening, Rev. F. P. McNaly, on
coming forward to speak, said that as the
evening was so far advanced he would
not make any extended remark, and
confined himself to comparison of the

wicked and malicious purposes, and
closed with fervent appeal to all to

A gas-feeder in No. 3 slope of the Sus-
ouehanna Coal Co. at Nanticoke was
ignited on FRIDAY last by a party of men
who were driving new openings. In a
short time the interior Of the mine was
mass of flames, roaring like furnace
and threatening total destruction to the
entire underground workings. Prepara-
tions were made as soon as possible to
food the workings, and trough 200
feet long was thrown down the slope to
carry the water into the mine. A large
volume of water was soon pouring into
the mine, but the flooding of it will re-
.auire several weeks, and in the mean
time hundreds of miners will be idle.

RIO JAHERIo, Nov. 25.-The .revo.
luton In this city yesterday by which
Fonescs's dictatorship was oYerthrown
was almost as peaceful as that By
which Dom Pedro was depOsed. The
insurgents of this city had long been
planning the coup. Yesterday morn
ing strong force made an attack on
the naval arsenal where the arms and
ammunition of the government were
stored, and after = halt-hearted at
tempt at defense, the garrison gave up.
But few shots were exchanged, and the
poor resistance made by the defenders
Is illustrated by the fact that none of
tbs insurgent force were even seriously
wounded. a laborer In the arsenal
was killed by 8 shot from the attacking
force and one of the canon balls from
the arsenal damaged q church. The
news of the uprising at first had very
disquieting effect and created the
greatest alarm among the women
and children and citizens who were not
under arms. When the rattle of
musketry and the boom OF cannon ware
heard q wild panic ensued and all non
combatants fed to places of safety
until the firing ceased. The shop
keepers, fearing pillage, made haste TO
put up their shutters and bar the
doors. All this was unnecessary, how
ever. The news soon spread and the
majority of the people INDUCED in
demonstrations of rejoicing at the sue
cess of the insurgents. The members
OF Fonsecs's cabinet resigned when the
triumph OF the revolutionists became
an established fact and the NANTES to
OF Fonseca announcing that he would
bow to the will of the people was soon
