The anthracite coal trade is in q state
OF stagnation, and there appears to be no
Immediate prospect of improvement.
Reports from nearly all quarters are of
plethoric stocks of coal very little new
demand, and low prices. Until recently
the prices for anthracite to the local line
and city trade were well maintained.
Within the past week some of the indi-
vidual Lehigh and Schuylkill operators
have diverted their shipments of coal to
Philadelphia and vicinity from New
York harbor and other places, and the
consequence has been a cut in prices to
induce sales, but with little effect. The
weekly output of anthracite continues in
excess of the market requirements. This
is chiefly due to the large tonnage pro-
duced by the corporations. Many of the
individual operators have either shut
down their collieries entirely or else they
are working only day or two at time,
when they can obtain sufficient orders
for coal to do so. The Lehigh Valley
Railroad is reported to have embargoed
all shipments of coal for two days each
week, to prevent too much coal being
forwarded from the mines,
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
February IA, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 65l ,593 tons,
compared with AGA ,6l9 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
1854 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was 4, 1873, 1O5 tons, compared with $780,
94S tons for the same period last year, an
increase of 9S4 ,O57 tons.-LedQer.

Tuesday morning as a coal train on the
c. r. K. of n. j., Drifton branch, under
charge of Conductor Phillips, was going
down the grade from No. 2 breaker at
Drlfton, the engineer, as was his custom,
ran the engine ahead of the train toward
the "9," but, owing to a heavy fog pre-
vailing at the time, did not notice the
train of loaded coal cars coming behind
him, and thinking there was going to be
a collision both he and the fireman
jumped off. AS they jumped the cars
and engine came in contact with each
other with such force that the lever of
the engine was reversed, and before the
engineer or fireman could re-mount the
cab she sped away towards Eckley, on
to Council Ridge and down the heavy
grade towards the Scale Siding In the
meantime Conductor Phillips FASTENED
with all his speed to the Il. II. Office
at Drifton, where Operator James J.
Sweeney telegraphed to Weighmaster
Soloman at Scale Siding, advising him Of
what had occurred. Mr. Soloman turned
a switch leading to a siding where a
freight car full of furniture stood, and
the engine in its mad flight came thunder
ing along and struck the side of the
freight car. The engine was badly
wrecked. An investigation into the cause
Of the accident will be held, and the
person responsible for it will no doubt be
made to feel the weight of the company's
ire. 1t was fortunate that Mr.. Soloman
got the switch turned in time or the con-
sequences might he more serious had the
engine gone onto the main line, where a
passenger train was about due at Drifton
junction

No literary announcement of the year
is of.greater interest to the general public
than that of comprehensive life of
General Sherman, which is about to be
published and sold through agents by the
noted house of Hubbard Brothers, of
Philadelphia. Admirable biographies of
Grant and Sheridan, complete to the time
of their death, are already familiar to the
public but a life of the third great COM
mander, to finish the series, has been
lacking. The various biographies of
Sherman hitherto published have neces-
sarlly beenincomplete; and even his own
memoirs, written in 1875, said almost
nothing of his intensely interesting early
life, and not word, of course, of the
more than twenty years of social activity
and fraternity with old comrades since
the war.
The work which is now to be issued
will splendidly supply the widely felt
demand for history of the great strate-
gic commander. 1t is being written by
General .. o. Howard, a man of fine
literary attainments, who knew Sherman
better than any other of his comrades
now living, and ranked next but one to
hlm in the army, and by Willis Fletcher
johnson, whose ability as a historian rs
familiar to the reading public of America
through his former unusually popular
works, which have had millions of read
ers, and the sales of their vast editions
enriched an army of book agents. That
this history of Sherman, the last of the
great Generals, will surpass all others in
popularity Is not to be doubted.
The story of this great Generals career
is of marvellous march from the moun-
tains of time to the sea of eternity. OF
the three great war heroes, Sherman was
by far the most interesting personality
He was the best known to the public and
the best loved for his genial disposition
and warm sympathy with the popular
heart He has joined his llustrious com
peers IN the eternal bvouac of the
dead. His is a life to study-to emulate
and is a profound inspiration. The
forthcoming volume will tell the whole
story of his marvellous career, and from
the authorship engaged upon it, we are
assured it will be told in way that will
enthral the attention and interest of
every reader from first to last. 1t is a
book every American will want and one
every American youth should read. 1t
will doubtless be the best life of the great
chieftain published, and we predict for
it wonderful popularity.

Tuesday, February "a, being the day
set apart for the counting of the votes
cast for Poor Director and Poor Auditor
of the Middle Coal Field Poor District,
the return judges from Carbon and
Luzerne portion of the district met at
the Poor House, Laurytown, and com
pleted the count. The judge of the
First District of Halle Township Told
Jeddo) did not appear, and as conse-
quence the vote of that district is not
included in the total vote cast.
For Poor Director-A. M. Neumuller,
5,077; Thomas Clemens, 3,572. Neu-
muller's majority, 1,505.
For Poor Auditor-Joseph p. Saloman,
1880; John J. McNelis, 1913. Saoman's
majority over McNelis, 677.
There was very little interest mani
tested in the count, it being merely a
question of details, as the result was
known days before.
The figures, as whole, shows far
different result than what was given out
a few days after election, from the fact
that very few of the return judges sent
their extra copy of returns to the clerk
of the Carbon County Court, as the law
requires.
The business of counting and certify
ing to the returns was carried on in
business like manner, and where dis
crepancies appeared all showed dis
position to place the credit where it was
intended. A number of ballots in the
Carbon portion of the district were cast
for Thomas P. Clemens and others for
John j. McNelis, and were so returned,
but as it was evident that those votes
were intended for Clemens and McNelis
they were placed to their credit.
Directors Clemens, Miller and Monroe,
together with Steward Wells, were pres
ent and made it pleasant for all who
were in attendance, which, by the way,
was small in number in comparison to
former years.

Current Notes of the Grip.

Postmaster Mexican was out OF bed yes
terday for the first time, and If the weather
is fair next week he expects to call at his
office. Magistrate McKenna expected to be
out of bed yesterday, but owing to the
weather his physician insisted that he should
remain Just where he is. He will be up in
a few days as the doctor says there is no
further need for him to take medicine.
Colonel Boyer, proprietor OF Hotel
Boyer's, is a very sick man. On Friday the
physicians practically gave up all hope for
his life, but yesterday he was in much
improved condition, and hopes are now en-
tertained of his recovery. The wife of Vice
President Bannister, of the Westinghouse
Electric Company, who has been very i'll
for several days, had grown much better
yesterday.
Rev. David Jones, of the First q. P.
Church, has recovered from his recent i'll
ness, and will preach to-day. Attorney A.
B. Stevenson went home yesterday suffering
from an attack of the grip.
Among the deaths reported yesterday
from the epidemic was that of Mrs. George
W. Murphy, of Ingram station, who was
also well known at Sewickley. She was the
widow of Major Murphy, gallant soldier
of the War of the Rebellion.
Three deaths were reported at the Poor
Farm yesterday. They were Simon Lucas,
No. AZ Sixteenth street, Joseph Papsyski,
No. 1880 Josephine street, and Andrew
Clark, No. 212 Fifth avenue. Grip is said
to have caused the death of the two former.
