One of the two was fiourishing large

deadly weapons were visible about the
other, yet he carried large stick in one
hand. 1t is well-known fact that both
of these young men are in sympathy
with Judge Lynch's system of law and
order, and having dropped few hints
around their home that they were going
to do some butchering before long, it
was supposed when they left home that

Z, 1891.
In view of the numerous fatal accidents
that have occurred in the Anthracite
coal mines of late, and in order that
their occurrence might be lessened,
d. A. 81, at meeting held on April 7,
1891, resolved that they would, as far as
laid in their power to do so, enforce the
provisions of the mine law, and to that
end they ask the cooperation of the
mine workers of the Lehigh region, in
notifying them of any violations of the
provisions of the mine law, in any col
liery within their jurisdiction.
Workingmen knowing of any violation
of the law will do themselves and their
fellow-workmen favor by reporting
such to the members of the Executive
Committee, giving name, coliery and
nature of the violation, and the same
will be investigated. No person need
fear to give his name, as that will be
kept secret

The anthracite coal trade continues
in stagnant state, and the outlook for
improvement at an early date is not pro-
missing. Notwithstanding the annouce-
ment of the spring prices for anthracite,
and that canal navigation has reopened,
buyers are holding back their orders
ley Railroad, which has been ordered
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
to reduce its tolls on anthracite on the
Goth instant. In well-informed coal cir
cles it is not believed that the Lehigh
Valley Railroad will reduce its tolls, but
it is expected that that company will
force Coke Bros. & Co. to take further
legal action in the matter. Coal dealers
and large consumers of anthracite gene
rally expect still lower prices for coal
than those recently announced, and the
anxiety of some sales agents and ship
pers to get bids for "stock coaP' has
made buyers timid about placing orders,
fearing they can buy coal cheaper later
in the season. The accumulation of coal
stocked at interior points in the mining
regions, as well as at tidewater, Buffalo
and Eastern distributing points, is said
to be unusually large, but as the produc-
ing corporations are now enforcing re-
striction of output more rigidly than
heretofore it is expected the surplus
stock of coal will soon be materially
reduced.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
March 2S, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 5lO,9O7 tons,
compared with 503, l27 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
1850 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was 1867 FOG tons, compared with $685.
l64 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of l,702, ,542 tons.-Ledqer.

A number of infuriated strikers made
an attack upon the coke works of II. G.
Frick, at Morewood, in the western part
of the State, on Thursday last, with the
intention of intimidating the men work
ing there to stop, but before they pro-
ceed far were fired upon by guards and
nine of the number shot down and
many others wounded. The mob first
descended on the Standard works and
destroyed the telegraph wires, SO as to
prevent communication with Morewood,
in order that the siXty-fve armed guards,
who had been stationed there to protect
the men and property, could not be APP
prised of their coming. The latter, how
ever, were informed of the doings of
the mob at the Standard, and when the
men came within short distance of the
works they were ordered to retreat.
This the strikers answered with several
shots and proceeded on their way. The
mob was about to assail the works and
were ordered to desist, whereupon they
again refused and the guards opened fire.
The firing on both sides continued hardly
three minutes. The volleys from the
guards had terrible effect on the compact
mass of strikers, while the latter made
an attempt to return the fire with what
ieW weapons lney possessed, Out Wltnout
effect. The dead were left lying in the
road, while the wounded, estimated at
between 40 and so, were either assisted
or bodily carried away by their fellows.
The mob was chiefly composed of
Huns and Slavs and great excitement
prevailed among that element. AS there
is large number of foreigners in that
section it was feared they would become
desperate and avenge the death of their
countrymen. Accordingly orders were
sent to the Sheriff of the county and
through him to the Governor, who or
dered troops to be sent to Morewood to
protect the citizens. The presence of
the troops served to allay the excitement
and no further outbreak has occurred.
