The anthracite coal trade while not at
present so brisk as it has been during
the past month, is still in satisfactory
condition. The markets, howeS er, con-
tlnue to absorb not only all the newly
mined coal that is being forwarded from
the mines, but the surplus stocks of coal
accumulated at tidewater points are still
being drawn upon to fill contracts which
were placed some time ago at lower
figures than ruling prices. The ship
ments of anthracite Westward via the
lakes are expected to fall off heavily
after this week, and then more activity
in the Eastern business is looked for.
Every one of the anthracite coal carry
ing railroads reporting show large in
crease in their respective tonnages this
year, the list being led by the Reading
Railroad with nearly a million tons
ahead of last year to the corresponding
date. While the Lehigh Valley Rail
road, the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad and the Delaware and
Hudson Canal Company have for some
time past declined to furnish coal tonnage
statements for publication, it is well
known that they have not only held
their own markets but have increased
their respective tonnages. The follow
ing estimate of the increased tonnage
carried thus far this year by the several
companies named has been furnished us
by an operator who is well posted on
the doings of the carrying companies,
and are believed to be approximately
correct; Lehigh Valley Railroad, 750,-
600 tons increase, Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad, 100000 tons in
crease, and Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company, 26O, 900 tons increase. Rhese
figures will serve to illustrate the epor
nous growth of both the hard and sof

This play is presented by one of the
cleverest companies in existence, every
one of them being especially selected for
their adaptability in portraying the
character they represent. The star, Miss
Lillian Kennedy, is the brightest Ingenu
Soubrette in America, and in this comedy
she has a role which gives full scope to
her wonderful versatility. She is sup
ported by a company which includes her
brother, Mr. Jno.. j. Kennedy, one of
the cleverest singing comedians before
the public; Mr.. E. P. Sullivan, the
powerful romantic actor, and large
company, including a number of promi-
nent artists and as might be expected
from such star cast of theatrical cele-
brities great performance is presented.

man, Andrew Westa, and John Kendos,
also Hun, being the only persons in the
boiler house, Kendos was killed and
the fireman only escaped with severe
scalding, Kendos was employed at Oak
Dale and was passing the boiler house on
his way to Ebervale, where he boarded
when the thought occurred to him to 90
in and see his friend Westa. He accord
ingly did so and he and the fireman were
talking together for some time. During
their conversation Westa, through nepl,
gence, allowed the water to become
scarce in the boiler and the explosion
was the result. Kendos was sitting
directly in front of the fatal boiler and
was struck with steam pipe, the blow
forcing him against lot of broken bars
and pipes, where he was wedged fast.
Westa had been sitting a few yards
away from Kendos and escaped being
hit by any flying debris, but was terribly
scalded by the steam. Several persons
were attracted to the scene by the report
OF the explosion and when they arrived
the unfortunate men were assisted as
much as possible. kendoS was released
from his fastening, but lived only about
three quarters of an hour after being
taken out. Westa was removed to Hazle-
ton Hospital.
Mine spectorLewis, on being notified
of the accident. ordered Coroner Buckley
to investigate it. The following jury
was selected: j. P. Mcdonald, John
Rugan, II. M. Brisln, Condy Furey,
Frank O'Donnell, John II. Amend.
They convened at the coroner's office
last evening and listened to the testimony
of several persons as to how the explo-
sion occurred They rendered this ver-
dict: That John Kendos, came to his
death by being struck with piece of
casting, caused by boiler exploding,
and that said death resulted through the
negligence of the fireman Andrew Westa,
in allowing the water to get too low in
the boilers.

Secretary Noble Has Adopted Very
Commendable Course.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Secretary Noble
is taking active measures to expedite the
adjudication of claims in the Pension
Bureau. Particular attention is being
given those cases which are not repre-
sented by attorneys and to cases which
for some reason have been in the bureau
for long time.
In this matter the Secretary is receiving
the earnest cooperation and assistance of
Commissioner Raum
An examination of the records of
the Pension Bureau discloses the
fact that there are only about 1,200
cases on file which are not represented by
attorneys. These will be taken up by
the board appointed for the purpose and
proceeded to final determination. This
board is required to use every care that
could be taken by an attorney, and to
fully consider and give just weight to
every favorable fact disclosed in the
record of these cases.
In other words. full and complete JUS
tice is to be done in every instance, and
technicalities in the construction or pre-
sentation of these cases are not to be taken
advantage of. Claimants are to be as
sisted and not hindered.
These reforms have already been
started in their course, and it is expected
they will result in good to all concerned.

NEW YORK, Feb. l.. The British
steamer Andes, Captain Evans, from
Trinidad, January 9th, arrived here to-
day, bringing as passengers the Captain
and crew of ten men OF the British bark
Lydia Peschan, which was seized by the
Venezuelan Government on October 18th.
The Captain reports that, being sick
and unconscious, he was taken ashore in
small fishing vessel, to u hospital at
Trinidad, and that while the bark was
beating around in charge of the mate she
became short OF water and put into Mar
garita Island, and before anchoring sent
boat ashore asking for water.
About fifty soldiers rowed out in small
boats, eight OF whom were sent aboard
the bark. They took the mate and second
mate ashore, and kept them there. leaving
no one on board who could take the vessel
to sea. They supplied the bark with food
and treated the men generally well, but
stripped the vessels OF its sails and took
the Captains clothes, watch and jewelry.
On November 9Th the Captain chartered
the steamer Muriel to go to Margarita
Island and tow the bark up, but when
they reached the island the author
tiles refused to give the vessel up, offering
no cause whatever.
On the 10Th all the sailors were sent to
Laguayra, to the British Consul. On the
I'D the Captain again visited the vessel,
in accordance with orders from the Gov
ernor of Trinidad and the Venezuelan
Consul there. But they still refused to
give up the vessel.
The English Governor then ordered
the Captain to proceed TO New York, as
it would take at least three months to
settle the matter. The bark was bound
from Wilmington, n. c., to Trinidad
with yellow pine lumber.

LOOKS DUBIOUS.
Friends of the Shipping Bill Not Feel
ing Very ,Jubflant.


WasHINGToN, Feb. 1.-The friends of
the shipping bill are not feeling IN the
best of humor over its prospects. In
spite of the air of ultimate success which
they assume when interviewed on the
subject, it is clear that they have but little
hope OF passing their bill this session.
Representative Farquhar, who has
charge of the bill, said to-day that he
thought the bill would come up Thurs
day as unfinished business.
81 had talk with Cannon Tuesday,"
he said, land he said nothing about op-
posing this bill. I am going to talk
with some of the opponents on
the other side of the House
and see if some agreement cannot
be made regarding the time for closing
the debate and taking vote. I see no
necessity for the Committee on Rules TO
bring in any special orders. Special
orders always provoke debate and much
valuable time is therefore lost. / believe
we can dispose of the shipping bill with
out any special ORDERS"
Representative Cannon said to-day
that he had not known what the House
would do on Thursday. ut may be,v
said he, that the shipping bills are to be
called up, but there are several important
opposition bills that ought to be consid
cred, and perhaps the House will give
preference to Them"
