The anthracite coal trade was some
what improved last week, the better coal
consuming weather causing squirt of
activity in the demand for the domestic
sizes. The restriction Of production of
anthracite since March | and the much
lower temperature experienced along
the Atlantic coast has temporarily stiff
fened prices. Furnace coal is scarce, and
pea and buckwheat are in better demand
than supply. March came in like lion,
and, if old tradition is verified. it will go
out like lamb. Already there are indi-
cations of moderating temperature. The
limited output of coal since the lst in
stant has prevented an increase in the
accumulation of stocks at tidewater ship
ping or interior stocking points, while
the increased consumption during the
past week has materially depleted the
stocks of coal in the bins of consumers
and yards of dealers. The general sales
agents of the anthracite corporations
will meet at New York to-day CThursday)
to compare notes on the situation of the
trade, and perhaps they may discuss the
question of spring prices for anthracite,
but it is not likely that any changes will
be made at present. The ruling prices
for anthracite continue at about the
figures of the last September circular or
less. The outlook for the spring trade is
not promising. While the accumulation
of anthracite at tidewater shipping points
is not larger if as large as it has been at
times in the past, yet the stocks of coal
piled up at points in the mining regions
and stored at New England distributing
points and at Buffalo has, in the opinion
of well informed shippers, never been so
hnr nt ~
dition has created pressure to sell COAL
and that will have depressing influence
on prices after April LIST.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
February 2S, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 500, 800 tons,
compared with 432, 9l5 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
1873 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was5, ,525, l66 tons, compared with 4 4,222,
S07 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of l ,302, 1853 9tons.-Ledqer.

Saturday last was an unusual lively
day among the sportsmen of Freeland and
vicinity. The long talked of cooking
main took place in cozy little nook not
many miles from Freeland. The parties
all went to the appointed place at an
early hour and after little preliminary
work, the main opened by the Shenan-
doah party pitting dark red bird against
a pyle from Freeland. After about
thirty minuets of hard fighting, the
| Shenandoah bird was declared the win
ner.
End. Each pitted gray. This battle
occupied about ID minuets, and was hotly
contested. The Freeland bird came out
the winner.
3D. Two light weights were engaged in
this battle, Pyle from Shenandoah,
against dark red from Freeland. In
this battle the birds fought desperately,
Freeland going under the second time.
4th. This battle was fought between
two heavyweights, the Shenandoah party
feeling sure of success, were somewhat
disappointed when the Freeland bird
came off victorious.
9th. This battle was contested by two
mutfs. After spirited tussel the Shen-
andoah bird won.
9th. The Shenandoah party pitted a
gray bird against black one from Free
land. This battle was of short duration,
the Freeland bird winning easily.
7th. Each party having won three bat
excitement was running high, and both
parties felt confident of winning. The
Freeanders pitted dark red against a
gray from Shenandoah; after few dash
es at each other the Freeand bird got
its left leg broken and fought for con-
siderable time in that condition. In the
mean time the Shenandoah bird became
exhausted, both birds were down, and the
usual counting took place. At the same
time both parties were wrangling for all
there was in it. The referee decided in
favor of Shenandoah, the Freeland party
objected, and as it was impossible to
bring about an understanding the main
ended there and then, all stakes being
| drawn

There now appears to'be ray of day.
light ahead for some retail liquor legis-
lation at Harrisburg The Ways and
Means Committee tackled the subject
and decided to strengthen the Brooks
High License Act with three substantial
braces The first applies to the signer
of successful applicants bond. Under
the present law the signer must reside
in the ward or the township with the
proposed tavern. This feature has been
a great hardship in some townships in
the coal regions, where every foot of soil
is the property of the coal companies,
and it has been impossible for public
houses to exist, because there were no
resident property owners. The second
change recommended relates to the
transfer of a license in the case of death
or sale, and the third will be gladstone
news to the Constabulary of the State
Now, the Brooks Law compels the Con-
stables to maintain a supervisory guard
upon the saloons that they keep within
the bounds of law, and at the same time
make a report each month to the honor
able court as to the presence of blind
pigs" in their respective districts. For
this enforced and, it seems, disagreeable
service no compensation at all was al
lowed. 1t is now proposed to allow the
Constables 81 per month for every
licensed house within their district, this
fee to be paid by the latter This change
in the law will make the ancient and
honorable office of Constable desirable
and profitable one, especially in Free
land and Foster. The question has
arisen can the proposed law he made to
apply to those Constables already elect
ed, the office of Constable being con-
stitutional one and the organnic law for
bidding the adding to or the ahrd dgment
of the salary or emoluments of incum-
bents of said offices? The answer is
given that the Constable is MT salaried
officer, being paid exclusively by fees,
and that therefore he is not included
within the meaning of the constitution.

The Coroner's jury, investigating the
Jeanesville mine disaster rendered
the following verdict on Saturday afte-
noon
They Twelve men) were drowned or
suffocated on February 4th, or soon there
after. by rush of water from an old and
abandoned working, known as No. s. at
a much higher level said water having
been tapped by II blast by miner Patrick
Coll through breast No. II of No. 10
slope, west gangway. That we find from
the evidence that sald accident occurred
by reasen of an incorrect map OF said
mines, made at some time in the history
of the old workings of No. s, which
showed the gangway of the old workings
to be about fifty feet shorter than it ac-
tually was, and an apparent discrepancy
in the location of No. II breast, of No.
10 gangway, of 40 feet, making an error
of 80 feet in the map thereby permit
ting breast No. II to be drawn directly
towards the water, whereas the map
showed that the driving upuf breast No.
IL would leave 40 feet of pillar between
it and the old workings, viz, No. s
gangway.

 The first ofthese new companies to enter this promising ielI of wealth will be the Colorado Grand Canyon Mining and Improvement company, which recently filed articles of incor- poration with the secretary of state, with capital stock of $500 900,
 Mr. U. Gregory, one of the di- rectors of the company, was seen yes. terday by reporter for The Sun and asked to give an outline of their pro posed expedition and what they hoped to accomplish Mir Gregory is a min ing man of twenty. three years eXper' fence in Colorado, and is very much enthused on the subject of the mineral wealth of the Grand canyon. He said;
 'srhe object of the company is to operate tre mines along the canyon that were located by the Stanton ex- petition, There have been men work ing these mines on small scale ever since they were located,and they re- port the prospect as being exceedingly encourageing. In addition to operat- ing these claims we propose locating many new ones. In a side canyon, the exact location we do not care to give, Harry Mcdonald who was a member of the Stanton party, loc .ted a claim which runs S3, 900 to the ton. It is almost inaccessible at the present time, but will be thoroughly developed
