The anthracite coal trade is not so ac-
tive as it was recently, and there has been
a falling off in the demand for the do
mestic sizes within the past week. The
output of anthracite is somewhat in ex-
cess of the market requirements, and,
consequently, there has been slight in
crease in the accumulated stocks of coal
at tidewater shipping points. The Read
ing Coal and Iron Company reports fair
demand from the East for small cargoes
of various sizes, but no new contracts of
Importance for future delivery are being
made at present. The prices for anthra-
cite are being reasonably well maintained
at about the August circular figures,
though exceptional cases of sales of stove
coal at New York harbor below 81 f. o. b.
are occasionally reported. The Western
sales agents will meet at New York on
the 10Th instant to compare views on the
situation of the trade.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the 10 days ending
January 10, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was $50, ,2l5 tons,
compared with 9l7 ,2Sl tons in the cores
ponding period of last year, an increase
of 4,944 tons.

Mr. Tony Farrell, who impersonated
the leading role in The Irish Corporal"
presented on Saturday evening at the
Academy of Music, is an actor of pro-
nounced natural talent and long exDeri-
ence. He is well known in Scranton,
having for two successive seasons ac-
hieved fiattering success as Felix" in
that laughable comedy, "Skipped by the
Light of the Moon" He also assumed
leading part in "Blackthorn," another
successful play which Scranton was
pleased with. AS Jerry Donovan" F"
THE Irish Corporal" Mr.. Farrell sings
a number of catchy songs in sweet,
mellow voice and in such an ingenious
manner that no audience can resist the
charm of his work. In the last act on
Saturday evening he pleased the audience
so well that he was compelled to respond
to three persistent recalls.
His wife Miss Jennie Leland) is
sprightly and vivacious, sings nicely and
plays banjo solo which always brings
down the house. The play is one which
affords wide scope for good work and
with the changes in the supporting com
pany which will be inaugurated at once
will doubtless succeed wherever it is
resented.-Scrdnton Republicans.

The following explanation of the ghost
story, which caused such sensation in
Hazeton last week, is taken from the
Semi Weekly Standard of Saturday:
Hundreds of people have, within the
past few days, walked out to West Ela-
Zleton to pay visit to the house of Chas.
B'ntz, who would haye his neighbois
believe his house is haunted by ghosts.
The absurd story is an old one, and those
who are well acquainted with Bontz think
he is suffering with case of "razzle." ]"
His ridiculous ideas are encouraged by
some old imposter who has closed the
house for nine days, the length of time
he alleges it will take to bring the ''ghost"
under spell. Bontz has caused the ar
rest of his house-keeper, alleging she is
the cause of the trouble. If the Squire
hearing the case had performed his duty
toward the public, he would have com
mitted Bontz to the lookup for period
of nine or ten days to give him an oppor-
tunity to brace up. The story has been
widely circulated, and about half of the
children of town have become so worked
up over the matter that it is unsafe To
leave them alone for any length of time

Wealth From the Anthracite Coal Mines.

The Pennsylvania anthracite coal stat
istics, compiled by the Census Bureau,
were issued on Saturday. The total pro-
duction during the calendar year 1889
was 40, ,665, ,152 tons of 2240 pounds, val
ued at the mines at S65, us, 165, an aver
age of 81 81 6-l0 per ton, including all
sizes sent to market. The quantity
actually carried to market, as reported
by the railroad companies, was 30, ,4O7 ,7lO
tons; ,329 $50 tons were used by en-
ployes and sold to local trade at the
mines, and 3,5lS, ,696 tons are reported as
consumed for steam making purposes in
and about the mines.
1.-The average number of days worked
during the year 1889 by all the colieries
was 1914. The suspension of mining,
during periods aggregating about one
third of the year, was caused, says the
census bulletin, mainly by the ina
ability of the market to absorb larger
product. The number of persons EN-
ployed during the year, including super
intendents, engineers and clerical force,
was 1929. The total amount paid in
wages to all classes during the year was
$39, 152, 124. The total number of regular
establishments or breakers equipped for
the preparation and shipment of coal
was 342, 10 of which were idle during the
year. Besides these there were 40 small
diggings and washeries, supplying local
trade. There were also Is new establish
ments in course of construction.
AS matter of comparison the bulletin
says:
The statistics of anthracite coal in
Pennsylvania compiled for the tenth
census were based upon the year ended
June 80, 1880, and thus covered the last
six months of 1879 and the first six
months of 1880. The present census
covers the calendar year 1889 The fol-
lowing items from the previous census
are herewith given to show the develop
ments which a decade has made In this
industry:
Total production for census year,
including all coal shipped to mar
ket and sold to employees and local
trade about the mines, exclusive
of cum 0ong toni ................. 25,515,s75

tenth census " ar. ........:.....:, S2sG64,O55
Total number of employees, all grades 10,6G9
The largest actual shipment during
any year in the history of the trade was
made in 1888, being 3S, 145, ,l7S tons of
224O pounds. The largest actual ship
ment for any one month was 4, 1877 ,527
tons, in October, 1888. The shipment
of 1889 was, therefore, 80 per cent. of
the maximum shipments practicable
under existing conditions.
