The Tobacco Jourp ais Review for the
Week Ending November 18th.


Receipts for the past week were
large, considering the condition OF the
weather. For most of the week each
house had large sales, the offerings
consisting mostly of wagon stock.
Some good shipments by rail came in
from near by markets. The quality
of the stock sold was about as usual,
with no change worthy of note. The
present crop looks as if it would be
very desirable one after all for
working purposes and our home man.
ufacturers are taking the new crop
freely.
This makes bidding active and all
grades are selling at outside prices.
Filters are eagerly bought for while
the prices on wrappers seem to ad-
vance steadily all the time. One plan
ter was heard to remark this week
that his sales were more satisfactory
than they had been for six years,
which says a good deal for the Win
ston market.
Manufacturers are busy filling orders
and shipments are large for this
season. Collections are coed and or
ders for present and future delivery
are quite satisfactory. The following
! figures from the revenue office show
| ,,1nI cJ,iDpooptc for the week.

Thos. Houlihan a pit boss ON the
railroad, met with fearful accl-
dent, on Friday last at about $50 A.
NJ. He was engaged in siopeing
along the grade at the head waters
of Lake Mokoma and tamped ana
set off two blasts few feet apart.
One exploded in due time and the
other was slow and MIR. Houlihan
walked up feeling assured that the
fuse had gone out and when within
one step of the hole it exploded.
He was thrown twenty or more
feet in the air and struck in the pit
which is sixteen feet deep, making a
fall of thirty-six feet. His right leg
and one arm was broken and bis
face badly bruised. Two or three
knuckles on his left hand were
knocked out of place and in fact he
was a badly bruised up man. lie
was placed in a cart and taken to
the commissary at the lake where
he was given attention by Dr. hill
and on Saturday was taken to the
Reading Hospital. The doctor ex-
pressed his recovery doubtful.
Mr.. Houlihan is temperance
man and was well liked by his as
soc;ates. He is a member of three
societies, one temperance organ
cation and from these societies he
will draw something like $lS. q
week benefits.

out Of the window and smashed to
pieces with the exceptions of the

Two Little Children Burned u
Death With Home and
HOusehold Goods.

The home of George Hess OF
Muncy Valley, was discovered on
fire Friday evening at about 5:3o P.
NJ. and in the sitting room were
two little children, one "a months
and the other five months old. All
efforts were made to save the chill
dren, but of no avail. Mr.. Joseph
Gansel was the first person to OBJ
serve the fire and on opening the door
the blaze gushed out most terrific
and he was forced to retreat.
Others made an attempt to rescue
the infants, but were likewise forced
back. The building and all it's con-
tents we're consumed in the blaze at
rapid rate. The fire is attributed
to the explosion Of a lamp which
Mrs. Hess had lighted and placed
on table after which, had stepped
into neighbours house to inquire
after her husband whom she was
waiting supper on.
The two infants constituted Mr..
and Mrs. Hess family and they are
nearly distracted over the sad affair.
The charred remains of the little
ones were placed at rest in the
