Philadelphia Praise.

'"The Merry Cobbler," which is hold
ing the bo'4 = this week, was given a
production last evening before good
sized and very appreciative audience.
1t is certainly an amusing musical COM
edy, and has a plot that keeps the
spectator interested until the end. The
chief character, that of Franz, the cob
bier, is drawn somewhat upon the En-
NETT order, and was well essayed by
John R. Cumpson.
He was easy and graceful, and besides
proved himself pleasing singer. He
was surrounded by several cute children
who did some cleyer dancing, and little
Rosebud, who sang quite big song for
so small girl. The supporting COM
pany was well balanced. The special
ties were very much enjoyed. Puddle
Ledger, Philadelphia.

Big Coal Deposits Found.

The officials of the Reading Company
have made an important discovery at
its Boston Run colliery. Extending
distance of about mile west from an
old slope of the mine is row of old
breaches caused by the caving in of the
surface. A few days ago sparks from
mountain fire ignited pillar in one of
the breaches and force of miners were
put at work to extinguish the burning
section.
IL was necessary to strip the surface
from espillar and this laid bare some
OF the finest anthracite ever mined in
that section. The officials says the bed
is an immense one and will produce at
least 100000 tons of first-class COAL

Improved Breaker Machinery.

The latest introduction of modern i'm
proved coal breaker machinery was
made by the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-
tion Company at their No. IL colliery,
Lansford. The machine, which is known
as the dirt blower, is calculated to serve
as substitute for the dirt plane, which
is commonly in use for carrying the dirt
from the breakers. BY this new device
the dirt is carried from the screens on
the breaker by liberal use of water
through trough and deposited into
receiving tanks, several of which have
been erected.
AS these tanks continue to fill, the
water is forced to the top and by the
time the tank is filled with dirt the
water has almost entirely passed off. A
gate in the bottom of the tank is then
opened, and with the aid of a worm,
which is propelled by twenty horse
power engine, the dirt is conveyed
through chute to the mouth of ten
inch pipe.
Two eighty horse power engines are
then set in motion. This produces an
enormous pressure of compressed air,
which drives the dirt through 500 feet
of iron pipe, ten inches in diameter, on
an elevation of fifteen degrees. The
blower was set in operation and has
given good satisfaction except at times
when large quantity of water would
get unto the pipe when it would not
work perfectly. The machine is capable
of handling thirty tons of dirt per hour.

Two bills, for 1925 and $3.50 respec-
lively, presented by special policemen
Mclaughlin and Gallagher, for serving
notices on property owners by order of
the burgess, were read and laid over
until that officer makes his report.
a letter was read from the local agent
OF the Western Wheeled Scraper Com
pany, requesting payment for the road
machine left on trial some time ago. 1t
was decided that the secretary communi-
cate with their home office and instruct
the company to have the machine remov-
ed, as it was not suitable for the bor-
ough.
A petition of the property owners on
Centre street, between Front and Wal
nut, was read, asking council to allow
them to put down concrete crossing at
their own expense at a point near the
intersection of the alley in that square.
The council granted the request on
condition that the borough will be at no
expense for repairs.
The street commissioners report was
read for the month of September, show
ing the amount expended on sewers,
S22.00, and OH the streets, $50 .92; total,
$7l.92. The report was accepted and
ordered paid.
P. M. Boyle, borough surveyor, made
statement to the effect that he had
made partial survey of johnson street
and would have it finished in a short
time. 1t was decided that when the
survey is completed the council will hold
a special meeting and the secretary was
instructed to call it when Mr.. Boyle is
ready.
Councilman Rutter spoke about the
west side of the square on Centre street,
from Walnut to Chestnut, and requested
that some action be taken by council to
have it curved and guttered. 1t was de-
cided that the street commissioner do
the work and to use the stone now in
the park.
A discussion took place about the side
walks which were ordered to be re-
paired, but no action was taken.

Choir for the Eisteddfod at Wales.

A number of prominent citizens of
Scranton, headed by William Connel,
the coal operator, have formed an organ
ization to send choir of 100 voices to
Wales to represent America at the
national eisteddfod there in 1894.
Connell, who is president of the
organization, says it shall not suffer for
want of funds. No one will be permit
ted to join this choir who has not passed
a careful examination in voice culture at
the hands of master, and all the sing
ers must be Welsh.

Good Prospects for schuyIknI.

All the collieries of the Reading Com
pany in the Schuylkill region have re-
sulned operations under orders to work
six days each week for two months and
the miners to be paid at the rate of per
cent above the $3.50 basis.
This is an advance of 6 per cent. over
the wages paid last month, and the in
crease, together with the steady work
promised, has caused hopeful feeling
to prevail in the business and laboring
circles of the region.

ABERDEEN. Feb. 5-TSpeciai. Twenty
six inches of snow was reported TO have

Yesterday had the appearance OF bliz-
card. but without the excessive cold. The
lowest temperature shows about ID de-

The fire brigade tried fire driH last night
and found it an almost impossible work.
To their credit they intend to hold nightly
drill for some time. The public schools
were closed on Wednesday and will con-
tinue so while the storm lasts. c. L. Cook

made no effort whatever. He seemed to
go along in an easy, simple manner, but
when it came TO keeping him in sight
things looked different. The best skaters
would frequently tackle him but he walked
away from them, and would then laugh to
see how easy it was. I never thought at

but later came to what was then village

nue. that is known as the Lawton Nursery.
Mr.. Lawton died suddenly in October,
1891, and the shock came very near caus-
ing his wite's death. Since then she has
not been we'll, and recent illness of six

BURGLARS WORK IsrEREUpTED.


A bold but unsuccessful attempt was
made to burg sarize the jewelry store OF
Charles GesGemeister on Second street, be-
tween James and Cherry streets, yesterday
morning. The attempt was made within
ten feet of the Home messenger office and
under the glare Of electric lights. From
the evidences left il appears that the
burglars were scared away by either
messenger hoy or hickman before they
could conclude the work they had planned.
The jeweiry store is practically hole IN
the wall about four feet wide and ten or
fifteen deep. The upper half OF the door
- OF glass on which are marks that show
the work of the glass cutter. At point in
the glass from which it would be an easy
matter TO reach the lock on the inside
half circle was drawn with a dia-
mond. The lines show plainly that
the first attempt was considered
a failure, because the line came
too near the wood work Of the door and
would not have given space to thrust the
wrist through. The next line was bet
ter attempt at circle, but still faulty.
Had not some interruption come it would
have been easy to put on a rubber suction
pipe and held the glass from falling on the
inside while the workman tapped the cut
line until the piece fell out.
