MINES AND RAILROADS.

The Susquehanna Coal Company has
increased its working time in its Nanti-
coke collieries from eight to nine hours
daily.
The Morea coliery, which is more
than 300 feet deep, is filed to the sur
face with water, and nearly 400 en-
ployes are idle.
Two submarine divers arrived at
llazleton last night. They have been
engaged to try to start up the pumps
which have been submerged in Pardee's
collieries.
All of the North Side collieries are
suffering from the severe rains of the
past week, and some parts of the mines
around here will not be able to resume
before June /.
Every one of the fourteen colleries of
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com
pany located at Nesquehoning and Lans-
ford is flooded. Twenty drowned mules
were taken out of No shaft at Nesque-
honing on Tuesday.
All is quiet again at the keystone
mine at Wilkes-Barre. The company
sent in a few men to do repairs, but no
coal was brought out. Coal and iron
policemen are still guarding the breaker
and the mine bosses houses.
New Lehigh Valley milk cars are
being put on the road as fast as they can
be turned out of the shops They are
sided with buff material neatly painted
and lettered with the same colors as are
used on the passenger coaches.
The coal tonnage over the Reading for
the week ending May 10 was 222, SOB
tons, a decrease of 2S, 124 tons as COM
pared with the corresponding period
last year. For the year to date the ton
mage was 5,101, ,732 tons, decrease of
S77, 1877 tons.
The subscriptions to date for the Gay
lord relief found amount to about So, 700.
Last week the committee distributed to
each of the widows 500 and to each or
phan 500. The committee will continue
TO distribute the fund at the same rate
until it is exhausted.
A crisis in the bituminous coal strike
will probably be reached early next
week, when a meeting of the coal opera
tors east of Pittsburg will be held and a
line of action planned. That wages will
not be advanced by the operators is GER
tain. An offer to return to work will be
made the miners and if rejected other
labor will be sought to fill the strikers
places. The miners are holding out
soldly and no one can tell when the
difficulty will end.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

The literary society of this place is a
thing of the past. Dissension among
the members was the sole cause of its
downfall. Hopes were entertained that
the nicely furnished room would be the
means of bringing about an adjustment
of the trouble, but all attempts to recon-
cile the members failed. Last week a
portion of the fixtures and furniture
was disposed of, and this week the re-
mainder was taken away and the room
closed. The members of this oreaniza-
ton have let a golden opportunity pass
that they may have to recall sometime
in the future.
Milton Mowery was in town this week
visiting his sister, Mrs. Seitz.

From the Hazleton Standard.
OF all the many cruel things that have
occurred in this region in times gone by,
none of them equals that which occurred
at Cranberry on Monday afternoon. At
this place resides family named Witt,
consisting of father, mother and three
sons. The youngest of the boys came to
this city, and, from what can be ascer-
tanned, INDUCED little to freely, and
upon reaching home the father rep
rimanded him for his conduct. This
led to words and finally blows from the
son. The other boys coincided with the
views of the younger brother and the
trio beat their father numerically.
After the fracas the father made his
way to the office of DR.. Smith in this
city, who at once made an examination
and found that his head was badly cut,
taking six stitches to bring the wound
together. He was also badly bruised
about the body, and perhaps injured
internally. He is probably so years of
age and his condition is considered
serious. The boys were arrested and
taken before Squire Jones, who COM
mitted them to await the result of their
fathers injuries.

UPPER LEHlGH NOTES.

The collieries here have been idle
since Monday owing to the flooded con-
dition of the mines from the recent rain,
and there are no hopes of any work
being done during the remainder of the
week. The many mine holes caused
the water to rush into the slopes in tor
rents and were it not that the pumps
and other machinery are always kept in
iirst-class order several of the slopes
would work none for month at least.
The four large pumps in No. 2 slope
were almost covered yesterday, but
they were working splendidly under the
water. In No. 5 slope another pump is
also working under water and yesterday
the machine gang put in another to
assist it. Everything was expected to
be ready for to resume work on Monday
at the latest, but the rain of last night
and today may cause a longer delay.
Miss Katie McBrierty, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas McBrerty, died
at the home Of her parents here between
and O'Clock yesterday afternoon after
brief illness of four days. The deceased
was an accomplished young lady, who
held the respect and esteem of all who
knew her, and her sudden death is sad
and sorrowful news to her relatives and
friends, who had not heard of her illness
until death came. She was 16 years of
age, and the funeral will take place on
Friday afternoon at go O'Clock. The
interment will be made at st. AIMS
cemetery.
1t is said the shooting match at pig
cons between Richard Dudley and
Evan Williams, which was to take place
on the Goth inst, has been declared off

This week the fishermen had plenty
