Some of the small collieries in the Lack.
awanna valley do not average more than
four days month.
The South Side silk mills are again en-
ploying full quota Of hands and running
to the full capacity.
The car shops of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western are now working
eight hours day, but the mines are not
doing on an average better than half time.
The output OF coal at the mines of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company, de-
pends ON the New York market, which is
rather dull at present with prospects not
over-encouraging for October.
The Hallstead colliery at Duryea. one of
the largest in the coal regions, which last
week was thrown idle from cavein, will
not be affected to any damaging extent.
Work will be in full blast there again
within two weeks.
The iron frame work OF the Mears build
ing is being rapidly pushed upward. A
large number of iron beams are being
dumped into the cellar Of the proposed Ho-
tel Jermyn. but nothing has been done as
yet toward fitting them together.

HATTON GAVE, 1T UP.
The General Refused to Go 10 Prov
idence and Call His Conven
ton to Order.

General Henry G Hatton, the young
man who on Saturday issued a call for
second Republican convention In the
First legislative district has sunk into
oblivion with the same rapidity with
which he emerged therefrom.
A few delegates assembled yesterday
afternoon at the Providence armory at
the hour named for the convention
to meet, but Mr., Hsttou was not pres
ent. He was sent for. but refused to
have anything to do with the conven-
tion and the delegates and the few
spectators that had gathered, departed
for their homes. No one else cared o
shoulder the responsibility of callin &
such convention to order and th ose
who had assembled accordingly dis
persed.
So ended General Hatton's first
plunge into the sea Of glory.
The sentiment throughout the North
End generally seemed to be that John
r. Farr is the regular nominee and
should have the support of his party.

OPENING RECEPTION.
Industrial Glasses lnaugurated Under
Favorable Auspices at the
Y. M. G. A,

The concert hall of the Young Mems
Christian association was overcrowded
last evening by young men who al
tended the reception for the formal
opening of the industrial classes.
Conrad's orchestra gave several ex-
cellent selections and Miss Clara Long
contributed violin solos which were
heartily applauded. Addresses were
also given by the teachers of the vari-
GUS classes, and the members of the
gymnasium gave an exhibition per-
formsnce Of the Indian clubs and
wand drills"
During an interval about 300 young
men adjourned to the spacious rooms
on the fourth floor. where "Pomona's
gifts" viz, the fruits OF trees, were
served out In abundance.
In conversation with TRIBUNE re-
porter President A. W. Dickson, who
is very enthusiastic in the furthersnee
of the movement. stated that the young
men showed every sign Of availing
themselves Of the advantages offered.
He impressed the young men with the
argument that there was greater de-
mand for, than supply of skilled arti.
sans Sever al young men were now in
positions for which they had no in.
cliustion and who had no opportunity
Of improving their position except by
evening study This the association
was endeavoring to accomplish.
He remarked that if he advertised
for clerk he would probably receive
300 applications. whereas in skilled
labor there was strong demand for
young men. The world was full of
young fellows who were ambitious to
qualify themselves for these positions
instead of dragging on in positions
where no specific skill was required
and tine opportunity given by the as
sociation would no doubt be seized.
They had immense space on their
fourth floor and they would use it all
up if they could.

No more stamps were unearthed, but
what the exact results Of the expedi-

last night to disclose; neither would he
say the amount Of stamps found by
the boys. 1t is understood that about
$3.50 worth Of stamps were unearthed
by the boys, about $10O worth of which
