A Plymouth Mine Is Burning.

The fire which has been burning in
the Delaware and Hudson Company's
No mine at Plymouth since Monday
morning, grows more serious, and the
officials appear to be getting very un-
easy about it. Early yesterday morning
the fremen were doing good work and
they felt sure of having the fire in the
coal extinguished by last evening. But
about o'clock one of the pumps, which
furnished the greater force of water,
broke down. This left only one supply,
that received from the borough plugs.
The fire burned fiercely all the forenoon
and was making steady gain.
In the afternoon the machine corps
was put to work connecting other
pumps. This was finished in a few
hours and the firemen were once more
in possession of good supply of water,
four streams being played on the burn
ing coal all day. The fire is burning in
the direction of the plane and the pillars
IRE threatened. All the props have
been burned out and the roof is falling
continually. The tiremen cannot get
near enough to do telling work.
In conversation with some of the
miners, who are familiar with the mine
they gave as their opinion that the mine
will have to be flooded in order to cXtin-
guish the fire. They further say that
unless this is promptly done there may
be terrible squeeze, which will throw
the mine idle for some time. The Off
cials are reticent, but it was learned last
evening that there is immediate danger
of squeeze and the firemen are Oh the
alert.
If the fire is not out this afternoon the
probability is that the mine will be
flooded.

Coal Production of the state.

According to the reports from the
mining regions on the mining of coal in
1894, which will soon be issued by the
internal affairs department, the total
anthracite and bituminous production
was S5,306,3s9 tons, decrease from
1893 of 5,295,072. There were produced
1896, ,170 tons of anthracite, or ,673, ,3s4
tons less than in 1888, and 39,s00,2 ,210
tons of bituminous coal, decrease of
3,621 ,179 tons.
There was an increase over 1893 of
7,o51 employees and 226,s72 men were
employed in and about the mines. The
strike and general depression in busi-
ness caused the decrease of production
in the bitnminous region and hard times
were felt in that region in a greater de-
gree than In the anthracite region.

A Little Ad Brought Answers.

Recently the TRIBUNE published a
little advertise ment for Il boy to learn
the printing trade. 1t was set in very
small type, and there was no attempt
made to bring it conspicuously before
the readers of the paper. Eleven boys,
three men and one girl responded to
the two insertions. What the TRIBUNE
did for itself it can do for others, and
the merchant who doesn't believe in ad-
vertiSing can figure out from this Illus
tration the number of customers he
would secure by having a medium-sized
ad. well displayed, in these columns
during this busy season.

Yesterday was the forty-fifth anniver-
sary of Dr. E. W. Rutter's BIRTH and
the event was not allowed to pass un-
noticed by the friends OF the doctor

his life. About o'clock upwards of
fifty relatives had assembled in the large
dining room of DePierro Bros. cafe.
DePierro's orchestra was present. and
opened the exercises of the evening
with an overture, which was just ending
when Frank was called from his position
on the first floor. The sight that met
his eyes was certainly surprise, and
when informed that the splendid BAN
quet before them was in his honor he
could scarcely thank his friends for their
thoughtfulness. However, he was more
than astonished when Genero. Bonomo
stepped forward and in neat
short speech presented him with a
little box, the compliments of Your
Relatives" containing a pretty and
valuable diamond pin, handsomely set
in solid gold. The gift was so unex-
pected that for some time Mr.. DePerro
could not respond. He finally succeeded
in thanking them, and made it pleasant
for all until the gathering dispersed at

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from ten drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
