PLYMOUTH.

On Monday next the massive and
complicated machinery which has been
placed in the new No. 3 Delaware and
Hudson breaker will be put In motion
and the first car of coal will be dumped
into the rollers and made ready for
market. Without exception this struc-
ture is far superior to any in this sec
tlon, and probably in the world. The
work complete reflects great credit on
Boss Carpenter Abram Schaffer, who
planned the whole himself. The ma
chinery is of the latest improved make
and when first put in motion moved
with Il smoothness seldom, If ever, met
with on u first trial. Since the breaker
was consumed by fire many anxious
eyes have watched every move of the
carpenters. Many rumors have been
circulated as 10 when the colliery would
start, which have all proved ground
less, but now everything seems as
sured, as the mules have been lowered
into the mine. The outlook from a
financial standpoint is now much
brighter than 1T has been for some
time past, and merchants will be re-
warded in fun for the amount lost since
the confia grafton which threw so many
honest hands out of work. At least 500
men and boys will be required at the
start, and it is quite likely that the
number will be much larger before
many weeks have passed away.
Work was suspended at No. s Della
ware and Hudson colliery yesterday
owing to the breaking of rope. Prep
arations are being made for raising the
dirt plane 40 feet so that the culm may
be deposited where it will not interfere
with the interests of residents. Some
time will be consumed in building the
necessary supports, and within a short
time work will be suspended until such
time as il can be completed
J. w. Davis left yesterday morning
for Harrisburg on receiving a summons
from officials there in regard to his ap-
polntment as deputy factory inspector.
The bridge which spans the Susque-
hanna in the upper end of town was
opened to foot passengers on Wednes-
day afternoon at O'Clock. From that
time up to a late hour on the same
night and all day yesterday large
crowds lined the ratings and inspected
the structure. The bridge will estab-
lish a much shorter and easier route to
the county seat.
Some unscrupulous person or persons
have imposed on the Erie Medical COM
pany to such an extent that they are
sending out circulars which have
reached several young boys. between
the ages of II and IL years in this COM
munity. Some action should be taken
to suppress this practice. as the clrcu-
lars are totally unfit for the younger
element to read, and are, also, highly
productive of immoral practices.
Some of our merchants bid defiance
to all acts passed by the councilmanic
body and refuse to comply with any
and all acts passed for the benefit of
pedestrianism. Especially can this be
said Of one or two, where the sidewalk
is used for a store house.
