Anthracite Coal Trada.

The anthracite coal trade drags along
in an unsatisfactory way. The mild
weather has made the consumption
light and the weakening of prices at
tidewater markets has rendered dealers
indlsposed to buy until their present
stocks are exhausted. All the COM
panies are quietly selling from 25 to 40
cents per ton below circular rates, but
even so are able to get only moderate
amount of business.
The production for December will be
abont 1900, 900 tons, although some of
the New York companies are pushing
their output so as to make good finan-
cial exhibit. Lake shipments have
stopped and the production will have to
be cut down sharply. A severe winter
would help the situation immensely, but
this Is by no means assured yet.

Opening of the Baptist Fair.

The fair of the English Baptist church
congregation was opened to the public
on Saturday evening. 1t is being held
in the basement of the church, at the
corner of Ridge and Walnut streets, and
IL the first night can be taken as an in
dication of what the attendance will be,
the fair is destined to be one of the best
attended that has been held in town for
some years. The basement has been
profusely decorated with bunting, flags
and evergreens, and presents an attrac-
tive and inviting aspect as the visitors
enter.
The various tables have been tastily
arranged by the Ladies' Aid Society and
are loaded down with hundreds of useful
articles, ornaments, toys, etc, while be-
hind them are many of the more sub-
stantial lines OF goods, such as rocking
chairs, chinaware, quilts, infants cloth
ing, etc. AT the children's booth can be
found an assortment of playthings which
would do credit to any novelty store.
Dolls, prettily dressed, are there by the
hundreds, and to little ones it appears
to be the real home of Santa Claus.
The tables also contain many elaborate
and expensive gifts from friends of the
pastor and the congregation, and while
the town and surroundings are well rep
resented among the donations, there are
articles there which have been sent
from Hazleton, bethlehem, Philadelphia
and New York.

Would Not Marry the Sister.

peculiar case was heard before the
mayor at the county seat on Friday.
Samuel Gordon was charged by Rachel
Duchall with defrauding her of $40.
Rachel said she was engaged to be mar
ried to Gordon and he borrowed $40
from her to buy furniture and arrange
for housekeeping. Some trouble came
between them, and the engagement was
broken off. Gordon had purchased Ra-
chel dress and claims he also returned
IS of the borrowed money. This the
girl denied and claimed he is trying to
swindle her and procured her money by
false pretenses.
Mayor Nichols held Gordon in 500
bail for court, and also In $500 bail for
further hearing on the charge of per-
jury. The man then relented and was
willing to marry the girl, but she would
have nothing to do with him.
After some talking, in an effort to
settle the case, Rachel's sister, Mary,
offered to marry Gordon in her sisters
place, but, as she was not as good-look-
ing as Rachel, Samuel refused.

John Redding, aged 25, lineman,
met a horrible death at Wilkesbarre on
Friday. The company by which he was
employed was erecting electric light
wires and Redding was on top of pole
pulling wire toward him, when in
leaning over the top cross arm he drove
his climbing spur into live wire,
coming in contact with one of the alter
mating currents. His fellow workmen,
who were watching him from the ground
below, noticed slight writhng of the
body and without even groan Redding's
body relaxed and hung limp and almost
lifeless in the air, across the arm of the
pole.
Another lineman mounted the pole
and after some difficulty released
the spur from its fastening and the
hands from their convulsive death-grip
on the wire. Then he fastened rope
about the body and with the aid of the
other workmen and bystanders lowered
the body to the ground. The victim
was blue in the face from the effect of
the deadly current and died in few
minutes.
The deceased has mother and friends
residing in Hazleton and the body was
shipped to them.

whose capital stock is $40 900, and which
has already spent considerable in build
ing a dam and laying water mains.
The Warrior Run Mining Company
has been using the water of Warrior
Run creek for it's works for the past
thirty years. In January last the War
rior Run Water Company condemned
the creek for the purpose of supplying
the borough of Warrior Run with water.
A dam was built and water mains were
laid at a great expense. The mining
company claimed this shut off its rights
to the water, but the water company
filed a bond of $i25, 1000 before taking
the land and the creek to secure the
mining company against dammage.
The mining company at once began
an action for damages against the water
company and viewers were appointed
for the the purpose of assessing the dam
age. After several hearings they made
report and estimated the damage to
the mining company to the amount of
S76. 500.

CesSfty and Is Bound to Come.
In a month from now the Pennsylva-
MIA legislature will convene for a three
months session at Harrisburg. What
will most interest the people of this dis
trict and what has for some years been
measure for the passage of which they
were very anxious, says the Hazleton
Plain Speaker this morning, is the fight
to be made again this time in behalf of
the new county. The decision of the
electors at the polls in November was
recorded in favor Of the division of Lu-
zerne and as the legislative contest was
conducted with that understanding, it is
only reasonable to expect that the bill
will be introduced as soon after the
opening of the session as possible.
1t was source of pleasure to the gen
tlemen who in former years labored to
secure the passage of the measure, to
journey to and from Harrisburg, for
with each successive effort their hopes
have been frightened until the senti-
ment has at last reached such "a stage,
not only in this section, but in every
portion of the state, that, If all who will
be benefited get to work and keep at 1t
until they are assured of the necessary
support, there will be no obstacles in the
way OF granting to the people of the
lower end the justice which they have
long ago demanded.
The governor, in the midst of heated
political battle in which he was one of
the principals, when the bill was pre-
sented to him for his signature two
years ago, vetoed it on the grounds of
nconstitutionalty. The skies having
cleared and he and Senator Quay, whom
he opposed then, having reconciled their
differences and two years having work.
ed wonderful change, no apprehension
should be felt that he will stand in the
way should the bill be passed by the
legislature.
Other influences have altered things
so that the people can expect from His
Excellency, who has the benefit of the
experience, that he will, If he is called
upon to again consider the advisability
of dividing Luzerne, allow the question
to 60 before the people affected to de-
termine the matter for themselves. 1t
is recognized by all who have business
and dealings at the court in Wilkesbarre
that the new county is Il necessity, oppo-
sition to which develops, not for the
general welfare, but merely for selfish
gains.
In the session of 1895 the delay occa-
stoned in the introduction of the bill
creating the new county acted against
its ultimate success; so to assure its
speedy passage now preparations should
be made at once for the fight. The
need of strong organization and the
cooperation of all is apparent. Com
mittees are to be selected and other ar
rangements completed so that the meas
ure, which should be drawn up in
accordance with the constitution-not
in variance to the opinion of the COVER
nor-may be rushed through and pre-
sented to the executive before any other
factional differences may arise to pre-
vent favorable action.
The benefits to be derived by the peo-
Pile OF the lower end through the crea.
tIon of Quay or some other named
county have been dwelt upon extern
sively. Effective work is required.

Governor Names Him to Succeed
Judge Young.
ANNOUNCEMENT YESTERDAY
NEW JUDGE AT ONCE PROCEEDED
TO QUALIFY.
The Selection Seems to Give General
Satisfaction Among Members of
the Bar-His Honor Expects TO
Hold Court Today-Has Good
Record.

The agony surrounding the appoint
ment of a Judge to take the place OF
Hon. LIE Grand Young is now over, ana
M. L. Richie is the fortunate person,
the governor having appointed him 10
the. place yesterday. Mr.. Ritchle was
notified Of the action of the governor
yesterday afternoon by the secretary OIL
state, and at once proceeded TO quallIy.
InaSmuch as the secretary did not nave
all the proper forms ready, 1t may De
that Judge Ritchie will not be compe-
tent to hold court this morning, but he
said he was going to try and the office
of the secretary of state was doing all
it could to get him in condition today.
Mr.. Richie was surrounded py
friends yesterday, of all parties, all IN
tent upon Offering congratulations, ana
he was equal to the occasion. AS far
as known the selection by the executive
gives satisfaction.
Mr.. Ritchie is young man, SO years
of age, and was born in Illinois, He
emigrated to Kansas when he had at
tanned the age of manhood, where he
began the study of law, afterwards
finishing his education in legal lore
in the city OF Chicago. He came to this
city in January, 1891, and was at the
time of his selection to the Office
member of the law firm of Ritchie q
Richie. He is a married man and has
two specimens off Utah's best crop to
gladden. his heart and that Of his esti-
mable wife.
Mr.. Richie is Republican in poll
tics, although not what would be
termed an intense partisan.
He was a minute clerk in the last
senate of the state legislature, where
he won the good will and esteem of
all the members by his competent work
and willingness to do all that it was
possible to do.
He was at one time a member of the
Kansas legislature and achieved a rep
utatfon while in that body.
There are a number of disappointed
ones among the attorneys who desired
the place, as a matter of course, but
as all of them could not be appointed,
some one had to take a back seat.
Among attorneys generally the selec-
ton is regarded as good one.
Ritchie IS a calm, dispassionate man
one of those persons with a DISPOSE
ton which makes admirable judges
and his knowledge of the law is ample
TO qualify him for the place to which
he has been appointed, in the opinion
of attorneys, who have no comments
to offer other than favorable ones.

IN FROM pEEpsToNE.
Romney and Rodenback Break Into
a body of ArsenicnI Ore.

Martin Fesler and DR.. L. B. Brown
who came in from Peepstone district
yesterday, report that at the present
time considerable work is going on in
that locality and that one or two i'm
politant strikes have been made there
of ;ate.
These gentlemen are the owners of
the Golden Fleece group of eight
claims in North canyon. This ground
shows a good, strong ledge that car
ries gold values, and before coming
in they put two men at work on the
property.
Johnson and Bennett, who are work
ing the Cedar Valley group have their
shaft down a depth of 'thirty-five feet
in good looking ground, while r. w.
Bradshaw and w. Saby, who have
been sinking on a small vein of ga
lena ore, have been forced to suspend
operations on account OF trouble with
surface water.
The Chieftain group, in North can
yon, is owned by an Ogden company,
which has let a contract for fifty feet
of work on il
The most important development in
the district of late, however, was the
strike made by Romney and Roden-
back, who, after sinking in black slhale
carrying iron pyrites, broke into
body of arsenical ore, the extent of
which has not been as yet deter
mined.
From all accounts Peepstone will
come to the front this summer in great
shape.
