NEW KIND OF BOILER.
important Improvements Being Made
at the william A. COlliery.

Several important improvements
says the Pittston Gazette are in pro-
gress at the william A. colliery of the
Connell Coal company, near Duryea.
Chief among them is the establishment
of a fine new auxiliary steam-produc-
ing plant of novel design. The plant
is located at the rear of the old boiler
house, and consists of a vertical water
tube boiler known as the "Porcupine"
and manufactured by the Hazleton
Boiler company of New York city. The
most peculiar feature of the plant is
that the boiler stands on end. The
boiler proper is twenty-seven feet
high, but a hood and stack erected on
top of the boiler tower seventy-one
feet into the air. The boiler has the
appearance of a cylinder boiler forty
one inches in diameter standing up
right, in which 91S holes are bored for
the reception of four-inch tubes which
will project outward thirty-three in
ches, thus giving the name "Porcupine"
to the boiler.
"A circular wall of fire brick will
surround the tubes and the brick will
be incased in iron. The boiler will
have a capacity of $50 porse power,
and the waste heat from nine cylinder
boilers adjoining will be used to gener-
ate steam in the new boiler, though it
is fitted with fire place to be used when
necessary. The supply pipe will run
from the top of the boiler and the
boiler will be fed by No. IL Sellers
injector and pump. There are but few
boilers of this style in this section, and
the one now being erected has improve
ments which are not features of the
others. There is one at Dorranceton,
one at Plymouth, and several at Haz-
Teton. William Hart, of New York, has
charge of the work of erecting the
plant, and we are indebted to him for
courtesies.
The William A. breaker suspended
work Friday for the remainder of the
month. Meantime, the breaker will be
fitted with Zeigler patent slate pickers
which Will be used to clean the stove
coal. These Dickers are now in opera
ton in the Connell company's Law
renee breaker and are giving excellent
satisfaction. Superintendent Samuel
II, Jones hopes that the work on the
boiler plant and in the breaker will be
completed in time to resume work on
July 1. The Connell company takes
pride in fitting the William A. colliery,
inside and outside, with the very latest
improvements, and it is one of the fin
est plants in the region.

New York June 1.-THE prices OF secur-
tiles today scored further step In the
progress towerds a higher plane which
has continued the dominant tendency of
the market now for over two weeks. The
aggregate Of sales was not so large as
yesterday, but was the largest day except
yesterday. The list of transactions also
shows many additional stocks awakened
from dormant state into active trading.
Reports from exchanges In other cities of
revived interest and activity in specula-
tion helped to sustain the market. Sug-
ars aggressive strength also gave tone
to the whole market, the buying being in
duced by the progress made with the
sugar schedule in the senate. The ad-
vance In the anthracite ccalers was ac-
CELEBRATED by the difficulties of the short
interest whose needs were aggravated by
the Increase OF the loan rates on the
stocks of this group. The stocks OF the
iron cNpmpanies we're notably strong on
the trade outlook, but the net gains were
for the most part fractional. The total
sales of stocks today were 295,00S shares.

How Germany's AutOcrat Inundated
the Little Haitian Republic.

the Little haitian 1tGpuHIIc.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Heraid's cor
respondent at Port.au-Prince, in describing
the bulldozing of Haiti by Germany. says
on the reference of the matter to Berlin the
Haytian government had strong hopes that
the Lueders question would be diplomatical-
ly settled through their charge d'affaires.
They offered to submit the whole matter to
arbitration. proposing England, France, the
United States, the Helvetian Republic and
Sweden. AS this was refused another propo-
sition was made allowing Germany to Sc
lect the countries. The German foreign min
lister replied that his government did not
intend to allow any foreign nation to inter-
fere in the matter. and that they would
punish the black republic.
Although rumors of war ships seen steam
ing in this direction had reached Hayti, no
intimation came of Germany's intention till
Monday, at o'clock, when the Charlotte
and Stein steamed into this harbor, taking
anchorage at o'clock. 1t has since trans
pired that the German minister left here
on the 18th ult. and met the war ships at
Puerta Plata. Returning oil board the Char
lotte, the German consul gave notice on
Sunday last that German subjects only
could go aboard the two German vessels
lying in the harbor, and on Monday at s
O'Clock the German commander sent an I'LL
.timatum to the government that the city
would be bombarded unless within twenty
four hours they paid $50 600 instead &c the
$200 600 previously demanded made them
selves responsible for Lueder'S future safe

chose, apologized to the Emperor and re-
ceived the charge d affaires again. The COM
mander also sent communication to the
diplomatic corps that ne intended to bonn
