with the vote cast at the last election
authorizing the Council to experd $50, 900 on

There is war in progress here between
the Borough Coancil and the Board of

grant any appropriations to pay bills. DIR.

be prosecuted by the health authorities for
failing to report a case of measles which he

Big COal Division

rumOr is to the effect that all the coal
branches of the Lehigh Valley railroad says
the American, will be centralized under the
control of Superintendent Mitchell with
headquarters at WIlkesharre. This will
include the present Wyoming division and
what is known as the Mahanoy and Hazleton
division. 1t is contended that little skill is
necessary to manage the affairs of the Maha-
noy division with the Pottsville and Shamo-
kin branches as those divisions are practically
managed now by lesser officials and the main
care of Superintendent Mitchell would be to
develop them and make them important
tributaries to the main line. With the
putting into effect of this policy, a death
blow would be struck at Delano. With
Superintendent Blakslee out of ONCE the
power that has made Delano aud held to-
gether the community when other L. V.
communities were going to pieces will be gone
and it will be torn up piscemeal, nothing
remaining but few employees in charge of
the station etc.

Of Muhanoy City drug store and some

The anthracite coal trade continues to suf-
fer from the mildness of the season and the
absence of demand for coal. The winter is
now regarded as practically over and has left
large unsod stock on hand. So far from
keeping the output down in February, it
reached Z, ,7I0, 600 tons, or 240, 600 tons in ex-
cess of the monthly allotment, while in Jan
uary 3,073OO0 tons were mined, making a
total for the two months of 5,Sl3, 600 tons
being Sl3, 600 tons above the intended out
put this year and nearly 500, 900 tons greater
than the actual output of the same two
months of last year. 1t is natural, with the
mild season and excessive stScks, that extra
efforts should be made to market the HnsOld
coal, so that general cutting of rates is now
reported in various disguised forms, equal to
lO(d2O cents per ton at tdewater. These
conditions confirm the belief of buyers that
present prices cannot bo maintained, and
hence they order as sparingy as possible
The anthracite output for March is fixed al
$500, 600 tons, but it is generally thought
this will he too much and further restriction
may be necessary. The aggregate output OF
anthracite coal for 1897 is officially stated al
Il ,637, ,S63 tons.
