The January letter Of the Anthracite
Coal Operators association says:

The January letter of the Anthracite
Coal Operators association says:
The condition of the anthracite trade
during the past year has been recorded
from month to month in these letters,
and no detailed review Is now necessary,
but It is interesting to note the general
course which followed and compare the
results with those of 1886.
In January. 1927, the market had been
broken by shipping in November and De-
cember of the previous year a tonnage
largely in excess of the needs for con-
sumption. There had been a steady gain
in the selling price until the middle of
November, but at that time the break oc-
Cured and during the latter halt of that
month prices went down steadily, follow
Ing the same course in December. Con-
sequently, in January, the market was
badly demoralized, although the ship
ments were much less than in the pre-
ceding month. The results for the pre-
vious year had been so alarming that
the various interests saw that their
safety lay in producing only what the
market required for actual consumption.
AS "A result, the prices in February
showed a slight improvement which con-
tinued to gain steadily until July, for
during that time the output was not in
excess of the demand. In estimating the
requirements for the latter month, how
ever, too optimistic view was taken of
the situation and mining began at the
rate of 3,5000O0 tons for the month.
Though this was clearly more than was
needed IL would not have brought about
any lasting disarrangement had it not
been exceeded, but toward the close of
the month it was found that much more
than this quantity would be produced,
and that efforts were being made to dis
pose of it.
PRICES AFFECTED.
Prices were affected at once, and as the
tonnage for August and the succeeding
months was also greatly in excess of the
needs of the market the downward step
which began in July continued without
abatement
In comparing the average prices re-
ceived In 1897 with those secured in 1896
1t should be remembered that during the
first six months of 1897 the output was
16.1l0,99S tons as against 1883. .655 tons in
1896, and further in considering 1897 in its
entirety, it should be borne in mind that
this output for the first six months, dur
ing which prices were advancing, is to
be compared with a production of 25000, =
600 tons marketed at a declining price,
and of this some l3,0O0,000 tons produc I'd
in October, November and December,
have been sold below the average re-
ceived in June. Taking these matters INTO
consideration, 1t is doubtful whether the
average price for the year will be equal
to that received i'm 1896, when the highest
prices were received in the months of the
largest production.
The following table shows the ship
ments of anthracite by regions:

CONSTABLE IN TROUBLE.
Deputy Mclaughlin, of Oiyphant,
Removed from Office.

Arguments for the removal of
Deputy Constable Mclaughlin, of the
Third ward of Olyphant, on charges
preferred by Constable Robert l..
Craig. were heard by court Saturday
morning. The charge was that Nc
Laughlin threatened to "do" Craig If
the latter returned Andrew Boquack
for selling liquor without license.
Mclaughlin made some damaging
admissions in deDositions of a month
ago, and Judge Archibald remarked to
the formers attorney, James j. O'Mal-
ley, before he made his argument: "If
the charge is true your client should
be indicted" When Mr.. O'Malley had
finished, Judge Archibald said: "If we
have the power, we shall remove this
man--it is only a question of power"
Afterwards court made the following
order:
Now, January s. 1898, the approval of
the appointment of John Mclaughlin as
deputy constable of the Third ward of
Olyphant is hereby reconsidered and re-
voked for cause shown BY the Court.

Mrs. Wilcox Ran Away from Her
Home in CIark's summit on Dec. q
with Andrews, who Was EMPLOYED
on Her Husbands Farms They
Took Horse and Wagon with
Them when They Departed--That
Angered the Husband.

Mrs. Walter Wilcox, the woman who
stole her husbands horse and wagon
from their farm near Clarks Summit
and efoped in it with william Andrews.
the hired man, on Dec 8, 1897, has been
captured. She and Andrews were ar
rested in New York city last Friday on
the charge of the larceny of the horse
and wagon. preferred by the deserted
husband.
The couple will be brought back to
this city by means of extradition -pa-
pers and will be prosecuted. Wilcox,
when he appeared, after the elopement,
before Alderman Bailey, of the Thir-
teenth ward, for the warrant stated
that "he didn't care so much about
the elopement as he did for the horse
and buggy" The outfit was valued at
1925.
THE HERALD'S STORY.
"Wilcox, on making inquiries of his
brother-in-law." said the New York
Herald yesterday, was told that he
saw Mrs. Wilcox and the farm hand
driving away early in the evening of
Dec. s, toward Hopton. Mr.. Wilcox
went to Hopton and found that at
this place Andrews had disposed of the
outfit for $75. much against the protests
of Mrs. Wilcox. He then traced them
to Binghamton, thence to Jersey City,
and thence to this city.
THE matter was reported to the po-
lice, and Detectives Boyle and Charl-
ton, of headquarters, were assigned to
look up the couple. Mrs. Wilcox was
found, yesterday morning, at No. 81
West Twenty eighth street, where she
had hired out as a servant. Andrews
was found at No. 6S Morton street,
where the couple took lodgings when
they arrived in this city. Andrews
tried to get work and failed, and then
Mrs. Wilcox set about earning the liv-
ing for both.
Andrews was so rustic and green
that no one would employ him. and he
couldn't get work as a manual laborer
without a pull, and this he didn't have
Andrews looked frightened in court
Mrs. Leona Wilcox, who left a comfort
able home and three children, and who
is now doing drudge work to support
an inapt affinity, did not seem to be
sorry over her act.
"She chatted cheerfully with An.
drews and tried to cheer the fellow
up. Mrs. Wilcox is twenty-six years
old. On the occasion Of her marriage
to Wilcox she eloped, and she seems
| to have a prediction for this sort OF
thing.
REMANDED TO JAIL.
"After hearing the case Magistrate
| Meade remanded both Andrews an6
| Mrs. Wilcox for thirty days to the
| Jefferson Market prison to await requi.
| sitions from the governor of Pennsyl.
vania. When Mrs. Wilcox heard the

worried"

extradition of Andrews and Mrs. VIII.

clever and shapely women in catchy

"A Trip to Venice" were the features in
Irwin Brothers Venetian Burlesquers'

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
Large Audience Present.

Large audiences saw "Blue Jeans" Sat-
urday afternoon and evening at the Ly-
ceum. The company is not as competent
as some of the others that have pro-
duced the Indiana melodrama here, but
it gave a very satisfactory production of
the piece. AS usual, the buzZ-saw scene
was received With great favor.

An intensely interesting melodrama,
"Cubas Vow" will be seen at the Acad-

the story is written around the incidents

down-trodden Cubans before the assas-

has handled the material at hand in a
forcible manner, utilizing the unexceiled
bravery and daring of those determined
men led by Gomez and Maceo, to good
effect,
