George Walck.of Upper Mauch Chunk, a brakeman on the Central Railroad, fell from tho cars onto the track at Hauto on 700,000 tons, whilo tho amount of anthracito is almost tho same as for 1887. Tho ex orbitant price and the difficulty of getting full supplies, have led some largo manufac tures to givo up anthracite coal entirely and use bituminous in lis place. Nearly the wholo gain of tho anthracito producing com panies is in their western trade, and on this they levy such heavy tolls that there seems a possibility that they may kill that also.

The demand for anthracite during tho past week has not been so importunate as It was during the last two week of July and the month of August, The Inquiry for coal, however, Is better than usual for this period of tho season, as the trado this year became active a month earlier than In tho past severa' seasons. Tho business now bo- lng done Is principally In fillings old orders, and the weekly production of coal, while much larger than In the corresponding weeks of 1887, is not sufficient to enable shippers to satisfactorily supply tho de mands of their customers.

Ho was born on De cember 7, 1840, For tho past sixteen years ho has been tho popular landlord of the Stcmlcrsvlllc Hotel and Is the Incumbent of tho offlco for which on Monday ho re ceived tho unanimous nomination.

Tho nominations being completed the convention adjourned. county committee meeting. At a largly attended mectlng'of the coun ty commltco held In the Grand Jury room of the Court House, at ono o'clock, C. W. Lcctz, was without opposition, elected chairman of the county committee for the ensuing year. Mr. Lentz accepted the position wlth.a graceful, f ull-of-fact talk of about fifteen minutes In which he urged tho county committee to lend him all pos slble help, that the majority for Cleveland, In little Carbon might foot up 1000 or more .He was loudly and long applauded. He was empowered with the prlyllege of select ing his own secretary and treasurer. Charles W. Lentz, of Jfauch Chunk, chairman of the Domocratlc county com' mlttee, was born "way down In Towamcn slng" township, on May 28, 1850. Charley was "rlz" as most boys at that time. In 1873 he was In the drug business at Lchigh ton, later he moved to Welssport where he carried on tho same business. Ho gradu ated from a Philadelphia College of pharm acy with high honors. While a resident of Welssport he was elected coroner and In 1882 was elected sheriff. He was defeated for Register and Recorder last year by Jas, Handwork, but with all ho Is a red-hot and Indefatigable Democratic worker and his re election shows the good sense of tho com mittee. Charles H, Seidle,the Democratic nominee for Associate Judgo, stands about flyo foot ten, Is of medium build and first saw the light of day on the 8th of December, in the year 1842, In the township of New Ma honing, one of the most prosperous farm ing localities In this section of Pennsylvania, He was educated In the common or public schools and for one or two winters attend ed the Welssport Academy, where he ex hibited a wonderful aptitude and soon dis tinguished himself in the class studies, After leaving school as a student he accept ed a position as teacher In one of the dis trict schools, which position bo held and tho duties of which he faithfully discharged for five consecutive winters. For nigh onto a quarter of a century ho has been In the mercantile business at what Is now known as Normal Square, here, also, a few years ago, a post office was established through his efforts and bewas appointed post-master. During the late rebellion he served In the three months malltla service under Gen Albright. Mr. Seldle Is one ot Carbon G. W. Esser, noralnco for prothonotary, was born In Allentown, Pa., on tho fourth day of April, 1844. nis parents camo to Mauch Chunk In 1847 and ho has lived there oyer slnco. Ho was educated in tho public schools of that borough, and In the Mauch Chunk Acadomy along with a num ber of other young men, who haye slnco be come prominent in business and places of trust At an early ago ho ob tained a position as clerk for tho Lehigh Coal aud Navigation Co., at tho tho wclgh- lock collector's offlco at a salary of $25 per month, which position ho filled for five or six years, with great credit; and also ac quired a thorough knowlcdgo of tho coal traffic, nis knowledge, abilities and enorgy well equipped him for his successful career in the future. His actively brilliant mind caused him to resign his position with thaLc- hlgh Coal and Navigation Co. His services wcro eagerly sought after, and ho accepted agencies for tho Morris Canal & Banking Co., Bounton Iron Co., Wllkcsbarro CoalA Iron Co,, Franklin Coal Co., Now Jersey Coal Co., and a numbcrof Coal Companies; and at tho early age of 21 or 22 his salaries aggregated over six thousand Collars per annum. His spirit was still restless, and after holding these valuablo positions .for about thrco years ho resigned them to en gage In the wholesale- coal business. In, the selling of coal ho was an expert and soon amassed considerable money. Ho afterwards engaged in tho mining of coal In Mabanoy City and was at ono timo the owner of the coal collieries now owned by Lentz, Lilly & Company, at Park Placo. During tho coal disaster and financial crises of 1871 and 1872 ho was forced to the wall, and with many others compelled to succumb to tho inevitable, As a matter of fact coal was then sold In Now Tork for $1 per ton less than it cost to mino it and dollvcr it there. He afterwards continued as coal salesman until the Democratic party nomi nated him for tho offlco of Prothonotary and clerk of the courts of the county of Carbon, In 1870. tn tho now Cold of poli tics, his experience, brains and energy soon made themselves felt in uarbon county, and he acquitted himself so satisfactorily In tho conduct and management of that respons ible office that the Democrats renominated him In 18821885, and to his credit be it said, again on last Monday, for another term of three years, with greater unanimity and less opposition than when ho was nomi nated tho first time. This proves that when the people really want a good and faithful public servant to continue to serve them, that a fow politicians can not always defeat their wishes. In 1882 he rccelycdtho high est majority over his opponent, that any candidate ever received in tho county. When he leaves the office it will bo with a clean and enviable record, his friends can point to It with prldo.

I have been using Brandcth's Pills for tho last thirteen years, Tand though I have had nine children, I iiave neyer had a doctor in the house, except three times, when we had an epidemic of scarlet fever, which we soon banished by a vigorous use of Brandreth's Pills. I have used them for myself, two or three a night for a month, for liver com plaint, dyspepsia, and constipation, In (liar- rhcra, cramps, wind colic, indigestion, one or two Brandreth's Pills fixed the children at once. A box of pills is all the medicine chest we require in the house. We use them for rheumatism, colds, catarrh, biliousness and impure blood.

This " good namo at homo" Is "a tower of strength abroad." It would require a volumo to print all Lowell people havo said in favor ot Hood's 8arsaparilla. Mr. Albert Eatcs, living at 23 East Tlno street, Lowell, (or IS years employed as boss carpenter by J. W. Bennett, president ot the Erlo Telephono Company, had a large running sore come on his leg, which troubled him a year, when he began to Uke Hood's Sarsaparlua.

"Ah, whither bound?" a traveler cried, Who rested by a fountain side. "I go to seek," replied the sage, "The greatest wonder of tho age." "Then from your saddlanour descend And call your journey at an end, For here within this sack I hold The greatest wonder bought or sold." And stooping down, the speaker drew A cake of Ivoky SoAr in view. "No alkali this soap contains, It leaves the lace and takes the stains ; It comes from oils, sweet as the roso That in the palace garden grows ; It floats like, cork upon the wave ; With this wo may both wash and shave -" " Enough, enough!" the student cried; "You've saved me from a longer ride," And turning round his wisdom. showed, For back to Ispahan he rode. A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as tho 1 Ivory' (" they ARE NOT, but liko all counterfoils, lack the peculiar and remark able qualities of the genuine. Ask for " Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting It. CopyrlRht I8S, by Procter A Oamblo. Fifty-Two W eeks for One Dollar. Carbon Advocate. Cheapest, Largest and Best LOCAL Paper in the County.
