J|ittf|{tm|ouiinat. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17TH, 1885. Published by R. A. BUMILLER. PROSPECTS of a boom in the coal business next year are very favorable. It is thought that on account of the large demands the production in the Anthracite region will be larger than in any year before this. ROBERT GARRET, President of the Baltimore A Ohio Railroad Company, has resigned as a director of the New Jersey Central. A conclusion drawn from this fact is,thst the Baltimore & Ohio has given up hopes of ever get ting control of the latter road. * THE first volume of Gen. Grant's biography, written by himself, appear ed last week. It contains nineteen illustrations and fifty-nine chapters, of which the last twenty three treat of the late rebellion. In the front part of the book the General gives a histo ry of his life. The second volume is expected to be issued next March. WITH the exception of the small but superwise Republican journals in the country, President Cleveland's mes sage is universally considered an able though lengthy document Of course, a great many differ with him on cer tain questions, but the bulk of the message must be regarded as a fair and thorough treatise ou everything pertainiug to good government. The tariff gets a touch which pleases the protectionists and chills the freetraders. The silver men do not altogether like his idea of suspending the coinage of silver dollars. His views on civil service are approved by all fairmind ed citizens. Cleveland need not be ashamed of his message and his democratic constituents have a right to be proud of the able proclamation. ANOTHER prominent man has joined the list of departed Americans of fame. Wm H. Yanderbilt, the richest man in the United States, or perhaps in the world, supposed to be worth fully S2OO ,000,000 died suddenly at his res idence in New York City, last Wed nesday afternoon, of apoplexy of the brain, whilst in conversation with Robert Garrett, President of the Bal timore and Ohio railroad. The sud den demise of the millionaire repeats bnt the serious lesson, that great men, whether they owe their fame to brilliant achievements in war or peace, in literature or art, or to im mense riches, are all doomed to meet the stern messinger of death. The news caused a ripple ot excitement in the more important financial circles, bat on the country at large it had but little effect, Yanderbilt is gone, but his millions remain. THE YANDERBILT estate appears to have been divided among the descend ants of the dead millionaire without favoritism or partiality. The feat- 1 rures of the will that are of most * terest to the public are the cbfti< ' bequests and t.H ; I J" t 1 ' .table bulk of the estate Ma ' .on of the Duiaoi trust during the _ children. The charitable beq appear exceeding ly stnall y portion to the entire a mount or ne As Yanderbilt never AG a public benefactor t£iat he left only one of his many mil lions to charitable objects. The trust feature ot the instrument will have a reassuring effect upon the great railway and other interests in which the Yanderbilt money is in vested. It insures the earnest co-op eration of the trustees with the im mense sums which they represent in maintaining and increasing the value of the properties in which these mil lions form a controlling interest. On the whole, the will seems to have been the work of a very fairminded and sensible man and to leave less rooui for criticism than such instruments generally invite.— Times. THE following editorial from Mon day's Patriot in speaking of compara tive expenses is a fair eulogy to "Un cle Sam," the popular personage rep resenting the United States : When Uncle Sam commenced house keeping the., expenses of his whole establishment scarcely equalled the amount that is now required for one of his smallest departments The ex penditures of the general Government in 1795 were four millions. If it had been told the patriarchial economists who managed the public affairs of that early period that the time would come when the annual expenses of the national household would amount to two hundred and fifty millions, exclus ive of interest ou the public debt, such a seemingly wild statement would have been made to incredulous ears. Yet that was the amount that our liberal Uncle found necessary for decent housekeeping during the last fiscal year, besides fifty-one millions of dol lars required for the payment of in terest on his debts. One week's inter est amounts to one-fourth of the sum expeuded for the entire Government in 1795. As late as 1855 fifty-two millions cov ered all the necessary expense, which was four millions less than is now an nually needed by Uncle Sam to pay pensions to those ot his boys who be came disabled, and to the widows of those who were killed, in defending his estate in a dilliculty that occurred some years ago. The old gentleman who personifies our nationality has about $400,000,000 I in his strong box, and in that respect is far from being hard up. Hut as large as that amount may seem to be it is small in comparison with his debts which amount to $1,848,000,000, leaving a balance of nearly a billion and a half against him in the general account. An ordinary individual who should find such a balance on the wrong side of his ledger would think of ap pointing assignees, but not so with our Uncle who has fifty-five millions of en dorsers and can get trusted for any thing he wants.

PITTSBURG, December 11.—It is reported here by late comers from the Hocking Va'ley of Ohio that the coal syndicate will introduce digging and cutting machines into their mines, experiments haying proved successful. The miners now work for 50 cents a ton and want 60. while the operators say that to compete with other compan ies they should get out coal for 40 or 45 cents a ton. The machinist will re duce the cost of production at about 34 cents a ton, one machine mining fifty tons a day, or doing the work of six men. Justice Field, of the Supreme Court of the United States, in stating the policy of the law with regard to the Sabbath, recently made the following observations: "Laws setting aside Sun day as a day of rest are upheld, not from any right ot the Government to legislate for trie promotion of religious observances, but from its right to pro tect all persons from the physical and moral debasement which comes from uninterupted labor. Such laws have always been deemed beneficient and merciful laws, especially to the poor and dependent, to the laborers in our factories and workshops, and in the heated rooms of our cities; and their validity has been sustained by the highest court of the states". The New Scalp Law. For those who are interested the fol j lowing epitome of the new scalp law will lie found sufficiently explicit, i Just ices of the peace, hunters and all i others should cut this out .and paste it in their hats, or somewhere elso where it will not soon be lost: "Wild cat, $2; 1 foxes, either red or gray, $1; mink, i weasel and hawk, 50 cents; for every , owl except the Arcadian screech or barn owl, 50 cents." It is the duty of any person who has killed any of th animals or birds above named and who is desirous of availing himself of the provisions of this law to pro luce such slain animals or birds before any just ice of the peace of the county in which the same was killed, and make affidavit of the time and place of killing the same. When these requirements are complied with, the county commission ers will issue an order on the treasurer of the proper amount. John Snyder, a hard drinking, 45 year old man, at Huwley, /'a., entered a store while drunk and was put out. lie entered again, was put out and fell, his head striking a door step and ren dering him unconscious, lie was placed in a wagon tnd was taken home, but his wife refused to let liitu be brought in. lie was taken to his mother's and she, too refused. Ho was taken to the poor authorities, and they refused. He was taken to a hotel, and its proprietor refused, but let the wagon stand under a sbed with the man there in. He died while another effort was being made to find him shelter. His skull was broken in, and no care could have saved his life. Those who refused him shelter thought he was on one of his regular drunken tits, from which lie came out very ugly and abusive, and were afraid to have him around.
