Tho Reading Railroad Company suspended at tlio close ot work Satur day about ono hundred machinists in definitely. In tho blacksmith and boi ler shops about twenty-five journey men, together with their helpers, some forty in number, were also suspended for an indefinite period. In all the suspension embraces over ono hundred and fifty hands. Scarcity of work is given as the only cause. No new engines are being built at present and tho hands retained will bo kept upon repair work In tho car shops of tho company thero is an abundance of work, new passenger and freight cars beiug turned out as fast as possible, including a number from tho Jersey Central. Twq men and a boy were suffocated by black damp near Scranton early on Saturday morning. They were found in a well near tho shaft by John MoDonnald, the engineer. The names of tho i ictiras wero David McCowan and William Barnes and a driver boy, named Johnie Wolcott How they got thero is a mystery. They wero cold and had evidently been dead sev eral hours. Tho theory of the work men is that Wolcott probably looked into tho well to gratify the boy's curio sity, was overcome by gas and fell in, and that tho others went to his assis tance and wero overcome in a similar manner. This seems improbable, and thero aio many who believe that the tragic mystery is Iho result of foul piay. Senator John Stewart, in a recent in terview, said of Governor Pattison, when speaking of tho extra session : "I beliove tho Governor acted upon the best of motives. Tho result may dis appoint mo and vindicate him. As to his yielding in this, or nuy other mat ter of public duty, to personal or polit ical considerations affecting those who stand n ar him, I do not entertain it as a suspicion. From all that I have seen and know of tho man, I believo that ho can bo influenced only as you O.an nnnvlnrn hta Imlrrtnnnf TTn ' W.....WW . . . J b w nit.

Tho subject under discussion was tho con gressional bill, anil tho ball was opened by a republican member from Indlnnn county, Lowroy,who had tho courago to bo fair to the democrats. Lowroy held that as tho Presidential voto was taken as tho bnslii of tho Congressional apportionment thu number of districts duo tho Democrats would bo thirteen and a fraction and tho republicans four teen nnd a fraction, but In his opinion tho only way to make Iho apportion ment was to tako tho map aml,without considering politics, draw the lilies In accordance with the constitutional re quirements of contiguous' territory and nearest possible approach to equality oi population. Ho nnd tiono mat and found tho Democrats entitled to eloven suro and tho Republicans to sixteen suro anil ono doubtful district. Republicans hissed and Democrats applauded. .Now came the excitement, simmo, in a speech praising Lowrey, charged uio luiiur jiupuuiiuuns wiin iiuvuig made an extra session necessary and lauded tho Democratic leaders from Jefferson down, Republicans jeered at his mention of Jackson and Demo crats retorted that "Andy" was bettor than Mahout', anyhow, bharpo s con cluding remarks, that thero wero as many Democrats as Republicans in tho tv:.. ! . .i- . Ai union army, uuiii-uiui.iy unuw uiu House into confusion, as if a bomb shell had burst upon tho floor. A doz en Republican, shouted "Mr. Speak er!" "That's not true, and tho gentleman knows it's not," exclaimed War Veter an Brown, of Erie, with fierco gesture. "The wholo rebel army wero Demo crats," was heard from Landis, of Lan caster, above tho babel. "You'ro a liar," cried Mackin, of Philadelphia, jumping towards Laudis, who raauo no reply and could not bo heard it ho did, po great was tho con- fit-inn. Things gradually grow worse untiH lirown ot i-no snook his nst at tno Democrats generally nnd said : "It's only twenty years since you men wore the copperhead badge."' This threw tho House beyond Faun co's control again. Tho confusion nnd excitement wero greater than before. Democrats became hoarse trying to make Brown hear tho denunciations of him, and metnbors on both sides ming led their cries for order with the yells of the belligerents and tho shouts and pounding of tho Speaker. But for the interference of some of the cooler headed ones, thero would have been some black oyes and ' bloody noses. Having spent two and a half hours in the discussion nnd scenes of disorder the house adopted Lowrcy's amend ment and passed the bill on second reading. The Trade Dollar. For some timo past thero has bcon more or less agitation in tho cities over tho trado dollar, but no decisive action was taken until Saturday, when the banks gave notion that this coin would be received on deposit for eighty-five cents only. This warfare is" thought to be but temporary by gentlemen in fi nancial circles, but bank officials say that it will last ltng enough to drive tho coin out of circulation. Thero can bo but little doubt that this movement against tho coin is tho work of speculators whose object is to croato a panic, buy up the dollars, at the depreciated value, and alter tho ex citement is over, either put them in cir culation again, or create a sentiment that will induce congress to pass a law for the relief of tho holders of money. It is unfortunate that this movement has been started as tho loss must nec essarily fall on tho poorer classes. Men who havo but a few dollars mustuso them for tho necessaries of life, even if they lose fifteen conts on a dollar.whilo those who hold them in largo quanti ties will lay them away until relief comes, for it is almost certain that tho trado dollar will be worth par sooner or later. BISTORT OF TIIK DOl.LAIt. Tho trade dollar, as is well knowu, was never intended for circulation and is not accounted as monoy of the Uni ted States, being simply bullion stamp ed for exportation. When its coinage was authorized tho valuo of tho 430 grains of silver was a little more than one dollar in gold nnd tho trado dollars were eagerly taken in China, whero previously the Mexicau dollar had been tho popular coin. But the depreciation in tho silver brought tho trado dollars back, their valuo having sunk below ninety cenls, nnd tboy thus came into circulation, speculators oven taking their silver dollars to tho mint and having it stamped for the purposo of circulating it, until tho coinage of trado dollars was stopped in 187-, the whole number then having reached about thirty millions. Tho coin is not legal tender, but has simply passed as legal tender by common consent. It bears the imprint of 420 grains, 900 fine. Tho Bland dollar is 112 grains. Ac cording to tho report ot the directors of tho Philadelphia mint tho total issuo of tho trade is S35,959,3G0. When tho Bland dollar was issued in 1878, and mado a legal tender, the trado dollar was brought into discredit. At present thero are 89,200,900 standard dollars stored at tho sub-treasury in Philadel phia.and over $33,000,000 in Now York. In the accumulation of these dollars is seen tho only relief from tho depreciat ed dollar. Tho mint coins tho stand ard dollar at the rate of two millions a month. An Advance in Pig Iron. Tho Thomas Iron Company of Now York mado an announcement last Fri day of an advance in its prico for pig iron of $2 n ton on No. 1 and $2 a ton on No, 2. This will mako tho price $22 and $20. President Clark, of tho company, says that the demand warrants tho advanco. The trade, ho says, has recovered very rapidly of late, and owing to the largo number of furnaces that havo blown out recently ho thinks tho demand will more than equal tho supply within tho next throe months. President Clark savs that In tho last month tho Thomas Iron Cora pany has shipped morooro than in any ono month of its exjstenco heretofore. An Ex-Treaurer Short. An examination of tho accounts of ox-County Treasurer John T. Griffiths of Luzerne Co., rovealed tho fact that thoro was a shortage of $7,000. Tho dlscrenanov exists m thn nnntpil nn1 unseated land taxes aocount for 1880. It is bolived to bo boyond a doubt that tho treasurer is innocent of tnWinr nun penny of tho amount, and suspicion points' slrougly towards John Pollock, ins ouioi cierk. rouook was latoly employed in tho pension department at Washington, but loft thero recently for Fon Du Lao.

A Dud in Virginia. Richnrd F. Beirne nnd William C. Ulam, two Virginia editors, fought a duel at Waynes Boro in that stalo last Saturday. Elam was shot in tho leg. TIIK CAUSK OV Till". QUAUIIKI,. An editorial article in tho Whig (rc adjuster organ) on tho 21st of June, severely denouncing tho editor of tho State newspaper, created intenso ex citement throughout Richmond. By eleven o'clock every copy of tho paper was sold and extraordinary prices were offorcd for it. Tho Whig editorial, which personally indicated its writer as Mr. Elam, as well as Mr. Beirne, to whom it was directed, was called forth by an almost equally sovero and gen eral denunciation of Sonator Mabono, and his followers by tho letter, pub lished in tho State on tho previous evening. On tho 21st, upon tho affida vit of a policeman that both the parties wero about to commit a breach of the peace, a warrant was issued for tho ar rest of Messrs Elam and Beirne, neither of whom, however, could bo found. The unusually violent tone of tho respective newspapers precluded tho posibility ol any settlement of tho difficulty except by a resort to deadly weapons, and Mr. Beirno sent a ohnllcngo to Mr. Elam, which was accepted. They wore, how ever, prevented by tho authorities from meeting until Saturday. The pistol seems to bo mightier than tho pen in Virginia. It remains to bo scon now whether tho law is mightier than the pistol. In this cnlightcned agc it is high time that tho tcsort to "the code" be abandoned.

Cooper's Prankn ess, Senator Cooper showed tho horns of tho Republican senators in a speech raauo on luesday. Ho said in plain words that the extra session must go for nothing in order to insult the gover nor in oalliug tho legislature together to perform its duty to tho state, and that tho odium of failure and fruitless ncss of the present session must fall upon tuo executive. He tor ono was verv willing td uo nnv lontrth tnnltnin n r-i- j o such an end. He could go before tho pcoplo with some grace and unction in such an event and ns a matter of party expediency he would only bo too de lighted to do so. Aa a matter of "party expediency" the constitution is to bo disregarded, tho money of tho state paid out to tho legislature for doing nothing, with tho hope that this result will react upon tno governor. A more suicidal courso thau this could not bo pursued by any party, and should the republican sena tors follow the advice of tho "red head ed and hopeful'' leader, tho democrats will havo an issuo on which to go be fore the pcoplo next fall, that must surely win. Tobacco in Pennsylvania- Tho tobacco habit, liko that of alco hol, is universal. It is estimated that thero aro 1,500,000,000 human beings on tho globo to day, and according to current statistics 700,000,000, or nearly one-half use tho scductiye weed. These devotees inoludo tho most refined as well as tho most savago races. Tho disciples of Oscar Wildo pulls away at his cigarette in tho most fashionable club in London, nnd tho meanest sav ago in New Zealand puffs at his pipe. ihoro is tho broadest latitude, socially and territorially, between tho two, but as one touch of nature makes the whole world kin, so ono puff of tobacco smoke establishes friendly relations between tho most widely scattered members of the human race. Indeed, it is related that tho political fortunes of a man who afterwards became eminent iu political circles, had their origin in tho happy fact that ho was once able to supply the pipo of u President of tlio United States. Tho story runs that on the celebrated occasion when Andrew John son was b winging around tho circle, bo inquired in a car full of passengers, "Who will givo tuo a cigar or fill my pipe 1" Thero was no cigars, unfor tunately, on tho train, but thoro was ono individual who happonod to havo. a bag of "Killiklniok tobacoo, and who was ablo to satisfy Mr. Johnson with the soothing solaco his nerves so much needed. This man was after ward made a rovenuo collector, and bo camo a millionaire. DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. Another New Party, AN ri-.MONOrOI.V ANH NO KUSIONTIIK l'HINOIPI.ES. Bpec'tAl to 1'lttsburg Dispatch from ClilCAgo. "Other than wo aro opposed to mon opolies in every form, I cannot outline just what tho delegates lo our national convention, which is to bo held in IhU city Wednesday will do,'' said Mr. C. C. Post, secretary of the provisional committee of ithe nnti-monopolists. "Tho object of our conference is to form a new political party, and our main prlticiplu is lo fight tho present unjust discrimiunl ion of tho monopo lies. Wo shall form no nlllnncu or combination with the greenback or any other of tho old parties. They may bo delegates who havo been greenbackers, or democrats, or oddfellows, for that matter, but tlicy will int bo received ns such. Tho issuo which wo will pro sent will bo distinctly a fight against monopolies." "Thero is ono question upon which I think n mnjoiity of tho delegates aro united," said Mr. J. II. Burke, delegate of tho nnti-leaguo of San Francisco, "and that is tho abolishment of tho electoral collego and tho election of the president nnd vico president by a direct voto of tho people. I shall ad vocate this in our meeting, nnd shall also offer resolutions prohibiting tho appropriation by congress of any pub lic funds in tho general appropriation bill, except for the expenses of tho general government. I shall offer also a resolution requesting congress to enact laws taking tho interests of all railway companies in lands granted them, which would mako a difference of about $11,000,000 per year to tlio people. Then thero is tho prohibition of giving aid or credit by tho govern ment to nny private person, associa tion or corporation, also prohibiting congress from granting a charter to nny railway company or association whatever." "Wo think it is rather too early to form n new party upon our ideas," said Mr. N. B. K tfner, secretary of tho Now York Stato anti-monopoly league, "but wo are very glad of this confer ence, and think that it will bo produc tive of good. Wo will advocate urin. cipally a progressive movement in all tho states, looking to the eduoation of people to a proper understanding of the courso of all monopolies and tho establishment of leagues for that pur pose similiar to tho ono wo havo iu New York stato. Wo take tho broad ground of opposition to all monopolies, whether of money, lands, railroads, oil or of any name whatever, and there fore if we do start a now party cannot combine with the greenbackers or with any other party. In Now York wo have been iteadily at work for the past two years and are very stroug, really holding tho balauco of power, which was clearly shown in tho election of Governor Clevelaud. We keep a record of tho bills voted by tho mem bers of tho assembly, marking tho bad ones, and distribute these records to the people, thereby virtually black-listing many. About thirty were black listed iu this way last year, nearly all of whom failed of re-election." Skyward by Toy Baloon. A.

At tho still hour of midnight had the trump of Gabriel summoned us all to a worldly reckoning, more excite ment, consternation and weeping could not have come over the many good peoplojwho were present and witnessed tho most wonderful and miraculous es cape that over happened iu this or any other country. Mrs. Robert Elliott, o'f Texas, has been here for tho past ten days or more, to restore the health of her child, Birdie, a bright and sweet little cherub less thau threo years old, who is much emaciated from a spell of Texas fever. This morning about ten o'clock a strolling Italian mado his ap pearance in front of tho hotel, with a largo cluster of those red bladders like toy balloons. Major Hawkins, of Ala bama, to amuse littlo Birdie, who ho nt that time had in hie arms, tied the cord around her waist and then as is so often dono to'amuso children, gave her a toss of five or six feet into the air and held out his hands for her return. "Great God ! she is gone," cried tlio Major, as ho saw her rapidly going up, up, up, until she had passed the house-tops. Floating in tho clouds with outstretched hands, the littlo angel could bo distinct ly heard calling : "Mamma, mamma, mamma," until her voice becamo drowned by tho whistling of tho winds. All tho men at tho hotel started out iu boats.for the little ono was drifting out at sea. By an act of Divino Providence, Mr. Charles J. Voorhees, of tho Southern Express company, with a party of gentlemen wero out taking a sail. Mr. Voorhees is one of tho most expert riflemen in tho country, and as God had ordained it ho had on board his Smith its Wesson rifle. Ho at onco took in tho situation, remarking, "Six miles out at sea and going at tho i nto of ten miles an hour, and now four hundred yards high and every minute going higher, higher, higher. I can cut thoso balloons, and will do it or die." "Bang 1" went tho rifle but no chango in position. Again, again and again the fifth shot ono balloon disap pcared amidst tho shouts of tho boat men. At tho eighth shot it became evident that the balloons could no lon ger carry tho weight of the littlo float angel, as sho was gradually descending not in a straight lino but m a southeast direction, towards Barker's Island but whether dead or alive none could tell. Down, down, down she comes as gentle ns if handled by human hands nnd to fall into n cradlo of sand. With fear and trembling all ran up Ben Piver in front. "Gentlemen," says he, "I will bo dinged if sho ain't livo nnd kioking." Thero sat littlo Bir dio playing with a lot of sholls, nnd ns sho was picked up sho clung on to a handful, saying, "J)ese sela for my mamma. With tho nrizo all returned to tho boats. Thero Bat Mr. Voorhees with a death-like pallor on his countenance, and when told that ho had saved tho babo unhurt, his tendor heart gavo way and ho wept liko n child. Tho littlo darling came out ns bright ns a now pin and seemed to look on tho wholo matter as fun gotten up for her amuse ment. Thus ended a dav of tho most intenso excitement that tho oldest inhabitants at this old North Carolina resort ever dreamed or thought of, and may tho writer never again witness its like. A singular accident happeuod to Charles Davis, residing near Beading. Pa. Ho backed a pair of horses out of tho baru.
