William Fritchle, of South ISetlilo. hem, was the other morning found dead In a ruom cf his residence In said place. The Coroner's Jury rendered ti verdict of "Death from tatty degeueratlon of tbo heart' It was resolved at a delegate meet ing ot miners at Hazleton, Wednesday, to quit work at once. Five collieries were unrepresented, and It Is a question whether the strikers will allow the un represented men to work or not. Mr. Conrad Selple, for some years 'mluo host" of the Unner Lehlch Ho tel, and recently of the Hailetoti Hotel, took possession of the Carbon House, In this borough on Tuesday last.

MAUCn CHUNK. Anjr. 10, 1877. On tho whole tho condition ot things Is substantially the same as It was one week ago. Mining operations in the Summit Hill region continues suspend ed, while in the vicinity of Beaver Mea dow work is progressing as usual, and the latter Is certainly the wiser course, for though It may not enable tho men to accumulate (that day Is evidently past), It will certainly help to keep the wolf from the door, anl will prevent the operatives from falling tuto mischief which Idleness is only too apt to beget. It tho rumor of tho suspension and subsequent assignment for tho beuefit of their creditors, eald to have been made by tbe Ellen wold Coal Company, colliers and shippers, bo true, it Is but an additional proof .nat there is no loncer anything In the coal trade but loss, for when gentlemen like these, known as careful ousluess men ana owning one of the best mines In the Wvorulnc recion, are com pen en to suc cumb, what must others expect but the same thing It they persevere In doing business without a possible margin, a favorable turn would, no doubt, bavo ou bled this firm to continue in the tuide, but having stiuggled on. In hope of better times, until their strength was exhausted, a change for the belter will now come too late, if come it snouia at all. Tljelr failure very naturally crea ted much sympathy for the scleral members or tne urm hero, wnero their Individual worth and personal Integrity are best known and appreciated. But they aro not the first to go under, not will they bo the last others will follow unless the conditions of tho trade should materially change. Notwithstanding a partial suspension, considerable quantities of coal (from Upper Lehigh, Beaver Meadow and Hazleton districts) continues to be ship- fied. These Bhipmeuts must neicssarl y weaken operators, if true that all coal placed aboard at tldewater'ls so placed at a dead loss of at leant tl per ton, not valuing the coal anything In other words, those posted claim that operators submit to a tax of a do'lar a ton for the privilege of doing business! If Ibis Is co, how long wilt it bo beforo they will follow In the wake of the un fortunates gone before? In my humble opinion their ultimate ruin is only a question ot time, for come It must if the preseut system is persisted in. The attempt at wrecking Inst Sunday morning's early down passenger train, below Packerton, had a very decided tendency to convince men that tho time for the departure of tho U. S. troops here was nut yet. In consequence all rumors respecting their early depaiturn have ceaied. The L. V. RH. Co , offer $000 00 for tho arrest of tho wretch or wretches who attempted tho wrecking referred to. If found no mercy should be shown them. Generally speakinc railroad men have quieted down, accepting the present state of affairs with becoming grace, and fault fiuders are ouly to be found among tliow who liavn -liltbeitn failed to recover their former positions ; but even this data are becomlngbiore guard ed in their expressions. Knowlng'that their every move Is watched, they keep mum," uut tLey aro not to be trusted. Wright's proposed amendment to the Homestead law meets with very gene ral favor here. Fashionable Mauch Chunk being still loitering at tho sea-ehore, tho town Is rather quiet and sure to continue so un til about the mlddleof September, when a geueial return ot absentees may be looked tor. Mr. J. C. Finchcr. well known as the late publisher of a number of papers at uazieton, now hows lortli lu East Mauch Chunk, to which place he re moved on Tuesday. Concerning his projects, nothing has as yet transpired, but, being a stirrlnc Individual. Mr. Fiucher will certainly be heard from ere lung. lemperance meetings aro still In vogue here. At one of them, held on last Monday evening at the First Pres byterian Church, Lieut, Bacon, of the II, S. troops here, is said to have deliv ered a very excellent nddress. A num ber of soldiers lu attendance signed the pieuge. Our candidates for the Democratic nomination for the District Attorney ship are working hard to accomplish the object in view. As to who Is the stronger of the two it would be' hard to tell, although it is plain that the piesent Incumbent has many advantages not' possessed by his competitor. The detachment of the 1st Artillery stationed here were paid on Wednes day. That this event should have given rise to some excesses, was but to have been expected. There was, as I a.n In formed, a very dlssraceful set-to be tween four civilians nnd a soldier of the permanent parly at a place on Susque hanna street, in the courso of which the drunken soldier was badly used up. i ne snian amount aisuursea among the few arrlllerists caused quite a splut ter on vveunesaay ana Thursday, nna bids fair to continue while the money shall last ; the greater part of this will go to swell the piles of the proprietors of drinking place, ot course. It's a way soiuiers nave, as the Very nature of their MBTiF.il Is not calculated to teach prudence and economy. You know this, probably, by past experi ence i It's either a "least or a famine." And now we aro to have a grand strike, embracing the entire Lehigh Re gion, after all. It wan decided upon on Wtdnesdaj, and on this (Thursday) morning became effective nt all the col lieries of the legion except those worked by Messrs. A. Pardee & Co. Ill pre pared to continue a lonir strike as both miners aud business men are, it is not likely to seriously curtail the year's production ; and fur this very reusou it is more than doubtful whether lha end In view will be accomplished. The pro vallinir opinion Is that their necessities will soon compel the strikers to resume at present rates. Whether those aro Just It would be hard to tell lor any but an expert, but operators contend that it Is all they are able to pay. They also claim that at present rates tbey bad been sinking fully a dollar per ion on all coal shipped to tide-water, and that, but for keeping tho mines from flood ing, they had better not work at all, All with whom I'vo yet conversed on tho subject predict for this strike a speedy collapse, although unaer the cir cumstances they don't particularly care how long It may last provided the strikers do not interfero with dead work. Now that strangers may visit the coal region with greater confidence, visitors are multiplying and hotel traffic is on the Increase. The Mansion Is slowly lining, and nt tho American It's glow ing more lively than it has been for some time. To-day the second large excursion patty of tho season visited the Glen nnd passed over thn Switch Back. They were from Bound Brook, N. J., nnd Lancaster, l'a., and came over tho L. V. R. tt. Three years ago the last successful season we've had tho number of ex ctirslous that had arrived previous to the first of September was 58. Figures won't lie, they say, nnd a comparison of figures tells the tale. In mentioning tho strike I should have stated that at Lattltuer, Holly wood, Mt. Pleasant, Buck Mountain, Humboldt, and Eckley work is stilt progressing. is. it, Cooke, East Mauch Chunk's now postmaster, took possession of the office on last Monday, and consequently tho country's safe.

The attention ot our readeis is di rected to the following letter, from " Justice," an Intimate friend of Rev. S, Ncitz, P. E., and a prominent mem ber of tho Evangelical Association, in relation to tho statement of our Big Creek correspondent, "Revere," in last week's Issue, wherein lie made asser tlons reflecting upon Rev. S. Neltz, and stating he was the cause of there being no camp meeting held there this year, ' Revero " was evidently misinformed on tho subject, and was probably led to make the remarks and stilcturo ho did by a possible enemy of Rev. Neltz ; we, therefore, cheerfully publish tbo following letter from "Justice," fully beUeving that ho knows whereof ho writes : That SlemleravlUe Camp-meeting v Wwlt bvfore last "Revere." of Blf? ureeK, puuiisiiea a camp-meellng lo be Hem at the above named place, ana promised to give us more Information in the future. In last week's Advocate he says there will be no camp. meeting. and accuses our esteemed Presidina Elder as being the entire fault for hav ing none. "Revero's" accusation is certainly slanderous, defamatory and Injurious to the Elder's reputation, nnd therefore neeus explanation and refuta tlon. "Revero" gives several reasons why tho committee did not comply with the Elder's requests. He says "the com mittee were lo pieuge themselves to nay the fare and expenses and board all the visiting ministers free." The Elder says, "I never required of that commit' tee lo pay fare nnd expenses of all the visiting ministers and board them freo : I only wanted the fare paid of those preachers whom l cailea there as work crs." xins is an old custom in our church, to pay tho faro of the workers, and has always been regarded ns reason able. "The laborer Is worthy of his hire." "Revere" says, "he (the Elder) un doubtedly wanted the lion's share (as Is customary on such occasions) ot the collection lifted." The Elder says, "I did not say, nor even think, anything about pay or a lion's share for myself." This he says 1 la n ltnaa ftlntirior " If la elrr.nl,, falsehood that it is customary In our Church, that on such occasions, the Presiding Elders get the lion's share the largest portion of tho collections. "Revero" needs more light on theso points "Revere" may I maul no to be come one day a P. E., but I can nssuro him that It Is more pleasant to bu a lariuer ana a teacher than to be a r. E. especially If all our members were all Inclined as "Revere" Is. Have it distinctly understood that the commit tee did not " decide " ou the reasons given by " Revere " to abandon the camp. The fact Is, the Elder cugges ted the idea, to at least a majority of the committee, and they were willing aim seemed to tie pleased to nave none. The Elder's reasons for abandoning tbe camp are 1. the selected place Is not a suitable one. 5. Tho necessity ot having a large tent for services during rain, is appar ent, und there was none engaged, and It is rather costly to secure one. 3, The prospect of getting tent hold ers was rather poor and discouraging. 4. A few tavern-keepers were to foot the bill ot fare, which be firmly op poses. 6. lie believes that the honest and faithful Christian can be saved without camp meetings in this time ot financial depression, when our people, as well as others, can scarcely make their tern poral and other rellgbus ends meet. "Justice " feels Inclined to think It would be a timely and prudent act If " iteveie" would ransack a large vocab ulary to find more suitable name : " Revere, to venerate, to reverence and to honor li estimation," is not at all appropriate to attach to such a calumni ous article.

Tbe business Is active and prices bold up well, encouraging tbe belief tbat tbe market will continue to the end of tbo season more In tbe control ot tbe producers than it was during all tbe (oreoart ot tbe year. Tbe Reading Rail' road Company and the Reading Coal and Iron Company are persistent In tbelr policy, adopted at tbe time tbe combination waa broken and tho proposition ot Mr. Oowen to pool the Boa1 product waa declined by tbe other producing et,a carrying companies, homely, to throw as mnch coal from tbe Scbnylklll region Into the markestaswas practloal Irom Its unequalled facilities for the movement of tbat great staple, 1 ho temporary obstruction of a fortnight ago In tbat region has passed, bnd, with a good understanding between tbe companies and their omployees, the outlooK Is quite saUstactory TherewlHbenoshoit supply of coal, nor Is It probable that prices will fall below a fair re muneration, Tonnage Is tbo great purposed tbo Rending Railroad Company, and Is a won. derf ul source of revenue.
