that on July 2tf, at South Kastnn. the

stopped a train of cars on the Lehigh
Valley liallruad, to which a tnnll car
containing mall matter was attached,
and that defendant said tlmt by order
of a committee the train could not go
on. The defendant prod 11 ;ed a telegram
which he had sent to tho Postmaster
General during the strike, stating that
though the strikers had offered tho com.

to carry the mails, Uiey had refused to
carry tliem. JudgHCadwalladercI'dlrgcd

Letter from Mnucli Chunk.
Haucii cnusK, Am. m, 1S77.
It tho world moves, as they say, It
has moved very slowly with us here
since I wrote to you last, for, on the
wholo, things remain Identically tho
same. Tho very eamo stalo of affairs
exists tiie strlko continues, the soldiers
remain1, ttnd "hard times" still Turnlsh
the chief; yea, almost exclusive topic" df
conversation.
The oftlcers' hop, which n week ago
was one of the tilings to be, Is no lodger
so, as it took place on the evening ap
pointed, and transpired Jus about In
the ny as written up by Brother Boyle
of the Coal Gazette, with prophetic
eye, six Hours In ddvanco of Its actual
occurrence. " All's well that ends
well," of course ; but what guaranty
had Brother Boyle at tho tlmo ho pub
lished an account of it that the ball
would actually take place ? Had there
been a "slip," what a pitiable plight
our confrero would have been In I As
it was, tho ball turned out to be all the
prophetic Boyle said It had been.
Notwithstanding the strlko prevail
ing throughout tho balrmcd of the re
gton, the miners of A. Pardee & Co.
continue faithfully at wbrk, perempto
rily refusing to lend ari ear td the per
1 tent entreaties of the strikers to Join
their movement. That theirs .should
be the only party of metl at work while
all the others are idlo, speaks well both
for them and their employers, showing,
as It does, the existence, ot the bi st re
lations between tho two. It is indeed
the only redeeming feature in tho pro
sent stiilte. The general impression
now Is that a small, but general, ad
vance of rates In miners' wages will be
conceded on or about the first of Sep
tember. Should this come to pass, and
the upward teitdehcy of the coal mar
ket bi maintained, a general revival of
trade throughout tho te&ion will be the
consequence.
David Lttts, who acted a rather con
spicuous part during the late railroad
strike, for which ho was attested on
Sunday evening by oWcers Williams
and Brelsford, was, on Monday, taken
to Philadelphia, where, no doubt, plenty
of time will be given him to repent him
self of ills late folly.
Several otner parties', whoso mystefU
ous dlsappearnnco I clironbled a week
ago, are alsd inquired for by the detec
tive's, but its yet nd clue has been ob
tained as to their whereabouts ; but
that eventually they will be caught no
one doubts, 'iho probabilities are that
the lesson ntitv being taught the Strikers
will bfi taken to heart, and preveut a
repetition of the dlsgiuc'eful scenes of
the yinst.

Coal traffic by canal, almost exclu
sively confined to shipments from A.
Pardee & Co., were rather limited last
week, and havo continued so during tho
present ; still, quite a number of boat
men have been enabled to clear for
parts along the line. Poor fellows I
it's been up-hill business with them all
along, nnd if any class of the communi
ty U deserving of pity, they're Certain
ly the ones. I knew ot many who thus
far during the season have made but
two or three tiips; and yet they must
not only live, but hire help and keep a

Mr. L. Friedman's exteuslve store
room at Summit Hill is no more, it hav
ing been destroyed by fire at an early
hour hist Monday moriiluu. When Hist

the parties on the ground' first aroused
the proprietor ; but by the lime tills was
dune tiie destructive element i.ad made
audi headway In the interior of the
building that all thoughts of extinguish
ing the uro had to be abaudoued. They
betook themselves Instead to save as
much as they could of the contents ot
the cellar. Several barrels of coal oil,
a few barrels of hams, so jju sugar, etc.,
were saved, also tho contents of tho
dining room and kitchen on the first
floor. All else wad lost, even the cloth
ing of tho family, who were compelled
to quit the promises almost nudo.
While tho flro was yet burning briskly
evidences of Its being of Incendiary
origin were plainly visible, largo holes
having been mado under the show
window through which the faggots had
been inserted ; and that tho design wa3
plunder was evidenced by tho almost
complete, disappearance ot all article-)
that weho known to have been removed
from tho burning building. Although
Insured for $8,000, Mr. Friedman's loss
will bd considerable. Mr. O'Donnell's
dwelling, near by, was partly destroyed;

shop, as well as Friedman's stable and
