Jamln Klotz, a resident of this place
nno a uoarman on tho iehlgu Canal,
While stopping at New" Brunswick llad
occasion to exchange ono ot his mules,
and having to glvo a certain suth of
money on the bargain, which ho did nbt
have with him, he started at once to
come to his homo to get the requisite;
amount with tho Intention of returning
again on the following day. When he
came to Metui-hen station, on the Ani
boy Railroad, he found that a passen
ger train would not be duo for several
hours, alnl wishing to bo as expeditious
as possible, he boarded a passing coal
train which was bound tor Packerton.
When they oatiio to Slatlngton, on the
L. V. It. It., the rear braketnan of the
train, who had been but a short time
engaged In railroading, stated to Mf.
Klotz that six cars ahead of them a
coupling was giving way, and that It
must at once bo replaced. Mr. Klots
being an experienced railroader, offered
to assist him, and so they went forward
to make the change. The engineer had
lessened tho speed of tho train for the
purpose. The broken coupling was
then removed nnd a sound ono Inserted,
but as the braketnan was about to dron
the coupling pin, the engine gave a sud
den Jerk, which drew tho cars at the
place of coupling apart, and Mr. klotz
and the binkemau were precipitated on
the railroad, nnd In the' twinkle of an
eye the six cars In the rear had passed
over them. The body of the brakeman,
wnose namo we could not nscertaln,
was completely cut in two, and death
was Instantaneous : while Mr. Klotz
had his right foot crushed and three
fingers of the right hand lacerated, and
his whole body was urulgedand wound
ed almost beyond recognition. He was
urougnt to ijelilghtou on the 5:30 ti. in.
passenger train, in a very precarious
condition, where Drs. Derhatner and
Zero amputated his les abovu the ankle.
and two of his fingers. At this writing
an. muia is aoiug remaiKauiy well,
and his physician anticipate his speedy
recovery
Court Gossip.

Tile Dlstriot Attorneyship.
lUuosiso Twp.. Carbon County, Fa..)
Sept. titn, 167. I
EDnoa Cannon Advocate: In advocating
the claims of Peter J. Meohan for the office of
District Attorney ot this county. I simply show
my preference of two men; I do not visa to say
one word against Mr. Slewors. I am In favor
of rotation In offlco, anJ the one term system,
and especially ao In the office of District Attor-
ney. In my opinion one term should satisfy
the ambition ot any young attorney. The argn.
mont advanced by Mr. Blowers u that most of
his predecessors hnVo held the ndlco two terms,
graut ng that they did. Is that anr reason why
this rule should bo continued 1 The onto Is to
be desired pnoclpally for tho praotlce Ii gives,
and not that It is nu olncetrnm which any groat
peeuuiarr advantages inAv b derireii. a 11 ah.
desire tno ofllco should haro fair play, anil an
eqnal cbunco lunmoot the comities of this
Suite tbe oue term system prevails, and sncti
should be the case in this county. Another
argument la that Mr Meeliau la ton new a man.
Is there any taw or rnle rrnmririim man tn ilva
a actlulto number of yearn In a county befote
ho cm be a candidate lor this oflcel I know of
no such rule It It does exist, such an argument
la weax, Mr. Mcehan Is not a now man he hai
beeo practising his piolesslon fur h period ot
three years in tbis county, ana in thai time has
become well known to tuo people, and made a
record for himself that will bear comparison, at
least, with tunt ot any young attorney at tho
bar of Ihia countv. I do nntaavfiiar. Mt- M hfla
not been a faithful othoeri 1 beliuve he baa
been. What I say nf Mr. siewers, I could say
of Mr. Meelian with equal tiulh.
Mr, Meohan Is a young man deserving of con.
fldenee, and I trait ue Convention will give
him the nomination. Jf It does, the confidence
will not be mlsplated, of this I am certain. As
tar as leiral knowledge is concerned ho la emin.
entlv fitted fur tbe iositlon. lie is also a fluent
and efloctlre speaker. During thotlmehe has
bee '1 in the county ho hai oeen a lalthlut work,
er for the party, nnd Is thereloro Justly entitled
to recognition. Otye him the nomination. V.
Important to Tobacco Sellers,
Many grocerymcn and other dealers
In tobacco, are in the habit of cutting
plugs ot tobacco up Into small pieces
and retailing them from cases, jars.etc,
which Is a technical violation of the In
ternal Revenue laws. The law allows
retail dealers to st II only from packages
properly stamped. Tobacco can only
be retailed from stamped packages, and
to sell It otherwise than from the origin
al stamped packages they aro liable to
seizure. Peremptory orders are Issutd
to ltevenue Agents and Deputy Collec
tors of Internal ltevenue to selte all
tobacco not found in stamped packages.
Penalties are Indicted for not destroy
ing stamps on cigar boaes and tobacco
packages as soon as emptied. If all
engaged In the sale ot tobacco and ci
gars read this aud comply with tbe re
quirements, they will save ruoney and
trouble.
Prlcea ofCoal.
Saward's Circular, of Sept. 5, saysi
We do not Ond much coal .ottering yet,
dealers are not excited at all; the sup
ply during the week has been from
odds and ends of stock coal, of which
thero is always more or less on hand, of
all varieties; the Lehigh coals from
those who had all along kept at work,
aud Philadelphia and Readlug coal.
Prices on tho wholo ara not materially
different from last week; a statement
that the Reading Company was so full
of orders that it could enter no more
except at l'nlladelphia prices, aud
freight added, did not scare many, but
on the contrary was looked upon as an
effort to glvo the price an upward turn,
and buyers are off. We quote, 13.75 to
tl.00 for broken, egg and stove, and
18.60 for chestuilt, f. o, b. To make a
trade there are often opportunities of
discounting theso rates somewhat.
