Qminumcated.
Exilantlon,
The impression has somehow' gono abroad
in this community, that tho pastor of the
rackcrton M. E. church was refused the uso
of tho JF. E. church of this place, and was,
therefore, compelled to hold services in tho
Cemetery on n recent funeral occasion. Such
is not the fact, and the puriose of this com
munication is to disabuse tho public mind
and set the Church right before tho commu
nity. Without attempting to fix tho res
twnsibllity for the origination of this gross
misrepresentation, I simply deny, in this
public manner, that the church referred to.
ami in which i am pauor, was rciuswi tiie
above-mentioned party, and that tho public
may know the true state of the case 1 cautc
to be Inserted herewith an exact copy of tho
communication which I sent to the ustor of
the Packerton church in reference to the
matter:
LimoiiTo, Ta., Dec 26, 1877.
Rr.v. Wiuttok, Dear Dro.i I am inform
ed that you tlesiro to hold n funeral service
in our church to-morrow. You are eutiroly
welcome to tho church I but, ns tho child
died of a dieeaso Which is highly contagious,
I hear some of the pople iieio think it is
hanlly prudent to tako the corpse into tho
church lor fear of the jrassiblo oousequeucos,
I have very littlo apprehension of danger,
and yet I suggtit, if it will Iks agreeable to
tho family, that you first proceed to the
cemetery and bury the child, and then come
to the church and hold service, an order
which is frequently observed in this part of
the country. This is only a suggestion,! leave
yon td act on your judgment in the matter.
The church is at your service.
Yours fraternally,
i. P, BEOWN.
Letter from Jlnucli Chunk.
Maucii Ciicnk, Jan. 3, 1878.
In maklHf my bow to your readers on this
3d day of January, in tho year of grace 1 878
it may bo proper to wish all of them " a
happy New Year," and though the year just
post may not havo been a very prosperous
one with many of them, let us fondly indulge
a hopo for better days. Only hope, and it
will matter littlo In the end whether our ex
pectations shall bo rcallzcj or not, sinco wo
have tho sweet consolation that ho " who
lives upon hopes," may expect to " dio
fasting ;" and the latter fact, tho fasting, will
certainly render us moro fit for tho regions
above. So what s the odds t To tho young I
would say : Go it while you'ro young, throw
caro to tho dogs, and ns for tho rest trUst to
luclc and Providence. Never meet troubles
halfway) for " sufficient unto tho day is the
evil thereof." To the old I havo nothing
to say, as past experience must have taught
them what to do. Let them continue In the
path of duty, convinced that, no matter
what fato may havo in store for them the
end will bo tho same, and ono of these days,
bo it early or late, a kilid rrovidenco will
graciously jicrmlt them to " shutllo off tho
mortal coil" and thereafter rest in jieaee.
Never fret, ns you may thereby add to the
number of yqur days, and when tho game's
up, and you shall bo called away, dio laugh
ing, ifjiossible, nnd thus rob death of half
his sting. So mote it be.
Tho lato increase in the number tr board
ers at Raudenbush's Hotel, on West Broad
way, causes business to be quite brisk at that
establishment. Tho latest arrival is that of
Thomas Duikin, who was gobbled up at
WIlke-i-Barro on last Monday, and, brought
here by officer Peeler, was committed as an
accomplices in tho George K. Smith minder.
Ho is tho third individual under arrest for
complicity in this murder, and a fourth is
expected to arrivo shortly. At tho District
Attorney's ollice all is life and activity, and
a motley crowd of coal and iron twlirc, wit
nesses, etc., may always bo found in attend
ance, and I mily bitfely assert that what Mr.
Sicwers doesn't know about the Smith easo
by this timo isn't woith knowing. There
is, however, no likelihood that these new
Mollio cases will bo reached before April or
Juno term.
District Attorney Sicwers, now occupying
an ollieo in Major lvloiz's building, on Broad
way, has certainly the most cosy placo of
any of tho legal fraternity in town. Ami for
convenience it is not excelled.
Tho near aimroach of Court causes nuito
a stir among tho legal profession, all of whom
appear to bo full ot business.
jiow mat mo Holidays aro over, anil men
hno again settled down to business and
sobriety, the streets of tho "Switzerland"
again look quiet and deserted ns uunl, but
January term of Court is expected to change
all this, and hotel proprietors are of good
cheer in anticipation ot a good average har
vest of filthy lucre. What indeed would
Mauch Chunk bo were it not tho county
town 1 Oh, dear I
But little is heard of tho doinis of Thus.
P. Fiher, and if the reporters will only let
him alone, ho would nrehablv make his
exit as quietly as "any other man." But,
win tney I lucres the rub, nun wo shall
probably yet get such a surfeit of Fisher, be
tween this and the 2Uth of February, as we
have never had before. Tho better plan
wouiu uo to cxciuuo tno cneeity cralt alto
gether. Tho suspno is over, and wo all know
now of n certainly that, unless tho Lehigh
Valley R.It. Co. should revoke the negative
vote given at Wednesday's meeting of the
carrying companies, tho project ot u combi
nation will be abandoned, and individual
ojierators left to weather the storm as Iwst
they can. Indeed things apjvar to havo nr
rived nt such a pass that all faith in tho
present practicability of a combination, as
attempted, may as well be abandoned. The
liat lias gone lortli,auil individual enterprise
will naturally bo tho first to sutler. And if
prosiiccts uio discourairini to tho individual
oiierutors, they aro anything but encourag
ing to the holders of coal stocks, who know
only loo well that onco fairly entered into
tlio strife it will engulf all in a common ruin.
Tho resumption by tho Lehigh Coal and
Nav. Co. of their Summit Hill and Nesque
lioning mines and the canal, is very favor
ably icgaided by the former employees of
that old corporation. Whether this chango
of employers will eventually benefit them us
much as anticipated remains to bo seen; but
"Givcmu tho old Lehigh Company I" is just
now on expression indulged in by most of
their former employees, who are lunging for
tho realization of the project ns ardently as
the hungry Jews in the desert may bo sup-
poscu to navo iinigi'ii lor tno iiesii-pots oi
Egypt. And hcie I will colse. W.S,

On Friday of last week a terrible explosion
took placo in tho Stanton mine, located about
ono milo cast of Wilkes-Barre, tho results of
which havo greater significance than usual,
in that the majority of those injured ore mine
officials and men widely known and highly
respected. It appears that John T. Griffith,
iusido superintendent at tho mine, entered
tho colliery ot half-past 11 o'clock accom
panied by Richard Roderick, the mine bos.;
Lewis S. Jones, mine boss of the Empire col
liery, and a parly of miners. Thny went to
a distant part of the colliery to prosecute
certain labors, and uki entering ono of tho
chambers tho open lights carried on tho heads
of the leading men of tho party came in con
tact with a quantity of cos and instantly a
terrific explosion followed, Tho force was so
great as to lie felt out of doors. It overturn
ed many rods of the small railroad leading
along tho gangway to tho shaft and used for
taking out coal from tho chambers. Every
man of tho party was knocked down. Su
lwrintcndeut Griffith was hulled many feet
backward, and when taken up was found
badly bruised and terribly burned about the
face and breast. Lewis b, Jones, boss of the
Empire, was in a similar condition; Rode
rick was horriblv burned in tho face nnd
I hand; a miner named Patk. Kcrrighan re-
oeiveii uurns wnicli may provo latal t John
Trodiunlek was burned inwardly nud died
on Saturday ; Thomas Malia was burnod on
tho face and hands und is thought mortally
injured ; Peter Stump was seriously burned
on head, hands and lace his hair was burn
ed entirely oil'. A party of mine surveyors
were going through the mine at tho time,
and were all thrown down by the force of
the explosion, although nuito distant from
its immediate locality. The distraction in
the vicinity of the disaster was immense, and
the wonder i that any of the parties in that
part of tho mine escaped alive.

Murder ami Sulclile.
Tho village of Fcrndale, near Calasaunua,
was Tuesday night tho scene of a terribly
determined murder, followed by tho sulcido
of the assassin. Tho village is composed of
sjmo lorty or nuy dwellings, owned by tho
Catasauqua Manufacturing Company, whose
loiimij; una gives enijiioyineni 10 most 01 1110
(inhabitants. In tho mill was n young man
named John Haddock, n Welshman by birth
and a puddlcr by trade. Ho was twenty
two years old, steady, industrious, and a
leader In tho Bocial pleasures of tho young
peoplo of tho place, and had long been atten
tive to a very quiet, pretty girl living In the
village, named Lizzio Davis. For some days
ast Lizzie lias been endeavoring to ticrsuado
him to eeaso calling upon her. This Had
dock attributed to tho proeeneo of a voting
man from tho coal mines who was visiting
Fcrndale, but had paid her no special at
tention. Haddock became very jealous and
threatened Lizzie, somo days since, saying
ho would kill her if sho did not marry film,
to which threat she paid no heed except to
laugh at it. Tuesday night, a littlo before
nine o'clock. Haddock called upon Lizzie,
whom ho found temporarily alone nt tho
housoofa relative, what occurred during
tho brief moments of his call no mortal
knows. Two shots were hoard by tho
neighbors, but, being attributed to New Year
carousal, no tt-cial attention was raid to
them. Fifteen minutes later a cry of "Mur
der!" was heard coming from tho homo of
young Haddock. When tho neighbors
reached tho house thev were told by his
agonized mother that John came in a few
moments previously, nsked for a light, went
tip stairs, und immediately after a shot was
heard. The body of tho young man was
found on tho stairway landing nuito dead.
Ho had thrown himself upon his back on
tho Hoor, ilelibe'rately pressed tho pistol
against ids breast and fired directly into his
heart. His collar was found nt his side. On
it ho had written " Torsive mo. mother."
Just after this William Davis) tho cousin of
j.izzio akivis, on entering ins nouso found
something obstructing the door. Having
forcinl nn entrance ho found Lizzio lying in
a pool of blood. Being picked up tenderly
tho gave ono or two gasps and died. Sho
had lieeit shot directly behind tho ear and
luul fallen, apparently without a struggle, to
tho lloor. Then the murderer had proceed,
cd to the kitchen, found tho carving knife,
and, returning to the prostrate girl, inllicted
gash after gush until his jealous vengeauco
was satisfied. Ho then lied to his home, a
few doors distant, to finish his Work, as be
fore narrated. The murdf icr's overcoat and
necktio were found on the lloor, near the
body of tho murdered girl. Tho carving
knifo lay on tho kitchen table, covered with
blood. So to two families tho new vear
comes in witli sorrow and tears and shame.

Wo havo gathered here, from timo to timo j

How much there is for each ono of us to do
in our journey through life for them, how
often aro they neglected, how often aro wo
annoyed by them ? And yet it is not right.
To me there is nothing of Coil's vast creation
bo licautiful, so lovable, as tho little girl.
They are God's earthly Angels. How wo
should love and caro for them i how careful
wo should bo to educate them aright, for
from these come women, " God's best gift to
man." The miss, the maiden, tho wile, tho
mother Man's guardian from tho cradlo to
the grave. Let us cherish theso littlo ones,
never pass them without a smile and a Word
of cheer, they notice, and remember it
To-uight, wo mi tho bright) happy face
of one who was wont to meet with us. No
moro will wo hear her clear ringing laugli
no more will wo hear her sweet voice as she
joined in tho singing ; she has left us, her
voice is now in tune with the redeemed
ones in the Association above. Sho belongs
to the Angt 1 choir " over there ;" her wish
to bo an Angel is gratified. 'Twos a fitting
time to call her hence Christmas morning,
hallowed because of tho ' B.ibo of Bethle
hem." " Sullor little children to come unto
Me." She has gono to sit and live in tho
Mansions of Love, and, as wo drop a tear, let

Meeting or Conl Carriers No Com.
ulnntloli yet Kormiil,
The adjourned meeting of the representa
tives of the great coal carrying ami coal
producing interests took place at Philadel
phia, Wednesday, nnd another effort was
made to como to an agreement. Tho con
sultation was a long one, beginning at noon
and lasting, with an adjournment for lunch,
until half-past six in tho evening ; but in
spite of its length it was not conclusive in
Its action, and tho combination is not yet an
accomplished fact. Tho gentlemen present
were tho following : Thomas Dickson,
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company;
Samuel Sloan, Delaware Lackawanna and
Western Railroad ; George A. H, Hoyt,
Pennsylvania Coal Company ; Thomas A.
Scott, A. J. Cassatt, Isaac Wister, Pennsyl
vania Railroad ; F.S. Lathrop, E. W. Clarke,
New Jersey Central, Lehigh Navigation
Company and Wilkes-Barro Coal and I -on
Company ; E P. Wilbur, Dr. Lindennan;
individual oiierators on tho Lehigh Valley
Railroad ; F. B. Goweu, Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad ; John E. Graell, ofjndi
vidual Schuylkill ojieratoK
The proceedings of tho ineelihg, as tliey
were furnished tu the press, are as follows :
Tho committee of live reported tho full
details of tho tonnage of each interest, and of
the aggregate, and properly assigned to the
respective comiauics such tonnage as were
duplicated on tho return of more than one
company, but rejiorted no distribution of
tonnage. Tho reitort was accepted, and, a
motion being mode that tho tonnago of the
last five vears be taken as a basis of distri
bution, tho following interests voted in tho
allimuitivo ; Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, New Jersey Central,
Pennsylvania Coal Company, Delaware and
Hudson Canal Company ; and in tho nega
tive, tho Phihfdclphia nud Reading and the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. The,
vote not being unanimous a motion v.Bs
made that the results ef ten years' prc4ue
tion bo made the basis of the nllotineiil, upon
which tho following voted in thoafl'.rmativo t
Philadelphia and Reading, Pennsylvania
Coal Company, Delaware and Hudson Canal
Comiiany ; ami in tho negpi'.yo tho Central
of New Jersey, tho Pcutiivlvanla Railroad
Comiiany, the Lehigh Valley and tho Dela
ware, Lauckawauna p.nd Western.
Judge Lathrop suggested tho following ns
a compromise or, the basis of 20,000,000 tons
tier uiinuin as') ml shipment : Philadelphia
and Read'.ng, twenty-eight and three
quarters per cent, of tho eulirc production of
anthrcite ; Lehigh Valley, eighteen and
yirre-imarters jH..r Kni , fjentml of New
" ersey, inirteen anil one-quarter rur cent ;
Delaware and Hudsoirtwelvo and three
quarters ier cent ; Delaware, Lacka
wanna nnd Western, twelve and three
quarters pr cent j Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, seven and three-quarters
per cent ; rennsylvauia Coal Comjiuny, six
per cent ' provided that tho tonnago given
to tho Lehigh Canal by the Lehigh Hail road
Company shall bo chargeable to tho latter.
This allotment was nwepted by nil tho
interests represented except tiie Lehigh
Vulley ojieratori, who Voted against it, Dr.
Lindennan stating that lie thought It unfair
to those whom he represent!.
The vote not being unanimous the meet
ing adjourned sine iic, witli tho understand
ing that if requested by tho representative
of tho Lehigh Valley iqieratoni within forty
eight hours, it will again convene at the call
of tho chairman, Mr. Dickson. It is not
likely tho Lehigh men will eumo in, and tho
combination is, therefore, as far from being
formed as ever.
