Tho wholo factory was dense and dark with smoke, dust uud steam, but fortu nately no liro occurred. Many hundred sjiectntors Hocked to tho Rccne. Tho men wero in n wild state of excite ment nnd upon looking around found the body of Mr. Frnnk L. Kennel, lying closo by the half buried boiler, in nu almost life less condition. The boiler struck him as it passed through the wash house, and carried him with it. By the time ho was taken from the wreck, andcarried to n room in tho factory, he expired. Ho was engaged wasli ing slato closo by the engine house when tho explosion occurred, and was cut terribly about tho head and breast. The deceased leaves a wife a ml three children.

At the timo of the explosion, tho boiler carried 85 ixiuiids of steam, witli tho water btauding between tho fiist and second gauges, and no other cause can he assigned lor (lie accident than the fact that tho boiler was old and well worn though it was con sidered in good repairs.

It Is given out that the amount of coal fixed upon to he mined ill the month of October, is tho result of a compromise. Some of tho parties to tho combination desire n much larger output for tho month, M'hilo others favor no increase cm that of tho present month. 1,200,000 was harmoniously agreed upon, which gives to c.icli of tho several companies in the com bination ns follows: fon.. Philadelphia and Reading Railroad 343,440 Lehigh Valley Railroad 237,054 Central of New Jersey...,, 151,S00 Delaware Lackawanna & Western.. 153,000 Delaware and Hudson Canal 149,700 Pennsylvania Railroadi 91,500 Pennsylvania Coal Company 70,380 Total 1,200,000 The Board of Control nlso voted to extend the time for the continuance of tho combi nation until April 1, 1879. This is felt to bo an important uct, as it tends to strengthen the conviction all through the trade, and especially with that important branch of it, the consumers, that tho present policy of not oversupplying the market witli coal is to bo continued" as a policy of the trade. The mat ter of amount of monthly output ofconlisof secondary consideration, so that it is low enough to keep down a surplus and enable the producers of coal to ell'cct a moderate monthly advance in tho prices of coal, thus giving nssiirnuco to buyers that to-dm, from tho dale of the opening of tho coal season to tho first day of the last coal month, is tho lowest prico for coal for the year. With a feeling like this established, thocoal tradois miido as reliable asthatof any other pursuit, and from the universal tiso of coal as nn article of necessity its production should bo put on a reliable basis, that capital may freely enter into it, and its cheaiiest (wssiblo supply bo thus effected. A smalladvanco in prices will take place, it is expected, on ths 1st of tho coining month. Ledger, Monday.
