A despatch from Potlsvillo, Pa., says: About thrco months ago a serious quarrel aroso in tho Polish Roman Catholic congre gation ill Shenandoah, Pu.,whlchis presided over by Rev. K. Alexander Lcnarckwiez. Tho pastor und a majority of tho congrega tion are from Poland proiwr, and Uso the dialect of that country, while a strong minor ity nro Lithuanians, arid sjieak Lettish. The latter demanded that a jwrtion of tho services should bo conducted in their native tongue, but the majority refused tb Consent to this. Tho dispute grew more and more bitter, until finally, ono Sunday morniugiii July, the pastor, "on reaching his church, found tlio gate locked nnd guarded by about 20 women, supported by n strong body of the disntlected males of tho congregation. The Chief Burges was called on to disperse the mob, and did so by tho aid of a forco of special police, but not without a scuflle. A number of tho nioro tumultuous persons in the crowd wero arrested, and held to await trial for riot, assault and battery, Ac., and were arraigned in tho Criminal Court lost week. For convenience, it was agreed to try all tho suits at once, as they all grew out of tho saino troublf) and as the services of three dr four Interpreters were necessary to turn tho witness' patois into English, more thaii a week has been consumed in the trial and tho costs havo run up to a total of about $1,000; Judgo Pershing made a very elabor ate charge to tho jury, and, nftcran all-night session, they returned verdicts of not guilty iu every case, but divided tbo Costs between the prosecutors and tlio defendants, thus pilhishing both parties alike. Surpriso was expressed when tho decision of tho jury was mado known, as it was thought the chargo of riot, at least, was fully niailo out, anil, in deed, Judgo Pershing expressed thatopinion after leaving tho bench. Tho general result, hotvever,'is thought to bo a salutary lesson to tho bllligercnt churchmen on both sides, and it is hoped that tho squabble, which created much excitement whilo it lasted, is now settled. The Conferees nt Slroiulsbiirg. Friday nfterhobn tho Democratic Con fei ces ol tho Eleventh District returned homo from tho Conference, having adjourned without effecting its purposo. There were two organizations of tho Conference, aud tho following is a brief extract of tho pro ceedings: Tho Conferees from Montour, Pike, Lackawanna, and upper Luzerne met on Tuesday at 11.45, notwithstanding the earnest protest of tho Monroe county Con ferees, who wero desirous of waiting "for tho arrival of tho Conferees from Columbia,Car bon nnd Luzerno proper, who arrived at 12 o'clock. Tho president of this organization was Edwin Shortz, of Whito Haven. No mention was mado of tho organization until 11.30.

Tin's tlio first organization declined to agree to. Hence tho counties lastarriving, United with Monroe county and formed an organ ization, with A. G. Brodhead as President. After negotiating fruitlessly with tho first organization the delegates from Monroe.Car bon, Columbia and Luzerno proper adjourn ed to meet at Hazleton October lfitll. At the organization of tho first set of Conferees) Monroe was invited to join, but refused, rthd asked theso delegates to wait until tho arriv al of all delegates beforo organization, which was in turn refused.' Somo of tho conferees of tho first organization, which was called "Joo Lynn's lleamish Dr. Trimmer" meet ing, told S. B. Prico that tho reason for their not waiting for tlio other delegates was be cause they know that theso latter would not recognize the contested conferees (above mentioned.) Both sides balloted for a Con gressman, nnd the vote in tho second organ ization for the last 50 ballots, with few ex ceptions, stood 0 for Kuntz and 3 for C. B. Broekway; tho other votes wero 8 to 4. Mr. Storm, of Monroe, begged tbo Beamish-Dr. Trimmer organization to wait just 20 min utes until tlio arrival of the other conferees, but his requests wero not granted. The second convention invited Montour of tlio first organization to unite with them, that county being tho only olio of the first organ ization which Was not contested, but Montour refused.

Tho feeling in tho anthracite coal trade for tho past week was more cheerful in all departments than it lias been for several weeks. The oicrators in tho Schuylkill region ackuuwlcdgen good demand for coal, and full circular prices are obtained. The city and lino trade for egg, stovo and dies nut sizes is beyond the immediate supply of tho Reading Railroad Company. The broken coal uf this company, which'is most iu request in tlio manufacturing districts of Now England, has been short of tho demand tho greater part of tlio year. Just now tho sizes for domestio uses are called lor, anil from the demand all around there is almost a panio in tho market. The Lehigh Coal ami Navigation Company has within the last six weeks lessened its clock of coal on hand more than one-half. The Lehigh Val ley Railroad Company notices a similar condition of business, 'tlio demand for its coal in this city being quite heavy. Among its recent oider.s is one of 1000 tons of Buck Mountain coal for the supply of the Russian steamers now titling out at this rt. As near as wo can learu the folowiug were tho resjieelivo amounts of anthracite ooal on hand at tidewater ami afloat on Saturday, September 2S, 1878: Philadelphia and Read ing interest, 105.S91 tons; Lehigh Valley in terest, 131,825) New Jersey Central mterett, 70,023 ) Dclawore.Lackaw.itina nnd Western interest 80,216) Delaware and Hudson inld rest, (17(250; Pennsylvania Railroad inlerest, 31,973; Pennsylvania Coal Company inle rest,40,100tons;giTingatotalof54C,5S3ton! against 014)810 tons on hand September 21, showing a decrease for tho week of 03,23."; tons. On August 31st tho amount on hand was 710,088 tohS)0n September 2Stli 540,583 tons, showing a decrcaeo for tho month of 104,105 tons. For any short eupply of coal that may exist now or at any time during tho remainder of tho year consumers will havo only themselves to blainejaslhey haw been cautioned timo and again to lay Ik their winter's supply any time within tho last two or threo months, as lower pricoai Wero not probablo in all this year. That caution is repeated now, and if promptly heeded higher piecs in tlio near future may bo avoided. Of tho future of tho coal trodo beyond thelltnit of tho present combination, which expires with tho current year, noth ing as yet has been definitely detcrminec'i Tho Voles taken on the proposition ot tho Long Branch meeting of tlio Boald of Con trol to extend tho existing arrangement as far as to April in the next year as yet locks tho approval or consent of the. Lehigh Val ley interest. Dr. Linderman, tlio represent ative of that interest present at tho meeting, voted in favorof tho proposition of extension, but with tho understanding that Ids' voto should bo submitted to the parties represent ed. This has not yet been done. A meet ing for the purposo was lost week called, to bo held at Bethlehem last Tuesday after noon,but tho notice on Saturday wos recall ed " until further notice." A good deal of in terest is manifested on the subject, but that somo sort of an arrangement, including pail if nbl hll the companies in tho present com bination is quito probable. The advantages resulting frohl the combination haVo been too thoroughly demonstrated by tho fexpe rienco of tho last eight months to bo lightly considered or inconsiderately surrendered, Something equally efiectivo as tho present combination is likely to ba continued through 1879.
