XI 10 Fire at Hom'n Hotel.
About 12:15 o'clock on Friday of last week,
fire was discovered on tho eastern corner of
the roof of the Northwestern Hotel, owned
and conducted by Jonas A. Horn. When
the flro broke out tho Aovocatx had been
put to press, nnd ns It was found necessary
to send all the spare help from the office to
help fight the fire-fiend, It was impossible to
report tho casualty in our last issue.
Tho fire is supposed to have originated
from a spark lodging on the roof of the
building from an englno passing on the L. &
S. R It., which was fanned Into a blaze by
the high wind. But there Is really no posi
tive evidenco Id this effect, there being con
flicting reports astothoetatooftho fire when
first discovered. Some say it originated in
sido the building, others say outside. It
will always, perhaps, remain a vexed ques
tion. Suffice It to say, that tho holel build
ings wero leveled to tliej ground, despite
the heroic efforts mado to stay the rapacity
of the flame.
The first to arrivo with any aparattis for
extinguishing the flames was Joseph Obert
with his hand engine, which did good ser
vice Ho was soon followed by tho Hook
and Ladder company with their truck and
Little Giant fire extinguisher, which latter
was found to bo out of repair. The firo was
at one time supposed to bo under control,
and one-half tho building to bo saved, but
the flames broke through into tho cellar
where there being stored some combustible
articles, it gave the firo an advantage, which
was never regained. Independent of the
Llttlo Giant fire aparalus being out of order,
there was a great scarcity of water, in that
locality, as is ihe case in several other lo
calities In this borough; and forcibly again
calls up the question of a water supply for
Lehiglitrm. Tho loss is estimated at $5,000,
with on'.insuranco on the buildings of
$3,350. Mr. Horn having removed his
goods to the building opposite, is pre
pared to cater to the wonts of his friends,
until ho can make arrangements to rebuild
his hotel.
I.O. . p.
The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, repre
senting over nine hundred lodges In this
State, met at Harrisburg last week. After
the transaction of the uua! roulino business
and the1 installation of tho grand officers
elect, tho delegates adjourned sine die on
Wednesday evening. Among the officers
installed was R. E. Wright, Jr., Esq., of Al
lentown, as R. W. Grand Warden, and bo
ing called for an address after tho ceremo
nies had been concluded, he responded with
a speech' which was most heartily applauded
by tho largo audience present. It was re
garded by the grand officers, and tho au
dience in the Hall, as the masterly effort of
a superior mind, and placed the speaker in
the list of finished orators whose voices
arc ever heard iu praise of the sublime prin
ciples of tho order. Ho likened Odd Fellow
ship unto a sacred temple, into which none
but the worthy might enter, describing the
magnificence and splendor of tho Interior
n symbolical language very finely ex
pressed. This discourse, was replete witli
thoughts of a grand and eloquent nature,
and was replete with passages of gr,
beauty.
During tho last year the Odd Fellows of
Pennsylvania expended more than $300,000
for the relief of tho sick and disabled ofthcir
organization. The nicnbership includes
nearly 90,000 persons, and thero are upon
the sick list annually an average of about
10,000 members. The Odd Fellows' society
Is, mora than anything else, a relief society
and the foregoing figures show how largo Is
the measure of good it is enabled to do.

The addition to the Fort Allen Foundry

A serenade hero on Monday evening,
to somebody who had been falsely accused
of committing the crimo of matrimony, is
ono of tho worst mixed up arrangements on
record, and came near being tho death of
one of tho employees of the Fort Allen
Foundry who, believing that tho serenade
was intended for him, escaped, thinly attired,
through the skylight of his boarding house
to the roof of the building, where tho sere
nadcrs kept him until 2 a. m. It turned
out that no one had been married, that the
rumor was a hoax, nnd now the "Johnny
Morgans" feel that they were sold cheap.
Work on tho Old Franklin Well, to put
it In shape as a public resort, is to comnionce
in a few days. But now the question is
raised as to whether the well was due by
Franklin; or, whether Fort Allen was lo
cated at all on what is now known as tho
Fort Allen estate. A claim is now set up,
that tho fort was located in Franklin town
ship; that it was a sorry, misshapen old
stockade, at best; that the garrison who
of old, held the foil spent their time in
eating, drinking and making lovo to the
Indian girls, nnd let tho warriors murder
nil tho farmers. It is further claimed that
a fellow named Crulkshank had the well
ilug eight years after tho building of Fort
Allen ; that Crulkshank had a second-hand
clothing store, and drove such sharp bar
gains with the Indians that, waking up
ono morning, ho found that ho had been
scalped during the night. He packed up
his stock of goods, swung the pack on his
back, and with Imprecations against the
Indians and against the place generally, he
strucli a B-line for Bethlehem. In short,
the claim is that the Advocate's article last
week on the subject contained not ono word
of truth ; and that tho writer of it has more
ability for eating cold boiled potatoes than
for collecting nnd writing up historical facts.

Accident
On Friday morning, of last week a fright
ful accident occurred in the slate quarry of
Paules Jc Peter, at Slatedale. While the
men were engaged in hoisting the rubbish
box it came in contact with a projecting
rock on the side of the bank. The engineer
applied more power in order to raise the
box', when the derrick, which was unsound
at its base, together with the loaded box
suspended to it,- was precipitated into the
quarry, injuring three then Henry Dre,
William Edward's and William Williams,
qflile severely. Drey had both his shoulders
dislocated, and besides received ugly gashes
in the arm and leg and a contusion on his
breast. Edwards sustained Injuries about
the head, feet und arms, while Williams
had his side badly bruised.

The t'onl Trade
The condition of the coal market remains
very much as it was last week. There Is
no difficulty whatever in selling coal, and
nearly alt the large companies appear to be
oversold. There Is nothing in the way of
au advanco of prices, which will embraco all
coals' iu the market, except the continued
detcrm Illation of Messrs. Dickson and Hoyt,
presidents of tho .Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company nnd the Pennsylvania Coal
Company to offer l.'ieir coal at a less price
than could bo obtained" for it. Wo under
stand, however, that the principal compa
nies whoso coal is most readily sold, and
who havo tho harder varieties, are cuntcm
ploting making an advanco iu prices, irre
spective of whether the softer coals of the
New York companies follow it or not. The
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company will adyanco prices free on board ,
at Port Richmond for Juno ten cents a ton, ,
making their circulars for the month of
Juue as follows: For hard white ash lump
coal, $2,50; steam boat, $2,50; broken, $2 40;
cglT $2,40; stove, $2,50; chestnut, $2,25, and
pea, $1,40. They will also advance their
Philadelphia and line prices npon the sizes
used for domestic ptirposos from ten to fif
teen cents per ton. Tho Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company will advance
their tuils fur the lino nnd cily trade
upon their main lino and their North Penn.
branch for tho mouth of June ten cents a
ton, and will also make about the same ad
vanco on coal shipped from Port Richmond.
It is also understood that tho line and city
trade will be notified by tho two companies
namely, tho Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company nnd the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company, that
a further advance In the price of coal nnd
rates of freight and toll) united of at least
tweuty-fivo cents a ton will be mado on the
first of July, and a still further advance of
fifty cents on the first of August, of which
advance it is supposed tho Railroad Compa
ny will take for tolls probably two-fifths,
leaving three-fifths for tho benefit of the
producers of tho coal. It is believed that
somo of the leading operators who have the
harder coals, which always find ready sale
in the market, will follow thoso advances of
the Reading companies, and If the New
York companies refuso tc follow it will
simply cuablo them to get rid of their coal
very quickly and ho out of the way of those
who aro desirous of getting better prices.
We nro assuicd by tho Reading Company
that tho condition of their trade is such that
they can very readily turn to the West all
the coal they cannot dispose of at the in
creased prices, and with the certainty of the
further advances to follow in July and Au
gust for tho city and line trade, thero is very
little doubt that the local demand lor Phil
adclphia and the line will take in June and
July so large a proportion of the coal as to
relieve the company of all difficulty at Tort
Richmond. Wc have no doubt that tho an
nouucenictit of these advances will bo wel
come news to all persons engaged In the coal
trade, and particulatly to the worltingmen
in the Schuylkill coal region, whose rales of
wares depend upon the juice of coal and
are governed so far as a minimum is con
corned, by tbo rates of freight and transpor
tation of the railroad. An advance of ten
cents on freight and tolls On coal would ho
equivalent to an advance of four per cent in
the wages of the miners and laborers en
gaged In Its production, and this advanco to
take placo in Juno and be foil wed by suc
ceeding ones in July end August, will
doubtless bo received by the men as a most
conclusive evidence of tho dawn of better
times. Ledger, Ifondal).

accounted for by the supposition that a weak
