Fire In n Mine,
The following particulars of tho fire in

take from a dispatch dated Mauch Chunk,
July 31st: On Friday, at 3:35 p.m., fire
broke out in No. 0 colliery of the Lehigh
Coal aud Navigation Company in Panther
Creek Valley, near Lansford, this countv,
It is the largest of the company's ulno col
lieries, employing five or six bundled hands.
The fire broke out near tho air shaft, aud
was caused by a machinist using an open
light at that placo against positive orders.
He wanted to do soma .work on the steam

the alarm and ordered the mules run out
Superintendent W. D. Zehner was promptly

hurried to the mouth of the tunnel with tbe
Idest cries ol d stress. The mine is b'm

caped, not a inun or muls bejng InhirM.
The workings are carried otf by moans of a
tunnel direct into the mountain and a slope
to the lower lift, and aro of vast extent and
great incricacy. It is entirely owing to the
prompt action Ol eupeiinlendent Zoliner,
zealously seconded by tbe foreman of de

did not obtain such headway as would have
resulted in a lone (tonuano or inter destruc

Thn Coal Trade.
Philadelphia ltdgcr, Ut insU f On asking
a person prominently connected with the
anthracite coal trade, within a day or two,
how the trade whs getting along, he an
swered "never better," arid tliafltwas all
that could bb tJeilred." The iroductiod
was full up arid tho demand fully equal to
the best at this Season of the year. Prices
of coal, too, are entirety satisfactory to pro
ducers, and not oppressively high lo con
sumers. It Is now believed by those most
competent to lorecast tho future that tbb
production of anthraclto this year will be
fully twenty-five millions of tons, and thai
prices will be adjusted to the absorption of
Hits amount of coal at about present prices;
which have ruled steady for the past ttio of
three months. If it bo necessary to stiffen,
prices and keep the market there will be
such suspensions ss will be necessary lb eP
feet the desired end. The coal operators
are In excellent condition, and, whltb de
termined lo act in concert, show no elispbsl
tiotl to hold their control oppressively In
thb matter ot prices and In transportation
charges. It is manifest all around that the
trade Is working advantageously, and those
who have beon Instrumental in bringing
it td this end, knowing through what suf
fering il has passed to reach It, will not in
considerately let the present advantage pass
for nought. If the anthracite trade is held
In lis present prosperous condition, Instead
ol being let run down at a cost of millions
of dollirs, as too frequently beforo has been
tbe tiase, this lost will be saved, to tho di
rect gain of the coal trade, and the ultimate
advantage of the coal consumers. It has
been announced, that tolls to local points
are this Hay lo bo advanced five cents per
ton by the Reading Railroad Company,that
Is, from $1.85 to 1.90 per ton. This move
ment, some in tbb Irado think, is a little
premature, and bears a little hard on the
small retail dealers id coal, and that it
would have been better to have deferred the
advance a month or two latter and then
have mode it larger, say 20 to 25 cents per
ton. Tho retail dealers fixirig their prices
ot oven sums, $0, $0.25 or $6.50 per ton,
cannot readily adjust therri to transporta
tion advances of five cents per ton, conse
quently smull advance of loll as five cents
cannot very well bo covered into an advance
In the prlco of coal at tho yards.
The CbaJ JVarfcTburnaf of last week says
Trade in the several varieties of anthracite
may reasonably be quoted as having been
fairly active sinco tbedato of our last; there
Is beyond question a good inquiry for coal
from the several points of consumption ; the
shipments are equal to the receipts. For
the harder qualities there is as active a de
mand as there has been at any time, and it
Is only on certain of the free-burning coals
that there is any lack of orders, such as to
make the market quotations, therefore, at
all uneven. To the end of last week tho
output was two million tons ahead of tho
production at an evon period last year; this
has been disposed of, and wo are really on a
better footing than lor many years. The
companies will keep to their present mclh
od of managing the trade so as to be profit
able. The advance at the East by the East
em Shippers' Association, at Eric, Pa., was
on broken and egg, 15 cents ; stovo and No.
4, 25 cents; nut, 5 cents orr gross tons.'
The Pottsville Miners' Journal of Saturday.
says; "There is no change to noteinihe
condition of the trade since our last report.
The sales departments are active and full of
ordcis. Stocks in first hands light and prices
firm. Thero is no talk of suspension to re;
ulale trade, for the conditions are such tl.uf
it has becumo self regulating and the indi
cations are that it will continue so for, the
remainder of the' yeaf."
The Executive Committees of the Lehigh

A thousand sweet memories cluster
around camp meetings Memories of triends
and htppy re unions, as well as the mani
fested display of God's grace, called to mind
by the very msnlion of the same. We may
prolong our vision backward over the sub
lime pathway, along which the finger of
God has pointed Us course. Wo may be
permitted to re-call even tho forms and
faces of the sainted dead, and contemplate
their lives and labors on the camp ground,
and bbld Up for Imitation their heroio vir
tues. Nb statistics within reach of my pen
can give expression to the glorious aspectof
camp meeting work. Such seems to bu tho
methods ot God's Infinite grace, and such
will doubtless be through the ages the meth
ods restoring a ruined ram to light and life.

Tha northern portion of Altentown Dis
trict, Evangelical Asrfeiatlon, comprising
Parryville Circuit, Weissport and Hazleton
Stations, Lehlghton, Mauch Chunk and
Wilkesbarro mission's, held a union camp
meeting in Lindermtfn's grove, located
within the borough of Lehighton, and held
Its first meeting on Wednesday, July 27th.
We visited the grove about- noon the fol
lowing day, and as wo entered thb enclosure
a beautiful scene was spread bbt before us.
In tho middle of the grounds were strayed
board seats sufficient to seat a large Con
course of people. Surrounding these were
fifty-four tents, occupied by family circles;
chiefly from Mauch Chunk, LehightorJ and
Weissport.A tabernacle tent for public wor
ship stood in the rear. There was a large
boarding tent on the grounds, with accom
modations for eighty or more boarders, and
Connected with this was a provision shop,
at which could bo bad all kinds of temper
bto relreshtnents,as well as lunches. Upon
the wholo it was considered to be conven
ient and admirably managed.
Tbo ministers present were: Rev. C. K.
Fchr.P.E.j Rev. W. K. Wicud, Rev. B.
F. Bonner and Rev. H. Fegcr,of Alientown;
Rev. E. Butz, Lehigh Circuit; Rev. S. Bry
fogel, Catasauqua; Rev. J, C. Bliem, Sla
tlngton; Roy. O. W. Gross, Parryville; Rev.
E.J. Miller, Weissport; Rev. B. J. Smoycr,
Lehighton; Rev. D. 8. Btaufler, Mauch
Chunk; Rev. J. K. Scylrit, Hazletuu; Rev.
H. D. Shultz, Wilkcsbarie.
The meeting was numerously attended,
especially on Sunday. The gospel was
preached In us simplicity anu purity; witn
power and eloquence. The ministers' la
bored like Apostles, and by their arguments;
zeal and eloquence seemeo, to get into too
verv f'eellntra of tho people. A crucified and
risen Redeemer was presented In all the
sermons, and many of them were able arid
convincing, doubtless carrying conviction to
all hearts.
Fervent brotherly love and the utmost
harmony prevailed. There were sermons
preached in tbe English and German lan
eusces. Notwithstanding the powerful im
pressions and an occasional ouiuurst oi
shouts and praises. There was uo disorder,
no " tinkling cymtals," no fanatism or lev
ity. God was in tha midst of tho people,
and great grace was upon tnem an.
liunng the encampment mere was a good
Supply of rain, but the people having pro
vided themselves' with excellent tents,there
were but fow sufferers. In case of rain tha
people resorted to the tabernacle, and held
delightful meetings and which were de-
liautiui witnessing lor Jesus. i miner
would the ambassador of Jesus hasten to
breach the word" to reprove, rebuke and
persuade with unwearied dilligenco. But
tbo weather clearing up, tuo giddy ana tne
gay became uis&ipateii in thought, ana
restless in tneir movements, wnicn,iotno
man of God, thirsting for tho salvation of
his fellow creatures, made rains and storms
preferable to sunshine. But amidst the
movements oi nature ana tuo various prov
idences ami dealings of nature's God, we
must exclaimc with the psalmist, as"blgh
as the heavens are above tho earth, so lar
aro God's wavs from our ways, and His
thoughts from our thoughts."
Wednesday. Aui. 3. the last day wos ac

The Lord's Supper was celebrated and wos

scene which was truly impressive. Indeed
to us this presented a view ot indescribable
grandeur. It must have becu tin o'clock
when tbe vast assembly, headed oy mo
preachers, beean their march, singing such
songs as "Wo re going home, "sweet oye
and bye," etc., until an entire! circle bad

As the' time for holding primary elections
for delegates to tbo Democratic and Repub
lican county conventions draws near it
seems in order to call the attentiou of caudi
dates for office to the recent iict of tho Leg
islature, known as Caudis' bill; which pro.
vides peualtles for infringements of the elec
tion laws. The following Is a synopsis bf
thn new law-
Section 1. Under a penalty of $300 fine
and tbree months imprisonment, It is tor
bidden for a candidate to offer, directly or
indirectly, anything to anybody, in order 10
secure tneir innucnco at me delegate cieo
tion. Ihe section relerring lo this is very
txplicit and elaborate. It will not allow a
candidate the promise of a "reward" of any
sort. It will not allow a candidato for
sheriff, for instance, to secure support, at
the delegate elections, by promising to p
luint other rneu deputy sheriffs. It is
doubtfill w'helher its language la not so
sweeping tbftt a candidate Would incur a
i. W!.-i . ii. 1.:-
penally uy pruiuisiuj; tugivo uibuwu duj,-
iwrt to another at it future time, fn return

2. The same fine and imprisonment are
provided for an elector who accip's or re
ceives Irom any candidate, or Irom tbe
friends of such candidate, any such prom
ise, gift, reward, Ac.,' as above, as tho price of
bis support.
3. If a voter shall directly or indirectly
offer to give his vote or influence at the
nominating convention, iu cuuaiuerauon
that he is to receive something in return
for it. be shall be suhiect tn fine and
nrisnnment. This would forbid, no doubt
the"tradinz" 6T delegates. It would forbtd
any person, either delegate or not, if he be
a! vote, (i ra offering to help a candidate
upon c niiifo.ation that the latter aud his
menus win neip mm in return.
i. No person who is not 4 qualified

5. II a delegate to the nominating con
vention shall receive, accent or solicit any
price for bis vote, support or influence
either hfs void or hfs abstaining from voting-he
shall incur the penalty of $190 fine
and three months' imprisonment.
6. The officers who count up the votes
of the primary election must act honestly
