Many and varied aro the constructions put upon tho wording of the act, and for the benefit of our readers the law is appended in full: Section 1. ie ft enacted, etc.. That a common school month shall hereafter consist of twenty days actual teaching, and no school shall be kept open in any district for tho purpose of ordinary in struction 03 anv Saturday or ou anv le gal holiday, or in any county during the time of holding the annual institute therein. Section 2. All acts or parts of acts inconsistent herewith bo and the samo are hereby repealed. Approved the 25th uay oi uunc, A. JJ., lcKW. It Is maintained that this now Jaw will compel the teacher to lose silary for Christmas holidays and In fact for every day schools aro closed, as it dis tinctly reads "days of actual teaching." Under the interpretation holidays will not bo counted by teachers. The follow ing letter from tho school department will also bo interesting: "Tho act of June 25. 1883. nrcscrlhw tho number of days that shall hereafter constitute a school month. The law goes into effect at once, and the Direc tors cannot, by contract with teachers, or in any other way whatever, modify or extend the time fixed by law as a legal school month. The appointment of teachers prior to the publication of the act does not alter the case. Very Respectfully, J. Q. Srr.wAnr, Deputy Sup't. Pub. Inst." Oar Mahoning Letter.

"Fair Play" Once More. I Ed. Advocate: Deak Sm: A correspondent purporting to write from ! Mauch Chunk, and signing himself . "3," says that my communication was "ungenerous." In reply I will simply ) say that It Is always in order to be "Just before being generous." So much for that charge. Next "S" says "tho pro duction was evidently the production of a gentleman whose axe did not undergo the sharpening process." In reply to this silly charge, all I ncsd say is that I have not now and never did havo an axe to grind, f. c, I do not want any political office or preferment In this couuty. but, as a Democrat, I do ask for and want Fatr Play, and this, too, is demanded by hundreds of equally earnest Democrats at this end of tho county; and I still claim that tho lower end was unfairly dealt with In the ap pointment of the delogates to the State convention. Wo quote "S." "Mr. Maloy was named not because he Is a member of the Legislature but becauso ho Is a representative of the Irish' American clement." Very well, "3.," If Mr. Maloy was named because ho was a "representative of the Irish-American clement," only, why was not Colonel Craig placed on that delegation as the rcprc3cntattvo of tho Dutch-American element of the Democratic party? Surtv ly your correspondent, "S."' should know that that which Is "sauco for the goose is sauco for the gander." I ask "S." don't It appear, from the action of the County Committee and the above quoted assertion of himself, as to the reason for appointing Mr. Maloy, that their real object was not only to !iv suit Col. Craig but also tho intelligence of tho lower end members of the Demo cratic family? In my opinion tho very reason given by "S." for Mr. Maloy's appointment as n member of that dele gation Is a rc-afllrmracntof tho Intended Insult to Mr. Craig and lower end Democrats. Again "S." says, speaking of Col. Craig, "ne needs no vindica' tlon." As I mado no reflection on the Col., I, too, am just ot the same opinion he needs no vindication, but he fs en titled to recognition as a reprenentaticc of the Dutch-American element of the Democratic party of lover Carbon Again wo quote the words of "S." "What difference docs It make whether a man Is a resident of Banks or Lower Towamensing, whether ho is an Ameri can by birth or choice, or under what religious denomination ho chooses to worship his maker, as long as he is competent and a member of the party." So far as I am concerned In tho matter not one iota of difference; but the opiu ions expressed uy "a." hero and in a few lines above do not tally he, above, expressly stales that Mr. Maloy was chosen a member of that delegation "tccause he is a representative of the Irish-American clement." This needs no comment; but "S." would do well to bear In mind that "consistency Is a jewel." In reference to "S's." charge that I mado a "covert sneer" at Mr. F. L. Reber, whom tlio County Committee appointed a member of the State Con vention, I will simply state that "S." Is considerably off his base. I stated that Mr. Reber was one of our most energetic and earnest young Democrats. But, 1 ask "S.," does that make him a rcpre scntatlvo Democrat and entitle him to the high position of representing this county on the Stato Committee? As to Mr. Rebcr's being the best posted Demo crat. In tho county, my acquaintance with him does not warrant mo in con firming, "S." to the contrary notwith standing; but as "S." has privileges in and about the odlcial places from which tho "ordinary" Democratic voter is ex cluded, his authority should not be questioned. But in what F. L. Reber Is best posted "S." docs not tell us, whether In great matters of State and Nation or in those little tricks which are dark and mysterious, such as were cooked-up and fed to the late County Committee. Mr. Reber claims that he framed the reso lution naming tho gentlemen to be delegates to tho State Convention, and himself for member of the Stato Com mittee, while "S." says that ho wrote them. I know that the resolution was presented by II. E. Swartz, and, It is said, that when questioned on the policy of doing things in that way, he replied: "Well, you know, when the cats arc away the mice will play," ' (meaning that the old-time representative men of the party were all away at the sea shore); "we, tho boys, set it up to suit ourselves, and propose to reap all the benefits re sulting from the glorious event in our own peculiar way." "S." is a capital hand to misconstrue and misrepresent; he says I charge Mr. Reber "with the awful crime of being a young man. Since Adam was created In full stature all men have been born young, at least so far as I know. I would suggest to "S." that for a while yet It would be best to "let tho dog wag the caudle ap pendage, and not that extremity try to wag the dog." In conclusion, the lower end members of the Democracy aro just as true as those of any other section, just as earnest In the cause of good and true government and just as desirious to bury all distinctions of birth, sect and creed as the writer of the communi cation signed "S.," but at the same time they havo determined to demand and receive Fair Peav. A Young Bride's Baicide. Mrs. Peter Burns, of Pottsville, a young woman who has been married, but six weeks, (hot herself Saturday night in the right breast, inflicting a fatal wound. The deed was prompted by groundless jealousy. At six o'clock her husband returned home from bis work and soon after went to a barber shop round the comer to be shaved. A lond report was heard, and Burns, thinking the explosion had occurred in bis bouse, ran over. He found his wife lying on the bed in an upper room with a pool of blood about her and tha red stream gushing from her breast. Doctors were sent for at once, but offered no hope for her recovery. The bill, a twenty-two calibre, had penetrated her lnng and lodged in her back.

All efforts to induce Mr. Sloan, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Company, to agreo to a reduo tlon in the quota of output of anthraclto for the month of August failed. Henco the other companies lu the combination were reluctantly compelled to continue working full tlmo, according to their original agreement, though some of them, It is stated, will run behind their allotments In their production this mouth. The Delaware and Hudson Company, It is alleged, began the shad lng of prices to rcllovo Itself of a largo accumulation of coal. Then the Pcnn syhanla Coal Company and the Lacka. wanna followed suit. This action led to an open cut on tho previously already heavily shaded prices, and now nearly all of the companies have made their actual selling prices at about equal fig. urns. Tho action of the Lehigh Valley Railroad iu allowing shippers a rebate of 20 cents per ton ou tide coal to the Nov York market was, It Is claimed, necessitated by the prevailing low prices of other companies' coals. This rebate will enable Individual operators ship ping via tho Lehigh Valley routo to meet competition In tho New York market on about equal ground with others. It Is generally believed that while tho anthraclto trade was some what staggered by tho developments of the past week tho result will not prove as unsatisfactory as was at first feared. The agent of tho Reading Company at New York Is also awake to the situation there, and Is not being undersold, though In Philadelphia that company professes to be refusing orders for Eastern ship ments upon the terms that the same coals may be bad at New York. Wo are Informed, however, that ?3 05 per ton f. o. b. at Port Richmond will not be refused for stovo coal by the Reading company, while but a short lime ago orders of from 40,000 to 50,000 tons was cancelled becauso the company agent declined to accept less than $3 85 per ton. There Is no scarcity of anthraclto coal at Port Richmond, and on Saturday tho Reading Company's stock of all sizes there was 121,000 tons. Of this quant! ty 25,000 tons were pea coal, 30,000 tons chestnut, 20,000 stove, and tho remain der of various other sizes and special coals. Wo aro informed that the Lfr high Coal and Navigation Company has been more fortunate than most of Its competitors, in having already disposed of Its entire output for August at satis factory prices, and that it has no ac cumulation of coal on hand. The re duction in prices and rebates allowed ou tolls to New York of course benefit that city and tho Eastern trade only, while Philadelphia may havo to, ns it usually docs, submit to tiie extortion of the fuller prices. Tho advance in tho prices for anthracite to the lino and city and harbor trade which tho Reading Com pany anticipated and of which tho com pany ha3 already given notice to take effect on September 1st, insisting that "theso prices must be maintained," will in all probability not bo made. ' Tho Philadelphia agent of the Delaware and Hudson Company Informs us that his Instructions are to maintain the present prices, and, If advisable, advance them, tho recent reductions at New York not affecting his trade In this city. While the anthraclto coal trade is at present In an unsettled condition, and recent events havo somewhat upset the calculations of tho moro hopeful opera tors, yet there Is an undercurrent that promises better things for tho coal trade in tho near future. There has been a marked improvement in tho inquiry for coal during the past week or two, and tho demand Is much better than it has been for some time. Dealers who have been ordering their coal by tho single car are enlarging their orders, nnd now, instead of purchasing only sufficient ccal to supply a week's demand, they arc or dering enougli to cover a month's busi ness. Coal is moving more freely, and it Is thought that the stocks on hand will not be much, if any larger at the end of August than on July 31st. The return of housekeepers to tho city is stimulating the retail trade in domestic sizes, and after tho harvesting lias been finished farmers are expected to lay in their winter's supply of fuel. The cool weather of tho past week admonishes ns that fall is at hand and wintcrapproach- lng, and this is expected to accellcrate business. Threatening His Wifo with a PUtol.

A terrible accident, resulting in the death cf four men and the serlotu and perhapn fatal injuring of two others, occurred this morning at the Oakwood shaft of the Prospect Colliery, belonging to the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, in the northern part of the city. About seven o'clock this morning PatrickSmtth, John J. Martin, John Gallagher, Pat rick McGroaty, William Harrington, Patrick Purceli, James Peterson and Thomas Je'uklns took their plaix-s ou the "cage," to make the descent of the shaft for the purpose of going to work. The shaft Is seven hundred feet deep aud ten men are let down at a time. When tho men had almost reached tho bottom of the shaft a loud, rumbling noua was heard ovorhcad and immcdi ately there was a great crash, a shower of heavy rocks, some weighing as much three hundred pounds each, crushing in the top of the cage and breaking through tlio sills and floor, killing throo of tho men outright and injuring the fourth so bad that ho died shortly after being taken to the hospital. The names of the killed ore as follows: John J. Martin, a miner, nk'cd about thirty- tHu years, unmarried and living with Ids widowed mother. Jnmcs Kr a rney.a laborer, tucd about twenty- Ave, utimatrlcil. John Peterson, miner, aged about twenty- fix, man led and I:Iiik at l'lirsotis. Thomas Jenkins, laborer, about tneiilv- elKht yeurs of ago, single aud residing at .uiiicrs jiiiis. Peterson, when dragged out, was still breathing and struggled a little, but it was evident that death was certain. He was, however.removed In the ambulance to the hospital, whero he has since died. He was bruised about tho head beyond recognition. Tho four-Inch steam pipe had been broken and he was scalded with the steam and water. Ho was a Swede and leaves a wife, to whom he has been married less than three months. Martin had a large cut in the right side of his head. Ills hand was cut 'and there were other bruises on other parts of the body. Kearney had a gash in the side of his head just back of his ear and his back was crushed. He had been cmplojed in tho colliery a long time. Jendln3 was the most horribly mangled of all. His head was split open and bis brains fell to the ground and had to be gathered up by the men. our. INJURED. Patrick Smith, bruised In back and head. I-jtrlck l'urci'll, badly cut In the back; prob- ablr fatally Injured. Patrick Kearney, bruised In tho hip nnd on the right leg; In a precarious condition. Whon the news of the accident became known there was great excitement, men, women and children flocking to the scene. Ihe relatives and friends of tho dead men gave vent to their feelings by expressions of deep grief and sorrow. After the accident a force of men were put to work clearing away the shattered wreck of tho carriage, which had been drawn to the top. Many of the iron bars and casting belonging to it wcro shattered and one of tho sills, a stick of oak timber about eight by twelve inches in size, was broken, as was also an iron rail of tho track laid upon the cage for accommodation of the cars when run on it to be raised or lowered from or Int.o the mine. A piece of the rock lay upon tho ground near by, which had been drawn up on tho cage. This piece would weigh upwards of two hundred pounds. The distance that the stone fell and the weight of It Is not known, but from the damage there must have been several pieces and tho fall must have been a hundred feet or more. Barglars Around Somctlmo during Wednesday night burglars entered the Valley Hotel, in tills borough, and broke open tho money drawer in tho bar-room, and two other drawers alongside of It,by cutting around the woodwork. But finding the till empty and nothing of special valuo In tho other drawers, they turned their attention to thellquor bottles and cigars, emptying ono bottle of lis contents and supplylnc themselves with clears. How they entered the building is a mystery, there being no evidence of doors or windows being forced open, hence it is thought they must have secreted them selves in the house sometime during the evening. On leaving tho premises they unlocked tho bar-room doors and took their departure. The loss of Mrs. Esch is only trifling, but there was a general disturbance of things In the room. There Is no clue to the rascals.
