victimized several posts. The Board of
trustees of the Soldiers and Sailon
Home at Erie, have sent out a circular
in which the rules and regulations for

nearer tho platform. Mr. Drury claims
that upon the solution of the labor ques
tion depends the proper malntalnence
of our country. Society lias been ad
vanced; civilization elevated nnd sancti
fied by labor; labor Is the fact between
barbarism and civilization, and that
we, as the laborers of the world, havo
the privilege to ask for a change in the
position of tho laborers. He vividly
pictured the life of the laborer of the
fourteenth century and compared It
Itli the condition of the toilers of to
day; declaring that the laboring class of
our times aro entitled to tho prlvllego of
more enjoyments and better wages than
the same class of people threo or four
centuilcs ago, from the fact, thaldttilng
that time our country has advanced and
not rcceeded. He recalled how a quar
ter of a century ago it would have been
an Impossibility to assemble, an audience
of such large numbers as were present,
to hear him. how at that time, any one
who had the courage to resent for a
moment the Injuries Inflicted by low
wages and over-rt ork, would In all pro
bability, be knocked down, black-listed,
branded with calumny and prevented
from getting employment in any work
shop In tho tow n or city, and the pres
ence of such a large audience in this
little town, was an indication that the
cause of tho worklngman was gaining
ground in public sentiment. He advo
cated the doing away of boscs In ail
public works, and In this way increase
the laborers wages. He was loudly ap
plauded as he spoke in a light, jocular
manner of the actions of many bosses
who do "ttc7i deep thinking." The
speaker claimed that the purpose of the
labor movement is to do what has never
before been attempted the abolition of
poverty. The fact that the labor ques
tion Is not without a purpose, a moral
and a method Is synonomous of Its ulti
mate success. Dining tho two hours
which tho speaker occupied the plat
form he urged repeatedly the organiza
tion of trade union's and to generally
'organize, elucato and agitate."
Obltnary. Mi3 Hattio H. Williams.
On last Friday morning, at her home
In Packerton, after a long period of con
flncment nnd intense bodily sufferings,
the soul of this exemplary young lady
wafted Its flight heavenward. Several
years ago Miss William was converted
to God, and slnco then she has lived in
such close communion with Him that
deatli, to this disciple of Jesus, was
only like stepping from one room to an
other, and a far better room of our
Father's house. During Miss Williams'
residence in this placo a few years ago
she made hosts of friends,many of whom
followed her remains, slowly and sadly
to their last resting place in the Lehlgli
ton cemetery. What tender and sor
rowful thoughts thrill one at a time like
this, when we look upon tho face of a
departed friend for the last time; how
our memory goes back to tho days of
early acquaintance and recalls the many
pleasant associations connected with
the deceased, and how sad to know that
they shall be no more.
Miss Hattio H. Williams was born
In Mauch Chunk, in the year of our
Lord 1805, and departed this life at
Packerton, Friday. January 20th, lSSfl,
aged twenty yeirs five montl s and
twenty-two days; on Sunday the 31st
ultimo, was interred In the Lehlgliton
cemetery, services were held In the M.
E. church, this borough, llc.v. Cook.the
paster, and l'ev. Powell, of Packerton,
officiating. A largo concourse of sor
rowing relatives and friends followed
tho remains to their last resting place.
We extend to the afflicted mother and
brothers our heartfelt sympathy in this
sad hour of their bereavement.
"Oh, what are all my snflei fnss here,
If, l.onl, thou count me meet
Willi that enraptured host to appear,
And nor hip at thy feet!
Give joy or erlef, give ease or pain;
Take all my friends away,
nut let me Hud them all again
la that eternal day."
Mahanoy Plane House Destroyed.
The axles of sonio eight-wheeled
cars being hoisted from tho Mahauoy
Plane of the Philadelphia and Heading
Railroad Company struck the tip Friday
morning, 20th ult. The friction caused
the oil-saturated floor to take fire nnd
before the employes of the piano house
realized It the whole building was en
veloped in flames. The engine house
yvas filled with ponderous machinery
and as the Internal supports of the stone
walls wcro burned out they caved In,
doing Irretrievable damage. In an hour
and a half the wiiolo structure, with Us
contents, was In ruins. Tho machinery,
which was of the most valuable pattern,
was wholly destroyed.
The piano was originally designed by
Stephen Glrard. It was used to .trans
fer coal from the Shenandoah and
Mahanoy Valleys across Broad Moun
tain for more convenient access to the
company's main line. Without it the
coal would liave to bo transported over
the Gordon Plane or around by way of
Tamaqua, the increased expense of
hauling adding very materially to the
cost of the coal. The plane was com
pleted In 1801 and since then ha beer
lu almost constant use. The machinery
was built by George W. Snyder's colliery
ion works and is the original pattern
of the large machinery used on the
Wilkesbarrc Plane. It wa the admira
tion of machinists and the subject of
many scientific reports to societies of
engineers. The direct loss by the fire Is
$50,000, while the consequential dam
age will greatly swell the amount. It
will take nearly a year to rebuild the
house and replace the machinery.
The Coal Trade
The condition of tho coal trade re
mains practically unchanged. No at
tempts have yet been made to form a
new combination for the anthracite
trade for 1S80 and no preliminary meas
ures liaye been taken looking toward
such action. Prices are a trifle lower If
anything than a week ago. In New
York the demoralization Is reported
greater than at Philadelphia. The
Lackawanna Company persists In its
demand that the production for the first
quarter bo placed at 0,500,000 tons.
While otficr companies object to so large
an apportionment, they are all mining
at tills rate. The production for tho
first three weeks In January was 1,570,-
000 tons. Mr. Gowen is said to be in
favor of mining 33,000,000 tons this year
as against a total of 31,500,000 tons was
mined last year. This lias caused much
unfavorable comment, as the production
wa greater than the demand last year,
and It is not understood where this extra
3,500,000 tons can be marketed.
The stock on hand of the Beading
Railroad Company at Port Richmond is
about 100,000 tons of all sizes. Tho
lino and city trade is quite brisk, with
especial demand for lump, steamboat
and broken sizes.
iV strong bituminous coal combination
has been formed to control tho output
of the Clearfield region. The demorali
zation In soft coal prices is reported to
be as great as in the anthracite trade
and the outlook for the near future is
not considered favorable for higher
prices. Philadelphia Times.

Bv Tiir. Committee.
Joiix C. E.vo and his young wife, ac
cording to a Quebec correspondent of
the Ecentny Post, haye, over slnco their
enforced exile In tho quaint old French
Canadian city, been pressing themselves
Into tlie set of society which centres
around tho garrison, tho local Cabinet
Ministers, nnd the Government ofllccrs.
At first Eno merely sauntered around
tho rotunda of tho Russell House; a
year later ho was occasionally to be seen
at the Garrison Club, and now ho is a
regular habitue of the resorts patronized
by the "best people.1' His formal de
but Into society, however, may bo con
sidered to date from last Wednesday
evening, 20th ult., when he attended
tho annual ball of tho Aurora Snowshoc
Club. This Is one of tho social events
of the season. Eno was accompanied
by his wife, who was looked upon as
one of the belles of the evening. She
fairly glittered with diamonds. Among
the notables present was Sir Atlolph
Caron, tho Canadian War Minister, the
dandy of tho Cabinet, and the one pe
culiar Mlnlstcrupon whom tho Princess
Louise, and, in fact, the ladles In gen
eral, have always bestowed their special
favors. The Lieutenant-Governor, al
though he accepted an Invitation, was
not present, and It is said on good auth
ority that his absence was owing to the
fact of his Ade-de-Camp, Capt. Shep
pard, having Informed him of the pres
ence of the American bank wrecker.
The circumstance has caused no end of
gossip, and several leading members of
the club have sent in their resignations.
How Eno managed to get an invitation
has not yet been learned, but It Is said
that his lawyer, who was on the Com
mittee of Management, secured him a
ticket.
