Last Frldaj was the thirty-second anni versary of South Bethlehem, and with the event comes a sltange coincidence. In 1S51 the town was known as Wetherlll. In that year Charles Brodhcad, a relative ot Jefferson Davis, owned the lots on which South Bethlehem Is now building. The lots were then known as the Ranch and Luekenbach farms. In 1855 he conveyed the Ranch farm back to Its formcr'owncis, but reserved eight acres for a national foundry which Jefferson Davis, then Sec retary c,r Bar, contemplated erecting there. That land Is now being used for a similar purpose. The new building which the iBeililehepij Iron Company is ,qccctlng,for uic turning out of anpor plate and gun forging; ,! i located on the ground men tioned. It is situated on Second street ryidj runs-parallel with the Lehigh Valley Rail road. ' Tho Coal Trade. Philadelphia Ledger, 4lU, inet: The anthracite coal trado season of 1SS7-8 lias opened. The spilng circulars of prces for eoal to the lino nnd city trade and for ship ment beyond the Canes of the Delaware and from Elizabetlmort were nubllshed last Monday. Since then the rales of tolls from Maueh Chunk ond Schuylkill Haven via: railroads and, canals have been an nounced, the tolls by the former being fixed at $1.80 per ton and by the latter at $1.35. pea nnd 'buckwheat sizes and culm being charged 15 cents per ton less than for the lanjer sizes. For shipment beyond the Capes tho toll ou coal delivered free on board the vessel at Port Richmond Is $1.55 per ton, excepting for pea, buckwheat and culm, which will pay 15 cents per ton less toll. Heretofore the custom has been for the Reading Railroad to charge the shipper :13 percent of the price actually obtained for the coal f. o. b. at that shipping point. In the past, when overproduction or com petition caused by any other reason nec essitated this Individual operators to sell their coal at a lower price than the Reading Company's circular figures the railroad suffered a-proportion of the decreased profit. Now the railroad proposes a fixed rate of freight from tho mines to tidewater, and In the future, should there occur a de cline in tho market prices for anthracite, the Individual operators must bear the full loss themselves. When the coal business, becomes dull, unless the Individual can find storago accommodation for his coal, he must pay the full rate of tolls and either sell his coal at a reduction and assume himself tho decreased piolit or full losj, as the case may bs, or else "shut down" his operation nnd suspend mining. For many veari past it lias been the custom of anthra cite operators and shlppeis and tlie coal transporting companies to open the season with luwcnrice for coal and reduced rates )f tolls compared with those which ruled during tlie winter immediately preceding. This year, however, that old custom has not prevailed, and not only have the prices not been lowered but they have actually been advanced over Ihe past winter's prices for some sizes, and the tolls, too, remain the same. At present the anthiacitc busi ness Is dull, and It will In all probability continue, so'fcr at least thirty or sixty days. The prices for coal, excepting for steam sizes, are somewhat weaker thau they weiu a week or two ago. There is very little coal In either first or second hands any where, and at tlie several tidewater ship ping points the accumulated stock of coal is unusually low for this period of the year. Most of tlie coal being dally forwarded fiopi the mines Is going directly Into con sumption and, compared with the past several years, the average prices now being obtained for anthracite are much higher. As Is well known, the old "combination" for the regulation of the anthracite trado expired by limitation on the first Instent. Nobody seems lo be worrying asto a method for either preventing overproduction or maintains prices during this year. The public belief Is that while the old "pool" has exuired there still exists "an under standing between gentlemen" that the anthracite business Is too Important nu Industry to penult It to go entirely as it pleases, and that, consequently, Its Inter ... . , , , , , , . est will be cared for, and that an excessivt OUtt STROLLER AT WEIS3P0BT.

Harrisburg Telearuvh: Tho tremendous battle fought twentv-four years ago, upon Pennylvanla soil, and within hearing of this city, is to-day as full of interest to tlie pcoulc of the whole country ns It was tlie day nfter the light. As life yeaispabsby and the prominent actors lu tho Titanic struggle pass one by one away, citizens seem to become more and more alive to the magnitude and Importance of the subject and wish to learu everything connected wiiu me. name tnat was truly the begin ning of tlie end of the rebellion. Tho na- pers generally and magazines teem with articles on Gettysburg. All through the spring ami summer streams or pilgrims, numbering tens of thousands, visit the field and linger a; ound tho spots made famous auu sacreu uy glorious needs ot uoDle men. This Statu did a good deal when, shortly after the great event, it appropriated a large sum of money ,59 procuyii a painting to commemorate the. battle. Twenty-live thousand dollars was well spent In this dl h'C'lou, and lotliermel's picture of Geltys hin j was thd result. A noblo work It is an now well known to everyone, by the superb engraving, by Sartalu of tho work. Panoramas, dioramas and cyclorumas In numerable have been gotten up from time to time, and now the most elaborate ami important effort, as yet made, to give the people of tlie State a true, vivid- and cor nil idea of the tluee eventful days of July, IftB, has been presented. The"(Jeltvsburg exposition company was formed a year or two since, whoc object was to illustrate the battle, from lltst to last, hv a scries of Immense paintings, when the necessary capital was subset Ibed, the company ob tained the services In tho eminent Phila dclphl.i artist, Frank D. Briscoe. Ho se lected his own corps of assistants, and now the result is presented in the shape of ten superb works of art. Colossal in size mag iillicent in finish and correct in detail. Eacli painting Is about the size of one for which the Male paid Rothennel fJS.OOO, n;id the. whole ten, from a complete and correct history of the battle from the first shot fired by Fifty-sixth Pennsylvania vol unteers on the morning of July 1, until the last moment of the struggle, when at half past 3 o'clock, on July 3, Pickett's division and Hill's corps were hurled back crushed and defeated from Cemetery Ridge. Those spl.emlld works will be shown ul the opera house this afternoon and evening, and every one nho loves his country and revcis the memory of the men who fought and won the noble victory should be present. This beautiful and artistic drama of the Battle of Gettysbuig, will exhibit In School Hall, for the benefit of John D. Beitolctle Post, 011 Thursday evening, April 11. Ad inlision, 35 cents; reserved seats, 60 cents. Don't you fall to see this very beau Iful exhibition. IM THE LABOR WORLD. Specially Compllod for the Toilers by an Ad vocate Han, The Wilkesbarre breaker boys have joined the Amalgamated Association. The Lehigh & Susquehanna track-men now work ten hours per day Instead of nine. It Is now settled that tho Philadelphia & Reading employees are to be paid by check.'' The coal managers decided to restrict Ihe production ot anthracite lor the month of April to 2,200,000 tons. General Master Workman Powderly early Monday had a long talk with George McNeil of Boston about the state ot tho order. The prospects for a good year In trade circles was never brighter than now. Cap ital and labor aro in perfect harmony In pretty near alt sections of the country. About 000 framcrs In Brookly struck for increased wages, and stopped a large amount of building. Several of the master builders with largo contracts yielded. Organlze.agitateand educate.arc words emblematic of thcKnlghlsof Labor, which pushed to successful ends, means better wages, Intellectual advancement, and the laborers of the world members of one or ganization. Capital and labor aro mutually de pendent and they should share with each other good and bad fortune they should go hand In hand In accomplishing tho rapid nhtlj certain 'development of enterprise and never Impede progress. The leading railroad men, such as De- pew, Jay Gould, etc., aro said to highly approve tho Commissioners appointed by President under tho Inter-State Commerce law. Isn't this fact a doubtful compliment to the Commissioner. Nearly all of the boss framcrs In New- York city have granted tho demand of the journeymen for a uniform rate of wages. At their headquarters, 80 First avenue, Monday, It was reported that out of sixty-five bosses fifty-five bad granted the demand. Andrew Carnegie has written a letter thanking his two thousand employees at the Edgar Thomson steel works for -this reception they gave hjni the other day ns thetialn bringing him from New York passed through Braddock, Pa. It Is his first visit to Plttsburgsince his recent Ill ness The American section of tho Socialistic Labor party has established at Its head- juarters. 143 East Eight street a free library, which Is to known as the New York Labor Lyceum. Next Sunday the differences between the teachings of Socialism and the theories of Henry George arc to be discussed. The Bethlehem Iron Company lias re ceived the government contracts for thir teen hundred and ten tons of steel gun forcings and forty-five hundred tons of steel armor plate for the completion of vessels now under construction by the de partment. Tills company's bids, which were the lowest presented, were respective ly $002,230.70 and $5,010,707.50. The Pennsylvania Legislature lias pas sed a bill which provides that every person or corporation employing females In nuy manufacturing, mechanical or mcrchantile establishment in this State shall provldo suitable scats for their use, and shall per mit tho use of such by them when they are not necessarily engaged In active duties. Any linn or corporation violating any of tho provisions of this act shall bo punished by flue of not less than $25 nor more than $00 for each offense. Good I Nearly all the contractors In Rochester have notified the masons nnd helpers that they must quit work unless they agree to work ten hours per day. Jlost of the men have stopped, and on many unfinished buildings work Is al a standstill. Several months ago the masons notified the con tractors that they would work only nine hours per day after April 1, and this lock out is the result of the notice. The 200 employees of the Mcllert Foun dry and Machine Company .have been advanced sums varying from five to ten cents per day. The company's treasurer, Peter D. Wanner, bluntly states that the Iron trade does not warrant the increase, but that It is granted to avoid trouble with tho men. Very Considerate corpora tion. The B500 carpenters employed by the contractors and ship owners throughout Chicago and suhuibs ceased Monday morn ing, and building operations In that sec tion will be suspended Indefinitely. The leaders of the carpenters, who carry out their demands for eight hours and .111 In crease of wages decided then to renew the contest, and think that now when building enterprise Is reviving and carpenters are wanted tho time has arrived' to make the omployers yield. The carpenters uro well organized. Scarcely 300 of their trade In that distrect aro outside their ranks. The decision was mado at a secret mass-meeting held Monday, at which 0000 men were present. We are sorry to see so many papers de voted to the Interests of labor, advocating a principle In direct opposition to the labor ing classes. We speak of the Georgian theory of land confiscation a dognia. which In theory, allures the honest worklucmati with bright promises; a dogma, which put to a practical test, would be a lamentable failure. Take for instance, Tom and Pete start out In life; capital on hand, a good trade; by somo mischance Pete gets into bad company, spends his wages as fast as he gtts U; 'i'oin, qulel, steady and Indus trious, keeps aloof from gay companions, and makes good use of his snare hours and lays by a Utile money every month. Tom's employer seeing the good qualities In him, after a time, advances his wages and gives him a more responsible position. Pete goes from bad to worse, while Tom steadily ad vances. At fifty Pete is a confirmed vaga bond, Tom Is in business for himself and Is tlie owner of three or four nice dwellings which yield him a nice competency. Here we haye tho two sides of the case. Because one man Is steady and Industrious in his habits, and acquires wealth by thrift and energy, common sense tells us that It Is wrong to eonllscate tliatwlilcn represents ttventy or thirty ycais of toil, for the bene fit of the careless, devil-may-care laborer who spends his money and time in the corner grog shop. The stones broken by tramps this winter for being furnished with lodging and break fast In Bethlehem, will, It Is said, macada mize one block ot street In that borough. C. M. Mertz, lately appointed mall agent between Eastou and Hazleton lias resigned the position and Charles Wlckert, of Allentown, bat been appointed to fill the vacancy. WAnm.K-nrjrBtoHKii.
