character of the city, and a reproach to the
ago in which wp live. , Why the poor and de.
graded souls who at times' are compelled to
take shelter within, its walls, should bo sub•
jected to incarceration in such a filthy. pen
as it is, gocit beyond the comprehension of
- humanity. This is a matter which keallB for
'attOntion on the part of the city. on the

for safety in confining a desperate character,
unless he is closely watched, it is entirely
inadequate for the purpose. Wo ought 'to

proper nceommodations for Council meet

weeks ago, a gentlemaniresiding on one of
the principal streets of this city, had occa
sion to leave home on business that wotdd
detain him from home, ho did not know how
long:. Ile had a rife and ono or two chil
dren, of whom, he . was very fond, and loft
homemith a great deal of reluctance. Ills
wife was gay and exceedingly handsome,and
was very fond of good, cheerild company.
It was very lotioly for her'after her husband
had gone (rem home, mid to pass the time
she would dress in . the afternoons: and
promenade the streets in pleasant weather.,
She was handsome And dreesoa With a gicat
deal of tasted and was a very neat, graceful
figure on the street. In one of her; prole°.
nades Elbe attracted & attention of one of
our active business men, who 'after some
tuanmayting, succeeded in procuring an in
troduction to her. Ile became, fascinated
with her and visited her frequently, which
she did not appear to have had any objection
to. One Tuesday afternoon the weather was
so bright and •pleasant that they concluded
to go out with a carriage and take a ride. It
was a beautiful `October day, and they were
enjoying , themselves very much, when the
horses bectitne frightened and turned around
'short, tossing both of them out of the car
riage:' Neither of them was hurt verimuch,
but one side of the lady's face was slightly
eat by coming in coutact with some shrub
bery where she fell. This little accident
,was. kept from the public for a lime, but

the future. A largo lot of grain Is now shipped
from the West, which is bought at the ruling
pricei without reserve. Several herivy orders have
been sent West this morning for grain, and we
"have been informed that the orders will bo ow

NIWRII. in the annals bf the coaltrade,'haVa the
Ph ibm ents been so heavy at this season of We year,
as at the present time, The total shipment from
the Sehuylk 11 Lehigh; Wyoming and Da4skatranna
regions for the week ending November 20, 1188,
were, in round numbers, 315,000 tons. • This bas
been about the average weekly shipment for the
past two months. Of this vast amount 102,000 tons
weresbipPed over the Reading Rallroad,KOM over
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, 50,000 over the Lehigh

total shipments [dr the year. up to this time, aro
1,400,000 tons more than they were last year, With
all this increase and this steady supply it must re

Tua Mauch Chunk Democrat says ."Coal ope

of the eolintry Is Yeti matte. The coal business
has been- vary good Of late. but sales ere made on
three and four months' credit. and paper has-not
yet commerical to mature. Other business is dull.
The spring' trade was dull; thoraxes hardly any
summer trade at all, anti the hoped for revival in
the fell has not come r As a contiequeneo,"stime.
business men are standing in a dangorotis tittitdde,
with no telling how soon disaster, may overtake
them. Our banks aro overrun for loans; a man in
