the Hiunllest number in blast at the

for their own consumption aggregated

less than half tbe production in the

orBhnost2'.i per c-nt. These figures ex
clnde the comparatively small quantity
of standard rails mid a larger quantity
of street rails, which were made by
manufacturers from purchased blooms,
The new traffic alliauca which tin
New York, Susquehanna and Western
has made with the Wilkes-B irre and
Enstern is in the naturo of expected
newe, since the latter road practically
belougs to the former. The only point
in the new deal worthy of particular
notica is the recently manifested eager
nss nf Xew York railroads to tap the
coal tielde.
The Wilkes Birr Tiius proposed
that the miners of buzsrne county
hold a mass m eting to encoara re H ip.
resentative Hines lu his opposition to
the free coal clause. Apropos it adds:
"Specious pious have beeu formulated
in support of free coal, but tt Standi to
rsaeon that wh"n influential politicians
as Whitney, Hewitt and other noted
Democrats organize a great coal com
pany In Canada, tney upset to make
money, ana a goo i deal ot money, not.
by the sale of Hie product in tin l
mini'in. but in tbe United BtStaf, The
fact becomes more deeply impressed
when it is found that these eauio men
are interested in railroads and vessels
running from tludr mines through
Cantda. It is fully demonstrate! that
coal can be mined in Nov Sjotia and
lauded in Boston, fall River or at any
of the Inkejporti'.c'aeaner than Pennsyl
vania coal. The Whitney eyu licate,
made up almost entirely of American
fpecnlators, understand this and had
the free coal itm put into the Wilson
bill. These facts furnish a fine object
lesson for every min jrin Pennsylvania.
It must reveal to them the disaster that
will follow the passage of a hill admit
tingcoal free of duty. All that unv
man is required to do to convince him
self that tnere is a big Job in tbe prem
ises somewhere, is merely to recall the
close relations existing between Mr.
Whitney uud President Cleveland. "
Ex-Sheriff A. B. Stevens, formerly
manager of the Steven colliery, and
who still makes his home in West
Pittston, is now Interested in coal min
ing operations in the Sshnylklll region.
He has, says the Pittston (iazette, se
cured possession of a tract of 238 acres
of good coal land in Schuylkill town ship,
of the conntv of the same name.
. test slope lias beeu driven on
tbe property already und a second
is now bung started, lha engines
and other machinery necessary for the
work were made at the mean works
in West Pittston, and were shipped to
day. There are three veins of good
coal on the property, and Mr. Stevens
says that they lie in such glinpe as to
inuko the 28H acres worth in the ueigh -
borhood of 400 acres In this section. A
large new breaker is to be built, but
work on this will not be started until

We feel thai some exnlanation Is due ti the
taxpayers lor the extraordinary expenditures
lor liuproveiiieiiis anu repairs noieu in inc.
reirart. The main expenditure Is for a Imlld
lug for sane men. the ueed tor which has been
left many years. The building for sane males
used up to this time wan the original frame
almshouse, which was iunufHciout for the ac
commodation of all tho male Inmates, nnd the
overflow was uccoiumodaled In the basement
f the Insane building, the (insanitary condi
tion of which was a constant tpnroeof com
plaint. With the OOnaant of the state bon d
of ehurltles, which approved of the plans, wu
contracted for the erection of a large lire
proof building, whl h Is now approaching
completion and which will be ample for tho
purposes for which it Is Intended for mans
years to come, iiiaklne due allowance for the
lucrcaec of ibo population of tbe district.
Recreation In t lie open air is necessary for
tho physical bia'lh and oenefloiaj to the
mental condition ol the Ir.ianc. Tho fence
about the recreated! grounda. liuilt about ten
years ago. h id become so insecure that it waa
unsafe to ullow the insane in it. Desiring to
tnske the work secure and permanent, we
have enclosed the groiiuds with a brick wall
eight feet high, with a brick wall in the cen
tre, dividing It into two yards for the sepal a
Hon of tbe sexes. A looted walk t urn, about
thu Inside of the outer walls, a pavilion hi s
been built In the . enter of each yard, SJ that
the tiisnne may have their customary exercise
In wet weather.
A conduit, tu which the steam pipes of the
institution have been placed, was also one of
the important Improvements "f the year.
