t THE SCH ANTON TRIBUNE TIIU11S DAY MOUNING. : AUGUST 23, 189 f: GENERAL S OF Ths dUcovarjr of a vein of anthracite al at Areola Station, on th Perklo Ben railroad, waa ths tubjeot of a re lent paper by Professor 0. S. Carter, if tbe Boys' high acbool, bafora the Franklin institute, in which, acconl mg to a report printed in tbe Philadel phia Record, he presented some inter esting facts regarding tbe existence of coal in Montgomery county. Mr. Carter visited Areola, where be found the ceal seam to be 26 Inches thick at its widest part, gradually thinning down to. an inch thick. The coal proved . S a bard, compact and lus trous jraolte, which on analysis gave the (lowing results: Water.... 1 95 Volatile an a combustible matter.... G.M Fixed nrlinn 83 8 Ash 9 50 100.08 'There are other instances of the occurrence of coal in Montgomery county," eald Professor Carter. "Iu tbe new red sandstone at Norristown, ch Elm street, near tbe Stony Creek railroad, a seam .of ooal an inch in thickness was found. It only extended for a few feet, and was not very wide. It waa foand about twelve feet below the inrface, while grading the street. I also found the) striated seam of a for ail slant in the sandstone. - This coal was of a deep blaok color, pitchy in appearance, very brittle, and broke in a conoboidal fracture. e "At Gwynedd, Montaomery county, in tbe new red, is found a bed ot car bonaceous shale, colored black by traces of coaly matter which it con tains. Iu Lower Providenee town ship, Montgomery county, abont one half mile west of tha Trooper, was found a seam of ooal three inohes thick. It was used by tha village blaoksmith. Dnring the summer ot 1883 men work ing upon the new tunnel at Pbeuixville discovered two-inch seam of ooal iu tbe sandstone. It may be that a pa tient examination of these ao-called triussic slates, whioh underlie the sand stone in Montgomery county, will dis close beds of workable coal in more than one locality. No systematic search has ever been made for coal, and very few deep artesian borings have ever been made iu the new red iu Mont gomery county. In drilling the deep artesian well at Lnnsdale a bed of blaok carbonaceous slates was passed through, and under these slates, were found a bed of eoal. Dr, A. D. Markley, of Hatboro, informs mo that a thick bed of coal was passed through in drilling an artesian well at North Wales; it was found at a depth of 150 feet. These same triassio rocks have yielded large quantities of good coal in Virginia and North Carolina. In tbe earliest days ot eoal mining, more coal was taken from the red sandstone rocks of ths Richmond basin than was mined in Pennsylvania. In 1883, abont 48.000 tons were produced, which was twelve times tbe amount shipped by Pennsylvanian. In 1833 about 142,587 tons of triassio coal were mined in Virginia, or about oue-third the amonut ot anthracite produoed in Pennsylvania. Iu 1837 but one mine was 'worked,' and it produeed 30,000 tons. During tbe year severul new companies were organized to miue coal in this field." A. W. SwanUt, a "jsultlng en gineer of prumintuee, bp written a letter to the Journa oA Commerce in which he says the railroads must very soon begin to boy rails iu large quan tities. Eleven years is tbe life of a steel rail, he says, and after that time it must be removed. According to the interstate-commerce commieslou re port, there are about 19,000,030 tons of steel rails in use in tbe country, all of which must be renewed every eleven years. Tblt means 1,727,272 tons per annum on an average. Mr. Swanitz says that rail renewals have contrib uted largely to redaction ot expenses, end that tha timt has come when con tracts for new rails mast be made. Tbey cannot be longer postponed with safety. This ought to contribnte largely to tbe prosperity of tbe local rail mills, whioh are well equipped for any business that may offer. It will be remembered, says the In dianapolis Journal, that last year the grand chief of the Order of Railway Condnotora ordered the members of tbe Order of Railway Conductors on the Lebigh Valley to strike. They went out as a result and lost $200 eaob, for they could have earned at least that much money while they were doing nothing but sympathizing with the Le high Valley strikers. After the strike was declared oft tbe sympathetic con ductors made a request to the grand lodge of conductors tor the money they bad lost by obeying the order to quit work, and at they were given the cold shoulder the striking condnctors made np a purse, employed prominent law yers and brought suit against the grand lodge. The ease will come up in a court of on of tbe eastern states in September. An astern finanoial pa per, in eommenting on this nov el legal proceeding, says that should the suit be deolared in favor of tbe complainants it ia extremely probable that grand lodges will not so quickly order ont subordinate lodges, unless they have plenty af money to compen sate loose who loss wages by going out. Tblaanit will test the liabilities of trades nnlont to those who obey their orders. The eomplainants go on the theory that when a man, a firm, a cor poration, or lihey say) an order engages or employs men to do a thing bene ficial to the engager or employer, lia bility for compensation of the engaged or employed oegins. They say tbat when they gave up their places they went to work for . tbe benefit of tbe urana iioage ot conductors.

Webb, first vice president of the New York Central, says that since Aug. 1 there hat been a marked imnrovn. ment In the business of all the roads in the system. Traffic managers of the Iowa lines will soon meet tbe railroad commissioners of that state and make an effort to raise the commodity rates, which at present are very low in that state. There is said to be good ground for tbe report tbat Kngene Debs is to resign as editor of the Locomotive Firemen's Ga zette, and tbat J. B. Maynard will be se lected to fill the position for the present. It ia said tbat no road in the country bas as many old freight oars unfit for ser vice as has tbe Illinois Central. Shippers will be pleased to know that the company bat 'decided to break ap some 1,500 old cars and replace (hem with new tines. - At a meeting of tbe railroad coal opera tors of the Pittsburg district, Monday, resolution was adopted, declaring tbat il would be Unwise to operate below and it defiance ot the Columbus agreement, as i would result in a return to the conditions INDUSTRIES before the great strike, which were profit able neither to operators nor miners. The statement of tbe Reading Railroad Relief aitoclation for the month of July. 1SSM, shows payments aggregating $12, 0)1.80, as follows: On account of deaths, t.",5u0; on account of accident disable ment", 3,bhj.6U, ana ror sick aisuiu", $3,239.30. The total number of new cases reported during tbe month wai 4tt. Twelve death claims were paid, three re sulting from accident and nine from na tural causes. The new addition to No. 5 Honey Brook breaker is now in operation, says the Ha zletou Standard, and the machinery with which it ie equipped works admirably. The colliery has not been in full operation for the past few days, as it was necessary to remove tha ponderous hoisting engines to make room for the engine fitted up to run the new addition. On this account traffic on the Pan Handle branch to the Green Mountain slope has been almost en tirely abandoned and some of the coal from the (trippings is being transferred to the Tresckow colliery to be prepared. The No. 5 colliery is and has been the most proline- owned by the Lehigh ana Wilkes Barre Coal Co, in this region, and the im provement just effected will double its capacity.

JUICY BEEFSTEAKS. CLUB THAT ITS FINGERS EATS ONCE . MEAT WITH A MONTH. Tbe Peculiar Fad of the Old Cariosity Club, of Now York A Dingy 1'Iaoe of Sleeting for Wealthy Bohemians Con trast with Another Club. Within henring of the continuous clatter of the east side elevated road, in the rear room of a shop crowded, from the stand of old books at tbe door to the back windows, with the dusty, rusty, musty and curious odds and ends that have won for it the title of the Old Curiosity Shop, a man safc before a sheet iron stove cooking beef 8teafs. He was a big, powerful man, with large, strong hands, a large and mnssive head and a determined face. Yet be handled the savory segments of meat -as delicately as a woman might hnve done. SittinK around the room on-stools, chairs, trunks, piles of books and tables loaded with prints, playbills and autograph let ters were a dozen men or so, all of more or less local notoriety. There were a couple of politicians among them, a prominent up town builder, a famous contractor and house raiser and mover, a composer whoso music is played throughout the world, a bronze founder, a sculptor, several paint- era, the art editor of a great magazine, and sprinkling ot literary men, brokers, physicians and men of business all of whom supervised thecullnaTy preparations in progress at tho stove with grave interest. The rattle of conversation was as inces sant as the hissing and spitting of the steuks over the tire. The method employed by the largo man in preparing the meut was peculiar. The steaks, which were cat in thick slices, were piled on a platter. A sharp faced, Bhrawd eyed, small boy cut the slices into generous pieces. These wero put in u pan, which, tilled with boiling fat, sizzled at red heat on tho top of the stove. The surface of the meat was hardened in a moment, and then it was extracted from the pan with a long fork and broiled over the glowing coals iu the body of the stove. As each piece of steak was deposited upon a thick slice of bread in a monstrous trencher, part of a set of priceless old English china from tho stock, the rich juices confined in it com menced to leak out of the perforations made by the tines of the fork, and to souk iutothe bread in a gravy, whoso perfumo filled the air. The process of cookery was rapid, for the meat was not allowed to re main long enough on the fire to lose its teudernessand its juiciness. The pile upon the trencher grew quickly; but when, at a given signal, which consisted in n rap of the chief's fork on tho stove, the company fell to, its diminution was even more rapid. Lach man ato with his fingers for a fork aud the gravy soaked slice of bread for a dish. The Old Curiosity club is nn organiza tion composed of men who collect some thing. One is a collector of old masters uud another a collector of modern pictures. One gathers up bronzes, another ivories, nnother books. There are in the club col lectors of pistols, playbills, porcelains, photographs, armor, atlases, autograph!) and a great muny other collectible tilings. It was from their casual meeting in the shop in the course of their prowliugs in quest of the curious t hat the club took its origin. It has n regular weekly meeting on Saturdays from October until June, wheu members drop in and drop out again informally, and once a mouth treats itself and such guests as it may choose to invite to a feed on beefsteak cooked upon the plan invented by mine host Fullerton years ago when he was a Kold hunter in the mines of eastern Venezuela. On the other side of town to the Old Curiosity Shop, nnd in a vastly more aris tocratic neighborhood, let us drop iu at a private dining room over the store of a fashionable caterer. It is a spacious room, down the center of which is laid a table Bhimmering and sparkling with crystal oud silver. Tall pillars of piled up plates loadtho sideboards. Champagne cools iu silver tubs, buried to the bottle necks in cracked ice. Waiters iu full dress glido about with the noiseless movement of ghosts. On every side niagnificeut groups of roses load the air with their sensuous perfume. It is that hour of the evening when the theaters disgorge their audiences. V rattle of wheels halts short outside. Steps, voices and tho rustle of silks sound on the staircase. The silent waiter at the door opens it, and admits a lady and gen tleman in full dress. Others follow in couples, quartets and little parties. Along both curbstones of the durk side street lines of carriages are drawn up. The com pany make themselves at home. Nearly everybody knows everyhody else. Thoao who do not are speedily introduced. Borne one plays uu air brilliantly and boldly, like an expert, on the grand piano in tbe corner. A few couples whirl a turn or two of a dancu. The splendid costumes of tho women nnd the wealth of jewelry they display, the elegauco of the men, tho opulent appointments of the room itself combine to convey the impression of a pri vate party in a private house. In fact, however, we are looking in on a regular supper of tbe aristocrutic Beefsteak club, an organization composed of tbe flower of fashion in New York. The musical chime of a hugo Japanese temple bell iu the rear of the room calis the club to table. The waiters, beaded by the steward, brlug in, in procession, charger after charger of noble steaks, of the proper Lnglish rump cut, smothered in oyster sauce. There is none of the rude and hearty enjoyment of the Old Curiosity club hero. The finest Luglish cbiua re places the gravy soaked chunk of bread. Knives and forks of silver take the place of fingers, nnd champagne that of Spanish wine and beer. But, if tho truth must bo told, one may hear more bright and clever things, more wit and originality in the dusty back room of tho east side shop in one evening than during the whole season at the caterer's palace uptown. And when it comes to tho business of the meeting, no steak and oyster sauce ever had the savor of those melting morsels that the Old Curiosities eat in their natural juices, tender aud fragrant from their journey through the red hot frying pan and the bed of fiercely glowing coals. Still, halt a loaf is better than no bread, and a beefsteak prepared for service on a Royal Worcester plutter is not to be given the cold shoulder because it has not the picturesque surroundings of one broiled at the end of an iron fork. Professor Wilson held that the only fit honor mankind oould accord to beefsteaks vas to cook them properly and eat them and hia ideal nf tha cullnarv Dortion ol this ceremonv was that which Ts adopted by the Beefsteak club. Cobbett, on tbe other hand, favored his steak without uunpA flnvnrprl it'lt.h stmlnt. or tarrason and with horseradish for a condiment. If both these old time steak experts could eat a aunner with the Curiosity club, they would, I am sure, abjure their ancient methods of preparing and dressing the feast.

Is It a fear of death, or a fear of pain result lwt from any injury that might be sus tained while performing an actof bravory? I know not. I try to reason myself out of my pusillanimity. "Am I not as good as anv other man?" 1 Bay to myself. "Of course I am," I decide, and there and theb firmly resolve that the nexttimo I am called upon, to perform an act requiring courage I shall not be found wanting.

It is said a really bad play is as amusing as a really good one. Tbe same Is true of baseball, for a league contest doesn't begin to be as funny as the games in Central park on a Saturday afternoon in summer. A map and guide aren't necessary to the scene of these contests. You go as far as the dairy, and from that on you are guided by the noise. Presently one comes to a "common" on which are innumerable small boys, all vio lently saying, "A a ah I" They are playing baseball, and a boy can't play baseball without saying, "A a -uh! "Ah-a abl Dat'soutl" "Ah a ahl 'Taint needed" "Ah a ahl Yer crazy, "lis too. Didn't I ketch him out jis' deuf" "A-a-hl Wutea matter witch yert Yer did not." "A-a-hl Ycrliel" "A-a-h! 'If you say dat agin I'll smash yer. Sec?" And so on. No white rubber plates are allowed in the park for tbe batter to tup, and there are no bugs ut tbe different bases. The bases are marked oft with coats.- There isn't any greater racket when one ot these make be lieve bags is stolen than when somebody tries to but out of his turn. The reason of this is that every last drop of breuth and every rag of indignation is expended on the fellow who has wrongfully picked up the willow. There is nothing left for the thief. The spectators obligingly mark out the foul lines. "Nig" pitches a hot ball and "Poneve" Adams, who is at but, smashes it right on the corner of its jaw. The ball screams and start) for Long Island City, but it is a foul bull and so comes up aguinst the head of ono of the bystanders. It makes a ucfse like a plank fulling oil a wagon. The fel low looks a little silly and begins rubbins his fuce, which begins to swell visibly. Ha doesn't say anything. This Is supposing ho is a "grown up." If he be a small boy he wrinkles up bis face, draws in his breath about a ininuto and a 1ml f and lets go of a yell that would be deafening any place else, but is simply unnoticed here, for tbe pitcher and the catcher are standing very close together and giving each other such looks as rival cats do. They are snarling "A-a-h!" at each other and promisingtogive the other a poke in the eye. You might go nil over the green and never see any disputo with the umpire, whom they call "do umpie," the letter "r" in New Y'ork dialect having a tendency to melt away.

Some sell w"k lemouade and others peddle what they call "lossen gers." New York World. Eccentric Diners In Taris Ilestaurnnts. The Paris restaurants have a weulth of Btories about eccentric diners, l'rince Soltykoff, according to the gossips, was uccustomed to consult the menus ut two of the most celebrated bouses, choosing that which hud his favorite dishes. After dining well he used to give the waiter in structious to wake him in a couple of hours, whereupon he would drop into a sound sleep, and hardly move until his time was up. The Duke of Brunswick was a frequent customer at the house which often secured the priuce's putronuge. On one occasion, it is suid, a Russian committed suicide ut a table near where he was dining. The nobleman consequently sent for the pro prietor and bitterly upbraided him for allowing his digestion to be upset by s., tragic a scene! It was iu tho same restaurant tbat a number of gentlemen dined daily for forty- live years a record which beats that of the Grand hot el, ot Indianapolis, the pro prietor of which says that he had a boarder who regularly paid his monthly bill for sixteen years.

Drake s Magazine An Old Style Sailboat. Captain Collins, who is familiar with all the builds ot foreign fishing bouts, tells about the Newfoundland pinkio boat, some few ot which are still found off tbe Kew Engluud coast. For size and build, the pinkie is a clever bout, with her strong sternpost and sharp bow. It is highly probably that the pinkie is a survival of the oldest form of Norse boat brought to England a thousand years ago, aud as for that, the lines of tho dory came over to Kew England with the pinkie from the mother country.
