Reunited After Fiftoen Years.
A strange case of a couple being re
united after many years of separation
came bt-fore Alderman Dotiohoe a few
days ago. Richard O. Duvles. a resi
dent of Wilkes-Barre, deserted his wife,
Su: .111, seventeen years ago, and fifteen
years ago she secured a warrant for
her husband's arrest for non-support.
The warrant was not served until yes-
ttrday, and when the long separated
couple met, their ill-feeling had van-
l.-i:ed mid they decided to re-untte.
After some soothing and fatherly ad
vice by the 'squire the reconciliation
was complete and Mr. and Mrs. Davis
left the otilce apparently as happy as
a newly wedded couple on their wed
ding trip. v
Yesterday's Base Hall.
There was great enthusiasm in this
city among the base. Ball fiends yes
terday afternoon when the ecore of
Wllkes-Barre. 6; Springfield, 0, came in.
It seemed almost incredible to the
cranks that Betts should have shut
out the Ponies a second time on their
own grounds, and curiously enough,
make the same score of six runs that
they did on their last trip, about a
month ago. There was a bi crowd of
people around the Leader office, and
when Wilkes-Barre won the second
game In the ninth Inning, a howl of Joy
went up that could be heard a block
away. The team will get a hearty re
ception on their return to this city.
Arrested for Assault.
Yesterday afternoon John McDougall,
of Carey avenue, was arrested on a
charge of criminally assaulting the 7-year-old
daughter of John Rymer, and
also a little German girl, about the
same age. whose name could not be
learned. The prisoner denied the charge
and said he was playing with the chil
dren. The mayor held him for a fur
ther hearing.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
. The Pullman Palace Car company
has advanced the wages of its 4,000
employe 10 per cent. The advance is
due to ahe bright business outlook.
According to current statistics Penn
sylvania is, next to New York, the
largest trolley tate in the Union. New
York has 1.GS3 miles of street railway
trackage; Pennsylvania has 1,422 miles.
In no other state has tlhe progress of
the trolley made such headway; this
Is evidenced by the fact that of the
track mileage of 1,422 miles there are
operated by electricity 1.304 miles, the
remainder having animal-power, cable,
or some other which may be described
as miscellaneous. The showing of
Pennsylvania in the matter of securi
ties Issued against track mileage is
very much better than that of New
York a fact which should commend
Itself do Investors. The capital liabil
ities (stock and (bond) of the Pennsyl
vania street railway companies oper
ating mileage of 1,422 miles aggregate
$158,601,410, whlclh is at the rate of
$111,800 per mile of track. This com
pares with New York's capital liabili
ties (stock and bond) of $329,308,163, or
at the rate of $207,100 per mile of track,
with total mileage of 1,583 miles. The
equipment of Pennsylvania limes is,
moreover, probably better as a whole
than those of New York. Another
point In favor of Pennsylvania is that
the funded debt of the companies Is
comparatively small, namely. $42,307,
540, or ait .the rate of only $29,700 per
mile of track. New York's funded debt
per mile of track Is $96,700. Tlhe capi
tal stock of the IPennsylvanla compa
nies, on the other hand, 1 somewhat
out of proportion to the amount of the
funded debt; the aggregate of the for
mer is $116,293,850. But this is at the
rate of only $81,700 per mile of track,
gainst $111,200 per mile of track in New
York.
The statement of shipments of an
thracite coat for the week ended Juno
29, 1895, a prepared by the Bureau of
Anthracite Coal Statistics, shows an
output of no less than 1,117,637 tons
661,256 tons from the Wyoming region,
338,705 tons from the Schuylkill region,
and 197,676 tons from the Lehigh region.
Large as Is tfhe total, H Is, as the Stock
holder points out, 256,213 tons hss than
were produced In the corre.pnndlng
week last year; but In June, 1S94, the
companies endeavored to demonstrate
the full capacity of their respective
colllortes, which they drd, wMh the re
sult that a blow wa dealt to the an
thracite coal trade, tlhe effects of which
are still apparent According to the
weekly return of the bureau, last
month's shipments ' will aggregate
about 8,743,075 tons, or, say, 1,103,853
tons less than In June, 1894. These fig
ure are only approximate, however,
and while In the final report for the
month some cha nge will be shown, tlhe
chang will not be Important. If the
above total Is not greatly exceeded, the
companies wlU have for the second time
tn succession, lived up to the agree
ments of their sales agents to produce
only a 'Certain amount of. coal In a
month. There may -be no significance
In this fact, tout It looks very much aa
(though the companies are not now
fighting each other a they had done for

Jut above him or 'meanly contemptu
ous of the one Jimt below him. He
would not tattle about hi friends or
vlllify his enemies. He would not In
terpret and understand the meanness
of other people by his own meanness
wider the belief that It showed hi su
perior virtue. If anything particularly
outrageous were said In the newspapers
about one of his friend he would not
show It to all his other acquaintances;
nor after this would he send a marked
copy of It to the victim on, the pretense
of condoling-with him and being eym
pathlilnfrly Indignant about it. Nor
would the be forever trying; to turn
somebody etue down so as to get him
self tn the position of being the big dog
under the wagon or tlte large toad in
the puddle. He would not feel elevated
himself when his friend were 'called
down,' nor woud he seek friends mere
ly for the purpose of boosting himself
on their shoulders above someone else.
There are a great many other thing
tie would not do, perhaps, but It 1 not
necessary to catalogue them.
THE SAME OLD STORY.
The painter brings his ladder and his paint
and brushes fins,
Ha starts in work at S o'clock and disap
pears at nlno;
Comes back at JUBt eleven fifteen he'd
"gone to get a brush"
And then until It's twelve o'clock works
with a feverish rush.
Knocks oft at twelve and eats till one
then ho to mix his paint,
Producing awful odors that male every
- body faint; '
Flirt with your servant for on hour, until
you Interfere,
And use twenty minute more to get a
can of beer.
Then say the Job will take two day, as
' i he goes oft to sup,
Leaving hi pot and brush Just where
they wiU trip you up.
