R. 317 Lackawanna Ave, NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA OUTLOOK FOR ANTHRACITE. The IMiilitdrlplifit Ledger Pi nils Jlnnv It cm so in Tor Hiirotir.igcmciit. Phllndrlphlu, Aug. The Ledger satv The anthmcltc trade Is looking lorwnid to an r.ctlve fall business. Lntst week thf cnlllptles In the Schuyl kill region worked five days, and wcn It not for the pcarclty of cars they would probably have been operated for i-ix ilnyp. an- they were In the previous week, t'ntll two weeks ugo the miners In the Schuylkill region had not aver aged over l'A days" work per week for nbout eight months, nnd the colliers In llio Lehigh and Wyoming districts fared little. If any, better. Now most of the coal breakers In all of the an thtneite lleldst are working from live in fix days per week and on at least thiee-quartfirf time. This month all the available rolling Mock, both old nnd new, has been pressed into service to carry eoal from the mines to market. At tidewater there have been for some days past miles of ears loaded with coal awaiting tihlpmcnt, but owing to the stormy weather vtsels have been unable to get Into port until tho last two or thre days. All the mailable bottoms are now eagcily sought after to carry car goes eastward both from Ntw York l::ul)cr and Port lllchmonil, and ves htl freights for this season of the year have been higher than for several years at. Tho general resumption of woik In the nntluacltc regions lias brought gladness to the hearts of not only the mlneis but also to the merchants, manufacturers, bankers and all others doing business in Schuylkill, Lehigh, Carbon and other counties of this stai", where for the past half-year there has been much distress as :i result of the enforced Idleness of the worklns peo ple. The markets appear to be now In excellent condition and without nny material surplus accumulation of coal, ard the dealers and consumers must boon begin to buy fieelv, having so long delayed slocking their yards and bin3 with fuel lor consumption during the coming fall ar.d winter seasons. The pilcrs for coal are belns llrmly held, nnd there Is already neird talk of a further advance, at Iast for the high tjrade coals before Sept. 1. COAL POLICE DOOMED. Humored the fompniili's ."Unv Dis pense Willi thf ruinous System. Uazleton, Aug. 2. If the officials of the Lehigh Valley Coal company do nut rescind their decision to employ In the future only' the regular watch men about the collieries, and to dis pells" ilth Us coal and Iron police, It Is fc.ucd tho latter system will be doomed. The avstem vat. organized by the various companies years ago, wher lnvles.iness and crime were common In this inctlon, and great services have been rendered by the members of the force. It Is understood that the main reason for the Lh!g!i Valley's action j that the company will save consider able money by reorganizing a force thtough Its watchmen. A meeting of the representatives of the companies will be held in this city this week at which the coal and Iron policemen will endeavor to persuade the companies to break away from their decision for the abolition of the system.

The writ was given to Sheriff James Martin and ho went down to tho Kear ney residence on Hazlo street. He was tnken up to the girl's room and found her III In bed.

The sheriff returned without tho girl nnd stated to the plaintiff's attorney that he would bring her Into court when she was able to come.

What a symbol of lovo Is that circle of gold, By the token of which our devotion was told! How our youthful affection shines out, as It seems, In tho light of tho romance around It that gleams; And It knows no beginning or ending, or why Its continuing courso should not run till wo die. And a sign and a seal of our reverence, too, Had a part In our creed, when that old ring was new, When a slender, light hand was upraised to our lips And our kisses wero pressed on Its slim finger tips. For that circle of gold seemed a hallow ing pledgo Of a homage profounder than words dared allege. But the metal that's purest wears quick cat away, And that old wedding ring has grown thinner today; Yet tho hand which It graced graces It In its turn With a muglc the alchemist vainly would learn. For sweet charity's touch has so filled It with gold That that hand never lacked to tho hun gry and cold. And the summers may come, and the summers may go, And the winters may whiten the hair with' their snow; Still tho hand which a lover delighted to kiss Wears tho signet of half a century's bliss, And no earnest of Joy In tho heavms above Is moro euro than that ring and Its cyclo of love, Now York Sun.

SAND ON HIS TKOUSmiS. An uncouth old rancher from the San Joaquin valley was making his weekly trip to Stockton tho other day, and chanced to be sitting with an Impertinent drummer In the smoking car. The old man helped himself to tho matches from the railroad box, and tried to strike one and then another. "You hae to scratch them on the box, uncle," romarked the drummor. "Oh, I gtess I kin strike a match," re plied the rancher, aB ho ripped one across a varnished panel of the car and broke off tho head. Tre drummer laughed at his failure, and gave him some Informa tion. "The only way to light those matches Is to strlko them on the box," said he. "Oh, I guess I kin scratch 'em most anywheres," nnd the oM man tried one on tho sole of his shoe, another on the arm of the seat, and still another on tho car floor, while tho drummer only laughed. "I tell vou they ate made so that they won't light unless you scratch them on tho box." "Bet you they will." "I'll bet Jl they won't." "Bet you J20 they will." "I'l take It." The wager was made, the old man took one of the matches, stood up, and, hitch ing his trousers up so as to mnke a smooth surface, over his broad thigh, gave tho match a deliberate scratch and It blazed up. Then he deliberately lighted his pipe and drew down tho stakes. The smart drummer does not know that the innocent old rancher pays his expenses every trip on that trick, as he has the side of a match box sowed in his trousers beneath tho tall of his long, shiny coat. San Francisco Post. GEN. SIIELUY'S RETORTS. General Shelby and his men were In Texas when tho news of the assassination of Lincoln reached them. Tho men were on review, and as tho intelligence flashed down the lino from man to man somo of them foolishly cheered. Shelby rebuked them, and sitting erect on Us horse, wilh his head bared and his hand raised on high, he said: "Boys, this is the heaviest blow yet dealt us. Lincoln's slaughter was the act of a madman." Once Shelby caught one of his troopers attempting to conceal tho carcass of a freshly killed hog from which the blood had run so that It was easily visible. "What you got there?" ho asked. "Been having my clothes washed," said tho soldier." You'd better get back to camp," said the general, "or your clothes will bleed to death." New York Tribune.
