Mr. Prytherch Introduces his report with a summary of statistics, In part, ns follows: The total production of coal for the year was 5,985,630 tons, the total ship ments 5,45fl,53C tons. The difference between the two quantities was partly consumed at .the mines for generating Bteam and partly sold at the mines for local consumption. There are C09 steam boilers in use in the district which are regularly Inspect ed and reported according to law. uunng me year n,55i persons were employed underground and 5,027 on tho surface a total of 16,078 which is in excess of the number employed during 1896. There nre 2,122 hor.seu nnd mules used In tho mines and around the breakers. Of powder, 5,442.325 pounds and dyna mite 83,463 pounds were used during the year. Thee were DS fatal accidents, leaving 27 widows and 123 orphans nnd 149 non-fatal nccldents. Two mine fires occurred during the year, resulting in the loss of 11 lives. A detailed account of each will be found In Table IV. Partly on account of these the list of fatal accidents is higher than for 1896, and the number of tons of coal produced per life lost nnd per nccident is lower. Tho usual tables and statistics nre included together with a description of each accident, also a few general re marks. PRODUCTION OF COAL.

UNION Held In (be Plrsl Welsh Baptist Church of West Scranton. ATTENDANCE WAS VERY LARQB Two Sessions Wero Held, Ono In tho Aitornoon nnd tho Other In tho Evenlng-At Iloth Highly Interest. Ing Programmes Were Cnrrlod Out. Addresses Hearing Upon tho Work ol tho Union Wero Dollvctnd.-Oin-ccrs oftho Organization. Delegates representing the different societies which unitedly comprise tho Hnptlst Young People's Union of Northeastern Pennsylvania, met at tho First Welsh Baptist church, South Main avenue, yesterday nfternoon nnd evening. This session is styled tho "mld-wlnter rnlly" and is always pro vocattve of much enthusiasm. Its pur pose is to sustain the spirit of the work between tho two regular sessions of each year occurring In tho spring and fall. The membership of the union is near ly 1,600 and nearly every society was represented. Both sessions were large ly attended, the seating capacity of the church being taxed. The platform was festooned with yellow and purple bunting, the union colors. In tho centre hung n lnrgo card on which were the wordB welcome. The delegates were here as the guests of the society ot the First Welsh Bap tist church nnd were received bythem and entertained while here. At 2.30 o'clock the assemblage was called to order for the afternoon session by Wil liam Roberts, of Wllkes-Barre, first vice-president, acting ns chairman. A passage of Scripture was read by John M. Edwards, president of the enter tulnlng society. The invocation was offered by Rev. W. F. Davles, pastor of the Wayne Avenue Baptist church. The members of the Junior society sung a hymn. The only actual busi ness of the union was then called, be ing the reports of delegates. This Is always very interesting, as each dele gate can gather points from the ex perience of others along similar lines. As a rule these reports often bring out things which can be taken up for dis cussion and later for action at the regular business meetings of the union. At the conclusion of these reports and their consequent discussion, another song was sung. INTERESTING PROGRAMME. A musical and literary programme wus carried out, Interspersed with ad dresses by different members, which were open, for discussion. Recitations were given by the Misses M. A. My rlck, of Olyphant; Aijna Reese, North Scranton, and Olwen Jones, of Nantl coke. William Hughes rendered a solo in pleasing voice. Several selections were sung in chorus. The subject "What Interest Should Our Younff People Take In the Edu cational Society ot Our Denomination?" was competently handled by David Phillips, of Plymouth, in an address. Further remarks upon it were made by Rev. W. F. Davles, of North Scran ton, and Prof. James R. Hughes, of West Scranton. So many thoughts and suggestions were drawn out that future action upon the idea will be taken. The other address of the afternoon upon "The Interest That Should Be Taken by Our Union in Missions," was made by William Priest, of Olyphant. His remarks indicated a careful sum ming up and though the time did not admit of any. general discussion, great interest was displayed by the assem bled delegates. The afternoon session was brought to a close by the pro nouncing of the benediction by Rev. D. T. Edwards, of South Wllkes-Barre. From 5.30 until 6.30 o'clock supper was served In the lecture room of the church for the visiting delegates and members. Tho menu was an excel lent one and was provided by tho local society. The intervening time was passed in social greetings. EVENING SESSION. At 7 o'clock the evening session wns opened by President Professor James It. Hughes. The song service was conducted by Professor Thomas Wil liams, of Pittston. The reading of the Scriptures and invocation were given by Rev. Michael Jones, of New Jer sey. The evening was devoted to list ening to addresses, Interspersed with solos by James Frieze, of North Scran ton, and Professor Thomas Williams, of Pittston. Tho Anthracite Glee club rendered several of their entertaining selections and the Juniors sang. The addresses were given by Rev. II. II. Harris, D. D pastor ot the Taylor Baptist church, and Rev.
