SECOND DISTRICT.
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

Concerning the discontinuance of
mining operations the report reads:
"Dining the year mining operations
have been discontinued nt one shaft
only In this district, the Delaware nnd
Hudson company's Von Storch shaft.
At this shaft the Clark vein was being
worked, but owing to threatening dan
ger from a squeeze It was mutually
agreed between the mine Inspector and
the company officials that it be unsafe
to continue the operations.
The Von Storch shaft will in the future
as In the past be used as the second
opening to the Von Storch slope work
ings and as a pumping station."

MID-WINTER RALLY
OF B. Y. P. 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.

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

selections and the Juniors sang. The
addresses were given by Rev. II. II.

Baptist church, and Rev. Joseph K.

tist church. Dr. Harris only spoke a
few moments and his remarks were of
a general nature.

Just as much in a Lamp
Chimney as In a man. An even

betray poor construction by
suddenly flying to pieces.
But other things tell besides
temper good materials, clear
glass, careful polishing, scien
tific and symmetrical shaping,
go towards making tho perfect
chimney.
Ask US about It.
