CLAY PIPeTcLUB.
Members Object to the Transfer of

printed thereon.
The Invitations are yearly distribut
ed among the councllmen and other

Individuals whose business biings them
In frequent contact with the cltv en
gineer's department. This department
and some of Its former emnlojes arc
really the "Clay Pipe club."
As each Invitation Issued Is accom
panied by n free railroad ticket, there
seems to be nmple reason that the

COAL OUTPUT LAST YEAR
Increase in .897 Was All in the Bi
tuminous Product Cause of
Tailing Off in Anthracite.
Tho advance copy of tne report of tho
geological survey, showing the output
of coal In the United States during
18D7, Is out. It shows that all of the
Increase In production last ear was
in the output of bituminous coal. In
tact the production of bituminous coal
has shown an Increase In each year
since 1S94. and, had It not been for a
falling off of over 3,000,000 long tons
In the production of nnthraclte coal In
1896, tho output In that year would
have exceeded that of the preceding
one. The bituminous coal product In
1S96 was 2.522.0S3 short tons more than
In 1S95, but this gain was more than
wiped out by the decrease In the pro
duction of anthracite. The production
of bituminous coal In 1S97 was 10,148,
626 short tons more thnn in 1896 and
12.671,709 short tons more than in 1895.
The production of anthracite coal
showed a decrease of 1,914,319 shoit
tons as compared with 1896 and of 5.
567,574 short tons as compared with
the production of 1893.
It was observed that while the total
product In 1897 was 8.235,308 short tons
more than In 1S96, the value increased
only $.1,229,011. and that the general
nverage prices, declined from $1.02 per
short ton In 1895 to 99 cents In 1S97.
Furthermore It Is seen that while the
Increase In output In 1897 was confined
to the production of bituminous coal,
the decrease in price Is also limited to
the bituminous product The product
of Pennsylvania anthracite In 1897 was
46,814,074 long tons, or 52,531,563 short
tons, valued at $79,129,126, against 48,
523,287 long tons, or 54.345.0S7 short tons,
valued at $81,748,6!il, In 1896, nnd 51,
785,122 long tons, or 57,999,336 short tons,
valued at $82,019,972, In 1893. Compared
with 1896 the production of anthracite
coal in 1897, shows a decrease of 1,709,
213 long tons, or 1,914,319 short tons.
The minimum yearly product of an
thracite coal was reached In 1S95, com
pared with which the output In 1897
shows a loss of 4,971,048 long tons, or
5,567,574 short tons.
In fact the amount of anthracite coal
ml.ied in 1897 was tho smallest in six
eirs, with the exception of 1894. when,
before the panic the production fell
off to 46,358,144 long tons, about 4W,
000 long tons loss than the output of
IS'17, This Increase of over 5,000,000
tons In tho production of 1895 Indi
cates that the Industry has recovered
from the efiects of the financial panic,
an J other causes must be looked for
to account for the decrease In the pro
duct In the next two years Mr. Wil
liam Yl. Ru'ey, In his conrlbution on
the production of Pennsylvania anth
racite dtps two reasons which have
been assigned for the decrease in an
thracite consumption. The first of these
Is the Increase In the use of bituminous
coal In competition with the smaller
sizes of anthracite for steam raising;
the second is the Increased consump
tion of gas for cooking and other do
mestic put poses,
To these must be added another fac
torthe detrease In the production of
anthracite pig Iron. The output of an
thracite pig Iron Ir 1SC7 was more than
200,000 long tons less than that of 1890.
While tho production of pig Iron made
from bituminous coal and coke In
ci eased nearly 1,300,000 long tons. Thf
decrease In the output of anthracite
pig Iron was dhectly responsible for a
decrease of 160 000 long tons In the
consumption of antluaclte coal, based
on an average of 2,500 pounds of coal
to one ton of pig to anthracite alone,
or of about 1.675 pounds when mixed
with coke. The Increase of 1,300,000
long tons In the production or pig lion
fiom bituminous coal and coke was dl
tectly responsible for about 2,200,000
short Ions of tho Increase In the pro
duct cf bituminous coal based on an
average of lVs tons of coal to a, ton of
pig.

Patient Received in That Condition
at the Lackawanna Hospital.
William Hill, of 223 Railroad avenue,
was received at the Lackawanna hos
pital last evening with his right leg
below the knee In a gangrenous Con
dition. He was hurt last Friday by a
block falling on his instep, causing a
wound that festered.
It would not be a surprise to the doc
tors If amputation be necessary at the
knee Joint. Hill Is a middle-aged man,
married, and was employed with the
wreck train crew on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western.

where he was incarcerated for drunk
enness. He says he suffered a sun
stroke In Philadelphia a few dajs ago
and has not vet recoveied fiom the

VOLUNTEERS OF HAVANA.
How They Were Won with a Focket-
Handkerchief Promise.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
In 186S, when the i evolution ot ten
years In Cuba began, no 'volunteers
existed In Havana woithy of being
(ailed such. There was only one old
leglment, and when Governor General
Leisundl, then of the Island, tried to
complete this icslment he found the
task difficult of accomplishment on ac
count of the prevailing unwillingness
to enlist. But Just at this time, most
piovldentlally for the relief of his di
lemma, some unknown hands covered
the walls of Matanzas near Havana,
with huge posters promising each
Spaniard his passage home and tho
privilege of carrying away with him
whatever his pocket handkerchief
could contain In the event of his en
listment. The effect of this stimulus to the flag
glng pulse of the public was electrical,
and the enrollment of 50,000 men fol
lowed within forty-eight hours. The
volunteers thus came Into existence
with their chiefs In the majority. But
the ruined merchants of tho city of
Havana soon found out and objected
to the newly risen power. This op
position Increased upon the arrival In
Cuba of the new" governor general,
Dulcc, who came In 1S69 ns representa
tive of the i evolutionary government
In Spain. He was a man of good faith,
empoweicd by the government to giant
Cuba all the reform she coveted and
that has lately been offered. He would
undoubtedly have put a term to the
revolution, averting all the ruin and
devastation which followed. But such
an easy and magnanimous course did
not suit that class which faced In
evitable financial tuln as a consequenie
of bueh a policy.
