AN INCREASE
IN THE FORCE
MORE MEN WERE AX WORK SATURDAY.
It Wno Estimated, However, That
Fully Ono-thlrd of the Entire Num
ber of Men Employed In tho Mines
In. This Region Is Still Idle ns n
Result of tho Christmas Holiday
Output Last Week Was Decreased
Forty Tor Cent. Scarcity Contin
ues. h-aturdny nav a small lnurcasa lit tho
number of men returning to work In
tho mines titter tho Christmas celebra
tions. 11 was estimated that fully one
third of the mlno-workers wore Idle.
To-d'iy, it is thought, there will be
practically a full force of men back at
work.
Haturtlny the Avondulo mine of tho
Bohtwnre, Lackawanna and AVestern
company was shut down owing to the
danger of water bursting through from
adjoining workings, and the Notting
ham nf. the Lehigh and AA'ilkcs-Unrro
company was closed because tho cage
caught lit the shnft and badly damaged
it.
As a result of Christmas Day the
output for last week was reduced forty
per cent, the operators say. Tho big
cities, particularly Now York and Phil
adelphia, are very much concerned
about tho supply for the coming week.
Tho Philadelphia North American had
this to say, yesterday:
"Following closely upon a storm that
greatly restricted the output of tho
mines and impeded transportation, the
cold snap' of tho past three days has
multiplied tho number of homes In
which there is actual need of fue.1. Long
lines of persons are daily besieging the
offices of tho coal dealers, and in many
sections lot tho city the supply is equal
to only a small fraction of the demand.
"Along the Heading lines the supply
is still sufficient to keep tho people
from want, though shipments to tho
yards have ben greatly reduced. But
on the lines of tho Ponsylvnnia rail
road the conditions are becoming more
critical dally. Only by an influx of
Lehigh A'allcy coal can tho distress be
relieved.
"The Heading company is making up
a number of largo coal trains which will
be shipped to Philadelphia to meet the
many urgent demands. Mining officers
say tho cold weather will retard opera
tions this week, and Now A'ork specula
tors are offering large prices for the
total tonnage of independent operators.
"Each day finds tliodemand for coal
for domestic and other uses more ur
gent, while the shortage Is more appar
ent. In tho southern, western and
northern sections of the city, off the
Heading lines, there is virtually a
coal famine. Dealers cannot begin to
suppy the demand. Offers of $0 and $10
a ton fall to bring out any coal. The
dealers book orders ns received, prom
ising only to send coal when and as
they may get it. This is poor comfort
to householders whoso cellars are bare
of coal and whose homes are freezing
cold."
Tho following appeared in yesterday's
New York Tribune:
Even Soft Coal Scarce.
"Soft coal in tho city Is no lower, and
much scarcer. Just how high the pres
ent price of $S.50 a ton may be seen by
comparing it with the contract price
of p.23, mado April last for soft coal
for tho postoffice. Soft coal, which or
dinarily sold for ?3 a ton on board, is
now selling for $7. There is so little In
the market that a further rise of $1
next week Is being considered as a pos
sibility. "Tho Chickerlng Social club, No. 37
Attorney street, of vwhich Max Davis is
president, appropriated money yester
day to buy thirty tons of anthracite for
distribution among the poor before
January 1. After trying in vain yester
day to find dealers who could promise
to deliver the coal within a week the
organization decided to appeal by let
ter to President Baer, of the Philadel
phia ami Heading railroad. A reply
from Mr. Baer is expected early this
week.
"The John C Ilackett Association,
No. Mr. AVest Thirty-eighth stn'-t, also
decided yesterday to distribute from
twenty-live to thirty tons of anthra
cite as a Now Year's present among the
poor of the AVest Side. The association
communicated with Burns Bros., yes
terday and the firm will try to deliver
the coal at a fair market price some day
this week.
"So far all tho anthracite procured
by the Manhattan Hallway company,
about three hundred tons a day, has
been necessary for the dummy en
gines. .n attempt will bo made to-duy
to heat the stations, which have been
without heat for several weeks."
General Conditions.
Concerning the general conditions of
thu anthracite coal trade, the Kngineer
ing and Mining Journal of Saturday
said:
"It is now pretty evident that coal
la to be in short supply for the greater
part of this winter. The mines are
gutting out more than normal tonnages,
but demand Is so widespread, since
most householders had little or no coal
on hand by November 1 that what
promises to be a fairly severe winter
will keep consumption close up to pro
duction. Consumers at points beyond
Capo Cod, In view of the high ocean
freights that are likely to prevail for
some tinio, us many coal carrying craft
liavo been lost in the past few weeks,
are likely to faro worse. Consumers
at New York harbor points and at Phil
adelphia, in spite of tho nonsense print
ed by newspapers that should know
better, aro receiving proportionately
their full share of tho output, If not
more.
The total output for November Is giv
en as 4,0S4,asi tons, compared with ),
C'J7,3'J tons In 11)01, There total for 11
mouths Is given ns 20,101,159 tons, coin
pared with 19,045,118 tons In 1901,
"In the Nortwcst nnthracito Is in de
mand, and tho supplies on tho docks at
the head of tho lakes aro diminishing
rapidly, In Chicago territory buyers aro
offering Inducements to secure prompt
delivery, and nt retail speculative coal
Is selling ns high as ?lDfr$lC. At whole
sale, considerable coal la changing
hands at $10, though most companies
aro supplying regular customers at the
normal price, Along tho lower Jakes
coal 3 wanted,
Prices in Boston.
"Tho retail demand ujong tho Atlan
tic seaboard eased up just a trifle for
a few days, but with colder weather
sales agents are having trouble. At
Boston retail prices are $9 for company
and 13 for speculative, with the supply
of botli kinds scanty, In spite of heavy
arrivals late last week. At Providence
public schools have closed on account

of ftlcl shortage. At Now York retail
prices range from JTGTST.fiO to $12, the
last named price being for coal pro
duced by Independent operators.'
Tho wholesale prlco shows correspon
ding variations. Speculative coal sells
at ?9$PX At Philadelphia soft coal Is
actually higher than anthracite. Hc
tall prices for anthracite are ?$C."rj0?9.
At Baltimore consumers have had llttlo
relief us yet, and there has been much
complaint there and some real distress.
This Is, however, due In largo part to
very poor arrivals of soft coal for local
use. Tho movement of coal at New
York harbor shipping ports lias suffered
from various causes, coal often being
frozen in the cars, making unloading
slow, hargo rates nro high, and berths
for unloading are hard to got. " The re
tall distribution of coal Is calling for
more carts and horses than are avail
able." RENOUNCED THE WORLD
Young; Women Received as Sisters
nnd Professed as Novices in Order
of the Immaculate Heart.
Two young women took the final
vows of Sisterhood and three others
were professed as novices in the Order
of the Immaculate Heart, at tho new
mother-house, Mt. St. Mary's semi
nary, Saturday morning. It was tho
first ceremony of this kind performed
at Mt. St. Mary's and the first time In
a quarter of a century for it to be per
formed in this city.
Tlie two Sisters who received the final
vows were Sister Mary Nepmuchene,
who, In tho world, was Miss Loretta
Cafferty, of Bethlehem, and Sister Mary
Ridempto, who was Miss Louise Poy,
of this city. The novices were Miss
Helen Smith, of this city, daughter of
Judge P. P. Smith, of the Superior
court, who becomes Sister Mary Aloy
sius; Miss Mary McMahon, of AVill
lamsport, who took tho name of Sister
Mary Jlmsina, and Miss Blanche Lavln,
of Pittston, whose name in religion, is
Sister Blary Natalie.
Tho ceremonies took place in the
seminary chapel and wore ronducted by
nt. Rev. Bishop Hobnu. He was as
sisted at the mass by rcry Rev. T. P.
Coffey, A'. G., of Carbondalo, and Rev.
John ,T. Griffin, of the cathedral. Other
priests in the sanctuary were: Rev. J.
A. O'Reilly, rector of the cathedral;
Rev. P. J. McManus and Rev. J. J.
Loftus, of St. Paul's, Green Ridge; Rev.
Dr. J. AV. Malono, of the cathedral;
Rev. J. Ar. Moylan and Rev. J. J.
Holmes, of Holy Rosary, North Scran
ton; Rev. .T. J. Jordan, of St. Lawrence,
Old Forge; Rev. James Gllloegly, of
AVilllamsport, and Rev. Father Quin
nan, of St. John's, Pittston.
Many Sisters of tho order from the
various convents, in and near Scranton,
and a large congregation of the friends
of tho candidates for Sisterhood, wit
nessed the ceremonies. Two llttlo daugh
ters of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Barrett acted
as sponsors for tho new Sisters.
A sermon was preached by Bishop
Iloban. Ho took for his theme the visit
of the three wise men of the East to
the crib of tho infant Jesus and com
pared their offerings of precious gifts
with the offerings of love made by
newly professed and received Sisters.
He also dwelt on the consolation that
should come to the relatives and friends
of those who were leaving the world
from a contemplation of the happy
state into which they were entering
and the fact that they would have some
one to pray for them, whose prayers
were especially pleasing in the sight of
God. The bishop concluded by giving ar
few words of encouragement nnd advice
to the new members of tho order.
MET A TRAGIC DEATH.
Drove Into a Deep Gully, Which Was
Hidden by Snow.
William James, a Peckvllle huckster,
met a tragic death at that place, Satur
day. AA'hile delivering goods to a customer
in the vicinity of G. J. Lilllbiidge's resi
dence, lilij horse wandered into a field.
In attempting to drive back to the
roadway, James turned the horse into
a deep gully, which was hidden from
his view by a snowdrift. Driver, horse,
wagon and contents were piled in a con
fused maBS at the bottom of tho gully.
How long tho accident occurred before
it was discovered is not known, but
when taken from beneath tho mass,
James was dying. Ho expired in a. few
minutes. Coroner Sultry will make an
investigation of tho case today.
Tho deceased leaves a. wife and three
children. Ho was tho oldest son of
Street Commissioner D. T. James, and
n brother of former Councilman n. T.

WORK OF THE ASSESSORS.
Valuation of New Buildings to Be
Begun This Week.
The city assessors have completed
tho making of the occupation assess
ment for iho fiscal year of 1903-04 and
will begin during the coming week the
valuation of the new buildings erected
since the last assessment was made.
The city was divided into districts by
the assessors early in the fall, four
wards being alloted to each, and sev
eral months have already been con
sumed in making an accurate list of
occupations and new improvements.
The blotters have been checked up

a body and put a value on these new
buildings. The total yield to the city
treasury from the occupation assess
ment, which it has required so much
