SILK MANUFACTORY. — AII attempt is to lie
made to manufacture silks In New York or Its
vicinity OH a scale never yet attempted. The war
has paralyzed the silk business In France and
nothing can be done there for sometime. A French
Tian, which has an agency here, proposes to bring
sonte of its workmen to New York ana start a
factory•, where It will turn out gooda equal to those
which It imports. Thu cocoons and eggs will be
brought from Japan, and experiments will be
made immediately to see If the worms can be fed
on the allantais trees. A movement will be made
in Congress for higher duty on imported silks, so

COAL. M ATTERS. —A correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald, writing front Wilkesbarre, says:—
An Immense quantity .of coal Is being sent to
market now from this county, and It looks as if
another convulsion would ensue hi business be
tween this and whiter. The heavy operators are
Playing to raise the prices.
' We understand that the operators in the Lehigh
Region are also playing the same game to put up
the prices of coal. In the face of the average de
cline of 30 cents per ton In the Scranton sales last
week, the Lehigh Coal Board have since met and
agreed to advance prices for July. The public
were told over and again by the operators that If
they carried their point and all three of the min
ing regions were again at work everybody should
then have cheaper coal than ever. But what do
we see? No sooner are all these regions at work
than we lind the operators combining to not only
keep up but to advance the price of coal. If this
is not downright rascality we arc at a loss to char
acterize It. We call on the press generally to ex
pose this unblushing attempt at extortion. •

'THU NEBeIIIEHONING TUNNEL—The work
of boring through the spur pf Broad Mountain at
Summit 11111 In the construction of the Nesquelion
log Tunnel, Is rapidly nearing completion. This
enterprise was commenced by thp Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company, in March, 1870,,,and has
been steadily progressing up to the present time,
perfectly satisfactory to those intrer6ted. In the
beginning there was about four thousand feet to
he cut through, of which work all but about four
hundred anti forty feet has been accomplished—
the headings, nine by seventeen feet, being only
that distance apart and boring going on rapidly.
The enlargement of the tunnel is only nine hun
dred feet in the rear of the headings. The head
ings will meet, it is believed, about the first 01
et, and the completion of the enlargement
will be made about the first of March next. The
boring has been done by the Barleigh Rock Drill,
driven by compressed air, the IVhole of which ma
chinery has worked minify:tidy from the begins Mg.
Thu completion of this work will don way entirely
with the inclined plane of the Switch-Back Rail
road, and furnish the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company easy 'acCess to their coal by railroad.
The tunnel is about six miles beyond Tamaqua,
and Is worth going to see.
Pur ICArpA PSI SYM POSIIi M.—We learn
from the Lancaster papers that a grand Sympo
sium of the Eta Chapter of the Phi Kappa Psi
Fraternity, located at Frauldin and Marshall Col

night last. The occasion called together many
graduate members, among which were the foun
ders of the Chapter, and a number of representa
tives from neighboring Chapters. Several spuches
were made and a One poem read which abounded
in wit and humor, calling to mind the hallowed
recollections of the past and College thunder of
other days. After these exercises, the assembled
brotherhood partook of a sumptuous feast, coma
prising the richest of viands, Lancaster's hest, to
which they bore living testimony in a practical
and matter-of-fact way. Truly they ate and were
tilled ; they rejoiced and were glad—and adjourned
after several songs, written especially for the no
castm, by the Eta Glen Club. •
• This is an old Fraternity and was established
many years ago. It has earned for it , elf a wide

INDIXENDENci.: DA v..--The Glorious Fourth

to the Mayor the usually noisy Third was as quiet

of the invalid. The night was so orderly that our
citizens must have been surprised, on awakening.
that there was the Fourth staring them In the face.
The hour :o"whieh the ordinance forbidding the
di , charge of fire arms was suspended wakened up
Young America and order gave way to the noise
and racket of Independence Day.
At eight o'clock, the Excelsior Rifles, Allen
Zouaves and Allen Rifles formed on the Square
and made a parade through some of the principal
streets, proceeded by the Allen 'Gonave Drum
Corps, and elicited meets favorable commendation
for their soldierly hearing and perfection In the
drill. Upon returning to the Square the Allen
ZOIMITS proceeded to Slatington, and the Allen
Rifles went through the manual and evolutions,
and were highly praised for their tfliclency by the
bystanders. The Excelnlors also gave the people
a sample of " tactics" and showed the citizens
that theirs is a fleet-class organization. Allentown
has Just cause to be proud of her military oruaul
zations and we are sorry that little screw V, hick

The rain in Oa: evening wan a very• unwelcome

hem Times having had an article to the elftct that
Mr. Barney Butz was the oldest engineer In the
United States, a correspondent sends us the follow
lug correction. The writer of what follows has
been in thin country tautly years, and as will be
even is o ell acquainted with the people of by-gone
" I knew Barney Butz, and have known him
inany years. I rode with him in a locomotive
thirty.three years ago last April. Ile was not the
c‘igneer then, but the fireman. James Lewis was
the engineer and Is still alive. Barney lute was
lint a locomotive engineer for several years after
—late in 18 . 0 or in 18.10.
" Lewis I 1:. rtley was an engineer at that lime,
and is still alive, and has been and still Is con
oected with the locomotive. Ile Is in the employ
of the Reading Railroad.
"Abner lieuston was an engineer at that time, and
is still alive, and daily pulls the throttle-calve on
the Camden and Amboy road. Ile was the first
man ever drawn in this county as juror.
Fred. Rustily was a locomotive engineer before
Butz—is still alive and running on the Lehigh Val.
Icy road. In 15ti5 Mislay was a fireman on the
B.iaver Meadow Railroad. One day, us the train
was passing along in the neighborhood of Munch
(loud:, he saw a child in the canal In a drowning
condltisn—its mother in great anguish in conse
quence. Without a moment's thought he leaped
front the engine door into the canal, brought the
child out, deposited it in its mother's arms, jumped
up the railroad bank in time to catch the rear of
the train, which did not stop, but slacked-up.
" For deeds of less daring and humanity men
have been rewarded with fame that was world
wide. Fred. only thought lie did his simple duty,
and desired no reward for beyond his own con
science, that told hint that lie had done right.
•• Barney is a good fellow, and has done Ills duty

to take no laurel from his veteran brow, but merely
