Results ol an Inquiry the Re " tuil Coal Exchange. Since the recent recognanization of the Retail Coal Exchange of Phil adelphia a committee of Ave, con sisting of a member from the centre of the city and one from each of the four corner?, hare been quietly at work investigating the question of short weights, with such results, it is said, as will astonish not only the trade, but the public in general, if prosecutions are instituted under the new law, as now seems probable. At a meeting held in Mercantile Library Hall this committee reported some time ago that they had found cases where dealers were selling at short weight, but as the Exchange was not then incorporated it was not thought wise to take further steps, because they might possibly make themselves liable as individuals to a charge of conspiracy. Since the incorporation, however, the investigation has been pushed with energy and one of the promi nent members of the Exchange stat ed last night that no less than forty dealers had been discovered violat ing the law. "The proper weight of a ton of coal, as provided by the act of assembly passed by the last Leg islature," he said, "is 2240 pounds. The committee employed detectives, whose duty it was to see where the coal when sent out by a dealer was delivered and where it was placed. After it had been put into cellar or bin the coal waß guarded until the sworn weigher came on the scene and weighed it. "This accomplished, affidavits were made before either a Notary or a Magistrate, setting forth the re sults. In some instances there were two or three tests so that there would be no chance of a mistake. In one case there was a shortage of 340 pounds. The developments have been simply astounding. The evi dence is, I understand, very corns plcte, and the question of prosecut ing those who have failed to give the proper quantity to those pur chasing from them is to be disposed of at the next meeting of the Ex - change. The penalty provided by law is a fine of SSO for each offence." —Phila. Inquirer. Wool Men to Meet. Washington, Oct 7.—Judge Wil liam Lawrence of Bellefontaine, O , president of the National Wool Growers' Association; W. G. Mark ham and Secretary Avon, ot New York, have called a meeting of wool growers, wool dealers and sheep breeders to meet at the Ebbitt house Washington, D. C.. December 4, to urge Congress to incorporate wool tariff provisions on any revenue bill that may be passed. The people are coming to the Re publican party for aid. Rata Badly Needed. While there is much need of rain in this section, we are not nearly as badly off as the people of the central part of the State, where water is at a premium. No rain has fallen in some parts of the State for several weeks, and farmers are compelled to haul the fluid long distance* to quench the thirst of their stock. The barometer took a sudden drop yesterday, which is indicative of an approaching storm. Dirrul'i Lwl Attack*. San Frnncisco, Oct. 7—On the opening of the eleventh week of the Darrant trial to-morrow the defenso will make a final struggle to break down the testimony of the prosecu tion—a process which is expected to last three day* longer. A few more students will be called to Hie stand, several additional citisens will testify to Durrani's excellent reputation, nnd then the defendant lilmaelf will IKS called to the witness stand. It is the intention ol the defence to havo Durrani recount the history of bi«* adventures on April 8, from the time he accompanied lilanobe La> mont to school until the hour wben , be retired to rost in bis father's | b?u*e. ' Work on the new Catholic church at Bernipe is progressing at a rapid rate. The Lawrence Bros, have the contract of erecting this building and a good job can lie expected. Kemp the photographer, of Ben ton will open a branch gallery at Sonestown, next Thursday Oct. 17. Mr. Kemp does good work, and no doubt will receive a libera) patronage of the people in the valley. B. W. Jennings was elected mem ber of Sullivan county by 355 ma jority, last fall. The people's ticket of Sullivan county will receive about that majority, this fall. Vote with the winning side. It is doubtful if the oldest inhab itant ever saw the streams of. Sulli van county with less water in than at the present time. The writer has traveled up and down Muncy Creek for a number of years at different seasons, but never saw so little water in its bed. The contest for the Republican National Convention promises to be exceedingly close, with Pittsburg, Chicago and San Francisco as the leading competitors. All three of these cities are making strong bids for the big gathering, and the opin* ion is quite general that the Penn sylvania city is well in the lead. Pittsburg is the' birth place of the party, and it would be a desirved honor to have the convention held there. Chicago's only claim is bas ed on her central position and super ior facilities for accomodating such large gatherings, but Pittsburg is just as able to care for the conven tion. October is wonderful in its charms and faithful in beauty. No sunrise and sunset like those of October. There is the golden sheen over forest and field with rainbow colors on the hills and crimson on the mountains. The laccwork of autumn leaveß be comes a glowing archway to the pathways of the woods and the squir rels and chipmunks scamper and chatter about as chestnut burrs open and the hickory dropes umong the mosses. The russet and red of the orchards, the clowds that were never so fleecy nor sky never so blue, the buckwheat so suggestive of the com ing mornings and the golden rod and clematis and sumac by the road side. These are proclamations of Nature's change from blossoms and roses and harvests to the mysteries that have their seals in the frosts and in coverings of ice and snow. October is closing the door to sum mer and makes no secret about it. 1 Wilkes JBarre, Oct. 7.—Aboul 3:45 B o'clock this afternoon the residents ) ia the northern [tart of this city were J startled by a tremendous roar, fol • lowed by a rocking of the earth-, » which seemed at the time to have * come from beneath them. It was i but a few minutes later when many ■ of them knew what it meant. A I terrific explosion had occurred in the - Dorrance mine, and in less than a ' half hour four thousand people ' gathered around the head of the shaft, only to witness puffs of smoke mingled with dust and debris issu ing from the mouth of the shaft. Women and children were running j wildly in all directions, crying bitter ly, thinking that their lteloved ones , who had left their homes in the I morning to enter the mines were t either injured or killed, but nothing „ could be learned from the officials, ( who were very reticent and refused I to say anything. I When the .Irat carriage wag hoist ed it brought up a miner with bis blackened face and burning lamp. He was at once grasped by his loving wife and children, who were glad to know that he escaped death. From him it was learned that there were 1 only nine in the mine when the acci dent occurred. At 10 o'clock to night five men were brought out and four others were yet to lie reached. So far only one is known to have been injured. The others were burn ed and injured and were being speed ily removed to the city hospitals.

Tunkhanuock, Oct. 4.—Henry Harding, a prominent lawyer, who disappeared from this place early in March, 1894, came into town on a through express train last night. At the time of his mysterious dis appearance he started ostensibly for Philadelphia to attend tho depart ment encampment of the Grand Army, but he never arrived there, and dilligent search by his friends failed to locate him. Subsequently a package was found in his office vault, giving directions aa to the settlement of his estate, but throw ing no light on his disappearance. He left a devoted wife and son, a luxuroua home and a large legal practice. He was prominently men tioned as a candidate for President Judge of the 44th judicial district, and no cause for his extraordinary action could be assigned. From the day of his disappearance until last night not a word or sign was had from him. On his return to town he register ed at the Packer House and to-day dropped into his old office as nat« urally as if he had never been awaj-. He refuses to give any explanation of the matter for the present, but says he may talk later. Mansfield Normal Ncliool.
