A NOVBL GO A. Li BILL INTRO DUOBJD AT HARRISBURG. A MINIMUM PRICE OF $5 PER ION If the Bill Baoornes a Law Mlno Corporations and Dealers in Ohor States Will be Obliged to llavo Lions. N Important hill liaa been Introduced in tho Legislature at Harris burg by Captain llroitd' j head, of Wllkes-lhrre. Tho purpose of the Ct idrwfWf bm u tH l,ro,eut 11,0 S-ff l' J vtl Rlltl,ra;ite "lop"!'" of. !27rl! JrV A this statu and incident-1 ally to show tho law ' makers of Now York how far wido of tho mark their understanding of tho coal trado is. I Tho preamble of the bill sets forth that the antlmiclto coal bed of tho world, comprising an area of only 470 square miles, is wholly contained within tho Stalo of Pennsylvania. That all tho coal lands of tho Wyoming regions, supplying CO per centum of tliu totnl output, are now developed and aro being mined, and thero aro practically no undevel oped coal lands in tho Lehigh, Mhamokiu and Jit. Carmol regions; and at tho present rato of mining, collieries iu the Wyoming region, now producing 5,000,000 tons of coal yearly, will bo exhausted within flvo years. Tho bill further sots forth that tho cost of coal in tho ground hasadvnuced from 10 to 50 cents per ton and tho cost of mining coal has and will Increase cacli year until ils exhaus tion, from tho dilliculty of mining lower, thinner and impurcr veins. That neighbor iug states havo attempted to rcgulato tho tho salo of uuthracito coal, within their holders, and to fix a prico therfuro loss than tho price at which it is eold within said states, which Is furnished to tho producer by diviuo providence frco of all cost, oxcopt that of harvesting, storing and delivering. And, further, that it is necessary for tho produc tion of tho material interests of tho Com wealth, that tho present production of an thracite coal bo regulated so as to provont further waste, and to provide un adequate return to tho citizens of tho Commonwealth. Tho bill then provides for the following enactments : That from and after July 1st, 1SD3, it shall ho unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, joint stock company, or limited paitnorship association, to engago in the business of mining and selling anthracite coal except a license thoreforo shall have been previously obtained as hereinafter provided. That licenses shall be granted only to citizen of tho Commonwealth ol Pennsylvania, or to flims, tho individual members comprising which aro all citizens of tho Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or to joint stock companies, limited partnerships or corporations, organized, chartered or iucor poratcd under tho lawsof tho Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and having their places of business within tho Commonwealth. Also, that liienses shall be granted upon a petition and bond and shall entitle tho holdor or holders thcreot to engage in tho busine:S ol mining and selling uuthracito coal for the term nnd period of ono year from the date of the ifsuauco thereof. The hill makes tho additional provisions that from and after July 1st, 1893, it shall be unlawful for any licensed miner or vender of anthracite coil to sell any uuthracito coal to any person or persons, natural rr artificial, for transportation or uso outside the Stato of Pennsylvania, for any less sum or -prico than $3 per ton of 2,210 pounds, delivered at the borders of tho stato. That it shall bo un lawful for any transportation compauy or common carrier to movo, take or transport anthracite coal, except that mined by a licensed miner and seller of anthracite coal, and all transportation companies or common carriers shall, before receiving any anthra cite coal in their cars, bo.its or other vehicles, or on their tracks or canals, require tho said miner and shipper to exhibit tho licenso re quired. Provided, however, that if the slid minor shall file with the transportation company or common carrier, a certificate from tho secretary of tho commonwealth that a license has been granted, the transportation company or common carrier may receive coal from such miner without tho production of tho original licenso. Tho penalties provided for violation of the law aro a fine of not less than $10,000 fur tho first offense and not less than Ja),000 fur the sooond.

They say that they expected tho competition would be brisk for tho first four or five weeks, but after that timo they ex pected to see the inleiost lag and remain dormant until the last month or six weeks. As a matter of fact tho contest is moro brisk now and has been the past two weeks than it was at any time during the first mouth and tho indications aro that it will bojust as lively tho next two weeks. Tho successor tho venture has certainly been remarkable and far exceeds at this dato tho most sanguine expectations of tho management. It was this that led to tho ofleriug ot i.Ura induce ments to the contestants. As will ho seen by reference to tho abovo table tho contest between Misses Usiird and Wasley is becoming quito closo, but tho former still holds tho lead by over 300 votes. Miss Stein is also making rapid progress and will probably be abovo tho 20,000-nmrk with tho two leaders by to-morrow night.

President Cleveland denies driwing a line In that direction. There is going to be some interesting times among tho Democrats ot town before tho county convention meets. Mrs. Samuel Davis, Mrs. Charles Hoflinan and Mrs. Thomas left town this morning to spend the day at Pottsvillo visiting friends. After awhilo it will turn out that tho Democratic President is no bettor than any body else. All tho declaration of good intentions will turn out to bo nothing but buncombe. STREET PAVING. The Contractors Have Fixed Date for it Start. Lowis and Thomas Grant, who havo been awarded the street paving contracts by tho Borough Council, spent some time yestorday looking over the squares to bo paved ami discussing tho preliminaries. It is stated that tho paving will start on Monday, April 3d, and the machinery and material will probably arrive here next week. The date fixed is, of course, subject to postponement should there boa change iu the weather that will tend to keep the frost in tho ground, but it is thought thoro Is littlo danger of delay from that source. ' The property ownors on the Main stret square between Centre and Lloyd streets are again taking an active interest in the paving quostioc and it is quito likely that they will petition Council to also have that square paved. They claim that if a contract is givou for that portion tho contractors will cut the street down to grade on the satno terms provided for iu tho contracts already made. Should the borough undertake to out tho street down to grade tho cost will bo almost a much as the pro ruUi share for paving. Hand Hurt.

Mrs. Breon'a Application for the License is Objected to on the Ground That Summa Has Not Consented to It. IIK License Court still has a few cases hanging upon its hands for dis- posal and one of them is the license which was held by Paul Sum- j ma. Tho matter comes up again on an npplica-1 tion to havo tho license ' . r VlJi i-irVF transferred from gumma's namo to thnt of1 pTinclpala was quito prominent at ono time Mrs. Iiroen, tho owner of tho property, and it as a sprinter; tho other has galuod a reputtt led to quite a discussion before tho court at tiou as a pigeen shooter, and tho third, tho Pottsvillo yesterday. I referee, has figured quite prominently ill M. M. llu ike, 13?q., presented tho petition fur Mrs. Brccn. With it was an nllldavit by J. J. Franey, tho agent for tho property, which is located on tho southwest corner of Main and Poplar streets, setting forth tho usual formal facts in addition to a statement that Paul Summa has disappeared, his whereabouts aro unknown, and that tho plaeo aa conducted under his licenso was sold out under landlord's proceedings. J. H. Pomeroy and T. IS. Beddall, Esqs., appeared and remoustra'pd against the transfer. They raised the point that tho consent of Paul Summa would bo necessary to ellect a transfer and added that Mrs. Brccn, tho owner of tho premises, was tnak- ing nu application for tho licenso with tho intention of transferring it to Michael Pribula, now a resident of tho Firjt ward, and who was refused a licenso at tho January term of court. The point was also raised that tlio court cannot grant a new licenso at this late date. Mrs. Ilrccn's counsel said in reply that a new licenso was not asked for and in support of his application for a transfer without tho consent of Paul Suinnii ho stated that all ellorts to find tho man had failed. Mr. Burko also stated that at the proper timo ho would produce two decisions made by tho Luzerno county courts, where it was held that tho consent of a license holder is not absolutoly necessary to effect a transfer. After listening to several statements on these several points tho court docided to put tho caso on the calendar for argument next Monday morning, and a red hot argument it promises to be, as tho partios on botli sides seem dotormincd to exhaust every advantage tho law allows for and against tho transfer. Tho point on tho absonco of Summa's consent i3 tho first raised in the licenso court of this county and tho result will ho awaited with much interest. It has always been considered hero that tho couseut of a holder of a license was essential to a transfer.

"Say, young man," oxclaiinod ono of our townsmen to a HEn.u,l reporter yesterday, "you remember tho story I told you a short timo ago about tho servant girl boiling a sponge and tendering it to her mistress on a plato with a knlfo and fork?" "Yes, I wrote It up for tho IIekald aud some of the readers said it was the toughost thing thoy had seen for some timo," "What, tho spongo?" "No, tho yam," answered tho reporter. " Well, I tell you, young man, that story was true," continued tho townsman ; "and I havo another that arises from tlio snmn placo. Tho other day the mistress said to tlio servant," "Go up to Mr. 'sroom aud sweep." Tho servant and a broom disappeared to tho upper part of tho house. Seconds passed into minutes, and tho miuutos accumulated until over an hour had passed, huttheservant did not return to tho lower part of tho house. Tho mistress became Impatient and went up stairs to learn what laborious task was monopolizing the servant's timo. Imapinoher surprise when she found tho girl sound asleep iu Mr. 's bed.
