SIX PER mm, INCREASE With the Increased Number of Working Day at tlio Mine, tho ltuto of Wngen to ho Paid Ih Further Incrc-wied Six Ter Cent. Tho Outlook Very llrlght. ORK la and around tho mines in this region during tho coming win tor will bo brighter than for many years, if tho present may bo taken as a critorion. As foreshadowed in those columns during tho past week, tho Philadelphia & Heading Coal & Iron Com pany on Saturday issued ordors for all col- lierios controlled by them to work six days a week on niuo hours time. Heretofore tho collieries havo until recently worked hut four days a week. Tho order increasing tho number of working days will not only bo gratifying news to tho miners, but to our business men as well, who havo suffered greatly from tho hard times prevalent during tho past six months. But tho dark clouds now appear to bavo cleared away, and tho outlook is considerable brighter for tho future. Tho order increasing tho working days at tho mines also effects a largo number of railroad men. Nearly all of tho crows at Cressona, Palo Alto, Tamaqua, Mahauoy riaue, Gordon and Shamokln wore tempor arily suspended during tho idleuoss of the collierios, but they have now been put at work again. Last week 8,753 cars wero sent to market, with a tonnago amounting to 201,303 tons. This was tho heaviest week for somo mouths, and tho present wcok will exceed that. Tho Reading Company is away behind in its output of hut year, and as thero aro only two months in which to inako it up, overy department will bo pushed to its utmost capacity. This fact, together with tho satisfactory condition of tho coal trade, will at least givo tho miners in this region six days a week for tho next two months, when tho fiscal year of tho company closes. Another brght lining to tho dark cloud that has been hovering over tho Schuylkill region is tho fact that tho rato of wages to bo paid for tho last half of September and tho first half of October is flvo per cent, nbovo tho basis, an incroaso of six per cent. Tho following collieries drawn to return prices of coal sold in September to determine tho rato of wages to ho paid mako tho fol lowing returns : West Shenandoah, P. & It. C. & I. Co. Preston No. 3 do do Bast do . do Monitor do do .2 00 9 Suffolk do do 2 68 1 Average .2 01-3 Tho rate of wages for last half of Septem ber and first half of October, 1893, is five (5) per cent, above tho $3.60 basis. The above increaso is duo entirely to tho fact that the product of the collierios which happened to be drawn at this time was almost entirely marketed on tho lino no coal of any account from tho collieries having been sent to tide, and is not due to any such Increase in tho average price recolvod forooal in the general market. Poor working time at the mines effects every branch of trade in this section, and when tho order is given for an increased number of working days or a higher rate of wages our merchants and others prepare for a revival of trade. Thero is ovory reason to believe that the fall trade will bo a brisk one. Livery stable keepers should always keep Arnica & Oil Liniment in tho stable, nothing liko it for horses. lm A BRUTAti ATTACK. Anthony WIIUkIiu Kxpcrlouco on h I.omily UlRhMay. Yesterday Anthony Wllkalus, residing on East Lloyd street, walked to Mahanoy City to vllt friends and remained with them until evening, when ho started to walk homo. Tho road betweon tho two towns Is a very lonoly ouo and somo places aro almost like deserts. When Wllkalus reached ouo of these places last night he was ovortakcu by a carriago containing four or flvo men, supposed to bo Lithuanians. Tho occupants jumped to tho road and without any provocation began a vicious attack upon tho lonely travolcr. Wllkalus says ho was beaten with "billies'1 and other woi'ipons and when ho finally foil in a heap, oxhausted, his assail ants ro-cntcrod tho carriago and drovo off. Wllkaltis remained where ho fell for somo timo, ho doos not know how long, as ho was partly unconscious most of tho timo. When ho regained sufficient strength ho succeeded in walking to his homo hero. Ho is confined to his bed and is under tho caro of a physician, although It is not thought his injuries aro of a daugorous character. Upon tho solicitation of tho Injured mau's brother, Justice Tootney and Constablo Giblin to-day undertook to trace tho mou who mado tho attack and have thus far succeeded in finding the owner of tho carriage.

America's D ly, which Is celebrated by tho patriotic organizations of this and adjoining countios on Labor Day, was to havo beon ob served at Schuylkill Haven this year, but through somo fault of tho organizations of that town no demonstration was held. For this reason tho Executive Commlttco hold a mcoting on Saturday evening in this town for tho purposo of making preliminary arrange ments looking to tho selection of a placo for 1891. The committee is at present composed of tho following officers: President, Georgo Omian, of Shainokiuj Vice President, W. A. Thorn, St. Clair; Socrotary, C. T. Straughn, Shenandoah, . Tho coramltteo has been in receipt of so many iuquirios rolativo to tho next placo of mcoting, it has finally decided to issuo an official circular culling for a convention at Mahanoy City. This convention will solcct a placo for holding tho convention and parado on America's Day in lSjJ Thoso circulars will soon bo Is mod, and each camp and council is expected to send ono delegate. Tumaqua is already working hard for tho honor of being named as the place for hold ing the demonstration, and ono or two other towns aro moving in the same direction. Fried oysters a specialty at McElhenuy's, 0-13-tf Wagered on l)eid Dog. The sporting fraternity is having a good laugh at tho expense of ono of our town butchers who takes an interest in fighting dogs. A few weeks ago this butcher and another man engaged in tho same business in town got iuto an argument over the respect! vo merits of tho dogs they owned, which culminated in oach man putting up ton dollars as a forfeit for a fight for $100 a sldo. Tho butcher who furnishes tho laugh had placed his dog under the caro of a Gilbcrton friend about a year boforo. A few days ago ho went to Gilberton to get tho dog and put it in training for tho proposed fight, but to his dismay was informed that his dog had been dead six months. Tho butcher avoids tho sporting fraternity now becauso ho is con stautly annoyed by querios as to why ho bet ten dollars on a dead dog. Havo you tried McElhenuy's fried oysters ? Thursday's Trip. On Thursday morning, next, Watkln Waters Post, No. 14G, Grand Army of the Republic, accompanied by many of our citizens, will go to Allentown to participate in tho parado and festivities attending tho annual Grand Army Day of Pennsylvania.

It was ono of tho poorest played games of the season and tho great number of spectators loft tho grounds very much dis appointed. Tho homo toam put up a contest of tho ragged-edgo order aud allowed victory to slip through its hands twice. Bauswino was a disappointment. At tho close of th o oxoellcut gamo ho pitched against tho Eutons on Friday ho declared that ho had only called about half his ability into play. Ho must havo lost most of it at Pottstownon Sa urday, for ho displayed very little of it in tho second gamo hero. It is truo that ho did not receivo good Bupport, but his caso no doubt comes in with others in tho old story that a pitcher cannot ho counted upon to pitch a good gamo every day. Thero is a general belief that had Setloy pitched the gamo tho remit would havo been different. Tho homo fielding was far from its usual standard aud Fulmcr demonstrated that he cannot play tho left field. Ho had three errors thero last Friday aud three in tho last game. Ho cannot cover ground as Martin can in that position aud Is not as good in judging Hies. Up to the fourth inning tho gamo was a pretty good ono, although Umpire Whaleu had aroused Indignation a few times by somo very shady decisions which affected botli sides. lie seemed to havo an "off day ' with tho homo talent. In tho fourth the visitors mado their first scoro, and principally on account of errors. McDonald took first base on a bad throw by Bauswino, but vj'hen Mills hit tho hall McDonald went out on Nyce's throw to third. Mills got to secoud on Frank Henry's muff aud went to third on Wright's hit. Wonte then brought Mills and Wright lu with a three -bagger, which was mado after Messltt missed a chanco to rctiro tho sldo on a foul fly. Iho homo team went tho visitors one better in tho fifth inning. Frank Henry was hit by a pitched ball aud took his bate, Mossitt followed with a hit, Fulmcr took his baso on balls and Ward brought tho throe men in on a throo-haso hit. Soon after tho cheering stopped Ward went out whllo trying to stoal homo by Wonto's throw to tho catcher. Tho score stood 3 to 2 in favor of the homo team but before tho inning ended tho visitors again took tho load. A wild pitch, two singles, a double aud three errors gavo thorn four runs and ran the score up to 0 to 3 in their favor. Thero were tiro strikes on Kraus, tho first man at the hat and he struck at tho wild pitch, but got to first beforo Messltt could recover tho ball, Hogrlevcr mado a hit, McDonald sent Kraus homo with a two-baggor, and an error oach by Ward, Ed. Henry and Martin, coupled with a final hit by Mills resulted in making three more runs. In tho sixth inning Bauswino got as far as third, on a baso on balls, a passed ball and a stolen base, but the sido was retired beforo he could score. Tho Eastons wero retired in short order. In Iho seventh inning there was a tug of war and tho bope that was raised in the breasts of tho homo people during the first half of tho inning went down with a crash in tho last half. Mossitt started out with a hit, Fulmcr aud Ward got'flrst baso on errors by Mills and Won to aud Messltt was forced home by Fox taking his base on balls. Ed. Henry brought Fulmer and Ward home, Nyco got to first when Henry was thrown out to second and afterwards stole second Bauswino brought Fox homo with a hit aud Martin brought Nyce homo with another. Bauswine went out on the catcher's throw to third and Frank Henry struck out, leaving Martin on first. When Easton wont to the bat in tho soventh inning tho score stood 8 to 6 in the home team's favor. Hogrlevcr made a hit, Mc Donald aud Betts took their bases on balls, Milt followed with a hit that brought Hogseiver aud McDonald homo and Betts aud Mills scored on hits by Wente and Kraus and an error by Fulmer, thus the scoro was again olianged in favor of the visitors. During the latter half of this inning thero were several cries for Setley, who was on the bench, as Bauswine was hit freoly after he succeeded in gotting the ball over the plate. The Eastons luado the eleventh run in tho eight inning purely on errors, llougelver got ills first and seooud base ou one by Fulmer aud when Ed. Honry missed the throw in the runner got around to tbo home plate. Tho scoro: SIllOcANDOAU. H. Fulmer, If 8 Wurd, U 1 Fox. lti 1 HTTUwy.lb 0 P. II corf, at Mmu, o...
