Alfred Oneiii, n tlrlrer, Meets Death nl
lackr Ko. 3 Colliery.
An accident which at first appeared to bo
surrounded by mysterious circumstances
rcsnlU'il In the death of Alfred Oweus, of
West Lloyd street, on Saturday afternoon, at
rackcr ro. 3 colliery. The Drat intimation
the olllcials and employes of tho colliery had
of the accidcut was when the mule, which
was In charge of tho deceased, who was
employed as a drivor, approached the bottom
of thuslopo unattended. As this was un
usual several of tho employes went into the
gangway to learn If tho driver had met with
an an Ident. They" found his dead body
lying between the rails of tho gangway. His
neck was broken. Tho body was removed to
tho family residenco.
Tho manner in which tho driver met his
death was n mystery to tho colliery clllcisls,
but a plausible theory was arrived at,
nanioly: that When tho deceased was on his
way out the gangway after delivering the
last trip of cars to tho miners, and whilo rid
ing on the mule's back, tho animal reared
and tossed the drivor against tho top of the
gangway with such force as to brcrfk his
nock. There was a wound upon tho forehead,
but this is attributed to tho fall to tho rails.
Deputy Coroner Cardln has impanelled n
Jury and will hold cn inquost to take testi
mony bearing upon tho clrcumstancos attend,
lng tho accident.
The victim was 25 years old and is sur
vived hy a wife and three children, aged re-
pectively threo years, two years and ten
weeks. Tho fuueial will tako place to-morrow.
Services will bo hold in tho Calvary
Baptist church at two o'clock, and Interment
will bo made in the Odd Follows' cemetery.
THE WORK STARTED.
Contractor lirltt Takes the Initial Steps on
the Street ravins
This morning Contractor William J. lirltt
started work on the paving of the two
squares on Main street, between Centre and
Coal streets. For the next week, or ten days,
his operations will be confined to the arrange
ment of tho curbs, after whith ho will start
the paving.
E. W. Ash, manager of tho Schuylkill
Traction Company, was in town to-day and
had a conference with members of the
Borough Council, Mr. Ash mido a proposi
tion that the borough pave tho track of the
company with brick and tho company will
surrender to tho borough the stono with
which the company's track is now paved.
The proposition will bo acted upon at the
next meeting of Council,
Testimonial to Mr. llrnwn.
On Saturday evening, last, tho resi
denco of A. D. Brown, of Lost Creek,
was the sceno of a brilliant affair.
Mr, Brown recently resigned his posi
tion as outsido foreman at Pucker No. 5
colliery. In appreciation of his integrity and
kindness to man and master, tho young and
old who laborer under his chargo con
tributed to present something in acknowl
edgement of their good feeling toward tho
retired gentleman. At 0 o'clock p. in. tho
purchasing committee ontored the Browu
dwelling with the prizo, a gold watch and
chain, purcbasod at Thomas Buchanan's, Shon
andouh, who was a contributor in a goodly
sum, voluntarily, James Whalen, of Lost
Creek, made tho presentation speech, which
was very much appreciated and applauded.
The gift was thankfully received. After
piano selections by Miss Brown and
several songs tho guests repaired to the din
ing room, where a sumptuous and bountiful
repast confronted them. All appeased their
appetites and, after a few more songs, all hied
away to their respective homes. We know
not Mr. Brown's Intentions, what futurities
ho expects, nor what position he aspires to,
but wo do know, where'er ho goes, most
men, retired from a position as ho held, can't
truthfully boast of what ho carries with
him tho good will and good words of every
person who had dealings with him. That
luck may attend him and his family, where
ovor they go, is the wish of tho following
gentleman and all they represent : Thomas

THE COAL TRADE.
The Mines Will Work In August on the
llanls of 3,ft00,000 Tons.
Tho condition of tho anthracite market In
July was not materially different from the
preceding mouth. The movement of coal at
tide points showed no increase, and several
interests took advantage of this to supply
their storage points in New England. In
anticipation of difficulty in filling tho de
mand during tho fall months. Western ship
ments have gone forward as rapidly as could
be, both by rail and lake, bnt In tho West tho
movement Into consumers' cellars has not
bcon rapid, owing partly to the higher price,
as compared with tho quotations of last
summer. Tho movement to lino points on
tho various railroads was of only modorato
proportions, whllo the shipments to Canada
nave been rather larger than last year.
as a coneqiioneo of the slowness of tho
market to tako coal, and tho Inability to
carry tho entire surplus West, thero are largo
accumulations at tho various stocking points.

trouble mid reduce stocks, the mines will
