Anthony Flynn, nf Htime Wnll Paint, Figures Prominently, An Interesting law suit, wbLh originated nearly a quarter of a century ago, will likely result over u property on North White sluet. Tbo principal is Anthony A. Flynu, Sr., of Suuth Kmerich street, who figured very prominently in tho Stone Wall cno against the Borough two years ago. Tho facta of tlio case are as follows : Sotno thirty years ago Mr. Flynn, becamo one of Shenandoah's first settlers. Shortly after locating hero he purchased a plot of ground, 30x150 feet, at 111 and 113 Xortli White street. Tho purchase wasmado from tho Schat'fer estate. Ho erected two two- story frame dwellings on tho premises and the owner resided thero for a period of ten years. During his residence a SheritTs levy was made on tho property to satisfy an execu tion brought by fleorgo Jacoby, of town. Tho claim amounted to $40. Among the bidders at tho sale was Charles Higgins, who was thero in favor of Its owner, and who purchased tho property for $8S. Mr. Jacnhy'B bid, who issued tho execution, was $80. This took place In tlie year 1S77. After thesalotho matter was dropped until Mr. rlynn decided to remove to Wisconsin. Ills rmidenco tboro covored a period of two years, when he emigrated back to town. At tho time of his removal from town tho property was drawing a rental of $10 per month, which Mr. Higgins was authorized to collect until such time that it amounted to fS5 This amount was in payment of the money used topurclmse the property and for a debt duo Mr. Higgins. Tho deed for the property was placed in the bands of Mr. Higgins by Mr. Flynn for safety. Mr. WgElns continued to collect tho rents and upon his death tho rent was claimed by the Higglus' estate until a few days ago when Mr. I'lynn took possession of tho property and nailed tho doors and windows. This was dono by authority of Anthony A. Flynn, Jr., and bis counsel, George J. Wad. linger, of I'ottsville. The proporty Involved was transferred to tho son twenty-six years ago when he was but two years of ago. Last Tuesday Flynn, Sr., took a similar stand on the property as ho did on tho stone wall, by removing a load of furniture to the building and taking possession of tho property. He says ho is awaiting any un pleasaut complications that may arlso over landlord's rights as to tbo property and Is prepared to meet any emergencies that may occur. A long litigation will likely follow as to tbo ownership of the property. Kxcltlng Itunuwny. A horso hitched to a carriage containing two people and coming down Main street at breakneck speed was an exciting incident witnessed on that thoroughfare at about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The occupants of the carriage were Nicholas McCorniick, of town, and JIIss Cassidy, of Philadelphia, who is in this region enjoying a vacation among acquaintances. Tho runaway horso turned down Wost Centre street and when It reached a point opposite Dusto's barber shop tho vehicle was disabled by tbo breaking of a wheel. Nevertheless, tho horso continued at a mad pace and when Jardlu street was reached both occupants were thrown out. McCorniick, tho driver, escaped with but a few scratches about tho face, while his lady companion was rendered Iaiuo by tho full tier clothes were soiled and lior face was dla- flgnred by several cats and bruises.

Interesting Figures Compiled by the State Bureau of Mines. STATISTICS FOR SIXTH DISTRICT. Over 117,000,000 Tons Taken From Penn sylvania Collieries In 1898-Ntarly 62,000,000 Tons or Which Was Anthracite. The annual report of the llurmu of Mines of Pennsylvania, has just been received at this ollice, and shows that 5e,S0S,W0 not tons of anthracite coal wore produced in the stato last year and 01,947 086 tons of bituminous, making an aggregate of 117,050,'Jiil net tons, an increase as compared with that of tho previous year of 0,701,023 tons. In 1S07 Pennsylvania's output ofauthra- cito and bituminous coal represented more than 53 per cent, of the entire production of coal in the United States, and last year some thing was added to this percental). The production of the world in 1H97 was about 000,000,000 tons, of which the L'nite4 Slates supplied 133,000 000, making our production nearly one-third as inueh as lhat of tho rest of tho globe. The chief of the Km can of Mines says : "Coal has bccouio one of tho csscufial ele ments of modem civilization in fait, tho progress of tho civilization of a country is now recorded by tho amount of coal obtain able and employed by the inhabitants in a given timo. It is pleasing to note,' ho adds, "tho great increase in tho production for tho last decade and oncouraging to contemplate tbo possibility of a still greater production in tho future of Pennsylvania coal. Increased production necessitates deeper and more ex pensive mines, requiring bettor and more in telligent supervision than ever before, and this is one step in mining progress which, being neithor sudden nor conspicuous, es capes general notice, but which is fraught with Important results.' Tho number of persons employed in the anthracito miuos last year was 112,420, 7,137 less than tho previous year. In the bitumin ous mines thero were employed last year 87.S02 persons, an iucreaso of 1,310, During the year 2,232 accidents occurred, of which 809 were fatal. "Forty-ono per cent, of the fatal accidents are attributable to carelessness or violations of tho mine laws by tho victims," tho chief of tbo bureau states. Forty-three por cent, of the non-fatal accidents isch.trgcd to the same cause. In addition to the en forcement of the present mining laws, ho suggests that tho carrying of lucifer matches, playing with signals, riding on cars, with drawing lulssfiro charges, opening boxes of oxplosives in proximity to a lamp or pipe. and the shortening of fuse or its saturation with oil, should subject the guilty person to punishment, whether or not the act Is fol lowed by nu accident. Failure to pn.porly place timber should' also ho imnLtiiahlc. "Certainly," says the chief of the bureau of mines, tbo class of legislation proposed is no more of an invasion of private rights than was the original law an invasion of property rights." Ho finds fault because many of the mines are not managed as well as thoy ought to bo. This, ho says, is duo to an utter disregard of the laws and the lack of mining knowledge in those who own and superintend them, coupled with a penny- wise and pound-foolish system that invariably leads to bad development, with all its ac companying evils, insufficient ventilation. dirty roads, poor drainage, Inability to pro cure the greatest possible percentage of coal. and failure to furnish at the proper time sutHcient supplies for use in tho mines, to whlcn.tho cause of many accidents may bo attributed. The mine boss and the superin tendent, says the chief of the bureau of mines, should be held responsible for the detection and punishment of mine violations. The only counties producing antbrac'te coal are Luzerne, Schuylkill, Lackawanna, Carbon, Columbia, Dauphin, Northumber land, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Wayne. Luzerne, Schuylkill and Lackawanna supply about five-sixths of tho output. Bituminous is produced In Allegheny, Armstrong, Beayor, Bedford, Blair, Butler, Cambria,' Centre, Clarion, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Fayette, Huntington, Indiana, Jellerson, Lawrence, Lycoming, McKean, Mercer, Somerset, Tioga, Washington and Westmoreland. Fayette supplied last year 13,090,750, Westmoreland 11,475,801, Allegheny 0,070,101, Jefferson 0,016,980. Cambria 0,564,959, Clearfield 4,885.- 780 and Washington 4,681,180 of tho 01,247,- vsa tons produced tn tho entire bituminous region. The annual report of the bureau of mines says that since tbo Welsh coal strike Penn sylvanla has gained a foothold In foreign markets, which will never be lost if the de mand can bo supplied when wanted. "Tbo prosperity in the coal trade, judging from the production, applies wholly to bituminous coal. The market for anthracite coal lias apparently reached its limit. When it is considered that 143.4 was the average number of days tho mines tn the anthracite region worked it can readily be seen that thero are more mines in operation and more men em' ployed than are needed to supply the demand for anthracite coal," The average number of days worked in tbo bituminous mines was 203J. Mine Inspector Stein, of this district, in his report to the state department furnishes soma valuable Information. His report shows a gratifying decrease of nineteen fatal and one non-fatal accident during tbo year, as com pared with 1807. It also shows a decrease in the number of employes to be 698, and an in. crease in the production of coal of 33,225 tons. and a decreaso in tbo railroad shipments of 18,179 tons of coal. Tbo total number of per sons employed in Inspector Stein's district is 20,159, and of this number 11,271 are employed inside. The total numbor of fatal accidents 54, and of this number 25 were Polish and 10 Irish, tho Americans, Welsh and Germans had 3 each. There were 72 non-fatal acci dentsPolish 27, Americans 10, Irish 10, Italians 5, Welsh and Hungarian 4 each, Eng lish and Germans, 3 each. The total production of coal In the Sixth district last year was 0,513,155. tons; used for steam anu heat purposes, 815,350 tons) sold to local trado and employes, U0,29u tons; shipped by railroad, B,oo7,!ou, produced from wash eiles, 147,618 tons The total production of coal In 1807 was 0 475,930. Tbo average number of days worked in this district last year was 155. There are S3 widows and 60 fatherless children as a result of tho fatal accidents during the year, A dold Medal Artist.

The object of the t..iven uent is to discover who com municated it to Tho Eclair. Tlio as sumption Is that the communication was made by Colonel Du l'aty do Clam, or possibly by General Gonse. Tho publication occurred threo years ago, but under the law prosecution can bo maintained at nny timo during tbo fol lowing flvo years.

It is rumored that tho government has also decided to arrest General Mercler, but tbo rumor is not con firmed. Saturday evening a report was in circulation that General Mercier had lied to the Island of Jersey, but this story proved to be without foundation. Yesterday the gendarmes wore still posted outside the residence of General St. Germain, military commander of this district, with whom General Mer cier has been staying during tho trial. Their presence indicated that he was still there, and In reply to questions they declared that they had not seen him leave the grounds.
