Struck nn Opening.
While sinking a subterranean slope at
No. 1 Highland yesterday, the men em
ployed thereat were somewhatsurprised
on returning to the face of the work af
ter firing a shot to find an opening in the
coal, and upon further investigation it
was found to be the gangway of No. 2
Drifton, which is supposed to be driven
past the boundry line.
The completion of this slope and the
one on the eastern dip of No. 1 High
land, together with the new plane, gives
High and a new lease of life, an I the
indications are that more steadier work
will result from these openings.

A New Miner*' Organization.
A now labor union called the "Work
inginen's Benevolent and Protective As
sociation" was formed at Pottsville on
Saturday. Forty-one delegates, repre
senting the entire anthracite region, met
and adopted resolutions declaring that
the deplorable condition of the miners of
the region is largely due to the unor
ganized condition of the masses, and
that the various organizations in exist
ence would better protect and advance
the common iuterests of all if consoli
dated into one. The resolutions favor
the eight hour movement and arbitra
tion. The new order is intended to take
the place of the old Miners and Laborers'
Amalgamated Association and the
Knights of Labor. It is believed by the
projectors and organizers of the new as
sociation that it will be a success. They !
will strive for a perfect organization, and
to do so will agitate and work for a com
plete unity of forces throughout the en
tire region. Another meeting will be
held April 3.
Observance of Holy Week.
The following circular has been sent'
out by Bishop O'JJara, of Seranton, to
clergymen of the Catholic Church; the
contents of which will be read in every ,
church in the diocese on Sunday next: j
REV. DEAK SIR:— In our circular dated |
February 25, and addressed to you, you
were informed that we were authorized
by the Holy Father to dispense the j
faithful of our charge from the observ-1
ance of Lent, both as to the fast and ab
stinence. The closing week of Lent is
now at hand, a holy week, which should
be devoted in a special manner to re
flections 011 the passion and death of
Christ. We therefore revoke our dispen
sation of Feburary 25 and enjoin on the
faithful of our diocese the observance of
Holy Week in accordance with the pub
lished "Rules for the observance of Lent
in the Diocese of Seranton."

Failing to Do Their Duty.
It is just a little more than a year ago
that the complaint of Coxe Bros. & Co.
against the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany was argued before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, but not a word
has been heard from that body as to its
decision. The commission has investi
gated a number of transportation ques- 1
tions 111 the intervening twelve months
and has even stirred up a great deal of
new work fur itself, hut it has been un
able to find time to decide the most im
portant single complaint that has been i
nrought before it. This is a dereliction of
duty that is a gross injustice to one of
the parties to the suit. If Coxe Bros.'
complaint is just they should be so noti- j
tied; if it is unjust the Lehigh Valley
Railroad officials should he so informed,,
that they may arrange their business ac
cordingly.
The only result in Mr. Coxe's agitation
is a reduction of 20 cents a ton in the
freight rates 011 the so-called unprepared
sizes, although all coal men know there !
is just as much preparation about pea
coal as there is about stove and chest
nut. The reduction of 20 cents has not I
been enough to check the inroads that.
bituminous coal is making in the fuel
market. Through the short-sighted
policy of the carrying companies the
consumption of the steam-making sizes
of anthracite coal is decreasing year by
year. Nothing but decisive measures
will now answer. Instead of exacting
$1.40 a ton for hauling pea coal, the tolls
should be put down to $1 or 80 cents if
necessary. Any rate that more than
pays expenses is better than losing the
traffic altogether.
The l'lnce to Get Your Clothing.
I. Reiforwieh, the clothing merchant
I and gents' furnisher, is at No. 37, Centre i
: street, Freeland, with a stock of goods,
' that for quality, cannot he surpassed in

j workmen at short notice and at the low

Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade does not i
display increased activity in any partieu-1
lar. The demand for the domestic sizes '
docs not improve materially, but the fur- ■
nace and steam sizes continue in good re
quest and the consumption of them is
fully equal to the supply. The output of
anthracite for February, according to the
official figures of the Chief of Bureau of
Statistics, John 11. Jones, fell over a quar
ter of a million tons behind the produc
tion for the corresponding period of last
year, and it was also nearly 150,000 tons
less than the previously estimated ton
nage for t hat month. The decreased pro
duction last month was well distributed
between the Wyoming, Lehigh and
Schuylkill regions, indicating that all of
the larger mining and carrying corpora
; tions are working in close harmony for
; mutual benefit, and we are informed that
this policy will most likely be continued
| throughout the year. The general sales
I agents of the anthracite producing inter
j csts will meet again at New York to-day
:to discuss the situation of the coal
! trade and the question of reducing
' prices, but there is not niucn likelihood
of any change being made while the de
' mand for coal continues so light as it is
! at present. The individual operators tire
| clamoring for a reduction in the rate of
1 tolls, both for the line ami tidewater busi
ness, but those well posted on the situa
tion are of the opinion that there will not
he any reduction in tolls while the prices
for coal continue to rule so low.
The total amount of anthracite coal j
sent to market for the week ending;
March 15, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 528,664 tons, ;
compared with 508,531 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of !
20,133 tons. The total amount of an- |
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 1
was 5,175,140 tons compared with 5,700,-
941 tons for the snme period last year, a
decrease of 585,801 tons. — Ledger.
