FOSTER TOWNSHIP DEMOCRATS.
1 In* Delegates From the Various Districts
in luster Township Assemble
and Nominate a Ticket.
The Democrats of Foster Township
met at the Highland .School House Tues
day and placed in nomination a full
township ticket to be voted for at the
next election.
As the hour for calling the convention
drew nigh, large numbers of friends of
the prospective nominees gathered at
the school building ready to occupy it as
boon as the doors were opened.
The convention was called to order at
2.45 p. ni. by District Chairman Patrick
O'Donnell, who requested the Secretary :
to read the rules adopted at the last con
vention, which was done, and at its con
clusion the Chairman requested all who i
were not delegates to leave the room.
This announcement was promptly com
plied with, it being understood that it
was only to last until the delegates had
organized.
The Secretary called the roll of districts \
and each of the twenty-four delegates j
responded to his name. A motion was i
then made and carried that the conven- '
tion receive nominations fora permanent 1
Chairman, whereupon Hugh A. Shovlin, j
of Highland, and John J. McNelis, of
Drifton, were nominated.
The Chairman appointed Manus Mc-
Fadden, of Eckley; John Hurley, of
Upper Lehigh, and James Boner, of the
Points, as Tellers.
On the first ballot the vote stood :
Shovlin, 12; McNelis, 12. This vote
remained the same for the following five
ballots, when a motion to take a secret
vote was defeated. Another ballot for
Chairman resulted in the same vote —12
to 12. A motion to take a recess of fif
teen minutes was made ami carried by a
vote of 13 to 11. After the time allowed
for recess had expired the convention
was again called to order, and seeing that :
the room was filled to overflowing by j
those who were put out in the early part j
of the afternoon, the Chairman had to j
resort to enforce rule 9 and requested all !
w ho were not delegates to retire.
This was no easy task to do, and it was
evident to he seen that the public did
not appreciate the holding of the con
vention with closed doors. Finally the
room became clear of all hut the dele
gates and a few scribes, when the voting
for Chairman took place. Twelve more
ballots took place, when Shovlin was
elected by a vote of 13 to 11.
Condy O'Donnell and Patrick Gillespie
were named lor permanent Secretary, j
O'Donnell was elected.
Chairman Shovlin then addressed the i
convention, and stated that the conven
tion having been duly organized was
then ready to receive nominations for ;
tin* different offices.
For Tax Collector Patrick Givens and
Fred Lesser were named. Givens re
ceived 10 and Lesser S votes.
hor Supervisors there were five names ;
presented as follows: Thomas Early,
Sandy Run; John McGeady, Highland;
Jno. O'D unell, Eckley; J no. Gallagher,
Pine Knot Hill, and George Krommes,
Nouth ileberton. John McGeady was
nominated on the first ballot. Three
more ballots were taken, when Early
was nominated by a vote of 14 to 10 over
O'Donnell.
For Township Treasurer three names
were placed in nomination : James Huff, '
Michael Dogget and Conrad Brehm.
Dogget was nominated on first ballot by (
a vote of 14; Huff, 9; and Brehm, 1.
For Selu.ol Directors Patrick 11. Han- ;
hn, William Mason, Charles Harvey
ami JacobZeistloft were named. Hanlon
and Zeisloft were nominated on first
bailot by a vote of 21 and 14 against fi
for Mason and 7 for Harvey.
For Township Clerk Patrick Gallagher J
was nominated by acclamation.
For Justice of the Peace Philip Miller
and Joseph Ward were named. Miller
received 15 votes to 9 for Ward.
Frank Dover and John B. Cnrr were
nominated for Auditors, the former for
three years and latter for one.
The date of holding the next Tow n- i
ship Convention and delegate elections
was changed to the last Saturday in
January for delegate elections, and tne !
first Tuesday in February for the con
vention, and the place changed to Free- j
j land.
POOR DIRECTOR.
Delegate McNelis, of Drifton, offered j

mously :

gates of Fofter Township, in convention j
assembled, pledge ourselves and our I

Wealth From the Anthracite Coal .Mines.
I The Pennsylvania anthracite coal stat
i istics, compiled by the Census Bureau,
; were issued on Saturday. The total pro
i duction during the calendar year 1889
i was 40,665,152 tons of 2240 pounds, val
; ued at the mines at $05,718,105, an aver
! age of sl.Ol 0-10 per ton, including all
sizes sent to market. The quantity
I actually carried to market, as reported
by the railroad companies, wa5 35,407,710
tons; 1,329,380 tons were used by em
ployes and sold to local trade at the
mines, and 3,518,690 tons are reported as
i consumed for steam making purposes in
: and about the mines.
"The average number of days worked
during the year 1889 by all the collieries '
was 194. The suspension of mining,
during |>eriods aggregating about one
third of the year, was caused, says the
census bulletin, mainly by the ina
ability of the market to absorb a larger
product. The number of persons em
ployed during the year, including super- ;
intendents, engineers and clerical force, j
was 125,229. The total amount paid in ,
wages to all classes during the year was
$39,152,124. The total numberof regular
1 establishments or breakers equipped for
the preparation and shipment of coal i
was 342,19 of which were idle during the
year. Besides these there were 49 small j
diggings and washeries, supplying local
trade. There were also 18 new establish
ments in course of construction."-
As a matter of comparison the bulletin I
says :
The statistics of anthracite coal in
Pennsylvania compiled for the tenth 1
census were based upon the year ended
June 30, 1880, and thus covered the last
six months of 1879 and the first six
months of 1880. The present census
covers the calendar year 1889. The fol
lowing items from the previous census
are herewith given to show the develop
ments which a decade has made in this
industry:
Total production for census year,
including all coal shipped to mar
ket and sold to employes and local
trade about the mines, exclusive
of culra (long ton) 25,575,875
Equal to short tons 28,8t0,H19
Value of product at mines §42,172,942
Average price of all grades |>er long
at mines SI.OH
Total shipments for census year
(long tons) 24,508,N22
Total shipments for calendar year
1879 28,142,081
Total shipments for calendar year
INK) 23,437.342
Total number of collieries 275 !
Total amount of wages paid in the
tenth census year $22,084,(^5
Total number of employes, all grades 70,009
The largest actual shipment during
any year in the history of the trade was
made in 1888, being 38,145,178 tons of
2249 pounds. The largest actual ship- ;
ment for any one month was 4,187,527
tons, in October, 1888. The shipment
of 1889 was, therefore, 90 per cent, of
the maximum shipments practicable
under existing conditions.
Shot Himself.
A son of William Walk, aged 14 years,
of Butler Valley, shot himself through
the head on Tuesday evenit g The only
reason assigned for the rash act was that
his father would not allow him to go to
church. There is very little hopes of
his recovery.
A Kitting Comedian.
Mr. Tony Farrell, who impersonated
the leading role in "The Irish Corporal?"
presented on Saturday evening at the
Academy of Music, is an actor of pro
nounced natural talent and long experi
ence. He is well known in So ran ton,
having for two successive seasons ac
hieved flattering success as "Felix" in
that laughable comedy, "Skipped by the
Light of the Moon." He also assumed
a leading part in "Blackthorn," another
successful nlay which Scranton was
pleased with. As "Jerry Donovan,"
"The Irish Corporal," Mr. Farrell sings
a number of catchy songs in a sweet,
mellow voice and in such an ingenious
manner that no audience can resist the 1
charm of his work. In the last act on !
Saturday evening he pleased the audience
; so well that he was compelled to respond
; to three persistent recalls,
i His wife (Miss Jennie Leland) is
sprightly and vivacious, sings nicely and
! (days a banjo solo which always brings
i down the house. The play is one which
affords wide scope for good work and
| with the changes in the supporting com
pany which will he inaugurated at once
will doubtless succeed whereever it is
1 presented.— Scranton Republican.

That Ghost Story.
The following explanation of the ghost
story, which caused such a sensation in
Hazleton last week, is taken from the
! Semi-Weekly Standard of Saturday :
1 Hundreds of people have, within the
I past few days, walked out to West Ha
zleton to pay a visit to the house of Chas.
; B ntz, who would have his neighbois
j believe his house is haunted by ghosts, j
The absurb story is an old one, and those
! w ho are well acquainted with Bontz think
: he is suffering with a case of "razzle." I
i His ridiculous ideas are encouraged by
some old imposter who has closed the
! house for nine days, the length of time
lie alleges it will take to bring the "ghost" i
under a spell. Bontz has caused the ar
: rest of his house-keeper, alleging she is
; the cause of the trouble. If the Squire
hearing the ease had performed his duty
I toward the public, he would have coin
, mitted Bontz to the lockup for a period
of nine or ten days to give him an oppor-
I tunity to brace up. The story has been
( widely circulated, and about half of the
children of town have become So worked
up over the matter that it is unsafe to
le&ve them alone for any length of time.

Weekly fowl Report.
The anthracite coal trade is not so ae- j
tive as it was recently, and there has been j
a falling off in the demand for the do
mestic sizes within the past week. The |
output of anthracite is somewhat in ex- 1
cess of the market requirements, and, j
consequently, there has been a slight in- 1
crease in the accumulated stocks of coal I
at tidewater shipping points. The Read- !
ing Coal and Iron Coin pany reports n fair
demand from tin; East for small cargoes ;
of various sizes, but no new contracts of j j
importance for future delivery are being j
made at present. The prices'"for anthra- j
cite are being reasonably well maintained j
at about the August circular figures, ,
i though exceptional eases of sales of stove !
coal at New York harbor below 84 f. o. b.
are occasionally reported. The Western j
sales agents will meet at New York on !
the 29th instant to compare views on the j
• situation of the trade.
The total ami unt of anthracite coal
sent to maiket for the 10 days ending !
January 10, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 050,215 tons,
compared with 917,281 tons in the corres
ponding period of last year, an increase
of 4,944 tons.
