Union—the St. Ann's Pioneer Corps, of this parish—has resolved to sever all connection with the body which gave it birth—the St, Ann's T*. A. B. Society. This conclusion was arrived at on Sunday afternoon, when a meeting was held in its rooms. The subject was thoroughly discussed before this impor tant step was taken, and the members think this resolution will mark a new era in the history of the Corps. This action has been urged by some of the members for neariy a year past, hut not until recently did the movement re ceive much encouragement from the majority of the members, who disliked the idea of breaking from the mother organization. The Pioneer Corps is a non-beneficial, social and semi-military organization, composed of members of •St. Ann's T. A. B. Society and was or ganized by the latterasan inducement to young men to become total abstainers. Many of the members believe that the affairs of the Corps can he conducted with more satisfaction as a separate body and that its numerical strength will be largely increased by such a change. These are the principal causes for sever ing its connection with the older body. It will still retain the total abstinence feature, to which will be added a bene ficial clause, and it will apply for ad mission to the Scranton C. T. A. Union when a permanent orgunizition is effected. Under the guidance and instruction of Colonel Wm. Kelly the Corps became famous throughout Northeastern Penn sylvania for its proficiency in military tactics, ami its exhibition drills won for it the highest praise on several occasions. Its membership four, years ago became so large that two companies were formed, known as Company A and B of the First C. T. A. U. Regiment of Pennsylvania, commanded respectively by Captain Frank McLaughlin and the late Captain Frank Sweeney. The strike of 1887-88 depleted its ranks like all the other societies, and at that time both companies were merged into one. It is at present under the able leadership of .Captain Frank McLaughlin, assisted by Lieutenants John B. Ilanlon and John McGinnis. The present style of uniform will be abandoned and a full military uniform will he substituted. Another proposed change, which will meet the approval of the public, is to equip the company with improved rifles instead of.the cumber some axes. These will give the officers an opportunity to instruct the members in regulation military tactics, bayonet exercises, loading, firing, etc. The name of the new organization has not yet been decided upon, hut one conforming with its transformation to a military body will he selected. These changes will he made as rapidly as possible, and Free land will soon have a first-class military company, organized upon a basis which will place it in a position to he prepared for any emergency that may arise to demand its service. Many members of the older society fovor the change ami its standing will not he materially effected. It will con tinue in its efforts to carry out the prin ciples of total abstinence and benevo lence. Weekly Coal Report. The anthracite coal trade continues in the same dull condition heretofore re ported, which is usual at this period of the year. The dealers throughout the country appear to have their yards suffi ciently stocked with coal to carry them along' temporarily, and there is little new demand for coal excepting to sup ply the immediate requirements of those dealers who have allowed their stocks to mn low. From now until the spring business begins the anthracite trade will most likely continue very quietand with out much improvement, unless some un forseen event should occur to stimulate it. There is, however, a considerable (piantity of coal being forwarded to mar ket on old contracts. The strike in the Connellsville coke region lias made some of the anthracite operators hopeful that they may be able to recover part of their lost furnace trade, anil an cifort in that direction is being made. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending February 7, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 588,551 tons, compared with 512.187 tonsin the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 70.340 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 wa53,683,446 tons, compared with 2,939,. 429 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 753,917 tons.—Ledger. —The young men of Brockwayville, Jefferson County, carried the election.

The victims wen all students, and were on their way tc school. —Owing to the scarcity of coke man) furnaces in the Lebanon Valley are now using anthracite coal. Some furnaces arc using part anthracite in order to bridge over the trouble. Should the strike in the coke regions continue much longer it is predicted that every stack in the Lebanon and Schuylkill Valleys will have to resort to anthracite coal for fuel Another Mine on Fire. The Mover mine at Scottdale, owned by W. J. Rainey, is on fire, and it if reported that four men are entombed The fire was kindled by a miner ac cidentally dropping a naked lamp at the bottom of the shaft, which is 200 feet deep. The lamp ignited the accumulated gas, which exploded with a terrific re port and scattered the flames in every direction. The mine machinery and workings caught fire, and the large fan u-ed fur ventilating the mine was totally destroyed, and the interior of the mine I seems to he one mass of furious flame The mover coke plant is one of the lar gest in the region, employing 500 men The men at this plant have refused to joir the ranks of the strikers and the workf were running full. Fifty miners were at work at the time of the explosion. A1 escaped except four, who are missing and are thought to be dead. J. 11. Bit. Subject to fluctua tions as to change of market. i!
