The Lehigh Valley Company proposes to begin a new system of mining coal at their strippings. Instead of doing the work themselves as heretofore they pro pose to give it out by contract and have the lowest bidder cut and transport the coal to the colliery.

Men Who Will Represent Till* Section in tlie Democratic County Convention. The Democratic primary elections were held on Saturday. In a majority of tho surrounding districts there were no opposition, and tho elections passed off very quietly. Below are tho names of the delegates who will represent this section in the county convention at Wilkesbarro tomorrow: Freeland borough— First district, James M. Gallagher. Second district, Hugh Shovliu. Third district, I*. J. Brislin. Fourth district, James Brennan. Foster township— Upper Lehigh, Patrick McGuirc. Jr. South Ileborton, Stephen Eroli.

Upper Lehigh, Jeddo borough, Philip Brislin. With possibly a few exceptions, the whole lower end delegation will support Freehind's candidate, James J. Malloy, for recorder. POLITICAL PICKUPS. News from Wilkesbarro indicates that W. S. McLean will be the nominee for judge, Fonnor for controller, Brenner or Sutton for sheriff and Malloy for re corder. The other offices are very much in doubt. There is some opposi tion to making a nomination for judge, but as the Republicans have no candi date yet it is likely tlie position on the ticket will be filled. .1. P. McDonald, of Freeland, is spoken of as a candidate for poor director next spring. There is no doubt that if the. genial "Joe" was to say tlie word he could have the nomination. His fitness and Democracy cannot be questioned and his election is assured.— Weatlierly Herald. Patsy llerron, of Milncsvillo, an nounced himself last evening as a can didate for recorder before tlie conven tion tomorrow. Freeland is full of candidates. Among them we notice .1. .1. Malloy for record er. Mr. Malloy is as popular a young man as can lie found in the lower end of Luzerne and the electors will make no mistake by giving him the delegates. He deserves them.— Weatlierly Herald. ON THE DIAMOND. Next Sunday the base ball patrons of town will have an opportunity to see another State league game. The. strong Lancaster club will be tlie. Tigers' op ponents, and tho amateurs will make another grand effort to down the pro fessionals. The game will be called promptly at 3 o'clock. Prices of admis sion will remain the same as usual. Do not miss tiiis exhibition. The Lancas ter team is an aggregation of hitters, and lots of excitement is promised. The Travelers dofeatcd the Foarnots yesterday afternoon. The game was played at the Tigers park and was wit nessed by a large audience. The Drif ton boys tried hard to win, but the Travelers held them down. Tho score was 10 to 5 in favor of the Freeland club. The l>est paying amateur team in the state are the Tigers of Freeland. They rarely go away from homo and always j draw enormous crowds on their own grounds. They fare better financially i than State league clubs.— Wcatherly Herald. An exciting contest took place yester day morning at the park, tin? opposing teams being tlie Stars, of town, and the Stars, of Jeanesville. It took twelve in nings to settle tlie game. The Jeanes ville players won. The score was 11 to 10. The Tigers did not play yesterday, as Manager Gallagher was unable to secure a club qualified to play against them. Manager Milligan, of Allentown, re leased Pitchers Bakely and Baker and suspended Mayer on Thursday. There are only 08 points difference in the nine leading clubs of the National league. It is the. closest race ever known in base, ball, and any of the nine teams may take the pennant. On Wednesday, a club, advertised as the Freeland Clerks came here to play. We are told that there were at least six of tho Freeland Tigers in the club, find some say they were all Tigers. This famous club can hold its own with State league clubs, and that is where itshould be, instead of playing local amateurs. — While Haven Journal. PLEASURE CALENDAR. July 14.—Base ball, Lancaster State league club vs. Tigers, at Tigers Ath letic park. Admission, 15c; ladies, 10c. Refowich sells the best $1.50 and $2 children's suits to be had anywhere. The Fight, of the Factions. The Republican factions are still at war. lu this county the Quay and Hasting forces are rapidly getting in line for the contest at the primaries. This year promises to be the most exciting ever held in the history of tlie Republi can party of Luzerne county. Both sides are making charges which appar ently they are not able to prove. First j a story was put in circulation that Quay had sent SIO,OOO to his followers. In vestigation showed that the Quay leaders have not received a dollar. "It's all bosh," said ex-Congressman Shook. "Quay has sent no money here and we don't want him to. The light can be made without money. Quay's friends are not to lx; bought and sold." Colonel W. J. Harvey, who is a power in tlie counsels of the party, is working night and day for Quay. He says lie will win. The Quay men say that tin opposition are using money freely. They fail, however, to make specific charges. The Quay men of the upper end profess to be able to win. In the fourth district the quarrel is on in earnest. A few weeks ago the Quayitcs were conlidcnt of a walk-over everywhere outside of Freeland. There has been a change since. Some of the leaders made queer moves after Con gressman Lciscnring's return from the west. They now favor Hastings, bui the sentiment of the district will have to undergo some further changes before two delegates go to llarrisburg instruct ed for tho governor. In Freeland tho Quay men surprised everybody by placing delegates in the Held. This was supposed to Ixs a strong Hastings town, yet the senator's dole gates are developing surprising strength, and claim they will win. However, the newspapers of their party and the cor porations of the vicinity are against them. Accidents of a Day. Four mine accidents occurred at Shen andoah on Friday, two of which were fatal and the other of a serious nature. A driver boy named Alex Robusky was found lying doad in a gangway at West Shenandoah colliery. His neck was broken and tho cause of his death is a mystery. The only explanation is that he was killed by a kick from tlie mule which he was driving. Charles Guiski, a miner, was caught by a fall of coal at Ellangowan collien and so badly injured that he cannot re cover. John Price was the third victim. He was employed at Shenandoah City col liery, and in dismounting from the back of a mule fell and broke liis thigh. Adam Suske was this last on tlie list. He failed to reach a place of safety when a blast was being iired and was struck by Hying pieces of coal, sustain ing several painful injuries. Revenue Collector's Report, The annual report of Collector of In ternal Revenue Herring, of this district, for the fiscal year ended July 1, shows a large increase in business and receipts. The total amount collected was $725,085, an increase of $12,000 over the receipts of the previous year. The greatest amount of revenue was derived from the sale of beor stamps, the total beings 427,- 853 Oil 1,711,412 kegs, or 52,820 more than last year. Tho sale of special stamps realized $111,025.00; cigar and cigarette stamps, $88,297.97; spirit stamps, $47,750.57; tobacco stamps. 840,- 019; special stamps for playing cards, $1,901,52. Tlio RuHy Mollier-iii-Law. 11. li. Hicks, of Kingston, had no faith in banks, and placed S7O in the heating stove to keep it out of the roach of bur glars. The plan worked well until Hicks' mother-in-law came to visit him on Monday. She got up early next morn ing and concluded to warm the house, up a trifle by building a fire in tlie heating stove. When the family came down stairs there was no sign of a chill in the house, but the good woman was aston ished when she found just how warm her son-in-law felt. Will Make tlio Appointments. The appointment of a judge and con troller for this county will be made by Governor Hastings, notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, is a report sent out from Ilazleton by men who claim to have learned from a reliable source that these vacancies would be filled. When the appointments will be made, however, is not stated. The consideration of the applicants is now occupying the atten tion of the governor.

INDIVIDUAL OPERATORS WILL TRY TO RESTORE HARMONY. A Committee That Represent One-tliird of the Output and $50,000,000 of Capi tal Will Make an Effort to Infuse Idle in the Oemorall/.eil Coal ltusinesH. Tlio demoralized condition of the an thracite coal business lias boon dis cussed for a year or more past. It is at present the only industry in the United States that has failed to respond to the great business boom that began a few months ago. The individual operators, who do not like the present conditions any more than the miners do, have determined to assert their right to be heard on the question, and at a meeting of their association in New York city last week a resolution was adopted empower ing the president to appoint a committee to draw up some plan of action calcu lated to stop demoralization in the coal trade and restore it to a normal condi tion. The point was made that the association represented one-third of the anthracite output and 850,000,000 of capital. The first step of the committee, which consists of T. 11. Watkins, Mahlon S. Ivenimerer and H. 11. Sturgis, was to go to Philadelphia and call upon President Harris, of the Heading Company, who, it is said, was the leader of the coal carrying roads' opposition to a satis factory settlement. Mr. Watkins, of j the committee, in speaking of the inter view, said: "The meeting witli President Harris was for the purpose of talking over coal trade matters in a general way with tie hope of finding some way to relieve the i present situation. While nothing de finite was readied, good feeling was manifested Jjy those present. Wo were very glad to lind that the story that had been widely circulated that President Harris had said that the Heading Com- j pany's demand for 21 per cent of ton- j nago would likely be increased in the j future, is untrue. This story has done much to interfere with negotiations, j and it is satisfactory to know that Presi- i dent Harris never made such a state- j me.it. ••While there will be difficulty in ar- j ranging a basis of tonnage, which seems i to be the only plan for a stable founda tion for the trade, 1 believe It can be i brought about. There should be a pen- ' alty for non-compliance with the agree.- iiient, and it is possible that a commis sioner to represent the, trade with such duties as the trunk line's commissioner, would facilitate the car y ng out of any programme that might he agreed on. All the talk has been of a tentative character. "The trade Is certainly in a demoraliz ed condition, and it is urgently necessary that some immediate steps for relief be taken. This can he done only by con certed action by the presidents of the coal-carrying companies, and it is hoped that they will take the matter up and settle it before the fall trade begins. At this moment thorn seems to bo little, dis position to do anything that will tend to the improvement of prices. The ton nage question is and lias been para mount, hut the time has come when a wider and more liberal view ought to bo taken which will conserve the interests of everybody in the trade."
