The quarterly convention of the A.(). 11. of Luzerne county was held on Satur day at Wilkcsbarre, and the question of renumbering the divisions of the county whs taken up. Since the consolidation of the Board of Erin and Board of America the duplicate numbers have led to some confusion, and it was agoed that the plan of the arbitrator, Bishop Mc- Faul, of Trenton, of deciding by lot, should be followed out. There are forty six branches of the order in Luzerne— the numbers running from 1 to 28 on the American side and from 1 to 20 on the B. of E. side, with one lapsed branch on each side. The presidents of the divisions having the same numbers drew lots, and tho effect on the lower end branches was as follows: Division 5, Ilazleton, lost its number and was given 37; Division 0, Freeland, won and retains 0; Division 10. Ilazleton, won; Division 19, Freeland, lost and will hereafter be known as 41; Division 20, Eckley, won. The contest for No. 1 was won by the division in Wilkesbarre on the American side.

Parker, statistician of the United States geological survey, it is shown that the total output of coal in tiiii United States in 1897, amounted approximately to 198,250,000 short tons, with an aggregate value of #189,100,000. a fraction less than #1 per ton. Com pared with 1890, this shows an increase in tonffgo of 0.270.000 tons or about 3.3 percent. The increase in tho value of the product was only #1.700,000, a little less than ~9 of one per cent. The amount of coal produced in 1897 was the largest on record. The average value per ton was the lowest over Tho anthracite production in Pennsyl vania decreased nearly twoand a quarter million tons from 54.204,081 short tons of 2,000 pounds to 52.122,408 short tons In 1897, while the average price received at the mines per short ton was #I.OB per short ton (#1.85 per long ton) in both years. This is not an increase, but it is much better than a loss, one cent per ton meaning a total of more than half a million of dollars. In obtaining this average price for anthracite coal per ton it must be remembered that only marketable sizes are considered, and excluding this factor, the marketable product of anthracite coal in Pennsyl vania during 1897 was 42,037.894 long tons against 44,188,400 long tons iu 189(3. The bituminous production shows an increase of 8,500,000 tons in spite of the prolonged strike in the fields of Pennsyl vania, Ohio, West Virginia, rndiana and Illinois. Of those five states, only Ohio had a decreased production in 1897. The decline of 1.4 cents on a total pro duct iu 1897 of 14(5,000.000 tons repre sented a decrease of something over #2,000,000. Considering the industry by states, Pennsylvania holds her usual position. The combined product of anthracite and bituminous coals from tho Keystone state amounted to 10(5,000,000 short tons, nearly 54 per cent of the total output. Pennsylvania's percentage of the total bituminous output was 37, her output of soft coal being 54,000,000 tons, Illinois remains in second place with a total of a little over 20,000,000 short tons. West Virginia comes third, and Ohio fourth. Alabama reached her maximum output of 5,893,770 tons standing fifth, and lowa is sixth. An l'iiNiicce*Mfiil Meeting. The meeting held last Thursday evening, to organize a military company in Freeland, was not the success antici pated by its projectors. There was a fairly large attendance at the Cottage lial! when the meeting opened. John Wagner was chosen chairman 'and Timothy Boyle secretary. From the start it was apparent that no definite action would bo taken that evening, not that patriotism and the desire to enlist were lacking, but from other causes. The presence of Captains Lee and Giles, of Hazleton, who came hero very likely with the best of intentions, was regard ed as an intrusion by several towns people: the activity iu the movement of certain officials of the Cross Creek Coal Company repelled others from acting, and the fact that many of the younger mon who were in the hall have arrange ments partly made to go to tho front tinder officers of their own choosing, all had tho effect of making the meeting anything but a success, while the dilly ally of tho president with his message served to dampen the ardor of everybody. Addresses were made by John J. Mc- Gill. Captains Giles and Leo, John Wagner, James Bolilin and I). ,J. Carthy. The remarks brought forth a variety of views, with the result that an ad journment took place without naming a day for further attempts to organize. The inactivity displayed at this meet ing should not he taken in any sense to mean that Freeland does not intend to do its duty in case of war. The feeling in town is strongly tho reverse, and vol unteers iu plenty can be had when tho occasion demands them. After I.vl*enring'* Delegate*. The friends of Congressman Connell, of Lackawanna county, who will be a candidate for governor before the Re publican state convention, think they see victory ahead in the rivalry between Quay and Wanamaker, and word has gone along the line among Council's friends to push his candidacy with re newed energy. Mr. Council made the first definite announcement of his candi dacy for the governorship on Friday, and already his lieutenants are at work iu Luzerne county trying to get a protn iso for the delegates elected in favor of ex-Congressman Loisenring that they will support the Lackawanna candi late in case Lelsenring withdraws from tho light. Strong influences are at work in favor of Connell. CASTORIA. Thofac- /9 _ 3'. —Dr. David Kennedys favorite Remedy CURES ALL KIDNEY. STOMACH */ WAND LIVER TROUBLES. A PITTSTON SENSATION. CHIEF OF POLICE ALLEGED TO HAVE TAKEN MONEY BRIBES. Jon.pli I-oftus. the Head nf the Force in the Upper End City, tit Accused of Grave Offenses Trouble Ahead for Other Officers. The equanimity of Pittston's city council was disturbed on Friday night by the presentation of a petition against the reappointment of Joseph I.oftus as chief of police. The petition was ac companied by an affidavit sworn to bv Thomas English and John H. Mullin. alleging that during the three years Loftus had been a police ofNcer of l'itts ton hc lias demanded and received divers sums of money from various persons engaged in illegal occupations and busi nesses, the moneys being extorated by threats made by Loftus that If the money woro not paid ho would cause said persons to bo arrested and prose cuted; also alleging that during It is term of office he has permitted and allowed gambling houses In the city and received various sums of money from the proprietors. Mayor Harding declared It is Intention of making a thorough investigation, and when these charges are disposed of it Is said that ex-City Treasurer McDowell and ox-Controller Hogalson will be asked to defend an action to bo Instltufod surcharging them with 82,520. which represents the amount of salary paid Chlof Loftus during the paSt three years. The proposed action will be based on a clause in the law governing cities of the third class which says that to be eligible for appointment as chief of police the applicant must be first ap pointed a policeman. The council, not having lived up to the spirit of the law. Ills acts as well as theirs appointing him are considered Illegal. The disclosures have caused decided interest throughout the city, and anxiety for those connected. I'onaltftts for Unlawful Fishing. Tlio Pennsylvania Fish Protective Association is sending out the following notices, which, in view of the near ap proach of the tisliing season, will prove helpful reminders: All persons desiring to promote the increase of fish In this locality will bear in mind that it Is important that the laws providing for a close season should be strictly observed, so that the fish may have time to spawn and tlitis provide for the continuance of the natural supply, without which the wators will soon become depleted. Fishing with nets In tlio Island waters and set lines is also prohibited by the laws of the state. Penalty 810(1 with forfeiture of nets, boats, etc. Fish weirs, fish baskets and fyke nets are prohibited. Penalty 850 for first, offense and SIOO for the second offense. Trout fishing is allowed only between April 15 and July 15, except in Pike county, where the season is from May l to August 1. Penalty 810 for each trout taken out of season. lilack bass, rock bass and wall-eyed pike can only be caught between May 50 and January 1 under penalty of $lO for each fish caught out of seasons. The catching of black bass and wall eyed pike under six inches, and trout and rock bass under five inches in length is prohibited. Penalty 810 for each fish. The use of torpedoes, giant powder, nitro-glycerine, dynamite, electricity, lime, or any other poisonous or explo sive substance of any kind for catching or taking lish, is strictly prohibited. Penalty SSO and imprisonment. Compromised on Three. From the Lausford Record. At the recent organization meeting of the middle coal field poor directors at Laurytown the contention as to who should be the physician resulted in a compromise that elected three at $l2O per yearcjjph. Two years ago the time and salary of S4OO was divided among two. and now a third has been added and the salary cut. Drs. Latham. Longshore and Tweedle, all of Weatherly. will divide tiie time and salary of $50(1. The position calls for a weekly visit, and oftener if required. There is a dissatisfaction about the directors, because there is a growing opposition to Stewart Weils. A pecu liarity about, our poor board is that several men have been elected to make a change, but after the first year they were won over to the administration, and as a result, the two holdovers vote against any change proposed by the now director.
