ReDiiinberiug A. O. 11. Divi*ions.
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.

Black Diamond Statistic*.
From a preliminary statement compil
ed by E. W. 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.

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.
