Habrisbcbo, Jan. 23. A formidable opposition against the Dockage and other bills presented and backed by the Lnxerne members of the Legislature, has crystallized, and unless the men in the coal regions who are interested in the passage of the bills unite in giving emphatic expression to their opinions and designs, it is more than likely that the measures Intended for their benefit will go by the board. On Tueaday, the dockage bill was considered before the committee on mines and mining. Ex-mine Inspector T.

M. Williams, Geo. T. Morgan of Nantiooke, Mr. Lewis, representing the Wm.

Penn colliery Eof Scnuylkill county; Mr. Robinson, an individual operator from the Northumberland region, and others whose names I failed to obtain, appeared in opposition to the bill and succeeded in having it -postponed another week. Messrs. Caffrey, Gallagher and Geo. 8.

Boyle defended the bllL It was shown that while the operators of the Schuylkill region dock lightly, those in the Luzerne and Lackawanna regions, go to extremes, the dockage in the latter regions -for 1886 amounting to about three millions of dollars. The Company Store bill introduced by Representative Farrell of Clearfield county was reported by the same committee with an affirmative recommendation. committee on Labor and Industry met Tuesday night and reported favorably the bill introduced by Representative Collins, providing a penalty for any violation of the semi-monthly pay law. In committee this bill was defended bv Renreeantatives Eugene Dononoe, Schuylkill county, Robert ratterson, oi rauaaeipnia, and air. Catrrey, ot Luaerne.

It was opposed by Representative Mar land, of Allegheny. The people ought.to know how their representatives act on such important measures. Representative Lackawanna, ought to get' some "pointers" on the question of dockage from bis Of coarse it cannot be expected that a lawyer should be familiar with' everything in creation, don't you know. The XSTe County bill was reported' affirmatively, the. vote in committee being quite close, twelve to In the discussion before 'the Committee, Attorney Troutman, of Hazleton, strongly favored and Attorney Wright followed, pointing out particularly the difficulty in getting civil and criminal cases promptly tried in the Luzerne courts.

Lawyer Kline dwelt on the geographical disadvantages that Hasleton labored under- and presented those as an argument for division. Mr. Wherry, of Cumberland, asked if the Judges of Luzerne, favored the scheme and was informed by Mr. Kline that Judge Rhone had expressed himself in lavor of it. This left the inference that much weight would be given to the opinions of the Judges.

Ex-Representative Boyle, of Hazleton, laid before the committee a petition signed by several thousand residents of the territory which it is proposed to cat off, to show the demand for a new county. Representative Bachert, of Schuylkill, was averse to leaving the old county although he lived nearer Hazleton then Potts ville. The committee having some doubts as to the constitutionality of the new movement, reported the bill favorably, with the understanding that it shall be recommitted when printed. No information could be obtained as to what Judges Rice and Woodward thought of the project, and it was quite evident that many anxiously desired light in this Tbe Democratic members from your county voted solidly against Prohibition, Mr. Coray voted for submission, and Mr.

Interesting Figures The Ontlonk For tbe Current Year Better Trade Weather. By the official tonnage account, says Sa-ward, it appears that tbe Anthracite trade last year was supplied by tbe districts as io ws omini ja i tors in itstsa, ic-TWieu with 19,684,938 in 1887: Le high.

5.639.238 In 1883. as compared with 4,847,061 in 1887; Schuvlkill, 10.654,116 in lima, as compared witn u7 in 1887. it also appears that tbe J48tern competi tive tonnage, including all coal which for final consumption or in transit reaches any point on the Hudson River or the Bay or New York, or wbich passes ont of tbe Capes of the Delaware, was: 1888, 13,657,604 tons; issy, tons. It is Btated that the stock of coal on hand at tide-water shipping points December 31, 1588, was 653.156 tons, as compared with 569,883 tons on November 80, and 130,977 tons on December si, 1B87. It is rather early to make any prophecy as to the probable ratpat of hard coal during the year isy; it is not out or to recall tbe figures printed in the edition of The Coal Trade Journal, tor August 13, '88; the prooaDio courss oi trade, as proved by statistics of the ten proceeding years there recorded, showed that there would be 88,350,000 tons wanted daring the cur rent year.

We' shall hardly get far away from these figures, from all present appearances; tnougn li the growtn ot "the trade with Canada continues, the figures named may be distanced: the largest actual growth in sales and deliveries last year was to Canada. It may net be out of place to re mark that tbe sum total of the output of coal of all kinds, in the United States, last year was in round numbers some 130,000,000 tons, or double the stated output during the year asy. mis growtn is remarganie, and many interesting deductions will readily oc cur to the reader, based upon this statement. It is full early to croak about this year's possible results. There has been good coaVburning weather since the date of our last edition and the coal dealer at least is pleased at this change, for it gives him the hope that be may yet run off bis stock.

Trade in hard coal bas not been over active in any part of the coun try in tbe week -under review; tbe quantity of coal being produced is quite sufficient to meet the requirements and prices are only fairly well maintained. As noted above, there may now be a turn for the better in all these features, and if so, we shall enter the active season of '89 in good shape. There has been a very quiet market at New York and vicinity, but the producers are holding together very well on tbe matter Of price, (for it is well know that cut rates do not move any large amount of coal in such a market as we bave had) and there is tbe dis position to hold tbe receipts rather than admit of any great deviation from the list price. Boston report is much tbe same as last week there Is nothing doing to put" any lire in the coal trade and a repetition of previous reports would suffice. Philadelphia reports that there is comparatively little or no coal being so'd, stocks are ac cumulating, and further restriction is spoken of as being necessary.

Chicago reports but little doing in hard coal the last coia snap bas helped to move tne supplies a little, but there Is too much coal in stock; it is claimed that upwards of 500,000 tons were on nand. on the rath mst: our report savs: "should we have a period of low temperature for a week or ten days in succession there would undoubtedly be a fairly active busi ness none in anthracite." rrlcas are rainy held in view of the existing trade conditions and tne supplies in -hand, Bitten br a Vicious Dog.

Tbe following is a true riwrintinn fit his experience in a tilt with death. He states that for twelve months he. was a terrible sufferer from lnnammation and ulceration Ot the stomach.

His sufferings were horrible. He could not attend to his business for nine months, and for a period of five months he could not eat anything to the shape of solid food, and was compelled to subsist on two quart of milk each twenty-four hours. He vomited blood and and had a constant burning pain in tbe stomach as If a coal of fire was there. He could not bear the slightest pressure over the stomach, and he could not button bis vest for over four mouths. He bad been treated by four physicians without being benefitted, and was sent from one to the other wittnut relief.

He could not lie on his left side at all. During this time he suffered death a thousand times. He had given up all hopes of ever being cured when he wss pureuaded to call upon Dr. Strong, of 400 Lackawanna Svanne, Scranton, Pa. For four-days beforebe placed hia case in Dr.

He gained in strength and flesh and now be is able to eat all kinds of food.

The fearful feelings of depression and pain are gone, and he feels and acts like a new man Tbe above case had baffled the skill of the best physicians in this valley, and its successful cure has astonished hundreds of Mr. Kelly's friends. This case is but one among the thousands of remarkable cures performed by Dr. Strong since bis location in He has treated over six thousand patients in this vicinity and the many living testimonials he has produced here is the strongest proof of his success and skill as a Dr. Strong compounds all of tbe medicines used in his practice.

The election for Mayor of this city takes place on Tuesday, tbe 19h day of February, just four weeks from next Tuesday. Naturally there is quite an undercurrent of popular debate with regard to the chances of this and that candidate, and not a little curiosity in certain quarters as to who are most likely to secure tbe nominations. As a rule the voters have not made a party fight of it.

Three years ago, however, toe lie-publicans made a nomination. This fact inspired the Democrats to call a convention this year. There appeared to exist a feeling, based on tbe experiences of the past to a large extant, that a surely party struggle would not insure so good a magistrate as whonld be the case if tne coiiuxib were itubeuurejv hi uw iwpia vote as they saw fit. Certainly there are goon grounds for leaving the struggle to the people, as in that case the selection would be assuredly good one. Aa matters are at present there is but one gentleman who has openly announced himself as a candidate, and he is tha present incumbent.

So far as Mayor Sutton's conduct of tbe office is concerned, very little fault appears to be found with it So far as it finds expression through its prominent spokesmen on tbe street, the community regard his administration as a just and fair one. and seem to believe that he has made no serious mistakes, in a quiet canvass the fact was developed that Mayor Sut ton an influential following. a popular backing that will stand by him to the-last. He does not apparently fear any grave inroads upon hia ambitions, and luliy believes things will come out his way in tbe end. The friends of Colonel B.

F. Stark are quite anxious to see him occupy the Mayor's cbair and it is certain that they wm do their oest to enter him for the race. 5 It is understood that the Colonel will not. objacc provided tbe nomination comes straight and is the expression of a majority feeling. That he would make an excellent magistrate goes without saying.

Anthony V. Campbell, the popu lar young attorney, is also men tioned favorably for the place by some of his numerous friends who would like to see him clothed with the municipal honor. An active canvass is likely to be made in his interest, and it is quite probable that he will be tbe choice of the Democratic convention next Monday evening. Mr, Campbell is a live young man- and would make a discreet, impartial and intelligent magistrate, j. It is only within a short time that the name of Counselor Seligman J.

Strauss has been presented for the fight There is no gainsaying the fact that the antlnms.n wonlrl hnnnr tha nlnni with gentle dignity, while he would most assor ediy onpg to the executive functions bright legal mind, a calm judgment and judicial Mr. Strauss has many warm friends behind him whose in fluence is powerful and popular. "Sheldon Reynolds is not without supporters wno would very mucn use to see him at tbe head of the city government. A life-long Democrat, a gentleman of culture and rare mental acquirements, removed by fortune beyond the lines ef a desire 'for the slight emoluments oc tbe office, his friends think they see in Mr, Reynolds the right man for the place. Whether or not the gentle man would consent to accept its somewhat exacting and routine duties, is not fully Known.

xne movement began some time ago to mage Allan a. Dickson the citizens' candidate is not dead yet, and it may be carried through. As in the case of most of the gentlemen named above. Mr. Dickson would grace the Mayor's place and enroica me ordinances with steady and impartial-discipline.
