An advance of one dollar per loo on coal, wilhin a month, is predicted (so 'tis stated) by Franklin Gowen, President of the Reading Railroad Company. This is an important item of intelligence which it would do well for housekeepers to consider. POTATOES HIGH IN PRICE. Old potatoes are higher in price now than fur a good many years past at this season. They retail at twsnty cenls per half peck, and ihereaboule, according lo quality, and are to he regarded as costly provision at those figures.

If people could only be persuaded to believe it, there are many kinds of vegetable food just as palatable and much more nutritious which can he bad for half the cost of potatoes, especially those of last year's crop. WAS IT A MISTAKE The West Chester Village Record in endeavoring lo set the Times and Dispatch right, is getting Chester county politicians into a trouble that may work disastrously to the prospects of some in the next State election. Hear what it says "It begins to look as if Senator Everhart would be obliged to turn his thoughts toward the State Treasury, und accept the Republican nomination, nolens miens. The mistake of the Reading Times in giving him what the Lebanon Courier had said about another gentleman has spread like a prairie fire, and 'Everhart forever I' is inscribed on a multitude of bauuers. As for Chester county herself, she would be embarrassed in that case, as she is very apt to be, with an excess of unexceptionable material for candidates." THAT COSTLY HOSPITAL.

The Korristown Insane Asylum has already cost Ibe State KHOOOOO for its erection, and Is askirg for more to complete it. The bill for the additional appropriation was ludetluiloly postponed in the House last Monday by a vote of 78 ayes to 6ii nays but the cloie vote leads to the inference that the appropriation will be granted by ft reconsideration oi me uiu. juauinp iwkm una Dispatch. Our Reading coteuiporary is a few thousands loo high in its figures. The Commission was authorized lo erect an asylum at an expense of 000,000.

At the urgent solicitation of the Board of Public Charities in con junction with which the Commission was directed lo erect the necessary buildings the plans were, very wisely, changed to include accommodations for a largely iucreased number of inmates. The additions will, nodoubl, sooner or later, be made, but the work can be done now at much less expeuse than by postponing it. It is simply a plain luisiuesH matter. If the present Legislature cannot see the necessity of accomplishing the work proposed, another probably will Norristomn Herald. JIIDGESTERRETTON ILLEGAL FEES.

Probably there is not one mini in one hundred thousand in this Slate, outside of the public officers and their clerks, know anything about what the legal fees of any office are. The Supreme Court has laid down what may be considered a new doctrine. Justice Sterrett, who decided the case, declared that the illegal fees can be recovered back, and in doing so he entirely exploded the former doctrine which prevailed on the subject, in the following sensible language "Sound public policy requires ns to hold that a public officer who, virtttte officii, demands and takes as Ices for his terriers what arc not authorised O' more than is allowed by law, should be compelled to make restitution. and the public, who have business to transact with him, do not stand upon an equal fooling. It is his special business to be conversant with the law under which he acts, and to kuow precisely how much he is authorized to demand for his services.

Hut with them it Is different They have neither the time nor the opportunity of acquiring the infor nation necessi ry to know whether be fa claiming too much or not and, as a general rule, relying ou his honesty and Integrity, they acquiesce in his demands," This is something at least toward substantial justice. The old doctrine, which was oi sum cient authority to oompel ibe Court of Com mon Pleas to give judgment in favor of the officers who look illegal fees, may be con sidered as overthrown and set aside. There is an advance toward the jurisdiction of pure reason in the doctrine of the court. EW I NOW FOR FANS AN SODAS The last three days have been hot the mercury yesterday bugging the nineties uncomfortably close in the shade. With the thermometries! registration up so high, it may be truly said the time for fans and 8)da and linen dusters has come.

But will (his weather last Has this torrid and horrid wave come to stay You know it was only a few days ago that men were wearing spring overcoats and thick flannels. Then, too, there have been disastrous atmospheric dis turbances during the last few days in Kansas and Missouri, which may who knows? bring us a cold wave within twenty four hours. Then, perhaps, will come more spring overcoats and more thick flannels. And this induces the thought, how pleasant it would be if were to have the cold weather in summer time and the hot waves about Christmas and New Year's Day Musquitoes, you see, would then freeze up, and that annoyance would at least he stopped. Then, too, those big, green bodied troublesome flies would have to wear ulsters or git Mayor Tyson could then let the dogs go unmuuled his police fore would have no occasion to arrest boys bathing in the Schuylkill, (they would skale then, instead,) the 'cant getaways' lha now have to grin and bear it during the heated term, would be quite as comfortable as their more fortunalo neighbors who bie to the summer resorts just as soon as the warm weather comes.

Then, too, druggists could retire all sunstroke remedies there would be few, If any, ice bills to pay and everybody would be happy. But, as Hughey Dougherty says, "we have wandered from our subject." We simply meant to remind our readers of course only those who were asleep yesterday (not in church but at their homes) that summer has come in good earnest, and that it probably has come to stay. Always keep (hem on hand, as delay increases suffering; and if 'you feel sickness coming upon you, take a dose of Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills.

Child Falls from a Second Story. ACCIDENT TO BKV.

MR, BELL'S CHILD OTHER MATTERS AT PORT CARBON, The Port Carbon correspondent of the Times and Dispatch writes as follows The little girl of Rev. H. S. Bell, the noted lecturer, fell from the second story window of bis residence in Port Carbon this (Saturday) morning, a distance of twenty one feet to the pavement. The child is eighteen months old, and, though rather badly bruised, is apparently not dangerously injured.

The mother was with the daughter iu the room, heard it open the shutters, and saw it fall from the window, but could not reach it in time. Decoration L'ij was celebrated in Port Carbon with unusual eclat, there being a number of military companies in line, members of the Grand Army, Sons of America, Sons of Temperance, Sunday School children, and quite a number of other citizens. The P. C. Glee Club and the Minersville Band furnished the music.

Charles Brumm, of Minersville, delivered quite a lengthy address. Mr. Brumm was the Greenback candidate for Congress last fall. Eight carrier pigeons sent here from Ta maqua, this morning, were let loose in Port Carbon, at 10.15 a. by J.

P. McCord and J. Beddall, and arrived in Tamaqua, fifteen miles distant, at 10.40. The pigeons circled around over Port Carbon for five or eight minutes before they could get a view of the country, the surrounding mountains concealing their view, but when they were at the proper height to see over the mountains they at once bounded homeward.

Speculation is rife as lo tbe next move to be made by the Reading Kailroad and its master spirit, President Gowen. The lease of two railways has been followed by a strong com bination to bull the coal market. The wages of the Schuylkill miners bave been raised in consequence. The details of completing the direct route to New York have been attended to, and now comes a cry of "Westward, Ho," from the Williamsport Qatette and Bulletin, which maps out some new territory for President Gowen to conquer, thus READING B. B.

A GREAT TRUNK LINK, "The extension of the Keading Railroad westward from Williamsport to the lakes is now only a question of time. Mr. Gowen's masterstroke in securing the control of the Bound Brook and North Penn. Railroads gives him a route of his own between New York and Philadelphia, and makes Ihe Keading Railroad one of the great trunk lines of the country with termini at tidewater, both at New York and Philadelphia. It is naturally certaiu, therefore, that Mr.

Gowen's well known determina tion to make the Keading Kailroad one of the greatest lines in the Uniou, will not stop short of the completion of the small piece of railroad between Williams' port anil Port Allegany that will make this line a through route from tbe great lakes lo theses, and give him an immense through traffic both in freight aud passeugers, as well as place his road in competition as a through route from the West 10 the seaboard ports with tbe Pennsylvania, tbe Biltimore and Ohio, the Jirie, and the New York (Jentral. The Keadiug Kailroad thus completed would be a favorite route for passenger travel, owing to the rare beauty of the country through which it passes, and it would prove im mensely profitable, for it would open up for tbe Coal aud Iron Company a Weslern market for its products, from which it has heretofore been excluded. NEW YORK ODTLST BOUTS SURVEYED. For the past week Mr. C.

W. Bucbholz, of the Keadiug Kailroad Company engineer staff, has been engaged in surveying a route for the proposed connection of that Company's Germantown branoh with tbe North Pennsylvania tracks, for the purpose of iorm ing a direct and continuous route to New York from Ihe depot at Ninth and Green streets. "Wayne Station, on the Germantown Railroad, below Germantown avenue," says the Philadelphia Ledger, "was selected as the point of departure, aud Tabor Station, on the Norlh Pennsylvania, as the point of lunction The distance from one road to the other is ninety three hundred feet, or a mile and three quarters. The road, for about a mile east, or until it strikes high ground, will be laid upon trestle work at first, and, subsequently, on made ground. It will be a double track road, laid with steel rails, and at Wayne Station, will be about sixty feet.

A connection to accommodate tbe eoai aud passenger tmftic of the Schuylkill Valley will also be made at tbe same time between the Richmond branch at Nicetown Summit and the Germantown Railroad to Wayne Station, thus enabling passengers from Kead ing, Pottsville, and other places along Ihe main line to go through to New York without traveling from Broad and Callowhill streets to Ninth or Green, or more remote points, as at present. The work here indicated, will not occupy more than two months in completion." Keystone Literary Society's Anniversary.
