Sunshine and clouds - rather pleasant -

Both Collieries idle - R.R. Co not running cars.

Everybody suspended today -

Pay day - Rather early, but Mr. Kishbaugh wants to go away - Jim Kishbaugh and Pat Cuningham at Buck Mountain, and Messrs. H. Kishbaugh and Lattimore at Vulcan - 

On account of two breakers burning down recently, around Wilkesbarre, and being heavily insured with Thompson Derr & Bro., the insurance company has appointed a representative to visit all the Collieries of which they have connection, and see in what condition they are; what facilities they have for to fight fire; what kind of lights are used; etc, etc.. The representative Mr. Ayres and Mr. Jones got off the 8.20 train this morning, and went around the Breaker; drove to Vulcan, and examined that Colliery - Suffice is it to say, that if all other Collieries were as carefully taken care of, and equiped with the fire appliances like our Collieries, they would have a good thing of it as insurance companies -
