Jo the Philadelphia Hn.l Eteadltitf r
ceiversbip, will to lay file, a report In
tbe Unite ! Sttttei eircuit conrt rooom
menJin(f the dismissal of the petition
of Isaac J. Rice, which was filed last
December, and upon which numeiioiu
heariuRs were held. Mr. Rice asked
that the receivers bo dismissed for al
iened dereliction of duty and that ex
President McLsod be held responsible
for alle;,vd Huston mid Maine nnd Now
York and New Euglaud stock transac
tions. As was expected, the Loliiuh Valley
Riilroiid company will not pay Buy
dividend to ttoclcbolderi in July. In
Huio gone by the quarterly' dividend
has always been deefarod at the regu
lar monthly meeting of tho direoton
on the second Tuesday of June, but the
subject was not oven dilOUtwd at yesi
terday'g nwcting of the loard. In
passing tho dividend the directors are
merely sontlnnlng tho conservative
policy adopted at tue tim.1 tlie lease of
the Lehigh Valley lo the Reading was
abrogated.
The first consignment of southern
pig metal ever brought to New C istle,
P.,, arrived recently for tbe Baldwin
& Graham Stove works, It was pur
chased in Alabama, There is a coal
and coke famine in New Castlo as
well ai a metal famine. At the Atlan
tic furnace 12,000 tons of metal are
being held for higher prices.
According to the Record, tho new
Maxwell sh f t at Ashley is down 5S"i
feet, and will be contiecttd with till
Baltimore vein next month. This shaft
is the largest in the world, iti alas
being 13 feet wide by 34 feat long in
tire ciear. It Wi sunk 83 feet In
width and 70 feet in length troin tbe
saiface to tue rock, and its sides, from
the rock tO the surface, were WAlltd up
with timber and concrete and heavy
stone six leet iu width. From the
llaltituore to tbe Red A"h win,
a distance nt about o'JO feet,
the shaft will b 12 leet Wide
by 37 leut -1 inches in the clear. Con
siderable work has been done iu ar
ranging for tbe foot of the shaft in tbe
Baltimore vein, and outlets therefrom
have been provided through tht work
ings of tho Jersey colliery f the
Wilkes Birro Coal company tnnneli
from the foot of tho Maxwell shaft in
iu the Baltimore vein to tbe K st or
Red Ash Veins, and a large number of
gaugwaye opened therein. An OQtSide
Mope has also been located near the
Maxwell breaker ami sunk to the Hill
man vein, and over 2,000 feet of gang
ways have been driven in this vein.
The sinking of t ie shaft from tho Btl
timore vein to tbe Red Ah vt-iu (fill
be continued without iuteruption to
tbe hoisting of tho coal tributary to
the shaft in the Baltimore vein.
The following are the veins and thoir
thlcknesj of workable coal whicb will
be opanad bf the Maxwell shaft: Kii
'iny, G feet; Hillm.iii. 7 feet; Stanton,
3 feel; Fivo Foot, 4 feet, Baltimore,
14 feet; Skidmore, i feet; Ross, 7 teet,
and Red Ash, 0 feet a total of 54 feet
of woikable coal. A conservative
estimate of the coal that will be tribu
tary to this colliery, under present
methods of mining, is placed at 31,000, -0U0
tons, whicb would give a life to
the colliory of about fifty years. All
of this coal will be derived from lunds
owued in fee by tbo Lehigb and
Wilkes-Barre Coal company. The
nine cars of coai on being
lioisW to the surface will bs
run by gravity over the now Maxwell
sliuft and slope to the large breaker re
cently erected at this colliery. This
breaker will have a daily capacity ol
about 1,000 tons and the shipments
therefrom are exoeoted to be anv where
from 000,000 to 1.000,000 tons per year
The Maxwell breaker is built some
what oftor tho plan of the mammoth
South Wilkes-Barre breaker, and it h is
been provided with the most perfect
and economical machinery now iu ue
In preparing unthracite coal lor mar
ket. A large pair of hoisting engine.-,
and drums will shortly be erected at
ttie shaft for hoistiug tbe coal from
the Baltimore vein to the surface.
A dispatch from Chicago ssyi: The
Western Passenger association has
practically decided to declaro a boycott
against the Lake Erie and Western
road unless that lino agrees to with

publican clubs, which will be beld in
Denver the latter part of this month.

summer excursion, agreement was
made between the association lines,
declared that they wero unable to cur
out their portion of the contract. Not
withstanding this notice the Lako Erie
and Western has continued to an
nounce that the rate is still in effect.
Ibe association lines have now iu
formed it that unless it promptly is
sues notice that the late has been can
celled no line of the Western Passen

allotment Ol a per cent, of the western

siat rigidly upu 12 per cent, as its share,
in consideration of its withdrawal of the
cut rate tickets with which tho country
Wai recently U.ioded. This is more than
tbo other companies are likely to concede,
as it means a reduction of their percent
ages in tho ratio' of thu lucreusa to the Le
high Valley.
False t His Srdst.
A laughable incident occurred at the
Lake Erie depot the ot her afternoon. Tho
members of a brass band were waiting for
n train. They adjourned across tho street,
leaving their Instruments; in care of n boy.
lie proved unfaithful to his trust, and
after trying his band or mouth rather at
playing on each of tho instruments be
went to join somo other boys who were
celebrating outside. They had captured n
small curly haired dog and were debating
what to do with him.
The newcomer suggested that they tie a
bunch of crackers to hla tall. This waa
done, and n hen the crackers began to fizz
and pop, tbo dog, with a wild howl of ter
ror, dashed into the .waiting room, scatter
ing sparks and yelpa us he went and'
plunged bend hrst into a bl? brats horn
which the boy h:;d left lying on thu lloor.
With such force did he project himself
Into tiio tapering bell of the horn that he
stuck fast, and when the owner returned
he found it fail Of dog and exploding fir
crackers, which sounded like cannons iu
the cavernous depths of thu brazen laeiru
ment. The boy had disappeared. Pittaburg

CimkI Authority.
German commentators are Raid to find in
Shakespeare's plays many things which
the author novcrdn.anied of. pattingthere.
And if German .scholars may do this, why
not an English schoolboy?
The late .Major Iiarlteiot was educated
at Rugby, and a still remembered there aj
the hero of a funny blunder.
"What Is the meaning of the word
adage-' " asked the muster.
V.-.rious wild guesses werl hazarded by
different members of tho class, und then it
came young Burttolot'a turn. Without
hesitation bl replied:
"A platt to put cats into."
Every one laughed, and the master, whe
was ns much mystified aa his pupils by till
strange answer, called the boy up at. tbl
end of tbe lesson and asked what had ptil
such an idea into bis head.
"Why, sir," said Harttelot, "doesn't it
say lnJ3hnkespearn, 'Like the poor cat in
the adage i'' "Youth's Companion.

Or don't you notice the difference in our prices,
and tho prices usually charged even by the
stores that claim to sell very low. Why the
simple fact is we are away below any store in
this valley. Yes, we repeat we are away be
low any concern in this valley or in the state
in prices on first class good3 so far as we can
learn. We do not handle a large line of fancy
goods, but we do have a big stock and full as
sortment of strictly FIIiST CLASS staple
goods. Nor do we use any one or two articles
as bait to draw trade. Our plan is to cut the
prico on everything just as much as we possi
bly can so that you will very seldom find a
cingle article in our store that we are not sail
ing for less than it can be bought anywhere
else and furthonnore while we are always do
in our best to gat at and keep the prices down
we never for a moment loose sight of quality.
No article can come into cur store unless it i3
at least standard quality but is much oftoner
EXTfiA than otherwise,
We have a large trade and we often think
vhen wo put the selling price on an article and
know what the same goods are invariably sold
at that it is strange why we do not sell all the
goods in our lino that is sold in tho city and
have to conclude that it certainly is not on ac
count of quality or price, but must be for some
other reason. While we did not intend to
quote any prices in this article we will men
tion a few just to prove what we say and see
if you don't wonder also if what we say i3 cor
rect why we do not sell all or nearly all of the
goods sold. Of course each dealer has friends
who trade with him for friendships sake know
ing all the time that they are loosing money
by so doing. Now while we appreciate friend
ship yet we want every person who buy3 good3
of us to be fully satisfied that they get good
value for their money or wo would actually
prefer to miss the trade. But here are some
prices as proof of our statements, we avoid
the large articles simply to show that we do
not confine our low prices to some of the lead
ing articles:
Ganned Tomatoes, extra quality, usually sold at
24c, we are selling for 8&
Bartlett's Shoe Blacklng,larga box, regular price,
10c; wo give 3 boxes for 10c,
Vienna Bread, large loaf, neve- sold less than
10c.; you cm buy it from us 2 loaves for 15c,
Fancy Table Butter, that sells for 20 to 25c, we
offer at 17c
Tea that brings 75c a pound and in some stores
$1, we only ask 45c
And Tea that sells for 40c you can buy from us
at 19c.
Gloss Starch, pound packages, worth 8c, we will
sell at 4,
Corn Starch, also is usually sold at 8, we sell it at
And a 3-pound can of G'oss Starch that you
would have to pay 25 for anywhere else, you
can buy of us at 14c
Abie's Pie Preparation, always sold for 10c, or 3
for 2b, we offer you at 5c
Cigars that could not b3 bought elsewhere for
less than $1,25 a box, we sell at 60c.
And aside from offering goods much lower
than any other establishment in the state wo
believe we have one of the most complete
stocks of groceries in the state. Whenever
anything new in our line comes on the market
and has merit we add it to our stock. We
wholesale a great many goods and at figures
lower than exclusive wholesale houses. Our
cigar and tobacco stock is complete. Our tea
and coffee contains as fine a line of both as can
be brought together. Our confectionary stock
includes the fine grades in abundance as well
as the more staple varieties of confection. Ve
serve as fine Soda Water at 3c a glass as can
be had in the city at any price. In our butcher
shop we handle as much and as fine a grade of
beef and other meat3 as any in Scranton and
from 2 to 4 cents a pound lower than any shop
in the city. On Tuesdays', Thuusdays' and
Saturdays' we have a full assortment of green
vegetables 25 per cont below market rates.
Finally we think we are sefe in saying that
we give mora and better goods for the money
that any concern in Pennsylvania. Here are
some of the reasons we have for wondering
why we do not sell all or nearly all of he
groceries sold in Scranton. Come and see if
you can fine us misrepresenting facts in any
of the above assertions. We would like to
have your trade or part of it and will make it
worth your while to buy of us.
