THE SCR ANTON FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 24, 1894. GENERAL HEWS OF Apropos of tb fact, now well us sored, that tbe present year will wit ness the incorporation of a greater number of electrio railways in this state than at any time since tbe adop tion of electricity as a motive power, tbe Philadelphia Stockholder perti nently questions whether . there is not clanger lest tbis one branch of indus trial activity should soon be overdone. Of course, mauy of tbe charters granted for alleged electrical pur poses exist for the most part of tbe one purpose of attracting capital out of competitive pockets. But all tbis duly discounted, tbere yet remains in inimy quarters a proneness to exaggerate the earning capacity of trolley street rail ways. Our Philadelphia contemporary opportunely points out that iu several localities duplicate or parallel roads are contemplated, and in case tbey are bnilt it wiii mean a fight to the finish a "survivul of the fittest." Tbe fenr that too many new lines are being bnilt has already bad an effect upon capital at interior points; it is less resdy to go into such schemes, and efforts are now being made to secure ouUide capital. At present this is a comparatively easy matter, becnuae electrio railway e curitles are just now regarded as safe investments. Caution, however, should be usad in supporting these new rends, as electrio railways pay only where the trafflo exists. The old Fuller breaker at Wyoming, which had been idle for five years, will again resume It is owneJ by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western aud was drowned out about five years ago and has not worked a day since. Tbe breaker has been leased by tbe Wyoming Valley Coal company, wliich was recently chartered at Ilurrisburg. There is a large tract of coal land here which the Wilkes-Barre Record says Ins not been touched, and it Is the iu teution of then company to mine this coal. On Wednesday a gang of nien were put to work cleaning up around the breaker to get it in readiness. Jobu Morgan, of Wyoming, has charge of the men. Among its interesting "scenes in tbe coal regions" the Coal Trade Journal prints tbis week a half-tone view of Oxford colliery, concerning which it s.ys: "The. mine was opened by S. T. Scranton & Co, They named It Oxford uf ter the town in New Jersey, where they then owned extensive iron works. They conveyed the property to the Delaware, Lnkawanna and Western Railroad company in 1SC3. It is oper ated by two shafts. The breuker is somewhat smullsr ttiau the more modern plants of the company, having capacity of 600 tons daily, The col liery employes 411 men and boys. The coal is mined from the Rock, Big and New County veins." It is expected, on all hands, that there will be a revival of industrial pursuits at an early day. In many lines of business the wbeels ore once more in motion. All this, says 'Stw wiird, should help to the consumption of fuel, The Reading railroad's exoursion Lusiness tbis year is reported to be con siderably heavier than it was last sum mer, and will compare favorably with 1603. Six excursions were run within tbe last ten days, which netted the company no less than $-0,000, and they were only ".i drop in the bucket" aud did not include any short distance ex cursions wbatever, or wbich tbere were di.ily u large number. The company's business bus not only improved on this line of traffic, however, but shows a general increase, in frvight as well as pnsienger, and the indications are for still beavier movement from this time forward. Any material improvement iu the anthracite markets means that the company will end tbe year con siderably ahead of 1893. Tbe statement of shipments of an thracite coal (approximated) for the week ended Aug. 1, compared with the corresponding period lust year is us follows: Am.'. l, Avg. 19, leM. ML I)c Region. Tons.

The ground for sidings has Hlready been surveyed at Tresckow, and ss both roads run parallel for a distance and at the - same grade tbere will be no expense incurred furtber tban laying a few switches and several hundred feet of track where empty and loaded cars ean be stored. Having the Jersey Central, the Lehigh Valley and the Philadelphia and Reading lines to furnish them with cars and transport shipments to tidewater, tbe Coleraine colliery can work overtime tbe yoar nround. Superintendent Kaerchor stated recently to a Hazleton Standard reporter that with the contemplated improvements consumated, wbich is chiefly tbe opening of four large strip pings, the plant will readily send 1,800 tons of coal a day to market. The foundation walls for a mammoth breaker are btine; constrneted near Llewellyn, Schuylkill county, by the Albright Coal company. The oolliery will be a model of perfection when completed and will have a shipping cspscity of over 2,000 tons a day. T. U. Griffith, of the Exeter Machine works, at Pittston, furnished tbe de signs for the new plant and they are modern in every way. The site of the new breaker is at Silverton oolliery and only a abort distanoe from Llewellyn, The new enterprise will boom that town and give a great number of idle men employment. It is only as tbere is a nearer ap proach to coal-consuming weather, says Saward, that tbe anthracite coal trade can be recorded as in better Condition or likely to be so. Tbe production of coal daring the months of June and July was such as to dissipate all the possibilities of good trade for tbe sea son of 18S The restriction which bus been pnt in force durisg the month of August, and which should be con tinued for some time forward say two months longer is hardly sufficient to enable the producers to keep the price which , has been made, or to attain thereto. Wherever one goes the supply of ooal in the yards and tbe usual places of deposit Is quite large; some of the retailers claim tnat tbey have made tbeniual delivery, while others are of the'opinlon that there Is a good trade throughout the winter montbs. It is to be hoped that the latter are the 1 INDUSTRIES more correct In their view of the situa tion. - Minor Industrial Note's: The Beading railroad is painting all its stations in the Lebanon.

AN ENCitlSH - VIEW OF THEIR AC TIONS AND MANNERS. There Is No Need of Travelers from America Stopping at English Hotels, llecauie Homes ltuu Upon the Ameri can Flau Are Numerous and Good. One of the glaring anomalies observable iu the uctionsof wealthy Americans who come to Ixmdou in these days Is that they utmost invariably stay at the old fashioned hotels conducted upon the knulisn plan. And not only do tbey select those wliich aro merely different in their style of gen eral management from American hotels, but eagerly seek admittance to those whose ways und customs would have been an tiquuted in tbe reign uf Queen Anne and are renowued for the observance of all those petty rules which make the lives of the English upper classes ridiculous iu tho eyes of tho rest of the world, but without which thero are some people who fervently believe the nation would not bo safe nor the crown secure. Why Americans should do this is past comprehension, unless it be the result of that blind infatuation for everything Kng lish which is the controlling principle of the Anglomaniuc's existence. It cm not bo because they like it really like it. If It lie done for the gratification of curiosity purely nml only we might be e.blo to under stand it. If American ladies mill gentle men of large and unlimited means want to see what a characteristic English hotel is hue, anil go to it so to see, It is one thing. But if they go because English people go to it, and that, therefore, it must be "tho correct thing to do, don't you know," it is quite another. I am afraid tho latter mo tive controls tho whole business. AMERICAN' HOTELS IN LONDON'. All I can say is it is pitiful and enough to bring a blush of shume to the faces of real Americans. It is not as if there were 110 hotels iu Loudon conducted on tho American plan, and, its iu tho days when George Wilkes wrote "Europe in a Hurry," thero were nothing but dark nnd dingy little English hotels to go to. But thero are dozens of hotels such as are the rule iu America and under the roofs of which you would be justiiled in supposing an Ameri can lady or gentleman would feel thor oughly at home. At uny one of the modem hotels any American, with an American love of com fort, might bo couteutcd. There they can linve hot and cold water, bathrooms, a billiard room, an elevator nnd a talde d'hote. Everything (with perhaps a slight i.nglisb tinge) which they are accustomed to in America they can have at these hotels. Vet Americans seem to prefer the opposite. Instead of going to the sort of hotels they have been used to nil their lives, und their fathers before them tho sort of hotels which even some openmimled English people nrn generous enough to admit are the best hotels in the world they turn their backs upon them and rush to Long's, Claridge's and Morloy's, where they are no more really at home than a bird would be in a cage. Asa rule, the better classes in England do not stay at hotels in London. Some do, of course, but the majority have town residences of their own, and when in Lon don during the season they live in them. But sometimes, when obliged to bo in town when the season is over, they may go for a night or two to a hotel and to hotels such as Long's and Claridge's. HOTELS ENGLISHMEN PHEFER. But they go to hotels of this kind simP' ly because they prefer them, aud they pre- lcrthem because they have always been accustomed to them. They would sooner walk up stairs than be carried up by a "lift;" they would rather have their bath in a portable tnb by their bedside than in the mast elaborately appointed bathroom; they would sooner shave themselves than go down to the hotel barber shop, aud are decidedly happier with a small can of hot water, brought up by the chambermaid, than they would be if drawing it them selves from a silver plated tap. Tho very things they do not liko in a hotel Ameri cans do (or ought to); the very things they do like Americans do not (or ought not to). Vet is all reversed directly Americans come to London. Another thing: It costs a lot more money to stay at Long's or Claridire's than at the American hotels or rather those English hotels which arc kept 011 the American plan. Besides which, all aud every of the great swells of high life, when ever they may be compelled to go to a Lon don hotel, always go to Long's or Clar- idge s, or one of the other leadiugWest End "family" hotels. In which case their arrivals and departures are carefully chronicled and published in tho "Fashion able Intelligence" column of The Morning Post. Tho American plan hotels do not soar to this height. "SWAGGER" PEOPLE ABROAD. The great puzzle to Englishmen in this respect is why Americans want to show off in England. They can understand their liking to live well and have nice things and to live in good houses as they them selves do; but what they do not compre hend is why they do not prefer America to to swugger in. English "swagger," in its truest sense and meaning, is indulged in only in England. I allude, of course, to the best people. They swagger at home because it is perfectly legitimate that they should. It is their right and privilege und habit to do swagger things and to bo thought very swagger by people beneath them. It is the snobs who swagger when they go abroad on the astouish-the-native principle. They cannot swagger at home and so they go abroad. On tho other haud, the really swagger people in England are quiet, unobtrusive aud simple when they travel, or go to stay anywhere out of England, li you see a man traveling with half a dozen servants, showing up at every station and a great row and noise going on whenever he makes bis appearance, bo sure he is a retired tailor or butter maker. The dukes nnd earls go about like other people. They keep their swagger for their own country, nnd do not assert themselves abroad. Therefore, they cannot imagine why Ameri cans who have a standing at home are not content with it. I suppose you might talk nnd write till doomsday, but you could not hope to im press these American swaggerers nbroad with the utter "bad form," in English eyes, of the things they do. Of course, they have a right to do what they like, if they can pay for it. But because a man is able to pay for a thing is not a justification for his doing it or having it. London Cor.
