GENERAL
KWS
OF
AMOTding to the Wtlkes-Barre
New8dlr th politic! of a railroad
ar mors xolting than th politics of
LoEernt, and th grat Lehigh Valley
it jast now in th throas of th (treat
eat railroad fight ever known. It ia a
tight for control, and the principals are
NDUSTRIES
a, f. wiiDur, president or tue roaa,
S and John B. Garrett, one of th vice
Kling for Is the presidency of the road.
In r'l the railroad romances nothing
ha . ir possessed the atrong bnman
in st that the Lehigh Valler affairs
n, possets. E. P. Wilbnr is a candidate
fo 9-eleetion. His plan is to resign
after his election is secured, in faror of
Robert E. Pattison, who will be presi
dent, and A. A. McLsod, late Beading
magna), will be mad general man
ager. Mr. Wilbur considers McLtod
tn ablest railroad man on eartn, ana
aided by a tool, calculating president
like Pattison at the bead, belierts that
the Valler would be far in the lead. Mr.
Garrett is simply opposed to Mr. Wil
bur's plan, and is the candidate of the
conserrative element wbieh claims tbat
it baa bad entirely too much or Mc
Leod. Th block of stock owned by
the Packer estate, which has been
largely increased in tbe past six months
is voted by aruet composed of E. P.
Wilber, J. B. Garrett, II. .B. Harts
home, R, A. Sayre and James L
Blakesles. v
ail
As it stands three of the trustees' on
rote tbe stosk, and Wilbur has Sayre
with him, while Garrett bai Harts
horns. This makes a tie .with BukeB
lee as the unknown quantity. He is
th most sought after man in the state
today and ia being fsqueeztd by both
aides. He was until recently favorable
to Garrett, and all hia family were at
one time bitter against Wilbur. They
are alleged to have gone out of their
road to attack the Dolicy of E. P. Wil
bur and R. H. Wilbur, but lately they
have been very thick with tbe Wll burs,
ao tbat the chances are that James L
Blakeslee will vote for Wilbur and
that means a new sl&tt, making
tbe President Pattison ; vice-presidents,
R. u. Sayre, and R.
il. Wilbur, Alvan Markle, of
Hnrleton, will likely be a di
rector on th Wilbur slate. John B.
Garrett has contemplated a slate with
Calvin Pardee.of Hazleton, and Charles
Hartshorne as vice presidents, an al
most complete change in the board of
directors, and a "restrictive" policy.
The floating debt of tbe Lehigh Valley is
said to be about $7,250,000, though no
definite statement has been given out.
As before atated tbe odds are in favor
of Wilbur's re-eleetion, though the can
vass for proxies is very exciting, and
recalls forcibly a struggle for the votes
of delegates in a convention by tbe
candidates, and will be more so in a
few weeka. But now all eyes are turned
on James L Blakslee, of Manch
Chunk. He holds the situation in his
bands. "What will he do with it?"
a.
y It is understood that a part of the
new Reading plan is that the holders
of tbe floating debt extend their loans
on the present security for twenty years
provided that income bondholdera take
$4,000,000 of the present collateral trust
bonds at par, the money to be used in
paying oil receivers' certificates. Tbe
general mortgage bondholders shall
agree to aell their coupons for five
years to a syndicate, th proceeds to be
used by the company if necessary. The
stock is to pay a small assessment. It
is said tbe plan may be announced next
week.
Tbe convention of state railway men
at Reading Wednesday afternoon
elected the following officers: Presi
dent, John A. Rig, Reading; vice
president, Robert E. Wright, Allen
town; seoond vice president, G. F.
Greenwood, Pittsburg; secretary, S, P.
Light, Lebanon; treasurer, W. H,
Lanlna, York. The following execu
tive committee was appointed : John A.
Rigg. Reading; S. P. Light, Lebanon;
C. L. Magee, Pittsburg; B. F. Mvers,
Harrisbnrg, and J. J. Patterson, Lan
caster. i
A Johnstown, Pa dispatch says:
"Iron and coke manufacturers bave
demonstrated time and again tbat the
present manufacture of coke in the
bee-bive ovens is such a wasteful one
that only 60 per cent, of the value of
tbe coal is utilized. Coal operators,
iron manufacturers and chemists de
tlded almost two year ago to erect an
improved coke oven system, and their
projeott will be soon carried out. Tbe
iuuy introduced tbe manufacture of
niafffilalaiin from ftovmanw ..,.,-
years ago, has decided to make all the
coke required for its large plant in tbe
new eoke ovens. The first of these
ovens may be in operation within six

alderably reduced coat of labor. The
coke la pushed ont by machinery. About
80 poundi of tar, 2G pounds of sul
phate of ammonia and 8,000 to 4,000
cubic feet of surplus gases, not required
to maiatain the coking process, will be
yielded per ton of coal coked. Tbe
surplus gases might be utilized for
raising steam, lighting, domestio use
or for manntaoturiag purposes. The
waste heat and gases of the ovens,
whish enter tbe chimney with 420 de
grees of heat, might alao be used for
raising steam for running tbe ooke
plant Th Cambria company is not
the only one to have tbe new coke
ovens. The New England States will
bave several mammotb plants to secure
the by-prodncts and surplus gnses.
Manufaotnrer of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois, Tennessee, Nebraska and even
San Francisco Will mslre mire In aiml.
lar ovens in order to utilizs the fnll
value of tbe eoal. Th demand for
sulphate of ammonia is almost nnlim
i ited, and the erection of by-product
' coke ovena will create new and remu
nerative chemical industries and fur
nish to the farmers a cheap fertilizer."
Boston capitalists want to bnild an
leotrio railway between Harrisbnrg
and Philadelphia, 103 miles, cars to
run at the' rate of ninety miles an
hour. Tbe syndicate provides that the
Traction company shall give bonds to
seoure tbe cost of tbe work, which
shall not be accepted until it gives en
tire satisfaction. Tbe proposition in
cludes tbe construction of the line,
power bouses and entire equipment.
The estimate of the cost is $8,000,000.
A week Is given the Traction company
to consider tbe proposition. The rate
of speed of tbe average passenger train
on the steam railroads Is abont half
tbat contained in the Boston syndicate's
proportion. -
Ia connection with ' the remarkable
movement of traffic now in progress
over the Pennsylvania railroad system,
bringlntt into active service everv car
owned by the company. General Agent
Latta calls attention to Monday's un
precedented eoal . tonnage. "At
Greenwiob," he said, "we voloadsd C04
ears of bitaaalaona coal; la all about
18,000 tons. This la tbe haavle.it day's
bnsinesa in soft coal in th history of
th company. Most of th eoal goes
est to b atorsd np for th winter." In
view of tbe heavy freight movement
the Pennsylvania railroad has asked for
bids for tbe constrnction of- 500 box
oara for tbe western lines. These will
take place of the equipment destroyed
during tbe strike. Tbe coal tonnage
for tbe Reading railroad for the week
ended Sept.l, amounted to 252,713 tona,
against 209,233 tons for the same week
last year, an increase of 43.479 tons.
For the vear to date tbe tonnage aggre
gated 8,743 021 tons, a decrease as com
pared with the corresponding period
last year of 850,937 tons.
The annual meeting of the New
York, Susquehanna and Western rail
road was held at Jersey City Thursday.
Tbe old board of ' directors was re
eleoted with the exception of R K.
Dow, who was suceeded by H. E. Flsk.
Tbe report covering tbe period lrom
May 1, 1893, to June 30. 1894 was road.
During that time 1,387,980 tons of an
thracite eoal were transported, an in
crease of 210 000 tons. Gross earnings
wer $2,088,143; expnies, $1 184,423;
and net earnings, $903,713.

J. W. Crellin's Silver Brook stripping
resumed worlt at noon on Tuesday, after
a few days suspension for want of water.
Average prices of coal at the mines in
Schuylkill in August was 12.28 8-10 as com
pured with ?2.:M in August, 1893; 2 6U in
August, 1893, and $3.1:5 ia August, 1891.
Despite the water scarcity in the Con
nellsville coke region, tue output last week
was increased materially; over 1,000 new
ovens were tired up and the increase in
produotion whb 14,000 tons.
The Chicago Herald says that central
traffic lines have become very tired of
their incipient rate war, and at today's
meeting there is every prospect of an all
round advance in rates and tbelr mainten
ance until the spasm of good sense is again
broken.
Tho gradiogof Van Wickle's new branch
to Beaver Meadow is complete with the
exception of a large slate bank near Bea
ver Meadow. The only drawback to the
speedy completion of tbe branch will be
the construction of a trestle at the Tresc

ALMOST OUT OF THE WORLD.
the SwaBetaas, Cnj4.as Faople Living
1b th HoMt ot tbe Caaeuas.
Before tbe Ajittaxopologioal society of
Bt. Peteraburg: a masnber. Dr. Olderoatge,
read an interesting paper tm tbe results of
bis explorailone ia the beard of Cancaala,
lie bad penetrated where few explorers
had bean before. He came to Swaneta,
a long but narrow Valley at the foot
of the Elbura mountain, through which
the river logoora winds. For most of tho
year Swaneta Is isolated entirely from tbe
world, and even in the summer season the
mountain passes leading to the locality are
made extremely dangerous by water cur
rents, avalanches and falling rocks.
There is a strange semi-savage people in
the valley numbering about 9,000 families.
They subsist on their chase for wild ani
mals, of which there is an abundance in
the mountains, and in tbe mild season of
tbe year plant jast as much grain as is re
quiredfortheirimmedlutenecessity. Every
now aud then a Swanetan will wander
away from his secluded home Into a more
civilized neighborhood to sell a few bides
and to get in exchange a few things that
he misses in his native valley, such as
cloth, cotton fabrics and some articles of
apparel.
But this he docs very seldom and with
great unwillingness, for his needs are few
and his native valley has made him love
isolation. They speak a dialect the princi
pal element of whbh is corrupt Georgian,
with Persian and Kirgtiese terms of speech
strongly intermixed. They are of a pacific
nature and extremely shy of strangers.
Dr. Oldcrogge introduced himself to them
ns a hawker, and, trying to trade with
them, drew them into conversation and
made his studies and observations.
The dress and manner of living of the
Swanetuns present a striking contrast to
the dwellings they occupy. They cover
their bodies with hides in the winter and
go about half naked in the warm. season of
the year; of cleanliness and coraibrs they
know notliing, and there are no luxuries
among them. But they live in ancient
castles of magniflccntcoustruction, though
more than half ruined. There is quite a
number of such castles in the mountains
that encircle the Swanetan valley. The
Swanetuns have a sort of writing, aud thoir
folk lore is rich in curious traditions and
quaint legends, pointing to a time when
their intercourse with the world was more
frequent than at present, and when they
ranked among tho strong and civilized
peoples of the region.
But all this is dying out with them.
They worship four divinities and sacrifice
animals unto them. Their conceptions of
those deities are strikingly suggestive of
corrupted notions of the Trinity and the
Virgin, and indicate that they were ouce
Christians, but lapsed into heathenism be
fore Christianity took deep root among
tlicin. They are strangers to all that we
accept as sociul morality. There is a ter
rible percentage among them of lunatics,
idiots, cretins, epileptics, and thosu
stricken with cognate, physical and nerv
ous diseases.
Tho physical deformities of the Swane
tuns aru commensurate with their moral
deterioration, and show that they must
have lived as they live now for many gen
erations. Their beads are flattened at the
back aud abnormally elongated in tbe
temples; they are marked with strong
prognutism and with diasthem of both the
upper and lower, teeth. As a consequence
of cretinism, which is prevalent among
them, nearly all the Swanetans bave
goitres, which begin to develop at a very
early age. New York Sun.
Preferred Captivity.
Our pet goldfinch, having escaped from
his cage, flew into a tall allanthus tree in
the back yard. There be sat, singing bis
sweetest and rejoicing in bis unexpected
freedom. We brought out his gilded cage
and set it on the top of a tall stepladder,
leaving the door open, and just inside a
cup of tempting hempseed. For two hours
he scorned to look at it, though he often
fixed bis bright little eyes on us when we
called bim, aud answered with a cheery,
defiant "witsuih!" We had almost given
up hope of ever getting him back, when it
occurred to ua to ring his breakfast bell-
in other words, to rattle up the hempseed
in tho tin box whore it was kept.
This was a sound ho understood, as we
had long made it a practice thus to an
nounce breakfast to his flnchshlp. Fort
unately he bad nothing to eat when be
flew away, and the well known sound sug
gested seed, water and lettuce to the little
empty stomach, so he hopped down slowly
from bough to bough, until he was close
to the cage. Thero he stood for some time,
evidently hesitating, until suddenly be
fluttered down into his borne, having de
cided to abandon the delights of liberty
for tbe solid comforts of civilization.

Mr. William Moulton, of this town, bos
in his possession two old guns which arc
remarkable in their way. One was carried
by bis great-grandfather, Timothy Kings-
ley, In tbe campaign against Burgoyne's
invasion, and he was present with it on the
memorable 17th of October, 1777, when the
young English adventurer lnid down bis
arms. Mr. Kingsley nsed to say that "it
was tbe grundest sight be ever saw." Mr.
Moulton also has a gun carried in the
French and Indian war by Captain Dur
kee, of Ashford, which was afterward car
ried in the Revolution by bis great-uncle,
Captain William Moulton. Both of these
arms are in substantially the same condi
