THE SCKANTON "TRIBUNE TUESDAY , MORHTNG. SEPTEMBER 11,-1894. 7 GEtlERAL NEWS OF INDUSTRIES Railway managers agree in laying that tha demand for freight aara ia steadily i a or eating, and tbey expeot to see their rolling atock In (all use within month. No great gain in the pas aenger traffic ia anticipated for the present, bat ae by far the larger por tion of earnlnga cornea from freight, it ia that branch of business whieh in re garded with tht oloieat attention. Epeaklog of the reported find of an threoite coal in Damaacns township, Wayne county, tbe Honesdale Herald aya: "A contract haa been made with aome expert drillers to sink a well at least 800 feet deep, to more thoroughly teat its preieooe in that neighborhood. If coal in paying quan tities should ba found on thia aide of the Hoosic, tbe disoorery wonld be another hard nut for tbe geologists to crack. Tbey claim that oar minerals, it we erer bad any, were dag oat or scraped away by the big ieebergj dur iDg tbe glacial period. Whether tbe eoientista are correot or not ia a ques tion that some of the prominent busi ness men of Damaioas are determined to find out" William a Spelrr, the Lehigh Rail road company's western freight agent, with office at Chicago, has resigned, and E. J. Henry haa been appointed by General Trafflo. Manager Taylor as hla successor, Mr. Henry baa been the local agent at Chicago of the Lehigh Valley Transportation company for aome years, and takea into bia new po rtion a large experience. He bas re cently been aetlng as export agent for all tbe lake lines controlled by the trunk line railroad companies. At western freight agent, lie will have charge of tbe Lehigh Valley's east bound business, both all rail and lake end rail. ... v The prolonged Issue between the Le high Valley railroad and the Trunk Lines association haa practically re sulted in a victory for the former. Too Lehigh Valby claimed ttbat tbe per centage of passenger business nllowed by tbo association waa inadequate. nd, with tbe view of forcing a more liberal allowance, it placed tbouiaada of cut-rate tickets on sale in its numer ous offices. Tbe effect was not unex pected. Competing lines united in a vigorous protest to the Trunk Line as sociation. The Lehigh Valley, how ever, refused to witbdraw ita eut-rate tickets, and through General Traffic Manager Taylor practically told tbe association that the war would end only by the exercise of a more liberal polioy toward bis company. The steadfast policy won tbe tight. Tbe association yielded, deciding that the Lehigh Valley's altotmeot on all busi ness in tbe Central Trafflo association territory waa to be increased from 8 to 5 per cent, and on tbe business to Buf falo and Canadian pointa the percent age was to be increased from 8 to 8 per cent The last inns of the Financial Chron icle contains a lengthy article from from whiob one can get aome idea of the intensity of tbe depressing influ ences nnder which transportation busi ness suffered the first six months of 1894. .While tbe losses in earnings have been distributed all over tbe conntry, s few of the large systems bave sustained phenomenal decreaaes. Tbe Penniylvanla (eastern and western linen combined) bas fallen over $12,. 230.000 behiud; the Atchlfon and the Union Pacific each over $5,000,000, the Burlington and Qalney. $3,375,000; tbe Northern Pacific, $3,500,000; the Erie ver $3,000,000; tbe Reading nearly $3 100,000; the New York Central, $2,750 000: the Baltimore and Obio,$2.750.000; the St. Paul, tbe Lake Shore and the Southern P.cifio each $2,500,000; tbe Missouri Pacific and the Chicago end Northwestern, eaeh over $2,000000; the Great Northern, $1,750,000; the Louisville and Nashville,$l,600,000,eto. David H. Fisher, of Mt. Carmel, baa invented a mine ventilating fan which is highly apoken of. Mr. Fisher ex perience as a miner taught mm tbat tbe deeper the mines became the stronger tbe current of air should necessarily be. At the same time he found tbat one of the great problems of the day waa the proper manipulation of these currents. To this end be la bored zealously for a time and baa been awarded in the completion, construct ing and patenting of a powerful aerew propelling ventilator. One of tbe feat ures that miners will appreciate ia that by reversing the engine you reverae the air, thus keeping tall control of the current. Imbedded la the frame of tbe fan la an upright engine wbish will be a mean of economy in room and In building ...

The Pennsvlvania company Is expending a large sum of money in decorating tbe Union station at Pittsburg for tbe Grand Army of tbe Republic encampment. One of the Vanderbilts is quoted as sav ins that tbe Appointment of D. W. Cald well as general manager of tbe Lake Shore was only temporarily, be being tbe most available man at the present time. O. M. Banks, who for somo time has been agent of tbe Lake Erie and Western at Blullton, has accepted tbe position ot chief clerk of tbe general superintendent of the Pullman company at Chicago. Lehigh Valley officials say that tbe vol ume nf general merchandise trafflo is highly satisfactory; every box car they own is lu use.

Tbe Reading company is still pushed for gondola cars and has borrowed a number Irom tbo Jersey Central road in order to accommodate the trade.

Uere Ia Men Who Has Little Faith In tbe Judgment of Headers. "I have had something to do with the business of story writing In my time, both as a producer and a judge ot other people's work," said a man of letters. "Tbe latter occupation I nnally abandoned, because the labor of inspecting manuscript con tributions in bulk was too wearing. I don't think it la fonnd particularly so, aa a rule, by readers for magazines, because they ne glect it. Often it is Impossible tbat It should be otherwise. One great monthly In New York oity receives 1,200 manuscripts every week in the year. It ita reading staff was multiplied by aix proper exomimation could not be given to them all. Aa it la, it is tbe exception that ia so fortunate as to be looked at. 1 "Persona send contributions to the big magazines with the notion that they will be read. Tbey are victims of a delusion, usually. I, who haveseeo the Inside works of such concerns, say it. Tbe task ot get ting through the vast number of manu scripts submitted is so hopeless that little more la attempted with the great majority than to return them, ordinarily after many days. If yon are at all known by reputa tion your offering ia likely to be inspected, but not otherwise. "Games have often been tried upon the great monthlies for the purpose of seeing whether this waa so or not. George W. Cable, the famous author, published the results of a few such experiments of his own awhile ago. lie sent two or three of his stories, uuder an assumed name, the rounds of the New York magazines. They were refused by every one found 'not available' whereupon he dispatched them over bia own signature, and tbey were promptly accepted. "Before he achieved hla reputation be was unable to secure tbe printing ot many of tbe tales which have since come to bo re garded as classical. 'Poason Jone' waa hawked about the metropolis in vain; not an editor would buy it. It was this early experience which led Mr. Cable to bin sub sequent experiments, the result ot which pointed to the conclusion that a contribu tion offered to one of these monthlies bad scarcely the slightest show upon its merits unless a known name was attached to it. "Several years ago when I was alto gether unknown I myself used to try some little tricks upon the magazine readers, such as putting the smallest possible daub of glue between two of the pages of my manuscript or turning one of tbe leaves upside down. Invariably upon the return of the contribution I would find tbe two pages still stuck and tbe turned leaf as be fore, proving that It really bad not been in jected. It was discouraging, though not so much so as to auppoae that my work had been fairly read by an expert and pro nounced not worth publishing. You may try the trick yourself, and you will find that it will go every time. "On one occasion I sent a story to a cer tain important monthly, entitled 'The Crystal Hall.' The editor returned it with tbe usual thanks, saying: 'We are sorry to find tbat your contribution called "The Cheerful Bull" ia not available for our pur pones.' It reminded me ot the famous translation of 'Triste Lupus,' by a class mate of Tom Brown at Rugby, aa 'The Sorrowful Wolf.' "I wish I could remember all the funnv things I came across in the manuscript submitted to me for perusal when for a time I served as reader for a magazine. There was one story that reached ita dra matic climax when the hero and his family were besieged in a wooden cabin by Indiana. The savages, several hundred In number, had lighted a fire all around the dwelling and were breaking in though the roof with axes. At this critical juncture the hero re marked thoughtfully 'It la time that we es caped.' "Washington Star. Flexible Glass Interior Conduit. Aa new residences and new buildings 01 all kinds are now almost always wired tor current, the matter ot an efficient interior conduit that shall have flexibility, insula tion and ability to resist fire has com.i to be of tbe utmost importance. Such a con duit will even allow of an installation be ing made in an old building without undue cutting ot tbe walls. The best insulatoi in use is glass, and a glass conduit which Is at the same time flexible and waterproof nas exoepuonai advantages. Such a conduit was shown at the elec trical exhibition in Providence, where a section of it was connected with a lighting circuit and passed through a glass tube tilled with water. Thia tube was bent twice at right angles lu a sharp curve, thue showing the great flexibility and water proof qualities of the conduit. Tbe con duit is inclosed in a string woven jacket, which gives it a high tensile strength aud a strong abrasion resistance, and the whole la then soaked in an Insulating material. The systems of connections is simple, and its cost ia small. New York Commercial Advertiser. -Tfie Boy's Idea. This is a story that goes to ahow what the association of ideas or perhaps it would better be called tbe association oi words without ideas will bring' about in the mind of a child. Hart a seven years old, told bis mother with glee aoout a new playmate whose namewae Douglas. "Is he Douglas, tender and truer" wsaeu uia ijipioar. "I'll ask bian." said Pnrl mvl;iu.lr The next day he came back to hit mother. "Will you write down what you said yesterday about Douglas?" he said to 1.1 .1 111a muiiuur. "What did I say yesterday p she In quired, "I have forgotten." "Well, you write and I'll tell you. Writ Douirlas'" Rim did "Now write what he was 'rare and iat."' Alas for the tmetrv nf thn nl! "Tender and true" hod suggested a piece ol steak to the child. New York Evening Dun. Misplaced Jaw Cracker. ' A certain handsome junior of our State university was as bright aa a child as he is now brilliant as a young man. He read much when he was a little fellow, and his memory held fast to any fine sounding word that came In his way. In his grand mother's household he often caused amuse ment by a mistaken or exaggerated use of the pbllysyllable words that struck hla fancy. One day he rushed into his grand mother's room; out ot breath as he was with haste and anxiety he panted out: . "Grandmal Grandma! send a man to the new oat' field. Quickly I Tbe pigs have broken In and are eating tbe beautiful oats most elaborately." W ide Awake. Foor Bobble. "No, Bobble," said his mother; "one piece 01 pie is quite enough lor you."

Six men were behind ber In Una A boat was due to leave In about ;wo minutes. "Do boats leave here tor Hoboken?" she asked, and the man inside answered, Yes." "How long will it be before the next one leaveef" "About a minute," was the reply. "Does the boat go straight to Hobokenf" ksked the woman. "Yes," said the ticket seller. "How long could I wait in Hoboken be fore there was another boat back?" asked the woman, while the men behind her grew nervous rapidly, "Aa long as you please," said the patient ticket seller; "they are going and coming all the time." "Could I get from Hoboken to Jersey City without coming back here?" "Yes; street cars run regularly," was the answer. "Would it be quicker to go by a car or come back and take a ferry to Jersey City?" the asked. "I don't know," was the answer. Then tbe ticket seller asked Impatiently, "How manyf" "How many what?" said the woman. "Tickets. How many tickets do you want?" The bell was ringing tor the boat to move and the men in line were Bwearing. "I don't want any tickets," she said. "My sister lives in Hoboken, and it I thought I had time to go and see her and call on my brotber'a folks in Jersey City I was going over tomorrow." New York Times. The Conductor Knew Bis Business. "You know where to leave me," said a lady on a Third street car the other day as the conductor took her fare. "Yes'm; Columbia street Is your street, I believe," he replied. The lady retired in a brown Btudy, and one of those men who know it all and never gets left, and Isn't anybody's fool, took up the attention of the conductor with a long yarn about how street cars should be run and what rapid transit wonld do for the people, and when the conductor thought of that woman again he was just crossing Willis avenue. "She'll have me discharged it I tell her," he said to himself, and cold drops ot terror stood out on his manly brow. Once the passenger did look out of .the car window, but seeing an unfamiliar part ot the city concluded ahe was still en route to Columbia street. The car went to the end of the line and returned on its way downtown again. "C-o-l-u-m-b-i-al" called the conductor bravely, and the lady gathered up her traps and stepped out on the platform. "Good gracious, conductor," she began. "Hurry up, madam," urged the con ductor, aud after assisting her off he has tily rang the bell and the car started again. And the astonished woman was heard to remark: "No wonder the cars go slow; they travel backward." Detroit Free Press. A Kind Word for the Owl.

Frank Leslie's Monthly. - Tha Wealth of Croesus. Croesns was the king of Lydla, a state in Asia Minor, and ascended the throne about 562 B. C. His name has ever been a syno nym for wealth, "as rich as Croesus" hav ing been a proverb from his own time, but the most liberal estimates of his property, so far as descriptions of it have come down to us, make it worth in our money about (10,000,000. His riches were derived from gold mines near Sardis, the capital of Lydla, and from the plunder of numerous sur rounding states. Tbe kingdom of Lydla waa overrun by Cyrus, the Persian con queror, and, according to the best authori ties, Croesus was taken prisoner and kept la the train of Cyrus, Tbecourt of Croesus was considered one of the most refined and elegant of ancient times, and the ruins of tbe royal palace and the other magnificeut buildings are still to bo seen on the site of Sardis.
