THE SCBANTON TRrBTTNE TUESDAY MOHNIKO-. OCTOBER 23, 1894.
Industrial and
mine, mill and railroad.
Pittsburg advices from a souroe evi
dently hostile to the Carnegles assert
that steel Tails have been sold for
months by members of the steel rail
pool at prices considerably below the $114
a ton rate. According to this source of
Information It "has been an open secret
that the $24 rate has been frequently
cut in the Southern and Western mar
kets. Conclusive evidence was found
this week showing that the pool has
lowered prices. Borne weeks ago the
Carnegie Steel company placed a bid
for the delivery of 15,000 tons of steel
rails In Indian Territory. The Choc
taw Coal and Railroad company Is
about to build a line of railroad there.
The Colorado Iron & Coal company,
which has a small rail mill at Pueblo,
placed a bid against that of the Car
negie Steel Company and was able to
heat the big Pittsburg concern by a
margin of 8 cents, owing to the railroad
freight rates. The Carnegie company's
bid was $28.70 for rails delivered at Ok
lahoma City, The freight rate from
Pittsburg to Oklahoma quoted to the
Carnegie Steel company was $6.90 per
ton. This would make the Carnegie
Steel company's selling price for their
rails In Pittsburg $21.C0. This figure
Is almost $4 lower than the rate olllc
Jally proclaimed by the pool. The Col
orado Iron and Coal company will be
forced to make some alterations and
enlargements In its mill to carry out the
contract It obtained.1 Heretofore this
company had not been regarded as a
competitor of the Steel Rail Trust, but
Its success In bidding against the Car
negie company In this instance, it is
nrgued, raises a competitor against the
Carnegie company In the west.
The rate cutting of the steel rail pool
has been confined principally to the
west and southwest. In the market
along the eastern seaboard and in the
northeast the $24 rate of the pool has
been pretty well maintained. The cut
ting that has taken place In the south
west began because the pool was forced
to protect Itself from foreign rail,
Which are brought to New Orleans by
water. The lowered tariff on the rails
In the new tariff law gave the foreign
manufacturers further opportunity to
compete with the American rails. This
Is also true on the Pacific coast, where
European rails are being brought in
greater numbers than ever. It now
seems certain that the American manu
facturers will continue the pooling ar
rangement of this year. It Is said that
several meetings have already been
held with this object in view. Chair
man H. C. Frlck and Vice-Chairman
John G. A. Lelshmnn, of the Carnegie
Steel company, were in the east last
week and It is reported that they have
been attending a meeting of the steel
rail magnates. A gentleman compe
tent to speak authoritatively stated
some days ago that the pool would cer
tainly be continued next year. He in
timated that it would be with the $24
rate prevailing."
In the opinion of John H. Martin, an
observant ex-railroader who now trav
els at the head of a leading theatrical
organization, the most serious thing
the passenger departments of the rail
ways have now to contend with Is
the trolley systems, which promise to
make serious inroads Into their short
travel and suburban business. He cites
'Allentown, where there is a group of
five large cities all connected by trol
ley roads and carrying the people at
one-third the rates which the steam
roads have been charging on short trav
el, and not taking much more time than
do the steam lines, when It Is consid
ered that, eight times out of ten, the
trolley line takes the passengers to the
door of the place at which he wishes to
stop. On inquiry, Mr. Martin found
that the Lehigh Valley, the Reading
and the Pennsylvania lines were feel
ing this competition very much In their
pussenger earlngs. Another Instance
he cites In the Indianapolis Journal
Is between St. Paul and Min
neapolis. Between those cities are
lour tracks of steam roads, and
In years past the travel be
tween the two points has been large
and yielded a large revenue to the
steam roads. Now there are several
trolley lines. The steam roads make the
run a few minutes quicker, but charge
three t linos as much.andtheadvantages
between the two, all things considered,
are quite equal, yet Mr. Martin was told
by a railway official of one of the St.
Paul steam lines that It would cut into
their revenue between those two points
at least $200,000 a year. Just tit present,
Mr.Martin says, the electric trolley lines
are making the most sorio'u lnn.-nda mi
past-fnger earnings) of Pennsylvania
and New England roads, but there is
no telling where this competition will
end. In 1880 the first Important electric
line was constructed, and little more
was done for five years, but In the last
three years rapid strides have been
made. Today there are at least 15,000
miles of electric railways In the coun
try, over which are run at least 20,000
electric cars, and It Is evident that elec
tric lines have come to stay.
The official report of anthracite ton
nage for September, as prepared by V.
W. Ituley, gives the output 3,270,81 2 tons,
n decrease of 343,883 tons, as compared
with last year. Kor the year to date
the tonnage Is 29,030, 692 tons, a decrease
of 1,585,288 tons. Storks of coal at tide
Tests recently made at the Luke Fl
fller mine near Shamokin have proved
disappointing. It was found that it
would be absolutely impossible to open
up the water level tunnel for some
time. The gaB escaping from all the
mine openings is very strong and ex
tinguished the lights In all of the tests
made. It will now be necessary to
wait until the workings of No. 2 slope
have been filled with water before en
tering the water level tunnel can be
thought of and it wjll require fifteen or
twenty days to accomplish this. The
GOUT, RHEUMATISM,
rheumatic gout, or any gouty or rhcu
matlc affection w hatever, has its surest
remedy in the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt
There's nothing so successful in clear
ing out the excess of uric acid In the
blood. That has been proved in hun
dreds of years and in thousands of
cases at Carlsbad.
So with any of the ailments brought
on by sedentary habits-'-dyspepsia, in
digestion, perverted nutrition, constipa
tion, Carlsbad cures them, and cures
them permanently.
But the best way is to prevent them.
A little' Carlsbad Sprudel Salt taken
when you suspect any trouble, will
keep your stomach and liver and bow
els and kidneys in perfect order, '
Take only the genuine imported
Sprudel Salt, solidified and bottled at
the Sprudel Spring, with signature of
"Eisner & Mendelson Co., Sole Agents,
New York," on every bottle.

company Is now placing a pump in po
sition below Springfield in order ta
pump the waste water from that point
into the new shaft.
Mr. George B. Orlady of Huntingdon,
who is familiarly known in Bcranton
by reason of his political addresses, was
recently made happy by the discov
ery of gold ore In the Tussey mountains
of Blair county, on property which a
company owns in which he Is one of
the proud financial backers. Silver has
also been struck. Expert mineralo
gists pronounce the silver are equal
to the Colorado product and the excite
ment la unparalleled over this discovery
of "pay dirt." The company has ar
ranged to speedily develop the veins.
decreased during September 1,934 tons.
The shipments were more than 25 per
cent, greater than the tonnage agreed
upon by the coal sales agents. There
is no doubt that the supply of coal has
been in excess of the demand since
last June. This has made October,
which ought to be the greatest coal
month of the year, a comparatively
dull one. The distribution of coal is,
of course, larger than it was, and it is
growing gradually, but It is not what it
should be, and prices are barely main
tained. MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES:
DanielW. Davles, of 14 Hlllsldestreet,
will take the position of inside foreman
in the Empire shaft.
The production of iron and of Besse
mer steel continues as heavy as hereto
fore, and quotations have been further
shaded.
Current decreases in railroad earn
ings are ascribed to the effect of the
heavy World's fair passenger truillc a
year ago.
It is understood that John Wana
maker hus not made any effort to cap
ture the Reading presidency since hla
interview with Mr. Slnnott.
The belief grows that all the Reading
company needs, after re-organlzatlon.
Is an equitable percentage of the coaj
output to insure dividends on the stock.
D. Melindwr Jones hns resigned his
position as fire boss at the Forty Fort
colliery, having secured a position nh
Inside foreman for the Kingston Coal
company.
The Lehigh & Wllkes-Barre Coal com

nigh pressure boilers for their No. 4
Wharton slope. Two cars will be hoist
ed each trip.
Twenty-five machinists have been
added to the force at the Lehigh Val
ley's Wllkes-Barre shops, as the com
pany Is in need of the engines which
are out of repair.
The Green Mountain slope, situated
five miles from Honeybrook and oper
ated by the Lehigh and Wilkes-TStirre
Coal company, was Idle four days last
week, owing to high water.
Henry Williams, for a long time fore
man of the No. 2 Silver Urook colliery,
has handed in his resignation. He
will hereafter be located at Shenan
doah, where he has accepted a more
lucrative position.
The flume of the Lehigh & Wllkes
Barre Coal company, Just completed at
Honeybrook, Is the largest In the re
gion. It is 1,250 feet in length,9Mi feet
wide and 4 feet deep. It contains 135,
000 feet of lumber.
The volume of clearings for six busi
ness days ended with Oct. 18 Is $!)M),000,.
000, or 2.3 per cent, more than In the
preceding week, and 2.5 per cent, larger
than in' the third week of October Inst
year, but nearly 31 per cent, smaller
than in the corresponding week In 1X92.
B. A. Cunningham, of South Bethle
hem, has Just received the appointment
of division engineer of the Lehigh Val
ley railroad to have charge of the
North Branch and Seneca divisions
with headquarters at Sayre, recently

mokin, several weeks ago. have been
replaced temporarily with six locomo
tives, to be used as stationary boilerb
to do work at the colliery until new
and improved stationary boilers can be
secureu.
Daniel L. Davis, who has been fire
boss in the Hollenback No. 4, Lehigh
and Wllkes-Barre Coal company, for a
number of years, was appointed to fill

The Latin of It.
From the Bston Advertiser.
The Middlesex club entertained the Re
publican candidates for state ofllces at
Young's SuturUay, and entertained them
rlirht royally, too. Everybody was in
hlKh spirits, nnd the speeches were full of
fire and fervor. Attorney-General Knowl
ton's benediction was a parody on "a
Jlnglo of Latin." "I think," said he, "It
is one of the odes of Horace. At any
rate, It is very Horutlan In sentiment,
nnd Is very true to nuture. It Is some
thing like this:
'Hoyabus, klsslbus sweet glrllorlum,
Olrllbus llpibus wantee summorum.'
"The reason 1 think of that Is that with
a slight adaptation and alteration it sums
up the present political situation to a dot.
As we think how triumphantly the pco-
plo were deluded Into voting for the nom
inos of tho Democratic party and where
tne people nnd tnemscives today, I am
Inclined to paraphrase that little dog
gerel Into something like this:
"Democracy foollbus dear populorum,
People icatch-on-lbus,don't want any
morum." Partisan Small Beer.
Frm the Washington Star, Ind.
Only the smallest sort of a plcnyune
politician would have dreamed of muklng
a campaign Issue out of the nationality
of a candidate's coachman, but the dim
inutive souls who imagined that such
a sword would only cut one way have
doubtless discovered their error ere this,
for some other possessor of a minute pol
itical Intellect has laid bare tho fact that
Senator Hill has a butler who was born
In Sweden. The Issue Is now joined. On
the one side is John James Howard, on
tho other is Rudolf Blerl; the one a ruddy
son of Britain, the other a descendant of
the Vikings. Political differences are of
cmparattvely little consequence, the tar
iff is a straw, good government Is a fleet
ing vision In behalf of which no argument
need be set up. The fight is on between
the English Jehu and the, Swedish house
servant. The merits of the case must be
apparent to every intelligent person; an
erroneously cast ballot does not seem to
be possible.
Down with Populism.
From the Philadelphia Times, Dem.
We regard the overthrow of Populism
today bb a much more Important Issue
than the ovorthrow of any other political
organization or the defeat of any na
tional measure. The next house of con
gress Is not likely to be Democratic, but It
may not be Republican. If it shall not
be Democratic, we sincerely hope that It
may be absolutely Republican; but if, as
Is possible, the Populists shall hold the
balance of power, tho patriotic men of
both parties should unite and organize tho
house on an equitable bnls, giving the
nnrtv the speaker that has tne plurality,
and thus organizing It without obligation
to, or consideration ror, tne populist ele
rnent of the country. Its doctrines Is revo
iutlonnry. Its success means destruction
of public and private property, tne over
throw of social order, contempt for law,
nnd Its every highway leads to anarchy.
Pnnullsm is destruction. Let every hon
est man make a common cause for its
overthrow.
Punish the Crlmo.
From tho New York Sun.
Any alien who may be found guilty of
perjury when applying for paperB of nat
uralization should be forever debarred
from obtaining the rights or American
citizenship. To commit that crime at
such a time , or at any time, Is as bad as
treason. It would bo proper to deport to
tho country from which he came any and
every alien who perjures himself In a
court ot naturalization.
