2 , TIIE FCItANTON TKIBUNE-FBIDAT MOItNTNGr. NOVEMBER 2, 1894. Industrial and MINE, MILL AND RAILROAD. The steady speculative drive In coal ers recently has given birth to a large variety of rumors, some serious and some amusing. One that combines a little of both characteristics Is thus out lined In a trade Journal: "Mrs. Charles Cummlngs, once Mary Packer, young est daughter of the late Judge Asa Packer, has retained legal counsel to look after her Interests in the Lehigh Valley Railroad company. No Idea Is conveyed as to her Intentions In the premises, nor does the rumor state the cause of her dissatisfaction with the "Wilbur management, especially notable as she has been regularly paid the In come agreed upon several years ago with the company. So far as has been learned the company has not defaulted upon any payments to her; still, it Is well known she is not in sympathy with the present management. In fact, her hostility to it, as well as the antagonism of her husband, is so great that neither of them will ride in Lehigh Valley cars except In extreme cases. They both use the Jersey Central whenever feasi ble and pay their fares. One well-informed person expresses the belief that whatever action has been taken by Mrs. Cummlngs has been upon the sugges tion, or at the dictation, of her husband, and that he, In turn, is acting in accord with some greater power. It is even asserted that the Vanderbllts have a hand in the matter, and that among the immediate future possibilities is the control of Lehigh Valley either by the Vanderbllts or the Lackawanna In terestsone and the same thing. Last Saturday the Central broke its New York-Philadelphia record. Gov ernor McKlnley, of Ohio, was to speak In Philadelphia. He had come through New York., state and down the Hudson Valley on specials, and the Central had heard doubtless that these specials had made astounding records. So the Cen tral people settled down to business. Governor McKlnley stepped on to their station at Jersey City at 4.35 p. m., and just 92 minutes later he alighted from a Pullman at the terminal station, Phila delphia. It took but four minutes for the governor and his party to get aboard the train, and It started without delay, with a rush. It was making thirty miles an hour when the Pullman cleared the big car shed at Jersey City, and It passed Bound Brook with a record better than a mile a minute from Jersey City. The distance Is ninety miles, and the time is the fastest ever made between the two points. ; In the reports of the Pennsylvania Railroad company,: the Pittsburg, Cin cinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, the New York, Lake Erie and Western and the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, whose reports are filed In the depart ment of internal affairs, as compiled by Deputy Secretary Isaac B. Brown, It is found that in a single year the fiscal year just closed there has been a fall ing off in the number of men employed of 14,198. Looking further into the re ports of these four companies, which are verified by the oaths of the officers of the companies, it is found that in a single year there has been a falling off In compensation paid to employes of $10,788,375.87. These returns show that these roads have carried 18.67G,G00 tons of freight less this year than the pre ceding year, and that the revenues from freight tranportatlon alone have been decreased $10,083,580.13. W. P, Holbert, of BInghamton, N. Y Is the owner of a tract of land at a place called Thornbottom, In Wayne county, under which he thinks there Is plenty of workable coal. Borers are at work there now and have gone down a distance of 300 feet. A vein of coal was struck near the surface which was eight inches In thickness, and another vein has been found which is thirty Inches thick. The borers will go down another hundred feet and the Indica tions are good for the finding of a work able and paying vein of anthracite. Further evidence that the anthracite coal companies are producing on the go-as-you-please theory Is found in the statement of shipments for the week ended Oct. 27, as prepared by the bureau of anthracite coal statistics. It shows total shipments, to have been no less than 1,006,107 tons, or within 34,003 tons of the total for the corresponding week of last year. The result, however, shows that the production has steadily In creased from week to week since the.be ginnlngof themonth. Forthefirst week shipments aggregated 754,707 tons, for the second week 806,181 tons, for the third week 969,683, and for last week, as shown, 1,006,107 tons, making a total of 3,536,678 tons for the first twenty-seven days of October. As there are four days yet to be accounted for, Indications are the month's total will equal, if It does not exceed, 4,000,000 tons. The committee of the Schuylkill coal exchange has fixed the rate of wages to be paid the miners In that region for the last half of October-and the flrBt half of November at $2.26, which Is 8 per.cent. below the $2.50 basis, the same as last month. The output of anthracite coal by the Reading Coal and Iron company for the month of November will amount to nearly 1,000,000 tons. There are but twenty-three working days In Novem ber for the collieries. There are four Sundays, Nov. 1 was a holiday, and elec tion day and Thanksgiving Day will also be observed as such, making seven days these mines cannot work, but, notwithstadlng that fact, If no ac cident occurs, the company will ship 1,000,000 tons of coal to tide water at Philadelphia and New York. There are a number of Individual operators in Schuylkill county, it is said, who will swell the output 250,000i (tons more, which will make an aggregate of the ARE the FOR AN AGREEABLE STRE APPETHEC NGTHENING V1NG THEN GET THE! :' Commercial. coal output from the Schuylkill region of 1,250,000 tons. . MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES:' The Atchison's earnings for the third week If October decreased $120,444. Anthracite produoers say their opera tions are being hampered through lack of cat W. P. Worth & Bro., of Coatesville, will erect new tube works near the Via duct Iron works. Mr. McLeod, for a wonder, is not be lieved to be in the race for the Lehigh Valley presidency. The St. Paul net for September de creased $161,558; for three months the net decreased $334,662. The Philadelphia, Reading and New England Railroad company has restored a 10 per cent, cut In wages. Judge Morris, of Baltimore, decides that the Baltimore and Lehigh Rail road company must pay Its employes. The lines in the Central Traffic asso ciation have fixed upon Nov. 12 to ad vance grain and provision rates east bound. A meeting of the Joint committee of the Trunk Line and Central Traffic as sociations will be held in New York next Friday. Six to ten east bound roads are said to be cutting rates, and the new east bound pool agreement seems to be alto gether a dead letter. . An order has Just been Issued by the Lehigh Vallty, stating that conductors will be held responsible for the loss of tools and equipments from their train cabooses. The Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad company has been reorganized, and W. F. Walw'oath elected its president. It is to be converted Into a standard gunge road at once. The Cumberland Valley railroad yes terday Increased the working time of its machine and blacksmith shops one hour each day. Heretofore the shops have been worked eight hours. The Bessemer ore production of the Lake Superior district this year will be the largest ever mined. The total pro duction of ore for the season will reach 7,250,090 gross tons by the close of navi gation. - The Reading's coal tonnage for the week ended Oct. 27 increased over last year 15,374.03 tins. Tonnage for the year to that date aggregated lO.BSfi, 467.19 tons, a decreast over 1893 of S54, 662.12 tons. The Lehigh Valley Railroad company has recalled the order reducing the wages of employes In the Weatherly shops. Work will be resumed at the old rate. The shops will work six nine hour days a week hereafter. C. P. Huntington has bought for Pa cific coast delivery a block of 6,000 tons of cannel (English) steel rails at a low price. This verifies the assertions re peatedly made by American manufac turers that they are in danger of losing the Pacific coast market. Shipments of Lykens Valley coal over the Summit Branch railroad were the largest last week In the history of the mines, having aggregated 15,695 tons, an increase over the same week last year of 2,916 tons. For the year to Idate shipments aggregate .459,656 tons, an Increase over the correspond ing period of last year of 85.290 tons. The Railroad Gazette, In its last is sue, gives a list of accidents occurring on roads In the United States in Sep tember, which shows that there were 146 accidents, in which fifty persons were killed and 126 injured. Of those killed thirty were employes, five pas sengers and fifteen trespassers; of those Injured, eighty-four were employes, thirty-two passengers, and ten tres passers. Among the '. unusual acci dents noted was that on the Lake Erie and Western at Lafayette, and that at Columbus, O. During the month there were two accidents which did consider able damage from the explosion of boil ers of locomotives. STOCKS AND BONDS. By the United Press. New York, Nov. 1. The stock market was nervous today and responded quickly to outside conditions except American Sugar, which acted directly contrary to the current news on the property. The stock was in demand throughout and advanced from 84 to 86, closing at 86, a gain of 2 per cent, for the day. The general list displayed a firm undertone, the market recovered quickly from bear attacks. This con tingent hammered the Grangers and New Jersey Central at times, but they did not succeed in shaking out long stock as on previous days of the week. The impression is gradually gaining ground that the big bears have taken advantage of the break in the coalers and Northwest to reduce their short lines, preferring to have their house in order so as to be prepared for what ever the elections may bring forth. The news today generally favored these operating for higher prices. The death of the czar had no effect. Read ing securities were In good demand for Philadelphia account at an advance of 1 to 1 per cent. When the sell ing ceased prices advanced briskly and a number of issues sold at the best of the day. The closing was llrm and a rather confident feeling prevailed. Net changes In the general list show gains of to 2 per cent., American Sugar leading. The total sales were only 159, 104 shares, but the business was better distributed than of late. The range of today's prices for the ac tive stocks of the New York stock market are gtV'in below.

Louise Imogene Gulney, a poetess and the postmistress of Auburndale, recently had her salary as postmistress cut $100 a year, be cause the receipts of the office had de creased. This she ascribes to residents of Auburndale buying stamps else where, because they dislike her. The postmistress says her unpopularity is caused by her keeping two St. Bernard dogs, while the people of Auburndale hate dogs. The story of the boycott has gone abroad and friends and others in dis tant cities are sending money to the postmistress for stamps, to make up the loss In local sales. BILL FOR DINNERS AND CABS. Almost Disrupts French Coblnct-The Claim Referred to the Government. By the United Press. Paris, Nov. 1. There was a stormy debate In the chamber of deputies yes terday over the accounts of M. Favette, a high official In the ministry of com merce. In the accounts were Included bills for dinners at Voislns on 640 occa sions, and for six cabs, each for the use of Senator Lourties and M. Guerln, minister of Justice. Premier Dupuy ad mitted that these bills were irregular, but thought that there was no circum stance connected with them that would Justify the prosecution of the offenders. Amid great excitement M. Jaures moved that "the chamber refer the pa pers lri question to the government." The motion was accepted by the gov ernment and was carried by a vote of 116 to 1. The morning newspapers agree that the Favette Incident threatened for a time the existence of the cabinet. The resignation of M. Lourties, minister f commerce, is still regarded as possible. There Is nothing like Dr. Thomas' Eo lectrlc OH to quickly cure a cold or re lieve hoarseness. Written by Mrs. M. J. Fellows, Burr Oak, St. Joseph, Co., Mich. ON CENT A Word.

New wheitt is now upon the market, and owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are of the opinion that It is already cured, and in proper condition for milling.
