Commenting upon the sale of the
Jeanesville and J. C. Haydon & Co.
collieries to the Lehigh Valley Coal
company, the Hazleton Plain-Speaker
says: "The rumors of a big combine
about to be formed to which the Le
high Valley will be one of the partles
In opposition to another combination
of coal roads, seems to be the Idea most
favored. The Lehigh Valley, to make
itself felt In the combination, and also
to preclude the possibility of another
road the Pennsylvania, or Jersey Cen
tral, or Reading, for instance securing
the tonnage of the Pardee collieries,
Is making strenuous efforts to gain
possession of these collieries so it is
said. And a few more days will develop
the truth of the matter. Whatever is
the intentions of the Lehigh Valley in
gaining control of these collieries no
one professes to know, and these are
mere surmises. But that there is some
thing In view of great Import cannot be
doubted. The deal which was consum
mated between the Lehigh Valley and
J. C. Haydon & Co., covers the collieries,
strlpplngs and other mining operations
of the firm at Jeanesville. J. C. Hay
don & Co. still retain passesslon of the
Jeanesville shops the machine shop,
boiler shop and foundry and of the
Jeanesville store. The announcement
made lost week that the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company intended, pur
chasing or leasing the South Sugarloaf,
the No. 3, the No. 6, the Laurel Hill and
Hazle Mines collieries, at present oper
ated by T. Pardee & Co., aunougn a
little doubtful, seems to have been cor
rect. Some of the collieries were ordered
on Tuesday to empty the coal pockets,
from which it Is gleaned that some
thing will happen soon."
Upon the same subject the Standard
paid: "Despite the reticence of those
who know all about it, the fact has
leaked out that the collieries of A.
Pordee & Co., will tomorrow morning
pass Into the control of the Lehigh Val
ley Coal company. This company also
consummated a deal last Saturday, but
which was not finally approved until yes
terday, by which they secure possession
of the Jeanesville collieries, Nob. 1 and
4, operated by J. C. Hayden & Co. The
Jeanesville people did not conceal the
fact that they had sold the leases to the
Lehigh Valley Coal company. J. C.
Hayden & Co. have for years operated
these mines under a lease from the Le
high Valley Conl company, who own the
land, and under their management,
Jeanesville has not only grown to be
the model mining town in the coal re
gion, but at the same time has drawn
to it the most thrifty miners In the
country. In regard to the Pardee col
lieries there Is but little to say further
than that these collieries will also pass
Jntothehandsof thesamecompany. This
information was given us by an official
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company
last evening, and the frequent visits of
the Lehigh Valley officials, together
with that of General Superintendent
Lathrop, to the Pardee offices, seem to
confirm the statement. Whether these
changes will be a benefit to Hazleton
the future can only develop. But opin
ions are greatly divided, some thinking
that It will mean less work, while
ethers perdlct a boom."
A large gang of Lehigh Valley track
men in charge of Section Forerciian
Henry Habel, are treating that piece
of abandoned track between Audenrled
and No. 1 Honey Brook to a general
overhauling, says the Hazleton Stand
ard. New sills are being laid, defective
rails are being removed, and the road
is receiving a thorough cleaning, par
ticular attention being paid to ballast
ing and leveling. The object In mak
ing such an outlay of cash in this ap
parently worthless piece of track is ex
citing comment and people should not
be surprised to learn at no distant day
of the Lehigh Valley entering Honey
Brook by this route and continuing their
road to Pleasant Hill, the heart of a
big population, and join It to the New
Boston branch at Spring' Mountain.
This could be made the main line with
very little expense. An enormous pas
Benger and freight traffic would be cen
tered and the Lehigh Valley would
have little trouble in obtaining that
traffic as well as the traffic from Pleas
ant Hill. The line runs through Auden
rled. The slight Increase in the coke trade
Is being used as an argument in favor
of free trade and Wllsonlsm. The facts
Bhow that In September, 1832, coke
shipments amounted to 27,678 tons; in
September, '1893, 10,978 tons, and (in
September, 1894, 32,230 tons, a good
showing for 1894. The increased de
mand for coke in September, 1894, was
due to the fact that manufacturers are
replacing the stock of coke useu up dur
ing the recent strike. Wages show up
differently. The selling price of coke
In 1893 was $1.60; the selling price In
September, 1894, was $1.00, a decrease
of 37 per cent. Considerable coke Is
being Bhtpped, but wages are the lowest
ever paid In the region. In September,
1893, the rate of 100 bushels for mining
was $1, and that the rate in September,
1894, was 78 cents, a reduction of 22 per
cent. In 1893 the rate per 100 bushels
for drawing coke was 55 cents, while
In 1894 It was 43 cents, a reduction of 22
per cent Some of the coke companies
are now paying 70 cents per 100 bush
els for mining.
Each year increases the opposition of
the railroad companies to giving re
duced rates to ministers. Opponents
of this custom say they are paid
usually good salaries and are able to
pay full rates as well as others. The
Indianapolis Journal thinks it is prob
able it will end in giving reduced rates
to ministers only on the initial road at
the point they officiate as clerygymen,
but they will not be able to go from

one extreme of the land on a half or
even a reduced rate.
The report of the Inspectors of coal
mines of the state for 1893 has Just been
published by the state department. The
report shows that the aggregate pro
duction of anthracite coal for the state
in 1893 was 47,179,563, an increase of 1,
444,189 over 1S92. Luzerne Is the leading
county and produced 18,253,144. Lacka
wanna etimes next, producing 11,607,550;
Schuylkill third, with 9,992,085, and
Northumberland fourth, with 3,731,404
tons. Carbon county produced 1,510,289
The increased production of 1.S93 re
quired the employment of 8,224 more
men, or an increase from 129,797 to 138,
021. The average production per man
In 1893 was 342 tons, ten tons less than
the year previous. In the entire an
thracite district for 1893 there were 455
fatal accidents In the anthracite and
131 in the bituminous regions. In the
anthracite region in 1893 the percentage
of fatal accidents was one to every 303
employes and non-fatul one to every 129
employes. In 1892 the former was one
to every 827 employes and the latter one
to every 127. In 1893 there were 103,691
tons of coal mined for every fatal ac
cident, and in 1892 there were 115,501
tons for each fatal accident.
The movement of freight cars over
the Eastern system of the Pennsylva
nia railroad last month reached a total
of 1,27,885 cars, an Increase over the pre
ceding month of 13,011 cars, and an In
crease over, October, 1893, of 16,771.
August was the heaviest month of the
year, and the second largest In the
history of the company, having aggre
gated 129,155 cars, and this was only
1,270 cars more than were handled last
month. It should be remembered In
this connection that the August move
ment was abnormal, resulting from
shipments of freight that had accumu
lated In the west during the strike. The
movement last month, however, was
normal, and fully reflects the general
improvement that Is In progress in all
classes of business.
MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES:
The Cross Creek Coal comnanv has
put to work a large force of men to Btrlp
a large piece of ground at No. 1 Drlf
ton. Men at No. 1 slope In Silver Brook are
tearing up the rails In the gangways
and hoisting them to the surface. This
is a sure sign of the slope's abandon
ment. When the rails are taken out
the pumps will be removed nnd the
slope allowed to fill up for at least 100
reet.
The Evans Mlnlnc comnanv. of
Beaver Meadow, which has for the past
rewmonthsbeendrlvlngaslope with the
expectation of striking a vein of coal,
were rewarded by finding a vein of coal
nrteen reet thick. The slope is now
down a depth of 200 feet. Work will be
begun at once driving gangways to de
velop the vein.

antagonist's libelled .reputation? If not,

UNFORTUNATE MR. BLOCII.
Has Had Some Exciting Experiences Since
lie Uccume Ono of the Finest.
The experience of Patrolman Bloch
one of the most elllclent men on the
Scranton police force, well illustrates
the difficulties an olllcer has to contend
with during his initiatory period. Pa
trolman Bloch has been beaten, bitten.
met with accidents and has had other
trials, but these Incidents only served
to show the courage and reliance of the
man. He is of medium build, 5 feet, 10
Inches high, and weighs 170 pounds. He
speaks five different languages and is
the only Hebrew ever appointed to the
police force lir Scrnnton. Several men
who are considered among the city's
most prominent business men recom
mended his appointment.
During Patrolman Bloch's first week
of service, which began about five
months ago, he fell while alighting
from a car at the oase ball park and
sustained serious cuts about his face
and head. His Hp was badly lacerated
and had to be sewn. One night he
held two of a party of three drunken
men, although the third was raining1

GET DOWN TO tVORK.
From the Pittsburg Times. '
Less than one week remains for the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania to put forth
their best efforts to increase the .major
ity for General Daniel H. Hastings for
governor and for the reBt of their state
ticket and every day of that period
should witness most effective work to
that end. Not that there Is any danger of
defeat of the ticket, nor any part of it
nor of any Increase In the Democratic
vote by reason of the very belated cam
paigning of Mr. Singerly and his party of
free trade shouters; but there is some
ground to fear that the very certainty, of
a great and overwhelming Republican
success may Induce a carelessness about
voting on the part of many which may
result In a reduction of the majority be
low what It can easily, with proper vig
ilance, be made. The vitally important
thing is to make the rebuke to the free
trade policy advocated by the Democratic
candidate for governor, and the effort to
establish which has already brought such
great and unparalleled distress upon this
nation, so emphatic and pronounced that
there will be a final halt called on tariff
tinkering prejudicial to Pennsylvania and

CHEAPEST IRON BEDS IN
TO OUR patrons:
Washburn-Croshy Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that thev will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the'newcrop
is fully cured. New wheat 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. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
