THE KCB ANTON TRIBUNE THURSDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 15, 1894.
Industrial and
MINE, MILL AM) RAILROAD. I
. . 'V
A small party of determined mine offi
cials entered the water level tunnel of
the burning Luke Fldler colliery at
Shamokln Monday and made three
desperate attempts to find some trace
of the bodies of the four workmen who
lost their lives there just a month ago,
but their efforts were fruitless. There
was plenty of evidence, however, of
the fearful fire that had raged in the
Interior of the mine and the searchers
have reason to believe that the fire Is
still burning above the water level and
dams are now being constructed In or
der to force the water to a vertical height
of 100 feet above this tunnel. An idea of
the immense quantity of water required
to extinguished this fire can be obtained,
Bays the Dispatch, by considering that
from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000 gallons have
been run Into the mine each day for a
period of thirty-four days and the water
Is still 200 feet below the water level.
The vertical height already filled wlt
water aggregates about 630 feet and 300
feet remain to be filled up before the
mining experts will feel satisfied that
the flames have been entirely extin
guished. Anthracite collieries are now being
worked to about two-thirds- or three
fourths of their capacity, though, un
limited production Is now being allowed.
But many of the companies are short of
coal cars, and are endeavoring to in
crease the supply' by bringing into use
box or freight cars of every discriptlon,
and In one case at least (the Lacka
wanna) flat; cars, with common plank
Bides, have been pressed Into service.
The Reading last week shipped 11,745
tons of anthracite less than It did In the
same week last year, or a total of 296,
f34 tons, against 308,280 tons last year.
But for the company's light supply of
cars the shipments would have been
very much larger. So far this ypar It
has shipped 11,551,175 tons of coal, a
decrease as companred with the corres
ponding period last year of 809,148 tons.
Superintendent Baker of the Cornwall
ore furnaces tells a Lebanon Report
man that he does not anticipate many
material changes at those furnaces as
a result of the starting up of the South
works of the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company In this city. The im
provements previously outlined for No.
2 are being rapidly accomplished, and
many others will follow. Condensers
are to be placed In position, the water
of the tuyeres being used, Increasing
the engine capacity from twenty-five to
thirty pounds. The stoves are to be al
most entirely rebuilt, so worn have they
become. The old gas system of roast
ing will be relegated to the desert of
the junk dealer, to be replaced with the
most modern new one In which gas
also will be used the Davis patent.
Upon the completion of No. 2, No. 1 will
be blown out, to undergo similar treat
ment, when both furnaces may -be put
down as modernized to date with the
la Vest land (most approved Inethods.
'All four stoves will be arranged so that
they may be used on either furnaces.
The premises will, when everything Is
done, be treated to a thorough painting.
The railroads of Nebraska have re
ceived a decided setback from the deci
sion declaring the maximum freight
law constitutional, although the court
finds that the reduction In rates us
fixed Is excessive, and the operation of
the low rates is suspended. In effect,
the decision supports the position taken
by the Nebraska railroad commission,
and the latter, says the Commercial Ad
vertiser, are not likely to concede to the
railroads any points that they can pos
sibly avoid, so far as rates are con
cerned. The decision, whjle It recog
nizes the injustice of the rates as es
tablished by the commission and con
tested by the railroads, affords the latter
no remedy. The suspension of the en
forcement of the low rates will at best
be only temporary, and the fact that
the obnoxious law has been declared
constitutional Is a blow at railroad In
vestments In Nebraska and other west
ern states where the railroad commis
sions are openly favorable to the gran
ger element and equally open In their
hostility to the railroads. The decision
cymes at a time when the railroads of
the country are making an earnest
effort to regain some of the income lost
during the past year and a half, through
an adjustment of rates to a basis which
shall be mutually just to the shipper
and carrier.
The old story that the Canadian Pa
cific is preparing plans to build an In
dependent line to Buffalo has beeen re
vived, and Just now appears to have
for its basis the transfer of real estate
at Niagara Falls and near Buffalo.
The story has It that a new bridge will
be built over the Niagara river for the
Canadian line. It Is hardly necessary
to say that there Is nothing to confirm
the report.

Even In chronic and stubborn cases of
skin disorders like eczema, it is the
prescribed remedy.
The blood, the liver, the stomach, the
kidneys all arc acted upon powerfully,
but naturally, by the Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt You get the same benefit, the
same cure, the same feeling of lightness
and clearness all through your system,
as if you were at Carlsbad itself.
Beware of the many imitations sold
as "improved" or "artificial" Carls

Seidlitz Powder and common Glauber
Salt, sold by unscrupulous dealers for
the larger profits they yield.
Insist upon the genuine imported,
natural Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, which
is evaporated from the Spring at Carls
bad, and bears the seal of the city and
the signature of "Eisner & Mendelson
Co., Sole Agents, New York," on every
bottle,

1,400 new coal cars for the E. P. Wilbur
Trust company, for use on' the Lehigh
Valley. These cars will be of much the
same pattern as those In use on Mr.
Coxe's road.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
is to reduce its train time between the
east and west by at deast one hour.
The change will go in effect on the in
auguration of the fall and winter sched
ule, next Sunday. The reduction In time
will apply to both Chicago and St. Louis
trains.
The return of confidence In the Iron
and steel trade Incident to the elections
Is more or less perceptible; the larger
manufacturers, however, do not look
for any pronounced Improvement until
after the first of the year, or until the
close of the winter months renders the
starting up of new works practicable.
The fastest run ever made over the
Pennsylvania was that of lust week
with General Manager Prevost and a
number of officials, from Jersey City to
Pittsburg. The train left Jersey City
at 8.30 a. m. and reached Pittsburg at
5 o'clock In the evening, and occupied
about eight hours and thirty minutes
in covering the 432 miles.
M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big
Four, is quoted as saying that he has
never known the railway managers,
presidents and general managers so
much In earnest on the question of ad
vancing rates to a reasonable basis and
then maintaining them strictly. H says
the present agitation cannot fail to
develop material benefit to the rail
roads of the'Country.
The Pennsylvania railroad reports
that the quantity of coal and coke ori
ginating on and carried over its lines
east of Pittsburg and Erie for the year
thus far has been 13,407,908 tons, com
pared with 15,507,959 tons In the cor
responding period of 1893, a decrease of
2,100,051 tons, of which 10,577,520 tons
werecoal.adecreaseof 1,470,493 tons, and
2,830,388 tons coke, a decrease of C29.5S8
tons.
Contractor King Is grading an exten
sion for the Jersey Central at the Coler
alne colliery. There will be additional
850 feet added to both the loaded and
empty sidings In order to give thecrews
an opportunity to hnndle the shipment
without difficulty. Another siding Is
to be constructed alongside the main
track by A. S. Van Wlckle, which will
bo used by the Reading for the storage
of loaded cars. The latter company ex
pects to enter the Van Wlckle domain
some time next week. With the en
trance of this great coal carrier the
Coleralne plant will have three outlets
by rail to tidewater.
STOCKS AND BONDS.
By the United Press.
New York, Nov. 14. Recent buyers of
stocks on the theory that the official
announcement of a bond Issue would
lead to a raise in prices were disap
pointed, as the treasury circular calling
for bonds fell flut. Sugar monopolized
the trading, fully 102,800 shares being
sold at 87 and 91 14, with the final
transactions at the lower figures. There
was absolutely no support to the stock
and no valid reason was advanced for
its downward course.
Speculation closed stendy for the gen
eral list and heavy for sugar. Net
changes show losses of to 14 in the
usually active list and 2 in sugar.
Total transactions were 230,000 shares.
The range of today's prices for the ac
tive stocks of the New York Btock market

GOOD WORK FOR AMERICAN'S.
Credit Given Them As Being the Kindliest
Knee in the World.
From the London Spectator.
Take them as a whole, the Americans
are the kindliest race on the face of the
earth. In spite of their eagerness, their
push, their desire to be In the front
rank at all times and all seasons, the
true American seldom falls In kindness.
He wants badly to prevent any one get
ting uhead of him. mentally, physically
and morally, but If his competitor falls
In the struggle he will make untold
sacrifices to help him up. The rule in
American business Is pure cut-throat
competition, carried to its logical con
clusion. You are expected to press and
push every point as far as It can possi
bly be pushed nnd pressed, and no one
Is expected to consider whether, in
making n commercial coup, you will
not ruin Hrown, Jones and Robinson.
The moment, however, that Hrown,
Jones or Robinson actually goes under
he Is treated with the utmost generos
ity and consideration.
The hand which struck him down is
instantly Btrctched forth to help him,
and as much care and trouble are used
to put him on his feet once again as
were originally employed to knock him
off them. In social Intercourse, this
kindness und sunniness Is specially
attractive. The American will take In
finite pains to make the merest stranger
happy. He Is courteous and pleasant
spoken, not like the Frenchman, from
convention, but from the sense of pleas
ure which his instinctive optimism
teaches him todiffuse. II Is optimism lias
even proved strong enough to break
down the shyness which naturally be
longs to the English rnce. One sees,
no doubt, survivals of It In the Ameri
can; but in most cases the sense that
all Is for the best In the best possible
of workls has mastered it altogether.
SUPPRESS THE REST.
How Chcrublnl Administered a Kehuketo
un Unruly Pupil.
At the Paris conservatory, then under
the direction of Chcrublnl, Berlioz was
an unruly genius, and not In favor with
his teachers, especially the precise and
"classical" Cherubinl. One examina
tion day Cherubinl was running over a
piece which Berlioz had submitted,
when he came upon a complete rest of
two measures.
"What Is that?" he asked In his usual
ill-natured tone.
"Mr. Director," said the pupil, "I
wished to produce nn effect which I
thought could best be produced by si
lence." "Ah, you thought It would produce a
good effect upon the audience if you
suppressed two measures?"
"Yes, sir."
"Yery good. Suppress the rest; the
effect will be better still."

Wnshfcurn-Croshy Co. wish to fissure their many rat
rons that they will this vear hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD W 11 HAT until the new crop
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. Washhifrn-Croshy Co. will tako
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 Hour far above other
brands.
