failures and in their work they must use the best.

COAL TRADE UNSETTLED.
Scranton Operators View the Situation
with .Much Djuht.
The Individual operators of this city
and members of the Anthracite Coal
Operators association are unsettled In
their opinions, and view with a certain
amount of misgiving the report from
Philadelphia that a cut of 40 cents per
ton has been made to local consumers.
The report is authentic except In de
tail. The Susquehanna Coal company,
controlled by the Pennsylvania road, Is
the real undermlner of prices and riot
Coxe Bros. The circular of this large
mining Interest Issued yesterday did
not contain a cut In prices.
At the meeting of the Anthracite as
sociation, which ended Thursday In
New York, resolutions were adopted re
questing the carrying companies to
equalize prices at tidewater and aloiiij
the lines of road. Between the lines of
the resolutions la contained the pur
pose of the Individual operators to
market coal themselves, provided the
railroads do not come to terms. Prices
have been cut at tidewater by all the
carrying roads, but the price at Inland
markets has not been lowered. This
fact, the operators allege, is as unjust
to them as to the public.
Committees are now presenting the
resolutions to the different railroads,
and until the result of their conferences
Is known it cannot be determined what
effect the war will have on local min
ing interests .From present indications
there will not be a reduction of time or
output of the mines unless cars Btand
loaded on the railroad tracks and a car
famine happens.

EVIDENCE WAS NOT IN VIEW
Committee Hears Allegations Against
City Sckol Controllers.
MR. VITHEK'S WEAK CHARGES
Testimony Indicates That Reynolds Kvus.
Performed Their Contract andThct
the Supply Commlttes Is Inno
cent of Wrong Doing.
The special committee appointed by
the Board of Control tu investigate the
allegations made by W. H. Withers, of
the Withers Paper company, met last
evening to hear evidence, the members
of the committee being F. S. Barker,
chairman, T. J. Jennings and James A.
Evans.
V. H. Withers attended and based his
charges as contained In his letter of
October 2j, In which he alleged that the
1 order for tablets which was given to
i Reynolds Bros, "was distinctly given
; for tabltts cut 24 x SS, 40 pound paper."
i "The tablets Mr. Reynolds Is delivering
I are not 40-pound paper, not even 35
! pound, hut It Is 33-pound paper."
Mr. Withers then produced his scales
! and took 10 sheets out of a sampla pad
' and showed the committee that It
; weighed but 33 pounds to the ream,
i another pad was selected which showed
i 33 pounds to the ream, Instead of 49
pounds. Mr. Withers was then exum-
lned by the members of the committee,
I and In reply to Mr. Jennings said that
j when the paper was cut down to the
t!ze required for the pads, it would not
then weigh 40 pounds to the ream but
about 29 pounds. With regard to the
sample pad, which figured 33 pounds, he
stated that ha obtained It from the book
binding department of The Tribune
office, where the pads were being bound
for Reynolds Bros, and Oaorge F.
Schwcnker, the foreman, told him that
they were the first lot to be delivered by
Reynolds Bros, for the School Board;
this sample he obtained a few days
previous to Oct. 25, the date of his letter.
He picked the pad up and asked Mr.
Schwenker If they were for the board
nd he replied "Yes," but he had not
een to the office since.
Mr. Withers Mukcs Admissions.
Questions were then put to Mr. With
ers as to whether commercial marKs
on the paper from the mills were always
reliable. He replied that they were not
In all casts, as he, when In that part of
the trade, had sent out paper marked
40 pounds which really weighed but 30
pounds to the ream, and this had been
done to suit the requirements of cus
omers.
John Reynolds here Interposed and
sale1, that he had seen Mr. Schwenker
who was prepared to make an affidavit
that he had not supplied Mr. Withers
with a pad and farther could not ac
count for the manner he had obtained
It. With regard to the sample pad sub
trilled, Mr. Reynolds explained that
the board was in a hurry to obtain the
'.liit bupply and they explained to the
committee that It would be Impossible
to procure the paper they required upon
such short notice, and this was under
stood, but, nevertheless, It was 40-pound
paper. There was a great waste In
cutnnt. down to the size of the pads, as
It was a larger sheet than was required
for tho purpose, hence the weight of the
s.itpen sheets would be reduced accord
ingly. There were 1,200 tablets of this
kind supplied and the supply commit
tee was aware of the special circum
stances. At the time, however, they
did not guarantee those pada, but it was
the best paper that could be obtained
upon the short notice.
Original Order in IMJcneo.
Frank Megargee, wholesale paper
dealer, produced the original order for
the caper given by Reynolds Bros., In
which It stated" that "they were very
particular that It should be 40-pound
paper. Mr. Megargee further explained
that Mr. Withers had reckoned upon
400 sheets to the ream instead of 500, and
had not counted upon the weight of the
wrappers and twine. Mr. Megargee
presented statistics, which showed that
the pad shown by Mr. Withers to repre
sent but 33-pound paper, was made up
of paper weighing over forty pounds,
Commercial marks of every honest
house were always reliable and he did
not agree with Mr. Withers in this re-
spect.
Three reams of paper sent from the
mill were then produced to the commit
tee. The package was weighed show
Ing over 120 pounds, a little over the re
quired forty pounds per ream, and
39 7-12 pounds to the ream without legal
wrappings.
An affidavit was produced from the
manufacturers, the Tlconderoga Paper
and Pulp company, Essex county, N.
Y., that 500 reams of 40-pouud paper
had been made to the order of Megargee
Bro3., for this special purpose. George
P. Schwenker, of The Tribune office, had
also mude an affidavit that the paper
used for the first supply of pads was of
forty pounds to the ream.
As these proofs were being advanced,
one after the other, Mr. Withers kept
up a running comment, and had donned
his overcoat and hat and started out of
the room several times, and did not ap
pear anxious to await the hearing of
all the defense.
The committee heard evidence for
over an hour and a half and decided to
present their report to the board of
control on Monday night.
ONE KIND OF POKER GA3IE.
The Law Took a Hand and Pressed to the
Limit.
Charles Turey, an old soldier, ap
peared before Alderman Fuller yester
day afternoon and confronted John
Thomas and John Carey, charged with
robbing Furey of $44. Furey declared
that last Thursday, when he had drawn
his pension, John Thomas followed him
all day through the city and finally,
after many hours of marching and
steady drinking, steered him Into a
house on Franklin avenue, where h
was Introduced to John Carey, who sat
behind thejdesk and was cashier of
the establishment. They played
"poker" and $4 soon disappeared and
In a short time a handkerchief contain
Ing $40 followed suit. ,
Thomas and Carey were Indignant
and made a show of cross-examlnutlon,
which, however, only' elicited stronger
evidence against them.
Chief Simpson asked for a remand
and stated that other complaints had
been made against the prisoners and
that evidence would be forthcoming to
prove other oases of swindling commit
ted by them. They were accordingly
remanded, ball In $500 not being sup
plied.
A young girl, who was arrested with
the defendants, was then given a hear
Ing and stated that her name warf
Emily - Williams, better known as
"Bess" Williams. 8) e explained her
presence at the house as an Intimate
friend of John Thomas, but denied that
she was aware that he already had a
wife, She is 23 years of age and was
born In Hyde Park, her father, at pres
ent, living at. Biomley avenue. She
had been away from home for two
years, principally at Wiikes-Barre and
Hazleton. She was well dressed and
appeared a well-educated girl, and the
alderman remanded her In order that
her father be communicated with to
rescue hi3 daughter from the life of
immorality. The father attended at 8
o'clock last night and paid a flue of
$10, which stcurod his daughter's re
lease. The taso is cxcllins attention among
the denizens of Hayraond court and
Center street, and the friends of the
prisoners seem afraid of approaching
too close to the police quarters to fur
nish ball or othciwlr.e assist.
FOURTEEN STRl'l'Tl'BES BURNED
.Mndtoun Visl'cd by a Serious Confla
gratiou Marly Yesterday In the Absence
of a Water System the Keaidonts Were
Almost Powerless.
A fearful visitation from fire over
took the village of Mudtown, In Old
Forge township, at an early hour yes
terday morning. The business portion
of the town was wiped out and fourteen
structures were reduced to ashes. The
total loss Is estimated at a figure rang
ing between $15,000 and $20,000.
There Is not a water plug In the vil
lage, and when the fire broke out all
the hapless residents could do was to
stand and watch the flames eat up
eleven homes. In the neighborhood of
seventy uerun3 are houseless.
On the east slds of the street In the
building owned by Michael Hannick,
of Taylor, and occupied as a saloon by
John Harvt y the fire originated. Stories
are recalled of the alleged threats made
by an Italian some months ago to burn
down Harvey's hotel, and It is preva
lently believed that the threat was suc
cessfully carried out.
Harvey's saloon Is an old ramshackle
and It fed the flames with choice mate
rial for a conflagration. Joyce's hotel
was the next to catch, and with four
buildings In Humes and the wind blow
ing across tho street, the fierce heat
was not long In Igniting the houses on
the o:r.iosite side. .
The hotel of Charles J. Keogh was tho
first to take fire, and in a little while
the big hotel building and hall of Jumos
Sheridan's was ablaze. The fire burned
everything in its way, including barns,
out houses and fences. v
Eight of the buildings destroyed were
two-story frame buildings and the rest
were one and a half stories high. All
of them, except the building In which
Keogh's hotel was conducted, were In
sured for sums running between $500
and $1,500.
Dr. J. J. Timlin had an office In
Thomas Lynch's house and saved his
valuable library and his surgical In
struments. John Harvey's family, It Is asserted.
lost every cent in their possession, In
cluding $500 in cash, which was burned
up.

Something to Say About
Good Hods.
An unusual large number of well
known business men attended last
night's meeting of the board of trade,
attracted no doubt by the many ques
tions of Importance which were to be
considered.
The manufacturing committee report
ed progress on the tapestry concern and
cash register company which desire as
f:
slstance In establishing their Interests
In Scranton.
The committee on public safety cited
the numerous Incendiary llres of lute
and recommended the appointment by
the mayor of a fire marshal whose duty
It shall be to ascertain the cause of all
llres and bring guilty persons to jus
tice. The report suggested the lmport-
nce of the matter and urged that the
Ity solicitor be asked to draft an ordin
ance creating the office of fire marshal.
T. H. Dale opposed tho measure on
the ground that it Is Impolitic to multi
ply municipal offices and because the
chief of the fire department has ample
uthoilty to detect and arrest person?
guilty of incendiary flre3.
W. T. Smith and R. W. Luce spoke of
the great need of bringing arson fiends
to Justice and cited the large number
of recent fires caused by Incedlarism.
Mr. Luce referred to the blaze In the
Howley Bros., building as a deliberate
ttempt to destroy the structure.
Philadelphia .Man's Views,
A letter to Mr. Luce from R. M. Cra
mer, or Philadelphia, an underwriter
thoroughly posted on fire matters, de
scribed the office of the Philadelphia
fire marshal who Is appointed by the
mayor and la clothed with police au
thority. The writer titated that the
knowledge of the existence of the office
tends to reduce Incendiarism.
The report was adopted.
The board of trade exchange commit
tee reported favorably on the establish
ing of an office under the supervision of
the secretary for the purpose of keep
ing u posted list of local securities
which are wanted or are for sale. The
committee suggested that ',4 or 1 per
cent, be charged for transfers to any
who are not members of the board and
that no member of the board shall have
pecuniary interest In the revenue of the
exchange.
The recommendations were adopted
and W. W. Watson, W. H. Peck and H.
Anderson appointed the committee to
perfect plans for conducting the ex
change. A report of a special committee on
the guns of the C. C. Brooks Arms com
pany Btated that the mechanism and
patent principle Is perfect In Idea and
practical, and recommended that en
couragement be offered the company's
desire to locate In Scranton. The re
port was received and filed.
Bids for printing the proposed annual
report were presented by committee
and their recommendations adopted
that the contract be awarded Frederick
Schoen at a price of $3.041,4 per page
In the Interest of Good Koads.
County Surveyor A. B. Dunning, jr.,
addressed the board In the Interest of
good roads. He said in part that too
much money Is not spent In road build
ing and repairing, but It Is misapplied.
Reference was made to the "good
roads bill" now drafted In the Interest
of the highway and improvement com
mlttee of the Pennsylvania division of
American wheelmen, and whloh, after
revision, will probably bo presented In
the legislature.
The bill does not create new offices
or Increase salaries, but creates a spec
ial tax, the same as for bridges, which
Is expended by the grand Jury. Road
work Is let by contract and Is per
formed under the supervision of the
county surveyor and supervisors.
Mr. Dunning, produced authorltlve
figures showing the cost In 1S93 of road
repairing per mile ns follows In differ
ent localities: Old Forge township
$219; Lackawanna township, $348; North
Ablngton township, $22. Notwlth
standing the difference between the
cost In North Ablngton ond other town
ships the former has bceter roads. It
reveals the Imperfection of the present
road system.
After a discussion of the question and
a vote of thanks to Mr. Dunning the
meeting adjourned.
