2 TITE SCBANTON TniBUNE-TniTRSDIVT MORN-Ia. XOYEMBER 29, 1894. Industrial and 3IIXE, MILL AND RAILROAD. One of the most Interesting equity Bulls ever heard before the Luzerne county courts Is now on before Judge Rice, and bids fair to last several days. It is the attempt of several farmers to prevent the completion of the boring of the great Jeddo tunnel. The plaintiffs, "who are a dozen farmers from Schuyl kill valley, are represented by Attorneys John T. Lenahan and John Gorman, and the defendants, the Jeddo Tunnel com pany, are defended by ex-Attorney Gen eral Palmer and F. W. Wheaton, of this city, and Attorney Samuel Dickson, of Philadelphia. For Beveral years the work has been in progress. Men start ed to bore a tunnel through Jeddo mountain and it Is now complete. The tunnel Is five miles long and cost about $2,500,000. So exact were the calcula tions that the main openings, after be dng driven for two and a half miles through the mountains, met within six Inches of each other, and a bore hole from the top of a mountain penetrated the tunnel within the confines of a small circle, drawn on the roof before the boring was commenced. The tunnel Is to drain the big Harleigh and Eber vale mines, and numerous adjoining workings which have been flooded and useless for years. It will assure un out put of millions of tons of coal and will result In the re-building of a dozen. min ing towns which twenty years ago were populated and prosperous, but which since the flooding of the mines huve been practically deserted. Everything was complete for the fir ing of the blast which was to shatter the walls separating the lower workings of the mines from the tunnel and thus lib erate the great quantities of water In the mines when an Injunction was nerved on the company by a number of farmers to prevent them completing the work, and it is this Injunction that Is now being argued before Judge Hice. The farmers all own line farms along the banks of Butler Creek, from which they get their water supply. The wat er liberated from the mines would fluw along this creek, and the farmers claim as It contains a great deal of coal dirt and Is sulphur water, that their farms would be practically destroyed, and they want the company to be restrained from tapping the mines or else give them proper compensation for their loss. The case Is going on very slowly, as a great many legal points are being ar gued. So far. Dr. W. B. Schober, the chemist at the Lehigh university; Pro fessor Dean, of the Harry Hillman academy, and Dr. Chambers, a special ist of New York, have been examined and have given expert testimony, and William M. Jones, mining engineer, has testified regarding the amount of coal dust that would probably be washed from the workings. The witnesses so far agree that this farm land would be practically destroyed for all farming or pasture purposes. The company is making a stubborn fight. ' The statement of earnings of the two Heading companies for October Is rather better than was to be expected. In view of the unsatisfactory condition of the coal trade. The entire anthracite output In the month was 4,136,859 tons, as against 4,525,663 tons In October last year, and while It Is not known how the output was divided, yet It Is entirely safe to assume that the Reading sus tained Its full share of the decrease. Then again the receipts from the sale of coal were materially diminished, by the low prices prevailing. This drawing for determining the miners' wages gave the average prices at Schuylkill Haven during the month as $2.26, as against $2.60 In October last year. It is not Hurprlslng, therefore, that with less coal to sell and with prices probably 30 cents a ton lower the Coal and Iron company shall make a bad showing, and the report shows a decrease in profits of $416,000. The railroad com pany did excellently well In view of the decrease coal tonnage. Still the result of the two companies Is a decrease In net earnings of $559,628.20, a decrease In charges of $48,11911.48 and a decrease in surplus of $310,636.72. This can, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, only be called bad, although fully accounted for by the explanations given above. For eleven months of the fiscal year the net earn ings show a decrease of $1,324,870, the charges an Increase of $82,280.45 and the surplus a decrease of $1,407,150. The Hendrlck Manufacturing com pany of Oarbondale has recently com pleted an extensive system of automatic sprinklers In the mounting, pattern 'and carpenter shops of the Scranton Stove works, for the better protection of the premises against fire, similar to that in use in its own shops. Some idea of Its magnitude can be obtained, says the Herald, from the statement that It Included about 900 sprinklers, each pro tecting an area of from eighty to 100 square feet and that, about 7,500 lineal 'A STUDY. OF FACES, no matter where you go, will show you how many, many people ought to be taking Carlsbad Sprudel Salt. There's the thin, peaked face that tells of perverted nutrition. There's the fat, puffy face of flatulent obesity. There's the otherwise pretty face that's marred by skin disorders and erup tions; the yellow, haggard face of the dyspeptic; the dull, drawn faces of sufferers from stomach and liver and kidney troubles. All these people need the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt It goes to the root of the whole matter. It purifies the blood, dissolves obstructions, clears the system, and cures permanently, in natural way, every derangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys. Beware of the many imitations sold as "ira proved" or "artificial" Carlsbad Salt These generally consist only of ordi nary Seidlitz Powder and Glauber Salt,- sold by unscrupulous dealers upon the reputation of the genuine, Carlsbad Salt. The only genuine imported Carlsbad Salt has the signature of ."Eisner & Mendelson Co., Agents, New York," on every bottle. Commercial. feet of wrought Iron pipe was used in placing them. This system of sprink lers is supplied with wajer from two sources, a 6-Inch 'main connecting with the system of the Scrantpn Gas and Water company at one end of the works, and a 4-Inch main connecting with the system of the Dunmore Gas and Water company, at the other, the former un der ninety pounds and the latter under 140 pounds pressure; a series of auto matic check valves control the sup ply, so that either system Is called into play whenever the heat caused by an lnclplents fire melts the solder on one or more of the sprinkler heads, which thus become unseated, splashing the water against a splash plate on the sprinkler and throwing It against the ceiling and walls. The melting point of the solder is at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. For the further protection of the premises, five standard double-nozzle Matthews' fire hydrants were placed outside, but In the Immediate vicinity of the buildings; for supplying which about 1,800 feet of 6-Inch pipe were laid. These two sources of supply guarantee positive service at all times. By the construction of this protective system, the Scranton Stove works has materially decreased the premium rate, so much so that the cost of the system, which ran Into several thousand dollars, will revert to them in the saving effected, to say nothing of the Increased security against fire, which such a system affords, and which every prosperous concern requires. MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES; Coal tonnage over the Reading rail road for the week ended Nov. 24 de creased 11.763 tons; for the year to date It decreased 855,215 tons. Citizens of Rlegelsvllle have sub scribed stock to build a factory for manufacturing window screens which will employ about fifty hands. Vice" President Voorhecs, of the Read ing, Is quoted as saying that Port Read ing, the line built from Port Richmond to tide water, will earn Its expenses and fixed charges this year. : The work of filling the burning Luke Fldler mine at Shamokln with water is not progressing very rapidly at pres ent. Excavations are already under way at the head of the new shaft for the foundation for a pair of big engines that will be used to pump water out of the mine ufter It is believed that the lire has been extinguished. The four new tubular boilers have been finished and the colliery will have an abundant supply of steam on hand when the work of pumping out the water begins. STOCKS AND BONDS. By the United Press. New York, Nov. 23. The opening dealings at the stock exchange were characterized by a good deal of firm ness owing mainly to an advance of 1 per cent. In Northwest to 90. The rise In this stock was attributed to pur chases of about 10,000 shares for the ac count of a leading bear operaitor. The general list fulled to sympathize to any extent, improving only and per per cent. London took several thous and shares of St. Paul and other stocks. The rise only seemed to serve to stimu late those operaitlng for a decline to renewed efforts and In a short time the whole list developed weakness. The decline was gradual at first, but as the absence of support became more marked the downward movement gathered force. The apprehension of a most unfavora ble statement of earnings for October by the Burlington and the rise In exchange induced selling for these ac counts and the fact that the success of the government loan has utterly failed to stimulate speculation also acted as a damper upon the market. Later In the day a junior gained currency that the sugar trust had ordered all the refineries in the combination closed, and a sharp drive was made against that Btock, which dropped from 89 to 86. Officials stated, after the close of busi ness, that It was not true and the re fineries would be closed only over the Thanksgiving holiday. After Sugar the greatest declines were; 1 In Dela ware and Hudson; 1"& in Lead; 1 In Northwest; 1 in. Gas; 14 Jn St. Paul; and 1 in Rock Island; In Burlington; 1 In Lake Shore; and 2 In Michigan Central. Final quotations showed a re covery of 14 to 1 per cent. Total sales, 217,000 shares.

It Receives tho Official Endorsement of Eminent Experis and a Jury of Representative Citizens. The suit brought by Ohio's fuod com missioner against a Cincinnati drug gist for gelling Paskola on the ground that It was nothing but glucose, result ed In a great victory for Paskola and a verdict against the state. During the course of the trial Pro fessor Shaller, of the University of Cin cinnati, testified that Paskola was not glucose, and even If It was, It' would be harmless. He also bore witness to Its activity as a digestive agent. Professor William Dlckore, of the Miami college, testified to the same facts. So did Professor Schmidt, the chemist of the board of health; Profes sor William Hoffman and others. A practical test was made In court, showing the digestive action of Pas kola on eggs and meats of various kinds, whereas glucose under precisely the same conditions produced no effect whatever. This test but confirmed the experts' statements that proved Paskola to be of great value in Indigestion and wast ing diseases. This verdict disposes of the malicious attack that has been made against Pas kola by Interested rivals, and suits have now been brought against the proprie tors of a well known emulsion of cod liver oil for having given wide circula tion to a false formula and other mis representations regarding It. The animus of this attack will be the better understood when It is stated that Paskola is being largely used In the place of cod liver oil. Scranton Wholesale .Market.
