CIreulors Issued to the Stockholders by
tho Committee Organized In the In
terest of a Change in the Admin
istration of the Road.
By the United Press.
Philadelphia, Dec. 12. The oppoBitlon
to the present management of the Le
high Valley Railroad company has as
sumed formal shupe by the announce
ment of a committee having been
formed to solicit proxies for the an
nuul election, for the creation of a
new management. The committee
names no candidate. It Is said that
several prominent business as well as
financial men of this city have been
approached and are willing to assist
them In making the change.
A circular has been prepared by the
committee which will be sent to the
stockholders as soon as the complete
list, which Is now being made, Is In
hand. These stockholders will be asked
to give their proxies to the commit
tee so that they can vote them for a
new management.
The committee consists of John A.
Hutchinson, George 1). MeCroary, Will
iam Klwood Speakman and V. A. Hick,
of Philadelphia; Samuel II. llnckett, of
Kaston, Pa., and Charles U. Vun Nos
trand, of New York, each one having
been delegated to act In the capacity of
a receiving agent for those who desire
to send their proxies to them.
Tho Committee's Circular.
The circular issued by the committee
Is as follows:
To the Stockholders of the Lehigh Val
ley Hallroad Company:
Uear Sirs At a meeting of Influential
Stockholders of your company held in this
city, Dec. 7, we were appointed a commit
tee to solicit proxies to be voted at the
annual meeting of the company In oppo
sition to the present management.
As is already well known to you, tha
company after thirty-live years of suc
cessful operation has been dropped from
the list and lost Its Btandlng as dividend
payer, and yet we are unable to obtuln
from the ofllcera of the company proper
statements as to the linnnclal condition
and prospects of tho company.
A complete statement of assets and lia
bilities, to our knowledge has never been
Issued, but from tho figures reported by
tha company we And that It has outstand
ing a large floating debt. We pass no
opinion on the conduct of tho present
management. Comment is unnecessary
so long as you are face to face with the
salient facts that the company pays no
dividends and barely earns its fixed
charges. The forceful eloquence of such
pregnant results teaches Its own humil
iating lesson and Imposes the Imperative
necessity of prompt and concerted action
for the defense of your vested rights and
the protection of your property Interests.
It Is proposed that on receipt of a suf
ficient number of proxies a public meet
ing of stockholders be called, to deeido
upon such a ticket, and which shall have
the support of a majority of the stock
holders at the coming annual election,
Unless you Join with us In prompt ac
tion, we run the risk of another year of
tho present administration.
It Is hoped that you will Immediately
Sign, and return to the committee, the en
closed proxy.
BUSINESS PARALYZED.
Worst Fears of the Punic of Newfound
land Are Kcalhtcd.
By the United Press.
Halifax, N. S.( Dec. 12. Latest infor
mation from St. John's Is to the effect
that the worst fears of the effects of the
panic will be realized. The Commercial
bank is a hopeless wreck, and nearly nil
its directors, who were among the prin
cipal merchants, tare also bankrupt.
The panic lias brought about absolute
ohaos.
Except a very limited number of Can
adian ami United States bank notes, the
money of Newfoundland consists of the
blllsofithe two banks. No one will now
acoept 'tlvese bills, 'hence all business is
paralyzed.

Pottsvllle, Pa., Dec. 12. Three con
victs escaped from the Schuylkill county

WHEN YOU FEEL LANGUID,
dull and heavy, it's your liver that's
at fault, A sluggish, torpid liver de
ranges your stomach and kidneys and
bowels. It poisons your blood. You
feel it "all over."
The best-known remedy in the
World Is Carlsbad. People go there,
not only for a disordered liver, but
for all the diseases that follow it, and
for jaundiee and chronic liver com
plaint and every ailment of the kind.
There's uo need for you to go. You
get precisely the same treatment in the
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, the water solidi
fied at the Spring, or in the imported
waters. In catarrh of the stomach,
dyspepsia, habitual constipation, dia
betes, or any gouty or rheumatic affec
tion, they have been a specific for
hundreds of years.
Take only the genuine imported ar
tide with the signature of ''Eisner &
Mcndelson Co., Sole Agents, New
York," and the seal of the city of
Carlsbad on every bottle. Beware of
the many worthless imitations sold here
as "improved" or "artificial" Carlsbad
Salt,, which consist only of a mature
of common Glauber Salt and Scidlitz
Powder, and in no way have the same
action as the genuine natural remedy
of Carlsbad. Insist upon the genuine.

Archibald, Dec. 12. Mrs. Geiblch, an
aged lady who lives with her nephow,
John Hitter, of South Main tstreet, was
struck by an electric car yesterday af
ternoon und seriously hurt. She was
crossing the track In front of her home
as the car was descending the hill. Be
ing doaf, the old lady did not War the

could not be stopped before it was upon
her. She was thrown down, and dragged
about 100 feet. She was also cut about
the head and otherwise budly shaken
up.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
No. 11 colliery, of the Lehigh Con! and
Navigation company, which was on lire
some time ago, will be ready to resume
Jan. 1.
Byron Adklns, outside foreman for the
West End Coal company at Mocanuquu,
hus resigned und William Hrlggs has
taken his place.
Charlus Emlgh, assistant freight agent
at Plttston junction, has resigned his po
sition to accept one with the Metropol
itan Insurance company.
Will the Jersey Central's quarterly divi
dend be reduced? That Is an all absorb
ing question now. Upon a rumor that It
will the stock Is hovering about near SO.
A 10-Inch vein of coal has been discov
ered by the Lehigh and Wllkes-Harre Coal
company In the tunnel which is being
driven in the east side of its No. 11 slope.
The Lehigh Valley has Just broken the
record by getting a cur loud of freight
through from Chicago to Wllkes-Harre
In fifty-three hours and thirty-five min
utes.
Contractor Edward Lynott has been
awarded the contract for driving the rock
tunnel In the Lance colliery, No. II, Le
high and Wllkes-Harre Coal company, at
Plymouth.
The Lehigh Valley officials are talking
of abandoning the changing of engines on
passenger trulns at .Mauch Chunk. It Is
almost certain, Bays the Record, that in a
short time the new rule will be announced
and engines will take trains from Wllkes-
Harre to Kaston without change.
The recent'dlspatch to the effect that E.
W. ICark had been elected to the presi
dency of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company turns out to huve been Incorrect.
Tho election has been postponed until It
can be known for a certainty whether Mr.
Harris can be a candidate or not. He Is
seeking- re-election to the presidency of
the Heading ami If he should fall will go
back to tho Navigation company.
Pittsburg, Dec. 12. Many of the rnll
roud coal operators of the Pittsburg dis
trict will reduce wages within the next
ten days. The Initiative hns already been
made by Henry I'lorshein, owner of the
Oermanla and Nottingham mines at
Elnleyvllle, on the Wheeling division ot
the Hultlmore and Ohio railroad. This
morning notices were posted at his mln-s
that on and ufter next Monday the rate
for mining will be r5 cents per ton.
The drilling machine which has been in
operation in the euxt gangway ul the
basin of the No. 10 slope, lieaver llrook,
with a view of ascertaining the depth of
a smaller vein. wa9 rewarded on Fri
day night, the desired seam being tapped
at a depth of 41 fi-et. The drill bored
through 10'i feet of coul, but whether
this Is of the thickness of the vein or not
Is not known. Now that the vein is found
It Is expected that a tunnel will be driven
east from the second lift of tho slope to
catch the vein and develop It.
An advertisement which appears In a
Sunbtiiy paper stating that William
Oelger sells river coal ut $1X0 a ton and
Mr. (iclger and several others are making
a pile of money out of a novel venture, is
thus explained by tho Wllkes-Hurro Rec
ord: The Mahanoy creek, which empties
Into the Susquehanna river, drains the
great coal mines of the Mahanoy region
anil receives all the coal dirt. Tlia Jig
gers who go out In bonis have lonsc licoops
und bring up about four tons a cny- to a
crew of two men. This coal finds p. ready
sale at from St.25 to fci a ton. "Big coal,"
that Is coal larger thun pea and buck
wheat, brings i and tlM. At George
town there are nearly 100 men engaged in
Jigging.' At Northumberland It Is a pay
irttr business, one mun having taken out
l,4.ri0 loads last year. The coal deposition
In tho river amounts to thousands of tons
yearly and the amount Jigged can be es
timated at about one-quarter the nmounl
lost. It is a recognized Industry now,
there being two steam Jiggers In operation
and several more In course of construe
tion. In the winter the Jiggers cut
through the ice and scrape along the bot
tOTO. ,
Art Important' opinion on roal leases was
hunde-t down by Judge Woodward, of Lu
lerne county, Tuesday. In 1879 the heirs
of Hcndrfnk H. Wright leased to the Le
high and Wllkes-Harre l onl company
about seventy-five acres of coal land In
Plymouth, said leuso to continue until all
the merchantable coal should be mined,
royalty to be 25 cents per ton, with a
Held minimum annual royalty of W.000.
This was puid until July, lm. when tho
company refused to make further pay
ments, alleging that the minimum roy
alties already paid aggregated more than
all the coal covered by the lease. The
heirs determined to forfeit the lease.
The report of the master was to the ef
fect that plaintiffs had mined 79,000 tons
and has paid for 140,000 tons, had paid for
8,691 tons more than was mlnable und'ir
the tract, that the grant was a sale of
ull the .coal . in the ground and the $1,000
In annual payments was the purchase
money, and had bcon all paid and there
could be no forfeiture, that plaintiffs are
entitled to a reasonable time to take out
th remaining coal without further pay
ments. Therefore, that defendants be re
strained from forfeiture of lease or pre
vention of mining. Judge Woodward de
cree that failure of coal does not dls
tharge (lessee from payment of rent.
The obligation means what It says. It
Is therefore decreed that the finding of
the master be overruled, the prayers of
the bill refused and the bill be dismissed
at the cost of the plaintiffs ,

New York, Dec. 12. The missing of the
Patterson bill allowing pooling by the

Patterson bill when It reaches that boilv.
In the afternoon Sugar loomed Into prom
inence, and on a more active business the
price rose to SWVi, ex-dlvldend of 3 per
cent. The rise near the close was due to
the announcement that the senate had
refused to take up the houso free sugar
bill. Distillers was higher, rising to l'H
on a rumor that the insiders will with
draw their plan for the reorganlzatoin of
the property. The market closed very

Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many rat
rons that thev will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT 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. 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.
