CONCERNING SUPT. BYRNES
V'ndcr the Twenty Year Folic Law the
Suporlntcudout Is Entitled to a Pen
siou of $3,000 Per Annum A
Reorganized Force.
By the United Press.
New York, Dec. 31. President James
X Martin, of the police department, will
resign his office within a. few days. Mr.
Marttin himself made the announce
ment. He said: "My friends know that I
have been' anxious to retire from One
police department for some time. This
place has never been congenial to me,
nnd now that the investigation of the
department by 'the Lexow committee
has concluded, I intend to resign. I did
not resign under fire. My resignation
will be in the hands of Mayor Strong in
a few days. Concerning 'the testimony
given by Mr. Uyrnes before the Lexow
committee I have this to say: As presi
dent of this department I don't wish to
enter into a controversy with the super
intendent or anyone else. But I em
phatically deny that the board or I
personally have ever done anything: to
Interfere with 'the superintendent In
thn proper discharge of his duties."
The one topic of discussion around
police headquarters today and In police
olrcles generally was Superintendent
"lByrne's action in placing his applica
tion for retirement from the force in the
Oiarids of Mayor-elect Strong, in police
circles the universal impression is that
Mr. Byrnes will 'be t the head of the
nv-organlzed police force.
The question has been raised as to
whether or not the police board would
retire Mr. Byrnes in the event that
Mayor-fleet Strong should decide to
forward his application to the commis
sioners. The board 'has refused to re
tire able-bodied officers. Under the
twenty-year law Mr. Byrnes Is entitled
to a pension of J3,000 per annum.
, BYRNES ALL KIUIIT.
Lexow Committee I'nablo to Find Evi
denco Against Him.
J3y the United Press.
New York, Dec. 31. Senator Lexow
was asked today what he thought of
some of the criticisms of the committee
and more particularly with reference to
Home of the sharp things which have
been said regarding the explanation of
Superintendent Byrnes.
"Well," said he, "we expected we
would be criticised whether we had
Byrnes on the stand or not. And if
we are criticised adversely it will not
only be unfair, but unjust. Byrnes
was asked to account for his wealth
and he did so.
' "There was not a bit of evidence to
show that he was guilty of corruption,
and now, as a matter of fact, this city,
this Btate, almost every 'state in the
union, was scraped with a fine tooth
comb In order to get some evidence
cigalnst him, but It could not be found.
Byrnes, as a matter of fact, challenged
any one inside or outside the depart
ment to show that he was ever guilty
of a single wrong act."
Senator Lexow characterized as a
"He" the statement that Byrnes had an
agreement with the committee1 that he
should be let down easy on the Btand.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Ldhlgh Valley cut-off operators F. A.
Higglns and W. E. Evans have been
promoted, ithe .former as Wyoming di
vision extra operator and the latter
nlg'ht operator at Penobscot.
Calvin Pardee, who was recently chos en
'to fill the presidency of 'the Leihigh
Coal and Navigation company CRUsed
by the death of E. B. Leisenrlng, will
assume the duties of the office today.
The introduction of a baggage ex
press service, in connection with their
trolley line, has been definitely decided
on by the managers of the Camden,
Oloueestr and Woodbury, N. J., Elec
tric railway.
Each member of the Central's pas
senger crew on the Upper Lehigh
branch was presented with a Christmas
dinner and a new dinner pail by Con
gressman and Mrs. John Leisenrlng, of
Upper Lehigh,
Dick & Co., the extensive stripping
contractors of Hazloton, are preparing
to open up another large stripping at
No. 10 Honey Brook. The vein of coal
that lies under the surface there la a
large one 'and will yield big profits to
the owners.
The allotment for January will be
about 4T per cent., provided the agree
ment entered 'Into by the various coal
companies last week Is consummated.
This will mean about twelve days work
ait each of the collieries for the month.
The collieries of the Lehigh Valley Coal
company will resume work tomorrow
after a week's idleness.
Now York Engineering and Mining
Journal: "There are many persons who
manage to derive considerable comfort
from the thought that the unanimous
recognition by the presidents of the
necessity of concerted action In the fu
ture augurs well for the prospects of the
trade. But then, some people are stub
born optimists even though they have
followed the doings of the anthrauite
interests for several years past."
A German periodical devoted. to wood
Industries announces that food pro
ducts consisting partly of wood are now
manufactured. At Berlin a factory has
been built which Is turning out about
200 quintals of wooden bread a day.
Sawdust Is subjected to chemical treat
ment, after which it is mixed with one
third farina and prepared like ordinary
bread. The product at present serves
only as food for horses, but the Berlin
Tramway company, which Is the most
Important customer of the factory. Is
well pleased with the results. The
manufacturers say that wooden bread
constitutes also an excellent food for
man.
Philadelphia Stockholder: "An Im
portant event of the week will be the
meeting announced by the so-called Le
high Valley stockholders' committee for
Wednesday evening. Its Importance,
however, does not lie in the direction
of changing the result of the election,
for the success of the management's
ticket Is already assured; and that, too,
without the support of the Asa Packer
estate stock, as President Wilbur and
his associates already possess sufficient
stock to re-elect themselves, even with
out the Packer block. But the meeting
will necessarily force the opposition to
expose Its hand, and its strength or
weakness will then be clearly de
veloped." Philadelphia Inquirer: "In some way
the Impression has obtained currency
that an anthracite trust or pool similar
to tihe trunk line pool Is contemplated
by the anthracite presidents. The germ
of truth in this is that If the pooling
amendment passes through congress
President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania,
will consider tihe wisdom of making
some arrangements with the other
companies. Heretofore the Pennsyl
vania has never been willing to do any
thing of the kind, and has mined Its
product without regard to the other
companies and has not always stood
up with the others In the matter of
prices. That this traditional policy
will be changed In any event. Is a mat
ter of grave doubt, but even If a change
should be made there Is no likelihood of
any anthracite combination that will be
binding. The state authorities of Penn
sylvania have 'had more than one brush
with the anthracite managers and the
laitter have no -desire to try It agmln.
Any pool that would call for the pay
ment of a money penalty by one com
pany to another could not be enforced
and anything short of this would bo
futile. At the same time It is possible
for the companies to come to a butter
understanding than they have now. If
every Interest will agree to submit to
the dictation of a central selling agen
cy thait will regulate the output of each
company, then Indeed the trade can be
managed with profit and satisfaction.
This will be accomplished some day,
and if the people who now control the
trade were properly handled It could
be mtinnged now."
A Baltimore dispatch Bays: The
great project for utilizing the water
power of the 'Susquehanna river to
furnish electricity to Philadelphia, Wil
mington, Baltimore, Washington and
paints In Delaware and Maryland along
the line has assumed definite shape. A
company has Just been Incorporated
here, to be known as the Susquehanna
River Electric company, of Baltimore
city, with M. H. Housemu'ii, George K.
McGraw, John S. Bull and Wlnfleld J.
Taylor, all of Haltlmore, nnd Charles
R, McConkey, of Peach Bottom, Pa., as
Incorporators. The articles of Incor
poration place the capital Mock of the
concern at $100,000, and this amount has
already been subscribed for In full. Thn
construction of tihe plant at Conowlngo
and the necessary cables for transmit
ting the electric power to Baltimore and
Philadelphia will, of course, cost much
more. As to the amount of power furn
ished, that Is simply dependent upon
the multiplicity of oanals and turbine
wheels, each turbine being capable of
running a generator of about 0,00)
horBe-power. The works will probably
be started on a basis of from 10,000 to
15,000 horse-power. The cost of furnish
ing electric- power In Baltimore and
Philadelphia, bo generated, Is estimated
to be about one-half of the present cost
per horBe-power. It is understood that
some forty-five feet fall of water can be
secured, and the power can be run up to
100,000 horse-power, If required. The
cost of producing electric power by the
consumption of coal Is estimated to be
Ix mills per horse-power per hour; a
small Item of expense, it would appear,
put in that way, but very large when
tho number of horse-power and working
hours are multiplied. With water as
the producing or generating power of
eleotrlelty, the cost Is largely decreased
down to the Interest only on the cost of
the plant, and the cost of Its operation
the latter a very small sum.
GREAT MAXWELL BREAKER
An Ideal Coal Plant Will Soon Be in
v Operation at Ashley.
THE NOTABLE IMPROVEMENTS
Appliances For Screening and Cleaning
Coal That Will Do Away with tho Ser
vices of tho Breaker Boy To
Cheapen Price of Coal.
By tho United Press.
Wikes-Barre, Pa., Dec. 31. The great
Maxwell breaker, recently completed at
Ashley, will, In a sort time be started
up for regular work. The teats made a
day or two ago show beyond doubt that
this is nearer the ideal coal plant than
any structure of its use and purpose In
the entire ant'hrac.ite region. The ca
pacity of 'the breaker Is far greater, and
the machinery is a notable improve
ment over any that has ever been put
Inside of a breaker.
The most notable feature, however, is
ono that gives as much disquietude to
the miner as it glve satisfaction to the
coal operators. The machinery for
screening and cleaning the coal has
patent contrivances so arranged that
the slate and the bony coal will drop
Into receptacles by force of gravity, al
lowing the good coal on to the crusher.
These appliances have never before
been used in the anthracite region, but
recent and thorough tests have uemon
strated that they will do all that is ex
pected of them.
'Hie Breaker Boy Doomed.
The result of all this will be that the
breaker boy, who is so Important a
figure in the coal trade, will disappear
from it. A breaker like the new Max
well would employ 200 or 300 of these
boys, n-nd their earnings go far towards
helping out the scanty pittance that the
father earns Inside the mine. The ap
pliance will cheapen the price if pro
duction of a ton of coal and thus, while
it will work dis-tress to a few poor
families In the coal region, it will inure
to the advantage of the average poor
consumer of coal.
Another significant Improvement in
the new breaker Is directly in line with
the exhaustive research of coal men for
the past half dozen years, and that is
the almost complete saving of the small
er sizes of coal. This has been the
principle subject of discussion at all the
great gatherings of coal men, and the
successful solving of the problem will
mean a revolution In some branches of
the coal Industry. The breaker con
tains 3,000,000 feet of lumber and cost
$150,000.
Klicumutism Cured iu a Day.

STOCKS AND BOXDS.
By the United Tress.
New York, Dec. 31. Business for 1S94
closed at tho Stock Exchange with a
dull and listless speculation. The total
transactions were only CS,882 shares.
Reading was somewhat of a feature,
and on reports that the Earle Olcott
plan would be abandoned the seeurlitieo
dropped to 1 per cent. Subsequent
ly there was a slight rally. After busi
ness hour3 it was announced that the
committee had not received the sup
port of suiHclent junior securities to
make the plan effective. The commit
tee has Instructed the trustee of the
general mortgage to begin foreclosure,
but before legal steps are taken It will
present a revived plan of re-organization.
The Grangers were rather heavy.
The Industrials were firmer, especially
lor Cordage and Chicago Oas. These
Issues moved up fo to 1 per cent. Specu
lation closed steady In tone. Net
changes show losses of 14 to per cent.

"It is remarkable how your trip
abroad lias improved you.
"It is the use of the Carlsbad Waters
that has improved me, more than 111 v
trip abroad. I have gained in flesh
and strength since I used them. Many
persons use them for reducing llesh,
because the waters remove all un
healthy tissues and superabundance of
fat, but tliey also build up firm and
solid llesh, which is a sign df perfect
health. I also use the Carlsbad Spru
del Salt early lu the morning with a
glass full of water. It increases the
laxative action of the same. If you
ever suffer from chronic catarrh of the
stomach, biliousness, gout or 1 lieu in a
tism, I advise you to use them." - The

TO OUR patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons thut they will this year hold to their usuar 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 muiiy millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Cro.sby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheut fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour fur above other
brands.
