INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Tho price of coal In tho Hocking valley
region has been advanced 5 cents a ton.
A gentleman closely Identified with tho
Olcott-Reudlng committee says that presi
dent Harris has Instructions from the
oommHtoe to Insist upon a percentage
minimum of the anthracite coal business
of 21.il per cent.: if he accepts nnythitig
less than this the. committee will want
to know the reason.
Evidences of coal have been found in the
mountuins north of JtlltWnburi.; and an ef
fort to find a vein is now being made. The
people living In that locality have rulseil
a fund and have engaged prospectors und
drilling apparatus. According to a geo
logist who examined the mountain ut dif
ferent points there Is a vein of coul sonic
where about MiflUnburg.
Philadelphia, March 17. The newly
elected board of directors of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad company met this after
noon lor reorganization. No changes
were nuule In the personnel of the organi
zation and President Roberts was unani
mously re-elected. The total vote cast nt
yesterday's election for directors was 91:1,
tfiil, tho largest ever polled. Last year the
vote was 7i3,3:iS shares.
Shipments of bituminous coal over tho
Huntingdon and Broad Top railroad last
weok, while not as heavy as during the
preceding week, were nevertheless quite
large, aggregating 35, 78ft tons, or 7,!'4S tons
in excess of shipments for the correspond
ing week last year. This brings the totul
shipments for tho year to date to 3iW,l"
tons, against 352.1K! tons for the same time
last year, an increase of 27,737 tons.
Tho anthracite situation Is thus stated
In a sentence: "One dollar a ton added to
present prices means JtH,iJC(,0ty a year. If
the companies even maintain the average
price for the last ten years they would be
a gainer by nearly SI3,oQU,0JO a year. It
Is the clear perception of these facts which
Is making the members of the trade more
an::lons to agree upon some definite pol
icy. It may not be dono this week or next,
but It will be done before long."
The presidents of the tastern bituminous
coal roads will hold a meeting at the Penn
sylvania railroad oftlco In Philadelphia
today to endeavor to arrange a pool for tho
government of tho soft coal trade this
year. The Idea Is to ailot to each company
a percentage of the tidewater trade, the
lino trade not being Interfered with. If
this matter can bo settled satisfactorily It
Is proposed to advance freight rat's
slightly above the rates charged Inst year.
Tho percentage question, however, will le
considered first.
The Pennsylvania Coal company are
about to mako an experiment which will
be watched with Interest by every mine
worker. The smothering of mlno fire
has always been considered & very ques
tionable proceeding unci It is the result of
a test of this kind that tho company Is
now going to reveal. Twenty years ago a
firo broke out In their No. 3 mine near .Mt.
Carmel. The lire got beyond control and
all ordinary methods wero exhausted. H
was not practicable to flood the place so
the smothering process was resorted to.
Tho gangways were closed up, all rrncks
and crevices senleil as nearly air tight us
they could be gotten. For twenty years
tho place has thus been allowed to stand.
Now they propo:o to reopen the gangways
to seo whether tho lire Is out or still burn
ing. New York, Mnroh 27. A member of t!io
anthracite coal committee of five, ap
pointed at tho meeting of the anthracite
coal presidents on Thursday of last week,
says that tho committee has made prog
ress with the work, but that Its labors
were not concluded yesterday. Tho mut
ter under discussion Is of a very deliculo
character, and the committee has liven re
quested to observe unusual precautious
that no Information bo given out until the
report has been submitted to tho presi
dents on Thursday. Reports of a special
arrangement bntwenn the Reading nnd
the Pennsylvania railroad companies mny
be dismissed as Imaginary. It must also
be understood that no demand by any
company will be tolerated by the coal pres
idents as a body. In whatever Is dono,
compromise and a regard to the general
Interests will be the order of the day. No
Improvement In anthracite coal prices Is
discernible. )
The Philadelphia Inquirer thinks that "If
Mr. Sloan or .Mr, Harris or Mr. Olyphant,
who have been In the coal business nil
their lives, were to set about tho tusk of
saving the coal trade, backed by the re
sources that are behind the New Jersey
Central party, there would be good rea
son to look for the attainment of satis
factory results. Rut Mr. Maxwell Is new
to the coal trade; he camo In It In 18S7, und
he has never known a tlmo when tho busi
ness was anything but prosperous. The
years since 1887 have all been good. It Is
a significant fact thai the experienced
men In tho trade are not hopeful of a set
tlement, and the only way out seems to
be through some glguntio speculative
operation, such us a combination by
merger or lease of some of tho companies,
Of Aids there seems to be little prospect,
In spite of the rumors circulating In Now
York that the Pennsylvania railroad Is
back of the deal and has obtalnod a foot
hold In Reading."

Chattanooga, TVnn., March 27. Two
robbers dead and a third mortally
wounded are the results of an attempt
to hold up the south-bound train on
the Cincinnati Southern railroad at 2.30
this morning. The train had Just
emerged from tunnel No. 9, two miles
north of Greengood. Ky., when a white
lantern, swinging In the middle of the
track, Just ahead, brought It to a dead
atop. A tall, lank, bearded country
man, perhnps 45 years old, mounted the
steps of the engine, and thruBtlng the
barrel of a pistol Into the face of En
gineer Tom Springfield, ordered him to
stand still, which lie did, while Fire
man Rnnkin, who was next to the out
law, observed a discreet silence. Three
other men climbed Into the baggage
car, which they evidently mistook for
th express cur.
Three road detectives, Thomas Grif
fin, Will Eddie and Will Altgood, were
In the smoking cur when the train
stopped. Altgood stepped up to see
what wus going on. As ho stepped
down he was ordered to throw up his
hands by a man who had a revolver,
but Instead he pulled his own revolver
and began firing. The other two rob
bers took fright nt the shooting, and
jumping from the baggage car, be
gan a fusilude of shots.
The Robbers Vanquished.
Eddie and tJrlllln appeared on tho
scene and It Is believed they brought
down two of the -robbers, one of whom
died Instantly, while the other lived till
4 o'clock. A third man was wounded In
tho breast, perhaps fatally. He clam
bered upon the tender and refused to
budge until Cumberland Falls was
reached. There he was given In charge
of the operator. Two of the attacking
party escaped.
Olileials of tho road have hud knowl
edge for eonio time of a plot to rob the
train, and the olllcers were in readiness.
The wounded man claims to be a trump
from Pennsylvania. Nuno of the men
were Identified, but are mountaineers.
