Wilkes-Barre, March 30, W.
Oentlemen: I gratefully appreciate tho
good will Known In your communication
of March 28. Replying directly to your In
quiry, I would say, that If tho bill pending
In the legislature becomes a law. I would
esteem It a very great honor to be chosen
as a member of the uppellate court. Sin
cerely thanking you for the offer of your
efforts to bring about that result, and for
this expression of your confidence, I re
main yours very truly, Chas. E. Rice.
To F. W. Wheaton, Esq., and others.
Tomorrow the mental strain of the
aspirants for the several appointments
to be made by the new city councils
will be relieved. For chairman of se
lect council George B. Reap and John
J. Kearney are candidates. P. F. Joyce
and George F. Cuss aspire to the chair
of common council. One of the most
Important appointments to be made
will be that of city clerk, the aspirants
fur which are J. E. Dempsey, present
borough secretary; Joseph O'Royle and
J. J. MoHale. Much care should be ex
prcised In selecting a person for the
position of city clerk, as the duties
Imposed upon that ofllce are of the most
intricate nature, and will require a man
of thorough business ability to care for
the numerous books of the new city.
In the appointment of chief of police
the name of Joseph Loftus should not
be overlooked. Mr. Loftus has acted
In the capacity of chief of borough
police for the past year and has proved
himself to be alert and efficient In the
performance of his duties. Borough
Constable Edward Small should also
be remembered for the proficient man
ner in which he has disposed of the
duties Imposed upon him.
' The most unique and applicable sign
recently brought before the notice of
the public is the one hung by C. S.
Kurschel last week in front of J. J.
Siangan's dry goods house, on North
Main street. The sign embodies the
motto held forth by Mr. Mangan for
many years: "The Dollar Store." It
has a large fac simile of a silver dollar,
date 1893, with the name of the mer
chant, J. J. Mangan, of a neat script
pattern, in gold leaf, on a panel be
side It.

Owing to the complaints of the
numerous readers of The Tribune as
to the lack of our Pittston letter In thj
past two issues we wish to offer an ex
planation. We had somewhat lost our
grip on the pen and was compelled to
submit to the hand of the demon grip
for a few days. We hope in future to
be able to attend to our duties without
further interruption. We also wish to
tiranR the Nows-Coaler's representa
tive for the courtesy shown by him on
Wednesday night In sending to The
Tribune a report of the explosion and
Are which occurred on South Slain
street.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
The trunk lines are beginning to realize
that the immigrant business is on the
wane, and are disposing of their second-"
class coaches. It Is stated that 40 per
cent, fewer immigrants were handled by
the trunk lines In lHiH than In ISM, and this
year that class of travel Is even lighter.
It Is said that the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company has made a contract to de
liver 12,000 tons of steel rails to a California
railroad at 122.75 per ton alongside of ship
In Jersey City. The negotiations for this
contract have been under way for some
time and there has been much competition
for It. It was thought the foreigners
would get tho order, but thty were finally
barred out because they could not deliver
the rails In time. , .
The Jersey Central railroad's statement
of earnings for February makes the fol
lowing comparison with tho same month
last year: Gross earnings, $7'J3,735; in
crease, $20,074; expenses, $572,031; decrease,
$t,019; net earnings, $221,704; increase, J1S,-
123. For tho months of January and Feb
ruary the gross earnings are $1,040,108, a
decrease of $2.4; expenses, $1,177,829, a
decrease of $25,376, anil net earnings, $403,
339, an Increase of $22,772.
In preparing to handle the World's fair
business in 1892 the Pennsylvania company
built uOO cars called excursion cars, and so
constructed that after their use for that
purpose they could be constructed into
gondola rarH. These cars Were, equipped
with good seats, but not highly uphol
stered, and many of them wore never used.
Now the company Is selling these seats,
which cost $10 or more, for $2 and con
verting the cars Into gondola cars, they
being of a very substantial build.
The coke trade Is keeping up Its boom.
Last week's production In tho Connells
vllle region Increased several thousand
tons, but was still 8,559 tons leas than the
shipments, that amount of stork coke be
ing removed. There are now 15,248 ovens
In blimt and 2,580 Idle, Nearly overy phwt
In the region made six full days. The de
mand for coke Is taxing the ability of the
ovens to produce It and the railroads to
haul It. It Is said the natural demand for
coke has advanced 20 per cent, slnco the
first of the year by the starting up of Idle
furnaces.
The statement of shipments' of anthra
cite coal (approximated) for the week
ended March 23, 1895, does not differ mate
rially from those lBsued for tho previous
weeks of the month. The most Btrlklng
feature of the statement Is that which
tends to show & further restriction In tho
output. This fact has been apparent from
tho first week In tho month, as there has
been a falling off In production In each
successive week. In the first two days of
March the shipments amounted to" about
275,874 tons; In the week ended March 9
they were 870,598 tons; week ended March
10, 849,385 tons, and lost week they were
804,022 tons. This makos the total for tho
first twenty-three days of March 2,779,
878 tons, or an average of 121,731 tons. As
indicating the restriction, It may bo said
that the average for the first sixteen dnys
of March was 121,740 tons, so that tho
avoiage for last week was less than tho
preceding week by 8,000 tons. If the dally
averago of 121,734 tons is continued to tho
end of tho month the total production for
March will amount to 3,773,754 tons, or 273,
754 tons in excess of the output agreed
upon by the sales agents at their meet
ing in February. While last week's
shipments were about 45,000 tons less than
tho preceding week, they were, neverthe
less, 259,298 tons more than for the corre
sponding week last year. Last week's
restriction was confined entirely to tho
Wyoming and Lehigh regions, both of
which produced considerably less coal
than they did In the preceding week, while
the Schuylkill produced about 500,000 tons
more. The Stockholder thinks that these
figures would be Important were It not
for the fact that the agreed 0 it put for
March was largely In excess ol the mar
ket's requirements,
OPERATIONS UPON IDIOTS
Interesting Work, at the New York
Tost Graduate Hospital.
ADVANCEMENT IX SURGERY
Dr. S. B. Powell Opens tho'Skulls of Two
Infants and Kcmoves lloncs That
prevent tlrain Development.
Children Are Doing Well.
New York, March 31. The most In
teresting operations were performed by
Dr. S. B. Powell at tho New York Post
Graduate hospital last Tuesday. If
they prove to be successful, as there Is
every reason at present to believe will
bo the case, two children may be trans
formed from idiots Into beings possess
ing a fair amount of Intelligence.
At the meeting of the county medical
society Inst Monday night Dr. Powell
read a paper describing operations on
the cranium for the purpose of aiding
in the development of the brain. This
operation, in brief, consists of taking
out a piece of the skull bone from tho
top of the hcud, thus affording the
cramped brain an opportunity to grow
and develop In cases where its growth
htis been obstructed in Infancy by tho
premature closing of tho fontenelles,
as certain soft bones In the heads of
children are termed.
A large number of surgeons witnessed
tho operation on Tuesday. The two
children were each 2 years old and had
been idiots since birth. The head of the
child selected for the first operation
having been shaved, It was put under
the Influence of ether. A strip of mus
lin was bound around its head to pre
vent loss of blood. Dr. Powell then
made a long cut down the center of the
head, beginning nt the forehead and
ending in the crown.
Tho Silver Shield.
The scalp was then laid back, and
four trephine openings made In the
skull, a broad strip of silver was then
thrust gently into one ot tho openings
und worked along between the brain
nnd the skull until It protruded from
the neck 'hole, thus forming a shield
betweent the brain nnd the skull ob
viating danger of accident if the saw
should slip.
A minute circular saw, operated by
electricity, was then brought into use.
A cut was made from one trephined
hole to the other, and a second one then
made about one-eighth of an Inch from
the first. The intervening piece of bone
was then removed, leaving the brain ex
posed. Two more cuts were made be
tween the other two trephined holes,
the bone removed, the silver strips
withdrawn, tho Haps of scalp drawn
back und stitched, and the requisite
bandages applied. The operation lasted
25 minutes. The second operation was
performed in a similar manner. Both
children are doing well. The ultimate
results of the operations will be
watched with much Interest.
