I'hladelphla Times: The announce ment that r'ne of the nnthra'lto eom panle? are slowly but nutvly passing Into the h.tml3 of a few p?oph Is fol lowed with a r'n'emen from resnmiHl ble rou'ves that as tuan ns the New York, Susquehanna nad Western and Heading companies have been brought Into Hue, there will be a fixed policy adopted with respect to prices for coal. ThlJ policy. It is understood, will be gradually to advance prices until fall, when It Is expected that at least 31 a ton and perhaps 31.50 a ton more can be received for coal than nt the pres ent time. This means on the $1 basis $43,000,000 to be added to the earnings of the coal properties per annum. This 343.0CO.OOO, It Is b.'lleved. can be so ap portioned as to turn Insolvency Into sol vency In the case of Heading, and will do very much also to put the New York, Susquehanna and Western Into the line of dividend payers. It is a programme such as this. It Is raid, which has been the Inducement to capital to undertake the purchases of control of these com ranles a.nd also the burden of concen trating the coal Interests. So far as the Reading Is concerned. It Is asserted that the plan of the syndicate or pool was to buy a great deal more stock than was necessary for control, with the Intention of carrylns; the price to a figure which would allow them to sell part of their line at a sufficient profit to make control cost little or nothing.

The latter bill was objected to by Mr. Jonrs, on the ground that the council could not legally pay for the committee work of a council man. The majority., of tho council thought otherwise, and the bill was ordered paid. Mr. Carroll, of tho Arch bald Water company, presented a bill of 3225 for water rent which wan laid over because the records of the council, do not show that such 1111 amount Is due. The resignation of Auditor T. V. O'lloro, wus uccepted and Mr. O'llorn will serve on the school bourd fur tin ensuing term.

Whatever Justice there may be in the strike of the employes of the Transit company there can bs no question ns to the sentiments of the people here concerning It. It Is pretty safe to say that 90 per cent, of the people sympa thize with the strikers, and are giving them moral support, at least. Since Saturday the ears have been very poor ly patronized, and it Is not nn uncom mon thing to see ear after car pass through without an occupant, except a deputy sheriff and a motorman. For the last two evenings a crowd of boys surrounded Scanlon's branch and make the few minutes the cars are obliged to wait there, very unpleasant for the employes. They have not attempted to do any violence, and the men on the cars seem to take the taunts and Jeers good-naturedly. Everyone hopes that the trouble will soon be settled with satisfaction to all concerned. , MOOSIC. The George IIII1 Post, No. 540, Grand Army of the Republic, hold exercises on Memorial Day, May 30.
