INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
William Jones, of Plymouth, Inside
fire boss at Lance colliery, will leave on
Saturday for a few months' stay In
Wales.
The record was broken at Jersey No.
8 on the Lehigh and Wllkes-Barre Coal
company at Ashley on Friday, when 450
oars were hoisted from the mines and
run through the breaker, the largest In
the history of the colliery.
The Reading Coal and Iron company's
coal storage yards at Mahanoy City and
Lardlngvllle, with an aggregate capac
ity of nearly 400,000 tons, are filled with
surplus coal. It Is said Reading now
has more coal on hand than for months
past.
Shipments of Lykens Valley coal over
the Summit Branch railroad lust week
aggregated 9,979 tons, an Increase over
the same week lust year of 1,516 tons.
For the year to date shipments were
203,469 tons agailnst 207,811 tons for the
corresponding period last year, a de
crease of 4,341 tons.
The Lehigh Valley railroad has ap
pealed from the decision In the fight for
the wire mill business In Mauoh Chunk,
which has been rendered In favor of
the Jersey Central. The Lehigh Valley
bad a monopoly of the traffic for 'en
years, but last winter the Jersey Cen
tral wanted to put in a siding, to do
which It was necessary to cross the Le
high Valley tracks at grade. Counter
suits were then started In court, and
Joseph T. Blery, who was appointed
referee, decided In favor of the Jersey
Central. Tho business amounts to
$200,000 per annum.
The Hanover Coal company's colliery
ait Sugar Notch has shut down for an
Indefinite time on account of the low
prices that coal sells for in all markets
and the limited quantity of coal remain
ing In the property yet to be mined.
Mr. Drlcsbach, of the Hanover Coal
company, st sited to. the Wllkes-Barre
Record that If the large companies con
tinue to overstock the market and sell
their coal at any price the buyer chooses
to pty other collieries of Individual
operators and companies will soon be
obliged to stop mining In order to stop
heavy losses. .1.
The Reading collieries made a spurt
last week, Increasing their output about
14,000 tofts, compared with the preced
ing wcekwhlle the Increase, compared
with the name week last year, amount
ed to. 107,803 tons. Production for the
Hrst twenty-five days of May. (partly
estimated) aggregated 865,965 tons, di
vided as follows: First four days, 157,
968tons; week ended May 11, 234,634
tons': May 18, 229,700 tons; May 25, 243,
863 tins, past week's tonnage was the
heaviest so far this month, and the In
dication Is that the total for the month
will be about 1,100,000 tons. As the
agreed output for May for all the com
panies was about 3,700,000 tons, the
Reading Is producing considerably
more than 21 per cent, of the total; In
deed. If the company's May output Is
1,100,000 tons, and the agreed output of
all the companies does not exceed
3,700,000 tons, the Reading will have
produced nearly one-third of the total,
For the fiscal yenr to date the Read
ing's anthracite coal tonnage amounts
to 6,024,641 tons, an Increase over the
same period last year of 786,351 tons.
Philadelphia Stockholder: President
Harris' statement, "that in tho present
disastrous Btate of the conl trade the
earnings from an Increased share of the
business more than offset , the losses
from the fall In tho selling price of
coal," Is not wholly borne out by care
ful study of some data on the subject.
It Is true that the profit lost month of
both companies was $.T7,GS6 greater than
In the name month last year, but It Is
also true that the Increase came wholly
from the Railroad company, the
month's profit showing nn increase of
$157,926. There was no profit from the
operations of the Coal and Iron com
pany: Instead, there was a loss of ui
080, which was $120,211 greater than in
April, 1894. Tho gain in profit of the
two companies was not clue, we believe
to Increased coal shipments, ibut to In
creased business In general merchan
dise and passenger travel.

Montrose papers are indignant because
we gave Dohn Smith Miller's residence
Montrose. John was the printer who so
bered up In Hotel Murphy after Wash
burn's circus. He gave Montrose as his
residence and it so entered on 'Squire
Smith's docket. He probably thought
Montrose Is so near Nowhere that it
would not be discovered that that town
was not his residence.

Describe Ills Suffcrlngs-A Terrible
Strlcturo Cured by Dr. V. B. Smith, the
Only Magnetic Physician Located in
Scrunton-312 Wyoming 'Avenue
Mr. Chnrles Dana, who resides at Arch
bald, has given us permission to publish
the following account of his sufferings
and may be referred to In person or by let
ter: Seven years ago Mr. Dana suffered from
an attack of typhoid fever which was fol
lowed by a serious affectlorvof the bladder,
which terminated In a strlcturo. It Is Im
possible to describe his sufferings. Soon
ufter his recovery from the fever he began
to experience great difficulty In passing
water. Tho dllllculty increased until one
day ho found It utterly Impossible to void
a drop of water. Ills family physician
was called and tried to draw his urlno
with an Instrument, but utterly failed,
and Mr. Dana suddenly found himself In
a. very critical condition, with death star
ing him In the face. A consultation of
physicians wns called who doclded that
the only means of relief was to draw the
urine by means of nn aspirator. The
needle was Inserted in tho bladder through
tho walls of the abdomen nnd proved suc
cessful. After tho Immediate danger was
over an effort was made to push a steel
sound Into the bladder, but proved a total
failure. and for more than Blx years Mr.
Dana remained a helpless Invalid, grad
ually growing worse until ho became bed
ridden. Tho aspirator at this tlmo refused
to relieve him and he wns on the verge of
tho grave. When he sent for Dr. F. II.
Smith ami stuff he had little If any hotjo
of ever finding permanent relief In this
world. Dr. Smith, ufter a careful examin
ation, told him that he felt confident that
his magnetic treatment combined with
medical, and If necessary surgical treat
ment, would give him permanent relief.
With this understanding the treatment was
then and there .commenced. The patient
wns phu-ed In a hot bath which had no
effect whatever. The doctor then placed
his right hand over tho lower part of the
abdomen, tho left hand in the small of his
back and Immediately the urln began to
flow. This treatment was continued once
in eight hours for four days, when the
doctor succeeded In passing n sound Into
the bladder. Eighteen cells from a mag
netic battery was then used with the most
gratifying results. Mr. Dana was speedily
cured and Is today a well man. Dr. Smith
ami staff never fall to cure tho worst
forms of strictures and without pain or
detention from business. They treat nil
forms of chronic diseases and may be con
