SEVERAL BIC SCHEMES
Arc
Ikint Worked fur Making
I'sc of the Culm bunks.'
SOME QUIET INVESTIGATING
Agents of Three Syndicates Have llccn
Diticcntly b;it Secretly W orking in
This Kcsion-Plans May In
volve .Many Millions.
There are whisperings in Sera n ton of
one or more proposed deals of threat
magnitude, which. If curried to any
length, indicates a speculation of sut
licient extent to rival any of the gigant
ic soeculatlve conns of recent years In
this country. A suspicion that Ameri
can and Knglish capitalists ure inde
pendently of each other laying their
plans to buy many of the culm piles in
this viclnl'.v and to contract for the
culm output for a long term of years.
Is the scheme in view. The investiga
tions by indents of these parties! are
known to have been going on for some
time but with such successful secrecy
that the details of their plans are
known only to the agents and the men
they represent.
The Tribune's Information comes
from tho best possible authority but
from a. source which for obvious rea
sons cunnot be divulged. It may be
relied upon us worthy of notice.
There are three sets of capitalists or
syndicates whose atfents have for sev
eral months been at work In and about
this city. One syndicate Is represent
ed by Nelson V. Perry, the Philadel
phia engineering writer who rect-ntly
wrote for Cassler's Magazine several
articles relative to culm In this renlon
and the possibilities of Us use. His
employers are supposed to be New York
and Philudeplhia men. Another syndl
cute Is composed of Knglishmen wlio are
represented by Mr. Cassler, the publish
er of the magazine of that name but
who has been getting his Information
through an employe whose visits here
have . ostensibly been for the purpose
of securing advertisements and sub
scriptions. The third Interest Is tho most mys
terious of nil. Its chietly Interested
parties are not known, but the two men
who are their agents have been here
more frequently than the others re
ferred to und have been more exact and
diligent in procuring the data which
it Is presumed Is contained in their re
ports to the men who employ thorn.
1XTKRKSTS OF SYNDICATES.
To avoid confusion It would he well
to consider the three syndicates In the
order in which they appear mentioned
III the foregoing paragruph:
Mr. Perry Is known to represent a
body of capitalists which has in view
the manufacture of "producer" iras, a
gas which is not affected by age und
which is eitiully adaptable to Illumin
ating and heutltig purposes. It is mude
from coul und water. Until recently
the smallest size of cool for practical
use In its munufacture has been
"buckwheat," but it is claimed tlint u
process is more perfected whereby culm
can !' utilized. It Is this point which
Is tiii!ioi'tntit in the Perry syndicate's
investlKutions. It Is believed that nils
syndicate proposes piping the gas pm
duct in New York and Philadelphia
Mr. Perry has mude at least eight ttr ten
visits to Scrauton since he tlrst came
for the purnoso of producing material
for his articles in Cassler's .Mnguzini',
with which publication, by the way. lie
has no permanent connection.
The real Cassler agent Is be who has
been here several times recently in the
guise of a solicitor. He has Klven
special attention to securing estimates
of the amount of culm now lyins: out
side the mines und estimutes of future
outputs. His employer, Mr. Cassler
goes to Knglund in three weeks. In
that country the main Cassler publica
tion Is issued, and there nppeured some
time n ko the same culm articles by Mr.
Perry that were published In the mag
azine in this country. The Knglisli Idea
Is to use the culm In the manufacture
of compressed fuel. Tills article is now.
being made and used In Kttglam In
several varieties of tiiHoes and sizes
and u Kiveii quantity of It. It Is claimed,
answers the iiirposc of three or four
times the same bulk of ordinary coal.
IM'RPOSKJjF THK MUX.
Hut little Is known of the purpose or
the identity of the men referred to as
the third syndicate, beyond the fact
that their agents have worked with
more exactitude, energy and secrecy
than the others. These two men are
Frenchmen whose conversation and
fund of information would indicate
tin-in to l' mechanical engineers- of a
very high order.
(mi- fact has been true of all the
Investigations the ugents have kept
(dear of the coal operator and own
ers. They have visited the mines and
by p!a iisible explanations have ohtii ined
from the superintendents and foremen
most of the information they now pos
sess. Sufficient Is not known of the whole
matter to even guess what would be
the course adopted by uny one of the
Interests in case a decision wus nllii nm
tivtiy made on the object it had In view,
but it Is believed among the few who are
familiar with the facts presented In
this uiticle that a wholesale buying
of the culm in sight and to be produced
would be among the probabilities.

IS IT A TRIFLE?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE. ACID
DYSPEPSIA OR SOUR
STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Serlou
Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is" a form
of indigestion resulting from fermen
tation of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest It, the food
remains until fermentation begins, .till
ing the stomach with gas, and a bitter,
sour, burning taste In the mouth Is of
ten present. .This condition soon be
comes chronic and being an every day
occurrence Is given but little attention.
Because dyspepsia Is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
It Is now well known among able
physicians thut the whole constitution
Is gradually undermined and weakened,
thut the nerves und vital organs are
seriously affected by any form of dys
pepsia. This Is plain, as every organ,
every nerve in the body is nourished by
the blood and the blood Is replenished
from the fond digested. If the food Is
proiieiiy digested the blood is pure, the
nerves steady, but If supplied from h
sour, fermenting, decaying mass, the
blood Is vitiated, poisoned and the re
sult Is shown In sleeplessness, luck of
energy, poor appetite, nervousness.
Kvery trllle is niugnllied and the dys
peptic sees nothing but the durk side
of everything.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomuch troubles. It Is
known as Stuart's Dyspeosla Tablets
and It Is now becoming rapidly used and
presclrbed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
It Is not claimed to cure anything
except dyspepsia and stomuch weak
ness In its various forms, but for this
it has been shown to be unequalled. The
eminent specialists, Reed and O'Leary.
have recently stated that they consid
er Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets an un
failing specHlc for disorders of the di
gestive organs, and the remarkable
cures made In cases of long standing
dyspepsia proves that this remedy has
extraordinary merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at 60 cents
per puckuge. It Is prepared by the
Stuart Chemical Co., Marshall, Mich.,
and while It promptly and effectually
restores a vigorous digestion, ut the
sume time Is perfectly harmless and
will not Injure the most delicate stom
ach, but on the contrary by giving
perfect digestion strengthens the stom
ach. Improves the appetite and makes
life .worth living.
