Theio Is an a'jundanco of woik now
at both mills of the Lackawanna lion
nnd Steel nmpnuj and the Indications
aie thai this condition ol allalis will
continue loi some time, although the
olllcials of the company ltfuse to coi
lobointe this a lew of the situation.
They aie also leticent at to the number
unil extent of the ouluts the company
has booked blneo the disl option ot the
steel pool.
It is the iiPiu-rnl uplnlon In the steel
tiade that the Laikawaiuuv company
has not been left In th" great skii
nil'li foi oi dels which followed Imme
diately aftei the bieaklnn ol the pool.
In this city the statement sent out lioni
Johnstown to the eflect that the ram
lul.i lion eonipiiny has enougli tudeis
to keep its mills doing constantlj lor
nine months nnd that It does not want
any mote at the existing pileos Is le
gal ded as a Ijltift Theie Is no doubt
that the company bus pocketed a gie.it
many oideis eluilne; the last week but
not neni the iiumbci the nboe state-1
ment would Indicate.
The taking ot an older of the Boston
and Slnino uillioad by one of the West
em Pennsylvania companies w-s the
eliiect cause of the bieaklnp: . me pool.
For je.us the Hoston and Maine lall
mad has put chased all ot its tails fiom
the Lackawanna company and was
consideied one of its most substantial
and tellable customeis. Notwithstand
ing the establishment ot a llxed pi Ice
by the pool one of the steel company
In the western patt of the state gave a'
into to the Boston and Slaino company
much lower than that specilled by the
pool and for which tho Lackawanna
company held out. The otdei went to
tho western mill and theieupon oc
cuned the wltlidiawal of the Lacka
wanna company fiom the pool. It le
fused to longer associate with men who
letused to lle up to the ngi cement en
tered Into by tile tail makeis.
In the war that Is now on the Lack
awauna'.s most foinildnble compet
itor Is the Carnegie Plltsbuig plant.
That can manufactuie steel mils
cheaper tjian any mill In the countiy
and possibly than any In tho woild.
Next to the Cninegle mills those ot' the
Lackawanna company are, In the steel
tiade, Lonsideied the cheapest in.ll fln
isheis. It theiefoio seems but iiattlt.il Hint
the local company should bo able to get
tho lion's sliiito of the eastern business
that Is uolng. It has also mnde n bold
bid lor western business dining last
week and with a good deal of success,
thus blinding home to the Aestein
mills in a foicible way the enor they
mailo In tampoilnp; with the Lacka
wanna's eastein tiado.
Few steel companies aie so advan
tageously situated as the Lackawanna.
It has line shipping facilities, its own
coal mines in this city and oie mines
at Lebanon and In New Yoik state. It
Is placed at the disadvantage, how
ever, of not bavins a sulllclent num
ber of fuinnces to make all of Its own
pis lion and has to go Into the market
to buy quantities of that aitlcle, so Im
pottant In the inanufactuilng of steel
tails It Is also compelled to buy con
tain srindes of lion cue to mix with its
own bemuse of the huge quantity of
sulphur contained In tlio oie obtained
fiom the mines nt Lebanon.
The Pittsbuig papeis aie assuied iy
the Caincgle people that the mills of
that 111 m hae obtained mine than half
tho oideis placed since the slum.) in

stoij Is legal ded as similar to t'i
one sent out fiom Johnstown. Th'-re
seems no doubt, howevei, that the Cai
negles me determined to stick to .he
in'ce of $17 a ton for mils until they

Judge Stanton alleges embiaceiy vas

Jlaekus' with aunt' of the juiymen and
that one of the juiymen was heard to

to Scianton to tin Juiy duty for a lit

against Sowka. Judge Stanton later
heaid of what had tiansplied In

plication for a new tiial. '
The pilnclpal aigument for the plain
tiff jesteiday was made by Sll. Vos
buiij, Jiidre Stanton's associate, in the
case. lie jneseuted the substance of
tho depositions taken befoie Aldei
nian Wi ight, commissioner, appointed
to take testimony, by which It' was
shown that Snyter admitted that he
bought dilnks for a ciowd of men on
that OLcaslon and that one of the Jui

Sir. Hoban In his nigumont against
the new tiial laid put tlculiu stiess upon
the meiits of the case, making light
of the bai-ioom episode. Sow ka and
Snyter bought a lot on the South Side
fiom P. AV. Stokes. It was HO feet
deep with a ten-foot leseivntion.
Sowka took the tear poitlon and fenced
off 70 feet. Later he was given to un.
del stand by some outside paities that
he was entitled to 7"i feet as the lot v as
1.10 feet lontr, the ten-foot lesoivatior
included To tecovcr this additional
live feet the bi ought the suit Sir
Hoban pointed out that Sowka might
just as well flguie In half the width of
the toad In computing the length ot
the lot as to Include the ten-foot lesei

The l-yeai-old son of the plaintiff was
killed bv a Tiuetlou comtia'iy car on

allowed bv his mother to go to the
house of a lu'lghboi, SIis. Bowman,
who lived In the ieai of the lot, to play
with the Iiowmnn boy of about his own
age. The Lawrence boy, after going
into the How man house, stole out Into
the stieet and was uin ovei by a etr.
coNTitumTonv nhgligrnci;.
At the tiial of the case the company
held that the mother was guilty of
contilbutorj negligence In allowing the
child to be on the -tieet without n
piolectoi. Tho plaintiff biotight evi
dence to show that there was an u
laimenyjnt between Sls. Law l mice
and SIis. How man that when the L.tw
lcnce boy went to her home she would
look after the childien at play, and
tMt when the Itowmnn boy came o
the Law l once house, SIis. Lawienee
would keep an eve ovei them. This, It
was contended, lemoved the chnige of
negligence In iinswei to this the com
pany held that SIis. Howmnn wns In

for a new tiial the allegation that
Slajor AVauen made allusion, in an in
dlioct, yet effective way, to the dueling
of the colonel's July in the case, which
is a foimei" adjudication. He alo
claimed to have new, mateiial and
non-cumulative evidence In the shei-o
of a statement fiom ex-Stieet Cni Con
ductor James OT.oyle that ho examined
the car just after the ii.-oldent, and
