Cnulloii from tho Association.
In previous articles on this subject
It has been insisted that the owners of
securities In tho anthracite mining1 and
carrying rullroads were as vitally af
fected by the price at which coal was
sold as were the Individual operators,
and that a largo tonnage and low
price meant a heavy loss to them, while
n. smaller output, enough to meet uio
actual demand, and cold for a fair
price, would yield a profit. The proof
of this was in the earnings during 1692
and 1893, and In tho heavy losses ln-cun-ed
in 1894, 1895 and 1898.
Since the beginning of the current
year there has been a strong and hon
est effort to recover part of the ground
that had been lost. The output was
kept within the market requirements,
excepting a slight excess in August,
nnd as a consequence It was possible
to maintain a. better price. The' result
for the eight months Just closed fully
confirms nil that has been chtlmed, and
if the same policy prevnllsJfor the re
mainder of the year thereis every rea
son for believing that the losses here
tofore shown by the,-bperattng com
panies will be greatly reduced, and in
some cases a material profit be shown.
EIGHT MONTHS' SHIPMENT3.
For a period of six years the ship
ments of anthracite for the eight
months from Jon. 1 to Sept. 1, have

This shows for the first eight months
of 1S97, nn Improvement of 36 cents pet
ton In tho prepared sizes; a loss of 2
cents per ton In steam sizes, nnd an
averagp gain of 31 cents per Uii on all
blues. It Is not possible to rtate ac
curately what improvement there has
been in the price of coal sold along the
line and In the west, but from the In
formation at command It seems fair to
estimate It at as much, or more, than
the difference at tidewater.
VALUE OF 1S97 SHIPMENTS.
If, now, these averages are applied
to the tonnage for the period named.
the total value of 23,800,000 tons shipped
in 1S97, calculated on the tidewater
basis, was $71,400,000 as compared with
$71,550,759 for 26.59S.79C tons in 1S9G, so
the output this year, though 2,798,796
tons less than In 1S96, had a value of
within $150,000 as much as In that year.
In other words, comparing tho result
of the two years, the coal marketed
this year has yielded $7,378,000 more
than the same quantity In 1S9C. and
further, nearly 2,800.000 tons, which, at
the average for 1897 is worth nearly
$S,400,000, has been saved for future
operations, a total direct and indirect
gain of $15,778,000.
Of course, the railroads, which charge
full tariff on all coal, have necessarily
met a reduction In their earnings fiom
this traffic which has not been fully
compensated for in the less cost of
hauling the smaller tonnage. It must
be icmembered also that since fixed
charges and certain of the operating
costs remain practically the samo
whether the output Is large or small,
the relative expense of producing the
tonnage of 1897 has been greater than
in the previous year, though the dif
ference is much less than the Increase
in value.
While the results shown above are
unquestionably excellent when com
pared with those of foimer years, there
is still a wide margin for further Im
provement. Through a needless excess
of tonnage In July nnd August, tho
companies havo materially retarded
tho progress they were making, and
that, too, at a most critical time. They
have succeeded In tilling all of the de
mands In sight with coal sold under
the June circular nnd, as a consequence,
unless tho stocks In retail yards are
taken for consumption far moro rapid
ly than there Is any hope fpr, there
will bu little demand in early Septem
ber at tho July or any other circular,
AN EUROU WAS MADE.
An error was mado in not keeping
within 7,000,000 tons, tho first estimate,
which would have been sufllclcnt for
all purposes, and should tho output for
this month of September bo too great,
the result wjll be a forfeit of every
advantage thus far gained. A conser
vative and cautious policy at this tlmo
means dividends to tho companies, and
any other a depreciation of their se
curities. WILL BE GIVEN A HEARING.

witnesses but us the patrolman had not

Detective Molr Mad a Spirited Chase
Alter William FinkCaught on
Roaring Brook Bridge.
William H. Fink, a prisoner, escaped
from Detective John Molr yesterday
morning when within the shadow of
tho city hall building, where he was
being taken to be locked up. The run
ttWHy was captured after a long and
hard chase.
Fink Is probably an lmposter of tho
professional ilk. His local escapades
began April 23, when he was arraigned
before Alderman Howe an a charge of
desertion and non-support, preferred by
his w Ife, whom he married In this city.
It seems ho met tho gill here and af
ter their marriage the couple went
on a wedding tour through tho east
ern part of the state. He deserted her
at Easton. For this offense Fink spent
three months in the county Jail. Since
his discharge he has played a whole
sale swindling game on the Odd Fel
lows' fraternity in this city.
By some means Fink secured a
membership card and also an official
receipt from the order. The card was
made out to Thomas S. Moore and this
name Fink used. His method was to
visit tho several Odd Fellow lodges
and have collections taken for his ben
efit. He also, it is said, made per
sonal nppeals to members of the order.
C. F. Van Nort yesterday caused a
warrant to be sworn out before Alder
man Howe, charging Fink with de
frauding and also misrepresenting
himself. Detective Molr served tho pa
per nnd Fink was taken before the
alderman. In the alderman's ofllco
Fink threatened to cut his throat if he
were committed to Jail. He quickly
subsided Into a stolid indifference and
was placed under $500 ball, and in de
fault was committed to Jail to await
trial.
BREAK FOR FREEDOM.
When Detective Molr with the pris
oner was within twenty yards of the
city hall they met Lieutenant of Police
Davis, with whom Molr conversed a
moment, regarding a matter of police
business. Molr released his hold on
Fink for an instant and when he did
so the man made a dive for the door
of a milk depot on that side of the
street.
Through the depot and out into the
alley by a rear window he went, Do
tectlvo Molr following by way of the
alley, running in the same direction.
Fink went through a blacksmith shop
and another store, and out upon Ad
ami avenue, thence to Linden street
and in nn easterly direction.
At Linden street Detective Molr, who
was not upon the pace sprang Into a
laundry wngon and ordered the driver
to follow the runaway. The horse was
urged to a gallop. A half dozen other
w.feons Joined in the pursuit. Molt
drove himself, and when the hill lead
ing to the new South Side brlge was
reached he whb rewarded by seeing
Fink slacken speed as If he thought ho
had outrun his followers. The laun
dry wngon drew near to Fink and
Moir sprang out.
After a hard tusslo in which Fink
was severely pummelled, he was
forced Into submission and was taken
to the police station. He was later on
taken to the county Jail.
HOWELL IS TAKEN TO JAIL.
Charged with Forgery by the North
Und Lumber Company.
Hugh A. Howell, well known
throughout tho city, a resident of the
West Side, where he was up to a
short time ago a building contractor,
and a prominent lodgeman, Is now In
the county Jail, having been committed
yesterday by Alderman Millar in de
fault of $500 ball on a charge of forg
ery. P. M. La Bar, secretary of the
North End Lumber company, was the
prosecutor.
Mr. Howell, It appears, has been act
ing as collector for the company. The
books showed a shortage- of about Jl
000, and an Investigation resulted. It
is alleged that Howells mado big col
lections and forged the names of other
collectors. An instanco of fraud which
directly caused tho arrest was when
Howell collected $365, the full nmount
of a bill. Ho credited the firm with
$200, and made no return of tho other
$105.
'Secretary La Bar, in duo time, asked
for a settlement on the balance of the
bill. The Arm produced its receipt in
full. Howell was then arrested and
Alderman Millar fixed tho ball at $500.
Howell could not secure a bondsman
and wept bitterly as ho was being tak
en to Jail,

J. H. Persch. tho man whose name
has been most conspicuously used In
connection with the glgantlo brewery
syndicate deal, arrived in the city yes
terday morning. When a Tribune re
porter saw him nt tho Hotel Jcrmyn
Inst evening Mr. Persch was In a sig
nificantly happy mood. Ho was about
to step Into tho large and elegantly
furnished elevator nt the hotel.
The reporter ventured to ask: "You
nre here, Mr. Persch, In tho Interests
of the proposed brewery syndicate?"
Mr. Persch hesitated nnd smiling said:
"Yes, I guess so." Then speaking
rapidly, he continued: "Now, I don't
want you fellows to talk so much
about this mntter. You sec when the
time comes you'll get it Just ns soon
as the next."
"And tho time?"
"In a few days; we'll give it to you
all when we're ready. No we're not
quite ready yet. You see," he continued
briskly, "wo don't want the public to
know about It until" Mr. Persch
again emphasized his reiterations that
he was not quite ready to tell all about
lila dealings with the Scranton brew
eries. PRICE OF $S,000,000.
The reporter was about to refer to
Tho Tribune of Tuesday that the ag
gregate price asked by the local brew
ing firms for their properties $8,000,
000 was beyond tho reach of Mr.
Persch's purse. By "Mr. Persch" is
meant the syndicate which he repre
sents. "We printed a "
"Yrfi" interrupted tho gentleman,
"your paper printed something about
the price of tho breweries being too
high. I heard of it. A 'rlend sent me
word of the article and" Mr. Persch
showed by his manner that the Trib
une's in titles weie Just what brought
him on here sc soon.
"I'm very busy," he said; "going
about over the county In the interest
of this scheme. Scranton is the onlv
one of mnny, you know. But In re
gard to that report in your paper it
was not right. 1 know where you got
the information from. It was not
right. In a fow days well, you Just
wait, that's all," and the ever-smiling
gentleman smiled ngaln and disappear
ed In tho elevator.
All of which infers that Mr. Persch
wants It understood that ho met with
tome tuccess in yesterday's negotia
tions with tho local brewers; that the
big scheme is not by any means a
corpse.
DEATH FOR RELIEF.
Mrs. Ella Marsh Drank Carbolic Acid
and DiedSmoked Cigarettes Ex
cessively and Was Despondent.
Despondency, melancholy and cigar
ette smoking apparently led to the
suicide of Mrs. Ella Marsh at the home
of her mother, Mrs. Matilda Waller, of
324 Linden street, yesterday.
Mrs. Marsh had been living apart
from her husband for over a year. She
worried over this and on Wednesday
afternoon drank about a tablespoonful
of carbolic acid from a bottle. Death
ended her sufferings shortly after 9
o'clock yesterday morning.
The rash act was probably premedi
tated, as several women were In tho
house at the time and the bottle was
properly labelled, some of its contents
having been used for medical purposes
previously. Dr. Pennypacker was sum
moned immediately and after consider
able effort succeeded In bringing Mrs.
Marsh to consciousness, but the vital
organs had been attacked too severely
and death could only bo stayed for a
time.
Mrs. Marsh had shortly before suf
fered from nicotine poisoning from the
excessive use of cigarettes and was
consequently prone to the effects of tho
deadly poison.
