"If transporting anthracite- were not nn exceedingly profitable undertaking, why do the railroads In the anthracite regions burn bituminous coal on their engines?" says the Individual Opera tors' Journal. "This latter fuel costs them delivered at the nearest point on their lines from $1.15 to $1.50 per ton, to which should be added the cost of hauling to their distributing points. Buckwheat coal, which would do the same work, costs about 60 cents at breakers on their lines. But they get $1.20 freight to haul this to market, where It 13 sold for T1.S0. In other words, soft coal nt $150 would be 30 cents less than the fuel they them selves mine, not taking Into considera tion the cost of transporting the an thracite to tide. How much of this thirty cents represents the cost of transportation? If It is not thirty cents or less, then the operating departments of these roads are carrying on nn ex pensive business. This, however, Is not probable, as such details aro calculated with great care. And when a com peting fuel is used by its competitor to haul Its product to a mnrket where each must fight for existence, does it not look as though one was fust losing ground?" The death of Judge Ikeler, of tho Columbia-Montour Judicial district, leaves two vacancies in tho state Judic iary to be filled by Governor Hastings. The other is in Allegheny county, where Judge W. D. Porter has re signed to take the place of tho late Judge Wlckham on the Superior court bench. When these vacancies have been filled Hastings will have ap pointed seventeen Common pleas Judges and nine Superior court Judges. Of tha former all but three are still on the bench, w hlle two of the Superior court Judges have retired. He has ap pointed more Judges than any of his predecesbors, nnd yet he has never had the good fortune to name a Supieme court Judge. There will be several changes In the pctsonncl of the Supreme court during the next administration. The term of Chief Justice Sterrett expires in 1000 and he will not be a candidate for re election. Judge Green Is next to the oldest in commission, and he will he come chief Justice. This will leave a vacancy. Judges 'Williams, McCollum and Dean will probably retire before the expiration of their teims. Michael Millar, the Cedar avenue undertaker, has received a very Inter esting letter from his daughter, Mrs. 8. S. Spruks, who, with her husband, is traveling in Germany. They aro now In the town of Aachen. Tho feeling there against this country Is so in tense that it is not politic for one to speak favorably of tho United States. Mrs. Spruks sent a newspaper clip ping, a column In length, which stated In detail how the Spanish boats entered the New York harbor and blew up the Brooklyn bridge. The letter states that It la next to impossible to convince the aeonle of hut section that the reports BS9l9fti In the newspapers nrc without the least foundation. Dr. 1 I'.

GROSS EARNINGS OF B. & O. Show a Big Inciease Over the Year 1807. The fact that the gross earnings of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from the operations of the joads for the fis cal year ending Juno 30th, 1S9S, reached tho splendid sum of J27.642.432, an in crease of $2,060,310 over the similar period of 1S97, has created consider able favorable comment In financial elides. Tho receivers, after they were ap pointed and had examined the situa tion carefully, were confident that If their policy was carried out, the earn ings of the railroad would be very greatly augmented, and, ns is well known, they began a series of Improve ments that, while not yet completed, have piogressed sufficiently to demon strate beyond question that the Bnltl mote and Ohio railroad has an earning capacity that will place It In the ranks of the profitable railroads In the coun try In a few years. The two million dollars Increase In gross was made only with nn increase of $281,391 In ex penses, giving a net lncreabe of $1,77S, 919, the approximate net earnings from the roads alone for tho year being $7, 348,947, over $800,000 In excess of what the fixed charges will bo under the plan of reorganization. In addition to these earnings there Is a miscellaneous net Income from various sources of about $900,000. It must be remembered that during last July and August there were coal strikes In Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Vlrginln, which in two months cost the Baltimore and Ohio more than half a million dollars and thnt never In the history of the country have rates been so low.

Edward Ruddy, of Church Avenue, Made a Mistake That Cost Hlin His juife Saturday Night. Edward Buddy, of 1432 Church ave nue, took nn overdose of laudanum nt 9 30 Saturday night by mistake and died In an hour nnd a half from tho effects of the drug and a hemorrhage. He had been in ill health for over a year, and was tubject to hemorrhages. Two weeks ago Friday he came home from work sick and was unable to work since. He found great difficulty In sleeping and was In the habit of us ing laudanum as nn opiate. He board ed with his sister, wife of W. J. Jones, and on Satuiday night told her he was going to take enough to make him sleep 15 houis. At 9 30 she- heard him in the sitting room handling a glass, and asked him what he was doing. He said ho was drinking the laudanum and told her he believed he had taken loo much. Ho had a two-ounce bottle that veiy little had been used from, and took nil that was left. She went for Dr. Rodham and while she was gone Ruddy forced himself to vomit nnd got rid of a largo share of the drug The doctor responded quickly and put the stomach pump to work The man was progressing fav orably nn hour nfter he took the dose, but a hemonhago nttneked him nnd weakened him fco that he died at 11 o'clock. Within two jears he suffcied from a half dozen such attacks. Buddy was 30 years old. He was born In Dunmore. He was employed at the Mt. Pleasant mine In charge of an electric drill, nnd he belonged tn the Accidental Tund. Ho was also a mem ber of DIv Islon 3, Ancient Order of Hibernians, of the centinl cltv. Dr. John T. McGiath, acting ns dep uty coroner, went to the house an1 viewed the bodv, but decided that nn Inquest was unnecessary. While tho case has the appeal mice of suicide, the evidence tends to show nothing more than that the man blundered in the size of the dose, nnd In that way con tributed to his own death.
