Presiding Elders of tho Othor ills trlcts of tho Wyoming Conference Met Yesterday with tho Bishop In Blnghamton They Hefused to Glvo Out Any Information Regard ing What Was Done Bishop Fow ler, However, Says Ho Will Make an Announcement Within a Few Days. Bishop Fowler, of tho Methodist Episcopal chinch, who recently re turned from Europe, was In Blngham toti, N. Y., yesterday and had a con ference with tho presiding elders of tho Wyoming conference with refer ence to lltllng tho vacancy that exists In the presiding eldership of this, tho Wyoming district, in consequence of the death of Rev. J. a. Kcknian, D. D., late of this city. Present at the conference were tho following presiding elders: Rev. L. C. Floyd, D. D of Blnghamton district; Rev. C. II. Hayes, of tho Norwich dis trict; Rev. W. L. Thorpe, of the Hones dale district; Rev. Austin Grlfttn, of the Oneonta district, and Rev. George Forsythe, of the Oswego district. Tho meeting wns held at the par sonage of tho Centenary Methodist Episcopal church and lasted for sev eral hours. At its conclusion those who attended it refused to give any in formation as to what was done. It may bo inferred, however, that a de cision was arrived at, for Bishop Fow ler said before ho left for Buffalo last evening that he would mako nn an nouncement with reference to tho eld ership within a few days. At the meeting of the presiding elders held in Blnghamton two weeks ago a name was decided upon and sent to Bishop Mallllleu, of Boston, to whom the matter of filling the vacancy was referred in the absence of Bishop Fow ler. After the latter's return he was re quested to make the appointment, and in consequence yesterday's conference at Blnghamton was called. It Is un derstood that Rev. Dr. Olmstead, of Blnghamton, was the clergyman de cided upon at the previous meeting of the presiding elders. THE DREAM BEING REALIZED. The Delaware Valley Railroad Forty Years Ago and Now. ''Forty-four years ago the building ot a railroad from Mllford to Mntamoras was agitated and everything looked favorable for Its being constructed at an early date," fays the Stroudsburg Times. "This was in 1S34. In that year a railroad bridge was construct ed by the Erie railroad across the Del aware river, connecting Port Jervls and Matamoras, and the running of steam cars to Mllford was deemed a. certainty. The iron rails, however were never laid across the bridge, but a roadway was made for vehicles and foot passengers and was serviceable as such until many years later when the structure was blown down In a heavy gale one nlpht, dry rot having weak ened the timbers which led to Its de struction. "The new railroad bridge, which has Just been erected on the foundations of the old structure, has the distinction of having pass over it the Ilrst locomo tive and cars which ever ciossed the Delaware river at this point. As things now appear it will not bo long before the Iron steed will soon be running down the valley to Mllford. and the dream of the people of Pike county of forty years ago will be a pleasing real ity."

A Better Way Now Discovered Which Cures Every Form of Files Without Fain or Incon venience. Many people suffer tho pain, annoy anco and other sorlous results from plies, for years, and after trying the many lotions, salves, ointments and many so-called cures without cure or relief, give up the hope of a llnul cure, rather than submit to tho Intense pain and danger to life which a surgical op eration Involves. Happily all tills suffering Is no longer necessary since tho discovery of tho Pyramid Pile Cure; a remedy which Is approved by the medical proferslon, as being absolutely safe, freo from any trace of opiates, narcotic or mineral poisons and which may bo depended upon as a Miro cure (not merely re lief) In any form ot piles, whether itch ing, blind, bleeding or protruding. Some of the hundreds ot cures recently made are little short of marvelous, as a perusal of the following will demon strate. Major Dean, ot Columbus, Ohio, says; I wish to add to the number of certifi cates as to the benefit derived from tho Pyramid Pile Cure. I suffered from piles for forty years and from Itching piles for twenty years and two boxes ot the Pyramid Pile Cure has effect ually cured me. Dr. J. W. Meagan, Leonardvllle, Kan., writes: I have used a box of Pyramid Pile Cure and received more benefit and relief than from any other remedy I had used In the past twenty years. James Jamerson, Dubuque, Iowa, says: f suffered from piles for six years; have Just used the Pyramid Pile Cure and am a well man. Mrs. M. C. Hinkly, 601 Mississippi street, Indianapolis, Ind., says: Have been a sufferer from the pain and an noyance of plies for fifteen years, the Pyramid Pile Cure and "Pyramid Pills gave me Immediate relief and In a short time a complete cure. The Pyramid Pile Cure may be found at druggists at EO cents and $1.00 per package. A book on cause and cure of piles will be sent by mail, by address ing tho Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich. BOBBY DOBBS IN BROOKLYN. He Passed Through Scranton routo for Buffalo. En thls Bobby Dobbs passed through city at 3 o'clock yesterday morning via tho Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern railroad enroute from Buffalo to New York city. Ho was met on the depot platform by a party of local admirers and among them his man ager, Jack Skelly, who had been here since Monday noon completing ar rangements lor the Judge-Smith con test. Skelly boarded the train and ac companied Dobbs to New York. Dobbs boxes Billy Ernst twenty rounds toniqht before the Greenwood Athletic club, Brooklyn. He will come to Scranton Friday night or Saturday to assist Judgo in training for his bout with Smith on the 2fith. Dobbs will incidentally bo preparing himself for his meeting with Matty Matthews on the 21st before the Lenox Athletic club, New York city. Syracuse Tommy Ryan. Yesterday's Syracuse Standard says: "Jack Skelly, matchmaker of the American Sporting club, of Scranton, Pa., has matched Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse, to meet Johnny Gorman, tho middleweight of New York city, in a twenty-round bout at his club on Oct. 10. Ryan was aked by Skelly If he would meet Gorman. He replied he would, and as Gorman has also agreed to take a crack at the clever Syracuse lighter both signed the articles of agreement at once. They are to box at catch weights for 50 per cent, of the gross receipts. A great many per sons think that Ryan will beat Gorman easily. The latter has been Improving wonderfully since he has been training with Billy Smith and will likely give a good account of him self when he faces Ryan." Ryan and Jack Bonner are matched to box before the Greater New York Athletic club on Oct. 10 at 15S pounds, weigh In at 0 o'clock. MR. KEMMERER'S IDEAS. Writes Things About Mayors and Election Contests. John M. Kemmerer, n most active member of the board of trade, but who cannot attend next Monday night's meeting of the board, has written Sec retary Atherton a letter suggesting that tho board give Its attention to tha approaching mayoralty election and go on record In disapproval of the law permitting election contests. Mr. Keirmerer thinks Scranton should have a business man's mayor with backbone, that he should not 1m partisan, and that the board should take a hand in the nominations. He says he has been Informed that tho pvp.sent election contest will cost $."0. Ortfl or more and that thp boards of trade throughout the statu should trv and have the legislature repeal tho law making such contests possible and create a commission to settle election disputes. Mr. Kemmcrer's letter will be read at the board meeting. MRS. T. H. WATKINS VERY ILL. Dr. J. A. Wyetlic. of Now York, was In the city yesterday In consultation with Dr. Coolidgo In the cus-o of Mrs. T. H, Watklns, ot Monroe avenue, who has been critically ill since Sunday.

In Many Cases They Lease Lands from tho Largo Coal Carrying Companies and Are Virtually in the Power of Theso Concerns In dividual Operators Fool Relief in tho Prospective Expiration of Con tracts Which Have Bound Them to Hard Conditions. "Tho relation of the Individual oper ators to the anthracite transporting railroads and the mining companies owned by them, Is somewhat singular and has no prototype In any other large Industry," says the September letter of the Anthrucito Coal Opera tors association. "Few of the opera tors own the coal lands upon which they are mining. In many cases, they lease from the coal companies owned by the railroads, lands which thesu companies hold under earlier and low er priced leases. These contracts with the operators, like those with the orig inal land owner, have, as a basis, a fixed minimum royalty which must be paid each year. The railroads arc thus frequently the landlords, and can compel their tenants to pay this sum or else forfeit their leases and all tho Improvements in which tho operator's money has been Invested. "Then, under the present contracts, the railroad companies purchase from the operator the product ot his col liery, paying him a percentage of tho price received for it at tidewater, and retaining the balance to re-lmburso themselves for the cost of handling, selling and the transportation charge. Necessarily, tho price at tide and else where depends wholly upon these com panies, since they have practically the exclusive handling of the product. Also, tho quality which may be marketed de pends upon them, as, in conjunction with their parent companies, the trans porters, the Individual operator may not receive more cars than the railroad is willing to provide. "The individual operators, then, stand in a position where, if the rail roads should choose to sell the coal at so small a price at tide that the pro portion paid the operators Is not suffi cient to cover the cost of production, they can be forced to either keep their collieries in operation at a loss; to close them and pay their landlords, or to the railroads, ns lundlords, the amounts due under the leases, or to forfeit the captltal they have Invested In improvements to the mines and properties. PETTY WARFARE WAGED. "If the trade has been conducted in a capable and progressive manner, such conditions could easily have ex isted with fairness on both sides. But, on the contrary, through misunder standings among the transporters and an absence of dependence upon the announced Intentions of each to the other, there has been waged a petty warfare, with the result of concentrat ing the attentions of these Interests on small details, to the exclusion of h broad outlook concerning the Indus try at large. It has resulted In a de cline In the consumption of, nnd low er prices for the fuel, and a general feeling of distrust among the buyers. "It Is not surprising thut the Indi vidual operators feel relief in the pros pective expiration of contracts which have bound them to such conditions. They appreciate the advantage wlili h lies on the surface of these agree ments, but. without a more equitable division between the price they may receive, and the charges for freight; without any assurance of a tonnage sullliient to keep their collieries "prof itably busy, and without certainty that the price paid them could not go be low a fixed figure, a contract of this character throws upon them all of the disasters which may result from low prices, since the returns now are bare ly sufficient to re-lniburse the money actually expended In raising nnd pre paring the coal, without a balance for unavoidable accidents, while the rail roads, with a wide margin between tho cost of transporting and the money received for freight, lose, at the worst, only a small part of a lurge profit. "It must be clear to everyone famil iar with the anthracite industry that, unless It is conducted In some manner whereby the mnrketlng of the fuel will be done through a relatively small number of people, grave difficulties will urlse. The Individual operators whose tonnage will be free early next year will have between eight and nine mil lions ot tons to market on their own account. Heretofore, because of the contracts, they have not resisted when the railroad companies, owing to an In active demand, forced all collieries to remain idle for one hundred and fifty working days In the year. THEY WANTED HARMONY. "This was largely because of the op erators' dpslre to act in harmony with these Interests, even at a great loss to themselves, to avoid an overstocked market. But under the new condition, It Is to be supposed that they would make every effort to dispose of tho product of their collieries, and It Is it question to be determined whether It may not be Incumbent upon the rail road companies, as common carriers, to either furnish sufllclent cars to trans port the operators' product to market, or to haul, or permit to bo hauled, cars owned or leased for this purpose by tho operators. "It Is not possible to define Just what steps might be found necessary in such case, nor to point to the complete de moralization of the market and enor mous Iossps which would occur to tho less favorably situated concerns, or those with heavy Interest charges to meet. It must be apparent that noth ing should be permitted which lias In its very suggestion tho elements of u struggle which would Irreparably in jure every Interest nnd result, after many and heavy losses, in a condition which can as well be brought about now, without any of these losses, sim ply through the exercise of common sense and fairness, for Cough I regard Ayer's Cherry Pectoral as superior to any cold or cough medicine made.

No agreement nor understanding, nor, in fact, any stop which these companies may take to secure their Interest, will be safe unless the co-operation of this individual 30 per cent. Is secured, and, as has been shown In tho past, this will be given franklv and willingly, and will bo maintained so long as there Is equal frankness and good faith on tho other side." COUNCILMANIC COMMITTEES. Paving and Fire Department Matters Considered. At last night's meeting of the pave ments committee, of select council, It was decided to leconinielid that the city clerk re-advertise for proposals to lay an asphalt pavement on Qulncy avenue, between Pine and Gibson streets. This action was taken because the recent proposal of the Harbor com pany was in excess of the city engin eer's estimate. The committee decided to report fav- joitibly I he ordinance providing for pavements on lireck nnd Forests courts south of Spruce street. There was also a meeting last night of the Joint lire depat tmeiit commit tees. The proposed new rules and reg ulations for the lire department were considered but no action was tuken up on them. Amendments to them will be suggested when leport Is made to councils. It was exepeeted that representatives from the West Side board of trade would he present and urge the com mittee to recommend to councils the purchase of a steamer to replace the old apparatus of Franklin Kngine company. Councllinen Thomas, O'ltoyle and Oliver were the only members of the hoard of trade committee present. They thought It inopportune to pre sent the steamer matter in councils at this time but called the committee's attention to the lack of hose In the West Side district. It was shown, however, that this discrepancy would at least be partly overcome w Ith the appearance of the new chemical apparatus for Columbia company and the shifting of hose nnd other department appliances which will follow the acquisition of that ap paratus and the one for Heller com pany.
