As n matter of fact no Increase has been ordered, but such a step la now In prospect. The proposed rulsa will not be us huge as minor has It. The other rumor has It that all coal watchers along the road have been dis missed. Again is rumor apparently at fault. To begin with there are very few so-called coal watchers employed and these few ure thus employed to give them work the year round. for instance, at the Hnllstiail yard, dur ing the season of heavy snow or hard winter several men an- detailed to watch the yard to prevent coal being carried away from the cars. At this time when much coal has to stand In the yards, this work Is im portant. However, when the open weather comes these men return to whatever Job they wore at before belli"? given this special detail. Yesterday's Marriage Licenses.

The Central Railroad of New Jerey and Lehish Valley railroads have sold to a Canadian railway all their 6-ton "Jimmy" cars A proof of this Is that shops on both roads have been instruct ed not to repair any more of them. Hereafter, as soon as possible, both roads Will use only gondolas with pat ent couplers and nlr brake attach ments. Both roads have thousands of these small cars In use now und by dis posing of them all at once thev will have much trouble to supply the de mand at mine collieries for cars. Thifc move on the companies' part Is compulsory, because of a national law which provides that all railroads after 1900 must use cars, whether freight, coal or any kind, with patent couplers. To put these couplers In "Jimmies" would be too expensive, and the cheap est method was by disposing of them. P. F. Godfrey, of Peckville, Says They Robbed Him.
