Proposes to Manage tho D., L. & W. for Its Best Interest nnd What ever Changes Have Been Made Were Effected with That End in View He Is Not Opposed to Old Men or Old Employes J. & H. Company Is Getting Rid of Its Jimmies. President TrueBdnlP, of the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western, is luotrd as Haying in an interview: "There is ubsolutely no tiuth in tho reports that have been in circulation that a strike is pending on tho Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western. We iin- having no trouble of any kind, though there is pome grumbling nmong those employes whom wo had to let go. but this is to he expected. We are lino to manage the property for its best interest and whatever changes have been made were effected with that end in view. There have been changes on the road and there will he other changes, but the talk of strikes U the sheerest nonsense. I am not opposed to old men or old employes. I appreciate ns much as anybody faith ful service and ability and any differ ence that may arise between the man agement and employes will bo nmica bly adjusted. Our road will be run on n business basis. There is nothing In the report of consolidation or combina tion with Nickel Plate. Such a thing is not under consideration. We are nvt going to buy the Hudson River tunnel or any part of it, and wo are hlmply going to build up the road with its own resources." INDICATION OP CONFIDENCE In many quarters evidences accu mulate that the powerful interests In control of the anthracite situation re gard the reformation of the hard coal producing and' transporting industries as practically accpmpllshed. A signif icant "pointer" may be discerned in the announcement made that the Phil adelphia and Heading Coal and Iron company has addedi to Its already gigantic mining possessions the Keh ley Hun colliery at Shenandoah, for many years owned and operated by the Thomas Coal company. It will pass into the control of the Philadelphia and Heading Coal and Iron company on June 1. By obtain ing possession of this colliery the Heading company will be ablo to se cure large quantities of coal from Shenandoah City and Indian Ridge col lieries, which it was imnohslble to se cure befoie. Tills disposition to re new the Reading's old policy of ex pansion surely indicates confidence on the patt of well-informed interests in the future of anthracite. FASSING OF TIIE JIMMIES. The Delaware and Hudson company has sold about 1,000 old coal Jimmies to a railroad company in the sjuth. Tho cars are now being forwarded to the purchasers. The jimmies have been btatloned upon switches near Meadowdale and were thrown out uf use when the new patent coupling ar tangements were adopted by the com rany in accordance with the new state l.iw. The company found it cheaper to buy new cars than to refit the old ones. it was Intended first to set fire to the old cars some night when the wind was blowing in tho right direction. Subsequently It was decided to have the cars dismantled at Oneonta. It was found, that tills would cost more than the Iron which the company wanted to save nnd tho cars were sold. Blnghamton Evening Heiald. CLEVER PIECE OP WORK. The water In the old Honey Brook No. 3 near Hazleton slope has been successfully tapped by a drill hole in the No. 1G slope of tho Lehigh and Wilkes-Burre Coal company. For some time tho ofllclals have been keeping a drill hole ahead of them In the No. G gangway which was being diiven to the abandoned working and tho tapping of the water was a success In every way. Fearing that tho water might po.slb!y force Its way through the pillar of coal which divides the slores the men were all ordered out of the mines yesterday so that there would be no xlsk or danger oC an ac cident. The workings which were tapped have been flooded since 1S03 when they were drowned to extinguish a fire which was raging in them at that time. They contain a large body of water and the same will bo drained Into No. 1C and pumped out as the pumps can take It. The workings that are being drained contain n large amount of coal and there Is lots of good work in them and during the coming summer they will be dried ami the working of them resumed. Haz leton Plain Speaker. D L. & W. SUNDAY TRAINS. W. H. Truesdnle, president of the Delaware, Lackawanna und Western Railroad company, said yesterday that h knew of no dissatisfaction among tho employes of tho company because of Sunday suburban trains or other innovations made Blnce ho became president. Tho only opposition to the Sunday trains, which had come from certain suburban residents, was now pretty thoroughly settled.

The members of the Building Trades council expect to have a large attend ance at thu tax payer's meeting, which they will hold tonight in Carpenters' hnll, Kconomy building. 225-227 Wyo ming avenue. A firm located at Jacksonville, Ind., Is building forty large cabooses for the Lehigh Valley equipped with all the most modern devices, and It is ex pected that they will be used on the long tuns between Weatheily and tide water. General Passenger Agent Burdlck, of the Delaware and Hudson road, has enjoined conductors to exercise great er care in the matter of mileage books. Only members of the purchaser's fam ily, or his Urm, or employes, will be permitted to ride on such books. The company will prosecute speculators In mileage books. "If It comes to a crisis and requires a strike, why we are fully prepared," was the answer to a query of a. mem ber of the Building Trades council yesterday, concerning the anticipated clash between the Master Builders and tho council utter June 1. "Besides," he continued, "we are taking every precaution to prevent men coming hero from outside on false promises, and wo are receiving encouraging re turns ulong the line. Wo will do noth ing to incur the bad opinion of the public and will proceed on a business basis." One of the changes rumored to take Iilace on the Delaware, Lackawatna nnd Western is increasing the distance to be run by local freights. At pres ent the locul freight crews on that division make one round trip between Kingston and Scranton for a day. Un der tho change these crews will run between Scranton and Northumber land, a trip in each direction to con stitute a day's work. Exchange. This matter still exists as u rumor. No changes along the line Indicated have been made, and It Is said that none will be made for sometime. COURT HOUSE NEWS. Doctor Wants his Pay. The papers in a suit brought by Dr. J. H.
