Tlio cessation of the conference, as tol 1 yesterday In The Tribune, was due t" the desire cf the committee to con sult with Chief Arthur before giving a limit answer on some important ques tions that arose during the conference and which must be settled before the sessions can be tesumed as there are other Items of tho schedule contingent thereon. Vestehlay afternoon's Associated 3'ress despatches announced that Chief Arthur had effected a settlement of tho "Big Four" trouble and was on his way to Seran'ton. He was expect ed to arrive early this morning. Change of Methods. With the changing of the coal way bill offlce from lie Lackawanna ave nue station of the Lackawanna road to the frelglu depot there also occurs a change in the manner of conducting the olllce. Hert'u.lfore the coal was shipped from the company's mines, and sent to the yards here. The cars were num bered and copied by the force of the way 1)111 ofllce. . Heglnnlng September 1 all coal will bo billed at tho mines nnd sent to the yards,- and the trains made up. This order will, It Is said, decrease the force at the way bill ofllce, and will entail extra duties of the clerical force at the mines. New Building at Hoboken. Plans have been tiled in Hoboken for n new olllce building for the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Hailroad Company, to take the place of their old one, which has stood for more than fifty years at the western end of the depot. The new structure will stand close to the piers, adjoining the train shed. It will be of frame and two stories high with an octagonal tower on the side facing the river. Tho main entrance will fui- the train shed. The structure will be triangular in shape, with sides measuring 87 feet S Inches, 139 feet and 107 feet 2 inche-" respectively. On the ground lloor will be an emigrants' room and storeroom, nnd offices of the Pullman Palace Car Company and Union Newr Company. The second tloor will bo exclusively of llces. Superintendent Haymond Du puy of the Morris & Essex division will have his office In the tower. The ground lloor of tho tower will be used cs a ladies' waiting room. The build ing will cost $13,000. Switching by Gravity. (iravlty Is doing the work of men and steam engines for the Chicago, Lake Shore and Kastern railroad com pany In Its yards on the margin of the lake at the Indiana state line. This saving of men and steam to the extent of hundreds of dollars dally Is male by the employment of nothing more complicated than n hump In the rail road grade and a gradual incline lead ing away from It. This device Is called "gravity switch." It Is regarded as nn epoch-maker in switching cars. The reason why railroad men nre taking a lively Interest In this particular switch at present Is that It is being tested and, ns days go by, some Im provements nre being made' In It. The switch not only enables the com pany to make one engine do the work of four, but It also saves the time that Is employed In other yards In shoving cars on a scale and hauling them off whenever they have to be weigher. This simple-looking hump on the tracks causes tho cars to go on the scales, be weigher, then roll off to the switch where they are desired by the railroad men. The switching and weighing are performed while the cars are running from the top of the hump B8 0wn K VTT? you don't H use our Kaadiight DP Water t Whits Oil HH aoMB't amtil, down I K Rnuka.

The official report on the mineral production of the United States for the calendar year IMS has been made pub lie by the Geological Survey. The non metallic products incheased from $327, 710.6 In 1S97 to $332,783,872, a gain of $2.-i.O72,90fi. The largest contributor to this gain was bituminous coal, which Increased from $M,,r67,224 in 1897 to J132.GSS.313 In 1898. a gain of $13,019,089. The value of the anthracite, however, fell off nearly $4,000,000. It is the plan of the Lehigh Valley H. H. company to straighten Its line wherever possible between Mud Hun and White Haven. Hundreds of men are nt work nt the present time tak ing out an ugly curve at Hickory Hun. At White Haven It Is reported that a new bridge Is to span tho Lehigh HIv er at Bridgeport.

COLLECTION OF CHECKS. Bankers Will Consider It at Their Coming Meeting in Cleveland, O. The bunking interests of the country are very much concerned In the com ing convention to be held at Cleveland. O., on Sept. 5, to devise a system for the collection of checks which will bo national in character. The New York Clearing house, which adopted the first rule for chargo on the collection of outside cheeks, Is par ticularly anxious that tho other cities of the Union shall udopt similar rules. In fact, tho cost of collections for out-of-town items has led to tho transfer of deposits by somo national banks from tho New York Institutions to tho banks of neighboring cities. A call has been sent to the Clearing House association of every Important centre asking that delegates be t-ent to this convention. Tho Scranton Clearing Houfo association will be represented by C. W. Gunster, W. II. Peck nnd F. L. Phillips. They will take a prominent part In tho discus sion with reference to a check collect ing system Inasmuch as from tills city came one of the most vigorous protests ngalnst the system now In vogue at the New York Clearing house. THOSE DECISIONS FROMHARRISBURG IConcluded from Page 3.1 It- may welt be that It was not Intended that any of these should either be sub ject to lmpenchniciit.or- removal on nd dress of two-thirds of' tho senate. Hut that consideration will not prove that an Important municipal ofllcer, exer cising grave public functions, shall not be subject to removal at the pleasure of the power which appointed him." We do not ugree that the highway commissioner is u petty officer, fly Section 3 of the ordinance above re ferred to, bis salary Is fixed nt $1,G00 per annum, and a separate ofllce with necessary office expenses; he Is re iiulred to keep a record of his official acts; to see that all' streets, sidewalks, lanes nnd nlle.vs. and other nubile places, are kept In good order; to see that nil ordinances and regulations of the city In respect to these and to sew ers and water-courses are compiled with and enforced; to make quarterly reports to councils of his olllclnl doings: to furnish a bond, with nt least two sufficient sureties, In the sum of $.",000; und to have paramount control of all work done and laborers employed- on nil the highways and public places of tho city; and many other powers nnd duties nre conferred and enjoined upon him. After full consideration, we are con vinced that no valid distinction can be drawn between this case and the Houseman case, nnd being bound by that nuthorlty. we adjudge that the respondent be ousted and removed from the ofTlce of commissioner of highways of the city of Harrlsburg; and counsel may draft and submit a formal Judg ment. Tho Weiss decision In another Har rlsburR case Is also relied upon to sustain the mayor's position. This Is a case where the select council of Har rlsburg refused to confirm three police appointments of the mayor because the officers they were to succeed were honorably discharged veterans of the civil war, nnd under the act of 1897, not removnble from ofllce without reas onable and Just cause being shown. The mayor brought mandamus pro ceedings to compel the council to take action on the nominations, alleging that the act was in conflict with Art. VI, Sec. 3, of the Constitution, which declares that "appointed officers, other than Judges of the courts of record and tho superintendent of public In struction may be removed nt the pleasure of the power by which they shall have been appointed." Judge Weiss decided that this con tention of the mayor was correct and granted a mandamus to compel the select council to act. Lx-City Solicitor James II. Torrey, who has been retained by Patrolmen Saul and Dyer to ascertain whether or not they can be summarily dis missed, as attempted by the mayor, says he does not see In either decision any warrant for the stand which His Honor takes. The Slmonton decision will not apply In the Saul and Dyer case, Mr. Torrey believes, because there Is a distinction made by the law between appointive ofllces such as street commissioner and that of police ofllcer. The Act of 1899 expressly gives the mayor power to re move officers apolnted by him whose ofllces are cieated by ordinance, but the law In reference to patrolmen, specifically states that "the mayor shall nominate and bv nnd with the consent of select council appoint, sus pend or dismiss and In like manner all vacancies shall be filled." That the appointive power may re move, is not to be disputed, Mr. Torrey says. Tho question to be determined Is who is the appointive power. The answer Is found In the above quotation. "The mayor shall nominate and with select council appoint." Jn a word the Slmonton decision does not npply and the point raised by Mr. Torrey was not disposed of In the Weiss decision. Patrolmen Saul and Dyer are Intent on having the motion taken to the supreme court if necessary to establish the validity of their position. They report each day to Chief Holding for duty and propose to sue for salary for the period that will intervene between their dismissal and the appointment of their successors. In another column Is printed nn op inion from City Solicitor Vosburg In the district chief's case in which he contends that even under the law quoted above tho mayor is the appoin tive power, the select council being vested merely with authority to as sent or dissent, and not with any share of tho power of apolntlng.
