LIVE-NEWS OF THE
INDUSTRIAL WORLD
PURPOSE OF DIAMOND LAND CO.
' NOT YET KNOWN.
Mr. Foster Says That the Plot Was
Purchased for Building Purposes
but Just Wliat Will Be Located
There Is Not Known Yet as the
Purchasers Have Not Organized.
Mr. Browning Has the Same to Say
Regarding the Land Purchased by
Him.
The Diamond Jlats land embraced In
the purchase made by Messrs. Foster,
HarrlnR and others, commlseH sixty
eight acres, and four acres were pur
chased by Attorney Urownlng. The
purchasers In both deals have not yet
organized, and aside from the closing
iif the negotiations, nothing has been
done.
Mr. Browning staled that nothing
will be dune until the company Is
formed, nnd plans arranged for utiliz
ing the land. It is contemplated, how
ever, to erect a plant for the construc
tion of steam heating npparatus.
Regarding the statement that n
Pittsburg steel concern was interested
in the purchase or the land bought by
Messrs. Foster and Uarrlng, the for
mer said yesterday that any announce
ment nt this time was premature.
The land was purchased, Mr. Foster
paid, for building purposes, but just
what will be located there Is not
known, as the purchasers have not
hold a meeting yet. nnd will not until
next week.
Improved Steam Valve.
A patent steam valve for the heating
of passengpr coaches has been invent
ed by John It. Delsher, nn employe of
the Pennsylvania railroad residing at
Pottsvllle, which will probably be
adopted by the railroad companies
throughout the country. The new de
vice which weighs about forty pounds,
will take the place of the four or five
valves now used.
The valve Is placed In the center of
the passenger coaches nnd a steam
pipe from the engine passes through
It. By turning a small lever the steam
can be shut off from any car desired
while the steami passes along into the
other cars. By leaving the lever open
part of the steam passes into each car
and the back one is as well heated as
the front ones. Another lever closes
the valve on the rear car preventing
any of the stenm from escaping.
The invention relates to steam dis
tributing to cars where radiators aie
used. After the steam passes through
the cars It Is returned by a vacuum
pump or other device on the locomo
tive to the boiler. Its object is to pro
vide an iproved construction of valve
mechanism connecting with tho radia
tors In the cars and the boiler of the
engoine whereby superior advantages
are secured with respect to efficiency
in operation.
The Inventor is looking for capital
to manufacture the valve.
This and That.
It is said that miners arc leaving
Shamokln and other sections of the
legion for Kansas nnd Arkansas.
The Kingston (N. Y.) Express says
that there is talk of the Deleware &
Hudson canal bed being sold by Mr.
Coykendall to the Pennsylvania Coal
Co. The idea conveyed is that the
Krle & Wyoming will be continued front
JIawley to the Hudson river, or that
the Pennsylvania company will oper
nte the canal from Hawley
A number of changes have been
made in the fi eight department of tho
Ontario & Western at Carbomlale.
Fiank Vaughnay has been moved to
Jermyn and Jay N'aglo to Wlnton,
where he will take charge of the signal
Rates.
Tho twenty-three mines of the Del
aware. Lackawanna and Western rail
road company, went on a nine hour a
day shift yesterday, to continue for an
indefinite period.
At the Boston colliery of the D. & H.
Coal Co. at Larksvllle the breaker boys
went on a strike yesterday morning for
higher wages and the mine and
breaker wen- Idle yesterday. The
boys allege that last month those get
ting 70 cents a day were promised a
raise to 7.'. cents, and those getting 75
cents to R.'i cents. They say they work
ed the past month with that under
standing, but when they received their
pay found that they had been paid ac
cording to tho old scale. Wilkcs-Barre
Record.
A delegation from the Cential Labor
Vnlon headed by President Martin
Flaherty, visited Carbondale Wednes
day evening and placed the boycott of
the local theatres before the unions
there, for the purpose of asking their
assistance. Lnst evening a similar
delegation visited Wllkes-Barre and
Placed the matter before tho Central
Labor union of that city.
The Forest City collieries of the
Hillside Coal and lion company, em
ploying over 1.200 men, have been
closed down since last Monday. Almost
the entire business of the town de
pends either directly or indirectly upon
the mines so that the shut down Is i
serious consideration. The cause of the
shut down is not authoritatively
known. W. A. May was out of the cltv
yesterday and no one could be found
to speak for him. There is on im
pression abroad In and about Forest
City that the action of the company
iwas prompted by an impending strike.

V0SBURG MAKES REPLY.
Another Opinion on the City Con
troller's Right to Extra Pay for
Doing School Board Work.
Below Is another opinion from City
Solicitor Vosburg supporting City Con
troller Howell's claim for compensation
from the school district for handling
the school nccounts. It Is virtually a
reply to Mr. Heedy's opinion of last
week, which assailed the ground taken
by Mr. Vosburg In his original opinion:
Idros Howell, Bsq.. City Controller:
Replying to your second inquiry as to
your relations to the school district, I
would hay. that under the lorty-llrnt sec
tion of the act of May 'IS. 1S74, each third
class city was constituted uno school dis
trict and by the thirty-ninth section of
tho same act. the city controller is given
tho supervision nnd control of the llsc.il
concerns of all departments of the city
and school district.
But there is a i-crloiis question about
tho consltutlonullty of sections thirty
nine nml forty-one. of the act of 1871, for
at least two reasons:
First The act contains more than one
subject, and
Second Tho subject of school districts
Is not st.1t til in the title.
I am Informed that Judgo Mel'lierson
has held that this .section of the act of
1S7I Is unconstitutional, nnd that the
countersigning of school warrants by the
controller is therefoio unnecessary and
the authorities s-eem to support this view
of tho matter.
See Aynr's appeal, 122 Pa,, page 2S3
Of course under this aspect of tho case,
you cannot bo compelled to perform du
ties Imposed upon you by an unconsti
tutional aet of assi'inbl.v
Fuitliermore, the act of ssth May. ISvH,
P. L. 277. which legulates tho municipal
ities of this state, so far as Its provisions
ate in conflict with the act of 1S7I, de-
flues fully the duties of the city control
ler, and now bent In this net are any du
tbs wllli respect to the school dlstrl.'t
Imposed upon him. The act of IfcSl, article
xlx, section 2, provides that "All acts or
parts of acts inconsistent hurewith. or
supplied by tho provisions hereof, be and
the same are hereby repealed." This pro
vision npp.iicntly repeals the Inconsist
ent provisions of the act of 1S74 with re
H'ect to the duties of the city controller,
i'en if that net is held to be constitu
tional In that part which relates li
school dlstilcts and the city controller's
relation thereto. In my opinion, there
fore, you cannot be compelled to net ns
auditor or controller for tho school dls
trlct. On the question of compensation, I refer
to the decision of the Kothrock vs. School
District. 131 Pa., page 402, wheie It Is held,
Hint in tho absence of any act of assem
bly or ptovlslon mado by tho school dis
trict for his payment, tho city cnntrollei
cannot recover for services rendered the
school district; but the Supreme court
Intimates very strongly in that case, that
If tho lontrollei Is specially employed by
tho school dlstrli t as an Individual, and
not simply on account of being control
ler of the city, ho could recover com
pensation for services rendered.
So It seems that th school district
should employ vou by special appropriate
action, nnd not ask you to perform your
duties as "ex-olllclo" controller of the
school dlstilct.
It Is significant that the act of 1SS.1 has
no provision that the city controller's sal
ary shall be Increased during his term of
nfllee and. iindi r ltber aspect of the case,
whether the sections refened to In the
act of 1S74 are unconstitutional or not, or
If not unconstitutional, they have been
lepenled by the aet of 1KS!1. there Is no
legislative prohibition to the Incrcnse of
his salary or emoluments during his term.
If prohibited, it must be under the con
stitutional piovlslon and as I have al-
lcady advled you. this only prohibits an
Increase by law, which in Lnliluln vs
Philadelphia, i'j Pa. 17i, was Interpreted
to mean by nn act of assembly.
There Is nothing then In tho constitu
tion, to prevent an Increase by some
otlur method, and 1 fall to see how a
payment by the school board would vio
late tho constitution
Further than this, as I have already
said. I do not see how tho hlilng of a
deik by the school board to perform this
work, to be paid by tho body direct
could bo consldeied n payment to you In
any sense of tho word.
As tho matter now stands. I think you
nro fully Justified In requiring the notion
upon the part of the school board, by
which you nro specially emplotd nt a
llxed compensation, before continuing to
perform tho duties required of you by
that body. '
THEATRICAL.
"Queen of Chinatown."
"Tho Queen of Chinatown" comes to
the Lyceum theater on Monday and
Tuesday evenings next. Tho play,
which Is a stoty of life In tho great
Mongolian quarter of New York,
Chinatown, shows in the third net an
opium den in all Its oriental grandeur,
with magnificent tapestries and hang
ings, A portion of the scene Is the
burning of the building. The flrj
scene Is the most modern that stuge
craft can dovlse, and as realistic us
can be produced anywhere without ac
tually burning the theater down. At
Hazleton, Pa., where thv company
played recently, the citizens had not
been educated up to the latter day
realisms nnd when they saw the mod-
ern fire scone, with Its long darts of
rod llamc, twisting nnd turning from
every conceivable quarter and corner
nnd bursting ns well from the lloor,
they rose In horror nnd rushed with
one accord to the strcot. Luckily,
thero happened to be some cool heads
In tho audience, which prevented a
stampede.
Of the Incident, the morning paper
of Hazleton, the following day, after
favoiably reviewing the performance,
snld: "Following closely upon this
scene was tho burning of tho opium
Joint, nnd it was so real that tho audi
ence roso en masse and rushed to tho
doors. It required the combined ef
forts of a number of men to keep tho
audience from stampeding. Return
ing to their seats every person In the
house enjoyed a hearty laugh, nnd
for their benefit the fire scene was
ngaln repeated.
The Gaiety.
It is n source of gratification to out'
theater-going citizens to learn that
Manager Walsh, of tho Gaiety theater,
has engaged to appear nt his house on
Monday, Sept. 2., Mcintosh nnd Davis'
company In "A Hot Old Time in
Dlxqy." Mr. Tom Mcintosh Is well
known here ns a clever colored come
dian, and Mr. Davis Is equally well
known ns the author of such popular
songs as "The Fatal Wedding, "Bag
gage Coach Ahead," "Down In Poverty
Row," "Ho Carved His Mother's Name
lTpon the Tree.' etc.
This attraction will be a decided
treat to nil lovers of clean, refined mus
ical performances, good singing, dnnc
ing nnd vaudeville, rendered in a way
that only the colored people know how
to do it. ThTs attraction Is so far
ahead of the average colored show that
there can bo no comparison between
them. Matinee dally.

Otis Harlan Coming.
Otis Hnrlan comes to the Lyceum
theater on Saturday. Sept. 30, In a
new comedy. It had its flist produc
tion at Poughkeepsle last Monday night
und the Poughkeepsle Kntcrprlse, a
very conservative publication, says the
following of It:
HARLAN HAS A SURE HIT.
"They 'tiled it on tho dog.' as the
say In the profession, here last night,
and the Poughkeepsle canlne.whlch has
seen a good many theatrical experi
ments, never saw one that It liked bet
ter. It was Otis Harlan's debut as a
star and the trial of a new play, "My
Innocent Boy," by George R. Sims, of
1'higlnnd, In which country the scene
Is laid. The piece hns been success
fully played In London, but last night's
performance was its first In this coun
try. It was remarkably smooth for
a first night.
"Mr. Harlan impersonated a young
nrchiect, v ho Is a widower with a 17-year-old
daughter in a boarding school,
and who, having kept his first mar
riage always a sectet, marries a beau
tiful ghl with the blessing of his father,
who thinks him in truth his 'Innocent
boy." It Is the complications that
arise out of the architect's efforts to
keep his secret from his wife and fath
er that causes all the fun of the farce.
"Harlan Interpolates several bright
original songs of his own composition.
The supporting company Is first class
nnd Harlan had to share laughs with
Joseph Allen, who played an exceed
ingly funny pater fnmlllas.
"New York will see 'My Innocent
Boy' on Oct. 2. and It looks from heie
like a great hit."
This Was in Kansas.
"How much longer," asked the tourist
from the Fast, tired of the monotony of
the Journey, "have we got to travel
through this derse foret t?"
"All the wn across the state." respond
ed the conductor. "This isn't a forest
It's a cornfield."
"Gracious heaven!" -Chicago Tribune.

THIS is only a branch of our Dress Goods Stock, bu
it's the most important of all, and we treat it with
the care and attention that it deserves. In seven
years of providing you with Dress Fabrics, we have never had
so much in black to show you. There are hundreds of styles
for you to choose from. We show them in the right center of
the store, under a clear, pure light that is merciless in its dis
closures of faults. Nothing but a good, rich, smooth black will
endure this test. We have nothing else. There is no longer
attached to black an exclusive significance of mourning. Ma

iveness, and it holds a high place in her favor this season.
The whole stock is one worth examining with care.
