LIVE NEWS OF THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD NEW BREAKER TO BE ERECTED AT WYOMING. Structure Will Cost $100,000 nnd Be Equipped with Modern Improve ments Susquehanna Cool Com pany Has Posted Notices Asking Men to Report for Work Tomorrow. President Truesdale's Visit to This City Yesterday Other Railroad nnd Mine News. A mammoth new breaker on the site of the Mt. Lookout at Wyoming, which wns destroyed by flic on the 21st of Inst August, will be built, and the work nt laying the foundation was hesuti yes terday. The now breaker will stand on the site of the old strueture and be constructed similar to the destroyed one. A number of noticeable Improve ments, particularly the introduction of the most modern machinery, will be made, nlthough in outside appearance It will closely resemble its predecessor. The bize will be nearly the same, viz., about SO feet wide, S5 feet deep and ICO feet in height. It is estimated that be tween 000,000 and 700,000 feet of lumber will he used in its construction, nnd the approximate cost will aggregate $100, 000. This sum may probably be ex ceeded, considering the advancement In the price of lumber and Iron. Lamoreaux & Smith, the well-known breaker builders, have the contract and the stone work will be done by Reese S. Isaacs, of Dallas. Lumber and other material are now being un loaded dally and the work of framing the breaker will be commenced as soon as practicable. It is estimated that the new breaker will be completed and ready for operation by the last of Apill or tlie first of next May. The best grades of yellow pine and hemlock lumber will be used. General Superintendent Richard Jlainwaring, of the Temple Iron com pany, stated to a AVIlkes-Harre Record man yesterday that It would be equipped with the most modern ma chinery, including shakers. Jigs, revolv ing swings and rolls. When completed it will no doubt bo one of the most complete breakers in the anthracite coal fields. The interior plans have not been fully decided' upon and conse quently the contemplated plant cannot nt present be described In detail. The Chris jigs will be used Instead of the Lehigh Valley jigs and there has been talk of furnishing the motive power by a number of engines placed in differ ent parts of the breaker. The same method of getting the coal into the breaker will be employed as previously, that is by a trestllng and plane, which will san the Delaware, Lackawanna and "Western tracks and run from the head of the shaft to tho top of the breaker. The coal will be fed into the breaker by means of move able plates nnd the breaker will afford a capacity of about l.fiOO tons dally. The culm will be run Into the mines by means of bore-holes and will be used to fill up the abandoned workings. Tills plan was contemplated before the destruction of the old breaker and the bore-holes were nut down during th past summer. Facilities for loading all description of cars will be provided and the same tracks for this purpose will be utilized as previously. Another noticeable feature of the new breaker will be the means of supplying the coal from the breaker to the boilers. This work will be done by means of an Improved system of .conveyors. The coal will bo sliced by shakers Instead of by screens and will bo cleaned prin cipally by jigs. If n number of engines are used it will probably take about nix, placed In various sections of the breaker. This plan of having several engines is said to give excellent sat isfaction where it has been tried and quite an nddltloual number of jigs will be used. Since the destruction of the old breaker, Outside Superintendent Ross has had quite a large force of men at work clearing up tho ruins and the debris has now nbout been removed, enough so that it will not mterfeie with tno work of the stone masons who will commence work this morning. This breaker has been destroyed twice within the last thiee yeuis. the first time being June C, 1S9C, and the last time Aug, (21 of the present year. The colliery has been unfortunate, mvtngbeen visited by a peculiar aw. dent about three years ago. when the surface caved In at Wyoming and al lowed a large quantity of water and quicksand to pour Into the mines, which for a time threatened It with complete destruction. About 800 men and boys W?re thrown out of employment by the Burning1 of Uie breaker and it has been nsrlouflly felt in Wyoming nnd vicinity, toeing the principal Industry of the town, and Its loss consequently crippled HheVbusIness of that section. Tho colliery Is owned by the. Temple Iron ' company, of which Thomas II, IWattfins, of this city, Is president, the ttboveompany being tho successor of the" Simpson & Watklns company. It !svtriclr largest colliery and was opened nt a'quUe heavy expense. Electricity Ji, used for lighting nnd hauling pur jkxks and the improvements have been the subject of considerable comment In the various papers nt different times. Nnnticoke Mines May Resume. There Is an unlooked for develop ment In the Nnnticoke strike situation, the company deciding to attempt to resume operations without reaching an' amicable agreement with the men, says the Wllkes-Harre Record. There was much surprise among the strikers when It was learned that notices, stating that operations would be resumed, had been placed on the blackboard. The notice roads a1? fol lows: "Breaker No. G will work on Thurs day nnd nil employes wishing to work will present themselves at the colliery at 7 o'clock on Thursday morning IJrenkers Nos. 5 nnd 7 will be started as soon as the mines can be put In readiness. Any employe wishing work at cleaning roads, timbering, etc., will communicate with the different fore men ns soon ns possible. "John H. Tonkins, superintendent." When the employes received Informa tion concerning this new phase in the lockout a mass meeting was Immediate ly called and speeches were made In Kngllsh and Polish. The men decided to remain out until the company offers a more favorable proposition. A mem ber of the committee of strikers stated after tho meeting that the strikers de cided "to fight the battle out until the last." It was also learned that Superin tendent Tonkins and General Manager Morris Williams offered to make a con tract with the men. The committee stnte that If this proposition were ac cepted the men would be In tho same position they were previous to the strike. The strikers pledged them selves to stand as one until the offic ials of the company make some better proposition. One of the leading spirits in the strike made the following statement: "At the convention held In Carbondale recently a motion was passed that each mem ber of the United M,lne Workers of America In this district should be as sessed $1 per month. There are 35,000 members In districts Nos. 1 and S.whlch means on an average that each man shall receive more from tho union than he received when at york. So you can see something should be done at Nnnti coke. Theie will be no settlement made by an outsider. The affair must be settled by the men who are now on strike in Nnnticoke and Glen Lyon. The men do not ask more than what is reasonable, and hope that John Ton kins or the general manager will soon sign the schedule of the miners." Effect of Low Fares:. One of the several Interesting lea tures of the Ontario and Westell's an nual report is the statement that the reduction of passenger fares to the uniform rate of 2 cents ?r mile re sulted in the first year of Its operation In an increase of 43 per cent. In the numbs.- of passengers carr.'ed nnd as well In a slight '-..'tvavj in levenuo. The total recela's fiom passengers In 1898 amounted fi $f!41,00) and In 18S9 to $709,000. This showing is qaiu bcymul t.ie forecast of the oil! i.ns of the road although the oplnon was expressed when the reduction was detrrminsd on that the 2-cent r.ite woulu 'n the end stimulate travl and d"elope the country adjacent to the lln, thus eventually nugumentlng the company's receipts In both frelgit ana passenger earnings. President Truesdale's Visit. President W. II. Trues lale, of the ackawnnna railroad, wh i wnn in the ciyt yesterday, made a tour of inspec tion around the mines v.h General Superintendent Huss-il during the d.iv. The object of the tou Is unJerstood to be the pushing of th anthracite output to meet the dem.m.N fiom all parts of the country. When Mr. Tiuesdale wis j?ked by certain officials of the foniiym:' ie gardlng the announcement that the Delaware, La 'kawanna and WosU'n company contemplated the leasing of the Central Railroad of New Jersej, he reiterated his statement that hi knew nothing about it. As far as could be leani'd Mr. Truesdale's visit had no pa.iicu'.ir significance, except a eonf-u'iut, with Superintendents Russell and Loornls relative to the coal output. Engines Are Scarce, The Middle division of the Pennsyl vanla railroad, says the Hnrrlsburgj Patriot, Is at present very short of motive power and has been compelled to borrow several engines from tho Northern Central railroad In order to keep up with the Increasing demand for locomotives. The toad, or rather tho Middle illvlMou, Is now carrying longer trains thnn ever beforo and the engines are proving equal to tho heavy strnln put upon them. The heavy trains will have to bo cut at least twenty cars as w,on as the winter season sets In and this will ne cessitate another call for motlvo power, for although tho train will be shorter the traffic will keep on increasing. FJremenvaro looking forward to pro motion with thte coming cold weather and-the consequent Increasing of tho number of engines on tho road. Demolishing a Breaker. Tho residents of Klchmondale, Vand ling and nearby places In the '.Iclnlty of Carbondale have been watching the destruction of what waB formerly the scene of much business activity. The New Buffalo breaker la belnar torn down and shipped to Shamokln, Tho building Is a comparatively iicwv one nnd it, la said It will soon be ro created and In operation In Schuylkill county The Now Buffalo colliery was until recently operated by the Russell 13. Coal company, an organization com poped largely of Scranton capitalists. What was first thought to be a "fault" in the veins of coal they were work ing wns found to bo so extensive that no more coal could be found on thel property. The breaker is a comparatively row one and the lumber nnd machinery, which was purchased by the Shamokln firm, nrn now being loaded on tars for shipment. D. M. Lynch, of Simpson, has purchased what coal remained irr the company's chutes and is disposing of it at retail. This and That. Every colliery within a radius of ten miles of Shamokln Is working steadily, while they are all undergylng ImDrovementB. The foundations of the Klolz silk mill near Capouse avenue nnd Wal nut street are finished, and already there is considerable progress shown on part of the brick work. There will be a meeting of Mlnework ers Union. No. SC2, this evening In St. .John's hnll, Pine Brook, and measures will be taken towards dividing tha union on account of Its size. District Organizer Courttlght and District Vice-President Miller will be prsdcnt and will deliver addresses. PALMISTRY IS A SCIENCE. Written for The Tribune. Laughing eyes look Into mine, and n girlish voice says: "Yes, it Is the cor lect thing to havo your hand read, for palmHlry is the latest fad." To such, I answer it is not a fad, it Is a sckneo, old almost as Time himself. Only the truly learned are able to grasp Its truths. Do not therefore visit an intelligent cheirnmutlwt or palmist with tho thought that It Is for amusement, a talk with a chin latan, for which you should feel a slinme. Neither go with tho Im pression that you are the solon of hu manity, nnd that your opinions aro better than years of patient study. liellevo what you know to be true, and give caro tid analytical thought to the rest. Imagine not for a moment that the llno in your hand aro the tracings of labor or chance, for chance occupies no part In the work of Infinitude. Chelro gives tho Impress of a hand only 21 hours old, and yet the lines are a his tory easily traceable from the cradlo to the grave. Many a palm exhibits the square, rec tangle star, circle, rhomboid, but overy one's attention must be arrested by the great superior angle, that the linos of the hand help to form with such mathe matical precision. In these lines we havo tho geometrical value of the hand. Look again, nnd we havo what may be called its geographical value. Hero is a map of an unexplained world, the north ern and southern hemispheres of human ity. Tho south, physical, animal matter. The north, the cool, bright realms of mind. The equatorial dividing line., tho head line. The southern hemisphere in some hands reminds us of Emanuel Swe denborg, warm nnd frozen regions or we'll say, "Plutonic shores." We find hero the tcrrld empire of passion's desire. Bounding it, the temperate zona; noxt, the Arctic clime, in which selfishness and Indifference dwell in their frosty crusta ceans. The higher north wo ascend into the cool regions of reason nnd philosophy, tho Impression dawns that we ore surely drifting into tracings of the unseen. The awe of infinite authorship envelops us, and the soul goes out in one mighty peti tion for ability to decipher tho strange chlrogphy of the wonderful page. In stantly the words of Job, as they appear In one of the best Hebrew translations, come back to us, "God placed signs and seals In the hand of man that nil men may know His work." Behold prejudice has robbed this declaration of Its original significant beauty, leaving only nn exam ple of ambiguity. "Ho stalem up the hands of every man, that all men may know his works." Why the Latin chuich deemed cheiro mancy a shadow of paganism nnd visited it with cruel punishment, she must nn swer alono to Almighty God. It Is hard to crush a nation, hard to crush an In dividual, but such are promised a resur rection, to destroy a science that has the impress of the Creator is like breaking the tables of stone. Par back In tho misty shadows of for gotten time, long before tho Persian con quests, long before our Christ taught Ills wonderful truths, palmistry' read man to man. There came a time when the world scorned its teachings, but, asks a re nowned follower, "Was It any kinder to its Christ?" Only a few strolling gypsies, originally perhaps Hindustan refugees, caught snatches of tho great work, and, regardless of whip, rope or fire, sought to prolong existence by Its prophesies. Christ's teachings also were saved by the poor and tho lowly, and today, even today, they are the only oncs.who crown Him King of Kings, Cheiromancy no longer rests alono with the Ignorant, or takes tho low standard of "fortune teller." The world is begin ning to know there is not only a mystery, but a cartful order In the lines at the hand. The best of palmists have not classified them all, but have the best of our physlcinns arrived at n stage when nnthlngsln materia medlca Is baffling? From the little bulb springing from Its earthly bed, to the great organic forces that compel the universe to move us tho finger of God directed, is there a science that has yielded up Its every secret to Inqurlng man'.' No, a thousand times "He is Wise Who Talks But Little. This is only a half truth. If wise men had held their tongues, ive should know nothing about the circulation t . t t r .. . Of tile alOOd.
