Plans of tho Lehigh Valloy. "The regular monthly meeting of the l.ehlgh Valley Hallioad ompan. was held In this city yesterday," nys the Philadelphia Pre&s. "President AVal teis, of tho company, was seen after the meeting and was asked If the com pany would continue to keep on spend ing large (-urns of money for tho Im provement of tho road and making the necessary alterations. He replied that for Home thro laige sums of money would he expended, and it would not cens" until everything was in a flrst elnss condition. "In regard to the anthracite coal trade ho stated that it Is in better hhnpe now than It has been for a number of years and prices are being well maintained. All the companies have more orders than they can fill, nnd the mines are being worked to their fullest capacity. He thought that there would be a good demand for an thracite coal during tho winter, and owing to the scarcity in the east prices would bo stiff. "In reply to tho question as to what kind of work tho company would do during the coming year ho stated that most of the money would be expended on locomotives, relaying tracks, new sidings and enlargement of terminals. Radical changes will be made In the various freight yards. These aro to be enlarged so that facilities for quick Handling of freight will be far superior to what they aro now." Will Oporato on Jan. 1. It Is thought that the entire road be tween Honosdalo and Carbondale will be fully equipped and the large yellow coaches running over It by Jan. 1, 1900. Early In January a through car will be run each way between Honesdale and "Wilkes-Dane. Some five miles of the heavy rails have already been laid west of Far view. There are several gangs of track layers putting In the heavy rails between Honesdale and Waymart. A turntable Mxty-flvo feet in diameter is to be put In at the lower end or the I'nion docks. Work on same will begin at once nnd bo rushed to completion. Tho new union station soon to he erect ed In Honesdale will be one of the finest nnd handsomest nlong tho entire Dela ware & Hudson system. Miners Fooled Again. Some time ago John Skeath, of Mahanoy City chaperoned forty-four men from that place to Montana, wpero they were promised steady work In the mines with wages ranging from J2.75 per day and upward. When the party reached Billings. Montana, which Is forty miles from the scene of the mines, they wore met by a labor or ganization leader. He Informed the men that a strike was In progress nt Beecher, where thp mines are located, and to avoid trouble they should not go to work when they reached their destination. The organ izer's Information was correct. Tho men reached there and refused to go to work nnd aro now trying to obtain em ployment at other work. Sullivan Coal Bolt, The following extract Is from the Sulllvnn Gazette, DuHhoie, Pa.: "W. V. JacUson of this town la puttlnff a drift Into the coal lands of the heirs of tho late Hon. George D. Jackson, and building a road to tho new opening We are fully convinced from experi ments mado that this coal, when Intro, duced Into the markets, will prove to he far superior to tho ceal from tho other mines along the valley, being free from slate and harder." From the nrtlcle It would appear that capital ists have been investigating and in specting the property with a view of leasing tho Innda to extensively de velop tho coal. "Tho .lacksons havo 470 acres of land in one bloclc, under which there is n four-foot and an eight-foot vein, mak ing twelve feet of coal, which has been demonstrated by several openings and tests made with a diamond drill. At th usual basis of reckoning there aro at least 8.000,000 tons of anthracite coal of a superior quality." Thin anil That. 9qw1ur-tQ s Imvo bftn n .titled thit jeports p'iouU be made up and neat to Superintendent of Trannportnll m Daly covering the movement of light engines and cabooses when moving1 over any portion of tho road, In the same manner na though freight cars were being handled. The new electric haulage system at tho Cayuga mine Is now In operation, nnd will add materially to the output of coal at that breaker. THE BOER AND HIS RIFLE. Differences Between Weapon TJsod Now nnd That of Twenty Years Ago. From tho New York Sun, , In tho war of 1879-SO tho Boers dis played deadly nccuracy with the rifle, but their weapon then was very dif ferent from the arm used nt Dunde,e. The rlile of twenty years ago was built on the lines of the British Mar tini. It was a hammerless arm of about nine pounds weight, with a 30 Inch hnlf-octagon barrel and a shot gun butt Etock. The calibre waB 45, with a bullet weighing from 405 to 450 grains. The powder charge was 90 grains In a brass drawn cartridge case. The rifle was sighted at 2,000 yards, i bone without splintering. But when It Besides the usual stationary sight It j upsets the shock Is terrible. The bul had a leverslble front that is, a sight let literally smashes the Ilesh and bone capable of being used ns on ordinary front sight, nnd, by a single motion, It was changed Into a fine plnhead ' sight coveted with n ring to keep It from being knocked off. On an occa- slon where particularly fine shooting was demanded this front globe was further covered with' n thimble-shaped . hood, shadlnp it perfectly. The usual I standing rear or fixed sights were on the barrel, while on the gun's grip j was a turndown peep that was rega- i lated by a sldeserew to an elevation ! of 2,000 yards. Tho peep and globa ' wore never used under 700 or S00 yards. ' "I was very much Interested in the Boer rillemen and their weapons," said Archibald Forbes, who was with Sir Kveln Wood's column In South Africa In 1S79-S0. "They arc marvelous rllli shots. They shoot their antelope and . other game from the saddle, not appar ently caring to get nearer to tholr ' quarry than COO or 700 yards. Then they understand the currents of air, their effect upon the dtlft of a bullet, and can judge distance ns accurately ns It could be measured by a skilled engineer. They can hit an ofllcer as fnr as they can discern the Insignia of rank. Sir George W. Colley, tho commander in South Africa, was killed at a distance of 1,400 yards at Mbjuba Hill. We lost terribly in ofllcers at the fight mentioned, and also at Things Nek and Ilorke's Drift, from the dead ly rllles of the shaipshootlng Uoets,." It is easy enough to see how the Beer become so expert with the rift. History of one hundred and more years ago in the southwest and the west of this country is repenting Itself on tho South African veldts. Every old stato of the American Union, except Louis iana, was won from its red owners by the pioneer and his deadly rille. For 21" years the Hollander who went to far-off South Africa and his descen dants have fought wild beasts and wild men for tho country they wanted. Tha Boer region of South Africa, producing fine wheat and corn crops, Is very fer tile. It has a native grass that live stock thrives on, with a climate very much like that of the country from southwestern Kan?as to New Mexico, But to obtain this country the Boor had first to conquer it. Tills made hlin a sharpshooter. One hundred and fifty years ago the Dutclt farmer with his five-foot-barrel roer, a smooth-bore gun, was a dead shot within tho limi tations of his weapon. Every Boer Is a hunter. He has to be. His farm is large, anywhere from lt,000 to 2",000 acres. The country Is sparsely settled. Tho Hon and other smaller cats and th. hyena were the natural enemies of his flocks and hetds. They had to be kept UUIWI J J till, IUVI Ulll. JUhVI JJf liiv j rifle. Kruger is himself said to have ! 4 killed 2r.0 lions, not to rpeak of pan thers and hyenas. Then the ever-present danger of a native outbreak caused the solitary farmer or Boer to see to It that he had the best arms available for defence and offence The Boer weapon that did such exe cution the other day Is the sporting model of the Mannllcher, a German arm, perhaps the most powerful weapon of its calibre and weight In the world. The military Mannllcher Is used In the armies of Austria, Holland, Greece, Brazil, Chill, Peru and Roumanla. The Ideal Mannllcher Is a sporting rifle known ns the Hacnel model. It Is a beautifully finished arm, weighing about eight pounds, and costing In South Africa 200 German marks. The rills barrel is thirty inches long, the ear- I A REMINDER g If nothing can convince you, this will. Here vance sheets of our pamphlet, now in print.

In July, 1898, two lotsn Clay avenue, between Gibson and Myrtle streets, eleven blocks from the Court House, were sold for $1,000; the same lots were sold in October, 18!)!), for $0,000. In 1880 one lot on Adams avenue, comer of Linden street, sold for $800; in 1805 the same lot sold for $:5,n00.

It has a pistol grip and sling straps, and Is halr-trlggcrcd? Its calibre Is thirty. This rifle has an extremo range of 4,600 ynrds, and a killing range of 4,000. At that distance, the bullet will bo through two Inches of solid ash, nnd nearly three of pine, qulto enough force to kill, If the bul let struck a vital part. At twenty yards it will shoot through fifty Inches of Pine. The bullet for wnr Is full mantled, with a fine outer skin of cop per or nickel. That for game shooting is only half mantled, leaving tho lead point exposed so that It opens back or mushrooms when it strikes. For deer, elk and bears there can bo no better arm. Though tho bullet makes but a small orifice where it enters, the ex pansion causes it to tear a hole as large as a man's finger when it makes its exit. Traveling at the rate of 2,000 feet a second the force of this bullet's blow Is tremendous, There has been much discussion over the Dum-Dum bullet. It Is a soft-pointed missile, but by no means so deadly or destructive ns Is this Ilaencl-Mannllcher bullet which the Boers are using. If It strikes at clo.e range, or 1,000 ynrds or under, and does not flatten, the Mannllcher bullet bores a hole right through a into fragments. It has been charged that the Boers are using the soft pointed bullet In their deadly Hacnel Mannllcliets. AMERICAN SOLDIERS PRAISED. The behavior of tho American sol diers in far east has attracted atten tion In all parts of the world. So lecent as just before the outbreak of the Transvaal war the Dally Mall of Grahamstown, Cape Colony, In an ap preciative editorial on "The American Troops in Manila," said: "One lesson taught by the strugglo in the Philippine aichipelage is the Amazing fortitude of the American troops. Practically every man In tho volunteer forces has been under flra almost continuously since Feb. 4, and in addition to constant 'lghtlng, has never had a moment's freedom from anxiety ns to possible manoeuvres of skulking, wily foes, who know every inch of the country, and know how to take ndvantsge of its potentlolltles. The lines have been so long that It bus been necessary to keep every regiment to the front. The regulars have had al most the same expeiience but not quite so much of it. If the campaign has demonstrated nothing else it has shown the marvellous staying powers of Uncle Sam's troops suddenly transferred to the tropics." Greeting. Hall, great Dewey! How d'ye do?
