A meeting of the stockholders of the 7-ackawanna Iron and Steel company Is called for today at the company's ofilec In this city, to ote upon ths question of Increasing the capital stock from $3,750,000 to $23,000,000. What the purpose of the meeting Is has not as yet dovelr&ied. There Is a general impression Oat It means an alliance with the new Huffalo steel concern of which so much has been written during the past year, but fi local stockholder said yesterday in a positive manner that the proposed in crease has no connection whatever with the new Buffalo concern. "What Is the purpose of the In crease?" was nked. "Oh, that's another matter," was the short Imt courteously delivered rejoin der "We will take up this question M. some future meeting." Connecting the Collieries. The work of survejlng routes for the connection of the (olllerles of the several Individual operators In Pitts ton with the new anthracite trans porting lino Is being hurried along. For several days past a force of sur veyors In charge of A R. Dunning has Deen at work nnd lines have alrejdy been laid to collieries of the Newton and Old Forge companies and to the Butler colliery". In order to reach the rollleiles on the west side of the river the construction of a bridge will be necessary, besides the ciosslng of four railroads. The engineers are now at working making surveys tor the ap proaches to the bridge, which will bo built at r'ort Blanchard, the southern terminus of the trio and Wyoming Volley railroad. According to present plans, no grade crossings will be made and the rail road will be run overhead on both sides of the river. The consummation of such plans means an enormous amount of work and expense, as It wlU require the erection of nbout two miles of bridging, but the objection of th public and other transporting lines will thereby be oveicome. The work of the surveyors will bo contlnutd as far south ns Kingston. Mr. Dunning saj the road will suiely be constructed and prove of great value to the busi ness Interests of Plttbton. The prog ress of the 'new railroad will undoubt edly be watched with Interest. Valley Wants Moie Room. The Lehigh Valley Is making an ef fort to get possession of the old wagon roaJ which runs from Coxton to Ran Fom, nt the foot of the mou tain, and for a 'ew miles tight bcsiuo the tiaik. The road Is known as "Tne Najrows" and Is used considerably bv farmers fiom Riiuom and vl nltv to reach Plttston. It is practically Lie only road ussl between Plttston and Ran Kom. for driving put poses. Tne J ehlp'i Valley people want to lay tracks on this road, but they ate not unreason able In what they nsk. They will construct a. snorter and mmffi fbll YO! v . Headlight Water White Oil gives the brightest and best light that pure oil can give.

Thu Ran som people uu divided In their opin ions nbout the prospective change. Some say It will be a decided benetlt. The now road will make the distance to this city shoittr, will be smoother and will avoid the uneasiness which all teamsters feel when driving alonr the nnrrows. The other side, however, say this Is not so. In their estima tion thr distance will be longer, the road hllb and moio dangerous :han the present load. They vow they will go to Scrnnton Instead of Plttston If the old road Is secuied by the Lehigh Valley. They lnve usi'i' this .ngumcnt with Pltts ton merohnnts nnd the result Iris b -en gi"at activity among Plttston Dullness men to prevent the change. A peti tion will be circulated asKlng the court to res tu In the Valley from taking the load. Wilkes-Bsirre Record. Tail Ropo Haulage. The usefulness of the mule In the coal mines Is now almost over. Com petition has foiccd him to take his plnce with the stieet car horse. In a mine In which tho vein Is not on a level, but rather contains a large num ber of "dips," the most satisfactory method yet found Is the tall rope sys tem. It has been adopted at tho Storrs colliery and Is considered to be the most satisfactory possible for fhese shafts. In shaft No. 1 32.000 feet of rope are used. This Is divided Into smaller lengths for the different roads. In the "upper bench" of the 14-foot vein 20,000 feet are used upon five roads. The longest one of these Is 3,500 feet long and Is the outlet for fortv-one chambers. The extreme simplicity of this sys tem Is one of Its pilnclpal features By Its use iour men and an engine do the work previously done by twenty five mules with less trouble and in less time. Frequently trains of twenty-one loaded cars aie drawn out i one time, but the maximum load of .i train of mule1- could draw was a train of seven loaded cars. A Ufl-horse power engine has ben placed at the foot of the shaft. It his two drums so placed that when the rop Is being wound aiounJ one of them the other Is free to play out the rope. In each road Is stiung die lope redded there. To draw a train of cars to the foot of the shaft one end Is al tichel to the front of the rar nnd tne ther to the rear. The "hauling" ropo runs ilong pulleys between the tracks, 'hlle the teturn rope travels on over head pullevs This train then takes out lioth ends or tails of the rope. Af ter the loaded cats are sent to tho sur face a train of empty cars Is mnde up and Is sent to tho end of tho road for dlstrll utlon to the miners. Each day EDO car.i are thus brought to the foot of the shatt to be sent to the surface and the same number of empty cars sent to take their places Three men are employed In running those trains In addition to the engi neer. One makes up the trains and the connections, another Is employe! at the foot of the shaft, while tho third accompanies the train and un fartens the rope after signaling by means of an electric bell to tho engi neer to stop hl3 engine. At each end of tho road there Is a long distance telephone connected with one at the foot of the shaft. By tho use of this the "driver" is able to notify the man at that place If theio Is anything wrong along the road. Safer Than Street Railways. "When it consldeied that the acci dents to passpngent that have occurred on nearly :3.C0J miles of road, and the fatal accidents have amounted to but seventy-four, and that there are ahout 1,400 miles of stieet i all way In Wnn 3lvaula irion which 'he fatal ac -i dents to passenceu have mtmlierur boventeen, It would reen that the safe ty uf pafchtngers on steam rallw..-s li much greater than upon tho rtrff: railways. The number of fatal accidents arnon? employes, amounting to 655, has ln-en at i'ie late of one to ch 453. Lant year one emp' a& killed to (very 434. Among t.ie non-fatal accidents unio' k employes theie was one to each 2. Last year the number wrs 1 to ( ach 20. While tho change la slight In the ptr centnKj of fatal and non-fatal noi dents among employes, it In sufficient to givo some encouragement as to greater freedom from accident when nil the safety appliances that arp au thorized by law shall be applied to the rolling stock of the vorporatinns doing business lit this state and throughout the country. Tabooed Locomotives. The Pennsylvania Itallroad company, since Its Introduction of heavy, stiong and faet locomotives on the West Jer sey and Seashore i a 11 road, which com pelled engineer and uteman to oo sep arated, lias come to the conclusion that this type of engine will not do, as the officials, especially those of the motlvo power department, are against the iparatlon of the engineer and fire man. In future thu new locomotives will be constructed so as to put these two men together In the cab nnd In sight of each other at all times. The locomotives originally put on the Wert Jersey and Seashore rail road are of enormows size and are constructed so that the cab Is placed In the 'enter of tho locomotive In or der to give more room for heating pur pCfs I la thought that wMI the llrebox In new locomotives will not u as large and tho heating capacity somewhat reduced, means will be found to secure as much power as Is given In the old type. Philadelphia Prcio. Enormous Number of Fnsscs. By Saturday It Is roughly estimated that 4,000,000 annual passes will be In the Imiids of the American railroad men teadv for use on nnd after Now Year's day. That reprtscnts only 75 per cent, if the total number that will be Issued fit ring the year, the oth r 25 per eon, being sent out from tlmi to time, as occasion demands 'Although an annual pass," said a passenger man, "Is ono of the eas.is things to manipulate, few ara misused. Occasionally one Is lost or stolen, and some one pioflts thereby until the Io Is discovered. Then It Is buiiotlneJ by the railroads over whose 'lne It Is good and taken up when presented. The majority of the nnnun' requite no signature, It being presumed that the incn to whom they are Issued will not abuse the privilege," The recent agitation to do away wV tho Issue of annual posses evidently has had no effect upon the number to be distributed this year. Reports frm tn, railroads with general headquir ' is In the city show that more appli cations for the coming year have bcui lecelvfd than ever heretofore. Bradford Central Railroad. The Bradford Central Railroad com pany has Hied a mortgage of $750,000 in Biadford county to cover the Issue of its first mortgage gold bonds. Tho mortgage Is given the Knickerbocker Trust company of New York city, and Is dated July 1, 1803. and Is one of the laigcst, n not tho largest orig inal mortgage ever llled in Bradford county. It Is given under the resolution of the directions of the company bonding the toad not to exceed $25,000 per mile and coers all the company property now held or to be acquired between Canton and Towanda and between Canton and Ansonla. There seems lit tle reason to doubt the early com mencement of nctual construction of the Bradford Central.
