After two weeks of idlcnew, the Jit.
T'lrabant colliery wus stinted up yes
terday morning with many of the strik
ing employes back in their old places.
The company has not gt anted any con
cessions, and all who resumed work
did fio at the old terms.
Overtures were made for a settle
ment with the strikers, but they weic
not successful. "When notices were
posted that all who desired to return
to work could do so yesterday there
was a rush for the various places. Sev
eral of the more impulsive men who
still hold out, gathered at the entrance
to the mine property and caused a lit
tle trouble.
Several employes, amoiifr whom were
Alfred Payne and a man named Lynch,
were accused by their fellow work
men of aiding the company to secure
workmen to operate the mines, and
the two men were roughly handled by
some of the strikers. The trouble soon
subsided, however, and the trouble
some ones left the premises after the
colliery started up.
It is understood that the places of
those who yet remain Idle will be lllled
by others unless the men return to
work Monday morning.
Mr. Payne denied that he was guilty
ae accused, and asked The Tribune to
publish a statement to that effect.

Will It Be BuiltP
At last tho New York State Itall
rood, commissioners have granted pro
motors of the Delaware Valley &
Kingston Independent coaler the right
to construct the projected lino along
the bed of the old Delaware & Hudson
Canal from Lackawaxen, Pa., to
Kingston, N. Y. Much speculation Is
golng'on In coal trade elide., however,
r- to whether or not tho anthracite
combination's fight ends here.
It Is given out that President Fowler

strongest opponents of the new line,

bupremo court. This gentleman, it Is
understood, Is firm In the belief that
the decision of that body will reverse
tbe one rendered by the railroad com
missioners. In the Immediate future,
therefore, homo very Interesting things
ate likely to develop in connection with
the new line.
Public sentiment is strongly In favor
of its construction and operation. It
would shorten the distance between
the coal fields and tidewater at
Kingston, N. Y., to Si miles, thus en
abling coal to be laid down In the
markets at a cost much below that now
ruling, What does this mean? It
means that fuel can be sold to con
sumers at prices considerably lower
than those now prevailing. Little won
der, therefore, that sentiment gener
ally Is In favor of the new road. When
It Is borne In mind that tbe Delaware
Valley & Kingston, if built and In op.
oration, would get the bulk of the
Erie's coal traltle, thus placing the lat
ter road In a very bad way, the anthra
cite combination has vety good grounds
for Its light to pi event construction ot
the former.
That interests Identified with the
combination will continue their fight
there Is no doubt, but what will be
the outcome nobody can foretell.

Boring for Zinc.
Several Scranton capitalists have a
gang of sinkers at vvoik putting down
an eight by eight shaft on the edge
of a mountain spur two miles noith
of Kspy, Columbia county, and from
developments already apparent, ore
showing fifty per cent, of zinc will
soon be mined there.
George Watson, who was formerly
a foreman at the West Ridge colliery,
Is superintending the work of sinking.
The two Scranton men most largely In
terested In the enterprise nie Thomas
Sprague, formerly superintendent of
the Mt. Pleasant mine and Attorney
William D. Boyor.
Ravino Mine Purchased.
The Pennsylvania Coal company has
purchased from the Newton Coal com
pany the
lie Ravine mine at Pittston. The
;ratlon is said to be $50,000. The
consider
main shaft Is located on North Main
street In Pittston and another shaft
Is located on Parsonage street and
both were used in hoisting coal.
The new owners have not as yet
entirely perfected their plans, but It
is their Intention to mine coal as well
as to use the shaft for the purnose of
pumping water which accumulates in
Nos. 8, 9 and 10 shafts of the Pennsyi-

drained down to the Itavlne and
pumped out of the shaft.
The company has also purchased an
additional tract of land from J. E.
Patterson, whose land adjoins the Ra
ilne, and this will give the company
access to a large area ot coal and will
enable It to reach coal land nlready
held by It near the river.
It Is not the intention of the company
to hoist coal out ot the Ravine shaft,
but will have the coal from the Ravine
workings transferred underground to
No. 10 shaft and hoisted from thcio
to the breaker.
American Locomotives.
in a recent report to the state de
partment Consul Frank II. Mason at
Berlin, relates that trials and tests ot
the efficiency of American locomotives
are now taking place In Germ my.
"By reason of their great boiler
space and the extent of their heating
surface, American locomotives are
much more economical than those now
In use on German railways," writes
Mr. Mason. "It Is very evident, how
ever." continues Mr. Mason, "that like
other American machines that have
been tested by the German, the loco
motives have been brought over to
he studied and used as models to be
Imitated by German builders and that
no Idea of obtaining a supply of lo
comotives built In the United States
Is entertained for a moment. Though
not profitable to American builder,
still a sincere and flattering compli
ment Is bestowed in the acknowledg
ment of American superiority in tlm
respedt. It also illustrates thi; im
portance of protecting as far as pos
sible by German patents, every
American Invention or Improvement
sold for use In Germany,"

ber s thr acceptance of err tin oniMiiIimr.ti
which were made to the conittrMcn ly a com
mlttee appointed fur that puroi ll.c vlit of
the amendments Is that no perot, not . im tu
ber of the school In Rood Handing, will lu al
lowed to take part In any of the athletic con
test! participated In by any of the school teams.
Moreoicr, that when any person holding office
or poMtlon under the Athletic association dl
continues his connection with the school. It slll
be considered equivalent to his resignation.
J 'H ml pal Orsnt gste a .ery Interesting and In
rtnrVtlte talk as regards to the basis on whl li
the affairs of the foot ball team, especially,
should be controlled. He also stated that In a
few eek he would submit a plan !( the con
sideration of the association whereby the foot
ball team and all athletic sports flight be
carried on In a more business-IIWe manner. Pro.
fewnr ((rant's remarks received the hourly ap
plause of the members. The base ball nueition
was also discussed, and It was 6nally decided
to call out the plajers, organize a team and
accept the challenge Issued by Kej stone Void
emy lor Mav 1J on the Ac-idem ' grounds.
The Literary society held their meeting jes
tenia at the close of school, but with a much
smaller number of students present than at
tended last week. Whether the pro-Boer meet
ing had any effect upon the enthulasm of the
students Is not known, but It Is earnestly hoped
that It did not. Nevertheless erne very Impor
tant piece of business was transacted, which
ought, and no doubt will, ac a tendency to
increase the Interest of the students In the
literary society. The transaction was to the ef
fect that in the coming meeting a prize of a
book, coaling 1 will be gicn to any student
who, in the estimation of certain jppolnted
judges delivers the best extemporaneous speech.
This will undoubtedly be very Interesting and
cery tttidcnt who has any ability as an orator
should do his and her best to win the prize.
The one sad defect with jesterday's meeting
was the fact that the programme lommlttcc bad
no programme to present to the noddy, because
they were unable to (.ccure participants on ac
count of last week's i station.
The first practice of the lately organized base
ball team took plate esterday on the grounds
of No. .IS school. A large number of enthusi
atie students were on the grounds and plascd
with such vim and vigor as to plainly show that
the. High SchonJ will not be backward en the
field. Although some exceptionally fine pljlng
was done by a number of students, yet It will
be at least a few days before Captain Tropp will
be able to assign positions to the different play
ers. Manager Itann was on the field, and encour
aged the plj-ers not only by his presence, but
even cnt to far as to get into the game. It
is c.peoted that practicing will lake place on
the grounila previously stated every afternoon
and on Saturday morning..
