Superintendent Haileman of the Le high Valley Urges Engineers to Use Gi eater Care and Vigilance The D.( L. A: W. for Today Gen eral Fall in the Pi ice of Iron Con tinues Movement on Foot to Or ganize Telephone Company in Susquehanna Valley. Thro Is fiomo reason for calling the nrailtct dull, He-cording to dealers, al though the movement of coal Is good nnd the tjuuntity taken by consumers Is fully tin to, or rather above, that usual tit this season. This Is especially tho cams with the steam slzts. Other wise the trade condition docs not dif fer from tho uveinjjo In July. A Ktntoment which f-eems pretty well supported, though olllcnr.s of the companion refuse to alllnn or deny Its corrf-rtnce.H, puts the production of an thrailto in Juiif at -i.fOSWi) tons, and for tho llrst half or tho year at 2.', 471,r.'.';! tens; which in 1.773,401 tons more thnn last year. The market norms to have iibsoibul this excess fairly well, for we do not hear of oxcesslvu atockn anywhere, and the tnlk of restricting July production has not resulted In any definite action. Some of the companies, however, are shortening time In th collieries. The lnovinu-iit of coal to the west contln'i"S good and Chicago reports show that coal Is b-lng bought more freely under the expectation that tho higher prices will bo enfoiced before long. Coal In the east continues to bo sold nt about the came rates as last month and the Increase of twenty-live cents Is still considered only as a notice ot what will b? aski d for the fall trade. Enclncorinx and Mining Journal. Careless Engincmcn. A' notico signed by Superintendent (Inrlemnn has been posted along the Lehigh Vnlle. system calling attention o tho e'arelcspness of englnenien who jass signals display d at danser. Tho notice nays that an engineer has been dismissed from tho f-orico for the of fense. Anion:; other things tho notice says: "A careful Investigation has developed the lact lh.it Mime of our engincmcn are acquiring the veiy careless as well ns dangerous habit of passing a Hall Hlgii.il jit danger without stopping-, simply bocMibo they think they know why the signal Is In that position." Another notice, kU'ikiI by the same oflicl.il, cautions tho engineers to cxr clso the greatest possible care in pass lng grain fields, so that flre.s may not be stinted from sparks fiom the loco motives.

Improvements at Avoca. The Improvements that are being made on tho Erie and Wyoming Val ley yaids at Avoca are rapldy pro gressing and people who visited that section n few weeks ngo would not recognize tint legion, so rapidly have hills, hollows, shrubbery and trees been icmoved. In their places are to be seen dynamos, water tanks, eleva tois and temporary trncks, I.athrop k.

About 4,000 feet of tre.stllng in many parts considerably elevnted Is being built. The tilling In of the huge depiesslons Is perhaps the most Interesting pait of the work and attracts hundreds of visitors every day. Huge banks of earth rapidly dis appear by means of Icrnhart's steam shovel, which removes about 2.oeo cubic yards of earth dally.

The Pennsylvania company hns or dered seveial new cars from the Pull man shops. The Allegheny Valley has ordered two engines from the llaldwln Loco motive works. 11 Is nnnounced that the Atchison, Topeka nnd Sante Pe will order twen ty new locomotives nt an early date.

The master bricklayers of the city voluntarily Increased the wages of their men on Saturday from 35 to 10 cents an hour. About a dozen employes of the Lack awanna Iron nnd Stel company left Saturday night to as.slsl In the work of electing the company's new plant. Grunt efforts were made last week to get the new phalr factory at Hall- stead eady for operation this morning. and while all the mnchlnery has not yet arilved, there Is enough to begin woik with.

Tho Erie road Is being grently Im proved under tho present ninnagement. Take the vicinity of Deposit, for ox nmple. The new block signal tower, the largest on the load, having seven teen levers, is one great improvement, all the HWltches being operntod from the tower. The two water tanks havo been repalicd and painted, the depot lias also been painted, the old, un sightly roundhouse has been torn down and now a large force of men are put ting In gravel ballast, now ties and In ninny places new rails were laid only a short time ago. D'iioslt Courier. The t'ftnernl fall In prices In Iron continues nnd buyers are still holding off fo far as time contract!- are con cerned and purchaslm; i nly for Immed iate needs. At the same time tho sit uation is no worse; In fact, It Is bo conilng apparent that there Is a great deal of business to be done, when peo ple are convinced that prices will go no lower. The strui tural steel makers met In New Voik on WedneFday nnd decided to make no change in prices. The recent reduction has brought out a good many or;lers and thero seems to bo no need for a further drop. Tin Htiutturiil business Is, In fact, In much better condition than any other section of th'j market. m bis TAMMANY CHIEFS FAILED TO COME PERFORMANCE HAD TO GO ON WITH UNDERSTUDIES. Saturday Night's Ratification Meet ing on the South Side Was Not the Large and Enthusiastic Affair It Was Intended to Make It Sulzer, Grady nnd Sullivan Disappointed the Committee at the Last Mo mentA. M. Goldberger and a Mr. Nichols Sent in Their Stead. What was Intended to be ''a large and enthusiastic" mass meeting to ratify the Kansas City nominations and plntfoim. was held at tho Or chard ground 1 on the South Side Sat urday night. An old-inshioned news paper of the opposltloi would hae found In the meeting tho Inspiration for a lot of fun. U was billed broadcas-t during the week that Hon. William Snlzer, the ex-vlc piesidc-ntial possibility; Hon. Thomas F. Grady, one of Tammany's leading orators, and Hon. T. J. Sulli van, alias "Dry Dollai," the noted M-nntor troin the bowery would come on fiom New York to assist In the unifying. U the last moment they disappointed the committee, and when the as-emblagi at th" grounds P-ained that they were in lor a performance with undei studies In the leading roles, they, too, expressed disappointment, mainly by refusing to enthuse at the pic-ented enthusiastic times. NOT COMMITTEE'S FAULT It was no fault of the committee, though, that the stars failed to ap pear. They were engaged by the Lacakwann.i delegation at Kansas city, and only last Friday C. G. lio land in a telephons communication with Tammany headquai ters received assuiances that they would be on hand. Mr. Eoland went to New York to escort the big chiefs hither and then learned for the first time that they ,vould not come. The Tammany malingers ngreed to get him ".some thing Just as good," however, and Mr. liolinl at noon found himself con veying Scrantonward Max Goldberger, Matthias Nichols and Ira Itaeder, tin ce leading young Tammanyltes fiom a wigwam down In the whole sale clothing district, who had nothing particular arrang"d for their half hol iday. Mr. Kaeder pot lost in the ciowd coming across the ferrv and was left. Ah to the other two some doubt was at (list expiesse-d as to their being ' something Just as good," ns the trio of topllneis originally billed. After the meeting, however, the doubt no longer existed. LIST OF SPEAKERS. It was nearly 9 o'clock when th meeting was gotten under wny by Chan man Edward Men Meld. On n large platfonn, illuminated with an arc light, sat the speakers and many of the i ounty's lending Democrats, among them Editor E. J. Linett, of the 'riir.es: Attorney P. W.

John Lulz, the Pittston wife-murderer, w ho was convicted of first de greu murder Mny 17 last, after the Jury had been out fifteen days, was granted a m w trial by Judge Hulsey, at Wilki'8-ltarro, Saturday. The possibility that the obstinate Juror, F. A. 11. Koons, of Huntington Mills, who held out so tenaciously against the other eleven, had come to a concurrence only or mainly through physical exhaustion, led Judge Halsey to grant tho new trial. Koons, It will bo remembered, would not ngreo to a first degree verdict be cause ho bolloved Lutz wna Insane when he committed tho deed. When tho written verdict had been rendered and tho Jury was being polled, Koons said: "I signed tho verdict against my consent, believing that tho man was Irresponsible when he" Judge Halsey cut him off here and bade him NHBGM&&TC&jZX)KiAKjBL. I WEKjBa2H)isjSiiKra declare his nndlns. The Juror again rUurted to explain, but nBaln the court Interrutiteel him with "What In your verdict. Mr Koons?" "Guilty of mur der In the llrst JeRree," the Juror re lilled. TIip Judge repented It mid Mr. Konim assented. These c-lrruinstHneos, coupled with the fact that every reasonable doubt belonus to the defendant In n homlcld" case, prompted Judge Halsey to have the case re. tried. TO DISCUSS CURFEW ORDINANCE Grace Reformed Episcopal Church Will Consider Matter Tonight. Tho qujstlon as to whether or not a curfew oidlnanco should be passed by councils v.ill be dlpcussed nnd voted upon this evening by the city Christian EnJeavor union, which has had the matter under advisement for some time. The meeting will be held In Grico Reformed Episcopal church.

It Is understood that a strong senti ment In faor of the movement has lately been manifested In Christian Endeavor circles and the executive committee will undoubtedly be in structed at tonight's meeting to take the matter up and endeavor to secure the passage of the curfew ordinance by councils. These curfew ordinances have been ndopted by a number of small cities In the west, but all attempts to pass them In cities of any size have been fruitless. Nine o'clock Is the time limit generally fixed, beyond which children under a certain age, genernlly 11 years, will not be allowed on tho streets unless accompanied by their parents or some older person. The enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would, of course, fall upon the policemen, who would be obliged to arrest all children found after 0 o'clock. UP THE VALLEY CRUSADE.
