About Saml-Monthly Pay.
From llio present sliile of nrtiilin ev
erything sums to forecast the ptub
llsliliig of the semi-monthly myn "t
nil the local mines, on ami after .Tun
unry 1, 1900, UgsIiIps the rjelawnto una
Jluilson Hulliund company which posU
tlvoly announced that they will he
Bin this mode of piiyliiR with the new
year, a number of ttnmller eoniimnles
now innke the Htiituincnt Unit they,
too, will folow Ihn lend and Kiiinl the
miners' drninnds for the semi-monthly
visit' of the nnyiutiHtcr.
The New York, Ontario and Western
rnllrond and Drlnwure, l.itrkiiwitnim
and AS'estein lliilltoml eonnmnli'H niu
both conslderlnp the matter and It Ih
pmuthtlly decided that the new 111
rp.nBir.Pitt will ro Into eifi-cl. The de
mand nmonir the Ontario miners was
not unanimous at Hist, hut now tin
Brcat majority of the employes have
petitioned It and flenerul Superinten
dent of the foal Depailment llryileii
yesterday Rave the 1'olloWliiK (ixplalia
tlon to 11 Tribune limn i-ORiiMlinK the
state of nffalis:
"Ah yet no definite steji has been
taken but the question Is beltiK Riven
all due consideration. The mlneis nit:
lirnctlonlly URipeil In askhiR for It, and
I think that by January I. the eompatiy
will be In line with the utneis, In
RtantlnR the pays."
It Is undei stood that the l.ehlRh Val
ley ltallroad company starts the
Mini-monthly inethoil, dathiR from Ui"
cpinber 1, and the Temple Iron and
Coal company adopted this tirraiiKC
inent, already last month. It was de
clared effective November I, and the
first payment at the i-IrIu collleiles
operated by the company was for the
first fifteen days' wmK In the mines.
The Hillside Iron and Cusil company
will begin paying the men at Its elRht
oolllerlcs on the twice a month plan
during January, the Hist payment luk
Iiir place after lifteen days' work. This
is the first lime in the last twelve
years that the semi-monthly pay kvs
tein has been iimiU by the company.
About eleven or twelve years uro the
men demanded and weic ri anted the
sernl-monlhly wage system, but after
a short while lequested the namthly
rays.
Increases in the olllce slutYs of all the
companies will be necessitated by the
new method, as the arduous task of
pieparhiR the pay roll Is thus doubled.
New D. & H. Station.
Tt Is likely that the wmk of te.utnR
down the old "Weston mill bnlldliiR re
cently purchased by the Uelawsire and
Hudson Raihoad compuuy will be be
Riin next week, and preparations start
ed for the consti nctlon of the new
frelffht station, which the compaiiy in
ttnds locating on the site. "Work has
progressed rhpldiy during the two past
weeks In romovhiR the mill stock and
machinery and today and tomorrow
will complete the clearing of the bulld-
IllR.
The place has now been turned over
ti the Delaware and Hudson and a big
sIrii announces that the mill people
have transferred their headquarters
tn No. 12 Lackawanna avenue. Prac
tically all the larRcr niachlneiy of the
operating plant has now been removed,
and a biR My wheel is the only thing
which will cause considerable work In
moving. The slack and the largest
of the boileis have been retained by
the "Weston JUill company, but the
other boilers, shafting, etc., were sold
i y the railroad company as junk to
M illlam I?right, the North Seranton
carriage manufacturer.
A. D. Koberts, of Throop, had
marge of the hauling to North Scran
.on, A yoke of big, strong oxen were
two of his mainstays In the heavy
work, and the two powerful looking
animals presented a ratlur unwonted
spectacle standing so near the city's
busiest thoroughfare.
Joint Meeting of Railroaders.
'A meeting was held yesterday at
the New York, Ontario and "Western
railroad headquarters on "West Lacka
wanna avenue between several repre
sentatives of the companies and the
Central Railroad of New Jersey traf
1lc: departments to look over the move
ment of the freight and see If any Im
provements or changes were needed
in the present mode of handling this
traffic.
Division Freight Agent K. M, Sny
der, of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, came on from Mauuh Chunk to
attend the conference, and Contracting
Freight Agent W. K. Thayer, of the
Central railroad, joint agent for both
companies, II. H. Ashley, special agent
of, tho Ontario, II. If. Purdy, of Utlca,
N. Y., and Dlstiiot Passenger Agent
.1. 13. "Walsh, of tho Ontario, were the
others present.
Any ItnpiovemontK made as a result
of this mooting will be embodied In a
report' submitted to each company's
transportation departments,
Central May Bo Absorbed.
There are strong rumors afloat jlh.it
the Philadelphia and Reading Itail
load company authorlles are seeking
to secure 11 controlling Interest In the
Central ltallroad Company of New
Jersey, and on acquiring this to work
the two roads In harmony.
There has boon good buying of Cen
tral stock for several weeks past and
It was reported In "Wall street that
tho Baltimore and Ohio railroad was
after the loud, iu order to seeuio its
magnillcenl tei initials on the North
river. Moth companies have donleit
this mid now conies tho minor about
llio Philadelphia nnd Reading,
Tho Central road Is practically a
continuation of tho Philadelphia and
Reading from Round Ilrook to Jersey
City, and there seems little doubt but
thnt the Rending company would bo
willing to take over tho Central toad.
Tho company has twice before leased
tho Central company, the ilrst time
from May, iss:i until' 1SSG. in iwu the
Central was again leased, this tlmo for
n term of Will yearn, but hi August of
tho samo year, tho courts of New Jer

District Passenger Agent .1. S. Swlsh
pr yesterday disclaimed nny personal
knowledge of any negotiations between
th two companies.
"1 inn not In tho least acqunlnted
with the details of tiny iirnngeincnta
with the Philadelphia and Reading,"
he remarked, "but I think that some
arrangement will soon bo reached be
tween the two companies. The Phil
adelphia nnd Reading needs us, you
know, as they can't got Into New York
without our aid. The last agreement
made with them, should have stood, I
think."

A Good Offering Repeated:
Choice begins at a very little price for garments
that are worth considerably more. They are of
fresh, crisp taffetas in solid and changeable colors,
with deep accordeon plait ruffle the same quality
and style and at the same price as two previously
large lots that were eagerly bought the same day
tbey were announced $6.50 each, though $10.00
would be only fair. The assortment of other grades
is most extensive doubt that a better one is shown
anywhere. Every best style was gathered in every
pretty shade, and all the taffetas are thoroughly good,
whether the price be $0 50 or $25. Some very fine
petticoats are $8.00 and some are $10.00. Others at
$12.50, $13.50, on up to $25.
