Combining the Offices. On May 1 the accounting and pur chasing departments of the Central Itallroad of New Jersey and the offices of the Lehigh and AVIlkes-Barre Coal company, tho latter operating all the collieries and coal properties connected with tho Jersey Central, are to be moved to this city, into quarters now being prepared for them in tho Read ing terminal in Philadelphia. Thus will be marked the culmination of a long Keries of events, beginning In January, 1001, when the Jersey Central was pur chased by the Reading, looking to a consolidation of the two big anthracite coal hauling and mining systems. Despite all statutes enacted and ef forts put forth to prevent the com bination of capital and the consolida tion of railroads in the anthracite coal industry, the economic laws forcing these very ends have worked them selves out Into organization, thus placing control of the Industry in a few hands. The bringing of the Jersey Cen tral departments to Philadelphia in the same building with the Reading will further enable these two systems, now conti oiling 33 per cent, of the produc tion of hard coal, to still closer organ ize and control the Industry for the ends they think best. The moving of these Jersey Central dpp.urtments from New York and Jersey city .will bring some 200 officers and clerks to Philadelphia. Jersey Central Trains. Since "VV. B. Besler assumed the gen eral management of tho Central Rail road of New Jersey there Is a notice able difference in the train service, and favorable comment is made In that re spect all along the line. The trains ar rive and depart on schedule time, and when delays are made the division superintendents are held accountable for them. There Is talk of the company putting on an additional train between Phila delphia and Scranton, to arrive here about noon, and leave about 6 o'clock arriving in Philadelphia about 10.30 o'clock. The Quaker City limited now leaves Scranton at 7.30 a. m., and ar rives at 10.30 p. in. 3., 1(, & iff. Board for Today.

Announcement to this effect was made yesterday in the following opin ion by President Judge Edwards: In Iter Complaint of the Taxable Citizens of the Uoroush of Dickson City to Vacate the Seats of the Xlembers of Council. The Act of 1S07, V. h. 8, provides that If a borodfth council tihall fail to orcanlzs for the transaction of business within ten days after the time flxpd by law for the organization, the court may declare the seats of tho delinquent council men vacant and appoint others In their (.'.cad. A petition w.11 picscntcd lo us by ten of the taxpajcrs and citizens of the borough of Dlckscn City alleging a failure to organize on the part of the borough council of tint borough. A nile was granted to show cau'e why the councllmcn should not be rcmoicd and a hearing was had before the three Judges. Before proceeding to a discussion of the cae, it Is proper for us to state that the court will not exercise the power tested in it by the act of assembly referred to without gMng the delin quent councilmen a talr ami full opportunity to comply with tho Jaw by organizing for tho tran saction o liuslnesa. On account of a misappre hension as to tlie status of the alleged board of fho, there has been no attempt to organize by tho eight councilmen whose title to their offices is unasailahle. These eight men have not at any time met together. It is their duty to meet and organize tho borough council. We propose to give them the opportunity before declaiing their seats vacant. We shall now discuss the facts of the case, as they were developed at the hcariiie;. HAS 3CI.NE MEMBERS. 1. The Dickson City borough council is com-po-ed of nine members. The terms of office of four of them expired last month. There were, therefore, four vacancies, five of the old council men holding over. There were only three coun cilmen elected last February, there beimr a tic vote in the First ward, between Reis and ltiley, for the fourth vacancy. Therefore, the borough. on the third of March, when the councllmcn met for piellmlnary organization, had eight legal councilmen. 2. At the iwelimlnary organization, on March "rd, the following councilmen were present: Lewis Richards Henry McOarrtly, John Kru chanck, Henry Hagcr and Cournd Snyder a ma jority of the whole council. The credentials of the new members were called for. It seems that the credentials of Conrad Reis, one of the "new member, were received without question. When .Steven Ueddoe's credentials were presented, ob jection was made because Beddoe was then a member of the board of health, an ofllj'e incom patible with that of councilman. Tho creden tials were rejected on this ground. This was the first mistake made by the council. The election of Beddoe as councilman, his acceptance of the office, his presentation of hla credentials and Ida cxpicssed desire to be sworn ni such council man, was, in effect, an abandonment by him of ids position as member of the board of health. The council should have allowed Beddoe to take his seat. The council then 'proceeded to com mit their second mistake, by rejecting the tic dentlals of J. G. llufnagcl. Mr. Hiifnagcl ex hibited his certiticate of election and his oath of ofice. Through a clerical error, the justice's jurat was dated March instead of February. Ob jection was made on this ground, and Mr. Huf nagcl's credentials were rejected. While there might hate been come reason for a misapprehen sion of the law In Ileddoe's case, theie rouid hare been none in Hufnagel's case. The refusal to iccognize Hufnagel's right to a seat was the baldest kind of cnor on the part of the council. The clerical mistake could hao been Immediate ly corrected, or the new member could hate been there and then sworn by tho burgess, who was present. HEFT TI1U MECTIXR. ' !5. Appirently Incensed by tho action of coun cil In rejecting the credentials of Beddoe and llufnagcl, two of the old members, Henry Ilajier and Conrad Snjdcr, left the council room and went outside of the building. It is on this point that there is a serious conflict in tho testimony. Many nitnevses testify bom wajs, but the judges who heard tho testimony agree that the weight of the ctldencu sustains the toiitcnticn that linger nnd Snjder left the building' when tho credentials of Beddoe and llufnagcl were le jeeteil, and before anything cite was done nnd especially before thero was a permanent organ ization. The result was that there were only four councilmen left In the room, less than a majority and, of nmr&c, lets than a quotum. There four couiiillinen fhouhl tlun have ad journed until a quorum luuld lie secured. t. Instead of adjourning for a quorum, Uic femr councilmen proceeded to organizo permanently, and tilled tho acincy which had occurred In one of tho wards by reavin of u tie tote, by tlie ap pointment of M, Riley, If the appointment of Mr. lllley was valid, then the organization of the council was legal. We lire aware that a quo wairanto proceeding is the juuper method to determine title tu an otllce. Tills is true as a general rule. If ltiley had been appointed by a legal body bv a quorum of the council, tho portion would bo correct, lut n-i we Icw the matter, there was no body with power, in law, to appoint, if four men can iiamo .1 fifth In order to mako a quorum and secure an oiganlza. tlon, then one man can apjiotut four to aecum. plih the same purpose, 'iho dllileulty In the pieunt ca&u is tint there was jm quorum, and therefore no talid appointment to fill tho ta caucy; tnd, therefore, further, there was no or. ganlzitlon of the boiuugh council, 6. Hating reached the conclusion that there lias been no organization of the borough roum'll in Dlrkion City borough, tho ncU step will lo to declare tho teats of tho councibneu vacant and to uppolnt a new council. Wo (.-hall not make such an order now. We propose to gtie tho eight councllmcn an oppoitunlly to meet and organlc the council. After they hate met and organized! they can nil lite vacancy, Uiileu we are Inlonned that an crtranhutlon has been I effected, in accordance with thla suggest on. n i shall make a final order in the case on Monday.

Way uinelals of any Intirrst on the part of that road in the ruttletnrnt had lelt room for nil torn of iiimurs of ixwlblr further complications which It was thought dolMlilc, apparently to check. Iiulsvlllo mid .Vashtllle stock also rallied strong ly to 3 otcr last nlght'd closing alter tho state ment appeared. It was regarded ns a flrlklmj demonstration of the wrurr hold of the specula the sltuitlon which his been obtained by the group of western millionaires now the leader of the market that they should have been able to keep tip the show of Mrtnglh in the market In face of reactionary tendency In Southern rail way nnd n number of othei unfavoiable factort. As a matter ut fact extreme animation and broadening show of strength were the features ol the maiket, bearing ctery resembianie to pre tlous gnat bull maikcls. The Irregularity due lo netlti' prollt-taklng going on hlo bv sldetwIUi new buying was also hi evidence, inarklmr the di version of speculative proilts from one, gioup ol 6tocU Into another. The coalers wera the most conspicuously stiong slocks today led by Ilcadlnj which was' (If nit In un an enormous scale even after allowing for the rcckoi.ms in half shares or the par value of $M. Reports were clrcuhtel that a secret airrcement bail been rear lied avert ing the possibility of a coal miners' strike. Heavy bu.lng crdciH for the Holdings nnd Erics came irom London ami tlie impression was tonvi-jcu that these were iluo to Mr. Morgan's presence there. The Coalers all suffered from proflt-Hk-Ing towards the lust and the leadership of the market was shifted to Atchhon, which rose sub ilenly to 81, followed by Colorado Fuel nnd Louis vile. The explanation of tho buying of Atchison was not forthcoming but the stock lias not Mnrnl In the recent advances among the Grangers, nnd Southwestern, which were all somewhat affected by realizing today. Intertwined with these dom inant tnou'menls were many cross currents among minor stoeks, some declining but all duo to mm Individual causei or to operations by tpeculatlve pools. The rather decided action of the grain market rellcctlng misgivings over the weather con ditions for the erops was quite Ignored in th5 trading. The reduction of the Amalgamated Cop per dividend which has been looked forward to with apprehension for a long time, was totally Ignored and that stuck Itself was run up after the announcement of the dividend to nearly a point above last night after hating fallen 1.

In a few days we'll be in ship-shape. Beautiful Wraps for Women Jackets $7.50 to $22.50 All-Over Wraps $15.00 to ,?67.50 Part of them were made in Germany because the tailoring there is so fine. Tha American makers are fine on plain styles, and we avoid the duty when we buy from them so that the Eton Jackets and Covert Cloth Jackets are American. The Covert Cloth Jackets will be more worn than almost any of the others. We have a very rjood one for $7.50. Eton Jackets of broadcloth for $10, of black cheviot for $7.50 up to $13.50, and from $10 up they are lined with silk. The Long Taffeta Coats at $15, with the sailor collars trimmed with lace, have tho Paquin sleeve. At $20 the silk is better, aud there is a little bit more 'work. At $35 the silk and lace and the making are all better. It's going to be a great tau-covert year' thbugh long taffeta coats will be "nearly as popular. v Women's Tailor-Made Suits $10, $13.50, $18, $20 and $25 How a tailor can get London Twine, cut and work and press a suit into good style, have it finished mcely for $10, is a mystery. Yet here the suits are, and suits of cheviot, besides, if you prefer them, for the same price. The present stylei cost a great deal to make: there are fancy touches, and the cloths are much more difficult to make suits of than the heavier, which have been gener ally used before. So $10 buys a better suit now than it did a year ago. The tailoring isn't extraordinarv until you reach $20. At $23 it is good good enough for anybody probably as good as a tailor would put into a $35 suit if he made it to order. At $25 the tailor word is really fine, and above that the cost goes more into the material and the faucy trimmings than into anything else. Women's Stockings and Underwear Novelties here are what the word means- new, not last year's novelties carried over, luis year we have more than ever we uave more satisfy. Let's see what 50 cents will buy: Women's Stockings, 50c Open-work boot and all.over design in black lisle some 30 styles. Red, blue and tan lisle, with open-work boot. Black lisle with open-work boot and embroidery. Black, blue and red lisle with silk clocks. Black lisle with silk embroidered instep.
