Swesessful Outcome of Tests
Now Being Made Will Dis-|
pense With the Services of
Several Engine Crews
If efforts recently put forth by
the Lehigh Valley are successful
there will be a material reductiod
on the number of engine crews at
Hazelton. The officials of the
company are watching with ioter-
est the work of sevéral new heavy
eagines that are hauling trains up
the mountain at that place. The
engines are supposed to be cap
able of hauling nearly twice the load
that the ones formerly in use did
and recently several heavily loaded
trains have been pulled up the
mountain by one engine, whereas,
it formerly required two locomeo-
tives. The consumption of coal is
not much greater and when the
fact that the labor of a number of
men will be dispensed with, the
saving to the company can readily
be estimated.
Thanks to the Lehigh company
there are no idle men at Beaver
Meadows. Under the Coxe regi-
me there were several black-listed |
men at that place, but with the
transfer of the Coxe interests to the
Lehigh Valley company, the nar
row, Czar like, unchristian policy
~
and a more liberal and broad mind.
ed spirit has taken its place. That
which applies to the colliers at
Beaver Meadows applies in a like
manner to other colliers which |
formerly belonged to the Coxe!
property. The change in the atti
tude toward the men is much ap-
preciated by the latter, and in com-
mon with the rest of mankind they
will have something to rejoice over
at the approaching Christmas time.
WAS A MIRTH PROVOKER
The Loomis opera house was
filled from dome to pit last night,
and it was one of the most en-
thusiastic and well pleased audi-
ences of the season. Simple Si-
mon Simple, a musical comedy
creation, built to furnish laughter
for the multitude, filled the bill to a
point beyond adverse cnticism.
The company is by far the best of
its kind that has been seen in this
valley in many moons. Three
excellent commedians furnished
merriment and the musical num-
bers were way above the average.
The work of the soloists was of a
high character and the chorus com-
pletely filled the house. The cre-
ation is absolutely without rhyme
or reason, but as a mirth provoker
it is the real thing. The company
was a large one and carried a fine
lot of scenery and the wardrobes
were magnificent. Among the
lovers of musical comedy the show
is gaining an excellent reputation
all along the line, and it deserves it.
STILL COMING T0 SAYRE
During the month of November
Sayre's population was materially
increased by the arrival of several
families, the heads of which have
secured employment in the new
ghops. The present month has
also witnessed the coming of new
faces and the faces of the real
estate men who rent dwellings
wear an anxious look. At the
present time there is a decided
scarcity of houses and the indi-
cations are that the condition will
grow worse instead of better.
Many of the newcomers are said to
come from the farming country,
having been attracted by the in-
ducements offered by the Lehigh
for work in this place.

Late yesterday afternoon Charles
Drew, a resident of Atheas, who is
employed in the new Lehigh Val-

hospital suffering from internal
burns received by inhaling a quan-

pit underneat an engine. Drew was
engaged in repairing the fire box
of the engine when a fellow work-
man who did not know that Drew
was in the pit, turned on a cock

steam to escape. Drew managed

that three men had been scalded
in the power house and that two of
them were in a critical condition. |
