WHAT THE SCRIBES SEE AND HEAR
Th3 Pennsylvania Railroad Tracks
Did Not go Down Yesterday.
Trains Running as Usual.
Firo Last Night.
PottsviUo paper, upon authority of their
local correspondents, last night exggo:aled
tho condition of tho Pennsylvania railroad,
between town and Wiggans station, and
cau cd the circulation of reports that un
necessarily alarmed tho friends of people
who passed over tho road during tho day.
One party who road an account of tho
inattor in one of tho county seat papers
condemned tho papor in round torms and
claimed that tho wife of a friend had bcon
prostrated by tho roport, her husband hav
ing left town over tho road in thn morning.
Thero vbs no cause for alarm, as the
Pennsylvania traits passed over tho lino
all day and reached their destinations on
schedule time, and they were running as
usual over tho road to day. Tho mine
workings under tho railroad in tho cut
midway between town and Wiggans had
commenced to settle, but tho plaoo is so flat
that the parlies in charge felt confident that
tho surface would bo carried down very
littlo, it any. But to nllay all fears watch
men wero placed insido the mine and on
the railroad on the surface. In justice to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company it
should bo stated that ample precautions
aro always made to guard against accidents
on tho line by reason of the caving in of
mino workings under its tracks nnd that
patrons will recoivo ample notice whenever
thero is any indication of danger.
A Million Friends.
A friend in need is a friend indeed, and
not less than ono million pcoplo have found
just such a friend in Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. If you have never used this Great
Cough Medicine, ono trial will convince
you that it has wonderful curativo powers
in all dieeasos of Throat, Chest and Lungs.

A MIDNIGHT ALARM.
A Blnzo on Main Btroot
This
Morning.
At about quarter to one o'clock this
morning tho fire bell sounded an alarm
'hnt summoned tho department to Hobbins'
building on South Main street. All the
companies responded promptly, but th'iy
reached thn scene none too soon. Tin
plaro wa formerly occupied by 0. T. Kice
tnd later by a dime museum Company. A
fow days ago it was rented bj a Mr.
Shapiras, who was having it altorcd and
repainto'd for tho purpose of establishing a
phsrrojey. Painters materials and cotton
y,asto wero thickly tcnt'ored about tho
placo and furnishid excellent material for
firo. Whon tho firemen onterod tho store
a lotof cotton waite under a counter had
alrfa'y boen consumed aud tho floor and
counter were burning fiercely. After hard
work tho flames went extinguished, but not
until a largo hole had bcon burned in tho
floor and tho counter partly consumed.
Tho origin of tho firo is a myste y. Mr.
Shapiras says ho locked the doors of the
placo and left it at six p. m. and thoro was
no moans by which anything could bo
ignltod. The firo was discovered in the
nick of time. A frame building, with a
good supply of paints, oils, cotton wiste,
and a stiff wind blowing, foreshadowed a
dangerous firo.

The rcsidonts ol Br wnsville, who ox
pectod the electric railway would pass
their doors, according to the original
plans ol tho company, are sorely disap
pointed. But this lifo is full of disappoint
ments and it is impossible to ploaso every
body. Tho routo adoptod by tho cimpany
is considered tho most Ilkoly to picas j the
majority of the people
Tho work of putting up polos and laying
tracks was commonced yestorday.

they como they are givon work grading
and digging holes fjr tho poles. It is ox
pectcd that boforo tho closo of tho wook
from threo to four hundred will bo at work
on tho road.
On the strength of what is being done
by tho electric company, several of c ur
citizens have pickod up courago and will
alter and improvo their properties to meet
the domands of business. Somo Coal
street properties havo already jumped in
prices. Railroads aro groat boomors.
It is understood tho olectrio cars will bo

Thor" is ro longer any doubt that tho
production f anthracite coal next yosr
vtll be on a d 11 -rent basis from tho prosont
combination. New York and Boston
ioUrnals spoko of tho Heading as a "lamo
log." Thoy snld that, as a mittor of fact,
.ho Reading had boen treated vory lib
erally in tho past, that it was idlo to think
ho othor raombors of tbo combination
would give it any moro tonnage and that
this settled tho matter, as tho Reading
nuld not do anything in the face of such
oosition. In tbo last six weeks a remark
able chingo ha oomo ovor the tono of ad-
vicos from Now York. Instead of bfing
callod a "lamo dog" tbo Reading Is now
poken of as tho "Colossus" of tho coal
trado.
No arrangement for next year will bo-
made until after tho first of tho yoar.
Thero is, howovor, no longor any doubt of
rearrangement. That Is concodod in
quarters wboio a change, is leist deslrql.
Tho Reading will havo moro tonnage
Possibly thoro will bo n coal war, but this
is very doubtful When tho talk of in
creased allotment for tho Reading began
thero wero loud threats that a coal war
would result. This threat failed as a hotter
understanding of Reading's physical and
financial condition has led to tho conclusion
that tho Reading is bolter able to stand a
coal war than any road in tho combination.
Tho Reading Company has J100.00O.00O
Invosled that is now unproductive Every
othor company pays largo dividends on its
stock after paying interest on tho bonds.
Tho Itoading owns ono-htlf the coal in tbo
ground. It has facilities to mine and mar
ket 13,000.000 tons por year. Last year it
minod 7,000,000, or littlo moro than half its.
capacity. ThU yoar, owing to tho hotter
condition of tho trado, it will mine about
9,000,000 tons, but this is only enough tn
enable it to pay fixed charges and loavo a
trifling surp'us. Noxt yoar 13,000,000 tons
could bo mined with littlo moro oxponEO,
and, as a result, every obligation of tho
Beading company, fixed and contingent
would bo paid and tbo stock would pay
six per cont. It has been often said ia
reply to this statement that it is only a.
theory that cannot bo carried out. Quito
tho contrary. It has beon demonstrated.
In October thocompany mined and shipped
and sold over 1,000,000 tons without troublo
and could have excoedod that amount.
This could bo dono every month in tho
year, as the collieries aro constantly being
improved. Hore, then, is a condition and
not a thoory.
There is another point to bo taken into
consideration. The anthracite production
this year will bo tho largest in history, and
the market has absorbed or is absorbing it
all. Had tho companies all kept faith and
maintained prices tho net profits to all
would havo been magnificent. Unfortu
nately, this has not.been dono at all times,
owing to tho jealousy and tho efforts of tho
othor companies to kcop the Reading's
percentage whoro it is, although on an
c.verage prices havo been reasonably well
maintained. Tho outlook for next yoar is
equally bright. If tho combination shall
give the Reading its just dues, evon if the.
concession is large, and all maintaiu prico&
tbo other companios will make the largest
profits in tbeir history, notwithstanding;
their concessions, and Reading stock will,
to use a slang phrase, be "out of sight."
The present management of tho Reading
has done what was not dcemod possiblo by
its bost friends or its worst enomios. Tho
property in a fow years has boon rehabili
tated, improvements bavo boen made in al
most every direction. Its earnings aro in
creasing, and its prospects aro tho brightest
it has had for twenty years.
