The Coal Trade.
The anthracite coal trade Is quiet. The line
and city business continues to absorb most all
of tho newly mined coal that is being for
warded from tho breakers, but the tldo water
trado is very dull. All of tho mining and
carrying companies continue to rigidly
restrict tho output of coal, and this is working
tho markets for anthracite into a more stable
condition and consequently prices are being
well maintained to tho July circular figures.
Tho Reading this week will work its collierios
only about threo days and on three-quarter
time. Wo are informed that tho Pennsyl
vauia railroad and tho Lehigh Valley rail
road aro both moving all of their now output
and at satisfactory prices.

The election opAiM this morning with all
the spirit that wai "nclpated and it was
plain from the start that the Democrats had
resolved to win th Jijay by any means within
reach, be they fair, er fouh This spirit was
manifested in severs! places, but more proro-
inently in the FourtJ
waru, where the Be-
pn M loan overseer ah
ilnted by the court was
by a daring act that
stripped of htopowi
uiiulienges tho cour
0 of the law abiding
cltbseus nnd the atitoority of the court.
The facts of the ohm are these : Yesterday
Judge Bechtel appointed George Hares, Re
publican, aud Thotoas Mauley, Demoorat,
overseers for tho Fourth ward poll. The
credentials were pUced iu the hands of
Curl Coogan for delivery to tho proper
otllcials in this town. Coogan announced
that, to be fair with, everybody, he would de
liver tho credential to the Judgoof Election.
as the names of both overseers were upon
one oeruncate. This morning Overseer Hares
challenged a vote and was himself challenged
for his credentials. Application was made to
the Judgo of Election forthom, buthe denied
that they were in his possession. Mr. Coogan
was called upon and ho declared that tho
Judgo of tho poll did have them. This led
I.. ...1.1.,. ic. n
'" "" -"DHfct.l.UM, IU VYJIIVU iUr. IsOUJjUIl
joined, and resulted in locating the papers iu
the hands of Frank Hanna, tho secretary of
the School BoanJ, who has figured so
prominently of 14o as a champion of
morality and Justl. It was learned from
Mr. Mauley that im credentials were handed
to him by Mr. IlSuna, hut he declined to
serve and handed the certificate back to Mr.
Hanna, who states that as Mr. Manley had de
clined to serve he threw the document away
because he considered that if the Democrats
had no ovorseer the Eepublicans could uot
have one and the paper was worthless.
From current comments in tha case it is to
bo expected that Mr. Hauna will he given an
opportunity totelUBiis excuse to tho court.
He has fallooBbetweeu one of two benches.
Tho certificate of Appointment of overseers
is not llko a whtobeVs certificate. Tho latter
is a paper iss'ued by the County Comrais
sionors, while an overseor's certificate is an
order of the court and to destroy such an
order and provens'Its operation is at least
contempt of ootirt. If Mr. Hanna did uot
destroy tho paper, hut Withhold it to that
Mr. Hares could hot fill his position, then
ho has violated tho election laws just as
much osanyono who drives an overseer from
tho polls.
Tho voting at all the polls continued verv
spirited during the morning and tho records
show that tho vntHfl'nnllntl lfi, in nnn
liour oxcccdcd tho number polled up to tho
same nour last year. Tho returns at noon
to-duy were: First ward. 251 : Second. 140 :
Third, 203; Fourth, 107 j Fifth, 233. At tho
samo hour last year tho returns .wore: First
ward, 110; Second, 83; Third, 144; Fourth,
123 ; Fifth, 157.
The voting to-day was remarkable, con
sidering that all the collieries were kept iu
operation up to noon.
Reports from all wards up to three o'clock
this afteruoou were to tho effect that no dis
turbances of a serious character had oocurred
at any of the polls, although at times somo
leellng was aroused by challenges. There
were more of them this morning than ever
known in tho history of the town and many
people who have beon prominent and influ
ential residonts of town for over 20 years
woro challenged for tax receipts and natur
alization papers. This, very naturally, lead
to oschange of remarks, hut nothing moro.
At tho hour the IImuald went to press tho
spirit of tho election was at high pitch and a
heavy polling of votes wus looked for in all
quarters.
The Republican committeo pulled itsolf
together this morning and by noon succeeded
in obtaining from Judgo Bechtel a duplicate
order for the appointmont of Gcorgo Hares
as overseer at the Fourth ward poll and Mr.
Haros losumed his post at ono o'olook this
afteruoou.

Sugrar Treasurer Searles Again Before
the Lexow Committee.
TO PURCHASE ANOTHER REFINERY.
The Camden Rsfinery May be A esquired by
the Big Trust Tho Trust Directors to
be Subpoenaed Mr. Searles De
clares Investigations Injuri
ous to Business.
New York, Feb. 16. John E. Searles,
secretary and treasurer of the Ameri
can Sugar Refining; company, was the
principal witness before the joint leg
islative committee on trusts yesterday.
He testified that sugar consolidation
was for the sake of economy In pro
duction. He said that 12 refineries
were closed In 1836, and that his' com
pany was contemplating the purchase
of the United States Sugar Refining
company In Camden, N. J., altlioogh
GO per cent ot the company's refineries
were not now in use. Witness said it
was oorrect that the acquisition by the
company of additional factories tended
in the direction of crippling competi
tion on the sugar market.
In response td further questions Mr.
Searles admitted that the company
had recapitalised the stock from $7,000,
000 to $60,000,000 and increased thp own
ership by 3,000. Witness said the rea
son the public did not get a chance to
buy stocks was because the corpora
tion was owned by private gentlemen
before the consolidation.
Mr. Searles denied having any ar
rangement with individual wholesale
grocers, but admitted having an agree
ment with the factors east of the Mis
souri in relation to the rates of freights
within certain specific limits. He most
positively asserted that the American
Suffar Refining company had nothing
to do with the prices formulated by
any other sugar refining company In
the United States.
Mr. Searles declared he could not
produce' the minute book of the sugar
trust, raying:
e directors decline to permit me
to present thein here. I have no power
In the matter."
Senator Lexow announced that the
whole board of directors would be
subpoenaed to answer and produoe
the book.
In answer to the question: "Is the
Increase of large corporations a dis
advantage to the worklngman?" Mr.
Searles said:
"No, sir. If we had less legislation
we would be far better off. If you
make laws that will Invite capital
to this state, Instead of driving It
away, It would be an advantage. But
so long as Investigations like this are
fomented It makes capital unsafe and
uncertain, and makes it act on the de
fensive,. as though it were the enemy
of the worklngman. There Is a law
far higher than the legislature of the
stato of New York, the law of supply
and demand, and which controls all
these things, which no trust, however
big, is able to control."
In reply to another question Mr..
Searles gave It as his opinion that it
was unfair to probe into the minor
workings of any legitimate buslnese
and have It paraded before the public
Mr. Searles, In reply to Assembly
man Warner, said that sugar was
within the reach of the consumer at aa
low a price today as it had ever been.
Mr. Searles promised to produce to
day the figures of profits for the five
years preceding and succeeding tho
formation of the trust.
