COXE AND THE P. A R.
Eckley B. Says Their Relations
Are Not Strained.
HK TALKS AT PHH.ADEI.rHIA AND
TELLS THE NEWSPAPERS THAT HE
IS SATISFIED—SOMEONE MAY POS
SIBLY GET FOOTED.
The statement made in the TUIBIJNE
last week that the relations existing be
tween Coxe Bros. & Co. and the Read
ing combine had become strained is now
explicitly denied by E. B. Ely, the New
York agent of the Drifton operators,
and also by Hon. Eckley- B. Coxe.
In conversation on Monday with the
New York correspondent of the Phila
delphia ledger Mr. Ely is reported to
have said: "The story is made out of the
whole cloth. We are not conducting
negotiations with the Pennsylvania road
with a view to shipping over its line.
We have not been denied adequate trans
portation facilities. We are not going to
break our contract with the Reading.
We are not going to make an alliance
with the Pennsylvania to break the
Reading deal."
Eckley B. Coxe spent the greater
portion of the week in Philadelphia, and
was interviewed by reporters from nearly
every paper in the city. He assured
them all that there was no foundation
for the rumors concerning bis opposition
toward the Reading management and
claimed there were no differences what
ever between President McLeod and
himself. He also stated that his firm
did not intend to divert its coal trade
from the Reading. From his remarks it
seemed that Mr. Coxe really felt grieved
to think that anyone should insinuate
that the combine and the firm are not as
happy as a pair of little kittens. But
Eckley B.'s free and easy way of talking
has fooled Philadelphia reporters on
several occasions, and the papers that so
loudly denounced the rumors as false
may be singing another song when the
head of the largest mining firm in the
world has completed all the plans and
projects he has in view. Coxe Bros. &
Co. do not advertise their intentions,
and it would not he policy for the mem
bers of the company or its agents to
verify a report of the rumored break
with the Reading.
Our informant, as stated, was "a
gentleman who holds an important posi
tion under Coxe Bros. & Co." hut neither
he nor the TRIBUNE claimed the firm
was conducting negotiations with the
Pennsylvania, and when he was shown
Mr. Rly's and Mr. Coxe's remarks he
reiterated his former statement that
there IIAI> been a break in the relations
of the two corporations. As to Coxe
Bros. & Co. breaking their contract with
the Reading he disclaimed all knowledge,
hut ho was positive of his views regard
ing the other matter.
A representative of the TIHBUNE was
informed in Hazleton on Tuesday that
the Pennsy would be carrying coal for
Coxe Bros. & Co. within a very short
while, but the report could not he traced
to any authentic source. The employes
of the D. 8. & S. are not aware of any
such arrangements, but the rumors of
contemplated changes are Hyinj> about
thick and fast at present, notwithstand
ing the sweeping denials made by the
head of the firm and his principal agent.
This much is certain, however, that if
Coxe Bros. & Co. desert the Reading
they will be followed lip more than one
coal operator of this vieinity, and as soon
as the Prifton people transfer a greater
portion of their tonnage to the Pennsy
just that soon will this part of the an
thracite region he relieved from the
monopoly now controlling it. The Le
high region is too rich a field in coal,
freight and passenger traffic to be the
meek slave of McLeod and his illegal
combination.
Views of the Coal Trade "Journal"
It must lie evident to even the most
casual reader of the reports of the ac
tions and methods of the managers of
the "new deal" in anthracite that they
are sharp business men, intent on getting
out of the business they are engaged in
every cent which can he had. They are
by no means philanthropists and we do
not know that they are posing as such to
any extent. In order to attain the end
in view stoppages of production are
ordered for a certain number of daya
each week; they also marked up the
prices of coal ill certain markets; there
are economies practiced of every nature
and description in the way of discharges
of employes of the various grades in the
several branches.
All this is, of course, with but one
intention, and those who buy coal for
consumption or to retain will do well to
carefully watch the several moves which
are being made. The price of anthracite
coal is to be higher than has been the
case for some time past.
The leasing of collieries by the parties
to the new deal so as to secure the out
put of certain individual operators for a
term of years gives some security to the
new powers that be against the cutting
of rates, and it also quiets the individual
on the question as to what is a fair and
equitable rate of toll to be charged for
tarrying anthracite coal.
With an average price hut ten cents a
ton better than was the result of the
price received for the sales at the tide
during the last six months of 1891
coal, the result to the acquiescing oper
ator by the terms offered and agreed
upon would be forty cents a ton more
than he obtained previously, as the tolls
on the percentage plan are far less than
the old fixed rate. There is an immense
profit, however, under the new deal on
the whole traffic, so that the chances for
- earning the increased dividends are
much improved.
A Columbia County Girl's Troubles.
On Saturday a young woman was sen
tenced to imprisonment for life in New
York City, after being convicted of the
murder of her husband. Her life was a
jieculiar one. At fifteen she was a quiet
little country girl, living with her father,
an Evangelican preacher, at Espy, Col
umbia County. At twenty-two she stood
before a New York Judge to receive her
sentence of life imprisonment, and was
conceded by all to be the "prettiest and
wickedest woman ever arraigned in New
York." When she left her home in
Espy she went to Wilkes-Barre, but life
there was not gay enough for her and
she deserted Luzerne's county seat for
Philadelphia. Had she returned to her
father's house, as she was begged to do,
she would have fallen heir te $40,000
which her uncle promised to bequeath
to her. Annie preferred gaiety to wealth.
When she went to Philadelphia she
was barely seventeen years old. From
there she went to New York, and became
Mrs. Lew Marshall. Then last Septem
ber she and James Walden, the son of
Peter Walden, the well-known horse
man, went to Gloucester, N. J. to attend
the races. They were married that
month in Camden. Returning to New
York, jealousyarose between the husband
and his wife, and she shot him dead on
the night of October 30. Her trial for
murder has lust ended, and she will go
to prison in New York to remain there
the rest of her life.

Bays, declamations and reading.
Tli© Hun Was Speechless.
At No. 2 Drifton breaker on Tuesday
morning an accident occurred which
might have resulted seriously. The coal
from No. 1 slope is hoisted on the break
er with a "barney," and while the ear
was about going into the dump the rope
broke, letting both the car and the "bar
ney" descend with terrific speed. The
latter was a short distance ahead of the
car and dropped into its place without
doing much damage, but the car struck
the bridge at the mouth of the slope and
and went tumbling over the loaded cars
towaid the blacksmith shop, doing con
siderable damage and causing the break
er to cease work for the remainder of the
day. James Ferry, of town, was fortu
nately paying close attention to his duty
and reached a place of Bafety when he
heard them coming from the top of the
breaker. The Hun who tends the "bar
ney" also escaped, hut the shock fright
ened him so badly that he was speech
less for a quarter of an hour.
Murrled on Saturday Evening.
At 8 o'clock Saturday evening Willintu
T. Williams, of Slatington, and Miss

ton, of Kingston. Richard Williams, of
Slatington, and Miss Mary Walters, a
sister of the bride, acted as groomsman
and bridesmaid. After the ceremony the
invited guests, nearly seventy in number,
congratulated the young people and
spent the remainder of the evening
listening to songs and addresses. Before
the company dispersed a pleasant repast
was partaken of. A number of friends
from Lehigh and Lackawanna Counties
were present.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1892.
ALL FOR THE LIGHT
More Stock and More Interest
in the New Company.
LOOKING FOB A BITK THAT WILL
BE CONVENIENT TO WATER AND
FUEL FOB THE PLANT—THE OLD
COMPANY REMOVING ITS STOCK.
The members and stockholders of the
new electric light company continue to
push the project with unabated vigor.
At the meeting on Monday evening a
committee wns appointed to see Messrs.
Birkbeck, Markle and Coxe for the
purpose of buying land that would he
suitable for a site. The company wishes
to have the building convenient to the
railroad, in order to avoid the necessity
of hauling fuel any considerable distance,
and also where water can be procured
as cheaply as possible. The amount of
stock subscribed has now reached $12,-
100, and the books are still open for
additional subscriptions. There is no
difficulty in disposing of shares, hut the
organizers wish to give all a fair
opportunity to procure some, thus
making the company one in which every
citizen can take an interest.
A communication was read at the
meeting from the Thompson-Houston
Company, of Philadelphia. This firm
has one of the best systems of lighting,
and offers to erect a satisfactory building
and put in a first-class plant for $17,515.
The offer, together with several other
communication regarding macliinery,
etc., was laid over.
The Freeland Gas Company, the name
under which business was done by the
former electric light company, began on
Tuesday to remove some of its machin
ery and material Irom the building on
Washington Street. This was a venture
that cost money, and the parties compos
ing the company will certainly profit by
their experience in the electric business
here. 'I hey made several ineffectual at
tempts to sell their plant to the new
company, but the latter does not propose
to deal in old tin or anything of that
sort. They intend to give the business
men and people here a light and service
that will not only he a credit to them
selves, but also a credit to the town.
The company is not making any rash
promises that it will have electric lights
here next week or next month, but it is
moving along quielly and laying for it-
Belf a foundation that will he solid and
worth standing upon. The conservatism
of the members, who are counting upon
the cost of everything before taking any
decided action, is a good point in their
favor.
There are certain drawbacks regarding
the site for the plant, which, if over
come, will result in an immense saving
to the company, and it is expected that
these will be removed soon. The gen
tlemen interested in the matter are
known to have the welfare of the town
at heart, and they may be relied upon
to overcome any difficulties which will
come in the way of progress. It is ex
pected that the company will he in
readiness to commence work within a
few weeks, and when once started it
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
The rates will be made as reasonable as
can he afforded, and it is hoped that
every business place in town will he
illuminated with the electric light.
When this improvement is made Free
land will again take its place as the
leader of the coal region towns.
Gild Fellows' Celebration.
Hazleton acquitted itself creditably on
Tuesday, the occasion of the parade of
the Odd Fellows of this district, and the
order did nobly for the town where it
held its annual celebration. Over 2000
men paraded to the music of fifteen
hands, and made as handsome a display
as has been seen there for some time.
The town was decorated with admirable
taste and at great expense, the two arches
and monuments on Broad Street being
superior to many erected in larger cities
for greater demonstrations. The citizens
took an unusual interest in beautifying
their town, and the result wns most
gratifying to people who are accustomed
to viewing Hazleton on a "big day."
Mt. Horeb and Drifton Lodges made a
good appearance in line, and the P. O. S.
of A. Band, although it hnd such famous
organizations as the Ninth Regiment and
Third Brigade Bands to contend with,
played in a manner that reflected credit
upon the town where it came from. It
was frequently applauded along the route
of parade.
1,. E. Klutz's Tragic Deatli.
L. E. Klotz, son of ex-Congressman
Robert Klotz, of Mauch Chunk, met
with a tragic end last Sunday evening
near the hotel at Glen Onoko. He spent
the evening at the hotel and Btarted for
Mauch Chunk at 9 o'clock hy the way of
the mountain in the rear of the hotel.
After leaving the hotel a short distance
he slipped, fell, and rolled down tho
mountain side several hundred feet.
He was instantly killed. The deceased
was 42 years of age. lie graduated from
Lehigh University in 1872 in civil en
gineering. After following the profes
sion for several years he made a tour
through Europe and after his return en
tered the hanking business with his
father.
Among Railroad Men.
In respone to a petition forwarded to
the Reading officials by some conductors
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad asking
for an increase of wages, a notice was
received Saturday afternoon announcing
that their request had been granted, and
that commencing May 1, their pay would
lie $3.25 for every day they worked. So
many hours w II constitute a days work,
and all over that number is to be paid
for extra. The increase will amount
from $5 to $lO per month. Under the
old aystem a conductor was paid $75 per
month the first year, SBO the second year
and S9O the third year. They were com
pelled to work Sundays, hut were en-
titled to three days' vacation each month
without loss of pay.
The uniformed employes of the Le
high Valley will don their summer uni
formson May 15. The summer uniforms
will be the same as those worn on the
Philadelphia & Reading. A number of
Valley men have suits too good to be dis
carded, which would be necessary under
the order from Supt. Goodwin. Some
of them who wrote to Mr. Goodwin con
cerning the matter received a reply that
uniforms which would pass inspection
could be worn this summer, but the or
naments and buttons must be changed.
The P. & R. button will be used.
The I'ennKylvania Railroad.
"When will the Pennsy come to
town?" This is heard at every corner,
while the questioners stand quietly
taking it out in wishing. Gentlemen,
you'll never get it, or anything else, by
wishing and inactivity. It is stated that
this road will enter Allentown by a line
already projected from Reading to
Belvidere. "How was it ensured?"
\\ hy, by a live board of trade, which is
representative of the business interests
of the eitv. They presented a petition,
offered a location and promised, should
it be desired, to subscribe liberally to
the stock for the proposed extension.
Freeland so far has made no effort.

THE GRUMBLER.
Oil bury the grumbler out in the
woods, in n beautiful hole in the ground,
where the bumble bee bumbles, and the
woodpecker pecks, and the Btraddle-bug
straddles around. He is no good to the
borough of push, too ignoble, stingy and
dead, but he wants the whole earth and
part of the crust, and the stars that
shine overhead. Then hurry him off to
the humble bee's roost, and bury him
deep in the gound, he's no use to us
here, get him out of the way, and make
room for a man that is sound.
ELECTRICITY.
He Will Die In I'eace.
William McCormack, from beyond the
mountains, was in the city yesterday,
says the Wilkes-Barre NevtdeaUr. He
is 92 years of age and declares that he'll
never die until a Democratic President
is elected, as he is adverse to shuffling
off this mortal coil under a Republican
administration. Age seems to have
ripened his humor, and he is as enter
taining a man as one is apt to meet. "I
voted the Repudliean ticket once," said
Mr. McCormack, "that was in '4B, and
when I went home my own dog snapped
at me, the horse kicked at me and my
wife made me wear my coat inside out.
I said then I'd never vote for a Repub
lican again, and I never will." By this
time next year we'll have a Democratic
President and Mr. McCormack will die
in peace.
Auditor*! Still at Work.
The auditors of Foster Township are
going over the orders of supervisors from
the date of the last marshalling up to
the present time, owing to some errors
they have discovered in the amount of
outstanding orders. This will save the
expense of another marshalling, and, be
sides, straighten out all the accounts of
the roads, so that the taxpayers will
know exactly how the township stands.
A marshalling costs from $l5O to S3OO.
