VOL. V. No. 47.
NOT A COAL COMBINE.
THAT IS THE DECLARATION OF LE
HIGH VALLEY MEN.
Answer of the Railroad Filed at Trenton
in the Celebrated Reading Case —The Al
leged Deal Was Not Made to Form a
Monopoly, They Say.
TRENTON, Nov. 29.—The officers of the
Easton anil Amboy Railroad company have
filed their answer in the Reading coal
combine case, denying all the principal
allegations of the state against that cor
poration. Charles Hartshore, who is the
vice president of both the Lehigh Valley
and the Easton and Amboy roads, swears
that under the lease of the Lehigh Valley
to the Reading no combination was entered
into concerning the selling or mining of
anthracite coal; that there was no purpose
to create a monopoly in the supply of coal,
or to give the Reading control over the out
put or piices. The coal companies in which
his roads are stockholders do not monopo
lize the production or sale of coal. Robert
11. Say re, the second vice president of the
Ijeliigh Valley; John R. Eanshawe, the
secretary, and A. W. Stedman, the chief
engineer of the same road, all submit sup
porting affidavits.
The Advance In Coal.
C. E. Henderson, the general manager of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company, in his affidavit denies that
there has been any scarcity of coaf by rea
son of the limitation in the supply thereof
mined in the months of August, Septem
ber and October. The advance in the price
of coal last spring was not in excess of
prices obtuined in periods of ordinary con
dition of coal trade. It is misleading, he
says, to compare the piices at present
charged with those quoted as obtained in
1890 and 181)1. The latter prices were those
quoted by certain operators only. The con
dition of the anthracite coal trade in those
years was altogether an abnormal one, due
to well known extraordinary circum
stances. General Manager Henderson de
nies that any combination was formed be
tween the coul companies, and also denies
that the meetings held in New York were
for the purpose of regulating the prices of
coal, or controlling the output or transpor
tation thereof.
They Fixed No Prices.
The meetings in question were attended
by coal producers and sales agents only.
They held consultations with respect to
the condition of the trade, but fixed no
prices. There was no organization and no
resolutions offered or passed or any other
action taken with a view to binding any
one with regard to the output or prices.
Each person attending these meetings was
left free to sell coal at prices fixed by him
self, or the principals he may have repre
sented.
John H. Jones, chief of the bureau of
anthracite coal statistics, gives figures in
his affidavit to show that there has been no
limitation in the supply of coal recently.
The supply in fact, he declares, has been
greater for the ten months of 1890 than
ever before, aggregating 34,571,850 tons—
an increase over the corresponding period
of 1801 of 1,839,042 tons. The shipment in
1892 is as great as during the same period
last year.
President McLeod Testifies.
PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 30.— At the congres
sional investigation of the Heading coal
deal PresidentMcLeod, of the Heading rail
rond system, was the first witness. He
stated that the demand for coal made prices
and he did not believe prices were other
wise influenced by the coal agents.
He was then asked, "Is it a part of youi
scheme, Mr. McLeod, to effect any furthei
advance in the price of coal}'"
Mr. McLeod replied, "We regulate out
business according to the conditions wt
find from month to month. We huve nc
intention of raising the price of coal foi
December, and we couldn't raise prices in
January if we wanted to."
He disclaimed any co-operation on hi*
part toward the election of Heading di
rectors in the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad, and said that the elec
tion had no connection with the Heading
Mr. McLeod further stated that if there
were no meetings to regulate the output ol
coal the smaller producers would be
crowded to the wall and the more power
ful would combine and raise the price ol
coal. Many producers who were on the
verge of bankruptcy were saved by the
Heading management. The coal business
had been conducted ut a loss and prices ar
no higher than they have been.
Mr. McLeod concluded that the Phila
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron com
pany had never paid a dividend and that
the Heading is not getting a reasonable
profit on the output of coal. "We want a
reasonable price," said he, "but we do not
propose to go so far as in any way to injur,.
our trade."
The Congressional Inquiry.
NEW YORK, NOV. 29.— The investigation
into the workings of the Heading coal
combine was continued in the Federal
buildirfg.
W. E. Street, of the Pennsylvania Coal
and Iron company, said that anthracite
coal was costing more money today than it
did in 1891. Some sizes—stove and chest
nut—were selling at an advance of fifty or
sixty cepts. Egg and grate were selling for a
trifle more, while lump and buckwheat, he
thought and "regretted to say," were not
up to last year's prices. He said that the
present high price was due to the fact that
the demund this year approached very neai
the output, notwithstanding the fact that
the output this year is 1,500,000 tons greater
than in 1891, the biggest year on record.
The Toledo "Weekly Blade."
The most popular and best known
weekly newspaper in this country is the
Toledo Blade. For more than twenty
years it has had a circulation of 100,000
to 200,000, going regularly into every
state and territory of the Union. From
fifteen to twenty-five tons of print paper
is consumed in each week's edition, and
it is regularly mailed to more than half
the postoflices in the United States.
It is a peculiar fact that the Blade is
the only weekly newspaper published
that has regular subscribers in all parts
of the United States. It is edited with
special reference to the wants ofall peo
in all sections. It is also made to in
terest every member of the family.
Besides all the news of the world, it has
serial and short stories, wit and humor,
poetry, campfire, farm, Sunday school
lessons, young folks, poultry, puzzles,
household, answers to correspondents
etc.
As a special feature for 1893, Robinson
Locke, editor and proprietor of the
Blade, has just sailed for Japan, and will
contribute a series of illustrated letters
on the manners and customs of that
peculiar country and its people.
These articles will be commenced
some time in February or March, and
will be worth to the readers of the Blade
many times the subscription price.
Every reader of this paper is invited to
send for a specimen copy. The publish
ers of the Blade would be glad to send a
specimen copy to every reader in this
country.
Subscription price of the Blade, one
dollar a year. Five dollars in cash will
be paid to any person sending in a small
club of subscribers. Write for agent's
terms, giving particulars. Address the
Blade, Toledo, Ohio.
Judge Connolly Dead.
John F. Connoly, one of the law
judges of Lackawanna county, died on
Tuesday afternoon after an illness of
four months. He had an attack of
pneumonia, from which he rallied, hut
carelessly went out one day and was
immediately prostrated again, cirrhosis
of the liver setting in.
His condition quickly became critical,
but he again rallied and would soon have
been able to he about had he not been
attacked with heart weakness on Sun
day night. From that hour he sank
rapidly.
Judge Connolly was horn in Scranton
in 1853 and was graduated from the law
school of Columbia college in 1873. He
was admitted to practice at the bar of
New York state at the general term.
Later he was admitted to the bar of
Lackawanna county, was elected district
attorney in 1883 and was promoted to
the bench in 1887. He had five years to
serve at the time of his death.
Judge Connolly was among the best
known of all the law judges in the state,
owing to his pronounced views with re
gard to the naturalization of citizens.
He refused to naturalize those who
could not speak the English language.
Want Labor Legislation.
It is said that the Knights of Labor
legislative convention will probably be
held in Ilarrishurg about the middle of
this month. It is proposed to frame a
bill to prevent the bringing into the
state of armed guards and to prohibit
the employment of such during labor
troubles. It is intended that this shall
be the death blow to Pinkertonism in
Pennsylvania, and the united influence
of all the labor organizations in the
state will be brought to bear ou legisla
tors to secure the the passage of the
bill.
The Knights of Labor will ask all the
other labor unions in the state to aid
them in securing the desired legislation,
since it is as much to their interest as it
is to that of the Knights.
Coal Land Sold.
The Thuron coal tract, situated about
two miles from Pottsville, was sold to
the Huron Coal Company, a party of
Scranton capitalists, forslos,ooo. There
are 140 acres in the tract and all of the
coal veins in the southern basin of the
anthracite coal region underlie it.
From examinations made by experts
in mining at least 5,000,000 tons of red
ash coal alone are in the tract, not taking
into consideration the white ash veins
which are said to contain 15,000,000 tons.
Wageit Going Down.
The rate of wages to be paid miners
employed at the Reading collieries in
the Schuylkill region for the last half of
November and the first half of Decem
ber was fixed at li per cent, above the
$2.50 basis.
This is 2 per cent, below the rate of
wages paid last month, and the flim-flam
scale, which the miners praised so high
ly when wages were ascending, does not
look so beautiful in their eyes now.
TUCCI'H Sentence.
C'armel Tucci, who was convicted of
manslaughtes last week, having killed
Andrew Unko at Tomhicken, was sen
tenced by Judge Woodward on Monday
to seven years and six' months in the
eastern penitentiary, and to pay a fine
of SSOO.
Hettle Peppier Found.
BmoGEi'oiiT, Conn., Nov. 29.— Little
Hettle Peppier has been found. Mrs. Pep
pier spirited the child away because she
was jealous of the five-year-old girl. Her
husband was devoted to the child. She

retary Fairchild say he has made up his
mind that his business interests will allow

HIGHLAND DOTS.
On Tuesday afternoon about 2 o'clock
another mine accident occurred here,
by which Hugh Dugan and his laborer,
George Wescoe, were badly burned by
an explosion of gas. They work in what
is known as slope "D," inside of No. 2,
and had no occasion to go to the face of
the breast until after dinner. When
nearly 2 o'clock they started up the
breast, and were gone only a few min
utes when the explosion took place. As
soon as it became known the ambulance,
which is kept at Jeddo, was sent for and
both taken to their homes, where it was
found that, while both were severely
burned about the face and hands, Wes
coe was much the worse. The flesh was
literally cooked on his face and the
hands and arms were nearly as bad.
This place is blessed with quite a num
ber of ten-cent dudes who will scarcely
allow a lady to pass without making
their presence known in some manner.
It may be well for these imitations to
take a hint, or they will surely get into
trouble.
Mr. Dennis Bradley has been on the
sick list for the past few days.
That terrible comet which was to de
molish things on Sunday night, caused
a great deal of uneasiness among many
of our residents. It is said some of them

were hard at work that evening.

cause.
Mrs. Daniel Beann, of Sandy Valley,
is here visiting her sister, Mrs. Henry
Bayner.
Peter Stoltz, Peter Beishime and an
other gentleman had an interesting
shooting match last week.
We can't exactly tell the meaning of
it, but cards are out for three more wed
dings which will take place here in the
near future.
Mrs. Daniel Shovlin is able to be
around'again after a short illness.
Slope No. 3 at this place is very near
at an end. It is expected the stripping
will soon be started which will employ
a large number of men.
Miss Mary Paul, of Ilazleton, has been
visiting her sister, Mrs. Daniel Hugh
ings, for a few days.
A great many stories are told these
days about hunting and sucdessful hun
ters, but "Duffy" Shovlin seems to be
at the head of the row for bringing game
home.
A large number of our people are com
plaining or laid up entirely with quinsy.
A Hungarian man and woman were
found here on the railroad track one
night last week in an intoxicated con
dition. They were on their way to

one of the best ever held around here.
William Craig, who was injured last
month, has resumed work.
Dominick Kelly is still on the sick list.
Cruelty to a Mule.
An Ashley correspondent of a Wilkes-
Barre paper published the following
item yesterday:
"A poor old mule has been seen on
our streets lately and no one seems to
own it. The beast came through the
town yesterday with a board two feet
long and eighteen inches wide nailed
on its side with ten-penny nails. On
the board was a lithograph for a show.
"The sight was a cruel one, but those
who saw it could not help laughing.
The blood was oozing from the wounds
where the nails were driven in, but the
old mule went on its way unmindful of
the number of onloookers. There should
be a society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals in town."
And also a whipping-post for the per
petrators of such acts.
Ground Settling at Avoca.
At an early hour on Sunday morning
the ground began to settle over the
workings of the Langcliff colliery, at
Avoca, caused by a cave-in in the mine
I during the night. The place where the
surface has settled is known as "Brown's
I Patch," and several acres have gone
i down from two to six feet, causing a few
lof the houses to tip over, while many
I others sustained more or less damage.
The people of Avoca are greatly alarm
ed, fearing the settling will extend to
the thickly populated portion of the
town, but experienced miners who
know the surroundings say that no
further danger is to be apprehended.
Two Fatal Accident* on Monday.
John Morrock, while shoveling snow
from the track at Milnesville colliery,
stepped out of the way of an approach

body frightfully mutilated. He leaves a
wife and two children.
Joseph Kelshaw, a mine foreman at
No. 4 slope, Jeanesville, was seated on
the bumpers of a locie when a collision
occurred. His leg was caught between
the cars and torn from his body. He
was taken to Hazleton hospital, where
he died Tuesday night.
Mine Inspector Lewis notified Deputy
Coroner Buckley to hold an inquest,
which was done yesterday. After an
extensive examination the jury rendered
a verdict of accidental death.

leaves a wife and ten children.
'•The Mariner'* Return."
Everything is ready for the produc
tion of the drama, "The Mariner's Re
turn," by the Woodring A Moses Dramat
