The operators cannot ship it fast enough, and the Cross Creek Coal Company, by its foresight in equipping a road of its own, is the only firm in the region that can nearly fill its orders. The new offices for the D. S. & S. offi cials will be erected this summer. The superintendent, train dispatcher and all clerical help will be stationed near Free land. Thomas Slattory, of town, has been appointed yardmaster at Roan, succeed ing Charles Kline, who is now conduct ing on tho run to Pertli Amhoy. Mr. Slattery is a well-hooked railroad man and will fill his new position with credit. Coal companies are keeping an eye on their culm hanks to prevent them from catching fire. Since Eckley B. Coxe proved the value of culm as fuel the banks are carefully watched. R. S & S. engine 24 has been changed to Lehigh Valley 601, and is now doing freight service between Del.no and lla/.leton. A wreck caused by a broken wheel occurred at the Lumber Yard on Tues day and piled up several Lehigh Valley loaded coal cars. The train was drawn by engine 343. Vacant houses in Freeland are in de mand by the new crews which started to work on the D. S. &S. Boarding houses are overcrowded at present with men who are waiting to bring their fami lies here. It is reported that there has been a reduction of wages all along the northern division of the Valley, station agents and clerks being the sufferers. Samuel M. Downs has been appointed train runner on the D. S. AS. He was formerly with the Central at Mauch Chunk. The breaker at Lattimer No. 2 will be remodled as a washery. The culm bank at that place will bo run through the washery and converted into buckwheat and pea coal. The new roundhouse to he erected by the D. S. & S. will hold forty locomo tives. Call-bOys, whose duty it will he to notify the crews of the time their trains go out, will he put on by tho D. S. A S. in a few weeks. A rumor is current that the Lehigh Valley intends as soon as possible to make the Buffalo, Wilkes-Barre and Kaston Bhops tlio three principal shops of the system. Nino P. S. Jc S. trains left' Roan for Perth Amhoy during the first three days of HUB week. They averaged ahout fifty cars each. One of the best equipped repair shops on the Valley road is at Weather ly, but through petty spite disabled en gines are hauled past the town to Delano and there repaired, leaving Weatherly works idle. There is too much small ness about the Valley in some respects. Nearly all the new men recently hired by the D. S. & S. are former Lehigh Valley employes who lost their work during the late strike. The majority of of them have been put on the Amboy run, the old D. S. & S. men preferring j to work on the "branch." James M.
