BREAKER DESTROYED.
The breaker of the Reno colliery at Mon
tana, two miles north of Ashland, was totally
destroyed by fire on Friday. Tho mine was
opened by Church & Monroe several years ago*
but recently fell into tho possession of the
Morris Ridge Coal Company, who operated it
for a short time, then closed down indefinitely.
Tho loss is about SO,OOO.
AGAINST MINE OWNERS.
The mayor and city councils of Harrisburg
have decided to move against the mine owners
and operators along the Susquehanna river in
an effort to prevent the pollution of the water
of that stream with coal waste. Mayor Ely
has appointed a committee to petition the leg
islature to enact such measures as will pre
vent mine owners from emptying into the
river any deposits from their mines.
MULES MAY HAVE TO GO.
The directors of tho Lehigh Valley Coal
Company uro considering a plan to do away
with the use of mules at all their collieries
and to substitute a plan of mechanical haul
age. All of the collieries now uso mules. One
of the directors said: "When five mules are
considered necessary to haul the coal out of
tho mines it is time to consider mecliauicul
haulage." It has been discovered that dis
pensing with the mule will effect a very large
saving. Mechanical haulage costs nothing
when the mine is idle. The Lehigh Valley
Coal Company owns <1,210 mules.

SCHOOL HOARD MEETING.
The special meeting of the borough school
board, held at Attorney Stroll's office on Fri
day evening, attracted many citizens, and the
session throughout was a lively one. After
opening for business Director Ferry stated
that some of the board had met secretly and
agreed upon the $22,000 building without in
forming the others. He claimed he was not
present and was not notified of the plans of
the board until the regular meeting on the sth
inst. This statement was denied by Directors
Sachs and Uute, who asserted there was no
secret meeting before the regular one.
The legality of the heating contract, which
was awarded last Tuesday evening to R. G.
Carpenter & Co., of Wilkes-Barre, was next
questioned, and in the argument which fol
lowed the fact came out that no motion had
been made to give out the contract. The
president and secretary, Messrs. Sachs and
Shclhamer, had signed the contract, and they
claimed that in so doing they followed what
appeared to bo the wish of the board. There
was nothing on the books, however, giving
them authority to commit the board.
Mr. Stroh, the board's solicitor, informed
the directors that no contracts could be made
for a building of the kind they proposed to
erect. At present the board could not go
above $3,000 for a school, and any work done
upon plans for a more costly building would
be void until the borough's aseessed valuation
increases to a figure which would permit the
proposed indebtedness.
D. J. McCarthy, Peter Timony, James Mc-
Hugh ami other citizens then gave their
views upon the question. All who spoke were
opposed to the kind of school wanted by the
directors. The meeting ended without any
important business being transacted.
RESTRICTION CONTINUED.
The anthracite coal situation gonerally is
more or less encouraging, though there is no
aetivo demand at present, and none is likely
until the present mild weather gives away to
a cold "spell." Calvin Pardee, one of the most
prominent coal men, speaking of the situation
said there is a distinct improvement so far as
harmony among the various interests ure con
cerned, and he anticipated further improve
ment in the near future. That the restrictive
policy now in force will be continued he does
not doubt, as any other method would bring
ruin to some of the anthracite interests. The
various companies, he said, could mine at least
25 per cent more than the market could absorb,
and were an unlimited prodnction allowed,
prices would certainly be carried below the
actual cost of mining, with the result that the
end would not long be deferred to certain pro
ducers. He believed, however, that the dan
ger of such disaster was past, and that the fu
ture would show an improvement.—Wilkes-
Barro Record.
SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
At Wilkes-Barre last week a case ngainst
the city of Hazloton was put on trial before
Judge Woodward. James Boyle, the plaintiff,
claimed that about a year ago his wife fell
into an open trench in that city and was seri
ously injured. He alleged that the accident
was caused by the city's negligence and asked
damages in the sum of SO,OOO. Attorneys John
T. Lenahan and James L. Morris represented
the plaintiff, and Erank McNair, G. L. Halsey
and H. W. Palmer the city of Hazleton. A
large number of witnesses were heard on both
sides.
By consent of counsel on both sides the in
dictment was changed, making Contractor
Rausch the defendant instead of the city.
This was done because the contractor had
been given a permit to dig the trench and
thereby assumed responsibility. The jury on
Saturday returned a verdict of $1,875 in favor
of Mr. Boyle and against the contractor.
LEISENRING'S SUCCESSOR.
At a special meeting of the board of directors
of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
at Philadelphia on Friday Calvin Pardee, of
that city, a son of the lute Ario Pardee, was
elected president of the company to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of E. B. Leisen
ring. Mr. Pardee will assume his new duties
on January 1. The election was wholly un
expected in financial circles and in the coal
trade, owing to the fact that he has never
been identified in any way with the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company, but it was
groeted on all sides with expressions of satis
faction and approval, and his acceptance of
the position was a source of much gratifica
tion to the directors of the company. The new
president has been for many years the mana- j
ger of large mining interests in this region,
and ho enjoys the reputation in the trade of
possessing a thorough knowledge of every
branch of the business.
SUITS FOR FEES.
The argument in the suits for fees ngainst
Alleghney, Luzerne and Philadelphia county
officials was heard in court at Hurrisburg on
Friday. Auditor General Gregg claims that
under t lie uct of 1810 the officials of these coun
ties must pay to the state instead of to the
county one-half of all the fees received by
them in excess of $1,500.
The officials contend that under the act of
1808 counties having 150,000 inhabitants are
entitled to one-half the fees and the state has
no right to them. The argument was based
on the construction of the act of 1808 and
whether it is properly construed by the coun
ties.
Before argument it was agreed that in easo
the officers lost the counites would pay the
judgments, as they receive the money.
ANOTHER CHURCH WAR.
Rev. B. M. Skutick, rector of the Slavish
church at Shamokin, swore out a warrant for
the arrest of several members of the eongre
gation en Saturday, charging them with
threatening to kill him. The priest purchased
a Polish and Slavish newspaper plant several
months ago, and a few days ago the sheriff
levied on the plant and the furniture in the
parsonage. This incensed some of his congre
gation and they demanded the keys to the
church property and later attempted to assault
the priest.
