An English scientist, after careful experiments, finds that when potabx*s 1 nro cooked without removing the skins they lose only three percent, of nutritive quality through extraction of the juice.

The Reading Railroad Company ll; 1 .- exploded a small-sized bomb among the coal dealers of Philadelphia by announc ing that, on and after .Monday next, it will withdraw the joint coal freight rates now existing between the Reading, Le high Valley and Jersey Central Railroad umpanies, by which Is meant that tn and after the date named it will decline to haul coal tendered to it by the Lehigh joey auu Jersey central at junction points for delivery to points along tlie ending system at present rates. Oili cials of tiie three different companies i teres ted were reticent. An official of lie Lehigh Valley, however, oonlirmod the report, but said ho could give 110 anther iiiioriiiiitlou on the subject, a-, ho matter would he taken up for con sideration by the presidents of tin; three roads probably some time this week. It Is Known, However, that the "bone of contention" is over the division of the hrouglt rate 0:1 eoal. which is, from the Wyoming region to Philadelphia, 51.75 per ton. The Reading claims that its proportion or percentage of this rate is mt adequate and the withdrawal of the present joint rates means that it is to be followed by a demand for 1111 increase In its share, which is said now to he S5 >r HO cents per ton from junction points to the various yards in Philadelphia. Coal men claim that this is not the true reason why the Reading lias taken the course outlined. They say it is to shut Lehigh Valley aud Jersey Central coal out of the Philadelphia market as far as possible, as it has lately been sold to such an Increased extent as to injure the Reading's city business. They say \ tho Reading lias now taken this tack to keep control of its local coal trade bv : asking a prohibitive proportion of the ' through rate; that is. demanding as its | share more than the Jersey Central or I Lehigh Valley can afford to pay, and thus shut them out of Philadelphia or compel them to send their coal via the Pennsylvania. In the latter case the greatest sufferers would be those dealers j whose yards are located dirot t y or reached hv sidings on the Reading lines, j and are accessible only by tho Reading. ! Those dealers buy considerable Lehigh coal, and tho position taken by the I Reading will affect ibis region to no small extent. Doath to Destroyers.

Vaughn, at Dor ra nee ton, on Monday at noon by two unknown robbers. Mr, and Mrs. Vaughn are visiting hi Washington, and their home is being looked after by Amos W. Neal. In tho morning Neal left the house to go to the postofllce, leaving Mr. Bonham, a carpenter, doing some re pairs. Ronham finished his work at 11 o'clock and went home. Mr. Neal re turned at 11.30 o'clock and on entering the side room he saw two men going through Mr. Vaughn's safe and the floor full of papers. When tho thieves hoard Neal enter they jumped to their feet and leveled revolvers at liini. One of them kept him covered with tiie weapon, while the other opened tin* door, through which botli darted and ran towards the river. Neal grabbed a Winchester and gave chase, but the robbers easily dis tanced him. The safe contained a lot of valuable papers, but whether any of them were taken or not will not b known until Mr. Vaughn returns. Even room in the house was ransacked, and it is thought that a small amount of silver ware was taken.
