FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. VII. NO. 78. COAL MEN FAIL TO AGREE. LEHIGH VALLEY PEOPLE OBJECT TO THE PRESIDENTS' PLAN. Tlia Ni'\v York Heating Wii* About to Settle tlie Difference* in flu- Coal Tiade, Hut the Valley Thought It Wan Being Unjustly Dealt Willi. The meeting of the presidents an representatives of the anthracite coal companies, which was held at Now York last Thursday, failed to accom-' plish its object. At a previous meeting a sub-committee of live had been ap pointed to formulate a plan to regulate the question of percentage and produc tion and to submit a report. This com mittee had nothing to suggest. All the companies interested, with the excep tion of tho Ontario and Western and Coxe Bros., were represented at the meeting. All adjournment was agreed to without coming to any understand ing, and tho matter of arranging tho output and percentages was referred back to the sub-committee. The repre sentatives expect to be called together again this week. Such was the report of the meeting as given out to tho press after the adjourn ment, but it has since been learned that the presidents did try their hand at fix ing tip the differences and arranged a plan which was satisfactory to all except ono company. This company absolute ly refused to agree to the percentage given it, as the following statement from one who was there goes to show, lie said: "Tho whole feeling of the meet ing was that the anthracite trouble would have been settled if the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company had consented to tho plan." lie said that when the sub-committee announced their failure to prepare a t plan that the presidents took the matter up and from data at hand formulated ono. A resolution was then presented, asking for the approval of tho presi dents' plan. The New York, Susque hanna and Western Company objected to the percentage given to it and asked for 37-100 more. As this was such a small amount it was practically agreed to and It was understood that the ad vance would be granted. Then the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company's representatives objected to the plan and wanted further examina tions made into a number of conditions. As nothing further could be done, the matter was referred to tho sub-commit toe, which will hold another meeting either tomorrow or on Wednesday. The oflicial above referred to said that tho request of the Lehigh Valley for further examinations would take considerable time. At the office of tho Lehigh Valley Railroad Company in Philadelphia a prominent official was seen by a Press reporter and said that the construction put upon its representative's action was wrong, and it put the company in a wrong light. Ho further said: "The position of the Lehigh Valley is said to be that tho mines 011 its road worked shorter time in 1804 than any other interest, only 14(1 days against an average by all the anthracite mines of 100.0 days. Tho mines tributary to the Pennsylvania, 011 tho other hand, aver aged 211.2 days, the highest of all. "This was duo to tho Lehigh Valley restricting production, in concert witli others, whenever it was thought noces sary to avoid overstocking and conse quent unrcmunerativo prices, while the Pennsylvania worked steadily and took advantage of the improved resulting prices. "About half of tho coal on the Lehigh Valley is produced by individual opera tors, and these protest against being compelled to shorten time to benefit the market when others are allowed to run at pleasure. Their cost is increased, and they lose the most skillful miners to other regions promising more steady work^' "Tho Lehigh Valley Railroad Com pany, therefore, insists that its record of 1894 is not a fair basis for distribu tion, but offers to accept any plan which will insure to operators on its lino equal work with their competitors." This will virtually upset the calcula tions of the coal presidents and delay the agreement for some time. The individual operators of the Lehigh region aro suspected of being responsible for the firm stand taken by tho Lehigh Valloy Company. 4 The sales agents decided on Friday to restrict the output for the month of April to 50 per cent, which would make it between 2,500,000 and 2,750,000 tons. Tjio question of prices was considered, but it was thought best to defer action until after tho presidents' meeting. The production in April, 1894, was 2,757,30(5 tons, and in April, 1893, 3,284,059 tons. On account of the unsettled condition of the trade tho production will probably reach 3,000,000 tons or more.

James Hendricks, the man who was recently arrested in New York 011 the charge of murdering Harney Roick, a wealthy commission merchant of Wilkes iJarre, was given a hoariifg on Friday before Alderman Perkins. Richard C. -impson, a detective employed by Bar ring &. McSweeney, testiiied that lie had been committed to the county jail at Barring's suggestion, last January, and while there made the acquaintance of Hendricks. On two different occasions Hendricks confessed to having struck ilcick the fatal blow and to having secured #270 in money. He further Stated that Hendricks told him he and Kearney took Fisher into the case because the lattter knew Reick well and could induce him to leave home. Hendricks told witness that Reick fought hard and that he hud to choke him until he cracked the bones in his nock. Hendricks told the detective lie lijst struck Reick with a sandbag. In one of the conversations witness had witli Hendricks, the latter said that it was not the blow that killed Reick, but the worry occasioned by the loss of the money. Hendricks was sent back to jail to await trial. Robinson, the third suspect, is now in New York and will be brought back tbis week. Mine Workers' Convention. A convention of the United Mine Workers of the anthracite region was held at Centennial hull, Pottsvllle, on Friday. It was an enthusiastic gather ing and several hundred miners were In attendance, representing branches of the order in Schuylkill, lower Luzerne and Northumberland counties. Among the more important of the resolutions passed was one in denunciation of the tax collectors' bill for the anthracite re gion, which*is now pending in the legis lature. This hill permits of the work man's pay being attached for taxos. The convention Instructed all local as semblies to use their Influence with the representatives to have this bill defeat ed. A strong resolution was adopted de nouncing tiie sliding scale 011 the pres ent basis for miners' wages In the an thracite region as injurious to the best interests of the miners. The Gallagher mine certilicate law was generally dis cussed and a resolution was adopted to the effect that the different assemblies Jake immediate action to send a petition to the legislature appealing against the repeal of this bill. Manufacture of Mine Humes. TIIO Bundle mine liame will, in a short while, be manufactured here in sufficient quantities to supply this section of the state. This hnine is used quite exten sively In tiie coal regions, and after much consideration the manufacturers have decided to open a branch factory here. George Wise, of Jeddo, is the agent for northeastern Pennsylvania, and through his active work arrange ments have been made with Washburn & Turnbach, wagon and carriage build ers, to put an addition to their shops on Front street for the purpose of turning out the hames complete. By doing this power can bo obtained from the shops, but in all other respects the liame factory will be a distinct establishment, equip ped with forges and all other necessary fixtures used In making the liaines. Work upon the addition will soon commence. Trolley Faros Reduced. Commencing with this morning the faro between ilazleton and Freoland on the Lehigh Traction Company's roud will be 10 cents either way, a reduction of 5 cents. Those who patronize tiie electric railway are well pleased witli the announcement, which was make 011 Friday. Freoland people heretofore considered themselves unjustly treated by the company, but now since the fare is the same 011 all branches it is expected that the traffic 011 this side will be much heavier for the future. l'ussetl Second Heading. The opponents of the new county bill made their strongest light in the house 011 Thursday, when the bill was up for second reading. It was passed by a vote of 79 to 72, the most narrow escape it has had yet. Many of the friends of the bill were not present at the roll-call, but all intend to be in their seats 011 Wednes day, when It will probably come up for final passage. It will be necessary to have 103 votes to pass the bill. (100 Reward, (100.

TROLLEY CAR WRECKED AT JEANES VILLE ON SATURDAY. Brake* Failed to Work When the Hill Wiw Reached—Frightened PuMHenger* Leaped from the Car and Were Killed. Several Other* Injured. A terrible accident occurred 011 the South Side branch of the Lehigh Trac tion Company's electric road 011 Satur day afternoon. Car No. 20, when it reached the top of the steep hill near Jeancsville, ran away and dashed down the incline. As a result threo persons were killed instantly, ono died at the hospital yesterday and several were seriously hurt. Their names are: Mrs. John Early, aged 20 years, of Coleraine, killed instantly. Edward Early, her son, aged 7 years, died immediately after the accident. Mrs. Watkin T. Williams, aged 40 years, of Ilazleton, killed instantly. Mrs. Joseph Evans, aged 30 years, of Ilazleton, died at hospital yesterday. Mrs. John Weir, of Coleraine, back wrenched and injured internally, not expected to live. Maggie Ilarrity, of Beaver Meadow, leg broken and badly bruised. Hannah Somcrs, of Beaver Meadow, body bruised and head cut. Maurice Hughes, of Wilkos-Barre, hurt about the body. Watkin T. Williams, husband of Mrs. Williams, who was kille'd, leg broken. James and Gertie Evans, children of Mrs. Evans, who was killed, and their cousin, Howard Evans, all severely cut. j The car was in charge of Motorman Albert Seitz and Conductor Sachs. As j they passed over the switch at the top ! <>f the hill, Seitz put 011 his safety lever. ! The chain snapped and he then twisted j up the second brake. They had then passed out on to the grade and to his horror the motorman found that it would not work. The car by this time had gained such headway as to attract the attention of the passengers. It needed but a glance at the motorman to show that something wrs wrong. Seitz tried in vain to re verse the current and then shouted to the conductor to apply the rear brake. The passengers jumped to their feet im mediately and rushed for the rear plat form. A panic ensued and the people crowded so tightly against the conduc tor that he could not move the brake. The hill there is very steep. The run away car, with its frightened passen gers, increased its speed and began its descent at a terrific rate. The few men aboard who retained presonce of mind were kept busy trying to provent the women from throwing themselves into tho rockswhich lined the tracks. Many of them were frenzied with excitement by tills time and those who were killed outright were the persons who jumped from the flying car. The car kept the track until near the bottom, when it left the rails at tho crossing and plunged into the ditch, cut ting down a trolley pole with tho shock. Mrs. Williams, when jumping, fell against a pole and was dashed to death. Mrs. Early with her little boy followed and met the same fate 011 the rocks. Tho only person fatally hurt who re mained on the car was Mrs. Evans. Her side was penetrated by a board tearing through it. Tho car was not wrecked very badly considering tho force with which it ran into the bank. Everybody aboard was more or loss injured. DRIFTON ITEMS.

Contractor Joseph llendler, of Wilkos- Barre, lias secured one of the largest contracts ever let in this country and ono which ho says will bo the means of bringing between eight and ten millions of dollars to Wilkos-Barre. Tho con tract is for the stone to be used for the abutments of tho monster bridge across tho Hudson river from the New Jersey side to New York. It is not yet defi nitely settled who will build the abut ments 011 tho New York side, though those Interested in that end have decid ed that the stone selected for tho Now Jersoy end must also bo used 011 tho New York side, and it appears almost certain that Mr. llendler will also secure a con tract for tho stone to be usod there. As to the amount required for the job Mr. llendler says that 500,000 cubic yards or thereabouts will bo used in laying the abutment 011 one side, but the amount will bo doubled if he secures tho con tract for tho abutment on tho New York end. According to his agreement witli the compeny he must deliver at the New Jersey end- of the bridge fifty cars of stone every day until the completion of tho work. Mr. Hendlcr's quarries are located on Wilkos-Barre mountain. Jndge lllc© May Go Higher. A for the appointment of Judge Rice to the superior court, ex tensively signed, was presented to Judge Rice on Saturday. It is as follows: "The anthracite coal regions ought to be represented among the judges of this court and in our opinion there is no one so well fitted for tills position as your self (Judge Rice). We shall regret to lose your servicos upon the bench of this judicial district, but wo feel that you are entitled to promotion and we are anxious, if you desire it, to use our best endeavors to bring about such a result." Today the bar association will meet to take the matter in charge and bring it to the attention of the governor. Judge Rice has accepted the proposi-] tion and says in Ills letter: "I grate- j fully appreciate the good will shown in your communication. Replying directly to your inquiry, I would say that if the bill ponding in tho legislature becomes a law, I would esteem it a very great hon or to be chosen as a member of the ap pellate court. I sincerely thank you for the offer of your efforts to bring about that result, and for this expression of your confidence." To Open a Iturnlng Mine. After being closed air tight for a period of over twenty months, the gang way in No. 3 slope of Pennsylvania col liery, near Mt. Carmel, is to bo testod to see whether tiie fire is still homing, or whether it has been extinguished by the methods resorted to in order to smother the flames. That part of the mine which took ilre contains some of the llnest coal in the anthracite region, and the necessity of closing up that portion of the mines, together witli the expense of the building of batteries to close the gangway air tight, lias been very costly, 125,000 brick and 4,000 barrels of cement being used in the construction. The lire was discovered on July 15, 1803, and was caused by canvass being ignited from a shot fired which afterward lit tiie gas. An Uncommon Occurrence. Astronomers say that on Good Friday next, April 12, the heavenly bodies that gravitate around the sun will be in ex actly the same position they occupied in the Armament the day Christ died on the cross.
