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.

llondrlck* Held fur Trial.
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.

FOUR LIVES WERE LOST.
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.

A Big Contract for Stone.
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.

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. It will be the first time such a
thing has occurred since that great day,
just 1,862 years ago. That was the
thirty-third year of the Christian era,
which dates from the birth of Jesus
Christ. At 11.20 p. m., on April 11,
New York time, the moon will pass
before Virginia (Spica), and hide that
constellation for over an hour.
