FREELAND, PA., MARCH 25, 1897.
The Coal Trade Trouble in a Nutshell.
From the Ha/leton Sentinel.
A great deal of interest centers in
the anthracite coal business at the prcs
ent time, due to deals alleged and
otherwise. This interest is doing noth
ing for the miner, thopgh it may event
ually develop something of advantage.
The fact that the Morgans have secured
a position in tin* management of the Le
high Valley affairs has already shown
its effect in an order to reduce forces
along the line. It should be patent to
the Morgans by this time that advanc
ing coal rates and placing the commodity
beyond the reach of ordinary purchasers
and forcing competition is not the wisest
course. J tiding from events the past
week they take this view of the matter
and are already looking about for
another opportunity to adjust the difii
culty. The reduction in the railroad
forces is significant.
It is understood that a* drop in the
price of coal will take place in a short
time. This will have a stimulating
effect at the start, though it will be
larger than the magnates were willing
to concede to be practicable a year ago
before any material benefit will result
to the coal regions. The same agency
can cut the price, of coal direct and
make money if thev will continue the
shading and lop off a portion of the ex
orbitant freight rates for carrying coal
to market. Here Is where the rub has
existed, but since it has been the corner
stone of high salaries for railroad super
intendents and principalities for the
magnates, they have been mighty slow
about touching that feature. It must
come to this nevertheless before a pros
perous business is created.
The Lehigh Valley has shown some
activity in the mining department in u
prospective way, but as yet they have
done nothing definite to give assurance
of real benefit. It is taken by well in
formed persons, however, as a good sign.
The greatest drawback that the coal
trade has li<*- with the transportation
department. Small operators, while sat
isfied to accept a small margin, cannot do
business profitably while rates for carry
ing coal are so outrageously high. The
carrier has reaped the harvest.
But even this source of revenue has
been cut off or reduced by the force of
competition and smaller sales. Small
tonnage and big profits seems to have
been the motto of the carriers. They
now find that the high rates iiavo re
sulted in such a greatly reduced ton
nage that it is believed the motto is
likely t• undergo a change, making it
small profit on big tonnage. Should
this policy b< adopted the trade will im
mediately receive a stimulus that will
place it in the lin of prosperity.
It wa- the .Morgans who conceived the
idea of returning to the McLeod system
some eighteen months ago by pooling
interests ami advancing coal prices, not
exactly to maintain the miner, but to
keep up the palatial style of the railroad
magnates. In the reduction of rates
lies the only Impe of a rev ival of activity
in the trade, and since the Morgans have
soeuricd about everything they seemed
to want, it is natui'al to suppose that
they will now begin to shape things for
active work. The fact that oil and gas
, are in the market and can he utilized as
fuels lias hemi forcibly impressed upon
the managers, and it is to be hoped that
they will profit thereby and get right
down to the difficulty.

RHEUMATISM
Cured, says Mrs. M. Hill, of
GALETON, PENNA.
j Probably there is no disease that in
j llicts so much continuous pain as rlien
| luatism. When it becomes chronic'
there are few so hard to cure. This
i disease is caused by an impure state of
blood. The impurity consists of an
excess of Icthic acid, and to drive this
acid from the blood is the object of all
rational treatment.
The medical faculty have found in
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,
a certain and positive cure for this ter
rible complaint. Mrs. M. Hill, of
i Galeton, Pa., savs: "One year ago I
I was with muscular rhematism.
My limbs were so painfull 1 could
scarcely walk- 1 determined to trv
DR. OAVID KENNEDY'S

j urinary troubles, dyspepsia, constipa
tion, kidney or liver complaints, it is a

OPERA HOUSE NOTES.
The Labadies Company closed a profit
able three nights' engagement last even
ing. A crowded house saw a very fail
production of "Faust" on Monday even
ing. prices considered. The star of th<
troupe, Hubert Labadie, is somewhat
out of his element in the charac
ter of Mephisto , or else his ideas on how
the devil disports himself are diffe;-
ent from others who assume the role.
Mrs. Labadie made a fair Marguerite.
and the other members played th dr parts
well. The electrical effects are far sup
erior to those shown by the majority ol
companies in this play.
Frank E. McNish, the negro comedian,
amused the the crowds nightly with his
antics.
"Cuban Justice" was given on Tues
day night. The audience did not take
kindly to the piece, and its presentation
could not be considered successful.
The company gave "East Lynno" at a
matinee yesterday afternon. The audi
ence was very small. The same play
was given last night, and the acting was
satisfactory to the large audience pres
ent. Mrs. Labadie played Lady Isabel
as well as any actress ever did here and
won considerable applause in her emo
tional parts.
Tony Murphy and all the other favor
ites of Fitz& Webster's company will be
here on Tuesday evening.
After last night's performance a spar
ring exhibition was given by Frank Mc-
Nish, of the Labadie Company, and
James Reed, of town, in which was
shown how the blow that knocked out
Corbett was delivered by Fitzsimmons.
McNish represented Corbett and Reed
took the part of Fitz. Three one-minute
rounds wore fought and the two men
mixed up very well.
BRIEF ITEMS.
John lienor, of Summit Ilill, and Dick
Moore, of Long Island, fought a fifteen
round bout near Philadelphia on Tues
day night. It was one of the most
scientific exhibitions ever seen around
that city. The referee declared the
contest a draw. At the same place that
evening Charlie Johnson, who fought
"Scaldy Bill" here, was given the deci
sion in an exhibition with Hagcrstrom,
the Providence "Swede."
The Lehigh Valley league consists of
amateur teams in Allentown, Easton,
South Bethlehem and Catasauqua.
Each club has posted SSO as a guaran
tee that the season, April 24 to October
2, will be played.
The sporting people of town are
anxiously awaiting the arrival of the
kinetoscope, the unique machine which
shall reproduce the big fight exactly as
it occurred.
DRIFTON ITEMS.
Ground will soon be broken above No.
2 breaker for a large carpenter shop,
where the D. S. &, S. Company will re
pair its cars. It will be located where
the proposed round-house was to have
been built.
Thomas Hyland is unable to work on
account of an accident received in the
mines. Two lumps of coal caught his
right hand the other day and injured the
member severely.
Mrs. E. J. Sweeney attended the fu
neral of a friend at Wlikesbarre last
week.
Mrs. Patrick Quinn has returned from
a visit to Penn Haven friends.
Three eight-hour shifts is all the col
ieries will work this week.
