I ndl viiluul Operator* Who Were Hack of the l'm.jeet Taken ill Hand by a Mor ynu Combination--Flan of the (irttHpiiiy Ti u*t to Throttle Competition. The following interesting stateineni regarding the abandonment of the inde pendent anthracite coal operators' pro poscd line from Scranton to tidewater, for a portion of which the rails have already been ordered, is from the New York Evening Poet of Tuesday: "The proposed railway from the coal Holds to tidewater in the interest oi certain independent anthracite opera tors will not be built. This statement was made today on the authority of a large owner and shipper of anthracite coal in tills market, who lias been in timately associated with several of the concerns to ship over the independent line. The reason for the abandonment of the project is the fact that several of the collieries whose output would have been needed to assure t he success of the new line have been taken in hand in a combination, and in this way have had their position assured. "The controlling of independentopera tives and their output, it was said by the same authority, will go no further than taking in some of the properties along the Erie aud Lehigh Valley. No attempt will he made to put up the price of coal abnormally; that was one of the fallacies of the McLeod regime. The aim will be rather to make the price steady the year round, say on the basis of $4 for stove. With insurance against loss by reason of much lower prices dur ing the dull season, there would be no necessity of recouping by unusually high prices at other times, and there would be substantial returns on the capital in vested for everybody." FT H I'll Kit PROOF. lii the United States Inventor, of New Vork, on Saturday last, the above in formation was forecasted in the follow ing portion of an article on the coal trade: "Primarily the plan of settlement em braces the acquisition by a syndicate of railroad interests of most of the coal properties of the independent operators, either by an outright purchase of the mines or the purchase of the product outright, thus centralizing the control of the anthracite trade and doing away hereafter with the settlement of the many difficulties which have existed in the matter of rates for transportation and prices at the mines and at tide water. "The syndicate formed to purchase the independent coal properties, we understand, is made up of gentlemen representing the Jersey Central, Read ing, Erie, Lehigh Valley, Susquehanna and Ontario and Western; in other words, of Messrs. J. P. Morgan A: Co., J. Rogers Maxwell, George F. Baker, presi dent of the First National hank of New York, and others allied closely with the roads mentioned. "The lirst move that was made by the syndicate was the purchase of seven coal properties of Simpson it Watkins. the well known independent operators of Scranton." Not a Poor Actor in the Company. From the Akron, Ohio, Democrat, Jan. 5, 1899. The Opera House was packed to the doors and many were turned away who could not get in last Wednesday night, the occasion being "Faust."' Porter J. White as Mephisto, the evil spirit, was immense, and his support could not he beaten. Everybody speaks in high praise of the entertainment. "Faust" is certainly the best and most elaborate play ever presented before an Akron audience. Nothing of the kind or of such magnitude has ever been at tempted since the erection of the Grand I opera house. The scenery of this com pany is very fine and the electrical effects simply marvelous. There is not a poor actor in the company. People | have been so badly humbugged by the I cheap John and fake Faust companies that a first-class entertainment.like Mr. White's production can not help but leave an everlasting and pleasant re i memberanceof this society and dramatic event of t he season.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1899. Shenandoah's Destructive Fire. The largest tire in Shenandoah for ten years occurred on Tuesday morning, and for a while the entire business por tion of the town was endangered. Fortunately, the hour was favorable to an early discovery and an abundance of water was to be had. While a number of children were on their way to school they noticed smoke issuing from the side of A. 11. Swalm's hardware estab lishment. An investigation resulted in tinding flames between the plastering and weatherboards. An alarm was sent in, bijLt when the lire department appear ed on the scene the tire had reached the tin roof, and being unable to break through it, crept along the side to the cornice, which was soon a mass of flames. The adjoining building took fire, and the situation became so alarming that Malianoy City was asked to send their lire department to assist. The request was countermanded after the flames were under control. All the roofs being of tin in the neighborhood of the lire, the flames worked their way into adjoin ing buildings until tjiree double blocks were gutted. The buildings destroyed were those of A. 11. Swalrn, hardware establishment; J. Portz & Bros., merchant tailors; Kal bach, a tobacconist and cigar manu facturer; the other. Jacob Noll, conduct ed a restaurant on one side, while the other was occupied by John Creary, a tailor, and Jacob Lessig's large millinery store. All these buildings arc a total ruin, with the exception of Lessig's. which is damaged to the extent of #3,000. The loss on the other buildings will reach $17,000, about half of which is covered by insurance. The buildings were located in the heart of the town on Main street, and a few doors from the Ferguson House. The fire was caused by a defective flue. MiHtakeii Identity. When James 11. Feeloy, of Scranton, traveling agent for a Philadelphia map firm, arrived in tdWn yesterday, he was given a reception such as few men receive on their first visit to a strange town. Beginning at the Lehigh Valley station, he was cordially greeted by those of the employes who saw him step oil the train, then by a prominent J. I', whose oflice is nearby. On his way up Centre street he was stopped every few moments by men who shook his hand, asked about his health and welcomed him to town. Others tipped their hats reverentially or waved him a friendly salutation across the street, and by the tiuie he reached his hotel Mr. Feelejr was profoundly impressed witli the sociability of Freeland. Later when the agent began to move around town and the people securod a second good look at him, their manifes tations of hospitality became more chilly, for he was not whom he had seemed to be. In appearance, speech, movements, etc., Mr. Feeloy Is a perfect double of Rev. F. I\ McNally, of Georgetown, who was curate at St. Ann's church some years ago, and at first glance none but an expert recognizer would fail to make the mistake which many of our townspeople made yesterday. The agent says he is frequently ac costed in the upper end of the county by the priest's friends, but nowhere was he ever the recipient of so much cordiality on another's Account as was shown hiui yesterday. Marie Hi in u Millionaire. Ilenry Zoigler, an old German, who has lived in Pittston township for twenty-five years, was made a million aire by a decision of Judge Lynch on Tuesday, and is now worth $1,500,000. The old man had a farm of 300 acres, of which he had taken possession twenty live years ago. Recently it was dis covered that there was a rich deposit of coal on the laud, aud the Hillside Coal and Iron Company decided to bring action of ejectment to test the title. The land is a tract on which the coal has not been disturbed and is conserva tively estimated to be worth $5,000 an acre, or $1,500,000 in ail. The opinion of the court virtually decided that Zeig lor is the owner. When the case came before the courts Zeigler was unable to engage attorneys, so ho got four to act for him on a con tingent foe, it is said, of one-third. The four are John T. Lenaban, John F. Shea, E. F. McGovern and E. A. Lynch, and whon the case is iinally settled there will be due them $125,000 apiece. L*>Kion of Honor Officers.

Jack Bonner, of Summit Hill, Accused of a Serious Chaige iu New Yoik. The twenty-round boxing match be tween Jack Bonner, of Summit 11111, and Pugilist Tommy West before the Lenox Athletic Club of New York on Tuesday night had an abrupt ending in the eighth round. The men, then seemingly on even terms, cauie together, when West staggered back after a blow on the cheek. Charley White, the referee, close on the boxers at the time, fell back as if from a blow at the same time. The spectators, who filled nearly two thirds of the club house, were still won dering what was up, when White, rub bing his eyes, broke between the fighters and ordered them to their corners. Bonner refused to obey, while West, wiping his eyes hard, was anxious to go to his corner. The strong aromatic smell gave the spectators close to the ring additional cause to wonder, but an explanation came quickly. Referee White stopped the bout in the first minuteof the eighth round, and refused to permit it to go further. Referee White explained that Bonner had gone in for the eighth j round with his gloves smeared with oil of mustard, that blinded West when the latter received a blow. The spattering of the liquid blinded the referee at the same time, and White, well versed in ring tactics and all manner of foul measures, had compre hended the trick instantly. Still blind from the shock of the irri tating liquid in liis eyes, he called a halt,, felt and smelled of Bonner's gloves and stopped the bout. The official decision given a few moments later was that Bonner was disqualified for a foul in using drugs to blind and incapacitate his adversary. The. fact that Bonner was a 5 to 2 favorite in the betting caused vigorous protest among the spectators, but the presence of the police, who broke into the ring at the first sign of a row, checked all efforts to create trouble and the house was cleared without any dis- j turbance. An altercation between Torn O'ltourke and one of Bonner's backers followed the decision of Referee White. Several blows were exchanged before the police, who made a cordon around the ring at the first evidence of trouble, separated them. The injury to West and White from the action of the pungent oil of mustard on the membranes of the eyes, nose and throat were severe and painful for the moment, but rapidly wore away. Ref eree White was able to leave the club house with his friends within a short time, and West, after his eyes and nose were washed with cooling lotions, show ed no bad effect. PERSONALITIES.

Thomas Cofliold, of Miners Mill, and Michael Gamroski, of Mill Creek, was killed and Job Reinard, of Parsons, fatally injured by a fail of rock in the top vein in the Delaware colliery of the Delaware and Hudson Company, Mill Creek, on Tuesday. The fall was an exceptionally heavy one and came with out warning. Immediately after the accident occurred the work of recover ing tiie men was begun. After an hour's hard work the mangled and crushed remains of Cofiield were found beneath the fall and removed to the surface. A short distance from where the life less body of Cofiield was found Jacob Reinard was found, half covered and pinned beneath the rock, but still alive. He was hastily removed to the surface and taken to his home. It was some hours later that the body of Gamroski was found beneath tho heaviest portion of the fall, crush ed and lifeless. The cause of the fall is not known. The working was considered safe, but it is presumed the heavy rain and thaw affected the workings. Cork Lane'# Troublesome Vote. The celebrated Cork Lane vote is again iu court and will have to be re counted, as Michael Neary, judge of the board, Constable Curtis, a defeated candidate for constable, and several others yesterday took tho preliminary steps to institute a contest. They claim that the count was not a straight one and that Will Keating and Tony MeCue, overseers, did not tally tho votes to the credit of tho names that they were cast for, although the vote was properly read off by the judge. Several arrests will also follow and the probabilities are that tho entire board will yet have to stand trial in criminal court for meddling with the votes cast and for counting the same iu an illegal manner. Killed iu the West. A dispatch received in Hazleton on Tuesday announced that L. S. Allison, of that city, had been killed that morn ing iu a zinc mine at Alva, Missouri. No particulars accompanied the mes sage. Mr. Allison and J. C. Ilaydon were joint owners of the Missouri mine, and the former lias been at Alva for the past few months superintending the workings. The deceased was 46 years old, and was a brother of ex-Mayor Allison, of Alleutown; Mrs. Ario Pardee, Jr., aud Mrs. A. S. VanWickle. The remains will be brought to Hazleton for inter ment. Houglit by Steel Trust.
