The Journal has received informa tion from reliable sources that some unknown persons have been in the habit of dynamiting the deep holes in the Lehigh river a few miles above town, also near the mouth of Hayes creek. Two of the persons are believed to live near hero and the others belong, we understand, near Freeland. A strict watch is now being kept and if the parties are caught they will be dealt with the full extent of the law. As the law covering this offense is very severe, these people may wisli if caught, that th(fy never had used such despicable methods to obtain their fish. On Mon day, alone, we wore able to'count nearly 200 dead fish of difTorent varieties Heat ing in the Upper pool. PoKtmaMterH' Nalarie*. Tlie annual readjustment of post masters' salaries lias been made, and the olliclals of these ulllces in 103 towns In this state havo been granted In creases.

Note* and Coin men tn on Muttera Affect ing tlie People Who Labor in Minea, on Kuilroitdrt and In Other Ilranclicn of Toll. A committee made up of one repre sentative from each of tho branches of the Lehigh Valley Railroad visited Superintendent Wilbur at Bethlehem last week and presented a petition pray ing for an equalization of wages among brakemen. The men on the Wyoming division receive 5 cents mora per day than those employed on the liazieton division, while the/ men on the other divisions are paid a much higher rate. Employes of the I). S. Si 8. Railroad report a steady deterioration of the rolling stock and increased hardships for the trainmen. The aim of the man agement is to present extraordinary profits to the stockholders each year, regardless of the effect upon the iron and muscle controlled. The road was at one time considered the best in this part of the state to work for, now it has sunk to tho lowest. Markle Si Co.'s employes at Highland. Jeddo, Oakdale, Ebervale and Ilarleigh will receive their May pay next Satur day—almost eight weeks after some of it was earned. It is unjust to keep workers out of their wages so long, and if a progressive firm like the Markle's cannot or will not obey the semi-month ly pay law they should show a little charity by paying on or about tho 15th of each month. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com pany has awarded contracts to erect two mammoth breakers in tho Panther Creek valley, to bo known as Nos. 12 and 6. Work on No. 12, which will have a ca pacity of 1,000 tons daily, will bo com menced at once and finished in nfnoty days, when work on No. 0 will be start ed. Both structures will bo eqtiippod with all tho latest improved machinery. Retrenchment is tho order of the day on tho Lohigh Valley. An order has been issued to all superintendents and master mechanics Instructing them to curtail expenses in every department and further instructing them to cease all now work. The order is general and affects all divisions alike. What tho object is no one suems to be able to explain. It has been announced frotu a reliable source that ail the general stores con nected with the mines of tho Temple Iron Company, formerly Simpson Si Watkins, will close on July 1, and after that date the employes of the company may buy their goods where they pleaso. The company has stores at Wyoming and Duryea in this county. There is practically no change in hard coal, and operators are waiting for the period of buying to set in. Prices are well maintained, and, according to tho Coal Trade Journal , there is the sug gestion that values may be advanced in some directions. After July 4 there Is usually an active season until the clos ing of the year. It Is reported that the Pennsylvania Railroad is behind tho new Scranton and Northeastern road, which intends to operate a double-track rapid transit road between Scranton and Wilkesbarre, and that the line is to be used to intro duce the Pennsylvania into Scranton. A. T. McAllister, of liazieton, con ferred last week with a number of Tamaqua's moneyed men regarding the location of a new silk mill in that town. If Tamaqua does not take up the pro position ho will endeavor to establish the Industry at Wilkesbarre. The United States Investor Is authority for the statement that William K. Van derbilt, who recently secured a 01,000,- 000 Interest in the Lehigh Valley Rail road Company, is anxious to depose Alfrod Walter from the presidency. There was takon from the Hazle Mines colliery one day last week a piece of slate which resembles a petrified tur tle. The curiosity is now on exhibition at the Lehigh Valley Coal Company's office at liazieton. The Lehigh Valley has put in new mileposts on this division. They are made entirely of iron and show tho dis tance from New York. The old style square wooden posts aro being removed. Coxe Hros. & Co.'s now breaker at lioaver Meadow was given a thorough test on Friday and the machinery was found to work satisfactorily. James E. Roderick, ekiof of the state bureau of mines, combined business and politics in the town and vicinity on Thursday. PLEASURE CALENDAR.
