Coal WiIIbe cheap.

The official report of the anthracite
coal companies shows that they have
mined for the first seven months of the
current year little over 6OO,OOO tons
In excess of the allotments agreed
upon at the time the combination
between the companies was formed last
winter. The system has given such
d dissatisfaction to some of the compa-
n les that it was semi-oiiicislIy stated
early in the current month that the
Delawars, Lackawana and Western
Com pany had decided TO pay no atten.
tion to tie agreement, but 10 mine and
ship all tho coal the company could
produce.
This has met With serious and deter.
mined opposition on the part OF
most of the ther anthracite companie
but at n meeting OF the Lackawana Co.,
to. av at W hich the subjsct,was discus
sed, statements were made showing
that the Lackawanna was in . position
| to continue the course decided upon
some weeks ago and it was agreed that
the company should pursue that course
in tho future.
1t understood that the president of
the company is determined not to re-
strict production in the future. Per
sous we'll informed IN regard to the
coal trade say that the amount above
ground at present is far in excess OF
the usual quantity and 1t is almost i'm
possible In many cases to secure trans
pos,ation or storage facilities for any
more coal. In view of the present con-
dition OF affairs, the Delaware and Hud-
son company has reduced its sched nile
price from 10 to loo. per ton and the
officials admit that the coal trade " in
demoralized condition.

DOCK LABORERs IN LONDON.

In sunshine or shower, fog or fair
weather, the approaches to the docks
and wharves of London are every morn.
ing thronged by crowds OF eager,
anxious men, struggling, nay. In many
cases, lighting like wild beasts, to obtain
work within the gates. As the hour
draws near for the ringing of the great
bell announcing the commencement of
work, a crowd of often q couple of
thousand men press around the princi-
pal entrance of the London docks, and
as the big gates swing slowly open, the
mighty mass of humanity rushes for.
ward like an overwhelming flood, to tn 9
chain barrier where the superintendent
gives out metal TOKENS, entitling the
holder to employment within. They
push AMI jostle and Struggle, leaping
on each others shoul iers sand fighting
and wrestling in the mad rush like
furnishing animals rather than uman
beings. The most desperate detef,ui-
nation Is written on every face. ahS
there Is small thought In the mind q
any man OF that su ging crowd for any
one but himself. For work means food
poor and scanty, no doubt, but still
somethinR to keep the terrible wolf from
the door. Failure means semi starvation
or worse.
But of the crowds who struggle and
fight at tn" gates, frequently not more
than one third are selected, and the re
mainder. bearing their sad fate with as
much philosophical fortitude as they
can muster-perhaps 1t is a stony des-
pair, rather-turn discop solateIy away,
some to seek work at other places
which open later, and others to wait
for calls" which may cur at any
time during the day. Thus a visitor.
strolling through the fine docks and
admiring the shipping and immense
quantities OF m archan6ise piled on
every hand, is suddenly arrested BY the
strange sight of sea Of white, anxious
faces pressing wistfully against the
bars OF q side entrance. Yes, men are

to obtain one little metal ticket-per-
hsps for one hours work, emitting the

The Tower.

A special meeting of the Board Of
Education was held last evening TO con
slider the new tower. After reading the
call for the special meeting, chairman
Heisler of the building committee re
ported that 1t had been decided to
build wooden tower of the same
height, the same proportion and ths
same fixtures originally planned, and
cover it with galvanized iron. The
building Inspector refus sed his permission
on account of the vibrating motion
caused by tho broad exposure of th'
| tower surface to the wind. 1t was evi
dent that the inspector had not under
stood the plan, and the project was mo-
| to fasten the tower to the wall, but tina
| It would be iron bolted to the joists o.
the upper stories. An appeal has beer
taken to the Board of Commission, which
| will probably meet to hear testimony y
| this or to. morrow evening.
| After hearing the report of the com
mittee, on motion of Mr. Heisler, Mr.
| Rice was called upon to state the planl
agreed upon for the new tower. He in
formed the board the new wooden towe
would not weigh seven tons and would
be substantially braced. The proposed
tower would cost about 81, ,5l9.25, a saw
ing of 1854 over the rejected brick tower
A number of builders had expressed
their opinion that the new tower wa'
strong and that the walls were sufficient
ly strong to hold It,.
Mr.. Heisler stated that the Building
Inspector had partly withdrawn his
decision and would decide this morn
ing after he had heard what the Board
would do In the matter.
Il - hnfr
Messrs. Slngley and Heisler in relation
to the contract, DIR. Shortlidge attacked
the contractors for not having com
pleted the contract on the time speci-
fed. In order to bring the matter be
fore the Board Mr.. Heisler moved tha
the building committee begiven power
to enter into a contract with j. r. ID
Seeds & Sons for the proposed new
tower. An animated discu ssion fol.
lowed, during which personalities fl n
like mosquitoes at Jersey sea side re
sort. During the discussion DR.. Short
| lidRe left the room with much disgust
remarking that he WAS tired of meetina
for no other purpose than for the mem
bers to make fools of themselves.
| The members did not seem TO have
an idea of what the meeting was for
and all sorts of motions were made aud
. dozen times several were on their feet
at once trying to talk. Several motions
were made to adjourn and were with
drawn. Mr.. Singley presented al
amendment to Mr.. Heis' 'er's motion, tt
the effect that no tower be built.
| Mr.. Heisler moved to postpone the
whole matter. 1t was lost by a rising
vote of B to 8.
Mr.. Palmer said that If no tower wal
to be built the Board could decide il
now aswell as any other time. s. F
Belts moved that the Board sanction tn,
a ,tion of the committee in taking tn,
appeal. More confusion followed, arc
things appeared to bs hopelessly en-
tangled. Then, on motion OF Mr.. Trump
the Board adjourned without voting OIL
Mr.. Heisler's motion or the amend
ments of Mr.. Singley and Mr.. Belts.
