COAL DEALERS.
Prices Will Remain Unchanged
Until November-Van Wag-
enen's Pea Coal.

The Coal Dealers Association held q
meeting with closed doors ut Sip and
Summit avenues last night About
twenty-five members were present. The
price of chestnut and stove coal was left
unchanged at S. ton.
No reference was made to any war of
coal dealers, and all that occurred was
fhe comparing of notes as to the bad
debtors known to each dealer.
One of the dealer said this morning
that all the talk about Dealer Van Wag-
enen injuring the association is nonsense
The coal that he advertises as chestnut
No. 2. for sale at So 75 per ton. is in reality
pea coal. which oGher dealers offer for
sale at 50 so per ton. 1t is marked So. rs
by the railroad companies u5 wholesale
rates. The wholesale rates of stove and
chestnuts which are made by the whole
sale supply people are. ST. 40 for stove,
and $4. Is for chestnut. so it would be i'm
posi- ole to sell this coal at 50 rs. They
think Mr. Van Wageneu only
Injuries himself by selling pea
coal One of the complaints
the dealers make is the shortness OF time
allowed to them TO unload their consign-
ments from the cars. Committees have
been appointed to try and induce the rail-
road companies to remedy the matter.
There is no chance OF the present price of
coal, So, being changed before the meeting
of the dealers in November.

Philipsburg's Banking Company
Joins in the Bankrupt Pro-
cession-Liabilities and
Assets.
snecfal to the Jerseu cltu .Me,rs.

PHILIPsBURG. Oct. 6. 1S91.-A notice
was placed upon the Philipsburg Bank
yesterday. signed by the president. an
led up to this unfortunate state of affairs
seems to have been the general distruss
occasioned by the failures of the Houtz,
dale and Clearheld bahks, coupled with
the fact that Jonathan Boynton, who un-
til within few months ago was presi-
dent of the First National Bank of Clear
field, Is the president of the Philipsburg
Bank. This being known when the fail
ures of Wednesday were announced,
caused every one to expect a run here.
The cashier, .. Perry Jones, on We'd
nesday night called together number of
the banks heaviest depositors and being
assured by them OF their support prepared
himself for the anticipated run. On
Thursday and Friday the Hungarian de-
positors in droves withdrew their deposits
and on Saturday many business 9nen,
Notwithstanding their promise, checked
out and withdrew to such an extent that
on Sunday the cashior found that with
out additional help he would be obliged
to suspend payment
A statement Of the banks condition
was made out and submitted to several
local capitalists Proffers of assistanc ce
to the extent of $4,000 were made, but
of the bank 1t would be best to suspend
payment, and the advice was taken. BY
those we'll advised of the condition of the
bank it is believed to be sound, that the
assets are largely in excess of the liabili-
ties, and that it will be only question of
time until the depositors can be paid in
full and surplus left.
The bank has an advertised capital of
SIS, 900. $4,000 surplus, and was estab-
lished in 1871, and some Of the principal
business men and coal operators of this
section are its patrons. It's failure will
have depressing effect on all local in
terests, and will cause more or less tenl-
porary business embarrassment. O. Perry
Jones. the operator of the Coaldale Coal
Company's mines, is Interested in several
othec mines as we'll as other local indus
tries, none of which will be affected by
the suspension. He is regarded as an ex-
cellent business man, and much SYM
pauhy is expressed for him on account of
failure from causes wholly beyond his
control. The borough fund, school fund,
the public school saving fund. amounting
to 81. 800 and other public funds are locked
up in this bank.

ing the Facts.
CLOTHED WITH BRIEF POWERS.

There was disgraceful scene in the
house of No. Fire Truck in Hoboken on
Saturday night which was only made
public today. Two firemen became en-
gagged in a heated argument and rough
and tumble fight ensued. Fire Chief
Applegate has suspended one of the bel
ligerent firemen and the affair will be
thoroughly ventilated at the next meet
ing of the Fire Commissioners.
John Wilcox and Michael Mcintyre were
the actors. There has been bad blood be-
tween them ever since the paid fire de-
partment has been established. On Sat-
urday Stanton, the captain of the COM
pany, had day off. He left Mcintyre in
charge. Mcintyre at once began ordering
Wilcox about and tormenting him.
Finally Wilcox rebelled. McIntvre
was enraged. and struck him with his
clenched fist in the jaw. Wilcox retail
ated and pretty soon there was the liveli-
est kind of fight The other fremen
attempted to drag the men apart. but
Mcintyre threatened them. Finally, after
the men had fought desperately for ten
minutes, they stopped by mutual consent.
Mcintyre had beautiful black eye and
Wilcox was badly bruised.
Efforts were made to conceal the facts,
but they leaked out and came to the ears
of Chief Applegate. Being satisfied tnat
Mcintyre was the aggressor, he at once
suspended him.

CRESSLER'S DEATH.
Dr.. Converse Says it Was Due to a
Rupture of the Left Lung.

The inquest into the death of George w.
Cressler, who was killed in falling from
a scaffold at the Pennsylvania depot, was
continued by Coroner Faherty last night.
Nine members only of the jury were pres
ent. They returned verdict that care
less construction of the scaffold caused
the accident, but from the testimony they
were unable to place the blame. When
the verdict was read Juror Hartman OBJ :
jected, and said the men who had charge
of the construction Of the scaffold should
be censured. II appeared at one time as
if the jury was finally to disagree, but at
last Hartman came round.
Albert Perry, carpenter, who was
working near the scene OF the accident.
was the first witness called. He said the
scaffold, the collapse of which caused the
death OF Cressler, was put up in half an
hour. He could not say why the scaffold
collapsed.
Harry johnson, also a carpenter en-
ployed in the construction of the new
Pennsylvania depot, thought the scaffold
which collapsed was strong enough to
bear the weight of all the men upon it,.
He did not know the cause of its collapse.
Michael Mitchell was next called. He
the scaffold which fell. He said
he fell five teet but caught hold of the
window sill. He said he did not know
what caused the accident. He testified
that the wood used in building the scat
fold was solid, for some Of it had been
used III putting up scaffolds now in use
Andrew Brann, the contractor directing
the carpenter work at the new Pennsyl-
vania depot and the employer of
Cressler, next testified. The only cause
he could give for the accident was that
the scaffo1d was not nailed tightly to the
wall. All carpenters, he said. made their
own scaffolds
A statement was read from County
PHYSICIAN Converse. This said death was
due to rupture of the left lung.
