NOT A COAL COMBINE.
THAT IS THE DECLARATION OF LE.
 HIGH VALLEY MEN.

Answer of the Railroad Filed at Trenton
 in the Celebrated Reading Case-The Al.
 legged Deal Was Not Made to Form a
 Monopoly. They Say.
 TRENTON, Nov. 29.-The officers of the Easton and Amboy Railroad company have filed their answer in the Reading coal combine case, denying all the principal allegations of the state against that cor poration. Charles Hartshore, who is the vice president of both the Lehigh Valley and the Easton and Amboy roads, swears that under the lease of the Lehigh Valley to the Reading no combination was entered into concerning the selling or mining of anthracite coal; that there was no purpose to create a monopoly in the supply of coal, or to give the Reading control over the out put or prices. The coal companies in which his roads are stockholders do not monopo- hxe the production or sale of coal. Robert Fl. Sayre, the second vice president of the Lehigh Valley; John R. Fanshawe, the secretary, and A. W. Stedman, the chief engineer of the same road, all submit sup porting affidayits.
 The Advance in Coal.
 c. E. Henderson, the general manager of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, in his affidavit denies that there has been any scarcity of coal by req son of the limitation in the supply thereof mined in the months of August, Septem- Der and October. The advance in the price of coal last spring was not in excess of prices obtained in periods of ordinary con- dition of coal trade. It is misleading, he says, to compare the prices at present charged with those quoted as obtained in 1890 and 1891. The latter prices were those quoted by certain operators only. The con dition of the anthracite coal trade in those years was altogether an abnormal one, due to well known extraordinary circum- stances. General Manager Henderson de- nies that any combination was formed be- tween the coal companies, and also denies that the meetings held in New York were for the purpose of regulating the prices of coal, or controlling the output or transpor- tation thereof. f...#. =.#
 They Fixed No Prices
 The meetings in question were attended by coal producers and sales agents only. They held consultations with respect to the condition of the trade, but fixed no prices. There was DO organization and no resolutions offered or passed or any other action taken with view to binding any one with regard to the output or prices. Each person attending these meetings was left free to sell coal at prices fixed by him. self, or the principals he may have repre- sented. " 3
 John H. Jones, chief of the bureau of anthracite coal statistics, gives figures in his affidavit to show that there has been no limitation in the supply of coal recently. The supply in fact, he declares, has been greater for the ten months of 1892 than ever before, aggregating 8,57l $50 tons an increase over the corresponding period of 1891 of 1,S39, ,042 tons. The shipment in 1892 is as great as during the same period last year

Nothing more heroic than the work of Laurie Bliss and of Captain King, of Princeton, has been seen on the football field in years. The teams lined up as fol loxro.
