Cannot Secure Agents,

1t was stated on Saturday in coal cir
cles that the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany had been unable to secure commits
sion men to handle the output of the
individual coal operators of the Lehigh
region. The failure to secure these men
puts stop it is said to the negotiations
in progress under which there was to be
a contract with the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company to purchase the coal mined by
the individual operators for one year,
beginning October l.
While the officers of the company
would not confirm or deny these rumors
it was stated that the operators have
already been notified of the failure of
the plans upon which depended the pro-
mitigation of the agreement to purchase
their coal and that after the close of the
present month, they will be obliged to
dispose of their own coal.
A number of commission houses in
New York were waited upon by the
representative of the Lehigh Valley
Company and an effort made to induce
them to handle the coal, but these
houses it is said declined to enter into
the deal, Notwithstanding the fact that
they were offered more than the usual
rate to sell the coal. They considered
the restriction to maintain circular rates
as practically tying their hands.

Crews Reduced.

The Jersey Central has reduced its
coal crews by taking man off each
train, except the Upper Lehigh, Nes-
quehoning and Lehigh and Lackawanna
branches. The increasing number of
gondolas in use make the trains shorter,
and enables the brakes to be applied
quicker than with the old style cars, is
the reason for reducing the crews to two
and three brakemen and a hag-man
each. This new order lays off two men
at White Haven, five at Penobscot,
twenty-five at Ashley, thirteen at Mauch
Chunk, and in proportion at other points
along the line.

A HORRIBLE DAY.
THE CITY STREETS CONVERTED INTO QUAG-
MIRES,
Through Which Horses FOundsrsd All Day and
Across Which Pedestrians We're Com
PEELED to Wade-Ths River
Cutting On. Boats

The mercury got up as high as 10 de-
grees, yesterday, and the resulting
slush on the streets OF this city was
something frightful to contemplate and
horrible to encounter. From three to
ak or eight inches deep, Of the color OF
backgrounds, it was ground up by the
ceaseless stream of vehicles into plas-
tic mass which couldn't run off through
the sewers, and which could only be
scooped up in buckets. Board OF Puo-
lie Works men cleared a few crossings
during the day, but the relief thus az
forded was Of very temporary nature,
as the mass OF stuff on either side
Quickly filled up the cleaned space
again. Some of the streets were impas-
sable to people not provided with gum
boots or stills, and Swiss mountaineer
provided with a chair on his back, after
the manner of his native land, could
have accumulated considerable wealth
by carrying people over such places as
Twelfth and Fourteenth streets, on
both Main and Market.
Another source Of annoyance ana dis
comfort both to merchants and pedes-
trians, was the torrents OF water whlch
spurted from spouts or fell from
cornices and caves, interspersed ever
and anon, by chunks of ice or miniature
ayalanches of snow. The rule seemed
to be, that the larger the place OF bust
ness, and the more prominent the
locality, the greater the amount OF
water which was scattered about, and
some stores could only be entered
through cataract OF dirty water wnlcn
could neither be diverted or shut oil so
long as there was any snow on the roof.
There was a very general movement
during the day towards cleaning on
sidewalks, and by night they were
comparatively free from ice and snow
at least in the business part OF town.
There was no noticeable change In
the river, in this vicinity, yesterday,
except that the ice became somewhat
weaker. BY tonight, however, II the
weather grows no colder, and prop
ably even If there is q decided
drop in the temperature, the
river will be rising, and to-mor-
row the ice may make move. 1ester- :
day river men worked hard all day, and
the c., L. 81 W.ftransfer boat, the K.
E. Phillips and both wharf-boats, all OF
which craft are lying at the wharf,
were cut out and last night were hoat-
ing free from the solid surface. This
morning the Lizzie Townsend will at
tempt to break up the ice In front OF
the wharf by moving up and down, ana
will thus materially lessen the
danger to the boats there.
The ice Is not very heavy
Immediately surrounding the boats as
when the river gorged the boats lay In
open water for a day or two, the east
side OF the gorge being some fifty or
seventy-6ve feet from the wharf. This
froze over later, but the ice naturally
formed slowly. owing to the current.
The reports from above contain MOTH
Ing indicatiye of flood of even moder-
ate proportions, as yet. Riyermen are
everywhere taking precautions, but
they are almost with reference to the
ice.

LAST night was disagreeable one to
South Siders. There was not a redeeming
feature about the evening, and many ousi-
ness men remarked that they never saw
business so dull. No street cars were run
ming and people remained in doors. The
few that did venture out in the slush were
ANNOYED greatly by hoodlums in the form OF
beys getting on the street corners and
making the night hideous by their shouts,
and pelting passers by with snow balls,
without regard to race, color or anything
else.
ANOTHER new, novel and sensational
fraud is now beginning to make its advent

Death of Charles Tappe.

The REGISTER mentioned nearly a
week ago that Chas Tape, living on
Forty-fourth and Water streets, and a
popular South Side meat man, had
bad attack of typhoid fever. His dis
ease became worse and worse, till he
became entirely delirous. Near the lat
ter part Of the week, he broke all re-
straint, and with only his sleeping gar
ments on, dashed from the house. He
developed a wonderful speed, aud ran
directly on the Ohio River railroad
tracks for one and a half miles to
BOggS' run, where be was caught by
his attendants, representatives Of Fort
Henry Lodge No. ., Shield OF Honor,
who had remained faithfully at his bed
side. His malady became worse stead
lily till death called him away last night
at 10 CLOCK. He was about thirty-fve
years old, highly respected, and his
sudden demise will cause general sur
prise. The Shield of Honor will have
charge of the funeral.

The situation n the street car strike
remains practically unchanged, and no
settlement was effected yesterday. The
same number Of cars were running yes
terday as on Sunday, but last evening
several new hands made application,
and some seven or eight cars will be out
on the line to-day.
No serious disturbance Of any kind
occurred yesterday, and the new men
ran the cars over the whole route un-
molested, There we're occasional cries
Of ''black sheep" rather tauntlly by the
youngsters along the route, but no mis-
sileS were thrown. OF the six cars run
ming yesterday, two went 70 Martins

There was a meeting OF the Car Opera
tors Union at Assembly Hall yesterday
afternoon, and at o'clock the Arbitra-
ton Committee OF the Trades Assembly,
TO whom the trouble is now entrusted,
went up to the Office Of the Central
Construction Company, ia the Hswley
block, and met General Manager Jolly.
They rehearsed the whole trouble, ana
among those present was the con-
plainant, Mr.. Williams, who told his
story over again as published In the
REGISTER yesterday morning. After
some discussion the Arbitration Com
mlttee desired 10 know what Mr.. Jolly
was going to do. Mr. jolly could not
give a definite answer 20 this just az
that time, but said he would do so TO-
day sometime. This closed the con-
ference, and the Arbitration Committee
left. The purpose OF delaying the an
swer was TO consult with the other
officials of the company who had not
yet arrived in town.
President Kim0all is In Syracuse,
where he is negotiating for another
railway deal, aud Mr.. jolly received a
telegram from him last night, stating
that he would be here on Wednesday.
Mr.. Champion, of Cincinnati, will ar
rive here to-day, while Mr.. Hazard is
also In Syracuse, aud will likely reach
here in company with President KIM
ball
Mr.. Jolly says he does not wish ii I'M
derstood that he is fighting uniouiSm;
it is simply a plain question Of whether
the employees neglected their duties.
He says be feels that the weight Of ev-
idence Is on the side Of the complainant,
and inasmuch as the road is catering TO
the public, be does not see how be can
overlook this well-defned complaint.

Fifteenth and Eoff streets, about which
there has been so many ordinations OF

mis- gentlemen friends, but the host
was equal to the occasion, and royalty
entertained them all.
A feature Of the evening was the ex.
celent music which was provided, ana
10 was listened to with the
keenest delight. 1t was
party of considerable size as
there were between sixty and seventy
guests on the joyous scene. Choice re-
freshments were served, and thus to-
gether with billiards, other games, con-
versation, songs, and a general inspec-
ton OF the magnificent surroundings
the hours flew all too quickly.

Marshal Joseph Marshall, on his
rounds Of town last Saturday, got the
scent that two men were rObbing stores
and saloons in town. He immediatly
left all other business and started on the
trail. One place they had stolen
oranges, at another deck OF cards, and
at another some meat and other eata-
bles. Ii seemed their game was to 90 70
a store or saloon and get the proprietor

help themselves. In the rear Of +. p.
Hofman's store, Mr.. Marshall saw the
men stealing sturgeon. He immediate
