AS IT has been generally anticipated
the people of this country will have to
look to the Senate for remedy in the
matter or tariff reform. The voting
down of the amend ments to allow the
duty upon coal to remain as provided
for in tho Mckinley bill, or even to re
duce the duty to 40 or so cents per ton,
shows that no remedy for this obnoxious
feature OF the Wilson bill NAV be ex
pected in the lower House. The mem
bers Of that body simply show tina t
they are responding TO the party whip
regardless of the interests Of the people
they represent. Fortunately, the bill,
after being passed by the House essen.

ways and means committee, docs not

for the necessary notifications which
the country demands.

MINES AND RAILROADS,

Six more new engines arrived at Drift
ton on Monday from Baldwins works
for the D. S. & s. Company.
1t is announced that the Lehigh Val
ley Coal Company will store in the
vicinity of Boston 800, 900 tons of anthra-
cite coal, to be shipped from Perth
Amboy as speedily as possible.
Shipments of anthracite over the
Reading for the week ending April q
aggregated 227, 1913 tons, decrease over
the corresponding week last year of a.
AIS tons, thus making the decrease for
the year to that date 776, ,S24 tons.
Th fire in the st. Nicholas colliery,
near Mahanoy City, has been extin-
guished, after flooding the burning
breasts. The water used in this work
aggregated about $1,000, 900 gallons. The
damage caused by the fire is estimated
at $4,000.
The strike inaugurated by the bitumi-
nous mine workers of the United States
on Saturday night continues to spread,
and it is estimated that over 15O, 900 men
are now out for an advance in wages.
The operators in some parts of this state
have agreed to the terms proposed by
the miners.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad has Or
dered the material of the Pottsville Iron
and Steel Company for its big coal stor-
age yards at Superior City, Wis. The
yard will be made to hold 250, 900 tons
of anthracite coal, and will cost $500, 900.
The Lehigh Valley proposes to ship
great deal of coal to the Northwest.
The strike of the soft coal miners is
apt to prove of great benefit to the an
thracite producers, especially if it is pro-
tracted, as it will undoubtedly insure
large orders from many consumers who
are now using bituminous coal. Better
time has been made in the anthracite
regions this week than for several
months past.
The locomotives on the Lehigh Valley
are to be provided with circular sheet
iron covers for their headlights. The
covers are to be placed in front of the
headlight while the engines are station.
ed on the side tracks at night to avoid
dazzling engineers on approaching trains.
The covers will have the number of the
engine cut in so that passing crews may
be able to tell the number.

ANOTHER RAILROAD.


On Tuesday, May s, at Stroudsburg,
the sheriff will sell the Pennsylvania
Lehigh and Eastern Railroad. The
writ of execution was taken out by j. r.
Perry, Of Wilkes Barre, who holds a
large block of the stock. The sale is for
the purpose of divesting the mortgage of
its lien and making the road free from
all incumberance. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Perry and others will buy the road
outright, form new company and be-
come pro rata stockholders and then 90
on with the plans of construction.
The road will run from Tomhicken to
Mattamoras, Pike county, where it will
connect with line eighteen miles long
to the noted Poughkeepsie bridge, and
then with other lines to Boston. The
right of way has all been aecured and
twelve miles Of the road have been con-
structed from the Mattamoras end,
where the litigation, which is now ex-
pected to terminate, began. The road
will run from Tomhicken, through this
section to White Haven and thence along
the mountain back of Wilkes-Ba to
Stroudsburg where it will connect with
the WiIkes-Barre and Eastern and then
on to Pike county and Poughkeepsie
bridge.
The road will tap all the great anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania and
large lumber region, and will be the
shortest route to Boston and tie New
England states.
The company will reorganize in June
at Wilkes Barre and as soon as possible
after that it is the intention to begin the
construction of the road from the Pike
county end. This will take from three
to five million dollars and it is under
stood that parties have been found who.
recognizing the the great advantage to
be gained by so important a link, haye
offered to take bonds equal to nearly
this amount.

Prison officials Exonerated,

The official report of the prison board
on the alleged ill-treatment of prisoners
was submitted to court on Monday. The
members of the board find that f. w.
Denninger, prisoner suffering with
heart trouble, was thrown into the dun
geon which was in a filthy condition and
kept there with another prisoner for
fifteen hours, and that Watchman Fal-
lon challenged prisoner to come out of
his cell and fight him.
The majority of the board exonerates
Warden Jones from all blame in the
matter, stating that he did not know
what was being done and therefore was
not responsible for what happened. The
majority also find that Fallon was guilty
only of carelessness in not seeing that
the dungeon was kept in proper condi-
ton and that he punished the prisoners
not with malicious intent or brutality
but because he thought it was necessary
to discipline them.
From investigations following the
hearing at the Jail the commissioners
state that they have discovered that a
conspiracy existed between prisoners
and persons outside the prison to perse-
cute Watchman Fallon, and therefore
he is eXonerated.
The commissioners submit rules which
modify punishment and they will have
a new dungeon constructed The presi-
dent of the board, T. NJ. Commit, pre-
sented minority report, saying he cam
not agree to excuse Fallon from blame.
The court will act upon the matter.
