Nanceburg, Thomas Williams by name.
Tile is a hermit, and has acted in that
capacity for about ten years. He was
formerly a merchant and was doing
we'll in his business. Then came sick
ness to his family, and during one epi-
demic of typhoid fever he lost his wife
and four children, all within the space
of three months. From being a lively,
jocular genial, good fellow, he became
all of a sudden morose, petulant, and,
finally, uncommunicative.
He at once advertised his business for
SALE declaring he would go West. His
goods We're accordingly sold at about
half their actual cost. Instead of go
ing away he took his money, and with
q small portion of it bought a small
hill farm in the wilds near Burtonsville.
On this body of land he erected a small
log cabin. There he ensconsed himself,
and has lived there ever since.
One of the peculiar tastes he has de-
veloped, along with others quite as
peculiar is his love of rats. These rod
ents he keeps about him in swarms,
and he looks to their rearing as one
would lot of chickens. When he
wants "a dish that is particularly
toothsome he decoys a rat into a little
box and kills it. Strange to say, his
rats are all on the best of terms with
him. He feeds them regularly and en-
joys their bold sportiveness about the
house. The place is literally alive with
rats.
Among them he has many favorites

stances kill. He calls them his bell

TO ADJUST The TONNAGE
Important Meeting Of Railway PreSi-

THE GATHERING HARMONIOUS
Representatives of the Various Coal
Roads Discuss the Question Of Ton.

orPrcsent Stagnationin in Trade.


by the united Press.
Philadelphia, Dec. 27.-An important
meeting of the presidents of the various
railroad companies interested in the
transportation Of anthracite coal was
held in this city today for the purpose
of seeking some remedy for the present
demoralized state of the coal trade
The meeting was held in the Reading
terminal building, and lasted over two
hours.
Among those present were: George B.
Roberts, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company; Joseph S. Harris
president of the Reading Railroad COM
pany and acting president of the Le-
high Coal and Navigation company;
Elisha P. Wilbur, president of the Le-
high Valley Railroad company; and
representatives Of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western; Delaware and
Hudson, Jersey Central and New
York, ontario and Western companies.
According to those present the meeting
was entirely harmonious, and the
WHOle uueSllDn Ol lHc dllOlIlcHL VI lOlI-
mage between the various roads was
very thoroughly discussed.
After the meeting had adjourned one
of the gentlemen who was present
made the following statement: 1.-THE
question under consideration was as to
what constitutes the proper and natur-
al distribution of anthracite coal be-
tween the various transportation lines.
The distribution was entirely harmo-
nious, and ditwas finally decided to refer
the question for further examination
to a committee, which has not yet been
appointed. The whole question is very
largely matter of statistics. All the
leading companies were represented
While no action of importance was
taken, and the meeting cannot exert
any immediate influence upon the
trade, the fact that the executive Off
cials of all the companies are making
an earnest endeavor to settle the veXed
question of the allotment of tonnage
is at least significant of greater har-
mony than has prevailed for some time
past.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.

The Reading coal tonnage last week
aggregated 264,S67 tons, a decrease. as
compared with the corresponding week
last year Of 33,463 tons. For the fiscal
year to date the tonnage has amount
ed to 77S,SS5 tons. against S99366 tons
for the same period last year, a de-
crease of l2O, 45O tons
Lorain, o., Dec. 27-General Man
aSer Suppes. of the Johnson compa-
ny's steel plant at this place, is
authority for the statement that on
Christmas eve a deal was closed be-
tween his company and the Carnegie
Steel company by which the latter ac-
quires a large amount of land adioin-
ing Black river, Lorain, opposite the
johnson plant, on which immense steel
works, employing over 5000 men, will
be erected during the coming year.
For some time past the Carnegie
company has been prospecting with a
view of securing the location for a
steel plant on Lake Erie.
Anthracite coal sales agents will meet
in regular monthly session today in
New York. 1t is the general belief, ac-
cording to the Stakeholder, that a
policy of restriction for January will be
agreed upon. The presidents of the
several coal producing and carrying
companies have taken the situation
in hand themselves, and it is certain
that whatever the outcome of the meet
ing, it will be due to their dictation.
The few days of cold weather we have
had has stimulated trade to a marked
extent especially the movement Of coal
from the wholesaler and retailer to the
consumer. Full circular prices are be-
ing received in few isolated cases
only, but, on the other hand, there is no
cutting under the regular established
market quotations. The general mar
ket, therefore, may be said to be quiet,
with an improving tendency.
Vice President Hartshorne of the
Lehigh Valley says: I'VE cannot pay
unearned dividends, and believe no
management could have earned them
when we could not. Members of the
present board are large stockholders,
and Interested in the company in that
and other ways. At least five members
are trustees of the Lehigh university,
and as the life of that institution de-
pends upon the Lehigh Valley, the
board is also interested in that way
When conditions improve, the Lehigh
Valley should do better, and then dlvl-
dends may be earned and paid. If the
| opposition committee knows of any
man who could have earned dividends
when we could not, we should like
to meet him. He is the man We want;
but, of course, we cannot pay unearned
dividends, nor should we If we could"
The following figures, taken from the
| Coal Trade Journal, show that the an
thracte coal output for 1894 has been
less than the two preceding years--a
condition of affairs largely due to the
mildness of last winter which led to
the, accumulation of large stocks by
both producers and sellers, and con-
sequently diminished the demand for

By this it will be seen that the Wy
oming region has been the heaviest
loser, compared with 1893, and the
Schuylkill the smallest. This latter fact
is largely due to the policy of Presi-
dent Harris, of the Reading railroad.
In maintaining its rights the Reading
mined at it's own collieries during the
year ended Nov. 80, 7,4l5,9S2 tons, or
l36,01S more than in 1898, and more than
it ever mined in any year excepting
1891. At the same time its percentage
of the total output, which in 1892 was
1855 per cent, and in 1S93 1885 per
cent, rose in 1894 to 2OO5 per cent.
Owing to the mild weather, the busi-
ness depression and the eager compe-
tition of the producing companies for
trade, which at times flooded the mar
kets with more coal than they could
absorb, prices have been very low
in 1894 The following table gives the
nominal prices at tidewater at different
periods of the year. showing an almost
steady downward tendency:
