q reduction on freight. As the coal sit
uation has been In chaotic condition
for long time on account OF lower and
cut prices for coal this action will not
help 1t any, and as the coal companies
have been meeting all reductions. some
openly and others secretly. there Is no
doubt that a general reduction will
ensue. unless the tariff is withdrawn.
This cannot be done except on q ten
days notice after the reduced tariff
goes into effect. 1t has been only a few
months since general reduction on
coal shipments to tlde-water points was
made. The former price to tide-water
points was from $40 to $3.50, but the
rate was cut to $l.40 The reduction In
freight rates on coal Is something un-
precedened. as they have always here
tofore been maintained, no matter what
the price of coal was.

MAY CHANGE LOCATION,
Proposition TO Sell Penn Avenue Church
Property IirS Been Discussed.


Property Iins Eccn Discussed.
At a meeting Of a number of the men
of the Penn Avenue Baptist church
held few nights ago the proposition
to sell the church property on Penn
avenue was discussed in an informal
way. No official action was taken, but
it was decided that If a reasonable Of
fer for the building and ground could
be secue ed it would be well to sell and
purchase another site more removed
from the business part of the city and
closer to the majority of the member
ship.
If n sale Is affected II Is likely that
n site south of Vine street and west Of
Jefferson avenue would be decided
uron. There has also been some talk
Of dividing the membership of the
church and erecting another building in
the vicinity of Monroe avenue to ac-
commodate the BaptisIts of that rapidly
growing portion of the city.
yhe officers of the church are of the
opinion that II is to a certain extent
Handicapped by the present location
and that better results would be OBJ
tanned If IT was on some street not so
entirely devoted to business as Penn
avenue.

Can Ne Secured.

County Commissioners Giles Roberts.
s. w. Roberts and John Demuth are
now considering how they can make
suitable accommodations In the court
house for the superior court, which
will meet In this city.
1t has been decided that new court
room will be necessary. and to secure
1t many changes will have to be made
in the upper floors Of the building.
Plans for these changes have not
been prepared. but 1t Is probable that
they soon will be. The only space on
the second floor Of the building avail
able for court room purposes Ii The
suite OF offices at the northwest corner
OF the building used by the district
attorney and the grand jury.
by removing the partitions and con-
vertlng the space between the corridor
and the side wall Of the building into

be secured. Adjoining the grand jury
room is a large jury room supplied with
cots for jurles that have to remain to-
gether over night.
Promised TO Library Association.
This room has been promised to the
Bar association for library purposes,
and 1t is probable that the association
will soon ask for II as the present IL
brary room Is becoming too small
The third floor OF the building was not
finished when the building was con-
structed with the exception of one room
which is used by the Lackawanna Instl-
tute of History and Science. which has
large collection OF books and relics
of the early days of the valley stored
there.
The institute has MT had meeting
for some time and the room IL rarely
visited. Officers Of the institute will
meet with the county commissioners to-
day and arrangements will probably be
made by which the effects Of the organ
ization will be moved to some other
place.
viii Fit Up the Third Floor.
A portion of the third floor In the
north end Of the building will then be
lifted up for the grand jury and the
district attorney. and provisions he
made for several jury rooms. That Is
the plan that now finds most favor with
the county commissioners. and the one
that will probably be adopted.
