Clarence Watrous is building a new
house on his property on Fifth street.
Miss Name Murphy, daughter of p.
f. Murphy, of Chestnut street, is seri-
ously indisposed.
Wednesday evening, at 113O shortly
after M. J. Burke had retired for the
night. he was awakened from his slum-
Der by man smashing in the front
door. He descended at once to the door
and recognized the person as John
Lynch. The unwelcome visitor was ar
rested and was taken before Squire
Scott and held under $500 bail to keep
the peace.
The funeral of the late Cornelius
Branning took place yesterday after
noon from the residence of his son,
Eber, on Fifth street. The services

In LOCAL TllEATERS.

The Bubb Comedy company will be
at the Academy of Music all of next
week at popular prices, 10, 20 and 80
cents. This company carries full
brass band and orchestra. The open
ing bill is "A Kentucky Home" The
Leader, Elizabeth. N. j., says: "Sev-
eral hundred people We're turned away
from brakes opera house last evening
who We're unable to secure seats to
witness the opening performance of
the Bubb Comedy company. The play,
Michael Strogoff,' was presented in an
excellent manner, and the unanimous
verdict of the audience at the conclu-
sion of the third act-the battle scene
was that the performance was far SUI
perior to many companies who have
appeared in this city at high prices,
and by far, by great odds the best
repertoire company ever seen here,
barring none. The concert in front of
the theater, at o'clock last evening,
was enjoyed by several hundred peo-
ple.'
Stuart Robson will appear in Bron
son Howard's great play, "The Henri
cltd, at the L IlcAl ueS-
day. Both the play and star have re-
ceived too wide fame to require any
advance heralding.. 1t is generally
conceded that Mr.. Robson has found a
character in it ideally suited to his
peculiar individuality and affording
the utmost possibilities to his talents.
Mr.. Robson has the happy faculty of
pleasing all portions of the house, from
those in evening dress in the orchestra
to the gentlemen who lean far over the
upper gallery rail to take in every bit
of the play. Mr.. Robson may be termed
"a player of the people" as 1.-The Henri
eta" may be called play of the times.
Both are deserving of the very decided
success they have achieved.
Bronson Howard's great play, "Aris-
tocracy," will be produced at the Froth-
ingham Monday evening by one of
Frohmans best companies. 1t looks as
though the management had searched
the whole profession pretty thorough
ly, to get together such a cast. A COM
pany like this ought to make any play
a success. "Aristocracy" will be pre-
sented here with the original stage en-
bellishments, etc, that were used dur
ing the four months run at Palmer's
theater, New York.

State OF THE COAL TRADE
Result Of the Difficulty Over the
Readings Percentage.
1T WILL BE A BENEFIT LOCALLY
Possibility That There VIII he a Consider
able Increase In Output During May.
Local Representatives Of the Large
Companies Are Saying Nothing.

Next month will witness a great boom
on the local railroads and forecasts
made show that more coal will be car
ried by the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western and Delaware and Hudson
companies than has been carried for
any month during the past two years.
This. 1t Is alleged. IL due to the con-
tention between the Reading company
and the Pennsylvania Railroad compa-
ny. The former company Is willing to
accept 20.03 per cent. of the traffic, and
1t appeared probable that all the New
York companies would have been salts
fled. but when the Pennsylvania COM
pany refused to accept the suggestion
of the Reading company to take the l
per cent OF coal at Pottsville junction
and charge 1t to Its quota. 1t became
necessary for the Reading company to
renew its claim to q per cent. of the
output.
The proposal to arbitrate Is now be-
ing pressed but the Reading company
has answered that the presidents of the
coal companies knew more than the ar
bitrators could learn of the trade in a
year. AS the matter now stands, no
cept upon the basis OF 1894, Is generally
acceptable and for obvious reasons,
which have been explained, the Read
Ing company will not accept that year
The outcome of the unsuccessful effort
to harmoni2e the relations existing be-
tween the great carrying companies
Will be that, for time at least, the local
railroad companies in the Lackawan-
ma Valley will carry all the coal posi-
BILE, This will mean that full time will
be In order In every department and
that every available car will be used in
the transportation of coal. The Della
ware Lackawanna and Western COM
pany have large number of cars
standing idle on the Bloomsbury divi-
sion, and 1t is rumored that these will
be requisitioned as soon as the month
OF May Is ushered in.
Local representatives of the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western and
Delaware and Hudson companies, when
approached upon the matter. stated
that they were not aware of any con-
templated change as their companies
were inclined to remain conservative
in the matter and observe the agree
ment as to output. They anticipated,
however, that when the canals and
lakes were open for navigation there
would be material increase in the
demand for coal and this should take
place during the coming month. Should
there, however, be decision to work
full time, the orders would be issued
from New York. A meeting of coal
sales agents will be held next week to
arrange the interior prices and this is
regarded by some interested in the
question as indicating that the COM
bination will be maintained.

Jury Says His Carelcssness Resulted in
His Death.
Conflicting evidence was given at the
adjourned inquest at the court house
last night to inquire as to the death Of
Karl Weiss, who fell from the fourth
floor of the Hotel Jermyn on Saturday
Adam Schroeder, who is in charge Of
the masonry work, said that Weiss was
a carpenter and had been working on
the building for about ten days. The
men were In the habit of descending
by sliding down the ropes. instead Of
making use Of the ladders provided.
The floor on which Weiss was working
was covered except an opening through
which to haul the material. Through
this opening the ropes were placed, and
he was of the opinion that Weiss
grasped the loose line on the blocks in
stead Of holding on to the four lines
In reply to the jury, he stated that he
had never prohibited the men sliding
down the ropes.
A. Il. Diggleman, foreman carpenter
j. Kelly, steelwright, and william Rob
erts laborer also gave testimony.
Neil McTague, one of the Jurors
questioned each witness as to the visits
OF the building inspector. The jury
which comprised NJ Fl. Keogh, Neil
McTague, p. II. Gilgallon, Peter Rosar
B. F. Squiers and William Williams,
arrived at the following verdict: THAT
the said Karl Weiss accidentally came
to his death while attempting to slide
down by system of ropes, blocks and
pulleys from the fourth story of Hotel
Jermyn. We also find that the said
fourth story was covered, with the ex-
ception of space left open for hauling
up materials. We find that the build
ing was properly provided with ladders
for the use of employees. which should
have been used instead Of the ropes in
making descent from the building"

the information supplied 1t Is alleged
that Arthur Ridgway, of 1911 Penn ave-

company him for q sleigh ride through
the enchanting scenes of Factoryville.
The merry quartette enjoyed a delight
full evening, but a catastrophe in the
shape of an upset cut short their pleas
ure and the question Of damages has
been an unsettled matter through the
intervening months.
Arthur Ridgway entered bail in the
sum Of $500 yesterday before Alderman

claim that they were not responsible

Paper Cables Under Water.

For many purposes paper, next
to wire, is an excellent insulation,
and it has, oflate, come extensive
ly into use in telephone and other
cables. But it is not generally
known that such an insulation has
been tried under water. This Is.
however, the fact, and one such
cable is now doing excellent work
at the sottom of the Hudson river,
at New York, right in track Of all
the domestic and sea-bound traffic.
OF course, the cable is lead-covered
and otherwise protected, but it de-
ponds for Its insulation, electrical
ly, on thin spirals Of paper and
around each stranded interior wire.
The laying Of such a cable in sucn
a place might, a few years ago,

have been considered little short
of suicidal, but experience has
demonstrated the perfect practical
bility OF the scheme. In consider
ing the laying Of such cables in
such situations the fact is impor-
tant that a 1l.pair, paper.insulated,
lead-covered cable can be bought
for SOC foot, while the rubber-in-
sulated cable would probably cost
not less than So per foot; while,
figured on the basis OF equal cleo
trical effectiveness, the price would
be fifty or hundred to one in IA
vor Of the paper cable-other con-
siderations left out. 1t will thus
be seen that even il it be admitted
that the paper cable is risky under
water, it's cheapness is such that
one can afford apparently to throw
it away when it has developed SER
ious defects and to put in a new
one.
