INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.

| The Bethlehem Iron company will today
| start work on the two new war vessels
for the Russian government. The inspec-
| tor, Riazanine Gabriel, arrived yesterday
| from st. Petersburg.
Hazleton Standard: "The new vein Of
| coal discovered in the No. tunnel Au-
| denried, Friday morning, has proven to be
| the Lykens Valley by developments which
have been made since its first discovery.
| First the vein presented itself to Il thick
ness of one foot but now its thickness Is
almost eight feet with a seam of about
ten inches of soft rock between the two
benches. The coal is sparkling with
purity and 1t is thought will pan out the
most prof table discovery of years. Prep
arations Will be made at once to drive
slopes and tunnels through which the pro-
| duct of the vein Will be transported to the
surface"
pears that during the year 1000 coal cars
of $4,000 pounds capacity were contracted
for and their delivery is nearly completed.
The ownership of these cars Is vested in
the Lehigh Valley Terminal Railway COM
pany under car trust out of 81 ,O3O coal
and freight cars of the company 1877 are
fitted with NJ. c. b. couplers and 1926
with air brakes. The policy has been
adopted of abandoning four wheel coal
cars which require large repairs, and 1,S2i
OF these cars have been broken up, being
replaced by the new eight-Wheel cars.
This substitution has given an increase ot
81, 1876 tons in coa-car capacity.

The stocks of coal on hand as reported
monthly are no longer regarded as having
the important bearing on the trade they
once had. In recent years almost every
carrying company has established along
its line and at ultimate points of distri-
button large storage places for coal. The
amount OF coal stored at these points is
not given out though it is obvious that
this coal has u continual influence on the
trade 1t Is interesting to know how
much coal Is stored ut tide and the usual
table showing the amount each month for
several years Is given:

The Engineering and Mining Journal of
Saturday contained the following: Some
of the Philadelphia papers have, as usual,
managed TO condense great deal of mis-
information and of strictly illogical rea-
soning into their paragraphs about the
coal trade. One of them this week said
that the highest price obtained for coal in
New York today was $S.25. This is not
true. Our contemporary probably has
only Just heard the reports that appeared
in this column three months ago. An
other statement was that the true eXplu-
nation of the poor showing made by the
coal roads was TO be found in the exist
ence of contracts with the independent
operators by which the roads bought
the formers coal at go per cent. OF the
tidewater price thus making the freight
rate but 40 per cent, or, on the basis of
SO. .25 for stove at tide. only $l.3O, the small
er sizes being even less. This Is why the
Lehigh and the Jersey Central dip so
poorly, according to our Philadelphia con-
temporary. This statement is so absurd
as to be scarcely worthy of formal refuta-
tion, but 1t has appeared in several papers
lately. If their agreement with the inde-
pendent operators Is what has kept the
Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central from
doing well why Is it that the Reading,
which is comparatively free from this
incubus has not done well in its coal
business? on the other hand why is 1t
that the New York, ontario and West
ern, which has n longer haul and handles
no coal save what 1t buys on the 60 per
cent. basis from Independent operators,
makes a good showing? Its coal business
probably saved the ontario from disaster.
Again, the independent operators, taking
their aggregate output, constitute less
than a third of the trade. Why did not
the coal companies, controlled by the
railroads and constituting more than two
thirds of the trade. do well? Their advan-
tage is the same as that of the independ-
ent operators AS a matter of fact, we
doubt whether the Lehlgh Valley could
obtain as high a freight rate for its coal
as II does now If the contracts with the
operators were not in force. The rail-
roads mentioned by the daily press are
not complaining about the 60 per cent.

SWALLOWED A SWORD.
fatal Experiment Of a Professional While
Practicing at Muskcgon.

By lHe UHlleu IItSs.
Muskegon, Mich, Jan. 2S.-Albert
Heiling. a professional fire eater and
sword swallower, recently with Lees
circus, swallowed an eighteen-inch
sword at the opera house last night
while practicing for the Elks minstrels,
and will probably die. In order to do
the work better Heiling locked himself
in q room by himself and proceeded to
put three swords down his throat, He
had inserted one safely, but the second
sword struck the end of the first driv-
ing it below hepalate into the stomach.
Then he climbed a ladder and called
for help over the transom. Heiling af-
terward walked nine blocks to a doc
tors office and then home.
An operation was performed by Drs.
Denslow CARRIER and Nanderlaan. Be
lieving the point to be at the base CT
the stomach. they made an incision
there, but He!ling had walked so far
the sword had sunk into the lower por-
tion of the abdomen, necessitatng an
other incision. Heiling is 81 years old,
and though he is strong, his recovery
iS doubtful.

HAPPILY ENDED.
The Lawyers Wife Hears Him in
a Breach of Promise Case.

gentlemen of the jury, look upon
the sweet, girlish, guileless face ofthis
innocent victim and then upon the
dark features of cunning deviltry in
the face of her treacherous wooer."
1t was just as the eloquent pleader
was passing through this soul-trying
part of his appeal to the jury in a
breach-of-promise case that a lady
swept out of the spectators seats OF
courtroom in high state of sur
pressed excitement. No one at first
guessed who she was, but after the
attorney had concluded his peroration
it was whispered around finally he
got to know that his wife had curious
ity enough to venture into court to
what was going on.
That evening at tea there was a
scene at the residence OF the attorney,
and part of it was loud enough for the
| servants TO eaten OIL.
"How could you dare speak so feel
ingly of that dreadful, coarse-looking,
vicious, low-lived hogw exclaimed
the wife in passionate and hand
wringing promenade up and down
the room.
"Why, now, my dear" began the
lawyer husband.
Don't you dear me. You used all
the phrases of praise of the virtues OF
tha course thing that you ever used
to me-expressions that 1 held sacred
to-'and she burst into "bOO-hoO'
that threatened to attract the neigh
bors, if not the police.
81 believe you are in love with the
horrid creature" she Missed i'll 6
hourse contralto between her sci
teeth.
"Why, don't you know I've got t.
do the best l can to impress the jury,
said he. "IfI told them of her ugli
ness, it would be very"
"Then you weren't telling the truth,
she cried.
"Well, er--" and here he dropped
the subject like hot poker and look
ed sullen. Then presently he mOaneC
out: 81 was expecting a greeting
with some little happiness in it whel
| came home this evening. l was
mighty lucky to get verdict of 49,,
9999 damages. "
"And how much of that does sh
get 2" asked the wife, inclinlng hel
head sidewise in half-doubtiHg
half-eXpectant manner.
81 will give her the $99999, ant
keep the $4,000" he said.
ooh, isn't that lovely" and to eacl
of the four words she took a skip OF
each foot alternately, and at "lovely
flung her arms around his neck ant
covered him with kisses.
