Today's Hazleton Standard.

from IouayS HaZleton standard.
For the past forty-eight hours rumorS
have been current to the effect that
there is monster deal on foot, by which
the collieries of A. S. VanWickle at
Milnesvlle and Coleraine will pass into
the control of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company at an early date. Just how
much truth there is in the statement We
are unable to say, but those in II posi-
tion to know stated last evening that
tha report is correct. A. S. Wlckle
i in Georgia on hunting trip and for
that reason the rumor could not be veri-
fed.
1t is well known fact, however, that
the Pennsylvania Company wearied of
the contract entered into with the Van
Wickle Company some years ago, and
they will raise no objections to the pro-
posed lease, or sale. The Lehigh Valley
Coal Company, too, is anxious to secure
more territory, and this is what gives
color to the story.
Another instance that gives color to
the deal is the fact that Mr.. Van Wickle's
residence on North Church street is
offered for sale. William Wooden, of
Berwick, is likely to secure it.
A person who stands close to Mr.. Van
Wickle stated last evening that sem
weeks ago he made the remark that the
health of his family would be much i'm
proved if he located at Bristol, Rhode
Island. From this it may be inferred
that before another year rolls by Mr..
VauWickle will leave this mountain top
There seems to be but little doubt that
such deal is on foot, but those interest
ed are very cose-mouted, and it is i'm
possible to get at the facts.

Nail ina Leg for Ten Years.
/ the wilkesbarre Newsdealer.


John Mellinski, about ten years age
while at work repairing fence in his
home in Italy, stepped ON Il sharp point
ed nail which worked its way into his
leg and there remained until Saturday
morning When Mellinsky got up from
his bed he complained of his leg feeling
sore and upon making an examination
he discovered the nail that had so long
been troubling him had worked its way
down and out of his leg. Melinsky is
now residing in Ashley. He was sent to
the hospital in Italy some time ago, but
the doctors could do nothing to relieve
him, nor could they loo lte the nail.
Mellinsky then came to this country
and started to work in the mines. When
he was here short time he complained
considerably about his leg and said he
could not endure the pain any longer,
and he suggested to his friends on sever
al occasions that he would just as well
have it amputated. His friends advised
him to go to one of the hospitals in New
York, and was treated there for few
months. At last the doctors told him he
would have to leave the institution, as
they were unable to do anything for
him.
Mellnsky returned to Ashley again
and got IL job in the Maxwell shaft.
Some days he would be able to work and
other days he would have to remain at
home. Melinsky was beginning to got
tired of this country. He thought if he
would be able to get back to his own
country again he might find some relief
He was contemplating this movement
for some time, but now he will stay

going to remain as Il miner in the Max

YES. sir, l had the honor of forming
that league"
And the principles Of the league were
opposed to the Capitalization of capital2"
THE real object of the league was to
get a railroad commission in this state and
we succeeded in getting 1t, although the
railroads opposed us. They afterwards
said, however, that it was a good thing for
them
Witness. in reply TO a question, declared
that the Wholesale Grocers Association
was responsible for the factors agreement,
not the American Sugar Refining Com
pany.
''What do you think would be the effect
If the tariff was taken off sugar?" asked
Assemblyman Barry.
'Ihe business of refining sugar would
be transferred to the other side of the
Atlantic" replied MIR. Thurber.
Witness said he did not own any stock
in the American Sugar Refining Com
pany.
witness explained trust by saying that
in the popular acceptance of the term ii
was an aggregation of capital. He said
he believed corporations were lawful II
the results justified them He admitted
that wherever palpahie wrong resulted
from the laws Of trade the legislature
should interfere. He Thought, however,
the legislature would make a mistake
in arbitrarily interfering
William r.. Harris, auditor of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, was next called.
He said his company kept the principal
books in New Jersey; that 1t had a fiscal
account there and issued checks. About
a dozen men were employed in the Jersey
office and about ninety7six in New York.
George d. Wheeler, O. wholesale cigar
dealer from Syracuse, Testified that the
American Tobacco Gompany's factor
agreement had wrought him injury from
the fact that it refused to sell him goods,
because he refused to buy exclusively
from it. The jobber, he declared, could
not do business without the factors agree
ment. Witness denied that he was under
salary with the National Cigarette Com
pany, a competing firm.H
Counsel for the American Tobacco Com
pany, who was present at this point, de-
clared that the witness was simply the
mouth piece Of the National Cigarette
Company, who. he said, brought on all
the litigation against the American To-
bacco Company. Witness. .retorted that he
was responsible for that litigation and not
the National Cigarette Company.
This ended his testimony, and two or
three other witnesses, who had been sub
poenaed not responding TO their names,
the committee adjourned until to-mor-
row.
Something further is expected from the
rubber men tomorrow, as well as from
the coal men.

BRYAN ON THE ADDRESS.
He Endorses the stand OF the silver
Republicans.

Washington, Feb 2-Mr Bryan was
asked to-night What do you think of
the address issued by the silver republl-
cans?"
He replied: Il believe that they are
right in continuing a separate organiza-
ton as silver republicans. They are
among the most effective supporters of BIZ
metallism during the campaign, and since
the election they have stood mistaken
and undismayed. They do not consider
themselves democrats or populists, and
since they cannot affiliate with the repub-
lican party while II stands for the gold
standard, they have wisely decided to
complete an organization and hold their
forces together. In accepting the pomina-
ton OF the national silver party, | sta
ted that we did not insist upon the silver
republicans becoming democrats. but that
we accepted thei= support with the under-
standing that the same patriotism which
directed them in 1895 would be present
to direct them in 1900. The democratic
party deserved their confidence in 1896. ana
| hope that 1t will deserve their support In
the next campaign. Future events must
determine what Is wise in 1900"
