INDUSTRIAL ITEMS.

The Vulcan Iron works at Tamaqua has
started up its foundry on ten hours. An
order for four 1900 horse power engines
by the Forty Fort and Aldon Coal com
panies is the cause of this increase in
working hours. Additional large orders
are expected from other large coal opera
tons in the Wilkes-Barre region.
1t has been rumored for several days
that the Lehigh Valley Railroad company
would begin next Monday to ship its coal
from the mines to tide water, without
shifting at Packerton. The report is not
true.
The officials of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey have been experimenting of
late with many devices by which they
hope to make accident from collision an
impossibilty. A big force of men is at
work along the various lines of the COM
pany replacing the old semaphores with
new ones operated by electricity, and plac-
ing attachments on all the switches, so
that it is impossible to leave them open
without giving warning of the danger.
The superintendent of signals, Mr.. Dawes,
has divided the track into a series of
blocks as is done in the ordinary "block'
system. In case of am accident on the
road the fact is automatically signaled to
the semaphore in the rear, and traffic over
the part of the line is instantly warned.

Katie Rooney and her New York
company of thirty stars comes to the
rockingham next Monday and Tues
| day evenings and at special popular
priced matinee on Tuesday. The COM
pany is entertaining Philadelphia
amusement goers this week and the
Enquirer of that city had the following
to say in it's last Tuesdays edition:
Made up of entirely new features and
| augmented by the Bark Ben Achmet
| troupe of European acrobats, Katie
! Rooney's Greater New Workers return
| to the Auditorium this week. No more
skilled acrobats are to be found in the
world that the Bark Ben Achmet
| troupe, who are as famous as the great
| Schaeffer family The performance
opens with a burletta entitled The
| Millionaire's Reception" in which a
couple of speciality acts are introduced
| Then follows great olio of strong
acts, and in conclusion there is a very
| funny burlesque in which other clever

Systems in Vogue in Other Cities.

conference was held at the city
clerks office last night between City
Engineer Phillips and Chairman Wag-
ner, Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Lansing, of
the pavement committee of select
council relative to a system of speci-
fcations to be used in receiving bids
for repairing asphalt pavements.
The city now has $4,000 square yards
of asphalt out of bond, that is, asphalt
pave which contractors are no longer
bound to keep in repair This amount
of pavement extends for II blocks or
over six miles. Heretofore the Barber
Asphalt Paving company has repaired
what little pavement has been out of
bond and for which about 5 cents per
square yard has been paid. Within q
few months, however, many sections of
pavement have become out of bond and
the city finds itself in a position where
1t must spend quite a large sum each
year for repairs.
In his estimated expenditures for the
coming year the street commissioner
had included an item of $500 for re-
pairing asphalt, but that sum was re-
duced to $4,000 How to provide for
spending that sum economically was
the object of the conference between
the city engineer and the committee
men.
The city engineer presented letters
from a number of engineers of other
cities, in some of which the asphalt was
repaired by the square yard of actual
work prepared, while in others the
Work was paid for according to sec
ton. The committee was unable to
decide at once uDOn a plan. That will
be laid over until another meeting
Meanwhile it will he necessary for Mr.
PhlllipS to prepare specifications on
which bids for performing the work of
repair will be submitted.
