UNDER ONE MANAGEMENT.
Captain May Will Have Entire
Charge Of the Erie's Coal Inter
ests in This Region-Ex-
Judge Lewis Retires.

That the Erie railroad officials pro-
pose to knit the business of their road
and its recent acquisition, the New
York, Susduehanna and Western
Railroad company, together, is shown
i'll a move that has great deal of lo-
cal significance.

the general manager of the New York.

this city for the last nine years. has
resigned and his position vii! here
after be filled by Captain w. a. May
superintendent of the Hillside Coal
and Iron company, the title under
which the Erie company carries on its
mining operations.
That indicates that the coal bust
ness of the two roads hereabouts is to
be conducted under the direction of
one man, Captain May. who is one Of
the most trusted lieutenants of the
Erie company. He does not relinquiSh
his connection with the Hillside COM
pany. The Two offices are consolidat-
ed
EX-Judge Lewis is q director of the
New York, SuSquehanna and West

Susquehanna and Western. At pres
ent it runs from Paddy's Land in Lu-
Zernc county to Greenwood. hut the
, company was chartered TO build q road
as far as Winton and a survey was
! made to that point.
1t is said that eX-Judge Lewis will
now devote his energies 10 building the
remainder of the road from Greenwood
to Winton. There does not seem tC
be much need for such road now in
view of the new relations that exist
between the Delaware and Hudson
Canal, Erie and New York, Susquehan-
, ma and Western companies and on that
| point probably rumor is ut fault.

se"ms absolutely no need of construct

/ road, as it would merely parallel tn,
! Delaware and Hudson. on account o,
the high prices that property in thi:

Was Necessary.

cause why John Gibbons should not
be committed to jail for contempt of

testant, pressed for an immediate

feet that Mr.. Burns. counsel for Mr..
Gibbons, and Mr. Duggau, one of the
examiners, We're likewise guilty Of con-
tempt. the former in having advised
Mr.. Gibbons not to answer, ana the
latter in upholding him in his refusal
to answer. These matters will also.
probably, be discussed in The argu-
monts next Monday.
The poor board quo walrlnto case

ment court, Judge Archibald daclinine
