RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.

1t is said that the Lehigh Valley is
preparing for a. new and radical de-
parture about December or January 1
in its freight department by having
direct instead of line representation.
very little is known about the plan, but
IT 1t is what rumor says q large num-
Der of clerks and agents will have to
look for new positions. AS an illustra-
ton of what is understood to be done,
it is said the present large force of the
New York Broadway office will be re-
duced from nineteen to six. All this
will be another nail in the coffin of
fast freight lines as they have been
conducted for many years. The rail-
roads have been learning an important
as we'll as costly lesson in regard to
fast freight line methods and their
management. The day has come for
the cutting off of soft berths for num-
Der of individuals. however worthy per-
sonally and competent to get business.
Railroad managers understand as they
never did before that this sort of thing
cannot go on any longer without seri-
Gus trouble, and while the lines offices
have afforded an opportunity to pro-
vide places for friends, stockholders
and chief executives equally weary and
disgusted by rate decentralization that
could be traced to the evils of the fast
freight line way of doing business

Jermyn and companys Jermyn No.
1, colliery at Rendham, will probably
resume operations on or about October
Is. Three months this colliery has
been idle and in that time the shaft
has been retimbered. From the Bait
imore into the middle vein openings
have been made and the plant through
out put in an almost perfect state.
Further operations toward getting the
coal from the two new D., L..
and w. shafts in Hanover, Luz
erne county are under way. The shafts
are each LOO feet deep, have been
sunk for some time and new air ways
and branches are being driven. A
breaker to prepare the output of both
shafts for the market will soon be
erected.
An electric motor for inside haulage
has been placed in the Woodward col
lery, at Kingston, by the General Elec-
trio company. This is the second one
in this colliery. 1t will displace ten
mules and eight drivers and runners
in point of capacity. 1t weighs twelve
tons. has seventy horse power and its
length of haul Is 200 feet. The col
liery is owned and operated by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company and is fast becoming filled
with all the latest modern machinery.
All arrangements for the reopening
of the Sloan colliery, owned and oper-
ated by the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company have been nearly
| completed. The shaft was recently
| deepened to open the Dunmore vein.
| New hosting engines were put in and
| a new engine house built. Many other
minor changes have also been made in
| and about the colliery. No definite in
| formation as to how soon operations
will begin seem to be forthcoming,
| however.

Mr.. Smyth has long been recognized
as prominent mining man. He was
for years superintendent of the Le-
high and Wilkes Barre Coal company
and of late years has been at the
head of the Williams Coal company, al
Pottsville, of which Hon. NJ. B VIII.
liams is the chief stockholder, previous
to which, he was interested in and hat
charge of coal mining in the west. Mr.
Smyth is financially interested in some
companies as well.
A hospital for sick and injured mules
may be a strange institution but 4
apparently is a possibility. Such {
step is now under consideration by
