The case of Attorney Cornelius Smith,
who two years ago was disbarred from
practice at the Lackawanna county bar
for alleged contumacy, growing out of
the Jennings damage suit against the
Lehigh Valley Company for the Mud
Run accident, is attracting general at
tention. Subsequent to his dsbarment
he appealed to the supreme court, which
declared that his punishment was too
heavy for the wrong, and that at the
end of two years, should he ask for re-
instatement, the court should grant it,
The two years expired on June II last
and Mr.. Smiths case came before the
Lackawanna court with upward of one
hundred interested attorneys present.
He claimed that tho judges there were
prejudiced, and they certified his case
to Judge Woodward, of this county, and
now the latter, said to be actuated by a
sense of judicial courtesy, declines to
hear the appeal.

Griner In Cherry Hill Now.

James II. Griner, exmember of the

day morning for Philadelphia to become
a guest of the warden of the Eastern
penitcntiary and to remain for the next
twelve years. Griner was accompanied
by Sheriff Martin, who will see to it that
the ex-representative is properly housed
On leaving Griner was ELUSIVE in his
demonstrations OF thanks and apprecia-
tion of Warden Boland's kindness. He
shook hands with all the Jail attendants,
and then passed out. No relatives or
friends were present, and the departure
was quite commonplace. Griner was
convicted at the last session of criminal
court of numbering his stepdaughter.

A JOINT SELLING AGENCY.

The so-called coal trust is making a
hard struggle to get in good working
order again, A meeting of the presi-
dents of all the anthracite roads has
been called. One of the principal OBJ
jects of this conference is said to be to
take up the question of establishing a
joint selling agency to handle all the
coal transported by the roads. The other
matter to be decided is said to be how
great a reduction can the railroads make
for the transportation of coal from the
mines to tidewater Times.

WILL STICK TO SOFT COAL.

Rumors have been current for some
time, especially in the coal regions, that
the Reading Railway contemplated a
change in its policy inaugurated some
time ago of using bituminous coal instead
OF anthracite for fuel on its freight loco
motives. At the time the change was
made it was stated by the officials that
it had been made from motives of econo-
my. The motive still exists, and the
officials say that there is no basis for the
rumor of return to anthracite. The
Lehigh Valley Railroad has also been
mentioned as preparing to make the
same change, but the officials of that
company deny the truth of the report,
The cut of 81 a ton in the price of coal
at Chicago, recently made by the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road, has been rescinded, and tho old
rate of S5.25 per net ton has been re-
stored. There is reason to suppose
that all companies will soon return to
the old rate.-Rec0rd.

To Buy More Fire Hose and a Jumper.

To Buy More Fire Hose and a Jumper.
The members of the borough council
met on Monday evening for the purpose
of taking action on the proposition OF
the Highland Coal Company to furnish
stone for street purposes. The company
proposes to furnish the borough all the
stones it needs for macadamizing the
streets and to allow council to place It's
crusher at the large stripping bank near
Highland and Sandy Run turnpike.
The only proviso contained in the agree
ment is that the stone is to be used for
improving the streets of the borough of
Freeland, and that no sale of the stone
be made to any other parties. A resolu-
tion authorizing the president and secre-
tary to sign the agreement, and have it
attested by the burgess, was read three
times, all members voting for it,
A communication was read from the
Citizens Hose Company relative to pro-
curing more hose aud apparatus, also
urging upon council the necessity of
procuring an engine for Birvanton Hill,
as there is no pressure there. The
committee from the iiremen was present
and spoke in behalf of these demands,
and council discussed the matter
thoroughly. 1t was decided that the
question be referred to the fire com
mittee OF council for immediate investi-
CATION and to report at the next meet
ing. This committee was instructed to
purchase 500 feet of hose, one Jumper
and the necessary connections. Council
went into general discussion as to the
best means to provide protection for the
Hill, and the fire committeee was
further instructed to meet and recon-
mend some system by next Mondays
meeting.
The duty of the janitor as to the
cleaning and drying of hose after fire
was discussed, but action was postponed
until the next meeting, when the report
of the committee appointed to define his
duties will be presented.

ed-More Heavy Blows at Anthracite.
The following paragraphs on the coal
trade were taken from Philadelphia
papers on Tuesday, and seem to show
that the trust is preparing to take a
more active part in its business in the
future. However, if the reports of an
advance in price to consumers, restric-
tions of the August output and the
denial that the Reading and Lehigh
Valley locomotives intend to resume
using anthracite are true, the promised
boom will again become "A iizzle. These
are the kind of moves which have de-
pressed the trade, and will kill it COM
pletoly in a few years.
Philadelphia opinions are as follows
COAL RATES RESTORED.
The decentralization in the anthracite
coal trade in Chicago and the West will
probably be checked Immediately by the
coal trust, tho principals of which met
informally last Friday in the New York
offices of e. R. Holden, sales agent of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad and agreed that rates must
be restored at once. j. Pierpont Nor
gan was present. After much discus
sion it was agreed that Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western, which was the
first to start the rate-cutting in the
West, should restore rates and that the
other roads should, one by one, follow
suit. This plan was resorted to evade
the anti-trustlaw which prohibits agree
ments in restraint of trade. 1t is said
that the Reading road, under the order
of j. Pierpont Morgan, will be the first
to follow the lead of the Lackawanna.
