The coal men today express them
selves as well pleased with the situa-
tion, which. they say is very salts
factory Beyond this they will not
go and definite news as to the alleged
combination Of interests representing
S300,00O000 of capital is not procurablc
at this time" said the New York Com
mercial Advertiser of last night.
80 far as can be learned the sit
uatiOn is this: An arrangement seems
to have been reached between the
leading railroads engaged in the coal
business: that is. between the Morgan
roads ON the one hand and the Van
dcrbilt lines on the other; the Lacka-
wanna, which has heretofore occupied
the position of free lance, making
and cutting rates without regard to
the other interests, having been
whipped in.
The arrangement was brought about
by the influence Of the large operators
who used the proposed independent
road from Scranton to New York.
known as the New York, Wyoming
and Western. Unless some unexpect-
ed obstacle to the present arrange
ment appears that road will not be
built. Simpson & Watkins. the largest
operators in Scranton, have merged all
their coal companies into one large
concern to he known as the Temple
Iron company. This Arm was one of
the principal hackers of the proposed
road, but Mr.. Watkins now says that
they have no further interest in It, as
there is no longer any necessity for it.
IN brief tho situation may be sum
med up in the words of the president
OF one of the coal companies. who said:
There are no papers in any formal con-
solidatior to he signed no combina- -
ton in the sense OF a trust and no
new company to take over the present
coal companies. except i'm the case Of
Individual operators. There is simply
community of interests among the
holders of the coal stocks whicn enables
them all to have a better understand
ing of the situation, thereby insuring
better business for all the coal proper
ties "

SCARLET FEVER IN JEssUP.
Neglected Child Dies from the Dis
ease After Five Days Sickness.

Coroner Roberts was notified yester-
day by an Olyphant undertaken of the
death of fifteen-months-ol child of
Frank Jadunsliy at Jessup. The child
was taken sick last Saturday, and the
family, being in poor circumstances,
the father went among his friends and
tried to raise money to secure the SER
vices of a doctor. and falling in this,
neglected the child. and 1t died We'd
nesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The coroner went to Jessup yester-
day and made an investigation. The
neighbors We're questioned, and il was
learned that several children were suf-
fering from what they supposed was
measles, but when Dr. Roberts investi-
gated, he found that they were suffer-
ing from scarlet fever and came to the
conclusion the child died from the ef-
feCtS OF that disease. He decided that
an inquest was not necessary and
granted a certificate of burial to the
parents,

AN ALDERMAN's IDENTITY.
What He Is, May Be, What He Was
Called and What He Did.

Il may be Republican. l am a
Presbyterian, but l am not a tramp"
quOth Major Mllar the genial and
long forbearing alderman of the Eighth
ward, last night. The first part Of his
statement was made mildly. the Sec
ond part positively. and the culmina-
tion vehemently. and John Myers, OF
West Scranton, was fined s. for in
sinuatng that the alderman was a
tramp. In default of the fine young
Myers was committed to Jail for thirty
days.
The above episode grew out OF a
case which was being heard by the
alderman in which Henry and James
Myers, brothers of John, were defend
ants. The latter was wont to make
short speeches anent the merits of the
case and other things at the most in
oppOrtune moment He was warned
of his danger several times but either
would or could not understand or had
never met the alderman before.
At one time he remarked to a spec
tatOr "Ill have a case before some
alderman myself yet" He did, for
in reply to the answer "Well, here's $
one now; you needn't go away" Myers
said in pompous manner: "Oh.
don't want any tramp trying cases for
me- How hath the mighty fall
en-" would tersely describe the events
which rapidly ensued and ended with
Myers committal.
The case itself was one Of larceny.
Robert Foster, the prosecutor, charged
James and Henry Myers with stealing
two hogs from his pen. The defend
ants Were held in 5000 bail each for
their appearance at court. The parties
