THIS AND THAT.

The White Oak mine of the Della
ware and Hudson company at Arch
bald on Thursday reached the high
water mark in it's history, when ten
hundred and twenty-three tons were
cleaned and made ready for shipment.
The change of time to take place
today by eastern lines in shortening
the mail train service from Washing
ton, New York. Boston and all points
east Of Chicago and st. Paul, will be
ON the same date continued to Omaha
and Denver by the change made in the
schedule of the Great Northern rail
way, that company having decided 10
put on two limited trains on that day.
Today the Big -Four will discontinue
its passenger line between Cincinnati
and Toledo and Detroit. This will
leave the field entirely To the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton road. The
Big -Four opened the line, about two
years ago last fall. The route was
over the Big Four Ohio Central and
Lake Shore roads. II is likely that
the road has been discontinued by mu-
tual agreement.
The manager of the PENNSYLVANIA S
southwestern system has been inform
ed that arrangements have been made
for 1000 more freight cars for these
lines, 700 to he gondolas and 300 fiat
cars. Since June / the Pennsylvania
iines have received forty-fve hun
drcds new cars and contracts now
out are for three thousand more.
Engineers and tiremen on the Chi
cago ana Erie who hereafter desire
to Law off on account of sickness will
be required To produce a certificate
from a physician st2ting they are un-
fit tor duty

INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Condition of Coal Trade at Close OF
Year Some Changes in d.
g. H. Company's Force
of Mine Foremen.

The anthracite trade is closing the
year in decidedly better shape than
il was year ago" says the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal. The uneX-
peCtedly heavy demand from the west
and the cold weather that has pre-
vailed over much of the country since
the November blizzard have in COM
bination kept stocks from accumulat-
ing though the various companies
failed to keep faith this year regard
ing outputs as in the past, and COM
plete demoranzatiOn was in sight. IN
the west demand continues good, both
at the lead of the lakes and in Chi
cago territory, where prices are to be
advanced 25 cents IAN. /.
'In the east there has been little
change in the situation. Retail bus
mess is brisk, but retailers buy from
hand to mouth, and though cold wealth
er Keeps stocks low, prices for the
larger sizes are no better. The steam
sizes are taking their annual advance
and will be in short supply at higher
figures until spring. There has been
little talk Of combinations or agree
ments this week, nor ayIning about
an advance of so cents ton or so Jan.
]. Production this month is reported
to be somewhat lighter than last, but
the months output is likely to exceed
4.OOOOOO tons. So long as the weather
is cold and the consumption active no
attempt to control production is likely"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-01-02

Notwithstanding the cold weather
Saturday afternoon, several hundred
persons collected at WagnerS field to
witness the test of the new chemical
engine lately purchased by the borough
for the use of the Neptune Fire COM
pany So hot was the test fire that it
was impossible to stand for more than
q few seconds within a radius of fifty
feet of the flames. Nevertheless. the
engine proved as warranted, equal to
the occasion, doing the work of sub
DUNG the flames in a remarkable short
time. while the Onlookers showed their
appreciation by applauding.
A wooden structure. to represent
house. had been constructed during the
day. 1t was sixteen feet high, twelve
feet long and twelve feet wide. In the
interior were piles of wood arranged
around the sides to give it a good start
All was saturated with Kerosene oil Al
4.45 o'clock, when Councilman Weber
chairman of the fire committee. gave
the signal to turn on the chemical com
pound, the wind was blowing almost
Il gale, causing the fire to roar in a
manner which threatened the dcstruc-
esen of the structure before it would be
placed under control
when the word was given. Mr.. Rudy,
agent Of TN" Racine company, attacked
the flames with -quarter-inch
stream, while the generator. only one
being used. registered $50 pounds pres
sure. In thirty seconds after the stream
had been turned on the flames were
under control while but five gallons of
compound had been used.
To further test the engine, another
fire was started, Chief Hickey. of the
Scranton fire department, giving the
signal to commence work upon the
burning building. If ever a fire rOared
and cracked, sending the flames up in
a fierce sheet. it was this one; for when
the word was given the heat at dis
tance of twenty-five yards was unbear-
able. Mr.. Rudy as before manipulated
the nozzle, but so hot was the fire that
just as he had it we'll in hand he was
compelled to withdraw, being almost
overcome by the heat and his face badly
blistered.
CHIEF Hickey. who had been standing
in the crowd watching the proceedings,
saw that Mr.. Rudy was being badly
scorched and pushed forward and
caught the nozzle from the others
hand. He directed the stream upon the
flames until they We're subdued, which
was within three minutes. Less than
twenty-five gallons Of chemicals We're
used. Like his predecessor, Chief
Hickey received q blistering. His
clothes were almost ruined. He was
repaid for his act by a deafening ap-
-plause, long and often repeated.
Following the successful test. the
members of the council present Messrs
Midway. Weber, NcAllister, McCOl-
Tough and Jones, held a consultation in
the fire rooms and formally accepted
the engine. as it had done the work re-
Quircd in q satisfactory manner.
Among the out-of-tOwn firemen and
visitors present were: Simon Thomas,
chairman of SCrantons joint fire de-
partment committee, and Engineer
James George, of the Phoenix Chemi-
cal company, Of Scranton.

connection with the company for many
years. Mr. Nicol served the company
at Olyphant and Archibald, but Tor
