THAT CONSOLIDATION STORY.

"The past month has, like that which
preceded it, been filed with rumOrs of
impossible consultations and agree
ments whose absurdity was the clear
est proof of their falsity. 1t is safe to
assert that whatever changes may take
place in system or policy. they will be
in the nature of the introduction Of
rational business methods which will be
developed by time and necessity" says
the March letter Of the Anthracite Coal
Operators association.
THE groundwork upon which many
rumors have been based has been the
consolidation into one company, by
Simpson S Watkins, of their various
anthracite coal interests and the pur-
chase Of some additional and desirable
collieries. In order to accomplish this
the properties have been sold to stock
company, the Temple. Iron company, Of
which MIR. Watkins will be president,
and through this central company the
various interests formerly owned by
them, will be managed.
THE companies brought together
have been the Babylon Coal company,
Mt. Lockout Coal company, Forty Fort
Coal company, Edgerton Coal company,
Northwest Coal company, and the late
ly purchased Sterrick Creek Coal COM
pany, and Lackawanna Coal company.
The combined output of these collier
les in 1S9S was 1,3O0,0 900 tons and their

Jacob Neimucz was arrested at An
drew Karwins boarding house i'm Price
burg Saturday, taken to Wilkes Barre
and lodged in Jail to await trial on a
charge of having killed Frank Gran
owsky at Duryea Oct. 81, 1895. Thc
arrest was made by Detective Leyshon,
of Lackawanna county. and Detective
Johnson, of Luzerne county, assisted
by Constable Riddle, of Duryea, and
Barron and Dierks, of Priceburg. The
arrest was clever piece Of work as
there were several boarders in the
place at the time aud the man wanted
was being kept concealed by his COM
panions.
The crime for which Ncimuicz will
be tried was committed at Duryea and
grew out of political quarrel in a
hotel between Granowsky and two
friends and the accused man and his
friends. When Granowsky and his
friends left the hotel NcimuiC2, who
was waiting outside. is alleged to have
hurled "A stone which struck Granow
sky on the head and fractured his skull.
He died week afterward in the Pitts
ton hospital.
John Matanskley. John Maxim and
Joseph Tarontas were arrested at the
time for the crime. The first named
was acquitted after trial and the two
latter never were tried. 4 few weeks
ago Joseph Muller, of Priceburg, pris-
soner at the county Jail here, charged
with a henious crime, told Warden
Simpson that he knew where the man
was who killed Granowsky. Detective
Lcyshon saw Muller and got his story
and meanwhile District Attorney Mar

NO FRICTION WITH AUSTRIA.
Hazleton Claims Not Yet Settled
Rumor of Ambassador Denied.

Vienna, March 19.--The "Politische
Correspondent" discussing the effect
of the Hazleton shooting and the rala-
tions between Austria and the United
States, says that while perhaps the
published statement that no tension eX-
lists is true. the Austrian claims are
in no way settled by the United states
rejection.
The paper adds that the foreign min
lister intends to press what he consiG-
ers to be the just claims advanced IN
behalf of Austrian subjects, and says
that no decision has yet been reached
to convert the Austrian legation al
Washington into an embassy.

The Enterprise cOlliery, near Shamo-
kin, owned by the Enterprise Coal COM
pany. of which cX-MayOr Connell, of
this city, Is general manager, will re-
sumo operations this morning with an
increased force of wOrkmen. During
the idleness of this colliery, due to the
almost total destruction of the breaker
by q storm on Dec. last, many i'm
provements have been made. The
capacity and facilities for handling coal
have been greatly increased. Tho
breaker has been enlarged and new
and larger engines have replaced the
old ones
In addition to the outside improve
ments. the electric haulage inside has
been doubled. which will do away with
q large number Of mules. An electric
pump has been put in. and the pump
room, stables and turnouts will be
lighted 10y electricity. The Mammoth,
Skidmore and Buck Mountain veins
will be worked. They are all in excel
lent condition. The last named vein
has only recently been tapped and it
will prolong the life Of the Colliery for
years Co come,
There have been quite number OF
mining experts who have visited and
inspected the Colliery lately and they
all unite in pronouncing it model and
strictly up-to-date plant, and one of
the very best equipped I'm the anthra-
cite region" says the Shamokin Dis
patch. AN enormous sum. reaching to
thousands upon thousands of dollars
has been expended in the general inn
prOvemcnt of this Colliery and there Is
no doubt that under the skillful man
agement of Manager COnnell it will
handsomely repay in profits for the i'm
menSe outlay"

Owing to the number of teams met on
the road, Mr. Davis found it necessary to
have his bell in working order. and
stopped here to make a new spring and
running until he reached Buffalo The
run Of sixteen miles to Churchville was
made in fiftythree minutes. The road
was very good. though sandy in many
places and very heavy. At several points
repairs are in progress, and this makes
travel decidedly unpleasant. The roads
from here to Bergen and Byron are said
to be very heavy, but from there on they
are much better.
