INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Strike Has as Yet Made Little Differ.
ence in the Work at the Local
Railroad Shops.

Thus far the strike among the coal
miners has had little or no effect on
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern shops in this city. A full force of
men are at work in the various de-
partments and, if anything. there is an
increased amount of work on hand,
owing to the repair work necessary on
the rolling stock.
The various improvements under
way are being rapidly completed, and
the changes around the machine shops
recently noted in The Tribune are now
almost finished. Ground was broken
yesterday for the erection of u new
pattern and cabinet shop, between the
mill room and the foundry. The struc-
ture will be 50X126 feet, one story, fif-'
teen feet high, of wood, with CORFU
gated iron sidings.
The work will be done by the Grace,
HYDE Co., of New York, and will be
under the direction of the bridge and
building department. The pattern and
cabinet work is now done in a room
over the saw-mill which is made
quate for the purpose.
Another improvement which has not
been noted is the substitution of a
pneumatic elevator for the trestling
near the foundry, which greatly facili-
tates the work of hauling scrap iron
from the yard to the foundry.

This and That.

w. p. Hunter industrial agent of the
Lackawanna railroad, was in tie city
yesterday.
The Pullman sleeper Dansville, which
has just been renovated at the Lacka-
wanna car shops, was sent to Hoboken
yesterday on the afternoon milk train.
None but the coal carrying crews
have been affected on the Lackawanna
railroad by the strike. the freight and
passenger crews being kept busy as
usual.
1t is a noticeable fact that on sew
eral of the engines on the Lackawanna,
Central and Delaware and Hudson
roads soft coal is being burned. Al
the Cliff works, car shops and other
shops the soft coal is used, and even
the cooks on the new LaCkawanna din
ing cars are burning it in their ranges.

Comon Pleas Court.

The only case of any consequence
tried in common pleas court yester-
day was the trespass suit of j. ID.
Stocker against the borough of JCr-
myn. The borough council of Jermyn
passed a resolution for the grading of
Bacon and Main streets, in the bor-
ough. Mr.. StoCker owns a property
Mt the intersection of these streets
and he alleges that it was greatly
damaged by the grading, the street
along the side and front being cut
down amounts ranging from ten to
forty inches.
The case is being tried before Judge
Searle in the Supreme court room,
and Mr.. Stocller is represented by
Attorney J. II. Torrey. The counsel
for the borough is II. w. Mulholland
and A, j. Colborn, jr. While on the
stand, Mr.. StoCker testified that his
property was damaged TO the extent
of $1,jOO at least. The borough con-
tends that the property was benefited
rather than injured by the grading
of the streets. The jury went to Jer-
myn late in the afternoon to view the
property.
In the case of Patrick Burke against
NJ. +. Wymbs tried on Monday. a ver-
dict of SS.GS was yesterday returned in

ground surrounding the school and
when the occasion for their erection
was over they could be moved to some
other district. They are large enough
to accommodate about sixty pupils and
are very substantially constructed.
They cost $3.50 apiece, and here is
where Mr.. Leonard says the saving
would come in. There are at present
seven annexes in use, the yearly rental
being $3.50. BY purchasing seven of
the portable annexes at total cost of
$3.50, Mr.. Leonard says the district
could be saved nearly $1,000 in ten
years.
He is very enthusiastic about the
idea and is determined to have the
matter taken up by the building COM
