Club Cars for Commuters.

The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad is arranging to run
club cars for the bencnt of its COM
mutcrs to and from New York, many
of whom were recently deprived OF
their daily games of cards on the trains
through the interference Of Anthony
Comstock. On the club cars, which
will be conducted on much the same
lines as a club, such interference will
be impossible. Regarding the new
system on the Lackawanna division,
Superintendent DePuy says
Several other railroads are running
club cars, and they have been fairly
successful. our company will run
such cars on express trains on the var
ious suburban branches of the road.
They VIII probably be run to Norris
town and similar stations. They will
be vestibule cars, and each subscriber
will pick out a seat, which he may re-
serve for himself during an entire sea
SON. BY the system OF subscription
men who are acquainted with one an
other will be able to get seats togeth-
er. Each chair will be single seat,
and all unpleasant crowding will thus
be avoided These cars will be run
within thirty to sixty days"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Tho meeting of the literary society
which was postponed last Friday was
held Monday with its new president, Mr.
IIooven, in the chair. The main subject
which was discussed by the members re.
lated to the contest which will take place
betu cen the society and that Of the Car
bel dale high school on the second OF
March. a committee was appointed for
the purpose of soliciting prizes from
amonS the merchants of the city. This
contest will undoubtedly be similar to
the one held ut Carbondale last year.
The members of the society are doing
their utmost to make this occasion very
interesting and entertaining, and those
who will be selected to take part in tho
programme will be the best talent that
the society is able to put forth. The
lately organized Quartette composed of
Messrs Frear, Burns, Grant and Allen.
rendered a selection In a very competent
manner, for which they received hearty
applause. 1t was decided to have an ad-
mission fee of 10 cents charged for the
exercises in March.
The result of last weeks examinations
was made known to most of the classes
on Monday morning and as result some
of the students left the class rooms with
downcast looks. while others were dis
missed with the radiance of joy pictured
on their cOuntenancc. Nevertheless sv-
cry student was satisfied that the cx-
animation was fair and the tests the best
that could possibly have been selected.
The greater part of Mondays session
was given to the teachers to inform
their several classes considering their
grades both for the half years work and
also for the examinations.
Hon. William ConEcll has again proved
himself very liberal toward the school.
When the committee appointed by the
| society to solicit prizes from the promi-
nent men of the city approached Mr.. Con-
nell to procure prize, they were al
most astounded when he said that he
would give a solid gold medal to the
person who renders the best grafton on
March 2.

tendent Loomis that the company is
disposed to treat their employees with
every consideration possible. but when
a few boys cause a suspension Of oper-
ations, and necesstate the closing down
OF a colliery, without even notifying
the foreman, they propose to have
something to say about 1t.
The colliery will now be started up
at the convenience of the company. and
the drivers will return to work as
usual, and whatever difficulties arise
In the future they have been given to
understand that it is not necessary to
quit work. but to apply to the proper
authorities for redress.
The drivers claim that their wages
have been reduced from $l.35 to $l.27
per day, and that they we're not paid
the same scale that was being paid in
the other collieries. The matter was
amicably adjusted and when the COM
pany decides to start the colliery the
men will return to work.

Drivers Settle Grievance.

A committee Of drivers from the Cen
tral mine waited on Superintendent
Loomis. OF the Lackawanna coal de-
partment, yesterday afternoon to ad-
just alleged grievances which the
drivers claim have arisen through a
difference in the scale of wages paid at
different collieries.
The committee were given to under
stand that their action in quitting
work without notifying the officials
and thus causing the colliery to be
shut down, was unwarranted and with
out just cause. and when the matter
was clearly presented to them, it put
a different phase on the situation.
The demand for coal is light at pres

shut down at present, there is a likeli-
hood Of 1t remaining idle for some time

were scored in the railway list also. Little

connection with the movements in pa ticu-

In the railway list the strongest foatu es
were Missouri Pacific. Norfolk and West

Aside from those cases. declines were fairly
common. The local traction issues were
actively dealt in. and were firm, notably
for Manhattan and Metropolitan Street

peared in the industrial quarter could not
be accounted for by any new developments
bearing upon these stocks. but. neveIthe
less, the losses scored were extensive.
For the most part the transactions in the
railway list resulted in fractional declines,

were exceeded. AS noted the day was vir-
