ROCK ISLANDS BUSINESS.

W. G. Purdy, president of the Chicago. Rock
Island and Pacific, said yesterday:
So far July business has been ahead of last wear
The increase can be attributed to better grain and
live stock movement. General merchandise going
into the West is less in volume than a wear ago
Advancing tendency in prices of last year induced
heavy demand for nearly everything Now con-
dtiOns are quite the reverse If ANYTHING for lower
prices. and buyers hold off for decline Movement
Is satisfactory, however, and we look for eradnai
betterment season advances "

RESIGNATION OF T.H.wATK1Ns
Will Retire from Presidency Of
Temple Iron Company.

It was announced from Philadelphia
yesterday that the resignation OF T.
II Watkins from the presidency of the
Temple Iron company, which has been
expected for several months, is to &c
into effect January !. next. He Is to
be succeeded by George +. Baer, of the
directorate of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad company, who Is
now vice president of the Temple
company.
Mr. Watkins is out of the city but
at the Temple company's offices IN
this city confirmation of the Philadel-
phia announcement was given.
1t Is Mr.. Watkins intention to re-
lieve himself as much as possible from
his anthracite coal business that he
may devote his time and energies to
btuminous coal. He is the moving
spirit in large company which is en-
gagged in developing extensive soft
coal tracts in West Virginia and
Western Pennsylvania, and after the
first Of the coming year 1t is his pur-
post to give these a great deal OF his
attention.
1t Is further stated in the Phila-
delphia dispatches that the Morgan
people, WHO COnCTOl VHe IeInple iIOIi
company, are to buy up rs many as
possible Of the better collieres of the
Lackawanna and Wyoming region and
turn them over to the Temple COM
pany.
The main purpose of buying up OF
the independent collieres is the same
as that which obtained in the pur-
chase of the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany--the removal of constantly
disturbing element from the coal
world and the better harmonizing OF
it's various interests. Once in full con-
troll OF the situation, it is said, the
Morgan people will move to make an
allotment of territory which each
company is to serve, 50 as to do away
with the demoralizing competition
which now piles up expense and cuts
down prices at every big market.
This thing, it is thought, is just as
feasible as the allotment scheme by
which the output is regulated and the
ruinous overstocinkg of the market
prevented.

this SHOPLIFTER
WAS PARTICULAR
Woman Tried to Exchange Piece of
Alleged Stolen Dress Goods at
Goldsmith's Bazaar.

A woman who gave her name as
Mrs. Walsh and her residence as South
Scranton was arrested in Goldsmith's
Bazaar last night, where she was
trying to exchange a piece of goods
which she is alleged to have taken
away on Monday. She was released
from the central station last night
OH bail and will be given hearing
before Alderman NIillar this morning.
She was noticed about the store
Monday afternoon acting in rather
suspicious manner, and after she left
the store the cderk at one of the dress
goods counters discovered that u valu-
able piece of material was missing.
This was reported to the head of the
department, and all the employees in
the store We're instructed 20 keep a
sharp outlook for the peculia riy acting
dame.
About 6:45 o'clock last night wo-
man approached one Of the dress
goods counters, and remarked: "If you
are willing, I'd like to exchange this
piece of material" She handed over Il
neatly tied parcel, which, on being
opened, was found to contain yhe
goods, which the clerk Immediately
recognized as the Oles which We're re-
ported missing.
A sharp scrutiny of the woman, unl
a hurried nod to the tioo walker fo!-
lowed, and an instant later Mrs; Walsh
was being subjected to a rapid Cross
examination as to how she obtained
the material. She was unable to an
swer satisfacto ''ly. and Patrolman
MalOtt was called in and escorted her
to the central station whar4 she re-
mained until fri@nls secured bail for
her appearance IN police court this
morning.

MRS. SMITH DISCHARGED.
In scalding Eva spangenburg She
Acted in Self Defense.

Mrs. Jennie Smith, Of Oakford court,
was arraigned before Alderman Howe
yesterday and dismissed on the charge
of scalding Mrs. Eva Spangenburg.
The latter received treatment at the
Lackawanna hospital Tuesday for her
injuries, as told in yesterdays Trib-
une.
1t seems that the Spangenburg wo-
man was released from the county
jail Tuesday morning, after serving u
twenty days sentence, imposed by
Mayor Moir. On leaving the county
Bastile Mrs Spangenburg called upon
Mrs. Smith and asked if Mr.. Spangen-
burg was anywhere about the prem
ises.
She was answered in the negative,
at which, 1t is alleged that she grew
indignant, expressed disbelief Of Mrs.
Smiths veracity and smashed a door,
whereat Mrs. Smith norc!alantly
seized q kettle of boiling water and
gently doused Eva with 1t. The lat
ter, by no means daunted, then threw
an axe through the kitchen window,
after which she withdrew to the Lack
awanna hospital, where her scalds
were dressed. The warrant was then
issued, but Alderman Howe yester-
day decided that Mrs. Smiths action
was justifiable.
