TO CUT EXPENSES.
Several positions heretofore conf
manding fancy salaries VIII be dis
covered as no longer filling long-felt
want and will be abandoned or re-
solved into mere clerkships. There viii
be consolidation of duties hitherto
divided among several superintend-
ents. thus cutting Off another material
source of expense.
As to the future OF the coal business
in this region. a prominent citizen
closely in touch with the greatest in
terests of the city said on Saturday:
There will be no more buying up
the property of individual operators at
fancy prices. The operators who have
held on to their coal enterprises would
be ounces to sell now to the big cor
porations. Since the adoption of the
81 per cent contract, the men who have
not sold will find that they can make
good profits. as they are protected by
the big companies.
You will notice." he continued, that
there is little more talk of the remain
ing mines being sold to the carrying
companies. The coal properties of f..
l.. Fuller. William Connell & Co.,
Brooks d Dale, and others are not now
daily reported as about to be trans
ferred. I believe some of the men who
have sold are now sorry. even though
they may have received a high figure.
AS for the periodical cry that the coal
in this valley is nearly exhausted, we
need not worry about 1t during the
present century. when the subsequent
proceedings viii probably interest us
no more.
There Is coal enough here to make
great many men rich and to furnish
sustenance and comfort for thousands
of workingmen and their families.
I'm this respect we are entering upon
an era of uneXampled prosperity for
Scranton. as there is a prospect that
the conditions will be so controlled
that there will be little opportunity for
friction and consequent uncertainty"

There is much speculation as to the
probable local effects of the great an
thracite and railway combinations. The
changes have recently been so rapid
and so momentous that they make
the head whirl. A gentleman promi-
nently connected with one of the rail-
roads which has been heavy fac

the past few weeks. remarked the
other day: Every morning we get up
wondering whom we are working for
today. We can't pretend to keep track
of the changes. They are simply
paralyzing."
Some of these big deals have been
accomplished in an incredibly bret
space of time. Locally, the sale Of
the Mount Pleasant colliery. from
start to finish, really occupied but a
few minutes. The owners when first
approached had no more idea Of SELL
ing their mines than of selling their
families.

RESTRICTIONS ON TREASURER.
To Pay Out Money Recommended By The
New Board of County Com
missioners.

The newly elected board of county
commissioners OF Anne Arundel county
met here yesterday and rescinded their
action of last week. when they notified
The Farmers National Bank not to honor
any checks drawn by b. Allen Welch.
who was elected county treasurer by the
old board OF county commissioners, who
claim that they are the valid officials.
The action of the new board was taken
because they have been advised by coun
sci that the honoring of these checks will
not affect their claim to office, which
matter is now before the Court, and be-
cause they did not wish to tie up the
finances of the county and to hamper
public business. Yesterdays action was
not taken without some trouble. In fact,
only six members OF the seven were pres.
ent during the morning, and as there
were three to three on the question OF re-
scinding their action. nothing could be
done in the matter.
However, Basil A. Cromwell, the re.
naming member, arrived in the after.
noon and sided with those favoring the
proposition that Mr.. Welch, the de facto
officer, should be allowed to draw the
checks. This leaves Messrs. Brown
Steele and Cheston, the present commits
sioners, with full power to carry on the
business of the county and to pay ou,
money for county purposes. There has
been no agreement on any other matter,
and the whole question between the two
boards will be lett to the courts.
