new '1Ork, OCt. 4G.-hepOItS tNdL d
plan has been arranged for putting the
cor troll of the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific railroads in the hands
of an Independent proprietary COM
yesterday and, although lacking Of
fetal confirmation, We're widely dis
cussed as within the range of probable
ity.
The statement came from a usually
we'll informed source that the finan-
ciers now in control of the two great
railways purposed turning over their
holdings of stock to a new company
formed on the lines of the Oregon
Trancontinental company which Hen
ry Willard organized to take the stocks
Of the old Northern Pacific company
and the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton company. 1t is asserted that J. J..
Hill has practically formulated a plan
for the consideration of the owners Of
the properties concerned.
Terms of the Merger.
The terms of the proposed merger
provide. according to report, that the
Great Northern stock shall be trans
ferred to the new company at 200 and
the Northern Pacific at 1875. There are
also rumors that the Northern Pacific
preferred stocks are to be retired.
Although the differentiation laws
Of Minnesota, Washington and the in
termediate states traversed by these
two great transcontinental railways
are comprehensive and strict. eminent
lawyers have expressed the opinion
that there Is no legal reason why an
Independent corporation should not
have custody of a majority of the
stock of the two roads. The railways
must be operated separately as COM
peting lines, however. Objections to
such a merger as is talked of are likely
to be raised under the laws of Mime
sofa at any rate, and the legality of a
single ownership for the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific would
probobly have to be determined in the
courts. .. ..
$4,000 Miles of Railroad.
Should the control of these two rail-
ways be vested in one company that
company would actually control 1S,000'
miles of railway, for ownership of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
includes ownership of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy road. Great
Northern has mileage of 5,441. North
ern Pacific 1872 and the Burlington
1887.
The head of the new company will be
r. .. Underwood, president of the Erie
railroad. Mr.. Underwood is now in st.
Paul. where he is going over the de-
tails of the plan with Mr.. HILL A full
official announcement of the details is
expected soon after Mr.. Morgan's re-
turn from San Francisco.

For a New County.

The Philadelphia Times this morning
says that ''if plans do not miscarry and
enough votes can be mustered to do it,
the state of Pennsylvania will have a
new county, and it will be named after
United States Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay.
The campaign, with this end in view,
is in the hands of Henry w. Haworth,
member of the state house of represen-
tatives from Luzerne county. Mr.
Haworth is the chairman of the com
mittee on counties and townships, and
at present he is exceedingly busy pre-
pairing bill, which he will introduce
shortly, creating the county of Quay out
of portions of Luzerne and Schuylkill
counties, and making Hazleton the
county seat.
ut will be remembered that during
the session OF 1895 a bill identical in
character was passed creating new
county to be called Halle. 1t was ve-
toed, however, by Governor Hastings,
but it is said Governor Stone will sign
Mr. Haworth's bill, il it is passed."

TO CURE THE GRIP.


First and foremost, REST.
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
have 1t. If the attack is severe, go to
bed and remain there. More fatalities
result from neglect of this precaution
than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs
are in no condition to take care of large
quantities of food
Drink plenty of pure, cold water. 1t
allays the fever, stimulates the kidneys
to action and opens up the pores of the
skin. Keep the bowels open with DR..
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills
Take three doses of DR.. Miles Nervine
per day, and If you cannot sleep take an
extra dose at bedtime. To further con-
troll the fever, and to overcome the pc
culiar aches and pains of the grip, use
DR.. Miles Pain Pills. They act quickly
and effectually, and no bad effects result
from their use. These remedies have
been thoroughly tested more than a
million times, and their efficiency is
thoroughly established. They never
fail to give relief
DR., Miles Remedies can be found at
any drug store, and they are sold on a
positive guarantee that first bottle or
package benefits or money refunded.

MINERS WANT
CONFERENCE
Anthracite Operators to Be
Invited by the Men.
United Mine Workers Ask
That a Fixed Wage Basis
Be Arranged for the En-
tire Region.

In the national convention of the
United Mine Workers, at indianapolis,
two resolutions have been practically
agreed to by the entire scale committee.
anthracite and bituminous. One of
them makes it obligatory upon the ma
tional officers of the organization to in
vite the anthracite operators into con-
ference early in March, and the other
aims at the establishment of a fixed
wage basis for the entire region, and
particularly for the Wyoming and
Lackawanna valleys.
The action of the convention in ex-
tending this invitation excited consider
able interest in the anthracite region.
1t is said that should the conference be
held the miners will ask for scale that
will increase their wages over that paid
now.
The leaders of the United Mine Work.
ers, however, do not apprehend any
trouble. They say the operators now
recognize that the men are more strongly
organized than ever and that the big
coal companies would be the losers in
case of a lockout
1t is also pointed out that the COM
panies did not lose anything by the last
strike. They gave the men 10 per
cent increase in wages and then added
so cents ton to the price of coal
A partial report from the telers at
the national convention shows that there
will be some change in the national
executive board of this year, and that
one additional member will come from
the anthracite region. In the votes, so
far counted, Fred. Dilcher, of Scranton,
who took prominent part in the an
thracite strike, is well down on the list.
