Superintendent Riddle. of the Atlantic
Coast Line was out Of the city yesterday
and no information could be gotten from
the employees of the company last nisht
as to whether the balance OF the coal
had been released. But the situation mas
been relieved. and the company feels that
the crisis is past.
AT THE GAS WORKS.
Superintendent w. p. Knowles OF the
gas works said yesterday afternoon that
there was no immediate danger of having
10 close down the gas works on account
of lack of coal.
Mr. Knowles is leaving nothing undone
10 secure coal. and is putting himself 10
no end of personal inconvenience to get
the fuel. He says: It's coal what l
want and not the quality nor how l get
it." The railway companies cannot get
the cars. and he has had to put up with
fat bottom cars. which have TO be show
eled out instead of dumping. as the case
would be with the hopper cars.
Mr.. Knowles says the local dealers have
been looking out for him, and that he
has every reason to believe that they will
do so IN the future.
FOR FIREMEN'S USE.
We have moro coal on hand for steam
ing purposes now than ever before in the
history of the fire department" was the
statement of President John II. Frischliorn
OF theBoard Of Fire Commissioners, to a
reporter Of the Dispatch last evening. Mr..
F'rischkorn declared that one thing that
had troubled the board was where to find
room to store the coal. II the city should
have no more fires in the next year than
it has had in the past six months, the de-
partment will have all that is needed with
out additional purchases.

Mine-owners May Enjoin Operators.

BANGOR, ME-, Oct. sc. NJ. Holman,
of this city. who is part ownersin coal
mines in Pennsylvania, of which the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany are lessees; is considering the CUES
ton of making application to the courts
for an injunction to compel the coal
operators to open mines and resume
operations al once. AS the property is
leased on a royalty. Mr.. Holman says
that no income has been derived since
the mines were shut down and that the
actual owners of the mines are among
the principal sufferers from the strike.
He says also that a great many people
are in sympathy with the strikers but
are helpless, at least in Pennsylvania,
as the courts have held that the lessees
have full CONTROL e 80 *
Mr.. Holman has wired President.
Roosevelt that the interest of the own
ers entities them to representation in

RISING LAST NIGHT.

Late last night reports indicated that
the river was still rising. and it was
impossible for any official to say just
when the trains would again be making
the regular runs The condition is Sc
rious, as it affects nearly all of the fast
northern trains. breaking up their sched-
uleS.
Should no washouts occur. trains may
again use the track tonight. From an
old postal clerk, however, it was learned
that the made" ground on which the
track is elevated sometimes becomes soy
gy or undermined from the muddy tor
rents, and should the weight of trains
be added there is danger of the track
getting out Of plumb. or even of the
train becoming derailed. For this rea :
son the inconvenience of sending trains
around by the long route may be contin-
ued until the freshet subsidies.
LATE NORTHERN MAILS.
The northern mails to-day probably will
be three or four hours late, as these
mail trains, making the long circuit.
will have much longer distance to
cover, and, further, will not have the
right of way over the regular Chesa-
peake and Ohio and Southern trains, but
will be sidetracked when interfering with
the scheduled trains. Mail due here at
$40 A. NJ. if the track is not cleared.
may be expected about noon.
The rains for the last few days are
said to have been very heavy along the
headwa ters of the NIattaponi. While this
spot is one of the weakest along the
whole line. it is seldom that the freshets
in that river stop traffic completely as
this flood has done
Trouble, without serious inconvenience,
was last night reported along the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad. At Mauch
Chunk. or the stream called the Greek OF
the Dead" by Amelie -Rives. the water
stood one foot on the tracks. compelling
the trains to move through the water. At
Columbia. however. the water was re.
ported falling and the danger past The
washout reported from Lynchburg did not
seriously delay traffic.
