pany cars and to cease discrilnina-
tion against the coal company in the
matter Of shipment.
The court opened at 10 O'Clock as
usual. but the attorneys requested
time and after talking among them
selves some time retired to the
judges private room with officials
Of both companies, where. from the
amount Of laughter heard from with
ont. a very pleasant conference was
held. AT 1880 they all came into
the court room smiling and appar-
emily as happy as larks in spring
time. Attorney W. A. Glasgow. Of
Philadelphia, Who. 80 successfully
and strongly conducted the case foN
the Red Rock Fuel company. and
Logan NJ. Bullitt, president Of the
Red Rock Fuel company, were es-
pecially happy, and of right had
cause TO rejoice, for it was virtually
agreed that the railroad company
would grant everything the Red
Rock Fuel company had asked for.
Nor did the railroad officials and
ATTORNEYS look. at all detected.
Mr. Glasgow addressed himself to
The court in brief statement saw
ing that the railroad company's con-
tention was that the matters involy-
"a should be subject to mutual agree
ment between the parties. and not
for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the courts, while the
position Of tho Red Rock Fuel COM
pany was and had been all along that
ihe commission and the courts had a
perfect right and jurisdiction in
such matters. He stated farther
that in the conference there had de-
Nclopcd sentiment toward salts
factory agreement, and moved that
the case be Continued ten days or
two weeks pending a satisfactory
settlement
Second Vice President Hugh
Bond, Jr., chief counsel for the rail-
road company, stated to the court
that as "a result Of the conference the
parties would more than likely agree,
and that il was understood the case
would be dismissed, but continuance
was asked % protect both sides. This
was assented to by Mr.. Glasgow,
and the court directed the.cae to be
duly docketed here and granted a
continuance until notice or day set
by the court
II Is understood and practically
admitted that the Red Rock Fuel
company has been promised every
thing il asked for and that the
agreement was practically closed at

One man who lives somewhere with
in the city limits has learned by eN-
pericncc that il is a very unWlSe tnlilS
to strike or kick another mans dog,
cvca though he does so at the request
Of another party. The experience
came to him On Grove street few
days ago. Two teams were passing up
the street, and with the rear ore was Il
dog of the "yallcr'' V2ricty which per-
sisted in harrassng the driver of the
first team by barking at his horse.
The man shouted at the dog to stop.
but it did no good and the animal kept
up his claInor as if he We're having the
time of his life. Near the junction of
State and Grove street the team met a
third one, and the worried man be-
sought the newcomer to hit the dog
with his whip as he had none of his
own. The newcomer Was-One of those
obliging men who will do anything for
| Il friend, and leaning from his sled he
gave the dog a cut with his whip that
changed the animals voice from tenor
to high soprano and sidetrackcd the
whole current of his thoughts. so that
| with tail between his legs he fled down
TIL" road. About this time the owner
Of the dog arrived on the scene, hot
with indignation. and asked: what in
blankcty blank the man had struck his
dog for. One word brought on another
and a war cloud of large proportions
was lowering over the group when the
| man who had been the cause of the
| trouble discovered that he had no time
to continue the argument and drove
away. leaving the other two to have il
out between themselves. No blows
| were struck but the man who struck
the dog was the recipient Of some good
advice. and it is doubtful if he hits any
more dogs for other parties for some
| time.
