CARPENTERS TAKE UP WORK ON THE STATION ANNEX Carpenters took possession of the annex to 'the Union Station yesterday and placed in position the large window and door frames. They also put in the ioists connecting with the iron girders between the first and Everv record for car movement in second floors. The annex is going tip the history of the Middle Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad was broken yesterday. Reports showed that 7,033 cars were moved. These figures made a record which is destined to stand for a long time.

The best previous record for one day was on September 22, 1000, when 7,029 cars were moved. Considering that within the past two years the capacity of many cars has been increased from pounds to 100.000 pounds some idea can be obtained of the increase in the tonnage. The rush yesterday was due to the large shipments of bituminous coal. Because of this traffic it is the opinion of the railroad officials that the present month will show a total of cars moved that will be another record breaker. On account of the heavy freight movement, all engineers in the East and West yards have been ordered to work to morrow, except the shop engines.

In addition to these engines a third extra engine has been ordered for duty at FI until further notice. rapidly and if the weather continues favorable it is expected the new building will be under oof within the next three weeks.

SAM BRYANT NEARS END OF HIS LAST RACE Louisville, June 28. fiam Bryant, the noted turfman, who has been very ill of dropsy for some months past, lapsed into unconsciousness yesterday afternoon and tcie attending physicians fear he will not survive an other diy.

He attended the American Derby in 'Chicago last Saturday. After numerous postponements and lelays the Highspire case was argued before Judges Simonton and. Weiss this morning. Since the first petition was presented requesting the court to make Highspire a bor ough a number of complications have arisen because of the exceptions and answers filed to and against the original papers. The argument was long and varied and at last the Court took the papers and a decision will be anxiiusly awaited.

This morning Attorneys John Fox Weiss and Phillip T. Meredith, representing the Highspire Distillery Company and other property owners, argued on their exceptions to the findings of the commissioner, Paul A. Kunkel, who, dn his report, modified the lines as originally agreed upon. They also excepted to any decree which the Court might make, but on this point were told by the Court that they were in error. Their clients want borough territory to in clude all the.

lines as originally asked by the petitioners, which will take in a portion of the' Pennsylvania Steel Company's land and the property of George Cumbler left out by the commissioner. Attorneys Robert Snodgrass and W. F. Darby opposed the petition on be half of The Pennsylvania Steel Company and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, presenting certain legal points and asserting that the application for a borough charter had not been properly published. Thejr also claimed that because of the numerous improvements now in progress at great expense it would work a hardship to include this property at this time.

President, Roosevelt has requested Attorney General Knox to make an exanvtna? tioi. of the tcts connected the so cal'led anthracite coal trust, or combination. This is with a view to aiseertai nijig the exact legal of the grert railroads and coal companies that are acting in harmony for the purpose of regum.ting the price of coal, miners' wages, etc. This does not necessarily mean that the Attorney General will proceed egainst the coal combination, as he has alreriy done against the Northern Securities Company and the Beef 'Trust. Hut the chances are that action will be taken when the whole question has been thoroughly examined.

Matters are certainly crystallizing in that direction, although the President told callers that he not made up his mind one way ox the other. The President has in his possession the report of Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of Labor, who made on investigation for Mr. Roosevelt of the matters in dispute between, the coal operators and miners. The President declined to discuss the report, saying that he did not know whether it would be made public or not.

This is entirely aside from the problem which is occupying1 the attention of the Attorney Genera The question that he has to answer is, "Docs the combination or agreement existing between six railroads that control a large percentage of the anthracite production and haul it oil to market constitute a combination for the fixing of prices and the regu lri'ion of interstate commerce?" It has been alleged that these rails road's, through their presidents, agree that one price of coal shall prevail at different points; that the sales agents of the roads meet at stated. with to the letter. They intimated periods and fix the price of ooal; that that they were favorable to the faots as found by the commissioner. Mes.de D. Detweiler.

appeared for 'Squire J. F. Klugh, of Highspire, the original petitioner, and asked that the original petition be granted. He argued that the land excluded by the commissioner as farm land had not been used for farming for some time and did not come within the law covering that point lie al so argued that a greater portion of the land now occupied by the Steel Company had always been considered as a part of the village. Because of the numerous papers it will be some time before an opinion from the court can be looked for.

1UU2. ESTAULISIIED 1S31. VOL. LXXL, SO. 151 i a i A is Ki ia i i 7 si ki ra es hs JULY'S GOOD PROSPECTS Plenty of Work if the Coal Can Be Had.

JUNE A VERY BUSY MONTH No Labor Troubles and Many Orders Make Conditions Good for the Summer. The scarcity of coal and materials is beginning to he felt in this city, but so far has caused comparatively little annoyance beyond advances in prices and delays in delivery. All of the mills were in operation during June nnd prospects for July are excellent except for fuel. The month of June was a busy one at the Pennsylvania Steel Works and work on the new departments went ahead rapidly although operations at some mills were, retarded by the slowness of delivery of coal and inability to get steel and iron promptly. The company has been endeavoring to work all the departments to their capacity and shipments have been large.

In July it is hoped to occupy more of the new departments and if coal can be had there will be lively limes at the works. In this city all the works were run reeularlv although coal was short. The Harrisburg rolling mills were in full operation and will be run through July. The Central Iron and Steel Company operated all of its mills and one furnace, Xo. 2 being on repairs.

Shipments of plate for the East River bridge and to ship yards were immense, being about the largest made from the yards in years. The company is rolling plates for the leading shipyards of the Atlantic coast, some plates being for. warships. The Chesapeake Xail Works, I.alance Grosjean Tin plate Works and the other plants have been busy throughout. June and the Harrisburg Foundry and Machine Works secured a number of good orders for engines which will require all night work in addition to a large day force during the rest of the year.

The Harrisburg Manufacturing and Boiler Works have finished some foreign orders and are busy on boilers and pipe plates. A full force is employed, Steel is wanted at all of the works and deliveries are somewhat delayed by slowness of material and the coal difficulties. Harrisburg has not had a single strike or shut down due to disaffection of men this year and is almost the only place iin this part of the State which has escaped labor troubles. It is feared that the only trouble of the year will come from the coal strike, which may affect deliveries from the bituminous region. GETTYSBURG MONUMENTS.
