FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1878. ftOHOOL BOARD MEKTINU TO NIGHT. rf The special meeting of the School Board to be held at half past seven o'clock this evening promises to be one of unusual interest, and will no doubt be attended by every member. It is proposed to save $5,000 by lessening the school term one month, the said money to be applied to the erection of new buildings. The new building project is agitated by members of the Board of Control who for a long time have been desirous of carrying their poina If they succeed to night it may be a cheap mode of obtaining the buildings, but time alone will tell.

THE COAL QUESTION 1XLDNTKATED' There is a chronic growl in the Schuylkill coal region on the part of the individual owners of collieries against the Beading Kail road Company. They desire the company to transport the products of their mines at such rates as will enable the operators to compete for the Lehigh trade. President Gowen declines to make such a reduction of freight charges, and as both sides are supposed to be true to their own interests, there must be an African in the woodpile somewhere. To a man up a tree it looks as though the Reading Railroad Company has as much at slake as the operators. President Oowen has to meet the demands of hundreds of stock and bondholders, clamorous for their pay, besides caring for twenty thousand employees, and he would be criminally negligent if he failed to protect their interests.

The operators on the other hand are no worse off than the ironmasters or the grain dealers, in view of the corner. But while the Schuylkill coal men are mining and shipping and growling, an American Company who invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the "Nova Scotia Coal Company," have been obliged to cease working their mines for the present and discharged all their workmen and engineers. The Pictou, N. 8., Colonial Standard says "The manager, Mr. White, is about leaving the Province and has no expectation of again visiting it in a business capacity.

There is yet a great deal of coal in the mines, but the present selling price is so ruinously low that there is no use in continuing mining operations. Their extensive property, consisting of good miners' houses, rail load and' wharf and all necessary plant, is therefore to remain in idleness and go to ruin. The American Company have lost hun dreds of thousands of dollar." The large amount of capital necessarily in vested in all coal enterprises renders the ad juatment of prices, freights, a matter of great moment to all concerned. Of course the consumer would prefer cheap coal, but if it can onlv be obtained at a loss to those whose capital is thus invested, the producer only shows his folly and want of good management. In whatever light the relations between the Beading Railroad Company and the operators may be viewed it always bears this phase, President Gowen is endeavoring to appreciate the value of the property committed to his hands, and so long as he is entrusted with the direction of the company's affairs just so long will he pursue that policy.

Colliery Falling In. INDIAN. RIDGE MINK, A LEADING 8HKNAN DO AH COLLIERY, ROBBED OF 1T8 PILLARS. lu the last issue of Haward's Coal Trade Journal there appears a. dispatch from Shen andoah, Schuylkill county, which states that during the last few days the west side work ings of the Indian Ridge mine, one of the leading colleries in that place, has been falling in.

The process known as "robbing pillars had been going on for some time past in the mine, and the supports of the root were nearly all taken out. A number ot large openings have been made in the surface within the borough limits in close proximity to a number of houses. Considerable fear is entertained by people under whose dwellings the work ings extend, and a number of them have vacated their houses. One of the slips is within twenty yards of the main branch of the Lebigb Valley Kailroad, and the road is liable to go down at any time. The colliery belongs to the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, and besides throwing a number of men out of employment the com pany will lose much valuable coal as the result' of weakening the roof supports.

What a Well Informed Ueruinn Brewer Should Reduce Their Prices Too Many Saloons tamti Sense Views. The subject of cheaper beer is attracting general attent ion and is being vigorously (lis cussed in all the leading journals of the coun try.

The other day Oswald Ottenderfer, Esq of the New York StaaU Zeilunu. a recognized leader of opinion among Germans, and well informed upon all that affects their interests, said ef the cheap beer movemeut that "the retailers make a very good profit out of beer at the present rates. Charging by the glass, as they now do, they make three or four limes the profits that the brewers do, and those who have a flourishing trade that is, those who have well patronized saloons could sell cheaper than they do. But the trouble is the number of saloons. There are so many that the.

business is divided and cut up until the smaller ones can even hardly pay rent and other expenses and make a living. TOO MANY SA LOOKS AMD BAD PAY. "It is unfortunate that so many have been established, unfortunate both for their proprie tors and the public, for they cannot many of them sell their beer fast enough to have it good. There is no doubt in my mind that the brewers could supply beer as good as now at a lower expense, if they had all trustworthy customers, from whom they would receive regular payment, and if they had a more economical and business like system of collection. By the decrease in the number of lager beer saloons the brewers and retailers could both decrease their prices from what they now are.

Possibly a general reduction in price at retail might have that edict, by a very natural and self apparent process. i EASY WAY TO HAKE A LIVING. "In years past a good many men who could work and find employment iu their vaiious trades found it easier to start lager beer saloons. A cheap basement, three or four tables, a dozen chairs, a beer horse, and a few glasses were all the stock needed. The beer was easy got, and the saloon was ready to open.

Well, the majority of such establishments were bad for everybody concerned. The men who ran them got out of habits of industry, they made scant livings, and their beer was necessarily poor. And they were bad customers for the brewers. iV ery many of them did not intend to pay for their beer; still more who wished to do so could not. Some of them made a precarious livelihood dodging from place to place under different names, getting credit from one brewer after another, rolling up a mountain of aggregate debt, part of which had to be borne by the saloon keepers who had good places and who did pay, and that part was not a small one.

Unfortunately that class of minor saloons still exists. It is to be hoped that the consolidation of the interests of the brewers, through their association, may do something ultimately in repressing them. HOW BREWERS GET CUSTOMERS. "With refereuce to their expenditure ol money to get and keep customers, of course. wherever there is great competition, as there is in the brewing business, there will be great efforts made and lavish use of money, which Ibe brewers naturally bave to make up in their prices, it is not a practical and business' like system, but it is an old one, and will be hard to break down.

If brewers would aban don it and depend for their custom upon the manliest excellence of their beer, doubtless they could afford to charge a less price. It seems as if the adoption in late years of new methods of production should aid them in reduction ol the price of their beer, in former years brewers could only make beer in the winter months, they quired enormous cellars to store what they made until the season lor its sale, and they could turn their capital over but twice a year. But with these new inventions of coolers and ice houses they brew all the year round, need comparatively little storage capacity becauxe they are able to regulate the temperature of their cellar aud lernient ing rooms at will, at any season and cau TURN THEIR MONEY OVER AND OVER AGAIN several times every year. Beer should be at least eight or ten weeks old before it is palata ble and tit to drink Alter three months loses a certain percentage of its strength, and is not so pleasant to the taste of a majority of drinkers. Mo there is, as you see, a rapid succession of manufacture and sale through the year." Lover and His Qirl Thrown Out of a Buggy Strausstown, Aug.

Mad Dogs. (For the Times and Dispatch. Messrs.

Many towns and cities, with similar dog laws, have fully enforced tbem, thereby lessening the danger, and increasing tbe deposits in the treasury of the town or city.
