GKOHQK MKTOALK , President , PAVT PIT i nn A\T nr\l > Ti P/l I T SOU SNAPS ON SOU COAL , How the Railways and the Dealers Dlvldo the Consumers' Cash. IMPROVING MANAWA ROADS. A New President I-'or the Y. M. C. A1 GHH Hates nt ln\t Tumble Hlllrmon Anxious to Challenge Oninhn. Siift Coal Itatrs. The Investigation in regard to coal rates came to n close at the board of trade rooms yesterday noon. What the decision of the railway commissioners will bo cannot be told , nnd no time is sot for its rendering. There seems to be n general feeling that the complaint of discrimination against Council BlulTs is not very well established by this in vestigation. While it is posltholy stated that Omaha is getting better rates , yet thoho statements scorn to ho informal or inferential , and the clear proof which was expected has not boon forthcoming. The real mission of the investigation was not , however , to de termine this question , but rather whether the rates for Council BlulTs were unerasonablo or not. The evidence brought to light figures which indicate that the coal dealers here have boon making a rather largo profit on their soft coal , and that if the prices are too high for consumers they should look to the dealers for redress , rather than to the railways. One of the dealers , who was not on the stand , gave the following facts con cerning soft i-oal , and the figures are fully as strong as the dealer's side can present. The coal has been selling here at ? yo to Vi a ton. It now sells at V ) . It costs at the mines $1.7o , and the freight is $1.0. ! This makes the total cost M.Ma ton. By bulling for $ " > , a profit ib left of $ l.o ; > , or 60 per cent profit. The dealer claims , nowover , that to the cost should bo added f > 0 cents a ton for delivery , and 25 cents a ton for shortage. This cuts the profit down to 1)0 ) cents a ton , which is deemed little enough , it being only a little over 20 per cent. The other side of the figuring as done by a business man who has been listen ing to the evidence , and boilingitdown , is that he lias been paying So.60 a ton ' for coal which cost at'the mine $1.-M , and freight $ ! . ! ! ( ) , making the total cost here $2.7-1. By his figures it leaves the dealer 100 per cent for his profit. The following are the salient points in the testimony taken yesterday , with the exception of the evidence in regard to the history of the casehowitstarted , and what action the board of trade had taken : Thomas Olllccr gets most of his coal fiom Cleveland. Paid "M.fiS per ton for freight from Cleveland , until the middle of November , over thoJRock Is land road. There was a time when ho got a rebate , but it was not from the railroad company ; it was from the coal company. Burns about a car load or nineteen tons of coal a week. Pea coal costs us at the mines $1 per tonand the freight is $1.10 , which makes it cost laid down here $2.10. .1. L. Williams , engaged in the coal business testified : Gets largest portion of his coal from Beacon , on the Rock Island road. The present rate on lump coal from that point is $1.05. Had an 85 cent rate at one time. Beacon is distant about two hundred miles. Probably sells ten tons of lump to ono of nut coal for domestic purposes. Pays for coal at the Ucacon mine about $1.60 per ton for lump ; the freight is $1.04 , that makes the cost laid down hero $3.1-1. Thinks ho pays 35 cents for steam coal at the mines , freight is $1.10. Coal sells at retail for. from $4.50 to $5.00 , that is lump. As a dealer it doesn't make any difTercnco to mo about the rates. Price of coal at the mine fluctuates , it varies from Sl.fiO to $2 aad $ i'.50. Wo want stability of rates ; wo can't do business when the rate ono month is 25 cents and another is $1.94. Couldn't give any idea of a reasonable rate. rate.W. W. M. Sage , general trafllc manager of the Chicago , Rock Island & Pacific railway company , sworn , testified : Wo gave the same rate to Council BlulTs from mines on the Des Moines .Valley division of our road that the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy did to their mines of a lebS distance , wo did this in order to help our mines out , we lelt it our duty to take care of thorn. The rate of $1.50 on all classes of coal was made before fore it was known that steam coal could bo utilized. It would accumulate around the mines and they would ask us to haul it away , which wo did , and used it in ballasting and fixing up nice yards. Wo felt that our minors must have the same rate to Council BlulTs that the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy gave their miners , but the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy did not like that , as they thought that the nearest miners .should have the advantage. If the retailer in Council Blufls gets $2.00 profit , it is hardly necessary to fight on the 23 oontbdiflorential. Our mines could not live if the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy had the entire supulying of coal. It would not bo to the interest of the . road to allow our mines to go down. So we know that if wo lost by the war , it would bo to the interest of the coal deal ers and coal minors. September 1 , 1887 , when the war commenced , our rates wore on lump ? 1.)5 ! ) , 75 cents on nut and slack , On the 7th I found that Mr. lUploy , trafllo manager of the Chicago cage , Burlington & Quincy , had made the rate on his road on lump $1.10 , on nut and slack 60 cents , which showed his determination to keep 25 cents below - low us. Tnon we made the rate to meet that , and ho lowered the rate to lump 35 cents , and nut und slack 25 cents , which wo mot. On the 23d of October Mr. Ripley said : "Thoro is no ugo in us fighting on the lump coal rate. " So the rate was made 81.68 to Council BlufTs and $1.00 to Omaha. Our rates on Octo ber 23,18S7 , wore , on lump $1.58 , on nut and slack 2o cunts. I told Mr. Riploy logo below that , as he was determined to carry 25 cents below our rate , to carry for nothing. Ho said you ought to give us a little dilTctcnco ; that 25 cents was too much , and wanted to put up the rates on a reasonable basis. Very well , I said , you make the rate and I will make it the same , nnd submit the case to arbitration. On the 10th of March the rates wore made 81.58 on ump and $1 on nut and slack. For u while the rate was raised to H.25 , from May 4 to May 10 , when wo ell back on the O Ion wood tariff. We 3nmo to a conclusion. Mr. Riploy made } \o \ rate from the Whitobreast mines 1.10 , and we made $1.10 fromLoIghton. L'he tarillof Octocor.10 was really is- ued October 1 , though wo had pre viously agreed to give ton days' notice , o it took effect on the 10th. On Octo ber Oth our rates to Council Bluffs wore 1.01 , being the Glenwood rates , and the. ates to Omaha wore $1.00 nnd 31.25. We made the rate on October 10or 200 niles 91.01 and $1.10 , and the rates to Jmaha wore made the same , The Chi- ago & Northwestern have very few mines on their roan. For coal for their own road they have had to go down to Osknloosa. It is true that that road is a Ural class road but is not on the same grade as the Rock Island nnd "Q" in regard to coal. The Milwaukee Is still further removed from being n compet itor horo. It is true tjiat the North western Is greater ihan the Rock Island , hut on coal matters It is idle to expect it to do the business hero. The tariff now is way below the Glenwood tariff. I regard the rates of October 10 as reasonable , as it is loss than the Glenwood rates of the commissioner : ) . All grades haul coal , C. B. Fuel Co.

It is reported that negotiations nro now in progress for the organization of another gas company in this city. An eastern gas plant manufacturing com pany is nt the bottom of the move , and is now in correspondence wtlh parties here in regard to the matter. If tbo .scheme is carried through as at present planned , the interested parties in this city will bo a well known capitalist and a prominent contractor , whoso mi'iics arJ withheld at their request until matters - tors assume a more tangible shape. They are satisfied that a plant can bo put in hero so as to miniuf'icturo good gas at a handsome prolit , and at the same time furnish it for much less than is now being paid for an inferior arti cle The present company lias reduced ibi rates since the 1st of January , and is now clmrginirkJ.oO per 1,000 feet , with 10 per cent off , making it $2.25 if bills are paid before the 10th of the month. It is stated that the now com- puny \\ould not charge over $2 , and in timate that it might be less than that. It is thought that there will bo plenty of business for all of the companies , either gas or electric.that will enter the lielfl. The amount of business done by the old companies is no criterion to judge by for the future , as the prices charged were so outrageously high that the consumption was inordinately small as compared with what it would be under favorable circumstance * . The indications are that the city will bo well supplied with electric as well as gas light , and it is hardly probable that in cither case the companies will bo limited to one. The present electric' Hi/lit company has u franchise for put ting in an incandescent plant , and is preparing to do so. Several miles of wire have already been bought to wire the city for this purpose. A large number of subscriptions have been re ceived , and it is thought that a plant of 2oOO lights can be started as soon as the machinery can bo soou'cdThe pres ent building will have to be con siderably enlarged to make room for such a plant , and that would , of course , require considerable time , but there is at present some spare room in the build ing , and it is intended to utili/.o that as soon as possible in putting in operation a dynamo to run 170 incandescent lights. One great drawback to starting on a snvill scale and then increasing as busi ness demands , is the fact that the whole line must bo wired with reference to the number of lights to bo furnished. Several sizes of wire must be used , the larger ones leaving ttio building , and then decreasing in s'r/.o as the Granch wires lead off. This is not the case with the arc lights , as in that case there are no branch wires , each light being directly on the main current , which in every case runs into the building and out again. The outlook for another electric light company is not particularly brilliant for the present , as the committee ap pointed by the city council to investi gate the merits of the various plants now in operation throughout the statt- will not start upon their junketing trip until a week from next Monday , owing to an important meeting of the council to bo hold next Monday evening. As there is considerable red tap o to bo un wound , the ordinance granting a fran chise to a now company will not bo passed for some time , so that such com pany will hardly bo able to get a plant in operation before Mr. Olllcor can make the necessary changes in the present plant thus putting them both in practical operation about the same time.

Wal lace will bo the next president of the Y. M. C. A. The death of Mr. E. E. Ilarkncss was n heavy blow to the asso ciation , lie had been a most active president , and had numerous projects well stinted for the future iinanciiil and moral strengthening of the associa tion. To secure anyone to taku up those unfinished pluns was no easy tusk. The committee to nominate a successor has decided that Mr. W. W. Wallace is the man to do so , and it is understood he will accept. Not a dissenting voice is heard , and the matter of election will doubtless bo a mere matter of form. Mr. Wallace is an earnest church worker , and with his exporicncj and ability in such matter * will doubtless prove a worthy president for so worthy an in stitution. To CliiillpiiKC OmaJui.

A team ot ton members can bo picked from each club that will make some very neat scores.
