and after Goddard gets through trying to

York of the congressional Committee at
Yesterday’s Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—The House com-
mittee appointed to investigatqthe Read-
. ing Railroad anthracite coal combination
resumed yesterday the inquiry it con-
ducted into this subject during the recess.
Wm. H. Joyce, general freighta sent of

He offered in evidence a letter dated April
18 last addressed by him to E. R. Holden,
Chairman of the Anthracite Rate Commit-
tee, New York, calling attention to the
fact that during the past year the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, through it“
coal company, had made with individual
operators contracts for the purchase of
their coal upon a percentage of the prices
realized at tidewater. The Reading Com-
pany, the letter added, had made similar
agreements with a number of miners and
shippers, and it was, therefore, necessary
for the Pennsylvania Railroad to do like-
wise if it were to secure the product of
collieries that had heretofore shipped
over its lines.
The committee held a secret session,
and decided to close the taking of testi-
. mony as soon as the Chairman secured
certain statistical information that is de-
sired. The testimOny will be gone over
as a whole, and work on the report to the
House will then begin.’ It is not possible
at this time to say whether or not any
legislation will be recommended.

that a Tarpon Can Do. .
As the steam tug Mollie MOhr was
coming up the river from the jetties, says
the Houston, Tex., Post, she ran through
a school of tarpon about half a mile be-
low the city. Three of these huge fish
leaped across. the tug’s forward deck,
one of them narrowly missing Tom
Rose’s head, the second struck the cabin,
near where Capt. Marshall and a fireman
were standing, and made a dent as large
as a man’s fist in the hard wood. The
third struck and bent an iron drift bolt
half an inch in diameter. and-glancing
off, hit William Schunfield between the
shoulders, knocking him senseless; in
fact, it was thought for a time he had
been killed, and it will be some time be-
fore he will be able to resume work.
Capt. Marshall says the river for a con-
siderable distance was alive "with these
silver kings, leaping. around as if all the
tarpon family had concluded to celebrate
gineteen feet of water on the Brazos
