The general adtivity of all branches
of industry is causing a flurry in the
New England coal trade, and it is said
there is a. probability of a coal famine.
Coal merchants are striving their ut-
most to supply the demand but are un-
able to do so. Especially is this the
case in anthracite coal, and at many
places where there is generally from
' 1,000,000 to 2,000.000tons of coal stored
for immediate use the sheds are empty.
The cause of the trouble is claimed to
be two-fold, the inability of the rail-
roads to provide enough rolling stock,
and the strong demand from the man-
ufacturing cities.
The vessels which generally load in
Baltimore on a six-day basis now are
obliged to wait three weeks before
they can secure a cargo, and f1 e1u hts
have gone up $1 and' 111 some cases $1. 50
per ton. Coal merchants expect asub-
stantial advance in prices at an early
date. Th :re is almost a scarcity of
vessels, due in part to last Fall’s ma-
rine disasters, and another factor which
has contributed to the storage of _coal
was the failure of the waterpower dur-
ing the dry season in many mill towns
where manufacturers had to use more
steam than was Most of the
mills now have a fair supply of fuel on
hand.

It Was Nola Rabbit.
A few evenings agoa party of Gran-
‘bury sportsmen went out after rabbits.
They procured a dog, said, to be a good
one for the game they were seeking,
and started. At last the dog struck
a fresh trail and led them a long chase,
much longer than'usual, but after an
hour the quarry was safely caged be-
tween two large rocks with a passage-
way large enough forbunny but not for
the dog.
They gathered around the place and
at last decided to drive the rabbit: out
of the same hole he went in. Two
stood with abag held open, two more ‘
procured sticks to prod the little fel-
low, while the other, stretched on top
of the crack, tried to look down into
the dark crevice to see when the rabbit
moved.
The word was given, the poles prod-
ded the rabbit, the dog Stood by, when,
horrors! there was a glimpse of some-
thing black with white on the tip of
its tail. The men rolled over on the
ground and the dog was nearly stran-
gled,for it was a skunk and he had tak-
en his revenge for being disturbed.
The men were sick for some time;
they could not move, and when they
recovered suflicently they started for
home. There was a call for clothing
at the different homes and that worn
on the hunt had to be shed in one place
while they went some distance away to
replace them with others. It is said
that there are now five full suits of
clothing buried' 1n C"1anbury 1n the hope
that contact with earth will remove a.
certain disagreeable odor.

The Fol-alien'nen‘olutionl Han, Canned
Much Annoyance to Both the
,Secre‘tary of War and
the Chief Executive.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—After care-
ful consideration of the subject the presi-
dent has decided to make‘no recommen-
datiOns to congress at the approaching
session touching the repeal of the legisla-
tion which had prevented the granting of
any franchises in Cuba. The adminis-
tration has become convinced that much
serious harm has been Worked to the
best interests of the islands by this legis-
lation and that the attempts of the gov.-
ernment of the United States to forward
the developmentlof the industries ofCu-
ha and advance the condition of the poo-
pla have been greatly hampered by the
inhibition which prevents the building of
the railroads or wharfs, the construction
of bridges, of trolley roads, of water and
sewer conveniences and of all that class
of semipublic works which give employ-
ment'to many persons both in construc-
tion and operation.
The attitude of the administration oili-
cials' 1n 1efusing to approve the numeious
applications or
been made has exposed them to severe
critidsms, based on the presumption that
they were clothed with d1sc1et10n 11y
powers in passmg upon them. This has
been particular'ly the case in regard to
the Cuban cable and telegraph system,a
problem which confronted Secretary Al-
ger soon after the adjournment of the
congress which passed the Foraker reso-
lution prohibiting the granting, of fran-
chises in Cuba.
The secretary was fully disposed to al-
low competition in that line, but his at-
tention having‘ been drawn to the ex-
pressed intent of congress the matter,
after being discussed in the cabinet, was
leferrcd to the attorney general for his
opinion. That official at once decided
that there 11:15 no possibility of doubting
the intention of congress, and therefore
the president felt obliged to refuse to al-
low any competition in telegruphs and
cables which involved the extension of
granted rights to the (ompcting parties
and directed Seeietui y Alger to abide by
that decision.
Relics of Cliff Dove-Hers.
DENVER, Nov. 17.——Oue carload of
relics from the ruins of the ancient cliff
dwellers has just been sent to the Muse—
11111 of Natural History in New York.
They were collected by Professor George
H. Pepper and are probably the most
valuable ever sent out of southwestern
Colorado. Professor Pepper
the last four summers in the vicinity of
Moscow, (3010., has opened hundreds of
burial mounds and has visited thousands
of the ancient dwellings with which the
sandstone ‘cliffs arc honeycombcd. He
says his researches have shown that the
ruins embrace a tract of 20 square miles,
or at least he worked over that area. It
is probable. he believes, that develop-
ments will yet show that a city larger
than New York and .Loudon combined
was at one time peopled in: that region.

TIN PLATE FACTS. ‘
Eeltlmony Before Induntrlnl Col-Inla-
nlon’ Show. Manufacture Profitable.
WASHINGTON, ‘Nov. 17.-—Mr.v Wil-
liam H. Griffith, a tin plate maker of.‘
Washington, Pa., was before the indus-
trial commission yesterday. He told the
commission that his company, which has
since disposed of its plant, 'cleaned 20
per' cent in profit last year, when the
price of tin was $2.60 per box, the lowest
ever known fer plate. He also said that
just previous-1:0 the passage of the Mo:
Kinley bill and for a year 01' so after
ward. when the price was. $5. 65, the
profit was fully 100 per cent. He said
that’while his company had sold its
plant to the trust the transaction had
been without his sanction and that he
had since undertaken the establishment
of an independent plant, alSo located at
Washington, Pa., Which he soon would
have- in operation.
The sale of the old plant [had been
made under the representation that the
consolidation was necessary to prevent
competition, and there had been. a fear
that if they did not go into the pool their
buSiness would be injured. He had not
accepted this opinion and consequently
was preparing rapidly as possible to re‘
enter‘the field. Nor did he accept the
view that a large combination had any
advantage over an individual, but-believ-
ed the advantage was rather with the in~
dividual.
The witness said he considered the tar-
ifi essential to the protection of the tin
plate industry in this country. .but he
would not say that so high a tariff as the
present was necessary to its existence.
TROLLEY CAii ACCIDENT.
A Dozen Passengers 'Hurled From a
Trestle and Severely Injured.
PASSAIC, N. J., Noy. 17.—A dozen
passengers riding on a trolley car of the
Jersey City, Passaic and Paterson line
dropped with the car «:1 distance of ten
feet from the trestle over “'eascl brook,
near Clifton, 11 mile from this place, yes-
terday afternoon. All were injured with
the exception of :1 boy. That some were
not killed is wonderful. The car was
traveling at the late of 15 01' 20 miles an
hour. It leaped from the rails and drop-
ped ov 01 the side of the trestle.
Harold Keumm'el, a boy, \1 11s kneeling
at a window when the accident occurred.
He was thrown through the window and
fell into the creek. He was fished out of
the water without any trace of injury.
Ht? landed ten feet away from where the
car dropped, so great was the force with
which he was hurled. How he escaped
being cut by the glass cannot be explain-
cd. ’
The immediate cause of the accident is
unknown. The forward trucks seem to
have jumped from the rails, and the
wheels cut along the ties for a short dis-
tance. Motorman Morrisso stuck to his
post and t1ied to bring the car to a stop,
but the momentum was too gr,eat and
the car shot off the side of the trestle. It
appems to have d1opped almost stlaight
down, landing on its front dashboard and
then falling backward and sideways. The
roof and one side were crushed by com-
ing against the stone abutment. The
passengers 1v ore tlnou 11 to the forward
end by the tilting of the car as it drop-
ped, and upon them ruined the broken
glass. the seats and the pieces from the
crushed in sides and roof.

manufacturers of the United States, who

cardboard. This change in prices goes
into effect inuncdiatcly. R. E. Evans of
Muncic. 1111].. who presided at the confer-
ence. stated the advance had become nec-
essary because of the increase in price of
pulp and cv cry other article used in the

board business in this country. Mr. Evans
says, represents $10,000,000.
