INDUSTRIAL,
An Ashland dispatch cays: The. an
nouncement Is made that the Logan
onil Centralla collieries at Centralla,
and the Hi;; Aline Hun colliery at this
place, now operated by Lewis A. Riley
Co.. have passed Into the hands of
the Lehigh Valley Coal company. The
deal also involves the transfer of the
lease on theGcrniuntown coul tract,
which has been held by Riley & Co. for
the past four years. The Li'hlffh Val
ley Coal company takes control on
March I next. The mammoth store at
Centralla is not Included In the deal,
and will be continued without any
change In the ownershir" or mannse
roojit. The most Important feature
connected with this deal is that the Le
high Valley Coal company has deckl
ed to develop the tiermantown tract
northwest of Ashland, where there is a
vast amount of Rood coal. A breaker
will be erected, which will be one of the
largest and most complete In the coal
reslon, giving employment to perhaps
&00 men end boys. It Is said thr.t this
work will for commenced at once, and
will be completed In about two years.
To reach this colliery, the Lehigh Val
ley railroad will construct a branch of
their railroad extending from Dark
Corner, a mining village about one mile
east of Centralla. along the mountain
Hide north of Ashland to Ocrmantown,
a distance of five miles. The prelimi
nary survey for this branch of the road
(has already been made.
The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company, in its seventy-fifth annual
report, shows a loss of 811, "6:1 on coal
mined In the year ISM. The old Lehigh
company was first In- the business of
pending anthraelte'coa! to market, ami
its coul has always ranked with the
best produced. The company paid 4 pr
cent, dividends, but failed an earn the
full amount necessary by li::4.!Ktf. The
company produced 17,695 tons of con!
more than In 1X94. but the shipments of
coal over Its railroad leased to the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey increased
241.000 tons, which, with other augment
ed business, raised the amount received
as rental 8KI5.501. Taking into con
sideration the 10 cents per ton sinking
fund on coal mined the company ran
behind for the year $229,000. This re
sult, observes the Philadelphia Press,
was due entirely to the unfortunate
state of the coal trade, and not to the
management of the company, which,
under President Pardee and his lieuten
ants, is conservative and buslness-llke.
The New Jersey Central Railroad
company (Including the New York and
Long Branch division) reports for the
year ending Dec. 31, 18H5:

President Maxwell, after referring to
the above showing, says: "The operat
ing expenses, as heretofore, cover all
expenditures for repairs, charges for
reduction in value of equipment and
other property, and Include expendi
tures for renewals of bridges, buildings
and wharves, substitution of heavier
rails and other construction. There was
expended during the year for construc

$272,593.74, of which $194,W.3fl represents
the outlay for changing of grade, lower

DAY IN HALLS OF CONGRESS
The Senate Continues in Its Arduous
Task of Doing Nothing.
MORGAN SC0KEI) IN HOUSE
Debate I'pon the Question of Seed 1I
tributioa Urines Down Another
Volley I'pon the Head of the
Secretary of Agriculture.
Washington,' Feb. IS. The fact that
the house when it rejected the senate
free currency amendments to the bond
bill did not accompany its message to
that effect with a request for a confer
ence was brought up In the senate to
day by Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) and he
suggested to the finance committee,
whether the occasion was not a good
one to bring about an agreement on
the subject between the two houses.
He was Informed by the chairman of
the finance: committee, Mr. Morrill
(Rep., Vt.) that the committee was
waiting for some action on the part of
the house; and he was reminded Dy
Mr. Chandler. In a facetious way, that
he l Mr. Allen) could move that the
senate recede from Its amendment. Mr.
Allen also had something more to suy
about the fuilure of the Pacific Rail
road company, which is now having
heatings as to the adjustment of the
debt of the Pacific railroad to the gov
ernment not having specially request
ed the officers of the Farmers' Alliance
In Nebraska. Kansas and Colorado,
and the owners of stock yards In Oma
ha, to appear and present their views.
The chairman of the committee (Mr.
(ear, R. I.) said that general notice had
been given throughout the press asso
ciations and udded that the committee
had no otliilul knowledge of such or
ganization. The resolution tnfered some
time ago by Mr. Penvr (Pop.. Kan.)
for a special committee to Inquire into
the clrcumstunces of the recent bond
lHsue was taken up and discussed until
the close of the morning hour, when un
der the rules it went on the calendar.
The military academy hill was then
taken up and passed the amendment
offered yesterday by Mr. Vilas (Dent.,
Wis.) for two additional cadets at
huge from each stale having been de
feated by three majority.
The pension appropriation was then
taken up and passed.
House Proceedings.
The house today, after three days'
consideration of the agricultural ap
propriation bill, finally disposes of It.
The feature of the debate today was the
attuck by Mr. Cousins I Rep., la.) upon
the methods of the secretary of agri
culture in connection with his refusal
to carry out the law for the purchase
and distribution of seeds, as provided
for in the appropriation acts of 1S94 and
1S95. He said the corrupted and subordi
nated commission uppolnted by the sec
retary had long In advance of the time
fixed by the secretary for them to ex
amine am) report upon the bids for sup
plying seeds to the department In
formed Inquirers that there would be
no distribution of seed, showing a pre
determination on his part to nullify the
law. The government. Mr. Cousins
said, was no longer a government for
the people and by the people, but a
government by J. Plerpotit Morgun and
J. Sterling Morton.
Amendments incorporated iu the bill
muke it mandatory upon the secretary
to purchase and distribute seed, as hits
been the custom prior to the suspension
of the practice last year, without refer
ence to the requirements of the statute
that they shall be "rure and uncom
mon." as that phrase was constructed
by Secretary Morton. The appropria
tion for seed was Increased from $130,
000 to $150,000, and the seed division
abolished by Secretary Morton last
year was rehabilitated with a full
quota of.iderks to enulde the secretary
to execute the law.
Mr. Johnson (Rep., Ind.) gave notice
that on Tuesday next, Feb. 25, he would
ask the house to dispose of the Van
Horn-Tarsney contested election case
from the Fifth Missouri district.
To Determine Coin Kxchanue.
Among the miscellaneous business
transacted, the house passed a resolu
tion Introduced by Mr. Newlands (Sil
ver. Col.) directing the committee on
wuys and means to inquire Itilo the ef
fect of the difference of exchange be
tween countries having the gold and
silver standards of value upon Ameri
can industries and to report by bill or
otherwise.
The Indian appropriation bill was re
ported by Mr. Sherman (Rep., N. Y.)
and Mr. Cannon (Rep.. III.) was given
leave to' tile the legislative executive
und judicial appropriation bill with the
clerk.
HANGED BY A iMOB.
Two .Men Taken from a Kentucky Prison,
but One Escapes.
Louisville, Ky Feb. 18. Fountain
Martin and William Troxwell.who were
confined In the Jail at Montleello on the
charge of burn burning, were taken out
by a mob early yesterday morning and
Martin was hanged. Troxwell was
about to be lynched, but finding the
noose was loose, he slipped It over his
head and darted away In the darkness.
Troxwell appeared at a farm house
three miles from the scene of the hang
ing and got his breakfast. No one has
seen him since and it is believed he
is making his way into the Cumber
land mountains, where pursuit would
be well nigh Impossible.
This was the third attempt to lynch
Troxwell. Three weeks ago he was
fatten from his home by a mob and
hunged to a tree until he was nearly
dead In order to make him confess to
the burning of a barn. He swore out
warrants the next day for a number
of men In and around Stetibenvllle. but
he never appeared against them and he
was later placed In Jail. The lynching
was done just before daybreak. Fif
teen or twenty men were In the gang.
They got Into the Jail by pretending
that one of their number was a pris
oner. The authorities beliee that they
can capture them.
AN "AID SOCIETY" FAILS.
vile of Wildcat Insurance Again Illus
trated at Lebanon,
Lebanon, Pa.. Feb. 18. The announce
ment was made this morning that the
I'nited -Brethren Mutual Aid society,
of this city, had failed. Then Inter
followed the appointment by Judge
Khrgood of Simon 'P. Light, of this
city, receiver with a bond fixed at
$100,000.
The collapse -of the society, which
has long been known to be financially
weak, was the direct result of a biil
In equity filed by Weiss and Gilbert, of
Harrlsburg, In behalf of Jacob U Light,
of this city. The plaintiff ilnlms the
society is Insolvent and unable to pay
f.t) per cent, of the losses already in
curred. One class of policy holders Is affected
by this decree, class K. which Includ
ed 2.0U0 holders, aggregating $2.1W0.000
of Insurance, and at present It cannot
be stated how many creditors the com
pany has. It is thought to have a very
large number, and their losses will nec
essarily be very great, as the nssets
amount to a comparatively small sum.
The company Is known for some
time to be on the verge of Insolvency,
and no surprise Is manifested at its
collapse.
PLANNED ASSASSINATION.
Son of n ell-to-Do Illinois Farmer Con
fesses to Attempted M order.
Karlvllle, III., Feb. 18. James Mc
Orath, son of John McOrath, a well-to-do
farmer living south of town, has
been arrested and will be sent to Otta
wa for the attempted murder of Mrs.
David Davis In the middle of last De
cember. Mr. Davis and his wife, an
aged end wealthy couple living alone
on weir farm about three miles south
heh- farm
of hero, were seated in their parlor in
the evening, when a shot was tired
through the window, the baU taking ef
fect in the side of Mrs. Davis' neck and
nearly ending her life. Mr. Davis ran
to the door, but the assassin was al
ready a hundred yards away and could
not be identified.
Investigation showed that James
McOrnth was not accounted for nt the
time of the attempted murder. He was
thereupon accused and admitted his
guilt, saying he had been short of
money and planned to murder both Mr.
Davis and his wife to secure a large
sum which they kept In their house.
After firing the first shot his heart
failed him and he was unable to finish
the work of assassination.
THE FIGHT A FIZZLE.
Interest in the .Malier-I'ltisimmons Match
Has About Petered Ont-Corbett Makes
Threats.
El Paso, Texas, Feb. 18. Interest in
the possible meeting of Maner and
Fltzslmmons on Friday has about
petered out. The throngs that block
aded Kl Paso street from store to curb
have gradually dwindled to complete
disappearance, and the groups that are
occasionally encountered on the cross
tboroughtaresare composed, in the main,
of Mexicans from Juurex, or ruralltes
from the suroundlng country. The
headquarters, too, are deserted and
need only a streamer of crepe on the
door to complete their funeral aspect.
The feeling Is next door to general
that something will again happen to
keep the men from meeting In the ring
side, while those who are not skeptical
on this point express themselves as
caring not a continental for the out
come. Taken together, never has u
world's championship pugallstlc con
test been Immediately preceded by such
an 'utter lack of enthusiasm or exhil
aration. Fluslmmons received today a dis
patch dated at Chicago and reading as
follows:
To Robert Flttslmmons.
Reud ill tonight's papers that you snlJ
I was a cur. The first lime 1 see yon i
will make you take it back, as 1 did be

After making; the air sulphurous for
awhile, Fltzslmmons turned the mes
sage over to Julian, who promptly filed
the following reply:
J. J. Corbett, Chicago.

CIIAKOED WITH MURDERS.
Another Victim Traced to "Itlg Jock"
l.aiDonte, of Wisconsin
West Superior, Wis., Feb. 18. The
body of the man found In the woods
lust Thursday bus been identified by
leorge Murray. of the East Knd. as that
of Newton McMillan, who has been
missing since lust October, und who was
supposed to have been murdered by
Henry Lamonte, alias "Big Jack," who
Is now In the county Jail here uwuitlng
trial for another murder. Murruy is
positive that he is right. His decision
Is baseil upon the recognition uf tat
tooed marks upon the deail man's
arms. He claims to have been Inti
mately acquainted with McMillan In
Two Harbors, Minn., where they were
employed ut the same trade and upon
tho same works. He also remembers
the circumstances of the execution of
the tattoo work. There are no other
means of Identification, the face having
been horribly mutilated by wild beasts
and there being no papers found upon
the person.
If this crime can be traced to I.a
monte. It wll make the fourth murder
for which he is wanted in Minnesota,
Wisconsin mid Michigan. McMillan
when lust seen by parties who knew him
was In compuny with Lamonte, and It
Is known that the latter left Two. Har
bors about the time McMillan disap
peared. McMillan possessed $300 at the
time he started away with Lamonte,
and this Is summed to have been the
incentive for the crime.
Officers believe lamonte killed an un
known Scotch sailor at Dedhum, Sep
tember 23, to secure $120 the niun pos
sessed. He is also accused of murder
ing Deputy Sheriff Wilson, of Denver,
three years ago, while the latter was
trying to arrest him. His other alleged
victim was found In a cranberry marsh
In Wood county, a year ago. A second
member of Lamonte's gang, lleorge
Thorpe, is being held as a witness
against him.
CAKE WALK ENDS IN FIGHT.
Razors and Shotgun figure in a Society
Function nt (,)ulncy.
Quincy, III., Feb. 18. A colored hop
and cake walk at Walter Summervllle's
bouse came to a riotous and bloody
close at u.30 this morning. Just as the
last keg went dry. Shortly before th'?
row started Mrs. ilatt Rrown was tak
en bleeding at the nose. Some one sug
gested that cold steel applied to her
back would stop the bleeding, and
Peachy Williams, the belle of the ball,
asked for a razor. In an instant half
a dozen razors were offered to her.
Sam Duncan Insisted that he should
apply the steel to the woman's back,
and Peachy argued otherwise. The two
came to blows, and Duncan whipped
nut a knife and sent the blade Into
Peachy's body in three different places.
Kd Williams, who had gone home for
his shotgun, appeared on the scene and
took a shot at Duncan, but missed him.
Williams fled from the city, and Dun
can surrendered himself to the police.
Peachy Williams is dangerously wound
ed and may die.

ISHIBIE BSJMISII
Fifty Men Smothered in a Colorado
Coal Mine.
MANY - BUILDINGS WRECKED
Gas in the Vulcan Coal Slope Ignited by
a lime A listening Explosion
Wrecks Many Buildinge-lleart-rending
Scenes at the Slope.
New Castle. Colo., Feb. 18. The Vul
can coal mine, located In the Hog-Back
Just below town, was completely
wrecked and set on fire by a terrific
gas explosion shortly after 11 o'clock
today. About fifty men Including fire
men and coal operators were In the
several rooms along the slope when the
explosion occurred, and so great was
the detonation, that not a single man
could have survived the shock, the gas
or the tire which Immediately ensued.
With the exception or a few bosses,
the killed are Italians, but in the con
fusion and excitement It Is impossible
at this time to make u. complete, roster
of names of the unfortunate.
The town of New Castle was shaken
as If by an earthquake by the explo
sion and a dense black cloud obscured
the site of the Vulcan mine and work
ings. Indicating only too plainly whut
had occurred. The entire population
rushed to the scene to behold the sur
face workmen In the midst of a thick
cloud of dust trying in vain to start
the work of rescuing their unfortunate
fellow laborers within.
The earth had settled perceptibly near
the hillside, and the dense volume of
black smoke Issuing from crevices In
the upheaved mass gave evidence that
the coal Vein had been set afire by
the explosion. Women and children
rushed shrieking und screaming to the
scene, adding to the confusion.
The mine owned by the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company, two und a half miles
away was promptly closed down and
all hands hastened to assist Superin
tendent Herrlck, of the Vulcan, In the
work of rescue, but it was quickly seen
that little could be done. Herrlck with
several men hud torn uviy the broken
timbering at the landing und had
rushed Into tho Flop soon after the
explosion had occurred with wet
sponges on their nostrils, only to be
driven back again by the deadly fumes.
A special train wns netit to the mine by
the Colorado Midland Railway com
pany with medical nbl prepared to as
sist In caring for the wounded, if uny
were rescued, but the sun went down
behind the mountains before an open
ing could be made.
Many flulldlngs Wrecked.
The force of the explosion may be Im
agined v, hen it Is known that the build
ings und trestle at the- mouth of the
slope were completely wrecked, a hole
of 100 feet square curved out of the
hillside at the mouth of the Incline,
while timbers two feet, square were
blown Into the llrand liver. 400 feet
away, one miner was on his way down
the slope when the explosion occurred,
and his mangled remains were subse
quently found several hundred feet
away from the mouth of the slope.
There were 140 men employed In and
about the mine at the time and about
lll'ty were ut work underground this
morning.
State Coal Mine Inspector flrlfflth
was here Pel). 8 and pronounced the
mine In better condition that it had ever
been before. An immense fan in the
slope, which was uUO feet In depth,
seemed to afford complete ventilation
and every possible prec-aution was taken
to prevent an explosion or the gas
known to exist In the mines of this dis
trict. It Is believed that a lighted
fuse Ignited the gas In one of the rooms
while the men were blunting down coal.
The old Vulcan mine bus been aban
doned for several years, and was In no
way connected with tho present prop
erty, a new slope having been driven
Into the hillside.
The Vulcan Fuel company operates
the property, which la owned by the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail
road company, with headquarters at
Topeka, Knji.
Just at this time the mine was being
worked to Its full capacity, the output
being from seventeen to twenty cars per
day.
