A contract for 140,000 tuns of Nova Scotia coal has been closed by the Canadian Purine railway with the Dominion Coal com pany. This Is 40,000 tons more than the Canadian Pacific used last year, and Indicates that the roud expects to have considerable traffic this year. The tlrand Trunk has contracted for 130,000 tons from the same company, 70.000 tons in excess of last year's contract. Of the whole amount. 100,000 tons are to be delivered at Montreal and 110.000 at Purtlund, Me. ANTHRACITE TRADE. The an thracite coal trade, while very quiet, Ik as Hi m as a rock. Quite a good deal of tonnage was contracted at the April 1 prices. This Is being moved and will probably lint be cleaned up before the lust of the month. There Is enough to meet all demand, and for this reason very littlf new business is being offered. This creates the impression of a dead lock. The production thus fur this year to June 1 will be 15,750.000 tons. During ! the fdrregpoiidtna; five months of 1SM5 - the production was lli.MOO.noo tons, or ,'ivi I milium moil', i Herein lies : the se:ivt uf the mobility at the present lime. It Is probable that the month of June will run three and one-hall' million ' r. ...... -.ii uiiu uuviuuilll million tos for the six months. On a .busls of 45,000,000 per year this would Inieau 2eoO0.OJ)o tons for the next six Imohths. when the demand is best and Vrleea always the ' highest. PhlUdel- plfiu Times. ON CASK. A Philadelphia Lftu r'-U's. Idea of l brill and How It Worked.- -' Over In Philadelphia dwelt n yountr law student who fell In love as he was about to be admitted to practice, says the Now York Journal. The jrlrl's father also belonged to the profession and was reckoned pretty smart, an : riiiiauoipiiiii lawyers go. The old fel. low gave a partial consent to the young man's pleadings, but concluded he would try the student and see if he was worthy to be his son-in-law. Ho lie said: "The case of Clank against Blank has been on the calendar several years. It has been tried, appealed, decision re versed, tried again and comes up ugaln for argument at the next general term. J am counsel for the plaintiff. I have , had the ease four years but now I turn It over to you. Here are tho pnpers; . see what you can do." The young- man took tho papern and went to work with a vim horn of love for if he won the caso should he not also win the bride? At last life seemed to him worth the living, lie studied the case thoroughly. He consulted tho au thorities and was loaded and primed for a brilliant argument when the court convened. He made his plea and won , the case without any trouble. i With u heart overflowing with jov ' he returned to his prospective father-in-law and, slapping down the papers, he exclaimed: See here, sir: the rasp IS won! These are the proofs. 1 What you tried for years to do I have accomplished at a single term of court. Now, may I have your daughter?" The old fellow looked up with a smile upon his face as he replied: "I think you a fool and you can't have my daughter. But I will just give you a little gratuitous advice: It Is true I had the case for four years without winning It, and it Is also true that I made thousands of dollars out of It.1 But you have gone and settled It; and what have you made?

SOME WARM WORDS IN THE HOUSE Mr. Walkt-r Interrupts Mr. DuUtll j and the Latter RelortsWitk Interest, j luimigratio- Question Dispone of. I The Corliss Bill Agreed To. Washington. May 20. The last but , one of the general appropriation bills the one which provided for fortifications and other works of defense occupies the attention of the senate today, and was passed before adjournment. It curries nearly eleven millions of dollars, about five million more thun It carried when It passed the house. The princi pal Item of increase is the one of $:t.H5, 000 for gun und mortar batteries. There was little or no controversy over nny of the provisions contained In the bill; that a rather Important discussion was precipitated bv an amendment offered to the bill by Mr. C.orman (Dem., Md.) This amendment proposed to authorize the issue of one hundred millions of treasury certificates to Indebtedness, bearing three per cent. In order to meet the expenditures called for by the ap propriation bills of th present session, the agregate of which Mr. Gorman put ut $JO0.OHO,000. The amendment was opposed by Mr. Sherman (Rep.. Ohio) who declared that never befcre hud BUch a proposi tion been mude to meet the current ex penses of the government in a time of profound peace, and who argued that the proper course for the senate to pur sue was to take up the tariff bill passed by the house In the early part of the session, leave olt the free silver amendment, which the senate had at tached to it, and then pass it with such additions as might be deemed wise, in cluding a tax on tea and coffee. He Faid that he would tear up all the ap propriation bills rather than make such a confession of bankruptcy. Mr. Gor man argued that the deficiency In the treasury could not be met in any other way thut that which he proposed. At the close of the discussion the amend ment was laid on the table by a vote of 12 to St. . RIVER AND HARBOR RILL. Earlier In the day a conference report on the river and harbor bill was pre sentde by Mr. Frye (,Rep, Me.) and on effort was made by him to get immed iate action on It. That was resisted however, by Mr. Bncon (Dem, Ga.). who j had learned that the appropriation for j the harbor of Brunswick, Ga., has been i struck out In conference, and who wanted time to argue the matter before the senate, and so Mr. Frye rather re luctantly consented to have the report go over till tomorrow. The only ques tion that was not settled In conference Is the one relating to the deep sea har bor in Southern California. In the pre. limlnary discussion there was Borne sharp criticism of the disposition of nators to adjourn congress without attention to the grave and Important questions regarding action. The house disposed of the Immigra tion iiuestlon today by passing the Mc- Call educational test bill together with the Corliss bill, Intended to protect the lake cities from Canadian competition. The latter was agreed to, 121 to 45. and the amended bill passed 195 to 26. A record of the vote by yeas and nays was refused, only 36 members rl?lng to second the demand by Mr. Fitzgerald (Dem, Mass.) therefor. The consuhir Inspection bill, proposed by Mr. W. A. Stone. (Rep, Penna.) was rejected 75 to 131, He, too, was unable to get a vote of record. The debate on the question was participated In by Messrs. Wilson, (Dem.. S. C.) and Danford (Reb., Ohio) In support of all the bills; by Messrs. McCall (Rep., Mass) and Burtholdt, (Rep., Mo.) In support of the educa tional test bill: and by Messrs. Mahany (Rep., N. Y.) and Hendrlck (Dem., Ky.) against any additional restrict ons. The continuation of the debate was preceded by a sensational outbreak In the Republican ranks against the man agement of the majority. It was pre cipitated by the presentation of an or der from the committee on rules, by Mr. Henderson (Hep., Iowa) setting aside Thursday and Friday (private bill under the rules) for the consideration of measures reported from the commit tee on labor. It was opposed by Messrs. Walker (Rep., Mass.), Plckler (Rep.. 8. D.) I'hntrmun of the committee on invalid pensions, and Muhau (Rep., Pa.) chairman of the committee on war claims, who protested agulnst depriv ing the house of the opportunity to con sider and dispose of the bills on the private calendar.- . MR. WALKER EXPLAINS. Mr. Walker vehemently denounced the "leaders" and asserted that their reign would come to an end with this congress: that In the next house, rules would be adopted by which business could be transacted in accordance therewith, or nothing would be done. He condemned in bitter terms the policy which prevented the government from paying Its honest debts, denouncing it us a shame and disgrace such as no other country In the world labored un der, and asserted that the same policy had been pursued in all the congresses of which he had been a member, by de sign of the leaders, "although I have been a member of congress for eight yearn," he dramatically exclaimed, "I get no more consideration than a dog." Mr. Malum gave notice that In the next session of congress no bllla would he passed by unanimous consent, that they must all take their chances on the consideration of the calendars. The management of the house was defended by Messrs. Cannon (Rep., 111.), Henderson (Hep., la.) and Dalzell (Rep., fa.) v hue the latter was speaking, Mr. Walker Interrupted lilm to sav "that demugogery won't go,"whereupon Mr. Darnell retorte.a white with pas sion, "I will not suffer myself to be In terrupted Dy me nnpudene of tho gen tleman from Massachusetts." Mr. Mahon's motion to recommit the order with Instructions to give the com mittee on labor next Tuestluy instead of Friday, was defeated 55 to 128, and the order as adopted agreed to. President Cleveland's message veto ing the bill to pension Lydla A. Taft, the divorced wife of a de?eased soldier, was read and referred. HUNTER'sTiailf WITH CRANES.

When he' attempted to capture the crippled bird It struck at him viciously with its beak and tried to tear out his cyeB. The infuriated' crane made such a nolso that the rest of the flock returned to Its aid and all set upon Mr. .New man, who beat them off with his gun. The fight lasted until thirteen cranes lay dead upon the field, and the hunter was exhausted before he won his battle. BL00MER?0IRL'SKISS. 8ho Threw It nt a Married Man and Is Fined 93 in Police Court. Wichita, Kan., May 20. Mary Asch croft, a handsome young Rlrl, was ar rested last evening; on the complaint of James F. Fawcett, a merchant, and fined Sft In police court. The offense was that of throwing a kiss over a fence at Fawcett, who was sitting on the porch, -in the presence of his wife. Mill Aschcroft was out taking a spin on btr wheal, and displaying (or the first time a handsome pair of bloomers, anil. feeling rather light of spirit. Khe threw a kisM "Just for fun." as she af terward explained to the Judge. Fawcett s wife did not like it at all. and to conciliate her he had Miss Aach croft arrested for disturbing the peace of mind. The judge held that Pawcett was a man who knew whether his peace of mind was disturbed or not. and as he had sworn that it was. there was nothing- left for him but to inflict the tine.

The victim was Dually resuscitated, but, al though still alive, it Is not thought he will recover. IRON AND STEEL TRADE. Resume of the Industries From Bulletin of the American Steel Associa tion Product ol 1895. Philadelphia. May 20. The Bulletin of the American Iron and Steel asso ciation this week In its resume of the iron and steel trade, says: "While the demand for iron and steel In the early months of 18! has declined, as com pared with the demand in the summer and In the closing months of ISM, influ ences have been at work which have thus far prevented a ruinous shrinkage In prices. In September, 18W. the price of Connelsville furnuce coke was ad vanced from 11.35 to $1.60 per ton, and In December it was still further ad vanced to 12 per ton. which Is the pres ent quotation. Early in the present year an understanding was reached by the producers of Lake Superior Iron ore which closely foreshadowed a mate rial avandce In oron ore prices, and In March these prices Wi re definitely fixed for the year at an advance averaging over 1 per tone above the prices of 1895. These advances In the price of raw materials compelled the manufac turers uf Bessemer pig iron to Increase their prices late In March, and the ad vance then Been red has since been fair ly well maintained. Early in April an understanding with regard to prices was also reached by the producers of Bessemer steel billets, by which the price of billets was promptly advanced, this advance being rendered necessary by the increase in the price of Bessemer pig iron. Other Iron and steel prices have shown varying tendencies In April and May. The Improvement In the de mand for iron and steel In 1895 and the Increase In Iron and steel prices were accompanied by a general advance In the wages of iron and steel workers, coke workers and coal miners. This advance was almost without exception voluntary on the part of the employers and It was also spontaneous. "The recovery of our Iron and sterl Industries in 1895 from the prostration of 1S93 and 1894 was not only complete, but It was remarkable In the magnitude of the results that were attained. In most branches of these Industries the largest production ever recorded was achieved in W95. Steel rails form the only notable exception to the r ule of largest production In that year. "A summary of the leading results established by the statistical details to be presented hereafter is worthy of the prominence that is here given to It, In 1895 the United States made 9.446,308 gross tons of pig Iron, 4.909 128 tons of bessemer steel Ingots; 1,137,182 tons of open , hearth steel, and 6.114,834 tons of steel of all kinds and rolled In all 6,189,574 tons of finished iron and steel. Including rails; there were also shipped In the same year 10,438,268 tons of Lake Superior Iron ore and 8,244,438 net tons of Connellsvllle coke. The year 1895 was the champion year in the produc tion of American Iron and steel." END OF RAYMOND CASES. Verdicts of Not Guilty Rendered in t'ne of Middlctown Bunkers. Philadelphia, May 20.
