The chief purposes of this orjer in; to ascertain In what physical condi tion a. man Is when he receives hist dischurge, so that It can be compared with his physical status when enter ing the army, and at the same tlmo to fully Inquire into the cause, origin and extent of an ailment. All this Is dene to reduce pension claims In the future to a minimum, and to make It impossible for unworthy claimants to impose upon the liberaltty of the gov ernment. In this connection it may be noted that Major Surgeon Woodbrldge, of tho First brigade, has been appointed js the general examining oflicer for the Third brigade, and ho has conducted his physical examination of the mem bers of the Thirteenth who have receiv ed their discharges lnclde the past week. The Idea of selecting an exam ining officer outside of the brigade Is on account of tho desido to avoid any chance, or even a mere suspicion, of favoritism. Word has been received by some of the membeiB of Company G to the ef fect that Lieutenant John C. Harring ton is now confined to bed at his home In Montrose.

The December letter of the Anthra cite Coal Operators' association says: "During the greater part of Novem ber the market remained In about the same condition that it was at the be ginning of the month, with a slightly Increased demand toward the latter part, but the decided change in the weather during the past few davs of the month materially Increased the de mand, especially from the west, and if this continues for any length of time, stocks will rapidly become depleted, and with cars so hard to secure as they are at present, and consequent inabil ity of dealers to fill their orders on time, there Is reason to believe that prices will advance. In fact, there has already heen an advance on chestnut coal of fifteen cents per ton, f. o. !., although this Is due to the unusual scarcity of this size, stocks of same never having been so low as they are at this time. The demand for all the small sizes' seems to he very steady. "The output of coal for the month of October was 4,700,000 tons, and it Is ex pected that the production for Novem ber will lie somewhat near this amount. What tho tonnage for December will be, cannot, of course, be determined as yet. but in view of the proposed plan for the betterment of the trade and the harmonious feeling which seems to ex ist among the intereMs. the output wilt undoubtedly be leptrlcted, which should be the case If the companies wish to show that they are serious in their in tentions to hrlng about better condi tions, knowing, as they have learned from past experience, that an unre stricted tonnage at the last of the year always results In an overstocked mar ket that takes1 six months of the follow ing year to restore to n normal con dition. "Although the details of this proposed plan have not yet been made public, the fact that such a plan is in exist ence and qultt) certain of fulfillment has tended to make a much more con fident feeling as to the anthracite situ ation, and has given It a tone and firmness that makes tho outlook for 189 much brighter than that for IMS." MAKING CHANGES. In anticipation of the contemplated changes In coal transportation for next year the Delaware and Hudson com pany are making sevorul changes, Tho bi.t yard situated north of Catbondulo Is being enlarged and the tracks al tered. This yard was used extensively for the yarding of tho gravity style of cars and now that shipment by theso cars will cease after tho flit of the year the broader guago tracks must ho used. Tho tracks aie therefore being laid In the legular track gunge and tho Delaware nnd Hudson company will Just leave its big curs in the yard, whejo tho Krle road can easily con tinue them over their road to tho sea board. Tho fact that tho big cars will be used necessltatea changes at the col lieries or several of them. The loaded and empty Hacks in the colliery swlt chea must be altered and tho pockets In tho breakers raised. These minor changes art' nuw underway. Conversa tion with u Delaware and Hudson ofll- j clnl, high in authority, eletd the iUte- ment that nothing beyond the ordinary Is being done by the company, no change of any moment i at present contemplated, but there exists a strong wish that a good, stiff winter will hap pen along and thus bring cheer to ntl In the coal trade. THIS AND THAT. A washerv Is to be elected by the Delaware and Hudson Canal company, near the Itackot llronk breaker at Car bondale, to use up the culm pile at that place. The projected West Branch Valley railroad, connecting the Beading with the Buffalo, ltochester and Pittsburg, will, If completed, shut the Beech Creek railroad out of a large amount of busi ness, Tin fire In the Itavlno ntliio at Plttston Into which water has been pouring for the past sev eral week.', lias been put out, and before many days the work of pumping out the water will be com menced. But seveial months will in tervene befoie the mine will be In loneliness to resume woik. The olllclals of the Pennsylvania Coal company have decided to place an air motor In No. 14 shaft to haul ran be tween the hoisting shaft and the ex treme end of the level heading, which It Is Intended to re-open after a tem porary obandonmont.the distance being one nnd one-half miles". The motor will not be ready for six months yet. The Pennsylvania Ballroad company has put on a night express tialn from 'Pittsburg to New York, starting at 10 P. m. nnd running through In nine hours and forty-five minutes. The train runs over the Trenton cut-off by which the distance through Is about 431 miles. Allowing nine nnd one-half boms for the run of the train to Jeisey City, 430 mllepi, the tate of anted Is forty-five and one-quarter miles an hour. The Pennsylvania Coal company, at Plttston, has been building a founda tion for an additional engine at tlielr water works, and has been using the heavy stone In the masonry fiom old No. 11 shaft, near Dunmore. for thi purpose. The new engine Is put In place so that the water supply will be un interrupted in case the engine now run ning should break down. Miners frequently comment upon the vast amount of machinery that Is being Installed in mines operated by progres sive firms, and draw the conclusion from it that there Is going to be much less pick-mined coal produced In futuie, which Is entirely correct. With coal mining machinery attaining perfection by leaps and bounds, forty to fifty-ton railway cais, locomotives that will haul 2,000 tonsand collleis on the lakes that will carry 10,000 tons, there Is bound to bo an evolution that has within It the germs of a revolution. Owing to a rush of orders, the Scian ton Axle works yesteiday began to work overtime. REMARKABLE CASE. Shows That Elliott L. Duckworth Was Murdered. St. Louis, Dec K. Dr. Otto Sutter, superintendent of the city hospital, says th'. oiho of the KUiott L. Duck worth, who was mysteilouslv shot In Forest Park In June. 1897, was one or the mo.st remarkable that ever came under his observation 'I recall all the circumstances of that case now," raid Dr. Sutter. Tin patient was entered on tho hospital records as Edward Dolling. That was the name on a card found in his pos session. It was a month before we found out that was nr his name. "At first he would icply to the nume of Dolling and he said that that wns his name. I talked to him many times but he could not recall anything of the past. Ho was alwaye sure that no had not attempted to kill himself but he could not tell how he came to bo wounded. "Later tho patient Improved and he finally said that his name was Elliott L. Duckworth and that his home was In Springfield, Mo. He said his sister, Mrs. Eva C. Hutchinson, lived in Hutchinson, Kas She afterwards came for and took him to her home." C. M. Duckworth, a brother of the dead man, arrived here today. He be lieves Elliott was murdered and asks that the police department put men on tho track of the murderer. SHARKEY-M'COY FIGHT. Articles of Agreement Have Been Signed Tim Hurst the Referee. New York, Doe. S Articles of agree ment for a 20-round boxing contest be tween Tom Sharkey and "Kid" Mc Coy, to take place at the Lenox Ath letic ilub, this city, on Jan. to, were signed today by both principals. The men are to box for a purse of $20,000 and 50 per cent, of nil receipts exceed ing 40,000. Tim Hurst was mutually chosen as referee. In order that the light may not result In a fiasco like the Shaikey-Corbett affair, the articles provide that the Interference of any of the lighters' seconds or their Invasion of the ring will not slop the contest Any second or outsider who tries to enter the ring during tho contest will bo immediately placed under arrest.

Hairisburg, Dec. 8. The state fish commission transmitted to Governor Hastings toduy a report of its opera tions for tho fiscal year Just closed. The work of tho commission bus been much hampered by tho failure of the last legislature to make tho usual ap propilatlon. The next legislature Is oNpceted to make an appropriation suf ilclent to cover the cxgmses of the commission the next two years and tc tmbursj tho Individuals and clubs who advanced tin money to carry on the work the past eighteen months. The commission requests the gover nor to urgo the legislature to fix at least a six Inch limit of size for the legal killing of any species of trout and that the minimum size at which black bass may be killed shall be raised from six to nln Inches. The commis sion also recommends that the llsh warden system be so changed that d sp.'cined number of wardens may be appolrted at a salary that will bo sufficient for the state to demand their whole time. Efforts are making by the commlrsloners to secure the passage of a law to prccnt the pollution of streams. TO FIGHT CARNEGIE. Federal Steel Company's Purchase of a Railroad Interpreted. Pittsburg, Dec. S. Iron and steel men, as well as railroad men, are dis cussing with great Interest the pur chase of tho Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling Hallway by the Federal Steel company. 'jJelano Luce of the Great Noithern railroad, who is in the city, says, regarding the sale of the road: "The consensus of opinion around the lakes seems to bo that tho Federal Steel company has tightened up its lines by the purchase of this line coal read, and that It is ready to begin a war piomlsed against the Carnegie Steel company. Since Johnson moved his big steel mills from Johnstown to Loialn he has been very busy improv ing, and now the biggest lake steam ships can coino up to the doors of the mllN and take on goods and unload ore. All that was needed was a road con creting the Immense mills with some coal field, and by tho purchase of the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling the Federal people have got Into tho finest coal district In tho country. You will find soon a most bitter fight on between rival concerns. It looks like a battle with the lake front concerns arrayed against tho Interior steel manufactur er?."
