THE SCRANTON TRIBUJNJ&-MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1899. COLD WAVE HELPS THE COAL TRADE BRISK DEMAND AT ALTj THE ANTHRACITE CENTRES. General Coal-Salon Agents Will Meet in New York Tomorrow for the Purpose of Agreeing on the Pro duction for tlio Year Future- of the Trade Envoloped in Doubt A Ohango Is Certain Outlook as Seen by Operators and a Trust worthy Trado Journal. The cold wavo ot the lmt few Java ban hail a good effect on the anthracite coal trade. There Is an exceptionally brisk demand for anthracite nt nil coal centre?. A meeting of the Ben oral coal sales oRcnts has been called for the purpose of uRi-eelns tipoit the production of the" present year, and It Is likely that the output will he reduced, and the system which has been In Vogue for the past two months will be done away with and more restrictions ordered. Just what the future of the anthra cite coal huslness will be no one ppcm to he nble to Kay nt this time. That a revolution In Its management will be wrought (luting the next two years Is certain. Men of great wealth and un told resources havo had their atten tion attracted strongly to the coal fields durlivr the last few years and their money Is (lowing Into the coal Ileitis. They will soon be In a position lo definitely proclaim their plansi Thus far shrewd guessing on the part of thcHe In close touch with the co.il trade Is all that has reached the imb 11c TIIR Ol'KUATOHS' VtKW. "There has been little change In market conditions during January." says the February letter of the An thracite Coal Operators association. i:ach few days of coin weather brought In orders to hasten shipments, and when these passed, the demand relaxed. So far hk consumption was concerned. It has been n weather mar ket, similar In all respects to past months, anil showing that the dealers have not sutllclent confidence In the stability of prices to carry in stock moie than enough to fill their current ilemaml. Prices have been fairlv steady, though low. In the Kast, prices soften a little toward the close of the month, but In the West and at some Northern points, there has been .i temporary scarcity of certain sizes, owing to the unexpectedly heavy de mand during the cold spell In Decem ber, and prices have been firmer, and In some cases advanced. "In the tide market no change can be expected other than a temporary movement caused by the weather. This might posflbly result In a scarcity of some sizes and consequently higher prices. While it is generally expected that an effort will be made to mater ially strengthen prices dining the com ing months, there is no certainty that this will be done. It involves the con summation of plans which have long been talked of. Whether any tangible results will be evolved this time re mains to be seen. In any event, the usual quantity of coal has been sold for future delivery, and an advance In price would have relatively little effect on the market for some months to come." FEKLIXO OF rONFIDE.VCrc. "A feeling of confidence pervades the anthracite coal trade regarding the outlook," Is the way the Engineer ing and Mining Journal of Saturday expresses it. "Predictions are freely made that the consumption will be the heaviest for several years and that the year is going to be a good one. Certainly it has started well. The January production wait in round numbers U.'OO.itOO tons, or 600,00a tons more than In lbOS. The amount Is de cidedly larger than was expected, yet, thanks to the weather, stocks have not accumulated. "The present cold snap Is finishing many supplies of coal laid In , last fall, and buying during the latter half of this month, and March should be unusually active. "Talks of 'agreements' and 'pacify ing the independent operators' contin ues. The fact that some of the com panies are working less than full time is used as an argument on Wall street PECULIAR POISONS. GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY Tho Result of Imperfect Digestion of Food. Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within Itself the germs of certain decay nnd death. In tho human body these uerms of death (called by scientists Ptomaines) are usually the result ot imperfect digestion or food: the result of Indi gestion or dj'fpepsla. The stomach, from abuse, weakens, does not promptly and thoroughly di gest the food. The result Is n heavy, sodden mass, which ferments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making It thin, weak and lacking In red corpuscles: polponlng the brain, causing headaches, pain In tho eyes. Had digestion weakens (ho heart, causing palpitation and "finally bring ing on disease of this very Important organ. Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Ilrlght's dlscape and diabetes. And this Is so becauso every organ, every nervo depends upon tho stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows Itself not only In loss of appetite and Mesh, but In weak nerves and muddy complexion. The great English scientist, Huxley, said the best start In life Is a sound stomach. Weak stomachs fall to digest food properly, because they'lack tho proper quantity of digestive nclds (lac tic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic products; the most sensible remedy in all cases of Indigestion Is to tuke after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, becauso they supply in a pleasant, harmless form all tho ele ments that weak stomachs lack. Tho regular use of Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets will euro any form of stomach troublo except cancer of the stomach. They Increase fiesh.lnsuro pure blood, strong nerves, bright eye and clear complexion, becauso all these result only from wholesome food well di gested. Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 60 centB for full sized package or by mall by enclosing price to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., but ask your druggist first. A little book on stomach diseases mailed free. Address Stuart Co,, Marshall, Mich. Infants arc effected by foods taken by the nursing mother. Prof. W. B. Chcadlc, of St. Mary's Hospital and author of a treatise on the feeding of infants, has shown 'by experiments that wasting diseases, will result from de priving children of fats and hypophosphitcs. Dr. Thompson says Cod liver oil is what such mothers and infants require. "Scott's Emulsion" is pure Nor wegian Cod-liver oil with hypophosphites. cec. nd lt.ro, All dniftfcisu. SCOTT & BOWNE, ChemUu, NtwWk. to prove that the companies are re stricting production. As a matter of fact prices have been weak all winter, and except for chestnut and pea tho supply nt ruling quotations hue fully equalled the demand. The companies that are working short time nre poll ing all tho coal tho market will tuke at current prices. The simple fact Is that productive capacity Is now fur In excess of demand, and the opening of new fields and tho erection of now breakers Indicate that It Is likely to remain in excess. THAT PHOPOS13D ROAD. "The talk ot a now roatl, the New York, Wyoming and Western, to he built by the Independent operators, continues. The gist ot the matter seems to be that the Independent op erators are not' particularly anxious to build the road, but have determined to build It unless they secure more favorable traffic, arrangements from the anthracite roads. It ha been sug gested that the company With $20,000, 000 capital mentioned last week that was lo take tho excess monthly pro duction of the independent operators and dispose of It 'in such a way as not to disturb the market' may be going Into the export business. At least, cer tain Western newspapers have con tained references to n line of colliers that Is to run to Europe as the result of a recent effort to work up a foreign market. "Trade in the West Is very active and supplies of coal are seen to be short. This shortage Is likely to be felt both at the head of the Lakes and in Chicago territory. Wore It not that roads built to haul coal to tide do not cure to let cars go West, a large amount of coal would go forward by rail. Inland trade at all Eastern points Is good. Seaboard trade Is best about New York. Boston had good stock;; on hand nnd trade has been slack there, but the present cold wave Is expee'eu to bring buyers Into the market again. Prices 0iow little change, for, as previously noted, coal has been In liberal supply all winter, and we continue to quote free burning white ash f. o. b. New York: Hroken, $3.20: egg, $8.33; stove, $3.60; nut, ?3.35." JACOB ERIN SENTENCED Sent to tho Eastern Penitentiary for Five Years and Three Months. Cleary and tho Cavr Brothers Convicted. Jacob Erin, the North Scranton butcher, who on Thursdav was con victed of assaulting Jennie Shinier, the 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shinier, who live near the Driving park, was on Saturday sen tenced to five years and three months at hard labor In the Eastern peniten tiary and directed to pay a line of $1 and costs-'. In sentencing him, Judge Edwards said: "Your crime is a serious one, and the community must be protected. The suffering for your crime will fall on your family. I have no doubt of the justice of the verdict and you should be ashumed ot yourself."

Cleary und William and Jamep Carr were given one year nnd nine months each In the Eastern penitentiary. Michael Carr, ho is but fifteen years of sige, was hent to the Huntingdon reformatory.

What Is Said to Be a Mastodon's Tusk Pound Up Thoro Not many months since Blnghamton furnished tho public with tho startling statement thnt a full sized under ground laUo had been discovered. In stend of placing It beneath IllnKham ton, Itself, tho discoverer located the lalce beneath Leicestershire, nn outly ing suburb. Enough time had pone by to still tho rising fears but now, ns If In proof of the existence of a lake tho discovery ot a mastodon tuslc Is an nounced. this men wouui seem to be ono of a series of Units In a chain of evl dence to prove possibly that whero Ulnghamton and the surrounding ter ritory now is, was onco in tho days now dead, a vast lake, upon whoso shores mastodons nnd lesser creatures wore wont to bask In whatever light wns had nt that time. EXCITING EVENTS IN CAMP M'KENZIE THE PROBABLE FATE OF THE MINNESOTA RIOTERS. Captain Robert J. McCausland and Lieutonnnt John C. Harrington Havo Roturnod to Camp Mombora of tho Thirteenth Who Havo Re cently Beon Admitted to the Hos pital Private John P. Connolly, of Company A, Has Been Discharged from tho Sorvlco Camp Gossip. Special to Tho Tribune. Camp MacKcnzic, Augusta, Oa., Feb. 12. More Interesting and memorable events have filled up the past few days of camn lite than had formerly boon accustomed lo develop In months. lie ginning with Sunday morning nnd con tinuing up to the present time, every hour has been filled with Its own shore of excitement. It may bo stated with safety that there Is little, or no, sym pathy whatsoever among the troops here with the actions ot tho hot-headed members ot the Fifteenth Minnesota, who not only have broiiRht disgrace upon themselves and their regiment, but have caused Incalculable troublo and nnnoynnco to everybody else In camp. The chief charges which the offend ers will have to answer will Include disobedience to orders, striking officers, striking a sentinel, and mutiny tho latter throe being among the highest crimes enumerated in the "Articles of War," and which, in the discretion of a court-martial, may be adjudged worthy ot tho penalty of death. It Is said that tho punishment may Include several years In a United States fort ress at hard labor, stoppage of nil pay and allowance1), and then a dishonor able discharge. NON-COMS WILL SUFFER. The unfortunate non-conimlssloned officers will, likely, receive very severe pennltles. The few members of the Thirteenth who were wvm'iK out ot mere curiosity and taken prisoners, will hardly receive any punishment, but may be reprimanded. Captain Robert J. McCausland and Lieutenant John C. Harrington, of Company G, havo arrived In camp. Captain McCaueland was taken sick while on his wedding tour, Sept. 30, at which time ho was away on a twenty day leave of absence. Typhoid, the germs of which had gotten Into his sys tem, developed rapidly, and, for a time, his life was despaired of. When suf ficiently recovered. Captain McCaus land was taken to his home in Mont rose. He now looks well, and Is in per fect health. Lieutenant Harrington was hIfu taken down with typhoid nt Camp Meade, whence he was taken to the Harris burg city hospital, where he remained till November 15. He was then given n long sick leave of absence. Captain McCausland and Lieutonnnt Harring ton received a flattering welcome on their return from the members of their company. Privates Obed A. Michaels and Georgr Sackett, of Company C, have been taken to the division hospital. The former Is suffering from a case of grippe, and the latter from jaundice. Neither case is perlous, and it is expected that they both will be all right In a few days. Private Oscar I'lttack, of Company A, is also a victim of Jaundice, but an Idea of Its seriousness may be gained from tho fact that be is being treated in the regimental hospital. HONORARLE DISCHARGE. Private John P. Connolly, of Company A, today received an honorable dis charge from tho service of the United States, the same having been directed by an order from the war department. The discharge was made necessary by reason of tho fact that he has been rendered partially deaf by an attack of fever, from which he has recently re covered. Lieutenant Marcus R. Crlsninn, ot Company G, has been formally relieved of his duties as quartermaster at the division hospital. Major Wood, .if the First battalion, and Lieutenant l. J. Davis, of V, have returned to camp after an absence of a few weeks. Private Guy Haight, of G, who was taken sick with tvuhold fever several months ngo at Camp Meade and after wards.when sufficiently recovered, given a sick furlough, has returned to camp, and Is now in the enjoyment of good health. G Company has now every man present and able for duty. Sergeant Harry Eade of E, is still confined to the regimental hospital, where he Is being treated for an attack of cold. Private Martin Howley, of C, who has been In the hospital for the past week, is now much Improved, and all the III effects' of bis recent sickness are rap idly disappearing. Privates James O'Royle and Gustavo Rieniko have been detailed for ten days ns a company's cook. They are giving thorough satisfaction. Corporal Olln Tlngley, of G is In tho After the Fever Llttlo Clrl Wns Weak and Could Not Eat-Hood's Saranparllla Cnvo Hor Appotitonnd Strength Eczema Disappearing. "My little girl was sick for several months with typhoid fever, and after she got over it she was weak and did not eat. My husband sot her a bottlo of Hood's Barsaparllls, saying it would mako her eataud give hor strength and it did. She had taken it only a short time when she was well and strong, Ereryone who sees her is surprised at her improvement because she was bo weak and thin, but now is fat and healthy. I am giving her Hood's Sarsaparilla now for eczema and the troublo is fast disappearing. My hus band has taken it for rheumatism and it haB done him good." Mns. Clinton B.
