Attorney General Cunueen at Albany
has receive! a pelltlon from Wil
liam Kandclph Hearst to commence
proceedings against, the Reading com
pany, the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company, the Central
Railroad company of New Jersey, tin
Lehigh and Wilkes-Barro Coal com
pany, the Lehigh Valley Railroad com
pany, the Lehigh Valley Coal company,

pany, the Temple Iron company, the
De aware and Hudson company, the
New York, Ontario and Western Rail
road company, and the Erie Railroad
company, under the state anti-tru.st
law.
The petition sets forth the allegation
that the:e companies constitute a mon
opoly, which controls the anthracite
ccal fields of Pennsylvania, and are
violating the anti-trust law of the state
The petition Is similar to that pre
sented to Attorney Genera1 Havies anJ

h Citizens He'd Up Coal Train.
Areola, I I., which for the last two
weeks has suffered a fuel famine, had
coal to burn Saturday night.
An Illinois Central train with 1:
cars of coal stopped there to repair the
locomotive and the coal was confiscat
ed by a body, of citizens.
Efforts to buy the coal from the rail
road company were fruitless, so the
crowd, which had lnerease.1 ta 500 or
600 people, set to work to unload It.
Many prominent citizens assisted in
the raid. Among the number were
Colonel J. B. Beggs, president of thq
National bank: the Rev. Edward
Boach, pastor of the Presbyterian
church; the Rev. William W. Prout
pastor of the Free Methodist church,
and Policeman Graft.
Farmers bringing corn to town were
persuaded to turn their wagons into
drays, and they assisted in hauling coal
to those most In need. The coal was
distributed in ton 'lots. A weighs
was secured and a strict account was
kept, In the hope of making a satisfac
tory settlement with the company that
owns the coal.
Banquet on Horse Meat.
Six hundrfd peorjsat down to a
most remarkable banquet In Berlin.
The dishes consisted entirely of
horse meat and were served in various
forms. The society for the preven
tion of cruelty to animals Issued the
Invitations to the dinner, which was
given for the purpose of demonstrating
the nourishing and palatable qualities
of horse meat, thereby causing in
creased consumption of meat and a
ready market for old hcrses.
The bill of fare consisted of horse
soup, pickled horse tongue, filet oi
horse and roast horse. All of the
dishes r,ere nicely prepared and were
evidently greatly relished.
The presiding officer of the society,
Privy Councillor Von Secfeld, sai.1
HO, 000 horses had been eaten in Ber
lin last year and that he hoped for a
Targe increase in the future. Many
j rominent manibers of the relchstag
;ind of the city council were present
; the banquet.
Coal Output Above the Average.
Pennsylvania and Reading railroad
ials claim that for the week ondiny
lay more anthracite coal was tak
iown the main line than for any
ious week In years,
o total is 10,200 of all classes ot
ir an average of 1,700 cars foi
working day of the week equa'
;ly 225,000 tons. This was dis
mm
trlbnted In the companies' territory of
far as New York and along its branch
In this state and elsewhere.
In answpr to the criticism that If so
much coal is mined and shipped why It
does not relieve the famine, it Is stat
ed that there are many Industrial es
tablishments that do not use coke oi
bituminous coal and that many scores
cf these must be supplied with anthra
cite to keep them in operation.
Good Orders For Spring Goods.
The new year starts in aggressively
and well. The wholesale distributive
trade, it Is true, notes something of the
lull usual at this period of the year,
but even here the uniformity Is broken
jy advices that salesmen already on
the road are receiving good orders foi
spring, and that In compliance with
urgent instructions, shipments of
Bpring gocds are being forwarded lib
erally. The feeling of confidence extends
also to woo'en goods, which opened
the year 10 per cent higher than last
year, while raw wool is verjr strong,
with supplies on hand generally small.
A feature in the lumber trade Is the
activity in hard woods, which are in
demand at leading markets.

cabinet at Caracas, all the condi
tions set forth In the replies of the

INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES.
Rtasons Given to Interstate Commerce
Commission by Several Railroads.
Washington, Jan. 13. The Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, the
Michigan Central, tho Baltimore and
Ohio and the Norfolk and Western rail
ways have fl ed with the interstate
commerce commission their answers to
the request of the commission for a
Statement of leasens for the Increase
in freight rates by the trunk line rail
reads on grain, packing house pro
ducts, dressed meats and other articles.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
cites the large increases in taxation as
one reason and also says It must
spend almost $12,000,000 In needed ad
ditions to its equipments.
The Michigan Central says Its rea
sons are the greater increase in the
cost of maintaining and operating its
road, consequent en the increase in
wages of Its employes already made
and additional increases which It is
likely to be compelled to make in the
near future, and the increase in the
cost of materials and large increase
in taxes. The road says that during
the year ending June 30, 1902, approx
imately $58(5,000 was paid for rebates
and other commissions allowed from
the published rates.
The Norfolk and Western says its
enormous traffic has taxed the re
sources of the company to the utmoBt
and equipment additions are needed
Material advances In wages of em
ployes have been made and other ad
vances are In contemplation in the
near future. The increases in freight
tariff, according to this answer, are
necessitated by the advanced price ol
material and the partly advanced price
of labor, and a steady increase of about
$150,000 per annum in taxes.
The demands of the public are stat
ed to be increasing anl the only thing
that the company has to sell Is the
transportation. The price of transpor
tation, the road says, must be suffi
cient for the adequate and proper man
agement and conservation of the prop
erty. The answer of the Lake Shore Is
llor.g similar lines.

HURT IN A RUNAWAY.
Secretary Moody Jumped From Car
riage as the Horses Became Un
manageable. Washington. Jin. 13. The superin
tendent of the naval academy tele
phoned to the White House yesterday
afternoon that during the reception to
Secretary Moody and Senator Hale at
Annapolis the horse3 attached to their
carriage ran away and Secretary
Jloody was thrown out and slightly
bruised. Senator Hale escaped lu
Jury. It seems that Secretary Moody was
driving from the station at Annapolis
lu a carriage containing, besides him
self, Senator Hale, Superintendeut
Brownson and Lieutenant John M.
Buyer, the superintendent's secretary.
As they entered the academy gate
the marines presented arms and a
bugler blew a blast, proving too much
for the nervous horses. One of them
jumped to one side, slipped, and lu
falling broke the pole.
In an Instant the horses were off
and beyond control. The team was
headed directly for the river and see
ing the danger of drowning, Secretary
Moody leaped from the carriage and
fell heavily upon his face.
The driver at the moment managed
to throw the horses towards the offi
cers' quarters and salted the team
without injury to the remaining pas
sengers. It was discovered that the secretary
was bruised, his nose was scarred and
he was considerably shaken up. It
is stated positively that he was not
seriously Injured and will be all right
soon. He refused to alllow himself to
be carried into the commandant's
house and Insisted on walking to a
bedroom where he was put to bed.
Later reports from Annapolis art
that the secretary probably will re
main at Annapolis for a day or two
in order to recover from the shock
resulting from the accident.
He Is quite stout and his fa'l was
so severe as to render him unconscious
for a few minutes. His face Is un
pleasantly disfigured and among the
Injuries is a contusion over one of
his eyes and a cut on his nn3e. Ha
is at tho home of Superintendent
Brownson. of the naval academy where
he will remain during his enforced
stay at Annapolis.
