Senator Loncli mid Coyle Agulntt tho County Commissioners. News oonie by way of Harrisburg to the ofleet that Schuylkill county's two Senators have pooled their grievance In au effort to strike at the present board of County Com- mlMouors. It appears that the latter, in making their uppolntmento this year, com muted tho unpardonable sin of not consult ing with the two legislative dignitaries above mentioned, and henoe Senators Loach and Ooyle hare determined to use tholr present positions to strlko at Messrs. Rente nnd Meyers. Senator Coyle has Introduced a blUtuat provides for the election of County Solloltor by the people, thus taking the appointing power from the County Commissioners. The bill further provide) that the Governor shall immediately, upon tho passage of the bill, appoint a County Solicitor to serve until January, 1803, when the people shall elect a person for that position. Simultaneously with the Introduction of the Coyle measure, Senator Losch presented a bill which takes the appolntmont of tho warden and all other county prison officials out of tho hands of the Commissioners and places tho authority with tho county court, uie political complexlsn of which at present is Democratic. It Is an open secret that neither Senator Coyle, nor Senator Losch, were pleased with the "hill" appointments, many of their friends being turned down, and they them selves were not consulted as to who should secure thoso plums a grievous wrong in the eyes of these two politicians. It is said the bills aro not popular with tho powers that be at Harrisburg, and that the chances for their unnl passage Is anything but encouraging to toe bonatorial combine. The fact that tho two Senators have always been at daggers' points politically, causes many to doubt the sincerity of either. In fact, it is now said that Senator Covlo has broken faith with his new lovo, and will do all ho can to defeat both bills if the County Commissioners will mako a placo In their office for a man tho Senator would name. This offer, howevor, has been refused. The outcomo of tho compact is being watched with a great deal of interest by Schuylkill politicians, and tho result will have considerable to do with the future course of many of tho local statesmen.

THE TOPLOfllS ' INQUEST BEGUJL Several Witnesses Tell Contradictory Stories to the Jury. OKE WITNESS HAS DISAPPEARED. The Widow of the Vlttira Refuses to Ap pear Before the. Deputy CoronerThe Investigation Has Been Con tinued to Seeure More Deputy Coroner Manley and a jury last night opened the investigation into the cause of the Injuries from which Thomas Tomalonls died at the Miners' hospital. The Jury secured for tU purpose Is composed of John Scanlsn, JosepB IL Manley, James J. IWoll, Patrick Qmners, P. J. Flaherty, Johu J. Heady, Deputy Distriet Attorney M. P. Me- Laushlln was nreaentand conducted the ex amination ot the wiftietses before the Jury. Martin Moore, the court stenographer, took the testimony for UlS Commonwealth. William Snyder and Matt. Kaparowitx, who are charged with having beaten the deceased and Ufllotlng the injuries from which he died, did not appear at the Inquest. The meet striking development at the inquest was an apparent determination to shield the assail ants of the deceased, whoever they may be. More than ono of tho witnesses told contradic tory stories before tho jury, and none of them testified with frankness. The evidence also showed that a very Important witness lias dis appeared. Oonstabje Matt. Qlblon aud special olllcor Anthony Alex were sent after the widow oi tho deceased, but she refused to go to the Coroner's olllce, or elsewhero. Sho has evidently decided to drop tho case, whloh is directly in contrast with her disposition when tho warrants were first issued for the arrest of Snyder and Kaparowitz. The first witness at the inquest was Dr. W.N. Stein. Ho testified that between 11 ana 1W o oioct on the night of Saturday, Dec. 10th, 1800, Thomas Tomalonls called at his office. The doctor examined his head carefully and found two two scalp wounds. Tbo man was covered with blood. The wounds appeared to have been made with a stone. The man's hat was cut through and there were marks of road dirt on it. The dooior did not detect any fracture of the skull at tho time. Tomalouis was sent to the Miners' hospital on the doctor's recommendation because he developed symptoms, of epilersy. The doo- tor testiucd that the wounds he found on the man's head would produco such symptoms and that ho had seen such wounds cause death. Tho doctorand Chief Burgess Burns took the man homo. Tomalouis was able to walk home, but had to be led. William Buskawiox, of 30 East Contro street, was called and testified that ho was a relative of Tomalouis and saw mm in Joe Vinikaltls houso on Sunday, Dec. 20th, the day after tho assault. Tomalonls did not say who attacked him, but Victor Washofski said that William Snyder assaulted Tomalonls, Victor said that Tomalonls camo in Snyder's saloon and called for a drink and didn't pay for it. Snyder pnt Tomalouis out and Matt. Kaparowitz hit Tomalonls with a stove raker. Victor Washefski was called and directly contradicted tho last witness. He said he went to Mahanoy City at 7 o'clook on tho night of December 10th. ne did not tell William Buskawlcz that Snydor or Kara. powltz beat Tomalonls, but Buskawlcz told him that. Buskawlcz again took the stand and swore that In conversation somebody said that Tomalonls was beaten by a woman. Victor Washofski said, "Is that so?" and added in a knowing way that Snyder put Tomalonls out of the former's saloon and as the man was going out the door way Matt. Knrapewitz struck him over tho hoad with a stove raker. William Molouowsky was the most im portant witness at the Inquest. He tostified, "On tho night of December 10th I was in Snyder's saloon, nt about nine o'clock. I was there about ten min utes and found Tomalonls there. I was a littlo drunk myself. They com menced quarreling about S3 conts. Snyder camo from behind the bar atd caught hold ef Tomalonls by the coat collar and arm and twisted Tomalonls around. Then Snyder gavo up and went behind the bar nnd tboy wore drinking again. Afterwards we. went out. I don't know Matt. Karapowitz. There were about oigbt inon in tho place. Q. What was the trouble about the 26 cents? A. On account that Tamalonls didn't want to pay for the drinks. Suyder didn't put him. out. He only pushed him by tho door aud left him thore. Nobody helped him that I saw. I didn't see auybody hit Tomalouis on the head and I didn't see Tomalonls bleeding. I didn't seo anybody throw any thing at him. Tomalonls stood at the door a little while nnd then went out. I have a brother named John. I don't know whore he Is. He went away some place overa week ago. I didn't know he was going away. I know ho has gono because he is not at his house. He was in Snyder's saloon on the night of tho fight. The witness explained his uncertainty about the proceedings during the Unlit in the saloon, by a statement that he was pretty druuk himself. Michael-Leuatowlcz, au East Centre street saloonkeeper, was called and swore that he was not in Snyder's saloon, nor did he see Tomalonls at any time ou Dec. 10th. He was at Tomalonls' house after and Tomalouis said that Matt. Karapowitz had lilt him with a poker or something. He didn't mention Snyder's name. William Saduakey, tbo special officer was called and testified: 1 saw Tomalonls on the night of Deo. 10th, between 0 and 10 o'clock. I met him at the corner of Main and Centre streets. He was covered with blood. I asked him what was the matter. He said he wanted to see a doctor. I took him to Dr. Stein's. He didn't tell me who hit him, but said it was at Snyder's. I heard talk about the case after. Michael Lon.ito wlcx, the saloonkeeper, told me that he saw William Abroinaitis beat Tomalonls. He said Touwlonls was thrown out of the saloon and he saw Abromaitis have Tomalouis down in the gutter aud kick him. Ieuatowlcz was again called to the stand. In his previous testimony he had sworn that he did not see Tomalouis that night. Q. Did you see Abromaitis beating Toma louis ? A. No sir. Q. Did you say se to William Sadusky 1 A. Borne people were stendingat Wycbulis' saloou door and made an alarm that some body was fighting at Snyder's saloou. I went from behind my bur and went to the pavement.

How is it you could recognize Tomalonls and couldn't recognize the ethers who were pusblug him out? A. It was too far away. I know Tomalonls for a long time. He was a big fellow. Q. Did you watch Tomalonis after he came out of the door ? A. No, I didn't ; when I ssw the fight I went back into the house. Q. Why didn't you tell us n while ago what yon saw? A. Because you didn't ask me. (). What made you tell Saduskey you saw Abromaltlt beatTomalonls In the gutter? A. I didn't. Q. Have you seen Snyder since that fight occurred? A.

An other session of the inquest will be held upon the call of the Deputy Coroner, when the doctors and other witnesses will be ex amined.

Committee. WOFUL DISPLAY OF IGNORANCE I Ken Who Are Powers In the Coal Business Deolaro That They Bo Not Know the Present PriceThe OemmlUee Concludes Taking of Testimony. New York, Feb. 2. The alleged coal oombine wai the special object of In quiry yesterday by the Joint legisla tive committee on trust. President Bam Sloan, of the Delaware, Lacka wana and Western Kallro&d company, was the first witness called. In reply to a question by Senator Lexow, Mr. Sloan said that a conference of coal road men was held In this city in 188. ThPhlladelphla and Reading, Llilgh Vmpy, New York Central, Delaware anT IIudBon, the Pennsylvania, the New York, Lake Erie and Western, the I New York. Ontario and Western, and other roads were represented at the meeting. Witness said that the con ference lasted several hours, and that it was understood that every man in the conference had pledged his honor to maintain the allotments apportion ed them in the coal carrying trade. Mr. Sloan could not remember the price of lump coal at that time. When asked what was the necessity for in creasing the price of coal after Feb. 1, 1896, he responded: "Coal at that time was low in price. We thought we had the right to fix the price on our com modity." President E. B. Thomas, of the Erie railroad, the next witness, declared that the restriction ot output Increases the demand for ooal among the con sumers, but asserted that the amount to be produced was never discussed at any meeting he attended. He did not know, he Bald, that the price of coal had been increased after the confer ence, in reply to tne question wnat is the price of coal now?" he responded: I do not know, but I think a slight increase In price had been made in 18WS over the price charged In 1895." F. H. Gibbons, treasurer of the Del aware, Lackawanna and Western rail road, testified that the price of coal was higher by 40 cents a ton In 1899 than at the corresponding period of 1896. He too declared that he did not know the present price. Edwin n. Holder, vice president of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern, testified that there were no stated meetings of coal agents. He declared that prior to trie. 1880 conference prices were ruinously low. Richard H. Williams, general sales agent for the Erie railroad, testified that It was customary for sales agentB to meet In conference and discuss the output for the succeeding month. He recalled three or four such conferences and admitted sellinc directly to re tailers. Witness said that the Septem ber circular would show an increase of $1 a ton had been made within the year preceding the date of the confer ence of prebldents held prior to Feb. 1, 185G. The subject of combination" in the coal trade was dropped temporarily while the committee listened to the testimony of Francis H. Krenning, a wholesale grocer doing business at St. Louis, regarding hla experiences with the sugar refineries. Mr. Krenning said that he had refused to accept the fac tors' agreement In vogue by the Amerl can Sugar Refining company, and In consequence he could not procure that company's product without paying an extra charge. Witness said that the factors had to choose between selling the product of the American Sugar Refining company and foreign sugars. Foreign refineries sell at a lesser price than the American company because they aro satisfied with a smaller mar gin of profit: owing to the cheapness or labor in Europe compared with that in America. Witness said he was con fronted with a similar state of affairs with the coffee kings and the Ameri can Mouacco company, ir there was a larger tariff put on foreign sugar his firm would have to go out of business or take the alternative and sign a fac tors' agreement. OUnton W. Wiener, of Walden, N. Y vice president of the Stevens Coal company, and Joseph II. Dickenson sales agent of the New Turk, Ontario and Western railroad company, also testified. Tha latter declared that Im mediately after the conference of pies Jdents it was found that bankruptcy was Hanng tne company In the faco. whlch necessitated the Increase In the price of coal whloh, followed.
