A COMPACT FORMED.
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.

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. ' I stood there aud saw them push
ing at tho door. There was a big crowd
there. Maybe Arty people. I saw Snyder
and other people there, t couldn't tell their
names. - I didn't see Abromaitis there. I
didn't see Matt. Ksrnpowlts there. I haw
ToMALouts TliKRE. They were pushing him
out of the door. He didn't fall when he got
out of the door. I couldn't see. My saloon
is nearly square away.
Q. 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. I saw him ten times after that, or more,
but we didn't talk about the light.
The Miners' hospital physicians who made
the post-mortem examination of the victim
were unable to be present last night. 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.
William Snyder, one of tiie men concerned
in the case, went to the District Attorney's
office at Pottevtlle yesterday and his bail was
increased from $1,000 to $3,000. Karapowitr.'s
bail remains at $1,000. Snyder's father-in-

A mil to Away with tho CongrcMmen-at-X.arge.
Harrlsburs;, Feb. 28. -In the senate
yesterday Mr. Vaughn reported from
the committee on congressional appor
tionment a bill to reapportion the con
gressional districts of the state. The
bill apportions the state into 30 dis
tricts, doing- away with the two of
fices of congressmen-at-large. By the
provisions of the bill Philadelphia and
Allegheny each gains a congressman.
Mr. Sproul introduced a bill to make
a reduction of 40 per cent, more or less,
in the Philadelphia telephone service
charges, and to establish the maxi
mum charges of the whole state. It
makes the maximum charges, within
a radius of two miles from the ex
change, $G a month In all cities with
a population of 100,000, and $4 In all
other cities, towns and villages. An
additional charge of $1 per month for
each mile beyond the two mile limit
is allowed, and where two telephones
are subscribed for by one person the
maximums within the two mlla radius
aro to bo $5and J3.50, according to which
Bide of tho 100,000 line the population
Is on. The penalty for violation of
the act is a fine of WOO. -
In the house the bill repealing the
local option law In the borough of Ver
nona was killed by a vote of CG to 73,

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. P. D
Heller, of the Lel.igh Valley and Wilk-
esua.rre ooal company, was the last
Witness,
With this witness the committee
olosed the taking of testimony for the
present The report should he ready
to lay before the legislature on March
1, but after adjournment Chairman
Lexow announced that he would ask
for an extension until March 9.

From Yesterday's Dally News.
Washington, Feb. 85. The President has
delivered a most scathing criticism upon in
decent newspaper nub. iottiona in denying a
pardon to James B. Wilson, sentenced in
December, 1695. in Indiana, to two years'
imprisonment, $250 fine aud costs for mailing
indecent papers. The President says : "De
nied. This convict was one of the editors
and proprietors and a distributor through the
malls and otherwise of a disgustingly vile
newspaper. His conviction and sentence was
an event distinctly tending to the promotion
ef public morals and the protection of tbo
sons and daughters of our laud from filth
aud corruption at a time when indecent
newspaper publications are so dangerous and
common. Everybody In favor of cleanli
ness should encourage the punishment of
such oQ'enses and desire that it should bo
more frequently imposed. While I am
much surprised by the number.of respectable
people who have Joined in urging clemency
In the case, my duty seems so clear that I
am not in the least tempted to interfere with
the Just and wholesome sentence of tho
court."
