When Conductor Flaherty, asked for Stein hllber'8 fare he received a fefusal garnished with language that was mire forcible than elegant. Persuasions aud Areata failed and finally tho conductor notified Motorruan Kleese to stop the rar. Tb work of ejecting the obstreperous passenger commenced. The other passengers made space for the fray aud after several long, strong pulls Steiuhllbor was ejected. As he landed Upon the ground he picked up a large stout aud hurled it through one of the car windows. Foi tunatoly none of the passengers wore struck by It. The conductor and motorinau were about to resume the journoy when Steinliiiber prepared to -throw more stones. Kteinhilbef was threatened, but bo responded with doflahcennd tho crew decided to take no risks. Flaherty and Klccso left the car and grappled with the ruilian, liotwillis'.andlug bo Inado a movo to draw a revolver.

He proceeded to more his be longings from the office be rented at the corner of Jardln and I.loyd streets without striking a balance with the land lord and had made the removal complete before the representative of the latter appeared upon tbe scene. Constable Tallesiu Phillips was celled into play. lie followed tho goods to the Fergu on House. Tlie first thing be found was a bicycle belonging to Mrs. Wr'gbt. This was qulokly confiscated and later some furniture was levied upon. Tlie optician intended leaving town last night, but the turn in a flairs caused a postponement of the de parture. Quite a stir was caused at the hotel by tlie incident and it waa in creased when the Constable was warned to give up tlie bicycle or take the consequences. Philips held on to the wheel, however, and paid no heed to the claim tlt It belobgcd to Mrs. Wriglit. It subsequently developed that both Wright and bis wife bad signed the Iron clad lease and that tbe property of both -were subject te legal process In default of payment of rent. A replevin suit was threatened and tbe re ply was made that should the trouble be pro longed the landlord would insist upon rent for six months, as provided by the lease, but If a settlement was made only tbo amount for the unpaid month would be asked.

Coal WHILE BITUMINOUS INCREASES I In Pennsylvania the Froduotlon of Anthra cite Decreased Nearly 4,50,000 Tom Below the Production of 1891 and 1,000,000 Below Last Year. 'Phlln'delpliia, June '11. The compila tion of the statistics of coal production in the United States In 18M .which has Just been completed by Statistician E. W. Parker, of the United States geo logical survey, shows that the product In 1896 was 190,639,969 short tons, valued at $195,557,849, against 193,117,530 short tons, valued at 197,799,043, In 189E, a decrease of 2,477,671 short tons in amount and of $2,241,391 in value. The decrease In nroduct .was entirely in that of Pennsylvania anthracite. The output of bituminous coal shows an In crease of about 1,750,000 tons. The an thracite product of Pennsylvania de creased nearly 4,250,000 tons. It . is a notable feature, however, that there was a decrease In the value of the bi tuminous product of over $1,600,000, not withstanding the increased output, and that there was a comparative Increase In the value of anthracite, although on account of the smaller production it did not equal the value in 1895. The average prices obtained for anthracite at the' mines Increased from $1.44 in 1R9! to $1.51 in 1806. The average price for bituminous declined from 86 cents to 83 cents. Among the Important bituminous coal producing atates Pennsylvania, of course, stands first, with an output ot nearly 50,000,000 tons. Illinois is an easy second, with nearly 20,000,000 tons, or more than 75 per cent of the com bined product of West Virginia ami Ohio, which comes third and fourth, respectively. The race between Ohio and West Virginia was very close in 1896, there being lint 1,000 tons differ ence, nnd the outiuit of each nearly 13,000,000 tons. These four states yield about 70 per cent of th total bitumi nous production. Pennsylvania's bituminous product was a little more than 1,000,000 tons loss than in 1896. Ohio lost 480,000 tons. West Virginia Increased her output about 1,600,000 tons, and Illinois about 2.000,000 tons. The other Important states showing Increased production wore Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, In dian Territory, Kentucky, Maryland and Texas, while Indiana, Iowa, Kan sas, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington nnd Wyoming show decreased produc tion. West Virginia had the most im portant Increase nmonc the Appal achian stateB, Illinois In the middle west, and Colorado was the only state In the Iiocky mountain region whose production Increased.
