now moving to this port daily an average of four
hundred and fifty carloads of coal from the
Wilkesbarre region by the way of Phllipsburg,
and one hundred and sixty carloads of Scran-
ton coal by the way of Washington which is about
the same average as last year. AnIotficer of the

with the increased facilities that have been COM
pleted during the present strike, they will be
running one thousand carloads of coal per day,

Alfred Ziegmeyer, the German who was
brought to this port in the Weser on Friday, to
answer charge of numbering William Gum
bleton in Chicago in March, is a young man
twenty.o years of age, of pleasant address,
with features in which it would be difficult to
trace indications ofthe ierocity and determina-
ton usually associated with great criminals. He
is about five feet ten inches in height, slightly
but strongly built. The shape of his head is re-
markable the skull, at the back being perfectly
fiat, as if crushed in by the application of some
enormous pressure. His face is almost circular,
owing to the great width of the cheek-bones;
aud the most singular feature in it is the great
space between the eyes, which are small and Of
a light blue color.
Ziegmeyer says that he last saw Gumbleton
in a lager beer saloon in Chicago on the
evening, he thinks, of the 18th of No
vember. On the following day finding that
Gumbleton did not return to his lodgings he
appropriated his effects, among them the letter
of credit on which he afterwards raised the
money. He confesses this theft, but vehemently
denies that he is a murderer. After possessing
himself of the money he says he went TO
Europe, not deeming he would be pursued, and
accounted for his sudden wealth to his parents
by reporting that he had been fortunate in spec
ulatiOn. The first use he made of the money
was 10 pay off a mortgage on his fathers farm,
and he was anticipating life of comparative
ease, when he was arrested. He told his story
at police headquarters huently and naturally,
but is evidently i'll at ease in his mind, and
trembled several times during its recital.

not recognize such an act as theft, and went
away sorrowful.
