MtulcdL and SNTglcuI IttpOFltT.
Promiscuous kissing has been infinitely
more productive of disease of various kinds
than the public ever dreamed of, and it is
practice that should be discountenanced. The
people should confine their kissing propen-
stiles to members of their own families. and
even then it is not always safe.

THE CORNER" INQUIRY.
HOW THE PRICE OF COAL IS
FIXED.

The Deals in Wheat and COrn-Scope of
the Transactions in New York-The
standard Oil Company-Its Secrets
Wei Guarded-The Investigation Adj
jOurned.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The Senate Com
mlttee on Corners met again this morning.
The first witness was VIM. j. Hutchinson,
OF Wall street, who testified at some length
in regard to the Hannibal and St. Joe cor
ner. The next witness was Elisha A .
Packer, coal miner and dealer. He said
that the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. the
New Jersey Central Railroad Company.
the Delaware and Lackawanna Company.
the Delaware and Hudson COMPANY.
the Reading Company and Pennsvl-
yania Coal Company substantially
control all the coal brought to this
city. Coal costs 81 - per ton on an aver
age for mining. The prices for transnorta-
ton are based on the market price of coal
They range from q cent per ton per mile
70 IA cent per ton per mile. The average
distance 1t is carried is $50 miles. Wit
ness acknowledged that the companies
he had named combine to fix the price of
coal and to raise it when they think it too
low.
Elmore H. Walker, the statistician of
the Produce Exchange, was examined as
to the yearly sales in the exchange of
wheat and corn. About 80 per cent. of
the total sales, he thought, were for future
delivery. The sales for export were both
for cash and future delivery. More than
half, he should say, were for cash. For
local consumption the sales were mainly
Tor cash. He thought legitimate trade
could be accomplished without selling
every bushel of corn or wheat
about twenty times. A large
portion of all the sales were
purely speculative. The speculative sales
made by the brokers were principally
for outsiders. A large portion of the
amount charged for commissions was paid
out OF the pockets of speculators.
The sales of wheat, including futures.
for eleven months of the present
year were 613, 100000 and of corn 391 .0OO.-
900 bushels. Sometimes corn for imme-
dlate consumption was sold at a higher
price than was demanded if the corn was
to be exported. The object was to sustain
the price. The last month it was reported
that IA cents a bushel more was asked for
wheat to be used here than for wheat that
was to be exported.
John ID. Rockefeller, President of the
Standard Oil Company, and Benjamin
Brewster, Vice President of the National
Transit Line, and Il director in the Stand
ard Oil Company, took the stand, but re-
fused outright to answer any questions
asked. They, however, volunteered some
statements in defense of the organizations
they represented. The committee ad-
Journed, subject to the call of the chair.

A Brothers Cruel Fate.

EOHScttte, Pd., Special, S6.
A terrible tragedy took place at Mount
Carmel, northumberland county, this
State, late last night, which has cast a
gloom over the entire community. The
members of the Welsh CONGREGATIONAL
Church gave an entertainment at Grand
Army Hall, which was participated in bv
singers from Shamoken and other towns.
The utmost good humOr prevailed, and
the festivities were continued until mid
night. When the guests began to depart
they were escorted to the depot by num-
Der of young men and young women,
among whom were James Mosely,
David Powell and his sister
Elizabeth, the latter being accom-
panied by Mosely. After the departure
of the train the escorts started home,
when Mosely made improper advances to
MISS Powell, against which her brother
Indignantly demonstrated. Angry words
followed, and were kept up until the par
ties reached a point at which they were
to separate. MOsely's rage was unap-
peasable, and he called Powell abusive
names. Powell advanced toward Moselv.
who drew long knife and plunged it into
the heart of Powell, the latter falling dead
at his antagonists feet. MOsely, who has
a wife and large family, was Immediately
arrested, and this morning taken to Jail
at Sunbury. Powell was twenty,two
years of age, and belonged to a respec-
table and wealthy family. His sister
Elizabeth is seventeen years old.

SUICIDE OF TWINS.

at Trenton, New Jersey.

Trenton Special.
Ponce officer Joseph Jarvis of the Tenth
district was stabbed on Monday night at
Glrard avenue and Leopard street. Phila-
delphla, by William and Jacob Rusk. The
deadly assault upon the officer was made
While he was assisting officer Stirk in dis.
perslng crowd Of rOughs. The brothers
refused to leave the pavement and made
demonstrations of violence when officer
Stlrk attempted to arrest one of them. A
struggle ensued, and Jarvis, who was on
the other side Of the street, came to
StIrk's assistance. He was in the act of
taking hold of one of the brothers when
he was stabbed from behind and fell to
the pavement with grOan and the muir
derers escaped. From the position of the
stabs it is supposed that the two brothers
struck the officer at the same time, one
from the front and the other from the rear
At five O'Clock this morning two over
coats and hats were found on the bank of
the water power back of the State House.
This afternoon Mrs. Mills. a sister-in-
law of the Rusk brothers. identified the
coats and hats as belonging to her brothers.
The brothers arrived in this city Mon
day night, having left PHILADELPHIA
on the owl train, Bound Brook route, and
were secreted in their sister-in-law's
house until O'Clock this morning. when
they went into the yard, cut down the
clothes line and said they were going to
drown themselves, and where their clothes
would be found their bodies would not be
far away. About $3.50 the body of Will
lam was found, and at $3.50 Jacobs was
also brought to the surface. Both men
had their feet tied with rope and their
hands tied behind them with silk handker-
chiefs. The brothers were twins and
twenty-siX years old. Police Officer Jar
Wis now lies at his residence in Philadel-
phia in a critical condition.

PANIC IN A CHURCH.
Children Tramp1ed Under Foot.


NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-At a Christmas
tide celebration of Trinity Church, Mt.
Vernon, last night, instead of the Christ
mas tree Jacobs ladder had been ar
ranged in the church, It was simply an
ordinary pine ladder trimmed with pines
and cedar. A lighted taper falling among
the dry sprays of evergreen on the ladder
at once caused a blaze, and some one
shouted ''fire!" A stampede Immediately
followed for the doors, which opened
inward, and in few seconds
the weight of hundreds of half-crazed peo-
pie was thrown against them, and no
power could have swung them open. The
children Jared the worst. The men and
women trampled them under foot without
mercy. Fortunately. few cOOl-headed
men succeeded in eXtinguishing the
flames and restoring order. 1t is believed
that no one was seriously injured. About
one thousand men, women and children
were in the church at the time.

LONDON, Dec. 29.-Davitt, in his speech
last night, said that Dublin Castle was
now the fortress to which, constitution
ally speaking, the political ascendancy of
the landlords had been forced to re-
tire. There, he said, they would
make efforts, by the exercise of the
powers which they still possessed,
to regain the political influence
of which the Land League had deprived
them. Unless Earl Spencer, the Lord
Lieutenant, changed his tactics, .the time
would come when even EngIishmen would
demand his recall. The highest to the
meanest Justice Of the Peace in Ireland
belonged to the landlord class. So long
long would the Irish people disregard the
law those Judges administered.

Possibility that the State May be Given
to the Republicans.
HARTFORD, CT, Dec. 29.-The decision
Of Chief Justice Park, declaring the black
ballots usedby the Democrats in the New
Haven city election palpably illegal, has
led to much discussion here as similar
ballots were used in New Haven at the
state and Congressional elections. The
throwing out of 1000 Illegal Democratic
ballots in New Haven, provided that all
other ballots were legal, would elect
the Republican State ticket. While there
is no move to contest the election on the
part of Republican candidates. Mr.. Cole,
Chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee, intends to file a petition in the
Legislature when it assemblies calling at
tentiOn to the illegality of the black bal
lots cast in New Haven, and asking
for an investigation, and forsuch action
as may be lawful and proper under the
circumstances. If such a petition is
filed, it viii be the duty of the Legislature
to investigate. There are different opin-
ions among lawyers here as to the legal
questions involved, but there Is no ques-
ton about the duty of the Legislature to
investigate when petitions or affidavits.
unless charging fraud or other illegali-
ties, are presented.

in $4,000 instituted by Alice W, Slayback
against John A COckerill, managing editor
ofthe Post Dispatch, for the loss of her hus-
band, AlonzO W. Slayback, was dismissed
to-day at the plaintiffs instance and cost.
The suit was filed after the grand jury had
ignored the bill against Cockerill
for killing Slayback. Dispositions
have been taken by the plaintiff,
attorneys during the past three weeks,
but nothing new concerning the tragedy
which resulted in Colonel Slayback's
death was elected except some theOret-
ical expert testimony. The attorneys for
Cockeriu notified the plaintiffs lawyers
that they would begin to take testimony
for the defense at 10o'clOck to-
day. but when that hour arrived
and witnesses for the defense were in
readiness, an attorney for the plaintiff
rushed in and said the suit was dismissed.
