1t appears that about II, 900. 600 Of tons
OF coal per year is the amount yielded by
the chief coal districts Of Great Britain
Newcastle, South Wales and the CIy,ie
csuntry-and, assuming this TO represent
the average annual consumption for many
years TO come, it Is estimated that the
British mines will not be exhausted in
less than 600 to 500 years. 1t Is further
calculated that, drawing upon only one
OF her fields, the Westphalian, Germany
will not he able to exhaust her coal supply
In less than 600 years, and she has, in
addition, the riches Of the Bavarian the
Aachen and the Silesian coal districts. Ii
Is claimed, therefore, that, Independent
OF the resources Of other countries, Great
Britain and Germany could supply Europe
with coal for an unlimited perod.-New

ALBERT EDWARDS BOOslSHIESS
Unhvonbly Commented on By the English
Public.
fHg VAR CLOUD SHOWS Up AGAIN.


LONDON, February 1l.-Editor 7. p.
O'Connor, n. p, is getting soundly scolded
for informing the public iu his paper that
the Prince Of Wales Chartered like mag
pie at Mrs. Bernard Beeres' theatre, and
was hissed by the audience. 1t Is claimed
thst the Prince intended nothing disre-
spectful to the actress, for whom he has a
very friendly feeling.
The only other paper which mentions
the circumstance is the Pail Nah Gd.dte,
which says: The reception accorded to tho
play, though not quite favorable, was 10
the main satisfactory, and the audience,
with one notable exception in the case Of
distinguished visitor IN box, listened at
tentively throughout to the somewhat long
and wearying performance"
DIR. Seaman, Of New York, Was among
the audience on the occasion, and stated
today that he cordially joined In the
Kissing Another gentleman present, an
Enylishman, said that one Of the most
dramatic situations in the play was spoiled
by the rudeness Of the prince.
Although the London journals havs hun
dreds of times closed their columns to even
the most vague references to the escspsdes
of the Prince Of Wales, while indignantly
inveighing against lighter offrnses COM
mi,,ed by less prctentiaus persons, there is
a strong current Of public feeling against
their course in the matter Of his Royal
Hishness' exhibition Of rudeness st the
Theatre Comique. Not one OF them can
make the excuse that the affair was not
reported to its office, for all London knew
of il in detail before the audience OF the
Opera Comique had dispersed on We'd.
nesday night.

PLUCKY MRS. AMMON.

A Charge in judges Is a Relief to Her
Fears.
CLEVELAND, o, February ll.-Probate
Judge Tilden, who has been in Office for
over thirty years, has stepped down and
out, and his successor duly installed.
This change of Judges is Of special import
ance to Mrs Josephine Ammon, who has
been prisoner in the county Jail for over
month. Mrs. Ammon is a wealthy lady
living on Euclid avenue, and because she
would not disclose the whereabouts OF
young girl named Josie Blann, who is heir
to part of an estate worth about 500, 600,
she was placed in Jail.
Mrs. Ammon is not related to the girl,
but takes a charitable interest In her, and
is bound to see that she has fair play. Mrs.
Ammon refused 10 tell where she was and
consequently was placed in Jail until snch
time as she made up her mind to reveal
her secret. Mrs. Ammon claimed that
Judge Tilden was prejudiced against the
girl, and said she would remain in jail nm
til his term expired.

says to-day: A considerable improvement
in tone, as compared with month ago,
appears in the principal wool markets.
The manufacturers are taking orders offair
number and size for heavyweight goods,
and their requirements for stock are oonst-
quently greater than they were in Deem
Der and January. Trade, Is between deal
ers, is unimportant. Prices, save in one or
two inqtsnces, show no quotable advance.
A Ssn Francisco circular snnounces the

CONVICTED.
SUHNERYILEg'S BOaGIA GUlLTE
Mrs. Robinson Pronounced the hurdsress Of
Her Nephew.
BREAKS DOWN UNDER The VERDICT.
The Motive of the WOman's Unnatural
Crimes.

BosTON, February 1.-The jury IN the
case of Mrs. Sarah J. Robinson, the alleged
wholesale poisoner, this morning rendered
a verdict Of guilty of murder in the first
degreer
In this trial she was charged with the
murder of Prince Arthur Freeman, her
nephew. Mrs. Robinson had previously
been tried on the charge of killing her
son and daughter, but the jury disagreed.
The incentive to all the crimes Of which
she is charged was alleged TO be the se-
caring OF the life ihsurance- OF her VIC
tins
Nota muscle of the prisoners face moved
as she heard the words uttered. She stood
staring vacantly at the Coprt for few mo
ments. and then reaumed her seat. The
foreman was yisibly affected as he an
nOunced the verdict.
Counsel Goodrich walked over TO the
dock and whispered to Mis-. Robinson.
She seemed to be unconscious that he was
talking to her and sat as though she were
dazed. Then followed a consultation be-
tween the judges and the counsel, and
Goodrich announced that he should take
exceptions to the verdict on the ground that
tie evidence relating to the cause OF the
death of Mrs. Freeman, which had been
introduced had no bearing on the case.
Judge Field announced that counsel for
the defense could have until the 25th OF
February TO file their exemptions and the
case will probably be argued before the
foil bench in Boston at the March term.
Meanwhile the prisoner seemed TO be in
a state of utter collapse. The matron OF
the Jail tried to comfort her. 1t was then
that the prisoner breke down completely.
She moaned in terrible manner and the
three women who stood near her were
moved to tears. 1t is understood that the
jurymen arrived at the decision at 6:l5
O'Clock, fourteen hours and twenty min
ute3 after they had retired.

Ofthe A. A. I. q 8. W., Expected Here To-
Day-The Trouble at Ironton.
Secretary William Martin, Of the Anal
gamrted Association Of Iron and Steel
Workers, is expected to arrive in the city
to-day to hold a conference with the Anal
gamated Association officers here concern
ing some differences regarding the steel
scale at the Wheeling plant.
Concerning the differences at the Kelly
mill, Ironton, the IroRtonidn says "Wm.
weihe, of Pittsburg, President Of the A. A.
of /. & 8. W., arrived here last Monday
evening, and left Wednesday night. His
visit here related 10 the differences be-
tween the management and employees at
the Kelly nail and iron works. 1t was re.
ported that the heaters and rollers struck
a few weeks ago, because the company re-
fused to employ those nailers
who had recently organized and
joined the Amalgamsted Association
1t is now given out that the nailers have
Withdrawn from the Association and sur
rendered their charter, with the consent,
if not on the advice Of Mr.. Weihe. The
boilers, it is further reported, could not
aid the newly organized nailers without
viol .tiDg a provision OF their agreement
with the company, signed last year, and
this, il is said. is something the Amalga-
mated Association never does or permits
to be done.
20 "The mill will resume operations next
week, il is said, with a new, or partly
new, force at the heating furnaces and
plate mill, 1t is not expected that all the
machines in the factory will be put in
operation, as the only object Of the com
pany, under the existing conditions Of the
market, appears to be to supply their reg
ular customers and thus hold on to theil
trade"
Last evenings Steubenville Herald said
"a conference is being held this after
noon in the Office of the Spsulding Iror
Works at Brilliant, between the officers o
the company and the heaters. Denni
OLeary, Vice President Of this district, i
assisting the men. It is thought that th'
result will be the resumption Of work a
