The Coke Trade Remains in About the

ESPECIAL TELEaRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
CoNNELLsvILLE, May 3.-The Courier,
in its coke review, says:
The coke trade continues its gallant effort to
brace up. Production little better than holds
its own, but shipments have fallen OF trife.
There is tendency among small operators to
drop out and allow the larger operators to
supply the market during the present era of low
prices. The two largest firms in the region,
the H. c. Frick and Mcclure coke companies,
ran full time last week. Others were not so
fortunate, one firm, Raimey & Co., getting in
but three days. The iron trade gives no indi-
cations OF . boom; neither does it show any
signs Of collapse. So long as it grows no
worse, the coke trade of Connellsvflle will
continue to retain its present characteristics,
namely, fair demand at poor prices. The iron

ONE USE FOR OHIO OIL.
An Alleged Discovery Of Fuel Gas That
VIII Lead Them All.

An Alleged discovery OF Fuel Gas Tnnt
VIII Lead Them All.
rsPEcIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsP ATcH.i
FINDLAY, May 3.-For six months past
V. II. Coons and Charles f. Graves, of this
city, have been working on a process for
converting Ohio crude oil into fuel gas, and
they now claim to have succeeded and OBJ
tanned perfect success with their process.
They obtained their patent yesterday and
believe they have fortune in it. They
claim that from one barrel of crude oil they
can produce 100000 cubic feet of gas,
equal to the supply consumed by so stoves
in 30 days, so that at the present price of
Ohio crude petroleum and price obtained
for gas they would make $50 on every on bar
rel of oil. The gas produced by their pro-
cess is pronounced equal in heating power
to natural gas, and far superior to it as an
illuminant. Although it has the same
pungent odor peculiar to Ohio natural gas,
it is claimed to be absolutely non-explosive.
A room may be filled with the vapor and a
match lighted in it without producing any
explosion. It will burn in any stove the
same as natural gas.
Under this process the gas may be manu-
factured on large scale and supplied for
heat and light throughout city the same
as manufactured gas has heretofore been
furnished, or it may be made on a small
scale for buildings. It opens up vast
possibility in the use Of Ohio oil, and will
enable almost any city or town, no matter
where situated, to have the advantages of
gas for fuel at a merely nominal cost. Both
Mr.. Coons and Mr.. Graves are practical
men, and as they are backed by an abund-
ance Of capital, they will proceed at once to
introduce the gas into towns where they can
obtain franchises as fast as possible.

"I was continually hawking and splitting,
especially the first three or four hours after
getting up in the morning. Physicians told
me my trouble was catarrh. My nose and
throat got so bad, and the disease was 80
disagreeable, that tried in every way to
get rid of it. but got only slight temporary
relief
''I noticed that had q heavy, racking
cough, which kept gradually getting worse.
It became hollow, and would be especially
bad in the morning. Any change in the
weather would cause my head and throat to
stuff up and my cough to ahnoy me more.
At night had smothering spells, and
would have to sit up in chair for hours in
order to get my breath. There was feeling
as though something was bound so tightly
around my chest that could not breathe.
I was afraid had asthma.

ner. My cough became hollow and more
persistent, and could not walk even q
short distance without getting out Of breath.
my friends have since told me that they
thought had consumption, and that they
never expected ME to recover.

ment Of an acquaintance in the papers, de-
cided to place myself under the care Of Dr.

the result was surprise to myself and my

"What's S Wana-
makers Price?''

If it's a quality worth sell
ing it will be the lowest-rely
on that.
Very likely it seems odd to
many that we don't advertise
prices. When we can hang
the quality up in the newspa-
pers with the price, so that
you can make a fair compari-
son, we will.
We've got past the appren-
ticeship stage Of being mer-
chants long ago. Dark meth
DDS in business will not pay.
It's the people who do the
buying. They'll not accept
keenness or cuteness for solid
value.
We propose to gain conf
dence by the superiority of
our goods. Though we had
the opportunity to sell an in
ferior article at half the price
of any store in the city, we
wouldn't keep it.
1t must be dependable or
Wanamaker & Brown haven't
room for it in their store. We
don't want you saying about

ANARCHISTS GROWING BoLDER.
They Are Preparing to Celebrate the Anni'
versary of the Hay Market

They Are Preparing to Celebrate the Ami.
versary of the Hay Market
CHICAGO, May 3.-To-morrow will be the
third anniversary of the Hay Market riot,
and that the anarchists OF the city propose
to give the day observance is evidenced by
a printed address or circular which has been
issued from some secret establishment. Chief
of Police Hubbard found copy of it in his
mail to-day, and another was found lying
upon the pedestal of the Hay Market police
monument, which is to be dedicated on the
SOth inst, The circular is of an infamma-
tory character, in that it lauds the virtues
of the condemned and executed Anarchists,
and denounces all the officers of the law who
had anything to do with securing their con-
viction.
1t, however, does not counsel resort to
force or the doing of any overt act. 1t
speaks of meetings to be held on the ami
versary of the riot The supposition has
been that the Anarchists would make some
demonstration on the day of the unwilling
of the monument. Chief Hubbard was in
terviewed concerning the circular this after
noon. He says he scarcely thinks it posi-
BILE that the Anarchists will attempt an
armed outbreak upon the day the statue is
unveiled. He says every precaution will
be taken to secure the safety OF life and
property upon the day.

A Careless Method of Bookkeeping
 Leads to Trouble.
 The case for embezzlement brought by David B. Hotchkiss of Prospect against Chauncey H. Ford of this city was tried before Judge Bradstreet this morn ing and the prisoner found not guilty. Ford peddled milk for Hotchkiss from September F until last Saturday night. During that time he handled 1S.O00 quarts of the lacteal fluid andpaid over to his employer only S65O. It was evident that the system of bookkeeping between the two wasnot accurate and undoubtedly led to the trouble. Ford collected the bills. paid for repairs, barn rent, freight etc.. and after deducting his own wages turned over the balance to his employer. Judge Bradstreet dismissed the case without hearing the testimony of the accused. Hotchkiss may bring a civil suit for damages.
