THE sum total of the output of coal
of all kinds in the United States last
year, was, in round numbers, some $780,
100000 tons, or double the stated out

in so short time is remarkable.

Columbus Dissatisfied.

COLUMBUS. November r.-There is much
dissatisfaction here over the insane folly of the
American Association in failing to keep Brook
lyn and Cincinnati in its circuit, and the Colum-
bus members of the combine" are condemned
right and left for allowing Won der Abe to rule
them. Unless the management of the Colum-
bus club can make it appear to the satifaction
of the patrons of this city that they did all that
was possible toward fostering good strong clubs
and holding the better cities for the good Of
the Association, they will not receive the en-
couragement which was given them by an ex-
tended patronage last season. The patrons say
here that club from Syracuse or Detroit can
not hold the interest and draw the people
which would be assured by Brooklyn Cincin-
natl or Kansas City. Those interested are
especially sore over the defeat OF Wikof for
his old position as his standing in this city and
wherever he is known inspired a confidence in
the sport by the public generally.

BERGEN NOT SIGNED.
The WeII-KnOwn Jockey May Stay With
Captain Brown.

Captain Brown.
From all we can glean however. there is no
truth in the report that Bergen is vet under
contract with the Dwyers. We believe they
have made some overtures in the matter, but
will not engage him unless Captain Brown, to
whom be was engaged for the past season, sig
mites his intention to no longer retain Bergen,s
services. The Dryers have always stood upon
racing etiquette in such matters never seeking
to entlce other peoples employees. 1t has been
their policy to make their men. They made
the regulations of Rowe and McCabe as
trainers and of Mclaughlin as a Jockey from
the chances they offered them, taking them up
when they were at the bottom of the ladder
and man in their employ always has his posi-
tion secure as long as he desires to remain, pro-
vided he does his duty. That they like Bergen
they do not deny, and if Captain Brown does
not reserve" him it is very likely Bergen will
wear the red and blue; but there is no existing
engagement.
1n-regard TO young Day, it is said he will ride
next year for Hon. W. L. Scott. Day rode
great deal for Mr.. Scott last season, among
others, Chaos in the Futurity. He eshowed con-
siderable ability as horseman, his nerve be-
ing simply wonderful. Indeed, the only draw
back to. Day was, that his nerve approached
daring, if not positive, recklessness. When he
EOde Chaos at Monmouth last season he rode
in such a fashion as was positively dangerous
to all others. and Mr.. Withers set him down or
rather, suspended him for the year for will
fully careless riding" but be was reinstated on
his promise to do better Many have thought
his nearly fatal fall at Jerome Park was
caused by his own recklessness. However
that may be, it is certain that preach against
it as they will, owners have a wonderful fond
ness for Jockey who has so little fear that he
lands their horse in front. Hence Dav will be
in great demand. especially in big fields where
some jockeys are very timorous and where
daring is often the main element of success

LoNDoN, November 1.-THE prediction
made week ago that the bakers, under the
potent leadership of John Burns, would
obtain the concessions which they demanded
from their employers, has been fulfilled and
thousands of iourneymen bakers are con-
graduating themselves upon marked i'm
provement in their condition. The boss
bakers are trying to shift the cost of the con-
cessions upon the general public by raising
the price of bread a hslfpenny per loaf
The consumers vigorously object to
paying more than the accustomed
price, and it is claimed by
large buyers, who have looked into the
matter, that half-penny actually covers the
entire cost of making loaf of bread and is.
therefore, much more than would suffice to
recoup the boss baker for the additional ex-
pense to which he is subjected by reason of
the increased wages of the employees. 1t is
probable that the opposition of the public
and the natural effect of competition will
soon bring about reduction in the price Of
the staff of life to the old figures.
THE STRIKE MANIA SPREADING.
The strike mania continues to spread. and
one of its most conspicuous manifestations
is in the stoppage of several omnibus lines
BY reason of conflict with the employees.
Private owners OF cabs and other vehicles
are meanwhile reaping harvest by carry
ing the former patrons of the suspended
lines. The fares charged by these tempora-
ry omnibuses are sometimes exorbitant. and
in consequence there is much grumbling.
The extent to which the relations between
monopoly and labor are being studied in
England can hardly be realized by Ameri-
cans, who seem to have adopted the 'Let
alone" theory as the final word in social cir
cles. Here nearly everybody recognizes
that to let things alone means social suicide.
Something must be done, and though stu
dents of the question still differ widely as
to the remedy, there is no doubt that a dif-
ference Of opinion is observable in the di-
rection of socialism in some form or other.
ENGLAND'S NEW DOMINION.
English newspapers find in the recent
grant Of royalty charter to the new South
African Company q subject for earnest con-
graduation. The Germans being now at a
discount in Africa, the English promoters
and well-wishers of the new enterprise see
no reason why there may not be in Africa
the establishment of great English empire
like that founded in India by the famous pro-
totype Of this new company. II the enter
prise succeeds, the great sub-tropical region
lying between the Transvaal and the great
lakes will not be Dutch. nor German, nor
Portuguese, but English. British capital
and British colonization will have another
great area Of extension, and one more large
native population will come beneath British
rule. It will be- new East India Company,
exploiting territory not inferior in re-
sources to old India.

HIS FATE Is SEALED.
Tho COIOred Pullman Car Porter Who
Murdered Onicer NlcDevit Arrested

ut Portland-Didn't Know He
Killed Any Person.
PORTLAND, ORE, November 17.-H. E.
Gibbs, the colored Pullman car porter, who
shot and killed the boy, james McDevit,
and very seriously wounded special officer
Thomas McDeVit, on the night of October
II, and who was arrested several days ago
at Yreka, California, arrived here to-day.
Gibbs, in an interview, claims that at the
time of the shooting he thought he was
acting in selE-defense and says he did not
know that McDevit was an officer; that he
did not see the boy at all, but shot at what
he supposed man. He says he did not
know up to the time of his arrest that any
of his shots had proved fatal.
After the shooting he hid about the city
for a week. He then got on board the
southbound train, and by stealing a ride
reached Medford. He then struck across
the Siskiyou mountains, his purpose being
to reach the seacoast and thus make his
escape. Weary and footsore, he finally
gave up the trip coastward and started up
the Klamath river, when he was captured
by Deputy Sheriff Clarkson. Gibbs is
completely broken down in spirits, and
when narrating the incident of the fatal
shooting and his subsequent wanderings
wept like child.
Before being arrested, Gibbs says he in
tended to surrender to the authorities the
first opportunity. Gibbs is already in
dicted for murder in the first degree, and the
trial will probably be called this week. He
cannot possibly hope to escape the gallows.

REGRETS IN TRINITY.
John H. Shoenberger Failed TO Provide for
the Church as He Intended.

the Church as He Intended.
The death of John II. Shoenberger has
given rise to all sorts of rumors about Trim
itv Church, of which he was SO long a
prominent pillar. Mr.. Shoenberger became
a member of the parish when it was very
poor, and he stood by it until it became rich
and the present magnificent church struc-
ture was erected. 1t was largely through
Mr.. Shoenberger's efforts that the church
was built, and not satisfied with paying the
greater portion of its cost, he yearly added
gifts aggregatiug large sum.
When Mr.. Shoenberger moved to New
York his affections still were with the
church, and he frequently expressed himself
as intending to endow it when he died. It
was his intention to found a worshipiug
place in this city like ''old Trinity in New
York. 1t was, therefore, great surprise to
almost everyone when Mr.. Shoenberger was
not reelected delegate to the general con-
vention, a position he had held for over 40
years. Mr.. Shoenberger was humiliated bv
his defeat and did not endow the church as
he had intended.
A number of prominent families have
withdrawn from the parish on account of
dissatisfaction with the rector, Rev. Max
well, but that gentleman says that the trou-
BILE will soon be settled.

AN ENGINEERING FEAT.


The River Pushed Back for Pump FOunda.
tiOn at the Carrie Furnace-Other Com.
panies to Sink Wells.
Mr.. Druxed, mechanical engineer, has
just accomplished neat engineering feat.
The Carrie Furnace, Rankin station, has
been inconvenienced lately by lack of water
Guilty the firm put down foundation for
a pump below the bed of the river. To do
this Mr.. Druxed drove the Monongahela
river back some 15 feet. The method for
pushing the water back was to drive sheet
piling in the river, the piles being driven so
close as to make il water tight. The water
between the pile and the river bank was
pumped dry, and then the foundation was
sunk 10 feet below.
AT the bottom of the foundation great
square blocks of stone are laid as bed for
the pump. The sides are built OF pressed
brick. About 500 feet of 12-inch diameter
pipe will draw the water from the river,
and about 1000 feet will throw it into the
receiver. From the receiver more pipes will
be used to distribute the water throughout
the furnace for its various uses. It is cal
ming order it will lift 4, 100000 gallons each
day. The pump is to be double action.
The cost of the whole work, including the
building of the engine, is estimated at
$4,000.
Singer, Nimick & Co., Miller, Metcalf
and Parkin, and the Bear Creek Oil Re-
fnery are going to adopt at their works, the
same idea for getting water for mill purposes
as is now used at the Lucy furnace. Each
of the firms at an early day intends to sink
water shafts in the river, so that they will
be able to use pure spring water instead of
the muddy river water. Mr.. Alexander
Foster, of Singer. Nimick & Co., said that
the we'll at the Lucy furnace if it is success
full, will be great boon to the manufactur-
ing portion of Pittsburg. He says that the
progress of the well is watched closely by
all the manufacturers. If it acts well for
six months, he said, almost all the mills will
be furnished with similar ones.

He Says the Barb Wire Combination !
Almost Setrled-No Freeze Out BelnI
PIayed-Another Meeting.
George T. Oliver, Of the Oliver & Rob
erts Wire Co., arrived home from New
York yesterday morning. He went Their
several days ago to consult with other wirt
manufacturers in regard to the absorption
of their plants into the Federal Stee
Co. The latter is the combination com
posed of wire manufacturers, which wa
formed in this city several weeks ago. Con
cerning his trip and what has been so fal
accomplished, Mr.. Oliver said:
1.-THE publication of the details of the
combination in The DISPATCH this morn.
ing and what has been printed before, fully
covers the matter. The consultation in
New York had the effect of settling mum.
Der of details. A scheme of this kind is a
gigantic undertaking, and cannot be con.
summated in couple of days. The organi-
zation has not yet been completed. but it is
now in such shape that it is a sure thing.
The matter of the charter has not been
definitely settled upon. Until that is finished
we cannot locate the general Office. The idea
now is to have the charter granted under
the laws of Illinois. If that is done the
head office will be located in Chicago. II
we do not take the Illinois charter we will
apply for one in Pennsylvania or Mime
sofa. The laws of the latter State are pecu-
liarly adapted to combination of fthis kind.
II we get the charter here, the offices will
be located in the Lewis block. We will
have an Office here anyhow, but whether it
will be the general headquarters or not, is
not yet known. We will have branch offices
in New York, Cincinnati, St. Louis, San
Francisco and other large cities.
There will be no freezing out in the COM
bination. This talk about some of the small
wire manufacturers being scared is wrong.
They can come into the Federal Company
and sell their plants for the same proper
tionate price as the large manufac-
turers. The latter are fair minded
men, and want the organization
to treat everybody alike. There is not one
firm in the country that has not been given
a chance to come in on the most liberal
terms. Another meeting will be held
shortly when the matter will be closed up,
and the business will be done in the name
of the Federal Steel CO..
The sale of the Bessemer plant of the
Pittsburg Steel Casting Co. was made to
the Oliver & Roberts Wire Co., and not to
the Oliver Iron & Steel Co. The latter is
an entirely distinct and separate concern
from the wire company. The latter are
now using about 1000 tons of Bessemer
steel, and have experienced considerable
difficulty getting it. With the old Haines.
worth plant they will have a full supply
for their mill, and will be enabled to sell
some of the steel.
