West Virginia Coal Cutting Into Penn
sylvnnia's Trade.

sing effect upon the coal trade oil
the Pittsburg region, if we are to
Judge by the complaints of opera
tors. A Pittsburgh coal mine owner
in an interview published in the
Dispatch, Of that city, last week,
said:
The West Virginia operators are
playing the deuce with Pittsburgh
operators who ship to Lake Eric,
and the only thing that will prevent
disaster will be reduction in
freight of 20 cents a ton by the
Pennsylvania company. Freight
charges must come down from 80
to 40 cents, or Pittsburg operators
must give up the lake trade.
In the first place, Pittsburg coal
costs the owners from 500 to $500
an acre, while West Virginia coal
costs $50 an acre. Secondly, Pitts
burg operators must pay as cents a
ton for mining while West Virginia
operators pays 30 cents a ton, and
at that price their miners can make
as much money as Pittsburg miners.
Thirdly, Pittsburg coal veins arc
but four feet thick while these West
Virginia veins are seven to ten feet
thick. Fourthly, it costs as much
in the way of machinery 10 4 foot
vein as it does 10 foot vein, and
entry way cost as much in develop
ing 4-foot vein as in 10 foot vein.
1t requires as much work ON the
part of a miner to cut under 4-foot
weir preparatory to dropping his coal
as to do the same thing under 10
foot vein. A foot vein yields A.
900 tons to the acre, while these
West Virginia mines yielded from u
900 to 10000 tons. Finally, when
the mines are worked out, your
tipples and other machinery neces-
sary to abandon has put out double
the amount of coal in West Virginia
as in Pittsburg territory. Pitts
burg coal costs the operator in some
cases 10 cents a ton, while the West
Virginia operator at $50 an acre
gets it for a quarter of a cent ton.
Now, all these things taken to-
gether enable the West Virginia
operator to lay down coal in Cleve-
land at SLIT per ton, coal over a
q inch screen, and, taking freight
into consideration, he can compete
to an extent that leaves but S71
cents net for Pittsburg coal over a
II screen. As mining costs 80
cents and the coal 10 cents, you see
there is loss of II cents per ton in
competition with these West Yir-
ginia people.

DIVORCES IN CONNECTICUT.
NJ ore than 20, 900 Persons Divorced In tho
State Since 1890.


state Since 1890.
HARTFORD June 11.-Connecticut hos been
scanning her record OF divorces in 1891 which
is embodied In tho annual report Of the State
Board OF Health. and Is not particularly
pleased with 1t. 1t shows that the record lie
growing. although the number OF divorce Pc
titions granted last year was not quite so large
as In 1880. whom tho high-water mark was
reached. In 1891 400 couples were divorced.
and 500 In the previous year The report
shows also that since 1850 over &c. 600 persons
have been divorced in this State. or tho 13. 1877
petitions granted In that period 3.525 were
decreed in New Haven county. 25TU in Hart
ford county. and 1850 in Fairfield county.
The Health Board report gives some inter-
esting facts in the history Of divorce In this
State. From 1877 till 1S43 the law was very
stringent one. The first divorce law was en-
acted in 1877. and provided that tho marriage
bond might lie dissolved only on the grounds
Of adultery, fraudulent contract. and deser-
and habitual intemperanco and intolerable
cruelty were conceded to be sufficient causes
a"or eusy ths nS vide the
law having been amended to read that mis-
conduct SUCH as permanently, destroys tho
purposes OF the marriage relate on shall be
admitted as ground for annulling the mar
Tho wal. period was, particularly fruitful in
divorce petitions. and l.!'63 were granted from
1850 to 1875; New Haven, as usual. led the
ford was next with :}97. and then Fairfield
with Dap. In the past decade New Haven
county still maintained its lead. with, over
peal of tho so-called Omnibus" clause Of
the law in 1871. would greatly reduce tho
States output Of divorces and it seemed to do
So when tho number of DEGREES dropped to
3l6 in 1870. but in 1888 the divorce business
was more brisk thnn ever before
Another interesting feature OF the Boards
report is tho statement that nj least two thirds
Of the petit ioncrs for divorce are women. The
first and latest divorces ordered by the Con-
nccticut Legislature were COR parties in STRAIT
ford. BY authority of the General Court in
May. 1850 the magistrates of that village di-
yorced Goody Beckwith from her husband ON
the ground Of desertion.
