The jury in the case of Nelse Miller,
coored, who was charged with blowing
up the Hungarian shanty on the noun
tain cut-off with dynamite last October,
came into court on Friday morning with
verdict of murder in the first degree.
The verdict caused stir, as opinion
was divided as to the prisoners guilt OF
innocence, and many thought he woul0
be acquitted. The prisoner accepted
the verdict calmly, and made no move
that might betray his feelings. When
the two colored women, Sarah Miller
and Hester Brace, who are charged
with being accomplices of Miller in the
crime heard the verdict in the Jail they
went into Mysteries.

that his son said at once he thought it
was Il burglar. Judge Woodward said
the boy had probably suffered as much
as IA boy could and discharged him from
custody.

James Fisher and Michael Kearncy, is

A Lehigh Valley engine and ten cars
were derailed and thrown into the Lee

day by striking tree, which had been
blown across the tracks by the wind.
The engine was pulling the local freight
between Packerton and the Coxton yard
at Pittston. The train was running at
its usual rate of speed, and when it
reached this point the engineer was hor-
rified to see Il huge tree topple from the
mountain side and fall across the track

200 feet away. He Immediately sound

power to stop the train he also jumped
just as it was about to strike the tree.
In the meantime the crew, seeing the
danger, had jumped, and when the en-
gine struck the tree there was no one
aboard the train. The engine and ten
cars were thrown from the track and
toppled into the Lehigh river.

Fire broke out in the Gaylord shaft of
the Kingston Coal Company, at Ply
mouth, late Friday afternoon. A shift
of six men had been lowered by rope
about 100 feet down the shaft and were
crbbing when the lamp of one of them
touched an oil soaked timber and the
flame, famed by the heavy draft of the
fan, spread rapidly. The men tried to
to put it out, but could not, and then,
realizing that the flames were between
them and the mouth of the shaft, gave
the order to hoist, and one by one were
drawn out in loop of the rope. The
last two men were slightly burned. A
general alarm was given and all the fire
companies in the town responded and
have since been working, but the fire is
gainining headway. The shaft has not
been used since the disaster of two years
ago, when thirteen men were killed.

Residents of Plymouth are excited
over the singular death of William S. p.
Morgan. The report was that he died
of typhoid fever, but only short time
after he breathed his last, stories of a
mysterious death became current and
rapidly circulated over the town, but
no examination into the circumstances
of Morgan's death was made until the
widow applied to DR.. Whitney for a
certificate Of death. This he refused to
grant, and the board of health refused a
burial permit. The coronerwas notified
and jury empaneled and Drs. Whitney
and Carroll were ordered to make post
mortem examination. Parts of the
stomach and liver were removed and
have been sent to an expert chemist for
examination. In view of the fact that
the inquest is not to be held until today.

The coal situation is rapidly working
out its own salvation, and what the coal
presidents failed to accomplish after
numerous conferences and fierce and
disastrous cutting of prices is being
brought about by the increased demand
for coal through the great revival in
business and manufacturing circles, the
return of cooler weather, and the inforc-
cd restriction in production caused by
the prolonged drought. Following the
advance in tide-water prices made on
Monday last by some of the larger an
thracite companies, another advance
was made on Friday by the Reading,
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Hudson,
Jersey Central, Lehigh Valley, Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western and
other companies.
The new prices went into effect Il,
once, but from present indications are
but temporary, and may be still further
advanced this week.
The advance is an increase of from II
to 25 cents per ton over the prices of
Monday last, and from % to 80 cents
over the prices in vogue prior to that
time. In addition to the increased tide
water prices, the Reading also ordered
an increase in its line and Philadelphia
prices from Is to 40 cents per ton, which
will go into effect tomorrow. The trade
is in better condition now than for
wear mast

The Value of Advertising.

From the Press and Printer.
There are men in every town who dc
not advertise. You may not know them.
Very few do. They call themselves
business men, but they are not. Every.
body who is in business is not business
man by any means. You find the man
who does not advertise in the dark side
streets with dingy surroundings and a
general air of dilapidation hanging
about him. He is not really in business.
He is only hanging to the ragged edge
of the business world. Retail merchants
frequently get the idea into their heads
that because they sell things that the
public must have and sell on a low mar
gin, advertising would not help them
any. There never was IA more erroneous
notion. Judicous advertising will in
crease any legitimate business and the
grocer, the dry goods merchant, anyone
who does not use his local paper ana il
other ways keep himself before tn,
public, is neglecting one of the most
powerful aids he can find in his efforts
to attain success.

For great many years doctors pro-

failing to cure with local treatment, pro-

ONE KIND OF SAVING.

A thrifty woman had Joined one of
those cooperative saving societies,
whose earthly function is to protect its
patrons against extortionate prices by
securing to them reduction of ten per
cent. at the stores belonging to the
combination, says the Detroit Free
Press. She was enthusiastic over the
opportunities for economy the scheme
presented and her husband was rather
disposed to be skeptical on the subject.
At the close of the first week she had

twenty-five dollars, or over four dollars
day." and she was more enthusiastic
than ever.

two hundred and twenty-five dollars to

CAMEuS OF MONGOLIA.

Thousands Wend Their Way Over the
Rough Trails of the Tartar Steppes.
The popular idea regarding 1.-The
ship of the desert" is completely ut
fault if applied to the camels Of Mon
golia and Pcchili. according to the Cen.
fury. Juvenile natural histories talk of
the soft padded foot for which the an
imal is SD distinguished, as If sandy
bottom" were the only surface upon
which he could walk with comfort. But
the greater part of al mercantile
transport in North China is performed
by camels, and, except in the immediate
known luxury to this much-enduring
beast.
How vast is the number of camels
thus employed may be guessed from the
fact that during one days journey we
passed more than eight hundred wend-
ing their dilatory way from the Tartar
steppes to the plains Of Chilli. They
chiefly carried soda-soap, a kind of an
mal alkali or I've found on the borders
of Mongolia, and cut into blocks, each
weighing about two hundred and sixty
pounds.
At no time is the camel progressing
object. But here nature provides him
with so shaggy covering that his un-
calmly form becomes even more hid
eous. Camels wool, by the way, used
for padding clothes, is an article of con-
siderable traffic hereabouts, and when
spring zephyrs take the place Of winter
blasts, the herdsmen OF the plateau
shear their camels by process which
preserves the merit of extreme SIM
plicity, pulling out by hand whatever
has not been shed naturally. Many an
imals are kept for the sole purpose of
yielding wool, but the amount obtain
able from each is singularly dispropor-
toned to the huge bulk of its producer.
A heavy fleece taken from full-grown
camel will seldom average over seven
pounds, while eight dollars is a high
price for the picul Of one hundred and
thirty'three pounds.

great variety of forms, and during the
fourteenth century they are frequent

sixteenth century the shaft is often
short, and not unfrequently terminated

There are also taller shafts of various
