ANSWER FILED FOR CHOCTAw.
That Company Claims Damages Because OF
Jmnroper Rails.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-The Choctaw
Coal and Railway company filed its de-
Tense yesterday in the common pleas
court to the suit recently instituted by
the Allegheny BeSsemer Steel company
for the recovery of $4,000 damages for
an alleged breach of contract. In
their defense the company claims that
instead of the plaintiffs having been
damaged to the extent claimed, they,
the defendants, were damaged to the
extent of $4,000. They admit the con-
tract for 14.000 tons of steel rails, but
claim that these rails when delivered
were not in accordance with the specl-
fication and contract, being entirely too
light for the work required of them.
BY reason of the inability of the plain
tiffs to furnish the proper rails, the com
pany was delayed in completing certain
portions of the road, during which time
they We're compelled 10 retain their
workmen at a cost Of 100000 An i'm
portant mail contract was lost by rea-
son of this delay, and the company was
also unable to market certain securities
and il was therefore forced into areceiv
ership Notice is given in the answer
that damages TO the amount of 100000
against the plaintiffs will be claimed at
the trial of the case.

Chicago. March The bulls took profits
today and as a result the wheat market
was easier. May closing = cent lower.
May corn closed g cent lower. May oats
= cent lower and provisions az slight
declines.
The weather was not so cold in the west
as 10 justify the signal service cold wave
predictions OF the cay before That,
ia conjunction with the excellent report
on the condition OF the wheat plant III
Kansas. Missouri, Indiana and Illinois,
along with the fact that the long
headed OF the bull spectators had IN
loaded again on the shorts during yester-
days advance gave the market weak
opening. May. which closed yesterday
at 5iss cents, opened with sellers at from
5iss to al. cents, with an immediate
further shade OF reduction. That ex-
treme weakness wore off in a short time,
but was again followed by declining
tendency until after the receipt of the Of
fetal cablegram giving the quotations
for the continental markets. Berlin and
Antwerp Were each quoted higher. and
Paris from 3 cent per bushei advance
for March wheat 10 27s cents higher Tor
May-August term. The quotations from
Paris to the New DIRK produce exchage
showed greater advance in wheat than
the official figures received here as trans
lated above The Paris cableSram to
New oYrk gave the advance in March
wheat as 80 centimes, and 5centimes
respectively for March and Nay-August
which are respectively equivalent 10 2i2I
3is cents per bushel. Those gains at the
continental markets caused a recovery
here to SIS cents. which was the trading
point ct the close.
Business in corn was small and or an
uninteresting local character The ten
dency of the fluctuations was 10 follow
those OF wheat. with the tendency OF
corn rather more in favor or decline
The opening price Tor May was as cents
and il declined during the day TO HIS cents,
with 40 cents the closing price.
Oats were very duh. The tone or the
market was easier with corn, prices being
a shade lower during the entire ses-
sion May sold between 81. cents and -
cents, closing at 29isG29l4 cents.
Very little change can be noted in pro
visions, but such as there is. is In the
direction of lower prices The follow

This morning a new feature showed
UP in the house on the question. Mr.

new danger awaits the omnibus blu

ernor Renfrow has more backbone than
the combine calculated on. He is paid
his salary by the federal government
and the legislature cannot touch him.
He states he cannot be forced into sign
ing the bin by attaching ii to the APP

sires the territory to be without an au-
ditor, treasurer and attorney general,
or other departments that are paid By

tween the two Payne county members

that il is not generally understood that

COAL IN THREE FOOT VEINS.
Very Rich Discovery Is Made by Prospec-

Oklahoma City, o. T.. March 2.-(Spe-
cial.)-Perry Rodkey has been pros
pecting in the eastern Indian country
for the last two or three years and has
hunted all over the country in search
of mineral. He is probably better &C
quainted with that country than any
other man in the territory. He return
ed from the last of his visits few days
ago and brought with him some sam
pies of coal taken from vein close TO
the town OF Keokuk Falls The sam
pies are the finest that have yet been
found in the territory. The Lodges
from which the coal is taken is three
foot vein and a four foot vein separ-
ated by a one foot vein OF slate II
coal in any quantity can be found in
that country boom in real estate viii
be probable There is doubt, so Mr..
Rodney states. that coal may be found
in that country in large quantities.
