Old English Coal Records.

There is a record, dated S52, of the receipt of 13 carloads of fossil coal at the abbey of Peterborough, and this was assurcdly not tho first case of produc- tiCn and delivery.
 Tho deeds of tho bishopric of Durham contain records of grants of land to col Hers as far back as 11SO, ill various parts of the county. In tho year 1889 a charter was granted by Henry III to the freemcn of Newcastle onTyne to dig coal in the folds belonging to tho cas- tie, and it was ill or about this year that coal was first sent to London. Very early ill the fourteenth century evidence abounds of q large consumption of coal by smiths, brewers and others. Already the smoke nuisance appeared, and a commission of Edward levied fines to prevent it.
 Another charter, or license, was grant cd to the frcCNcn of Newcastle in Ed ward Ills time to work coal within the town walls, and ill tho year 1867 coal began to be worked at WinlatOn, ill the ncighbolhoOd where George Stephenson was to evolve the locomotive 400 years later, while himself worker at the coal pits All tho Near Round.

They Claim the Company Did
Not Live Up to the New
Agreement.
NINE RIOTERS UNDER ARREST.
Another General Tie.Up of the City
Lines Threatened by the
Strikers.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 25.-The
streetcar strike was again on this morning
on the Girard- avenue division of the Union
Traction Company. The strikers of this
division, who, with all the other Union
Traction men, returned to work yesterday
morning pending promised arbitration of
their grievances, protested this morning
that the superintendent of this division
was discriminating against them by Civ
ing employment to the non-unlon men
and leaving those who had been on strike
without assignment to work. They de-
clared that all the earlier cars in starting
on their trips this morning were manned
by non-union men. The feeling among
the ex-strikers grew to such an extent
that they finally drove the non-unicn men
out of the depot and those who had started
out with cars were driven back.
At II 80 o'clock the differences between
the superintendent of the Girard-avenue
division and the ex-strikers were adjusted
and traffic was resumed. The union men
were given their old positions on the regu-
lar schedule cars. and the non-union men
were also provided for, some of them being
placed on regular cars and others on the
"trippers." The union men accepted this
adjustment, pending further arbitration
of their complaint that they are not being
fairly treated in the assignment of work.
The disturbances were as serious as any
that have occurred during the time the
strike was on. Every car manned by a
non union crew was wrecked by the mob,
and the arrival of the police in one in
stance probably saved the lives of the mo-
torman and conductor, who were being
beaten severely by the crowd. The with
drawal of the non-union men from the
cars temporarily put stop to the trouble
to-day, but there is much dissatisfactio
among the men over the settlement OF the
strike, and it is not such a remote con-
tingency that the strike may be declared
on again. During the rioting the police
made nine arrests.
The Girard-avenue division men openly
state that if they are not given their regu-
lar runs tomorrow morning they will tie
up the whole system of the Union Trac-
ton Company again. The officials of the
Amalgamated Association of Street Rail-
way Employees and the more conservative
members of the association are opposed to
renewal OF the strike, and are dom g
everything in their power to persuade the
dissatisfied men to give the company time
to adjust their grievances.

His exclamation is substantial reltera-

sis not intended to be tariff revision, but
simply an exigency bill to raise SAC, 100000
of revenue to meet the deficiency. The
main object is revenue, although inciden-
tally the increases will help American
industries to some extent. The bill is linn
tied to two and a half years, the expecta-
ton being that by that time the Repub-

revise the tariff on their own lines.
