INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.

The wages Of the mine workers of the
Schuylkill district of the anthracite coal
region, for the, last half of January and
the first half of February, will be II per
cent. below the $3.50 basis. This is
per cent. lower than the previous month.
The Lehigh Valley railroad men re-
ceived good news Thursday when it was
announced that the pay of passenger en-.
gineers and firemen running between
Easton and Wilkes-Bar had been raised,
the former from 50 to $3.50, and the latter
from "a to 81. 50 per trip.
According to the Stakeholder, the an
thracite producing companies have made
another failure in their effort to restrict
the output to a limited amount. At the
meeting Of the sales agents in December
they agreed that the output for January
should not be more than 100000 tons.
These figures have been already largely
exceeded, shipments for the first twenty
six days of the month having aggregated
2, 90, ,56t tons, or an average of 9,02l tons
per day, equal to an output for the month
of 1901 SOL tons. In the early part OF the
month It appeared as though the output
agreed upon would not he exceeded, but
in the second week the percentage was
largely increased, and since then 1t has
grown steadily. Shipments for the week
ended Jan. 26 were 6S6,59 tons, an increase
compared with the same week of 1894 of
l58, SIS tons. Prior to this week there had
been a decrease compared with last year,
but last weeks increase resulted I'm max
Ing an increase for the year to the date
named OF l44,93l tons, totals being 2,522,5Gi
tons for twenty-six days last month,
against 2,377,s ,s33 tons for the correspond
ing period In 1894.
Coal percentages of the anthracite COM
panies In 1894 have been obtained and pub
lished by the Wall Street Journal. The
tonnage OF the several companies for
three Yenrs past Is as folloMs.

STOCKS AND BOMBS.

New York, Feb. 4.-The tendency of
prices at the Stock exchange during the
early trading was downward, operators
having been disappointed at the delay in
the bond ISSUE The defeat of the Reilly
bill in the house on Saturday led to SELL
ing for both home and foreign account
and as a result prices fell 4 to per cent.
In the first hour. After that the market
gradually gathered strength and prices
moved up everywhere from 1a to 2h per
cent. The improvement was due to a. re-
duction in exchange to A.S7ia and $i.s9.
The return of $550,000 gold to the sub
treasury and to an unconfirmed rumor
that the call for the bond issue will be
given out tomorrow. In regard to the
bond matter II is stated on good author
ity that the call will not be made public
until Wednesday and that the issue will
be SlOO,0O0,0OO OF this amount $75. 900. 900
IL to be placed in London, Paris and Hol-
land, and S25, 900, 900 at home. The leading
banks of this city have arranged to assist
the syndicate in making the loan u sue
cess and will temporarily advance all the
gold necessary. The stock market closed
very firm at or near the top figures Of the
day. London sold early in the day and
then turned buyer. Its favorite appeared
to be Louisville and Nashville and this
was considered significant in view Of the
position occupied by Chairman Belmont
in the government bond negotiation. Net
changes show advances of a to 1s per
cent, Sugar leading and Rock Island Il.

WARNING UNHEEDED.

Frivolous Citizens of Kittanning Disrc.
gard the Predictions Of Arthur Kirk.
BY the United Press.
Kittanning. Pa, Feb. Arthur Kirk
of Pittsburg, who superintended the
dynamiting Of the ice gorge for the
Ford City company, believes Kittan-
ming will be swept away by the expect
ed flood. He was here Sunday evening
soliciting subscriptions to continue tun-
mel cutting to save this town.
Citizens refused contributions. Mr..
Kirk was disappointed, and says Kit
tanning deserves its impending doom.
Explosions of dynamite on the gorge
shattered windows and shook so many
houses at Rapton and Manorville that
the Plate company may be sued for
damages. Blasts two miles away
shook houses here yesterday.

A WOULD-BE ASSASSIN.
An Attempt at Murder Last Sunday
Night.

An Attempt at MufQef Last sunday
Night.
Hon. J. A. Marshall is glad he was
not in his overcoat about half past nine
O'Clock On Sunday night. for he would
have been unpleasantly near assassna-
ton. At that particular hour the coat
was worn by an employe, of Mr.. Mar
shall, VIM. Morse.
Mr.. Morse was walking along West
Washington street. Near the south
west corner of Third avenue he was
suddenly confronted by stranger with
arm appraised and he saw the CLEAN of a
knife. Men in danger see things
quickly, so Mr.. Morse noticed that the
stranger was poorly dressed, that his
coat was of brown ducking, that the
elbow of the appraised arm was out and
that the cloth around it was frayed.
That's about all Mr.. Morse had time
to see for the knife descended on his
breast with so great force that it cut
through his heavy overcoat, the under
coat, vest. shirt and under clothing and
slashed the skin directly over the heart.
Morse jumped back out of reach of
a second stroke and put his hand on his
hip pocket. The man with the knife
stood for moment looking at him and
then turned and walked away into the
heavy shade OF the pepper trees which
line the street.
The knife was a doubled edged
weapon as the cut in the coat is smooth
above and below. The blow must have
been delivered with great force and Mr..
Morse owes his life to the circumstance
that it was directed downward at so
sharp an angle.

The LOST FRENCHMAN.
The Famous Old Mine at Last
Discovered.
A Search of Nearly a Quarter of 9
Century is Richly
Rewarded.

The Lost Frenchman's mine for which
five men have died. about which hun.
dreds have lied and for which a desul.
tory search has been going on for a
quarter OF century, has been dis.
covered.
The excitement is said to be intense
in the Harqua Halas and miners and
prospectors are moving in procession
to the wonderful find whose richness is
said to be far beyond that of the Bo.
nanza in its palmiest days and no day
of that famous mine is PALMER than the
present.
Gus Hirschfeld received on Sunday a
letter from j E. Teeter at Harqua Hala
saying that the Lost Frenchman had
been discovered thirty miles south OF
the Bonanza. There had been found
two sacks of ore worth 500 and
enough rich ore on the dump to keep a
mill running two or three years. He
was getting ready to leave for the great
find as was pretty near everybody else
in theyicinity and the trail was black
with prospectors with every means of
locomotion.
Frank Luke, who has been making a
study of the Lost Frenchman for wears,
had so much faith in the discovery that
he left on Sunday night for Aztec, the
nearest railroad point to the great
mine.
OF all the famous lost mines on the
on the coast none have been more
sought after. None have been believed
to be richer and certainly none were
less mythical, for among the old pros
pectors there was absolutely no dou BIT
of its existence.
Twenty-Five years ago three French
men whose names nobody remem bers
if nybody ever knew, set out from
Yuma in a northeasterly direction. In
a few months they returned laden with
virgin gold which aroused the usual
degree of excitement produced in
frontier town by such ar event. When
the Frenchmen left town the usual eff
fort was made to follow them, but as
usual the followers were eluded.
Again the Frenchmen returned laden
as before with golden treasure and
when they went away the pursuit was
renewed with the former result. For
the third time the Frenchmen visited
Yuma weighted down with gold and
got away again unobserved in spite of
the hungry vigilance of hundred gold
seekers.
The Frencnmen were never again
seen at Yuma. When the months had
been rolled into year there was no
doubt that they had been murdered by
the Indians and the whole country was
overrun in search for their skeletons,
for it seemed likely that the marvellous
mine could not be far from their bones.
Nothing was ever found, and ten years
ago the active search for the lost French
man was abandoned.
One of the most earnest Investigators
of this golden secret was old Bill Kirk
land. after whom Kirkland valley was
named. He infested the old Indians
who hung about Palomas and Yuma.
but the only thing he ever learned
threw no light on the location of the
