COAL OPERATORS CONFER.
They Want to Lessen the Number of Grades and Regulate Prices in Common
 Territory

A conference of coal operators of Ala bama and Tennessee concluded yester- day, after a two days secret session. The conference, it is understood, was for the purpose of lessening the number of grades of coal and also to arrive at some agreement as to prices in common terri tory, that is, territory which is tributary to the mines of both states and in which no coal mines exist.
 The following companies were repre- sented at the conference: E. c. Camp, president of the Coal Creek Coal com pany, Knoxville. Tenn; Randall A. Clapp, president Southern Jellico Coal company; Dr. McFerrin, Middlesboro Ky; J. R. Woodbridge of the Woodbridge Jellico Coal company. Several local coal operators were present at the conference.
 The visitors were taken to the Corona mines in Walker county yesterday on a special Southern railway train, and re- turned to Tennessee last night.

MAY BE A BONANZA QUEEN.
A Daughter of the "Old Roman" Strikes It
 Rich in California.

Daughter of the Old hOman'' Strikes It
 Rich in California.
 Los Angeles, Dec. 12-News comes from the Colorado desert mining camp of Pcalcho, near Yuma that Mary Thur man, now Mrs. Holiday, daughter of Judge Thurman, has made the richest gold strike known in any of the desert camps for years. She was prospecting in the hills and found vein that prom ises to make her bonanza queen.
 Mary Thurman was once the belle of Washington, and there she married Lieu tenant Cowles. now United States naval attache in London, who recently welded Miss Roosevelt, sister of the secretary of the United States embassy. Cowles and she soon disagreed and he permit ted her to get divorce. Then she came west to San Diego and lived at Tia Juan, on the Mexican line. There she met and married Thomas Gifford,a dash ing adventurer, who proved to have wife and two little children living. She got divorce from Clifford and then sur prised her friends by marrying Bug" Holiday, the baseball player. She is known in all the mining camps of south ern California.
 Columbus, Dec. 12.-Allan w. Thur man, a brother of Mrs. Holiday. when asked today if he could verify the report of his sisters rich strike of gold said: D s"When my sister was last in Columbus I bought her interest in my mothers estate-something like 1000 acres of land, I believe. She wished the money to use in developing her mining interests, which at that time were considerable. Her husband, MT. Holiday, is an industrious sman, and they have been active in pros specting and operating mining properties for some time. I have not heard from them, however, and thus cannot say any thing positively.
 ''Of one thing you may be sure, how ever," smilingly added MT. Thurman. "and that is I will not desert the cause of free silver simply because we may have a gold mine in the family

 'sA Light From St. Agnes"
 During her southern tour Minnie Mad dern Fiske will produce one of her one act plays that has not yet been seen on the stage. It is entitled "A Light From St. ;Agnes's and it is one of the most dramatic pieces ever compassed in one act Like most of Mrs. Fiske's little dramas, 1t is tragic, and, like all of her own plays its locale is in the south. It has but three figures-a priest, ruft1an and a young woman, his victim. The play presents a strange psychological study is remarkably vivid as picture of sinister life, and its atmosphere is as intrinsic as that of scene by Dore.

THE COTTON BELT wITHDRAws.
It Will Disrupt the Southwestern Passen
 ger Association

Chicago, Dec 12.-The Cotton Belt road recently withdrew from the Southwestern Passenger association, but suspended its notice of withdrawal for time pending a settlement of the diff ference which led it to step out. This time being up and the differences being still unsettled the road has renewed it's withdrawal. This probably means the dissolution of the association. The Cot ton Belt road wanted to pay S1 commits sion in excess of the other lines and also asked the right to sell likewise $1 cheap er There was no change in the eastern freight situation today. Several rates were made as heretofore; but no an- nouncement of an open cut was made, inor is any now expected for several days at least.
