The aunnual report Of the mineral

Philadelphia Press: The anthracite
companies have legal right to do
their business in a way for the best In
terests of the owners and the proper
ties. The officials of the companies
are not criminals, and IL they would
stop evasion and act like business
men in an earnest way they would
discover the fact to their own satisfac-
tion. They have the right to restrict
tonnage and to make and enforce
rules and regulations among Them
selves. to adopt prices and to do any
similar acts which are within reason.
If they would act openly, wisely and
prudently the Jail doors would not al
ways be yawning and there would be
some stability in the trade which
might be advantageous In the long run
both to the producer and consumer.
i
Interesting experiments In the use
of powdered fuel by the Wagener sys-
tenn are now being conducted In Lon
don, says an exchange. Small sacks
of powdered coal, weighing about a
hundred weight, are put In conical
hopper. The powdered coal gradual
ly falls out of the sacks as required
into the hopper, mad then into a sieve
about five and One-half inches In d.
ameter, with small openings in 1t. The
powdered coal would not go through
the sieve with certainty without con-
tinual tapping. and this Is done In the
following way: Immediately beneath
the hopper, and level with the boiler
house floor, Is an air pipe about twenty
inches in diameter, through which
nearly all the air for combustion en-
tiers. As 1t enters 1t is made to pass
through the blades of an air wheel or
turbine, and this passage of the air
causes the latter to revolve like a
smoke jack. On the axle of this wheel
there Is a little knOcker which taps
the sieve about $50 or 200 times per
minute. causing powdered coal to de-
scend vertically. The powdered coal
and air for proper combustion I'm this
way get mixed thoroughly together
and pass on into the boiler fiue, each
particle Of coal being surrounded by
air. There Is no CRATE and there are no
fire doors. and the stocking simply con-
sists Of putting a sack of powdered

much debate upon it, first on Senator

yeas. Is: nays, 80: SO that the bill re-
mains lin that respecO as IL passeu
the house. Mr.. Hills motion deVei-
oped a political controversy, and no.
tice was given by Mr.. German 'Dem'
Md that the discussion could not be
cut Off, but would assume pretty large
dimensions With the object of avoid
ing this threatened political debate.
Mr. Cullom (Rcp., I'D, who was IN
charge of the bill. moved to lay Mr..
Hill's motion on the table: but Mr.
Cullom's motion was disagreed to

The Democratic senators were aided
by the votes of the Populists and or
two Republicans, Senators Frye and
Wolcott. Thereupon Mr.. Cullom with
drew all opposition to Mr.. Hflfs mo-
tion and II was agreed to. That prac-
ttcally ended the consideration of the

ASSAULTED a GIRL.
Paterson Man Arrested WHO May BE
Manic SuIIiynn's Mmrderef.

Paterson, n. j.. March S.-Nicholas $
Cole, forty years Old, OF the silk throwing 9
firm of Nightingale " Cole, was arrested
this evening, charged with having com
mitted a brutal assault on Miss Lizzie Van
Ripper, aged eighteen years, near the
corner of East Eighteenth and Ellison
streets which is two blocks from the place
where Mamie Z. Sullivan was murdered
on Wednesday evening.
1t is alleged that he followed the girl
for about one hundred yards, and when at
a lonesome spot, caught her by the neck
She cried for help, but had scarcely
screamed, when he seized her by the throat
and struck her twice in the mouth with
his fist, causing blood 10 flow.
Cole, seeing some one approa ching, ran
away, but was soon Cvcrtaken by pCicc-
man. a crowd of nearly one thousand
persons surrounded the prisoner and fol-
lowed him to the station, and threats tC
lynch him were heard on every side. Cole
is a married man and the father of four
children. He is separated from his wife,
however, and is seeking a divorce.
The police tonight think that Cole pos
sibly is connected with the Sullivan mur-
der, and have begun an investigation on
that limo
