Coal Production.
ing and Mining Journal.

Engineering and Mining Journal.
 The production of coal in the United States increased very largely during the greater than ever before. We have al- ready received reports of its production in considerable number of states, and are thus enabled to make an estimate of the total output, which will be found fairly accurate.
 The total production of coal in the United States in 1895 amounted to about 195 100000 tons of POGO pounds, or 176, 902,- 800 metric tons. valued al $212. .000, GOO, a compared with 169,960,781 short tons, or 154229,3S3 metric tons. in 1894, valued at $184 ,721 ,S71.
 Colorado produced 3.449.000 short tons; Maryland 3,346,346 tons; Wyoming, 2,600- 900 tons; Alabama, 6,000 900 tons; Indiana, 4,0S0,025 tons; Indian territory, 1,22S 440, a total for these states of 20, 703,S29 tons, or 23.9 per cent more than their output in 1894. The increase in production in most of the other states was almost as great as this.
 The production of anthracite in 1895 was about 55,000000 short tons, or about 3,500,000 tons more than in 1894 The bi- luminous coal production was about 140 900, 900 short tons.
 The United States is rapidly moving up toward the first place as the greatest coal producer in the world. No doubt be- fore the year 1900 it will have reached that point.

PRESIDENT TOM SEDDON
Takes Hopeful View of Our Industrial Out
 look


 MT. Thomas H. Seddon, president of the Sloss Iron and Steel company who has been In Nashville for several days, was interviewed and thus reported in yesterdays Nashville Sun:
 When asked his views as to the south ern outlook, he said: With us down in Alabama during the months of October, November and December our contracts for both coal and iron showed great in- creases in comparison with the business of a long period, and we were rapidly recuperating from the distressed condi- tions of the financial disturbances which have had so much to do toward depress- ing trade during the past few years. And, though the recent furry has not seri- ously felt, at the same time>w we have con tracts unfulflled for both coal and iron which will keep us pretty busy until all traces of the Christmas present drops disappear.
 "Yes, I think the outlook hopeful and the panicky condition which obtained during the holidays will not affect prices long. As l said there are several con tracts to be covered.
 AS to Cleyeland's Venezuelan mes sage, the people of the entire south sup ported him to a man. and they would support any man, no matter his creed or party, when it comes to an insult to their country and their flag. This support is not confined, in my opinion to the south either but comes enthusiastic from all over the country.
 NO, I don't believe the root of our financial woes is a question between the single or double standard of gold. or gold

AUGSBURG.
Notable Business Changes-A Flourishlng
 School Resumes.


 Blossburg, Jan Special )-Mr. E. E. Tutwiler, for many years the trusted and confidential store manager for the Sloss Steel company at Coalburg, has been ap- pointed auditor and assistant to the president of the TutWiler Coal, Coke and .Iron company, with headquarters at this place. MT. Tutwiler by his fair dealing and conscientious business methods en- deared himself in a great degree to the people of Coalburg, who are loath to give him up, but their loss is our gain and we welcome him most heartily into our midst, and trust from the eminent sue cess attained in his past position we may draw a happy augury for his future. The Sloss company parted with him with much regret and appointed his brother in-law, MT. Lewis Walton, to succeed him.
 The mines have about recovered from the effects of Christmas and New Year and are getting down to work again. The children resumed their school du- ties this morning after two weeks vaca- ton. Blossburg brides itself on having the most successfully managed school in the district, having nearly 150, scholars and running ten months, with as able corps of teachers as found anywhere, and one of the most attractive features is it's cheapness to the individual, cost ing no one over 75 cents per month tui- tion, regardless of the number of pupils sent, and if less than two only 30 cents.

 Two Burglar Tramps Caught
 Ozark, Jan. 6.-(Special Correspond ence )-County court is in session today and as consequence the city has been full of people, The most important case on the docket was White Capping case, in which some young men were impli- cated. A negro woman, Sarah TraWlck, became involved in a difficulty with a white woman at Newton and, it is said, fought the white woman like a tigress. The night after the difficulty occurred she was waited on by posse and whip ping was administered to her. She was given a few hours in which to leave town, which she did.
 Willie Goldsmith and James Marlow two tramps, were arrested four miles below here Saturday evening, charged with burglarizing the store of MT. J. B. Carter of Tennille Friday night. The arrest was made by Constable owens and City Marshal Martin, and when ar rested the parties had in their possession articles of merchandise, which were iden- tlfed as goods stolen from the store. They confessed the crime and implicated another tramp, who has not yet been captured.
 Judge Morris, the probate judge of the county, is now negotiating for the hire of the convicts for this county. They were hired last year to the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, but he has been able to renew the contract with them for this year.
 Rev. B. c. Geisner, the new Methodist preacher, preached his first sermon here yesterday and his large congregation was very much pleased with him. It is given out here that the old Blue Lumber company mill, located at New ton, ten miles south of here, is to start up again by the 1st of February It has been purchased by Dimmick & Smith, who have ample capital and who will greatly enlarge it. It will give employment to about 100 hands.
 The rumor is also current here that the South Alabama and Gulf railroad people have proposed to the people of Newton that If they would raise STOOD that they would build this road from Newton to Greenville. The people of Newton will of course raise the neces- sary funds and are rather jubilant over the prospects of securing the road. It will be remembered that a charter was era nted this company by the last legis-
