THE ANTHRACITE TRADE.
In Good Condition, and an Advance
in Prices Expected This Week.

1t is expected that an advance of 25
cents q ton on the present circular
prices for anthracite coal will be an
nounced this week, making the price
at tidewater s425 a ton for stove coal,
with corresponding advance for other
sizes. The increased demand is said
to warrant the advance which the
Reading company has reported to have
decided upon some days ago.
Good judges believe that when the
June figures are made up they will
show an output of about 3,00O,000 tons,
ard that as much as 100000 tons may
be required for the July market. The
supply at tide water points has been
reduced and shipments to the West
have begun.

smoke and soon quite a large crowd had
gathered around the northeast corner
of the building.
Patrolman Sartor discovered that the
smoke came from a melting pot in the
basement where some workmen were

DENISE OF THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The recent election returns show de-
Dlorabe state of affairs, in that the
noble band of patriots, known as the gold
democrats have been spirited away and
tie places that knew them knows them
no more forever!
Whether they have been stolen by the
wicked Mr. Hanna of Ohio or have been
lost in the shuttle is the cOnundrum
which now presents itself to the Ameri-
can people. In the universal harmony
of things the latter theory is probably
correct, but if their remains should ever
be found they should be placarded with
the sane epitaph as the negro did his
mule: "Heah you lies No one so POI
as to do you reverence! You hab no
pride OBJ ancestry; you hab no hope OBJ
posterity."

"The guano and supply dealers are

"a supply dealer stated to The News
today that out of eighty-four mules sold

Her CONFESSION
WROUGHT BY A SERMON AND AN
INNOCENT CHILD.
suppe Trial.

Most newspaper readers are familiar
with the horrible details of the Gulden-
suppe murder, for which Mrs Mack and
Martin Thorn have been brought to trial
in New York. First the woman confess
ed, and, while admitting her own com
pli3ity, charged the actual planning and
execution of the murderous deed to
| Thorn. Now the two accused ones
charge each other with the deed. The
woman says "He did it," and the man
says "She did it." The man was first
put on trial with TIE woman as the states
witness against him, but before the case
was concluded one OF the jurors was
stricken with appendicitis, and now
new jury is to be drawn and the whole
trial gone over again from the begin
ming.
But to the story of the woman's con-
fession.
Religion and child paved the way for
the great dramatic climax in this great
and strongest of murder cases.
The sensational confession made by
Mrs, Mack was due to a sermon and the
influence Of child. The two worked
upon her mind, aroused all the latent re-
ligious feeling of her woman's nature
and caused her conscience to assert it.
self.
These two Influences child and a
, sermon-did what the keenest detectives
III Greater New Y ork had been unable to
accomplish.
The sermon was preached by Che Rev.
Robert H. P. Miles, pastor of the Raw
enswood Presbyterian church of Long

son, Parker.
Mr.. Miles preached sermon-a sim
pie, personal appeal-to her in her cell

Suddenly she stopped him.
"WOuld God forgive me, too?" she
asked with tears in her eyes.

self and her former lover.
Yesterday Mrs. Mack was besieged
with terror. When informed in her cell
that the jury would be discharged the
color went out of her face, she ate little
or no breakfast and seemed lost IN agitat-
ed thoughts.
Later, when she learned that, legally,
after the discharge of the jury, her con-
fession had no existence, her manner be-
came tragic. At no time since her arrest
has she exhibited mora agitation.
Her confession and Thorn's virtual
confession have brought them both most
certainly within the very shadow of the
cleo trio death-cha.r.
