yesterday that anosher anthracite coal deal
was on foot which would result In q more
tharough understanding all around and
better prices To the railroads
The anthracite coal situation is in better
condition than II has been for man months.
and it was the intention To advance prices
% cents on June 1 If it had not been
for the action OF the attorney general OF
New York, who is preparing TO institute
another inyesti CATION.
IL was said yesterday by coal men that
an advance might come at any time now.
regardless OF the investigation All of
the companies have been restricting their
output - closely that the sales To date this
year are two million behind last year, and
the dcIuand is now such as to carry the
price upward without effort.
Advices from Philadelphia yesterday
stated tFat the initiative would probably
be taken 10y the Philadelphia Reading Com
pany. The rep0rto of an early establishment
of a central selling coal agency in Buffalo
and other large cities was revived. but

Escaped the Flames.

About o'clock last Saturday even
ing Arthur Clarke had a narrow es-
cape from being burned to death
When putting out large Rochester
lamp that hung in his jewelry shop.
the wire with which the lamp was
hung gave way, letting the lamp fall
into the show case, and causing the
flames to burst out reaching the cell
ing. Mr.. Clarke gathered hold of the
lamp to throw it out, aud just as he
reached the door the thing exploded,
scattering burning oil all over the
room and enveloping Mr.. Clarke in
flames. He succeeded in getting the
lamp outside the building then turned
his attention to himself. He was on
fire from head to foot, when Vic Mar
den enrapped him in his overcoat and
smothered out the blaze. Mr.. Clarke
was somewhat burned about tho hands
and face, ard his left ear was badly
singed, though his injuries are only
temporary, and the jewelry shop is
pretty badly scorched, but the damage
is only slight.

Collection Day Changed.

The following petition has been cir.
culated in The Dalles and signed by
the business houses of the city whose
names are hereto attached, changing
the day for monthly collections from
the second to the third day of each
month:
Realizing that the day set apart
for general collections (the second day
of each month"; does not allow many of
our merchants sufficient time for the
proper settlement Of their books and
checking up of accounts, also that the
second of the month in many instances
falls on Saturday or Sunday, thereby
necessitating the postponement of col
lections till the following day, we here
by agree that we will hereafter collect
on the third of each month, and when
the third of the month shall fall on
Sunday or holiday we will collect the
following day."

FUN ON THE OLD CLIPPERS.
Not to Be Had on Modern RecOrd'
Rran kfnn Liners

Not to Be Had on Modern RecOrd-
Breaking Liners.
"One of the youngsters asked me the
other day." said the old skipper, re-
ports the New York Times, 'if had
ever been to Europe on a record-break-
ing liner. 1 tcld him hadn't, and never
wanted to go there that way. 1t is just
a question of engineers and stokers,
mere landsmen, on big liner, and I'd
rather ship before the mast, even on one
of your lubberly 4O-day steel square
Triggers with bows like a canal boat,
than go on a steamship. 1t would be
just about as interesting to me as trip
On railroad train.
"The kind of sailing 1 like it will never
be the privilege of you young fellows
to indulge in. You will never know the
fun of having a, clipper craft as sharp
as steamboat under your feet jumping
across the sea under a press of canvas
never seen on ocean-going sailing ves-
sells nowadays, with her rigging as taut
as iron bars, and your shipmates hold
ing your hair on your head.
"'What she can't carry she may
lug was the text at sea then. remem-
ber when I was in the clipper North
ern Light we carried stu'n'sails slap
into Boston harbor, making the famous
passage of &c days and hours from San
Francisco. Our ship worked like bas-
ket; but we had shipped double crew
for the run, and one crew did nothing
but pump ship. There was some crack
ing on of sail when ships of 1000 tons or
more had all their top hamper whisked
over on the lee side while the skipper
was turning to spit over the taffrail.
Even after that some OF the ships made
good passages. It's Il funeral nowadays

One Way Out of Trouble.

A few days ago Geo. Sizemore, dep.
uty sheriff of Harvey county, arrived
here with warrant for the arrest oi
j. c. Hearth and another party, wanted
at Burns to answer to charge OF
horse stealing. He readily located
Hearth and placed him under arrest,
but the other party could not be found,
so Mr.. Sizemore contented himself
with the hope of being able to take
Hearth back with him, but in this he
was foiled. Some time ago Hearth
was bound over to answer before the
grand jury on a charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon and was out on
bail. Whom arrested on the warrant
from Harvey county he delivered him
self to the sheriff here, relinquish his
bondsmen. Nothing remained for
Sheriff Driver to do except to take the
prisoner in custody, and refuse to de-
liver him to Mr.. Sizemore. Hearth's
scheme is a clever one, as it will re-
lieve him of trip to Harney county
for the present at least.

Cow IN the Second lssory.

7 1t used to be the favorite amusement
of college boys to lead horses or cows
up to the second story of buildings i'm
order that the college authorities might
have the satisfaction of taking the an
imals down again by means of derriclls.
1t is very seldom that one of the poor
creatures ventures to make the ascent
itself, but such instances occasionally
happen. One IS reported from Miry
Brook, Conn.,, where a farmer missed
one of his cows, and as his family had
gone to call on a neighbor, he locked up
the house and went out to hunt for the
missing animal. He tramped into dusk
and searched every place he thought it
possible that the COW might have
strayed to, but without success. When
he reached home his attention was at
tracted by apeculiar noise in the house,
and hurried inside, and there was the
COW in a room on the second floor. The
animal had climbed the stairs after
wandering in the open door. 1t took
the farmer three hours to get the COW
downstairs again.-Troy Times. -I..
