DARK LANTERN CONSPIRACY
Burglars Enter "a Store in Eufaula and
Help Themselves-Their Fa-
Vorite Place.
Eufaula Times.

Eufaula Times.
George Rollins keeps store on lower
Barbour street. He keeps canned goods
and fancy groceries. And yesterday
George was mad. His is a favorite place
for burglars. Tuesday night, for the
third time some person or persons, un-
known, went into his place and helped
themselves. They seemed pleased with
the brand of salmon and cleaned the
shelves They liked Georges cheese and
took as much as was handy. They dip
ped into his Ben Davis apples, and help
ed themselves generously to whatever
was convenient, filing up an oat sack and
walking away. George is fretted over
the matter And he is tired of being 50
treated He gave expression yesterday
to the Times man of his disp.easure. He
thinks the thieves might, at least, let his
stock alone for a while and try other
mercantile establishments as variety.
The thief was poor fellow and not one
of your up to date brass mounted, gold
trimmed thieves. Instead of carrying a
bulps-eye lantern he carried cigar box
with small tin snuff box full of kerosene
with wick in a tube and open spaces in
the cigar box for the light TO shine out.
He just turned his two-for-a nickel Ian
tern on Georges salmon and swept the
whole shelf into sack. then grabbed the
cheese and picked out his prettiest apples
and other things and was gone. leaving
the lantern as a souvenir of the trans
action. And George is cross about that
lantern. He is disposed to think that
fellow coming around to rob him should
have displayed more taste than to work
up the job with an old wooden light like
that. Then George has another COM
paint. The internal rascal, after boring
great hole in the door went around and
priced off the shutters with an old screw
driver which 1t is learned, had been the
property of Mr.. w. r. Priest. and which
was stolen from that gentleman a month
or more ago. George thinks he might
have left his door or his window one IN
harmed.
Yesterday morning Officer Bradley and
others tracked the thief to the river
bridge He either went across or up
or down the river on this side. And we
right here give the rascal a tip. Let him
not run across George. If he does, the
popular hackman will carve him up,
sure.

THE COKE STATUS.

1t cannot be said that any considerable
Improvement has taken place during the
past seven days in either pig iron, coal
or coke, IN or out of labama, and we
reproduce the following by the Courier
of the status of affairs in the Connells-
Vile tPa.) district:
eThe coke trade has little variety in
its movements, the production lowering
about the l00,o00-ton mark with clock
work regularity. There was a slight de-
crease in the production last week, but
the shipments were little in excess as
compared with the previous week. The
Painey plants, with the exception of
Grace, worked only four days last week
instead of five, which accounts for the
slump principally, and the output was
still further decreased at the works of
the Oliver Coke and Furnace company,
where the active ovens at No. ! plant
have been reduced to 200. and at No. 2 to
las At Clarissa and Nellie, owned by
James Cochran. Sons & Co. and Brown Ss
Cochran, respectively. 100 ovens were
blown out. q at the former and 81 at tho
latter These plants have been running
full for many months. But the shutdown
at Clarissa and Nellie was offset by the
firing of number of Frick ovens, "a at
Adelaide. SIS at Prick and at Morgan.
our detailed report for the week end
ing on Jan. 80, shows 1889 ovens in the
region. 1883 active and S,156 idle, the esti-
mated weekly production being 9S,45i
tons The coke trade during the month
of January all things considered, has
been encouraging. The list of active ov-
ems increased from 9764 TO $3.50 and the
production by weeks has been augmented
propoftionately. One operator states
that some of the furnaces have become
overstocled with coke, which is only
a temporary condition. Already the in
dications for next week are brighter.
The shipments for the week foot up
600S cars, distributed as follows: To
Pittsburg and river tipples, 1876; to
points west of Pittsburg. 2,623; to points
east of the Connellsville region 1905
This is an increase of 206 cars as COM
pared with the week previous
The working time in the region aver
aged a fraction more than five days last
weeek.
