From the Hazleton Sentinel
A great deal of interest centers in
the anthracite coal business at the pres
ent time, due to deals alleged and
otherwise. This interest is doing moth
ing for the miner, though it may event
ually develop something of advantage.
The fact that the Morgans have secured
a position in the management of the Le
high Valley affairs has already shown
its effect in an order to reduce forces
along the line. 1t should be patent to
the Morgans by this time that advanc-
ing coal rates and placing the commodity
beyond the reach Of ordinary purchasers
and forcing competition is not the wisest
course. Juding from events the past
week they take this view of the matter
and are already looking about for
another opportunity to adjust the diff
Guilty. The reduction in the railroad
forces is significant.
IL is understood that a drop in the
price of coal will take place in short
time, This will have stimulating

candidates, and, as far as the Legislature
was concerned, they did their duty man
fully. They seem to have found earnest
allies in the Regular Republicans and the
tickets were arranged to accomplish their
purposes. To insure the success OF the
conspiracy, the voters assistants were
taken from the Democrat and Republican
parties. and the Union Republicans were
forced to submit to the arrangement or no
election could be held. We do not know
what the result may be, but it really looks

outstanding the dull times, the churches
have been fairly prosperous the past year,
and the reports generally will be encour-
aging The contributions in some ill.,
stances may have fallen off slightly, but
the membership has been increased and
the church property has appreciated in
value. On the whele, the reports will be
encouraging and the ministers may DO

great upholders of law and order, the pill
lars of Church and State, and We trust
their lines for the coming year will fall in

ANOTHER FlLlBUsTeRlNe SCARE
sAs Loads Of Arms That Wore Openly
. Sent to Pensaopla.-

Sent to Pensaesia.
Pensacola, Fla, March e.-The fill
clustering excitement was revived here
yesterday when the cruiser Marble
head suddenly steamed into the harbor
and came to anchor near the Montgom-
cry. She came from the vicinity Of
Apalachicola, to take on coal. leaving
an armed launch and crew there to
keep watch until she returned.
1t Is an open secret that the cars Of
arms and boats that left Jacksonville
on Thursday arrived here. The cars
were opened. and the contents could
easily be seen. A body of Cubans went
to Apalachicola, and It Is known that
q customs officer has gone from here
to that port.
The fact that the arms and surf
boats were shipped here in open cars,
and that the Cubans went in broad
daylight to Apalachicola leads the pub
lie to conclude that the whole move
ment was only ruse to divert the at
tention Of the officers from some other
point on the coast where operations are
being carried on. In addition to the
war vessels, several men supposed to
be Pinkerton detectives are here.

Washington. March a-The case Of

States supreme court yesterday, the
decision being against the government.
The Conquerer In a pleasure vessel,
built In England for Frederick W. Van
derbilt, which upon being brought to
this country in 1890 was seized as a
dutiable article by the collector of cus-
toms at New York. Mr.. Vanderbilt
brought suit to recover the vessel and
also for damages In the sum of $4,000.
The decision declares that the vessel
could not be classed as goods, wares,
or merchandise. II the vessel had been
navigated by foreign owner 1t could
have piled with impunity in our waters.
If, therefore, the vessel was subject to
duty at all, 1t was because 1t was the
property Of an American citizen. This
was unfair. Furthermore, the vessel

The mysterious Touohton murder case
10 still occupying the attention of tho po-
lice. While so much has been printed in
the newspapers about the case there has
been nothing new really found that could
point to any clue. The manner of Mrs
Stanley Touchton's death is shroudea in
mystery and will probably never be known
1t may be murder, but then again, it is as
likely to have been suicide, as she had
threatened time and timo again to never
come back to Wilmington alive. Her
talks with Mrs. Beldleman were always
Of what death was the easiest. She seem
ed to feel her position, even after her mar
risge and had no desire to return to Will
mington to live. The birth of her child
brought no love with it, she was willing
10 have the child put out with strangers,
anything to get rid of it. Rcmorso after
bhe child was put away, may have been
bhe means of fastening her notion to
sommit suicide.
