TO Confscate Coal.

Chicago. July S.-Railroad companies
today issued orders to confiscate all coal
being carried over their lines.
The order carried confusion with its ex-
ecutiOn and local coal companies who ex-
pected TO receive special shipments TO
meet the demand of the day We're thrown
on the.- own resources TO overcome the
difficulty.
The price of common soft coal jumped
30 cents a ton. while soft screenings were
rated at just double their customary
value. Fully 1900 carloads from the
mines in southern Illinois were cOnfiscated
by the railroad companies. The seizure
is made because of a recent supreme court
decision which says that in case Of strikes
the railroad companies have the right to
confiscate any coal on their property re-
CARELESS Of their consignee. The railroad
companies claim they are executing their
just rights, as they maintain their con-
tracts with the coal companies cali for so
many thousand tons a year. and when
strikes prevail they are simply taking
their balance Que in the contract instead
of waiting until the bins are nearly empty
as heretofore.

Dudley Maynard Nesmith killed him
self with revolver.
Nesmth was a miner, having been
in the employ of the Lucky Boy
company at Custer, Idaho, and was
on his way to this city when the fatal
explosion of the revolver occurred
The deceased got on the train at
40 o'clock yesterday morning at
Blackfoot Idaho, and the only thing
known of him by any OF the passen-
gers was from observation, he not
having spoken TO anyone on The train
except to ask what time the train
would reach Ogden. The man sat in
front of james Herrick of Ogden,
and from him the particulars of the
affair were obtained.
From Mr.. Herrick's statement it
seems that as the train neared Brig
ham City, the deceased walked to-
ward the front end of the car and got
drink. Returning to his seat he
stopped down between the two car
seats and opened his valise. Instant
ly and without warning of any kind
the report of the gun rang out and
the man fell back with ragged hole
in his right temple. Before the train
reached Brigham City Nesmith was
dead and his remains were taken
from the train at that point.
An examination showed that the
bullet had passed through the head,
