MR. HANNA's purse was so fnll last
fal that it was only tied with spiders
web; now it is so empty that it is tied
with cables, the necessary result being
that registration in Cincinnati is l1,0oO

10000 less; in Toledo 5000 less, in
Dayton 1900 less and in Columbus,
the most complete of ell, 1000 e's. By

The charge that the late extensive
coal miners strike was instigated and
promoted by the owners of some
of the coal mines, could not be denied,
and that men can take three months
vacation at time, and then resume
work on the same old terms, certainly
doesn't indicate that their families are
in danger of starving, that is, if the
strikers have good sense; and that the
West Virginia miners must have a
large reserve fund on hand, is proved
by the fact that now, at the commence.
ment of winter, they have resumed
their strike.

AS THE Southern Rilway Company
wouldn't do anything toward building
a short line to the coal fields of West
Virginia, the Chesapeake and Ohio
Company, approaching the great ad-
vantage to be derived from increased
trade with those fields, has commenced
the survey of route to them. The
distance is short from the coal fields
in Hardy county to point on the Ma.
nassas Branch of the Southern, and has
already been surveyed. The price of a

with the profits of its coal trade.
