Passengers Alarmed by an Obstreperous

When Conductor Fiaherty asked for Stein
hilber's fare he received a refusal garnished
with language that was more forcible than
elegant. Persuasions and threats failed and
finally the conductor notified Motorman
Kleese to stop the car. The work of eiecting
the obstreperous passenger commenced. The
other passengers made space for the fray and
after several long, strong pulls Steinhilber
was elected. AS he landed upon the ground
he picked up large stone and hurled it
through one of the car windows. For
tunately none of the passengers
were struck by It, The conductor and
motorman were about to resume the
journey when Steinhilber prepared to throw
more stones. Stenhlber was threatened.

WRIGHT ALL RIGHT.
Hard Times Make Rough Roads For an
Optician.

After patiently and Intellectually waiting
three months for an improvement in the
times aud corresponding increase in his
practice Mr. Wright the optician, concluded
yesterday to pull up stakes and strike out for
pastures new. He proceeded to move his be-
longings from the Office he rented at the
corner of Jardin and Lloyd streets without
striking balance with the land
lord and bad made the removal
complete before the representative Of
the latter appeared upon the scene
Constable Ialiesin Phillips was called into
play. He followed the goods to the Fergu-
son House. The first thing he found was a
bicycle belonging to Mrs. Wright This was
quickly confscated and later some furniture
was levied upon The optcan intended
leaving town last night, but the turn in
affairs caused postponement of the de-
parture. Quite a stir was caused at the
hotel by the incident and it was in
creased when the Constable was warned
to give up the bicycle or take the
consequences. Phillips held on to the
wheel, however, and paid no heed to the
claim that it belonged to Mrs. Wright It
subsequently developed that both Wright and
his wife had signed the iron clad lease and
that the property of both were subject to
legal process in default of payment Of rent.
A replevin suit was threatened and the re-
ply was made that should the trouble be pro-
longed the landlord would insist upon rent
for six months, as provided by the lease but
If q settlement was made only the amount
for the unpaid month would be asked To-
day the parties got together on the latter
basis and now Wright is all right

STATISTICS |
The Great Decrease in Anthracite Coal
Production.
WHILE BlTUMlNOUS INCREASES
In Pennsylvania the Production of Anthra-
cite Decreased Nearly 4, csc, 900 Tons
Below the Production Of 1894
and 1000, 600 Below
Last Year.

Philadelphia, June 1.-THE compila-
tion of the statistics of coal production
I'm the United States i'm 1895 which has
just been completed by Statlstician E.
w. Parker, of the United States geo
logical survey, shows that the product
in 1896 was 1870 $50, 959 short tons. valued
at $195,55I649, against 1913, III $50 short
tons, valued at s197, ,799, ,Oi3, in 1895, a
decrease Of 2,477571 short tons i'm
amount and Of $224l, ,394 in value. The
decrease i'm product was entirely in
that of Pennsylvania anthracite The
output of bituminous coal shows an in
crease of about /. $50 600 tons. The an
thracite product of Pennsylvania de-
creased nearly 4,25O 600 tons. 1t is a
notable feature, however. that there
was q decrease i'm the value of the BIZ
luminous product of over 81 600 900, not
withstanding the increased output, and
that there was a comparative increase
in the value of anthracite, although
on account Of the smaller production
It did not equal the value i'm 1895. The
average prices obtained for anthracite
at the mines increased from SL44 i'm
1885 TO S1.51 in 1896. The average price
for bituminous declined from Sc cents
to SO cents.
Among the important bltuminous
coal producing states Pennsylvania, of
course, stands first, with an output of
nearly 5OOOO.OOO tons. Illinois is an
easy second, with nearly 10000 600 tons.

Ohio which comes third and fourth.
respectively. The race between Ohio
and West Virginia was very close in
1896, there being but 1000 tons differ
ence, and the output of each nearly
l3,OOO,00O tons. These four states yield
about 20 per cent Of the total bitumi-
nous production.
Pennsylvania bituminous product
was a little more than 100000 tons
less than in 1896. Ohio lost 4S0, 900 tons.
West Virginia increased her output
about 100000 tons, and Illinois about
100000 tons The other important
states showing increased production
were Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, In
dian Territory, Kentucky, Maryland
and Texas, while Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico
Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington
and Wyoming show decreased produc-
ton West Virginia had the most inn
portant increase among the Appal-
achian states. Illinois In the middle
west and Colorado was the only state
IN the Rocky mountain region whose
production increased.

Seven Hundred Illegal Votes.

Judge Dunn commenced yesterday his ex-
animation in chief of witnesses in the Lyon
Dunn judicial contest court. Seventeen il
legal votes cast for Judge Lyon were dis
covered in the First and Fifth wards of
Pottsville and some carelessness was dis
covered on the part Of registry assessors. An
order signed by Judges Ikeler and Craig was
handed down 1t overruled the exceptions
in the bill of particulars presented by the
respondent, holding that the partial bill as
filed was sufficient 1t is claimed by friends
of Judge Lyon that the contestant has found
between six and seven hundred illegal
Democratic voters, and that about 400 of
these could not be disturbed by legalzation
or otherwise. 1t is claimed that Judge Dunn
will be unable to find an equal number OF
Illegal Republican votes, and hence the
friends of Judge Lyon openly assert that the
final termination Of the case will result in
ousting Judge Dunn, the present incumbent.
