Was the Effort to Arrange Matters in the Kan
 awha Valley

Charleston, W. Va, Oct. 14-The eff forts to adjust the diferences between the coal operators of the Kanawha Val ley and their msn failed utterly and President Ratchford left tonight for Co., lumbus disheartened over his failure Two conferences were hsld today be- tween a committee of miners including President Ratchford and Chris Evans and a committee of operators.
 The price offered by the operators was 32 cents for soft and 56 cents for hard coal. The miners accepted this, but when the question of a signed agree ment to bind all the operators was pre- scented they objected. They wanted the owner of each individual mine to make and sign a separate contract
 This was the first disagreement and the second one was on demand made by the miners that the men should not be discriminat5d against for not dealing at the companys' store. The operators refused to agree to this and the con- ference was at an end.

FLOMATON QUARAN TINED.
The News of Fever There Created Much Ex-
 citement in Montgomery. st

Special to The Age-Herald:
 Montgomery, Oct. 14.-The report that five cases of yellow fever had developed at Flomaton on the Louisville and Nashville railroad about twenty miles south of Brewton was disagreeable news here. People here had ceased to talk or think of yellow fever and the fact that railroad crews have been running daily between this city and Flomaton served to arouse some little anxiety The au- thorities, however promptly set to work and hustled all persons out of the city who had been in FTomaton within twen- ty days and the public mind feels res lievd again.
 Flomaton has been included in the state quarantine.

TRIED HARD TO DIE.
Inflicted Eighteen Clashes in His Neck After
 Taking Laudanum.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 14.-Early yester- day morning a man drove from one of the depots to the Jefferson house and registered as "G. Coe of New York" After breakfast he ordered cab and started for a days drive around the city. Late at night he ordered his cab man to drive him out to Seven Pines, and 1t was in the neighborhood of the national cemetery that the driver first discovered that he was attempting sui- eide by gashlblg himself win a knife.
 The driver Stanted towards fhe city at full gallop. When he arrived at the corner of Twenty-fifth and Broad streets he met Policeman Parkinson and told him of his patrons condition. The po- licen1an entered the cab and ordered the driver to proceed to the police station. Here it was discovered that the man had swallowed quantity of laudanum, and as that did not kill him he com menced sta bbing himself in the throat. He had inflicted eighteen wounds upon his neck and several upon his wrists. He was taken to the retreat for the sick.
 It is said that his real name is Coe- bert, and that he is from Brooklyn, N. r., though the physicians will not give his initials and address. It is stated from other sources that the man is a contractor, and had lost heavily. His wife has been telegraphed for.
 It was learned definitely tonight that the would1be suicide is George Coebert, a contractor of Brooklyn. He says he contracted for fifty houses in that city and lost money on them. His physicains say he will be able to return home day after tomorrow.

braves in line. If defeat threatened croker's policy would have disrupted the organization, but every man in Tam many wants to be with the machine when 1t comes into control of Greater New York, so the diseontented will nurse their wrath in secret and vote the ticket.
 The feeling against Crol1er is due to variety of causes, but the chief one is the conviction that under his leadership no young man of intelligence and ability has any chance to rise from the ranks until he has laid his independence and self-respeet in the dust at the feet of the boss The men who have been faith ful to Croker and have done his bid ding at all times have been rewarded.
 The county ticket is made up of such men. There are hundreds of bright young men in New York. many of them from the south, who have always been democrats. They recognize Tammany as the regular organization of the party. They are willing to work in the ranks, to devote time, talent and energy to building up the machine, but they want a chance to stand on their merits and work their way to the front if they can. E Under the leadership of Croker they have no chance and they know it.
 The same old hacks who have been in office for years are to be rewarded be- cause they obeyed Croker and recognized no other power in the organization Brains and responsibility do not count against faithful service to the 'old man." Croker has nominated men who will do he will fill the offices of Greater New York with men who have been barnaclss on the organization for years.
 Then there is feeling of resentment against him becaus= he resigned and went away to Europe in 1894 when de- fear was certain, and now comes back to become dictator again when victory seems reasonably certain. But this fsel- ing is not strong enough to result in any general knifing of the ticket, and MT. Caoker's candidates will probably be eleoted.
 The World and Journal are trying to outdo each other in the publication of straw ballots. These so-called ballots are absolutely worthless and are un- noticed in this city. They are no more reliable than the circulation figures of the new journalism.
 The men and the newspapers who are fighting Platt in this campaign seem to tall@ it for granted that the defeat of his ticket in the local election will mean the ending of his power as a leader They seem to overlook the fact that if he does not elect a single member of the assembly from the sixty districts of Greater New York he would still have a good working majority in both houses of the legislature. The new city charter may require many changes and much additional legislation may be needed, no matter who is elected mayor, and when the reformers or the Tammany leaders go to Albany next year they will still have to deal with Boss Platt. As at least fifteen and possibly twenty of the as- sambly districts in the city are safely republican the chances are that Senator Platt's state machine will continue in good working order for several years ito come no matter how the city election goes.

An Impressive Ceremony.

Down in Georgia when a man be-
comes a justice of the peace he relies
largely upon fees received from per-
forming marriage ceremonies, and it
behooveS him to offer inducements to
customers. A certain judge of Madi-
son, Ga, does net intend to lose any
patronage for want of trying to Sc
sure it. He has adopted new system
of advertisement, which has succeeded
so admirably that the country folks,
and especially the colored people,
have almost come to believe that he
is the only man in the state cOmpe-
tent to join them, and that all other
marriage ceremonies are base imita-
tions and possibly illegal. \ young
cOlored couple came to his house one
evening when he was slipping mint
tulips with some of his friends on his
broad front porch and asked him to
marry them. He went through the
usual ceremony, and then raising both
hands, said, impreSSively; by the
authority vested in me as an officer of
the state of Georgia, which is some
times called the Empire state of the
South; by the fields of cotton that
spread about in snowy whiteness
around us; by the howl of the coon
dog and the gourd vine whose cling
ing tendrils will shade the entrance
to your humble dwelling place. by the
red and 1uciOus heart of the water
melon, whose sweetness fills the heart
with joy;iby the heavens and earth,
