tlmore's Police Methods.
Baltimore, July 13.-The board of po-
lice commissioners yesterday dismissed
City Marshal Jacob Frey. the actual
chief of police as the result of an in
vestigation regarding police affairs
which has been in progress for several
weeks. The charges were preferred by
the executive committee Of the Reform
League. Frey has been on the police
force in various capacities for more
than 20 years, and has been at the head
of the force for 70 years.
Captain J. j. Eilbers and Round Ser
geant Ward Meehan also received their
dismissal at the hands of the commits
sioners and several minor changes in
the force were made. Deputy Marshal
Thomas F. Farnam was temporarily
placed In charge Of the force. The vote
by which the dismissals and charges
were made was strictly partisan one,
Commissioner Schryver the only
Democrat on the police board, voting
In the negative on every proposition,
while his two Republican colleagues,
Heddineer and Johnson, voted together
at all times.
Frey was appointed to the police
force. with the rank Of captain, in 1867.
was made deputy marshal in 1870 and
marshal In 1855. During the interven-
Ing period he has made many impor-
tant arrests and ferreted out many
mysterious cases, among them bang
the famous Upper trunk mystery.
about decade ago, in which case he
victim was cut into pieces, packed in
trunk and shipped to Baltimore from
New York, where the murder was COM
mitted. 1t was mainly through the
shrewdness of Frey that the trunk was
traced back to the point of shipment
and the criminal arrested, convicted
and sentenced to a long term in Sing
Sing, where he now is.

certainty.
There has been marked increase in
the price of coal within the past few
days, and 1t Is claimed that 10-cent
rate per bushel In boat load lots will be
reached within the present week. The
retail dealers, as well as the operators
in general, concede that a famine is
imminent, and look for prices to ad-
vance beyond the limit reached dur
ing the previous general strike Of the
miners In 1894.
The operators of the Is mines In
Marion county, w. Va, which consti-
tute the Paramount coal region, on
which the result of the great miners
strike rests. gave an advance of s cents
a ton yesterday to all men. This in
crease In wages, with the cents given
the men last Wednesday. brings the
price to 40 cents ton running coal,
which is 13 cents more on the ton than
the Pennsylvania miners are striking
for, when the difference of railroad
rates and cost of screening are taken
into consideration. Notwithstanding
this advance, the sympathies of many
Of the miners In that region are with
the strlkefas and the organizers may
yet succeed$n getting the men out.
