EFFECT NOT YET FELT.
But, if soft Coal Strike Continues, 1t
Soon will Be.

The Philadelphia Stakeholder has
this to say about the strike among
the bituminous miners and its effect
on the anthracite coal trade:
Material effect of the strike of Bit
luminous coal miners is as yet scarcely
perceptible in the hard coal situation.
The general condition of the trade is
obviously lettering from day to day.
1t Is gratifying to note that the lead
ing companies are determinedly oppos-
ing any large augmentation of output
on account of the soft-coal strike. "A
policy that would lead to large in
crease in production would embarrass
the facilities of the carrying companies
and endanger a temporary glut of the
market Should the strike be pro-
lcnged for ten days or two weeks, the
exhaustion of supplies at western
points may divert sOft-coal from the
seaboard markets and thus create q
heavy demand for anthracite. Such a
protraction of the labor troubles would
also give rise to a call for anthracite
steam sizes at the west, but unfortun-
ately the supply of anthracite steam
sizes is not equal to the demands of its
natural markets.
wheat and rice sizes has hitherto been
commented upon in these columns.
For a number of years the anthracite
producers exerted themselves to create
a demand for what was formerly re-
| earded as a by-product, that Is the
sizes inferior to chestnut. Having in
| duced large number of consumers of
bituminous coal and of the larger an
thracite sizes to make alterations in
their firing appliances necessary to the
change of fuel, 1t was found that the
| cheap small coal could not be obtained
| in sufficient quantities to meet the de-
| mand.
1t is conceded that these sizes can
be obtained and delivered at moder-
ate profit by washing them out of the
oulm banks, but the companies have
declined to avail themselves of this
means to any important extent. Unless
some way shall be found to place
steam sizes of anthracite in the cas-
tern markets upon a parity of value
with bituminous, and in sufficient vol
ume to meet the demand, soft coal VIII
resume it's inroads as soon as the
strike troubles are well over"

LEX0W At MINOOKA.
Investigation of Charges Made
Against the school Board.

Against the SCnOOi bOuTu.
There was a meeting of the Lacka-
wanna township auditors last evening
in McDonough's hall to inquire into the
accounts of the school board. For some
time all sorts of rumors have been
current in the township about the al
legged extravaganza of the school direc-
tors during the year 1896 and this led to
the investigation by the auditors.
The first bill to undergo an investi-
cation was one from Mulherin & Judge,
lumber dealers, for repairs at No.
school. The bookkeeper of the firm
was present and explained the nature
of the work done. The bill was OBJ
jected to as exorbitant
\ bill for repairs at No. 8 school by
Thomas Kelly, in the sum of $1S6, was
laid over for further invest stjgation, as
the man who performed the work was
absent. Another repairing bill at No
3 vas closely questioned and also laid
over.
Patrick Higgins, an ex-director, was
sworn in regard to bill for painting
at No. 3 by Robert Driscoll. He was
subjected to a rigid cross-examination
by Mr.. Watson, but nothing amaging
was elected.
William Linn. another painter, was
next sworn. His bill was in the sum
of S127. James Mangan, one of the
auditors. alleged that Linn told him
that he only received a little over one
hundred dollars. Witness denied max
ing such a statement and informed Mr.
Watson that he did not tell Mangar
| anything of the kind.
The next sworn was John Mulherin
His evidence was very conflicting.
The investigation then adjourned
owing to lateness of the hour, unit
next Tuesday evening. NJ j. Donahot
was present to look after the interests
| of the school directors.

1T MAY BE STEIN.
He Is Said TO Be Scheduled for the
Office OF Chief OF the Bureau
Of Mines and Mining.

One of the important bills passed by
the last state legislature and signed by
the governor is the law creating the
Bureau of Mines and Mining. The bill
that passed the legislature and secured
the approval of the governor was
fathcred by Representative Mansfield,
of Beaver. 1t provides for an appoint
i've officer, to be known as the chief of
the bureau, an assistant and a messen-
ger. The salaries of the three amount
to $4,000. The law also provides that
the governor shall appoint the chief
within thirty days after the final pas
sage, so that he must make his selec-
ton within a few days.
THE position Is one of dignity and
responsibility, requiring a man of wide
experience and in faithfully carrying
out the duties he will find that the office
Is not a sinecure. There have been q
number Of men mentioned for the posi-
ton, but of them all there Is only one,
who is eminently fitted in every par
ticular for the important post" says
the Pottsville Miners Journal This
is William Stein, who Is now serving
his second term as mine inspector of
the Sixth Shenandoah district.
THE Miners Journal has it from re-
liable authority that Mr. Stein is to be
the appointee and that he has had the
support of the leading politicians of the
state. besides the influence and recon-
mendations of men of prominence. III
various walks of life. Mr.. Stein, as
chief of the bureau of mines and min
ing will have a smaller salary than
as mine inspector, but the new posi-
| ton will practically be permanent for,
| while he is appointed for four years.
| It is not likely the chief will be changed
| by any governor succeeding Governor
| Hastings except for cause. We were
| unable to reach Mr.. Stein last evening g
| and so cannot state authoritatively
| that he will accept the office, but from
| a good cource we have learned that
| the position is to be rendered him.
Inspector Stein is the father of DR..
| James Stein of this city. He was
! chairman of the commission of mine
inspectors that inquired into the cause
of the Twin shaft disaster at Pittston.

Casper Souper, 7O-year-old pauper
at the Hillside Home, blew out his
brains in the presence of his invalid
wife in the female ward of that insti-
tuition, a little before noon yesterday.
Souper and his wife have been in
mates of the home since July 19, 1892,
occupying the same room in the wo-
mems building. She is a helpless in
valid, and he is debilitated from siok-
ness and old age. Recently he had been
despondent and only last Monday was
heard to remark that he was tired of
life. and that he would kill himself
only for his wife.
Just before dinner time yesterday,
while sitting on the side OF his wife's
bed, he pulled a 32-calibre revolver
from his pocket, and placing the muz-
zle in his mouth pulled the trigger.
The bullet entered his brain, and when
the attaches of the house arrived on
the scene they found the old mans
corpse stretched across the bed, the
blood from his frightfully lacerated
mouth reddening the bed clothes and
squirting over the insensible body of
his unfortunate wife.
He was removed at once and word
sent to Coroner Longstreet. The cor
oner went there during the afternoon,
but after a short investigation decid-
ed that no inquest was necessary.
How Souper secured the revolver, or
how long he has had 1t in his possess
sion is mystery. He had the privilege
of going out when he chose. and fire.
quently when feeling better than usual
went on long walks. The last time was
six weeks ago, and it is supposed he
then secured the revolver.
Souper and his wife formerly lived
on the West Side. The wife was great
ly affected by the shock, and it is
feared serious consequences will fol-
