COAL COMPANV'S AFFAIRS.

Pennsylvania Ohio Fuel Company Like
ny soon to be keorsanizsd.
Columbus, O., December 10.-Recent
developments indicate that the Turney
& Jones company and the Pennsyl-
vania & Ohio Fuel Company will soon
be reorganized and taken out of the
receivers hands. A proposition haS
been made by Messrs. Harry C. Adams
and d. w. Heath for the Chicago bust
ness of the firm, and the same has
been accepted by the Security Tirle C
Trust Company, Of Chicago, the receiy-
ers, under authority of the court. The
Chicago business is now being ,urned
over to the new firm, including untitled
orders and uneXpired contracts. The
consideration involved is not known
here, but it is manifestly satisfactory
to the receivers and to Mr.. Jones, Of
the old firm. The new firm will be
known as the Adams Coal Company,
and assumes liabilities and collects for
sales made since the beginning of the
feveivership.

MRS. BOTKIN'S TRIAL
An Effort TO Save thu State Of Cal
ifornia Thousands of Dollars.

San Francisco, December 10.-W. L.
Harper, of this city, to-day petitioned
the Supreme Court to enjoin Superior
Judge Carroll Cook from proceeding
with the trial of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin,
accused of the murder of Mrs. John P.
Dunning, of Dover, Del. The action Of
Harper was taken to determine the
rights of the Superior Court to try the
case in view Of the fact that the SUI
preme Court refused to extradite Mrs.
Botkin. 1t has been rumored that the
defense would take some such action
in the case, after all the evidence had
been introduced and to step in and de-
clare that the court lacked jurisdiction
in the case. If the defense waited until
such a stage in the case, it would be
after the State had spent more than
$50, 900 in the case, and it is to pre-
vent this great expense that Harper
took the action that he did. The case
has already cost the State many thou
sands of dollars.

A Wild Looking Msn. Supposed to be an
Anarchist. Captured.
London, December 10.-A wretched
middle-aged, wild looking man was dis
covered at II O'Clock tonight in the
Bank of England, to which he had man
aged to gain admittance in some unex-
planned manner He offered as an eX-
cuse for his presence in the bank, the
statement that he wanted to cash a
check, and made a frantic resistance
when taken into custody.
In his pockets were found a loaded
revolver, a dozen e.yer and several
gold foreign coins and some jeweiry.
The man speaks English with a for
eign accent, and it is suspected that he
is an anarchist. When questioned he
refused to give his name or to say how
he entered the bank.
Another account says the man rang
the bell at the main entrance CT the
bank and that when the janitor opened
the door the man rushed in and drew
a revolver, which he was prevented
from using by the military guard, with
fixed bayonets, closing around him.
AT the police station he gave the name
of George Taylor. He was examined
by doctor, who ordered his removal
to the Bow infirmary.

THE WAR INVESTIGATION.


Several Witnesses Esaminsd Yesterday.
Nothing lmportAat Developed.
Washington, December 10.--Major
Valeory Harvard, chief surgeon Of the
department of Santiago, who went with
the first expeditionary force under
Gen. Shafter as chief surgeon of the
cavalry division, testified before the
war investigation commission to-day
that his medical supplies on landing
at Siboney were adequate for the need
of cavalry for perhaps fortnight, but
no longer. 1t was impossible at first
to unload any supplies, and leaving
some one in charge with instructions
to do his best to get out supplies he
hurried forward without supplies to
the front as a battle was impending.
He had made every effort to get sup
plies landed, but the difficulty was
great and he could get no boat to even
reach the transport Rio Grande for
this purpose.
At the second division hospital, the
medicine, dressing and stimulants were
sufficient, but the bedding, food, etc.
were inadequate. He admitted that
some regiments in the Santiago cam
paign were not supplied sufficiently
with medical officers. At the battle OF
Siboney, the wounded. he said. were
transferred back to the division hos
pital by improvised filters OF rope
crossed roles and the emptied ambu-
lence wagons Surgeon Harvard said
he was chief surgeon in command af-
ter July %, and that to his knowledge
no transports carrying the sick had
been sent away improperly supplied.
Going back to the difficulty in getting
at supplies he said he believed first,
the transports were not properly load
ed when sent to Cuba; second, that
there were no adequate means of UNI
loading: and third, no adequate means
of carrying supplies into the interior.
Gen. Flagler, chief of the bureau OK
ordinance, testified concerning the
condition of the coast defences at the
time war was declared, and advocated
keepine a greater supply of guns and
ammunition on hand.

PECULIAR CASE.
a Man 10 the Ohio Penitontiary for
tho Murder Of a Man Who is Alive
aud Well.

Columbus, Ohio, December 10.-As-
eistant Deputy Wells this morning
struck a peculiar case in the peniten-
tiary which raises the question as to
whether man is not doing life SEN
tence for murder that never was COM
initted. Johu Tongass was reported
for fighting and during the investiga-
tion the deputy asked him what he was
sent to the prison for, and whether he
was guilty. Tongass replied:
II was convicted for murder in the
second degree and no person knows
better than you do that | am not guilty
of the crime for which was convicted"
why, never saw you before in my
life" replied the deputy.
"That is true, but you know the boy
was convicted of killing and you
know that he is alive and well. l was
convicted for killing Albert Van Ripper,
of Kenton, and you know that he is
alive at this time"
Young Van Ripper is well known to
Deputy Wells, who asserts he is alive
and working at this time in Kenton.
He recently visited in Columbus.
Tongass was convicted on circum-
stantial evidence. A boy travelling
with him disappeared and supposedly
human bones were found in his camp
fire afterwards. He has been in the
prison since 1890.

which posters such as the late Aubrey
