Immense quantities of coal from tbe
Fairmont district are being shipped 10 the
Northwest by way of Wheeling. The cars
come over the Baltimore and Ohio from
Fairmont and Monongah, and are here
transferred TO the Cleveland. Lorain ana
Wheeling and the Wheeling and Ial.e
Erie. Most of it goes to Toledo and To-
rain, which are distributing points. These
heavy shipments have caused a boom in
business for the Wheeling Bridge and
Terminal Company, over whose tracks
more cars are being transferred than at
any time since the road was plared i'm one
ration. Last night train consisting of
fifty cars of coal was taken over the
Union bridge by two engines The toll
collector on the bridge states that the
betterment of business also embraces
general freights.
tn West Virginia coal is being sent 70
the Northwest to fill the contracts of The
Pennsylvania operators. The PENNSYLVANIA
operators are bound for a year by the
wage agreement signed in Chicago recent
ly. The wages in the Fairmont region ana
the better facilities for mining coal cheap
ly enable the Fairmont operators to put
coal in the Northwest at prices when

OF production in Pennsylvania.
Under this condition OF affairs the Penn
sylyania operators have found IL TO their
advantage to allow their mines TO remain
idle and to I'LL their contracts by pur-
chasing West Virginia coal. Most OF them
have resorted TO this means, and the re-

EFFORTS TO CHECK THE EVIL.
This, and much besides, was impaired
to me by gentleman whose word is
unimpeachable and whose intimate know
ledge of the district extends over
several years. Nor did this authority
hesitate TO tell me that he, in common
with other persons of influence. has made
repeated representations to the authori-
ties, and that. enormous as are the diff
culties that have TO be encountered, in
dependent individuals are seeking &c de-
wise some scheme whereby a determined
effort will be made to put stop to the
evil that, going on comparatively I'M
checked, has assumed such grave pro-
portions.
He was not at liberty TO divulge the
remedy it is sought 70 apply, but felt
confident that should a certain sugges-
ton be acted upon it win be possible,
eventually, to get at the root Of the mis-
chief.
THE PEOPLE TERRORIZED.
But what about the unfortunate people
who dwell in the district and have

do they remain slentg The answer
was significant as coming from a wholly
Independent quarter, and coming from

And hear with trembling the masters

As the evening shadows grow,

In the twilight long ago.
And the merry brook. as II softly purls
It's song In the summer air,
Calls UP from the past the boys and girls
At play in the meadows fair.

Many Cofored People Believe That

request is for little piece of snake

pended from the possessor's neck. is
considered TO be a sure winner of affec-
tons To supply the demand a number
of skins taken from the reptiles that
die in captivity are always kept on
hand The soft breast feathers from
the African gray parrots are saved for
other wooers, who prize them just as
highly. Keeper Manley' is called upoa
TO supply fetiches to insure success in
combat as well as in love. Several negro
prize fighters wen known in the local
ring carry little bunch of hair clipped
from the tuft on the end of the cd Hons
tail. These brsstles are thought to give
the wearer unbounded courage and
strength.
