FIRE AT YoUNTVILLE.
Incendiary Continues His Persecu
 tion of Woman.

NAPA. April H.-The fourteen-room house belonging to Mrs. Bryant was de stroyed by fire at Yountville at o'clock this morning. The fire was probably in. cendiary, as an attempt to burn the same dwelling was made few days ago but without success.
 Mrs. Bryant was away from home at the time the fire occurred, and nothing was saved.
 Less than two months ago a house be- longing to Mrs. Bryant was burned on her ranch near Yountville.
 The supposition is that some person having a grudge against the lady is re sponsible for the conflagrations.
 The dwelling was one of the old land marks of the village of Yountville and was worth several thousand dollars and was protected by 5000 insurance.

road for Delivery At sanduSlEy
PITTSBURGH, Pa. Nov. q. = The
Dispatch tomorrow Will say st has re-
liable authority for stating that the
Great Northern Railroad Company has
placed orders with West Virginia coal
operators for 100000 tons of coal, at
81 25, delivered at sandusky, the deliv-
cry to extend throughout 1899.
James W. Hill, OF the Great North
ern, in reply to a telegram, says: This
company does not publish its purchases
of coal or other material"
1t is generally believed here that the
contracts have been made, and the fact
is viewed with apprehension by the
Pittsburgh operators, as 1t is evidence
that West Virginia Is usurpIng the
trade hitherto held by Pittsburgh by
giving a rate materially lower than the
local operators can. In fact, offers have
been made by West Virginia mine own
ers to Pittsburgh operators to furnish
all the coal wanted for 81 20. delivered
at sandusky. This is made possible by
a lower mining rate and better freight
rates. The net cost to Pittsburgh OPP
orator, under present conditions, for de-
livery at sanduclsy is 81 S311s.

A strange feature is that Damocrats

Another suspicious thing is that gainS
