COAL COMPANIES FAIL
As a Result of the Miners Strike Last
Summer.

Cincinnati, Nov. 15.-The Turney &
Jones Coal company of Columbus, o.,
and the Pennsylvania & Ohio Fuel COM
pany of St. Paul, both owned by the
same parties with offices in Chicago have
been put into the hands of the Security
& TitIe company of Chicago, as re-
ceivers, by the United States court
Liabilities 81, 100000.
These companies are among the
largest that operate in the Ohio coal
fields and furnish about one-half of the
coal tonnage of the Columbus, Sandusky
& Hooking railway. The railway COM
pany holds claims against the two min
ing companies aggregating $95,000 ana
Samuel NJ. Feltnan, receiver for the
railway company, was among the petit
tioners for the receivership. The coal
companies troubles began with the
great coal miners strike last summer
which caused them to lose over $500, 900
and their affairs came to a crisis when
New York parties declared due the
whole of an issue of $2SO,O0O of. obliga-
tions after failure to pay one of the in
stallments. 1t is claimed that by care

PURE BEER
viii Have to Be Furnished by Brew
ers Because They Opposed
eTeddy's' Election.

New York, Nov. 1--we are going
to have pure beer now,' said Senator
Thos. c. Platt, at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, today. 'It may cost a trife
more, but it will be pure
With almost no exception the brewers
and saloon keepers of the state were in
favor of Judge Augustus Van Wyck
and the Democratic ticket, and did
everything in their power to bring about
their election. AS a consequence the
Republicans, it would seem, intend to
take steps which the brewers in par
ticular view with alarm.
The retribution to which they are like
ly to be subjected will be in the form of
a bill at Albany during the coming win
ter, which will not only place a heavy
revenue tax on the brewers, amounting
to perhaps So, 900 or 81, 900 each, but will
also provide for a standard of purity
for beer, and making those brewers
whose product falls below the mark
subject to heavy fines. There is little
doubt that the proposed measure will
pass the next legislature, and it will
doubtless be among the first to be intro
duced after the legislature convenes.

REVOLUTION NO I
Has Broken Out in the New
Central American Republic.

New York. Nov. ia cable dispatch
received in this city from Libertad.
Nicaragua, states that a revolution has
broken out in Salvador.
1t is only fortnight since Salvador,
Honduras and Nicaragua Joined their
destinies and formed the United States
of Central America. Merchants and
commercial men in this city who are
familiar with affairs in Central Amer
lea, however, were not surprised when
informed that revolution in Salvador
was reported to have broken out. While
the federation of the three countries
was approved and carried out by the
presidents and commissioners appointed
from each country to draw up a consti-
tuition, the people of Salvador have not
been enthusiastic over the new scheme,
particularly as it appears that the fin
ancial burdens of maintaining the new
state will fall most heavily upon them,
owing to their having a denser popula-
tlon than either of the other parties to
the consolidation
Mr.. Charles w. Wells of Brown and
Wells, who, besides conducting the fin
ancial affairs of San Domingo, are in
terested in a Honduras syndicate, which
is engaged under a concession from
Honduras in building a railroad from
the Gulf to the Pacific, says that while
the new federation would be of decid-
ed advantage to Nicara qua, and Hon
duras, there is a question as to it's val
ne to Salvador.
Inc reported uprising at 11DerCaQ,
he said, ''is probably for the purpose of
upsetting the consolidation before it is
really in working order. Our agent in
Honduras, who was here recently, in
formed us that a revolution in Salvador
was expected as a result of the con-
sQJidation. We have, however, had no
advices that trouble had actually been
begun
N. Bolet Peraza, consul general in
this city for the Greater Republic of
Central America, which was formed
some time ago by Salvador, Honduras
and Nicaragua, for consular and diplo-
matte purposes, says that he had re-
ceived no report of a revolution in Sal
vador-
Il do not think that there can be any
serious uprising or I should have been
notified" the consul general added.
1.-The officers of the new government
have not yet been elected, and I do
not see why the people of Salvador
should start revolution before the new
plan is given a trial. believe it will
prove to be a local disturbance and cas-
lily put down.

at-Home Vote.

Congressman w. D Vincent, of the
Fifth district. in speaking of the result
in his district today said:
''I do not think there was any change
of sentiment to speak of in my district.
The result was brought about by the
stay-at-home vote. I have been able
to discover hardly anyone who voted
for me two years ago who did not vote
for me again this year. if they voted at
all. Here and there some one has gone
back to the Republicans, but we have
gained just as many from them.
1.-THE defeat should result in our peO-
pie doing some hard work in two years
from now, and we should win back all
that we have lost I do not know
whether I shall be a candidate in two
years or not. That is too far ahead"

AN ELECTION ERROR.
A Precinct Thrown Out in Franklin
County on Account of Carelessness.

a Prec1ucG thrown Out IN Erank4ln
County on Account of Carelessness.
In Ottawa township, Franklin county,
the judges and clerks of the election
went off from the polling place after the
votes had been counted and left the
poll books, ballots and abstract of the
votes lying on the table.
When the canvassing board of Frank
lin county went to make the official
count on Friday, they discovered that
the returns from Ottawa township were
missing. Two of the members of the
board rode out and called on the judges
and clerks on Saturday, but each one
disclaimed any knowledge of the miss
ing poll books. At length they went to
the voting place and there found the
missing books. 1t is claimed that this
will throw that precinct out and may
change the result of the election on
some of the county officers.
1t is also claimed that there was a
mistake of p votes made in counting
the ballots in one of the wards in the
city of Ottawa, which would result in
the election of the Populist probate
Judge by II majority.

admitted that no innovation should be
introduced in the Dreyfus proceedings.
Questions will now be drafted and

FUNNY Result of a Gerrvnander.

At the last session of the legislature
Marshall county, which is counted as
a sure Republican county, was divided
into two legislative districts. The
county was gerrymandered in such a
manner that the Populists thought
they could elect one representative by
$50 majority, while the other district
was Republican by 300 majority. The
division threw the present representa-
tive, r. B. Moore, into the Populist dis
trict. When the votes were counted
1t was found that Moore, a Republican,
had been reelected in the Populist dis
trict, while M. M. Haskins a Populist,
was elected in the Republican district.

and which was lately once more affirmed
by a treaty of alliance, will now be still
further strengthened The sincere friend
ship and community of interests between
the two states will conduce to the pros
perity of both, nations request you to
communicate these words by telegraph to
his imperial Majesty, together with my

secure the removal of w. f. Harrity, of
Pennsylvania, from the position of member

ton. The movement is the result of the
action of the Democratic convention of the
State of Pennsylvania and Of the executive
committee of the Democratic committee of
that State, in which Mr. Harrity's removal
was urged On the ground that he is not in
harmony with the Democratic party of the
United States. and Mr.. Guffey was recon-
mended as his successor. The information
regarding this action was forwarded TO Sem
ator Jones by State Chairman Garman and
Mr.. Jones was requested to take he matter
up. The latter forwarded Mr.. Garman's
letter to Mr.. Harrity, and he received from
him a reply In which he asserted that the
charges on which his removal is sought are
unfounded and defends his record as Il Dem
