Sentenced to Reform School.

Harry jackson, or Harry Tucker as he
is called. colored boy fourteen years old.
was before Judge Kimball today on a
charge of vagrancy. He had been arrested
because the police wanted to get him off
the streets, and when Judge kimball saw
him he recognized him as an Alexandria
boy who had been in court on a previous
occasion.
He was then turned over to the board
of childrens guardians" the court was
told. He ran away, and Mr.. Douglass did
not care TO TAXI him back. but thought it
best that the court should dispose of the
case"
Mr.. Douglass presented to the court
letter he had received from Chief Webster
of the Alexandria police force about the
boy. which reads:
The boy you mention as Harry" Tucker
Is Harry jackson. He has a father and
mother residing in this city, and is a very
bad, wicked boy. He some time ago had
his father arrested on the charge of muir
dering his little brother, but there was no
truth in the charge. think it would be
wei to get him in the reform school until
ne becomes of age. He is noted as a thief
in this town"
Why don't you stay at homer the court
asked.
Because my father don't feed me and
ne won't give me any Clothes" the boy
answered
1t was explained by Mr.. Douglass that
there is a reformatory school in Virginia
but Judge Kimball said he had no authori-
ty over the Virginia institution.
The court ordered a charge of incorri-
gibiity to be filed and sentenced the hey
to the reform school.

they were unable to cope with the cham
pienship form of the home team. the Car
rolls winning all of the three games rolled.
The result OF the games brings the CAROLS
up yet closer to the Saengerbunds. who
are now leading the league and the race
for the pennant promises to be an inter-
esting contest between these two teams.
The Washingtons bowled in very poor
form in last nights games, their highest
game being below the lowest score of the
CAROLS. and their highest single score be-
ing 154. by Kidd. in the opening game Rice
continued his steady work for the Insti-
tute five. having the strong average of III.

gle game. having string of 1914 in the
second event
The early stages of the opening game
were rather interesting. the score being
close till the sixth inning, when the Car

Washingtons by So pins in the seventh.
This lead was increased slightly before the
end of the game, though neither side made

ACTIVITY IN COAL REGION.
Prospect of Heavy Output in Cumber-
land District.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
CUMBERLAND. Md. February H. 1898.
unprecedented activity exists through
out the Maryland coal region and the adj
joining fields of West Virginia. as well.
The shipments from the Cumberland fields
for 1897 exceeded the previous year by over
100000 tons, but 1898 gives every indica-
ton CT beating the record. The ConSolida-
tion Coal Company recently made an OPEN
ing seven miles south of Frostburg, from
which 1850 tons are being shipped daily.
A new town, named Lord, for President e.
K Lord of the company, has been estab-
lished at the mine, and over fifty houses
have gone up in a few months.
A new coal firm. of which William H.
German of Baltimore, brother of Senator
German, is principal owner, has made sew
eral openings near Westernport, this coun-
ty and will commence shipping in a few
days. A dump house and inclined plane
have been erected.
The Georges Creek Coal and Iron Com
pany. the second largest producer in the
region. Is making openings on Laurel and
Mill runs, along Georges creek. This COM
pany few days ago captured big govern
ment contracts.
Montgomery & Co. are reopening the old
Kelly mine. near Westernport, which has
been idle for several years. and expect TO
be shipping coal in day or two.
The Barton Mining Company is opening
a new four-foot vein near the old Swanton
mine. adjoining Barton. and A. B. Shaw
of Barton is arranging to open a valuable
deposit of coal on his tract adjoining the
Jackson mine of the Caledonia Coal Com
pany.
The Chesapeake and Ohio canal Is being
repaired and placed in readiness for busy
season. Already williamsport and George
town shippers are receiving orders for coal,
which will go to them from Cumberland
by canal. Canal trade was dull last sea-
son. owing to a scarcity OF barges at the
various ports. but shippers say this sea-
son will be one of the liveliest in a decade.
The West Virginia central region. oper-
ated mainly by companies controlled by ex-
Senator Henry G. Davis, Senator Stephen
b. Elkins, Senator A. p. German, Richard
C. Kerens and Col. Thomas B. Davis Is
undergoing marvellous development. Not
outstanding having recently added several
hundred new coke ovens, and having leased

Wis Coal and Coke Company cannot fill the
demand for coke. which goes largely to the

happy womanhood and wlfehood.
Weak, bilious, dyspeptic women ara
robbed of their natural attractiveness and
capacity. They lose healthy color and
energy and ambition. The blood becomes
poor and thin and laden with disease germs.
The true antidote for this condition is DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t acts
directly upon the digestive powers and the
liver, creating pure, red, healthy blood free
from bilious impurities; it renovates every
organ and tissue of the body, building up
hard, elastic flesh and muscular strength
and imparting nerve power and permanent
vitality, which malt extracts do not give.
