THE PASSING OF MURPHY.

The appearance of the city of Troy
in the republican column for the first
time in its history, is a pleasant indi-
cation of the waning power of ex-Sena-
tor Murphy. Time was when Dave
Hills co-worker boosted that he hello
the vote of Troy, his native city, in his
vest pocket. IT could elect China
man mayor of Troy, if I wanted" Mr.
Murphy was wont to aver It begins
to look as if the Chinese vote was all

SOFT COAL PRODUCTION.
Statistics of the Georges Crec.s an
Cumberland Regions.

Cumberland, Nd, April 20.-Last week
91,644.S4 tons of coal were shipped by
rail and 3.0l6.16 tons by canal from the
Georges Creek Cumberland region. The
shipments were 43ST tons in excess of the
same week of the previous year. and for
the year inclusive of the week reached L.
Sl,9i9.6S tons, or 40, ,703.94 tons in excess
of the same period of 1898. The total
shipments by Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
are II, ,306.19 tons, or 5,233.91 tons less than
the record for the corresponding period last
year.
tons were delivered to the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad and local points. an increase
of 81. .459.l1 tons, and 33S. 500. 16 tons TO the
pennsylvania, an increase of 14,47I.14 tons.
The shipments from both the Cumber-
land and West Virginia Central regions
are SO far nearly 100000 tons in excess
of last year to April 10.
Operators report that Cumberland coal
has had decidedly the preference over
other Goals during the first quarter of 1899
and is likely to keep on growing. 1t finds
most ready market everywhere. Freight
II is stated, will rule higher this year
than last, about 80 cents ton as an
average. for vessels and barges are few
and other lines of trade more attractive.
II ID ludl west pTOuut-
ers have been making unreasonable cuts
in prices in order TO gain patronage. The
demand for coal is heavy along Long
Island Sound, where the manufacturers
are very busy. Western Pennsylvania
operators claim to have all they can do,
despite West Virginia coal has been sup
planting their product at some points.
The Berwind- White Company in March
supplied 100000 tons from its different
mines, the largest output ever made in a
month Much of this coal went over the
Baltimore and Ohio.
Coke shipments on the Baltimore and
Ohio are very heavy at present, and the
prospect is that there will be a large
increase in the near future.
There is a strong probability that the
mines at Harding. w. Va, on the Belling-
ton extension, will soon be reopened. The
Davis Coal and Coke Company has pur-
chased all the land in the immediate vicin-
ity.

THE TRIAL OF MRS. GEORGE.
The Defence Asks for an Order for
Mrs Hnrber's Deposition.

Canton, Ohio. April 2O.-Counsel for Mrs
George today demanded that the State ac-
knowledge that letters between Mrs. George
and Saxton in his possession at the time
of his DEATH and other papers, which Mrs.
NJ. C. Barber sister OF Saxton and admin
istratrix of his estate, have been summon
ed to produce in court, had been destroyed
or that Mrs. Barber appear in court. Mrs.
Barber is not in good health and not able
to appear. The State announced that they
had no knowledge CT the letters and papers
and could net make the admission. Had
the acknowledgment been made the defense
would have produced the letters and papers
in substance from such matter as they
had IN their possession. bailiff was sent
| to ask Mrs. Barber to appear, but instead
a PHYSICIANS certificate was sent to the
effect that she was unable to appear in
court. The defense then asked for an order
| to take her deposition. The court ordered
| that an application for deposition be filed
with an affidavit of expected testimony.
and if it were competent the deposition
might be taken.
| Mrs. Lizzie Miller was the star witness
today. She testified that about $50 o'clock
| on the evening of Saxton's death she saw
a form approaching her home in Linden
| Avenue, along one of the routes from the
| Althouse residence to the city. The form
| looked like a woman with a black dress.
| AS It came nearer she discovered that it
was a man wearing a long black mackin-
| tosh with a cape and also a white sailor
| hat with a dark band. She could not tell
| who it was but was positive 1t was man.
In cross-examination she said she had no.
ticed this man particularly on account
of his walking SO fast, and he was recalled
to her the next morning when she had a
| strange impression on reading in the
papers CT Saxton's death in Lincoln Ave-
nue. west of her house. She said the night
was dark and drizzling. but that she saw
him nearly 100 feet away and again when
he passed the next gasoline lamp. still
further away. She saw the movements OF
his body and saw his arm swinging under
the cape, and she also saw him turn
around facing her
During the morning Prosecuting Attor-
ney Pomerene interrupted the examination
of a witness and announced to the court
| that Mrs. George was constantly looking
at the witness on the stand and he at her
! and that she was also shaking her head
toward him. He further claimed that his
attention was called to the fact that the
same proceedings had occurred during the
examination of witnesses yesterday, and
asked that such conduct be corrected.
Mr. Welty Indignantly protested against
| the statement, and the court ruled that
| the statement should be stricken from the
| record

DIPLOMACY INSTEAD OF WAR.

The fact that representatives OF Aguin-
aldo have asked for armistice in order
that terms for peace may be arranged can
but be accepted as evidence that he and
his associates have come TO the conclusion
that they cannot successfully resist the
army which has been opposed to him. They
are tired of the war because they have at
last come to the conclusion that nothing
but defeat awaits them, and now they re-
sort to diplomacy OF course, General Otis
could make no terms other than those
which are within the scope of a military
commander He could receive the surren-
der OF Aguinaldo's army. but further than
that he cannot go. For terms beyond sur
render he must receive instructions from
the President. 1t is not probable that the
asked-for suspension of hostilities for the
cause assigned by Aguinaldo will be grant
ed, because his government cannot be rec
ognized. Consequently, all that will come
out OF this asking for terms of peace is the
real assurance that the enemy has had
enough of war. With the expressed desire
for terms Of peace comes the report that
dissension prevails among the leaders.
which, with the exhibition of the liability
OF the army of Aguinaldo to fight, would
seem to make his cause hopeless.
AS for the Filipino Congress. it is on pa
per. Its members were selected by the lead
ers, and only sixty of the three hundred
have taken the oath of allegiance. There is
not the least probability that the President
will listen to the proposition of Aguinado,
but will resume hostlities at once as the
quickest and surest road to permanent
peace. But the asking for suspension of
hostilities proves that Aguinaldo has no
plomacy, which, with him, means duplicity.

Col. MOuItOn's Mess Revolt Against
Being Held Up ut Cedar Lake.

CHICAGO April 2S-Under decidedly un-
usual circumstances the Second Infantry is
expected to arrive home in Chicago from
Cuba at an early hour tomorrow morning
1t was the wish of Colonel Moulton, the
commanding officer, that the regiment
should arrive in Chicago at an hour that
would permit of parade through the
streets
The various sections Of the train bearing
the regiment became separated. and when
the two first sections had arrived at Cedar
Lake, Ind, about two hours ride from Chi
cago, the two rear sections were six hours
late. Colonel Moulton thereupon ordered
the two leading sections sidetracked to
await the arrival of those which were be-
hind time and all of them TO remain at
Cedar Lake until morning. This action
reused great feeling among the men. who
were anxious to reach home
Major William Duzenberry declared that
the colonel had no right to order the trains
sidetracked, as each soldier had paid for his
individual ticket. calling for through trans
portation. He openly defied the colonel and
sent messages TO the railroad officials de-
manding that the trains be moved at once.
He was backed up by the men, who were
becoming ugly at the prospect of standing
on a sidetrack all night. General Passenger
Agent Reed. of the Monon on which line
the troops were coming, finally decided il
would be "expedient to leave" and the
trains were ordered ahead all the sections
having arrived. The regiment will arrive
about a. m, and. as many of the men have
declared they will not parade under any
circumstances. the event is off.
