BIG COAL SALE.
y. V. Thompson and Others Sell to the
Continental Coke Co.

The biggest coal sale ever record
ed in Fayette county was consum
mated in Pittsburg, when }. ".
Thompson, president of the First
National Bank of Uniontown, and
Others, sold 1T acres of coking coal
i'm the borough of Uniontown, and
adjoining townships, to the Cont
mental Coke Co, at the sum OF vi,
100 an acre, says the Genius Of Lib
erty. The coal with some surface
attached aggregates the neat sum OF
100000. Considering the number
of acres there has rever been such a
sale of coal in the coke regions of
Fayette county. 1t shows at glance
the valve of coal that can be used in
the manufacture Of coke
Other recent sales in the vicinity
of Uniontown make a total oil about
100000 that has been paid for
coal lands. 1t shows the mineral
wealth of Fayette county can hardly
be estimated and that the wealth of
the county is just inviting the in.

fell to the floor Of the ring with
his head hanging over the low

counted ten seconds, after which

had expired, rushed at him once
more, this time swinging his right

Mccoy falling again. Then Nc
Coy seemed to be ina helpless

Mccoy struggled to his feet and
staggered to his corner, where his

Life insurance An Asset.
important Ruling is Made
by Judge Shiras.
Dubuque, Ia, Jan lO.-In the
federal court today Judge Shiras
rendered decision of the great
est Importance to bankrupts car
rying life insurance, when he de-
cided that the life insurance of q
voluntary bankrupt becomes an
asset. Hugo Lange, a bankrupt,
held his policy was exempt, and
Referee Webster decided in his
favor. An appeal was taken, the
question being, lis an endowment
policy on the life of a voluntary
bankrupt exempt from classified
ton as assets?" Judge Shiras
considered the question of SO
much importance that he filed q
written opinion holding q policy
is not exempt and that sum
equal to it's cash value must be
turned over to the trustee within
thirty days or the policy becomes
listed as an asset.

Sailor Tom is the Winner

Sailor Tom is the Winner.
New York, Jan. l0.-Tom Shar-
key, the American sailor, stands az
the only heavy weight in line for
championship honors and title
now held by Bob Fitzsimmons.
He whipped Kid Mccoy good and
hard in the tenth round of what
was to have been a twenty-round
battle and by doing so the Irish
American pugilist forged his way
so positively and undeniably to
the front rank that Fitzsimmons
must now consider the sailor.pug-
lists claim without delay.
Sharkey tonight was revela.
tion to those who saw him couple
of years ago. His ring work and
generalship are so vastly superior
to his exhibitions when he frs,
came to the east as a fighter that
the improvements almost incred-
ible. Great punches of muscle,
with unlimited confidence and 9
cool head, are the qualifications
which have enabled Sharkey to
to fight his way through to the
front rank of heavy weight pugi'
lists, and not one, not even Nc.
Coy, who suffered defeat at hif
hands, tonight denies the full
measure of praise that is due to
the Irishman.
McCoy's marvellous footworl
and that long left jab with which
he h as put 80 many of his oppon.
ents to sleep are two factors in hit
makeup that must always appeal
to lovers of the fistic art. He use6
every artifce known to the adj
vanced school Of pugilism in hi
contest tonight, and his defea,
must not be attributed to any lacl
of close study on his part of every
trick in the boxing game. Many
of his friends feel tonight that he
ought to have gone up against
smaller game than Sharkey.
When Mccoy sent Shalkey
twice to the floor in the third
round tonight no one doubted the
Kids ability to hit hard, and
many thought he had Sharkey a
his mercy. This idea was soor
dispelled when the Irishman be-
gan to get to his man.

ring. After the preliminary
bouts had been decided the bet
