Millwood, near Columbia, Tuesday night, has
excited warm sympathy throughout the
state and conference has already been

replacing the burned structure. The senti-
ment of regard for General Hampton is
universal throughout the state, and 1t ap-

practical shape Is not confined to Charles

in Darlington, and probably every county

American Sugar, accompanying reports that
the effort to secure an adjustment of war
has fallen through though support rallied
the stock from the lowest.
AS a whole the market presented much
more irregular appearance and, though
manipuative support by large interest is
conspicuously present, it does not compen-

heavy public buying power, nor altogether
overcome the renewed tendency of the board

on the short side of the account from time

Anthracite Coal Trade.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Prices of anthracite coal are unchang-
ed, although the operators claim there
is tirmness to the market, which, how
ever, they admit can only be maintained
by a restriction of production, as the
season for brisk demand based upon
large consumption is past. Stocks both
in New England and the West are con-
sidered small, but entirely sufficient for
present needs. The production for
March will be restricted within 5000, 900
tons, which is about the usual output
for the first month of spring.
While the reports as to the formation
of trust seem to be without foundation,
it is nevertheless apparent that the
trade interests are pulling together
more in harmony and in a manner to
benefit both the producer and the car

Some Court Decisions,

The honest creditors of Marcy town
ship have for long time been unable to
collect their debts on that township, and
over year ago Attorney Thomas d.
Shea was appointed commissioner to
ascertain the indebtness of the township
AT that time the debt was supposed to
about 5000, bnt when the claims were
all in before Mr.. Shea he had claims
amounting to 100000. After careful
investigation he found most of the
claims fraudulent, others were on judg-
ment where no judgment existed and
number of men had orders for work
done on the road which were never is
sued by the supervisors who had charge.
Mr.. Shea threw out about $4,000 worth
of these claims and refused to allow
them to be considered. The holders of
the bogus orders excepted to his report
and after an argument before Judge
Lynch he handed down his opinion last
week in which he scores the people of
the township for allowing such a state
of affairs to exist and calls upon them to
look after the matter and bring it before
the grand jury if the facts are as stated
in the commissioners report.
A case of interest to beneficial socie-
ties was decided by Judge Halsey. 1t
was that of John Dawson vs.. Division 5,
A. o. H., of Plymouth. This was an
action of exceptions to the referees re-
port. The plaintiff sued for sick bene-
fits that he had never received, and
which the society claimed it could not
pay as the sick fund had been exhaust
ed and for that reason sick benefits
were suspended on April s, 1897, after
which time the plaintiff was taken sick.
The referee decided in favor OF the So
ciety, and Judge Halsey stated that he
cannot dispute the referees findings
under the law.

The celebration of st. Patrick's Day
on Friday was carried out as planned.
The terrible condition of the streets,
which were covered with mud from end
to end, deferred many from participat-
ing, nevertheless large number trav-
ersed the route and presented good ap-
pearance. The weather overhead was
beautiful and spring-like, and had the
walking been half as good the number
in line would have been much larger.
The floats were neatly decorated and
were filled with school children repre-
senting the American states and the
counties of Ireland. Miss Bid Curran
rs the Goodness Of Liberty and Miss
Annie Dever as the Maid of Erin per-
formed their parts creditably.
Music was furnished by two bands
and four drum corps. The st. Patricks
band made its first public appearance ce
since the membership has changed and
rendered its music with credit to the
members, and st. AIMS band played its
usual enlivening selections. The Sham
rock Drum Corps, of Eckley, was not
behind in musical ability, and the men,
bers of the HiberniaH, of town, cut quite
figure with their green capes and
straw hats.

Daring Burglars in wiIkesbarre,

Burglars entered the house of James
Mckinley early Thursday morning and
secured about $l25 in gold and lot of
valuables. The family slept on the
third floor, and, fearing some one might
awaken, the burglars placed chairs at
the head of the stairs and along the
hallway, so that if anybody attempted
to pursue them they would fall over the
chairs. They also pulled down the pipe
of the kitchen stove and let the gas
escape, with the evident intention of
smothering the sleepers.

Quay. The announcement has created

appear at the Grand opera house on
Thursday evening, will introduce thirty
well-known and popular negro come
dians and musicians. They carry their

gramme rendered by them is one of a
most amusing nature. There will be
plenty of new "coon" songs introduced,
as well as the old Southern darkey
melodies. A cake walking contest
forms an important feature on the bill,
and will be more interesting on account
of permitting all local cake walkers to
enter and compete for prize of S25
which is given at each performance.
