CREDITORS FOUND EMPTY BOXES

Media, Sept. 1.-Two strangers who
came to Media two months ago and
rented a store on State street and
stocked it with clothing, furnishing
goods and fancy articles, succeeded in
victimizing a number of New York
merchants for various sums, aggregat-
ing $4,000. One months rent was paid
in advance, but the store was never
opened for business. For two or three
weeks the two men worked inside, be-
hind drawn curtains and tightly closed
doors. The store has been quiet and
closed for nearly a month past, and
when an examination was made to-day
by one of the creditors, Fine & Co, it
contained nothing but a lot of empty
packing boxes. There is not the slight
est clue as to the whereabouts of the
men or merchandise. One of them,
the man who did the purchasing, gave
the name of Moses Chuskey. A war
rant has been issued for his arrest.

CLEVER CAPTURE BY OFFICER

CLEVER CAPTURE BY OFFICER
JOHN WELSH AT EIGHTH AND
MARKET STREETS TO-DAY.
John Edward Hinson, alias Winder,
an alleged harness thief, was arrested
at Eighth and Market streets by Of
fcer John Welsh at u o'clock to-day
and locked up in the police station.
The theft took place on August 81,
when a set of lead harness was stolen
from Francis Vincent of No. IL West
Twenty-third street. The police force
has been the recipient of criticism from
certain source because Winder was
not arrested before, but the capture OF
the man to-day shows the censure un-
just.
Police Captain Kane this morning,
learning Winder had been seen in the
city, detailed Officer John Welsh in
citizens clothes to run the man down
and in a few hours after the officer was
assigned the duty, he had the man in
custody. Officer Welshs capture was
a clever one, and showed good head
work on his part Winder will be
given a hearing tomorrow morning.
The harness was recovered on Friday
last.

It is announced that about 500 shares
Of the stock Of the East Side Republi-
can Club have been disposed Of. This
rapid sale looks suspicious 1t smacks
Of Addicksism. For some time the
Union Republican managers have had
their eyes on this Regular Republican
organization. and. as soon as it was
made stock concern, they saw their
opportunity, for they are skilled in the
manipulation Of stock concerns. We
think 1t would be prudent for the Reg
uiars TO appoint committee to super
intend the selling Of this stock, else j
Edward Addicks may slip in, secure q
controlling interest and elect new
board of directors.

COAL PRODUCT AND ExToRTIoN

COAL PRODUCT AND EATORTlON.
a. w. Parker, statistician Of the Di-
vision of Mineral Resources Of the
United States Geological Survey. has
completed his report on the production
of coal in the United States in 1898. It
makes a very interesting and valuable
volume Of 217 pages. Full details are
given Of the coal industry in each state
and territory, embracing both produc-
tion and prices in the last few years,
1898 included The production OF coal
by foreign countries in 1898 and pre-
ceding years is also a prominent fea-
ture.
The total production Of coal in the
United States in 1898 was 196, ,4O5, ,952
gross tons. the value Of which at the
mines was s20s.oOO,S $50. The produc-
ton in 1897 was 17S.76s, ,s44 gross tons
The increase in 1898 was, therefore, IL
636. .6O9 tons, or almost 10 per cent. The
increase in 1898 was almost wholly in
bituminous coal amounting tC
l6,sis,24s gross tons, the total bitumi
nous production amounting to 14S,
742,S7S gross tons, against 131, ,794 ,63I
gross tons in 1897. The production o
Pennsylvania anthracite in 1898 wal
476sS.o75 gross tons against 46,974,71'
gross tons in 1897.
And in spite Of all this. the marke
is so manipulated that our people ar
compelled to pay nearly Sc a ton 70
their fuel. There is something radical
ly wrong with a system which permit
such extortion.
