AN IMPORTANT CONFESSION.
A New Witness in the Fountain
Murder Case.

HILLSBORO IN. ND, June 4.-Cap-
tain George Curry, former Sheriff of
Lincoln County, has arrived and dis
closed information that has been here
tOfore well guarded concerning a con-
spiracy to commit four murders, one
of them being that of Colonel Fountain.
He does not implicate Lee and Gill;
land, who are now being tried for the
murder of Colonel Fountain and his
son, but simply said IF the court will
admit my evidence, l can tell who
planned the killing, and who vainly
lay in wait for Colonel Fountain once
before he was killed.
Slick Miller, one of my former
prisoners, who was pardoned out of
the penitentiary by Governor Thorn
ton, made a confession to me which
1 have kept secret, having no occasion
to divulge it until now. There were
three men in the plot, and all had been
indicted for stealing cattle. I had
been instrumental in some of the cases,
and they agreed to put me out of the
way, too James H Cree, one of the
V. V. Cattle Company, a large Scotch
syndicate, was to be killed 1 told him
quietly what 1 knew, and he, fearing
he would yet be murdered, returned to
Scotland, and is waiting until this af-
fair is settled w. B. Mcdonald of the
Carrie Cattle Company, another who
was active in prosecuting the cattle
thieves, was to be murdered, and also
Colonel Fountain, who was then at
torney for the Southeastern New Mex
leo Cattle Company. Miller was con-
victed of cattle stealing, and the other
two conspirators carried out but part
of their agreement"
Curry said that Miller told him that
the bodies of Colonel Fountain and his
son are buried in white sands, near
the Sacramento Mountains. A thor
ough search of these sands may dis
close the bodies, but it is feared that
the drifting nature of the soil has
buried them too deep.
Curry held a conference with the at
torneys for the defense, and the indi-
cations are they will use him as a
witness.

During the Pas. Fifteen Years Is
Shown.
Tables Prepared by the Treasury
Bureau of StatisI:cs-United
Kingdom the Largest Coal Pro-
Queer, But the United States Is
a Close Second and if Present
Rate Of Gain Continues, Will
BE First.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The coal
production and consumption of the
world during the past fifteen years are
presented in some tables just prepared
by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics
These show that while the United King
dom is still the largest coal producer of
the world, the United States is a close
second, and if the present rate of gain
is continued. will soon become the Lead
ing coal producing country of the world.
The coal production OF the United King
dom in 1897 was POP, 000,OO0 tons; that
of the United States 179,O00.OOO tons:
Germany 81 100000 tons; France 30
100000. The United States has gained
much more rapidly during the fifteen
years under consideration than has the
United Kingdom or any of the import
ant coal producing countries of the
world, her gain during the fifteen years
being over IS per cent and that of the
United Kingdom less than . per cent.
The announcement just made by the
geological survey that the coal product
of the United States in 1898 was 219,-
$500 short tons against DE, 2SI 900
for Great Britain Shove that the United
States viii SOON become the leading coal
producing nation of the world.
As an exporter of coal, however, the
United States takes low rank in pro-
portion to it's production, and stands
fourth in the list of coal exporting
countries. In 1897 the expectations of
coal from the United Kingdom were
4S,O00,000 tons, from Germany 12,000-
900, from Belgium over 100000 and
from the United States little less than
100000. In 1898 the quantity was
slightly above 100000. Australia
comes next to the United States as a
coal exporting country. her exports
amounting to nearly 100000 tons.
While France exported about 10000
tons, Japan 100000 tons and Canada
about 1,250,000 tons in 1897
France is the largest coal importing
country, her importations in 1897 being
| nearly 100000 tons, while Germany
imported 100000 tons. Austria Hun-
gary $500 GOO tons. Italy 4.o30 000 tons.
Canada nearly 100000 tons, Belgium
nearly 100000 tons, Russia 25o0,O U0
tons. Sweden over 2.250.00O tons, the
United States nearly 100000 tons and
Australia 1,000,00O tons
According to these figures, which are
summarized from a report of the coal
reproduction of the principal countries
VI TIE Woilu, JUST hSSueu ny tHe bFltlSn
Government, the United States now
produces about 30 per cent of the coal
of the world, the coal production of the
fourteen countries enumerated in the
tables being in 1897 566 100000 tons. of
which the United States produced 49,
10000 tons, while in 1893 she produced
but 81 per cent. of the total coal product
of the countries enumerated; the 1898
figures make an even more satisfactory
showing for the United States.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Dealings Again Heavy In the Pork
Pit In Chicago.

6lt III CnlcdSO.
Chicago Dec. 16.-The activity of pro-
visions was the feature on the board to-
day. The pit crowd was large and. with
few exceptions. those who composed it
were sellers for profit, an operation with
which they fattened their purses ami
matedly throughout the session. to the
detriment of the price. The liquidation
was set going by a financial report. Fluc-
tuations were wide, particularly in pork.
The shipping demand was as good as
ever, the hog supply small and prices at
the yard firm. Brokers were free sellers
of May lard and holders let out lines of
May pork and ribs. At the decline the
investment demand asserted itself, steady
ing the market for a time. May pork,
having dropped zoe, regained half the loss
under yesterday at 5000 May lard 12lac
down at s5.65. and May ribs 71eql0c lower
at S5.5O45.521s-
Wheat was weak the greater part of the
session, because the trade thought the
government report bearish. The Boston
financial Generalization also had de-
pressing effect. The pit was quiet, after
the usual Saturday manner. The South
African news was variouSly regarded and
the export demand early not pressing.
Receipts as usual were light. May
opened ssG1ec down at 6Sd691sc. and sold
down to 6S5sc- Here the market received
some support from buying against puts
under which the price had sumped. and
held steadily. The foreigners. who were
Inc principal buyers througn 0ut, towards
the close made their influence felt. and
as their moves were believed to reflect
bullish deductions from the tangled South
African situation. the locals raised their
bids bit and shorts did some covering.
The shipping demand also improved late
in the session. May advanced to 69Ssc at
which the option closed &c under yester-
day. with the tone of the market rather
firm.
