ROBBED OF HIS REASON
John Monaghan a Second Victim c
Blind Murderer's Rage.

John Monaghan a secoud Victim OF
Blind Murderer's Rage.
Uniontown, Pa, June 19.--Wild, raw
ing mad, behind the bars In cell in
the insane department at the Fayette
county almshouse, John Monaghan sits,
disappearing his maker one minute,
praying to him the next, now telling
of some imaginary blood curdling
crime he did, again whispering how he
will kill some one Of his friends,
shrieking, laughing, violent and pa
thetic, preaching and singing as tho
mood takes him, wrenching the bars
to get out, his brain shattered by the
awful crime that ended the life Of his
wife, Minerva Monaghan, Friday night,
another victim to the rage and ven
geance OF the blind murderer, William
G. Mccormick.
Monaghan has been living with his
daughter, Mrs. Louis @. Coldren, at
Johnstown, since his wife, Minerva,
secured a divorce from him three
years ago, and came with his chill
dren to attend the funeral Of his MUIR
dered wife. A day or two after his
arrival his children noticed him acting
a little queer. On Friday he became
| so violent that he had to be taken In
charge, and was committed to theinsane
department. Monaghan has shown
slight signs of insanity at long inter
walls during the past ten years, but
never before became violent. 1t is
evident that his wife's tragic death
unsettled his mind His rawlings are
| about the people he has killed during
many years, some of them back In
! childhood.

BRISK TRADE.
The Future is Bright for a Brisk Coal
Trade Next Fan,


Trade Next Fan.
Despite the fact that many prominent
coal operators have made prophesies for a
very dull summer it begins to look as though
this would prove the best season in several
years past, as the demand for anthracite at
eastern and lake points is growing stronger
each week. There is every indication for a
strong demand for anthracite next fall.
This will mean that the collieries will be
worked ON good time all summer, as the
dealers will naturally lay in a supply to save
on the price which will naturally be ad-
vanced as cold weather sets in.
That the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company expect big increase in
sales for the balance of the year is con.
clusively proven by the fact that extensive
repairs arc being made at several of the col
lieries and new breakers are being erected all
along the line from Shamokin to Tamaqua
For the past several months many practica
coal workers have left the anthracite region
! for new and more profitable fields of labor
while business men becoming disheartened
have also pulled up stakes and located else
where.
1t is earnestly hoped that the tide of pros
perity has at last turned and the mint
workers will have all the work they want.
Two hundred coal workers are needed il
the Jeddo mines. These mines are drained
| by the famous Jeddo tunnel 1t is the in
tention of the operators to remove all Goa
between Jeddo and Ebervale clean to tn
basin.
At Pond Creek there is a similar demant
for labor. The company has q contract t
strip ten acres of coal lands.
The Cross Creek Coal Company is prepar
ing for an enormous output, while the lie
high and Wilkesbarre Coal Company has be
gun another immense stripping at thei
Honey brook colliery.
