To stop Mining Coal.

A New York dispatch of the Sth says:
In the Wholesale coal trade today it was
announced that the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road company. after October /, would
cease to mine its own coal, and would let
the contract to the lowest bidder. This
step has been in contemplation for some
time. The Santa Fe road adopted this
policy some time ago. Among other roads
that are said to be likely to adopt the
same policy are the Colorado Southern and
the Burlington.

Exoruerated wreck story.

A sensational item was sent out from
Hearne Tuesday stating that the north
bound Houston and Texas Central passen
ger train had been wrecked, that the pas
sengers had been badly shaken w and
that the track was torn up for distance
of 100 yards. The fact OF the matter is
that two wheels of the rear truck of the
tender left the rail while the train was
moving slowly. The passengers never felt
any jolt and the train reached Hearne just
eight minutes late.

DESERTED VILLAGE SOLD.
II Was Built In MiddIesex County
N. j., by German Pow
der Corporation,

Middlesex county's deserted village
has been sold at auction, and soon
nothing will be left of the place except
tradition II was deserted village
that had never been inhabited, centered
upon the big powder factory erected
by the neutrality-suspicious. Explosives
company, Of Cologne, Germany The
company, about two years ago, decided
TO enter the American markets, manu-
featuring on magnificent scale, In a
factory built exclusively for the Amer
lean trade and located in this country
so the goods might be sold without tar
i'll handicap.
A tract of woodland in an isolated
section Of MiddleseX county, between
Spotswood and Halmetta, was selected
The company's American agents evil
IDENTIFY were given carte blanche, the
only stipulation being that the factory
be erected and put in operation as soon
as possible,
An army Of men were set at work and
buildings arose with marvellous rapid
ity, There were huge brick and stone
buildings for the manufacture Of eX-
plosives, equipped with enormous walls
and folding roofs. Then there were
storehouses and sheds, little freight
station and dwelling houses.
The heads of the enterprise an
nounced that more than thousand
hands would be employed,
The factory buildings were almost
ready when orders came to the con-
tractors to quit work at once. The curt
announcement was made that the COM
pany would abandon the projected
plant One week there were heard on all
sides the tap Of hammers and ring Of
saws; the next the place was silent as
the grave, The contractors were paid
in full and the project became thing
of the past For months the buildings
served as the nesting places of birds
and tramps.
The company lately sold the plant at
auction. The buildings went for song
to lumber dealers and farmers who
wanted them for their materials.
Dwelling houses were sold for $40 and
SIS each. The land was sold to specu-
lator and the chapter was closed
For awhile it was a mystery why the
firm had so suddenly abandoned its
scheme. Lately it was learned that the
factory had been started to bring the
American powder trust to terms. The
American trust, by payment of liberal
subsidy, bought off the German firm
and promised to abandon plans it had
made for an incursion into the South
African trade, of which German firms
long had the monopoly. Thus the
American powder trust kept control OF
the American markets, and thus the
dream of an industrial village in Mid
dlesex failed of realization,-N. Y.

Manila, June ga thousand refugees
who are attempting to come to Manila
are turned back by the authorities.
who are fearful of the city becoming
.over-populated, causing pestilence
and famine. There are frequent sights
on the country road of men, women
and children staggering along under
loads of household effects. The
refugees are hungry, but not starving.
The American officials are issuing
rice to them for their present needs.
Many of the refugees tell Of being
forced to give up their supplies to the
insurgent army. They are afraid 10

of the possible attacks. The insurgent
government is to issue an order for all
the military forces to discard their uni

was called to the very small amount of

it indicated no lack of appreciation of
the admiral, but rather an inclination
to wait some expression of opinion
from him as to whether such a gift
would be agreeable to him or not.
