ries in the United States. The crime for
the preparation of which he was wanted

PRODUCTION OF COAL.
During the Year 1898 There Were Mined
219,s35, ,093 Short Tons.

During the Year 1898 There Were Mined
219,s35, 1893 Short Tons.
The figures by states showing the produc-
ton of coal in the United States during 1898
have just been completed by Edward W..
Parker statistician of the United States
Geological Survey. This compilation shows
that the total production of all kinds Of coal
in 1898 reached the enormous figures of 2l9,-
s35, ,993 short tons, an increase of nearly 10
per cent. over the output in 1897.
Among the bituminous coal producing
states the largest increase was in Pennsyl-
vania, where 1857, 953 tons were added to
the 1897 bituminous product, the total amount
mined reaching So, 1856, sA tons.
Statician Parker thus comments on the
showing made THE large increase in the
production of bituminous coal and the COM
parative stationary condition of the anthra-
cite industry calls attention to the increased
competition of bituminous coal and its pro-
duets of gas and coke for domestic consump-
tion with that of anthracite coal. For a
number of years the anthracite producers
have experienced great deal of difficulty in
keeping the production within the market
demands and incidentally restricting the
product necessarily increased the cost of
mining and correspondingly necessitates
higher selling prices for the coal. Each ad-
vance in the selling price of this fuel makes
customers for the coke and gas products OF
bituminous coal.
"The increasing use of mechanical methods
of mining bituminous coal has materially
reduced the cost Of mining, and, while the
anthracite producers are faced with a con
tinually increasing cost of their own product
they are also obliged to meet competitor
whose cost Of production has been steadily
decreasing 1t appears from the general
condition of the anthracite coal mining
industries that anthracite coal is becoming
more and more of a luxury and it will finally
be restricted to markets where the price Ii
merely inordiuate."

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Young Woman Driven to Desperation by "a
False suItor.

Miss Kate Tieter, daughter Of William
Tiotor Of Ringtown, and a teacher in one of
the public schools Of Union township, is re-
ported to have attempted suicide because of
base treatment received at the hands of
suitor Cyrus Goho, Of Nuremburg. 1t is
alleged that the young man took advantage
of the confidence reposed in him by the
young woman and induced her to loan him
S6i, representing part Of her savings from the
salary she received as teacher. After serur-
lug the money Goho left for parts unknown.
The deceitfuness of the fellow and the loss
OF her savings prayed upon the young
womau's mind TO such ah extent that she be-
come desperately despondent and attempted
to cut her throat. She was frustrated in the
get by her parents. The young woman is
highly esteemed any very popular, and much
sympathy is expressed for her.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
WIN Probably be Held Previous to the
Democratic Gathering.

1t is likely that the Republican county CON
vention will be held on July 3rd, one week
previous to the Democratic gathering. County
Chairman Quail has notices prepared, which
will be issued this week, calling for a meet
ing of the Republican Standing Committee at
Pottsyille on June 18th. At that time the
committee will decide upon the date and
place Of holding the cony ention. II. E.
Dengler and Hon. Joseph Wyatt represent
Shenandoah on the committee.
Among the party leaders and candidates
for offices there is some difference of opinion
as to the date for the convention. A few
favor the first or second week in August,
while others prefer the week following the
Democratic gathering, which would be July
18th. The great majority of those who take
an interest in politics favor July 3, one week
before the Democrats This latter date is
preferable for more reasons than one. The
Republicans should assume the aggressive in
this campaign, and therefore the county con-
vention should not follow the Democrats.
