Last winter there WAS an increase of
fifty cents. The unusual advaElc ,n:s
season has been caused by i coml,ir;s-
ti2a Clc instances Owe" thisn the

1T is understood that there has been
an effort afont for the past two or three
months to advance prices on black dia-
monds. but no action was taken be
cause one or more dealers with stock
on hand. refused TO enter into an agree
mcnt while their supply. purchased al
tle former rate, remained.
The new rate went into effect yester-
iay. 1t is stated in explanation that
coal now costs the local dealers $i1a
more than it did under the old rate,
and that they have. accordingly, ;il
vanced the price to Il figure fifteen cents
less 70 the public chan the advance to
the dealers.
Anthracite nut and egg coal has been
selling for sc a ton. 1t will now bring

RACING FOR A CUP.
The Columbia and the Defender We're
Contestants.

New York, July S.-Conditions early
to-day for the trial races between the
yachts Columbia and Defender of

angle, is one nineteen miles long, start
ing just outside of Larchmont harbor,

the other side of the sound, and then
back to the finish line with repeat. The
Defender crossed the line at 12:40:41, the
Columbia at 12:40:53. Both boats had a
great match right after the start. The
Columbia gained the best in luffing. The
sloops sailed mile, which left them
half a mile off the course. Passing the
buoy the Columbia was a couple CT
lengths ahead, both crafts speeding
along with fine breeze. The Columbia
rounded the third mark, finishing first
around the course in 2:10:30, and the
Defender in 2:12;26. Both boats then
started on the second round of thu
course
The Columbia won by three minutes
and two seconds. The Columbia crossed
the line at 3:24:20 the Defender at
927:22. The official finish: Columbia,
3:24:09; Defender, 3:27:22. Elapsed time:

An ARMY EPISODE.
Lieutenant Who Shot at Colonel Grafton
Shot Himself,

Chicago, July S.-Lieutenant Samuel
F. Pague, United States army, retired,
committed suicide at the New Era ho-
tel, last night. Lieutenant Pague was
court -martialed in 1895 for an assault
upon Colonel Crofton, 18th infantry,
Fort Sheridan. The court-martial of
Lieutenant Pague attracted wide atten-
tion. Pague was jealous of Colonel
Crofton, alleging the latter's attentions
to Mrs. Pague were too pronounced. Oc-
tober 8, 1896, Pague, heated with wine,
attempted to kill the colonel. Two bull
lets went through the latter's overcoat,
the third striking the ground. Mrs.
Pague seized her husbands arm. He
was dismissed from the army on the
finding of the court martial.
