Scene Of Pleasant Reception.

The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs.
Elias Milliken was the scene of a large
and brilliant reception. last evening,
the pleasant memory of which will lin
ger long with all who were present at
it. Not in years has there been a So
cial event in Augusta more largely at
tended. and never one more thoroughly
enjoyed. The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Milliken is admirably adapted for pur-
poses Of entertainment and notwith-
standing the large number present
there was plenty of elbow room for all.
Col. and Mrs. Milliken We're assisted
in receiving by Mrs. ]. Z. Blabon Of

the PRICE OF COAL.
Wholesale Price 10 Increase Water Freight
Rates Will bs Higher Soon.

Indications are that, this month, the
wholesale price of coal will go up Is
cents a ton. Comprehensive plans for
the readjustment Of the entire anthra-
cite coal trade have been drawn up and
are about to be put into operation.
The new project will be far reaching
in it's effects and the public will see the
first fruits of it about February 1, or
a ton in all varieties will be made.
The matter of price to be charged the
public has been considered by the an
thracite companies in all its phases,
and while the inclination of the bank
ing interests is to establish a general
selling company and do away with the
sales agents and middle men, it has
been deemed advisable not to do so at
the present time since it might give the
appearance of a trust and thus arouse
legislation.
A Journal reporter called at the office
Of Purinton Brothers and learned thai,
while no official notice of the advance
has yet been received, they have heard
the rumors for some time and have
been looking for the advance to go into
effect somewhere about the 1st of Feb
ruary. While it would affect the
wholesalers. this firm did not think
that the present price would be
changed to the Augusta coal buying
public for a while at least.
They say that every year there Ia
this same cry from the wholesalers,
and this is nothing so very new. How
ever, they say that the freight rates are
to be very much higher than before. 50
that the spring coal will reach higher
mark for the public. This is explained
in this manner: Many of the small
vessels engaged in the coal carrying
trade were wrecked. last fall, and that
will tend to increase the rates. Then
the business is brisker and that always
makes the freight very much higher.
SO for the present the Augusta public
has nothing to fear, but there will
come a time in the spring when the
drain on the pocketbook will be
greater.

that it affords further delay which, in the

with Admiral Dewey on board, arrived off
Sandy Hook light ship at $3.50 this morn

September ~.
There was heavy mist at sea and at
first the marine observers were inclined to
think the vessel sighted might be the Chi
cago, Rear Admiral Howisons flagship,
hardly believing Dewey would arrive two
days ahead OF time. The doubt was soon
cleared away, however, and as the passing
vessels recognized the flagship from Ma
Mia bay there was continuous blowing
OF whistles in salute.
One of the first large vessels to sight the
/ Olympia was the passenger steamer Sandy
Hook OF the Sandy HOOK line, which lett
Atlantic Highlands shortly after 7 o'clock
for her New York dock. just as she got
well under way, war vessel was seen
through the fog and passengers and crew,
headed by Sandy Hooks captain, gather
ed at the rail to read the newcomers
name. To get near enough to do this the
Sandy Hook changed her course and head
ed directly for the Olympia, blowing her
whistle in salute as she did so. As soon
as the name was made out the Sandy
Hook passengers cheered with all their
might and in few moments an answer
ing cheer came over the water from the
warships sailors, many OF whom were
, gathered on deck.
The flagship came up the lower bay and
anchored inside Sandy Hook As soon as
the anchor was dropped an orderly was
sent ashore with dispatches from the add
miial and other officers. He said the ship
