Local Effect of the Coal Strike.

The great Pennsylvania coal strike
will be keenly felt in st. Johnsbury if it
continues long and higher prices for coal
must prevail. E. T. & H. K. 1de and
George P. Moore have already advanced
coal $1.75 a ton and will only supply
one ton OF coal to any customer. +. q
7. Fairbanks & Co. are not taking any
orders from customers as in case OF
prolonged strike they will have to use
coal which they bad originally bought
to sell to others. The local dealers can
not get coal from the wholesale houses
at any price and the man who has got
in his winters supply of coal is indeed
fortunate. The end Of the strike will be
gladly awaited by all, but If it should
speedily end it will be several weeks be,
fore there will be there will be the usual
supply of coal in St. Johnsbury as the
bulk of it will be absorbed at the
| seaboard.

CANNON BALL HELD UP NEAR
NEW ORLEANS.

AS the Chicago limited, that passes
Brookhaven at 1852 p. m, drew near
New Orleans on the evening of the
18th, it was held up BY one or more
bold scoundrels. Conductor Kinabrew
was shot, the doors of the baggage and
mail cars were ~dynamited, and after
the engine was uncoupled by Kina-
brew at the peremptory demand of the
marauders at the point of pistols, it
bore away the robbers with the pouch
of registered letters, and the conduc-
tors fine watch and other valuables.
Since that time no definite clue has
been found to the criminals. One sus-
pect has been arrested and Chicago de-
tectives are at work upon the case.
Conductor Kinabrew is one of the
best known conductors on the I. c.
and it is gratifying to note be is ex-
pected to recover. His life was saved
by the bullet striking the buckle of
the belt he wore, and glancing. The
shot that told was received in the back
near the spine.
The passengers were not molested;
but there was considerable excitement
among them as they hastily hid all
valuables and jewels, when informed
that their train was in the hands of
highwaymen.

New Value of Cotton Seed.

Under the caption of New Value Of
Cotton Seed" the Southern Farm Ga
zette contains the following leading
and interesting editorial.
"a discovery has lately been made
of so refining cotton seed oil as to
make it take the place of linseed oil in
paints. That is, it has been made to
dry readily when so used. The cotton
seed oil is usually sold for one-half to
one-third the price of linseed oil. 1t
would seem that one effect of this dis
covery would be to ruin the linseed oil
industry by cheapening its selling
price. Another effect will be to en-
nance the value of cotton seed oil and
of cotton seed. Still another will be
to cheaper paints and make their use
more universal. Many houses, barns,
fences, etc, that never knew coat of
paint ought to come in for bright
new dress.
ga discovery is also announced of a
new process for making the finest of
paper from cotton seed bulls. 1t is
said that wood paper pulp costs at
least $50 ton, while the pulp from
cotton seed bulls costs at most not
over s. ton. 1t is announced that a
S50,000,0OO company has been organ
lied to erect oil mills, buy the seed
and crush them and make the bulls
into paper. 1t is claimed that by rea-
son of this new use and value of bulls
a ton of seed formerly worth $3.50
would be worth Sill If this is correct
it would indicate value of bulls for
paper making of $40 to Sl2
"This discovery, of course, will
cheaper paper, and we hope to the de-
struction of the great paper trust, and
will at the same time enhance the
price of cotton seed and add to the
profits ofthe..cotton farmer. Further
more, it will probably take hulls
out of use for feed, diversity his crops,
and thus somewhat reduce the cotton
acreage and enhance prices"
