i long until he was surrounded by an
open mouthed crowd, and il was not
long, either, before the mysterious
stranger proceeded to business. He OPP

money to do SO. He offered a belt for
three dollars, but no enc bought; then

and was surprised To find I've dollar

again cheered and again somebody

boys who went after Il With agility
BY this time everybody was bubbling
over with establishment, and exclama-

The heather McRath then began 90

A young man protlered him two nick

He then asked for a quarter then a

the game went on. The throng con-

dollars and cents on the central figure
Of the mob. Then they surged back
and waited for him TO toss out the

Some pinched themselves to see II

The Big Coal Strike Is Having
"a Bad Enec on Trade in
General.

New York, Sept. PR. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: "The strike
in the anthracite coal region, which has in
volved about $780, 900 miners, and probably
10000 others, is the overshadowing influ-
ence in business. This conflict dis Slrbs
business and interferes with calculations
of merchants over a large part of the At
lantic ~seaboard, and Is really the only
tangible check to the general recoVery
which set in with the larger demand for
iron and steel products.
Outside of the anthracite industry en-
forced idleness of hands is an exception,
and even in the Pennsylvania coal region
other employers would gladly take on
thousands of more intelligent miners. The
Doscher sugar refinery closes down on ac-
count of the scarcity of raw sugar, of
which all retiners are estimated to hold
only $1,000 tons, but the Lorraine Steel COM
pany, idle three months, is starting it's fur
naces, with others to follow.
Hesitation incident to the presidential
campaign is reflected IN bank clearings,
which for New York show 1873 per cent,
and for other leading cities rs per cent.
loss from last year.
Wheat advanced sharply to SEC on
Wednesday, helped by gloomy reports
from growing districts and free purchases
at northwestern cities. Sensational gains
in price stopped foreign buying, which led
to heavy liquidation and a reaction almost
as large as the previous movement.
I'm iron and steel products greater &C.
ttvity at former prices was the rule. New
contracts were for moderate amounts.
Orders for railroad equipment for Septem.
Der are expected to include fully soon

advance of % per cent for the month.
Failures for the week were 21 in the
United States, against 154 last year, and
80 in Canada, against IS last year"
Bradstreet'S says: The ~unfayorable
turn given the general Industrial situa-
ton by the strike of anthracite coal min
ers, and the possibility Of wages dis.
putes in the iron trade, with rather less
activity in the latter industry, and some
Increase of weakness in the prices of cruder
forms, have given an appearance of irregu-
larity to the general trade and business
situation. On the other hand, the course
Of staple prices has been very generally
upward this week. Fall distribution of dry
goods, clothing, hats and millinery has
been of large volume at nearly all mar

POROUS R N BRICK.
1t Is Soaked with Kerosene, and Then
Burned in the Place of
Fuel.

NJ. Anatole Brebant's invention of
a burning brick is singular and eco
nomical. 1t is composed of a mix
ture Of metals. silicates and various
other incombustible and refractory
matters, which, in small space and
with little weight, imprison a large
amount Of heat-producing matter,
says the Philadelphia Record. The
brick is very porous and is used as
follows: An appropriate liquid cleo
hol or kerosene is poured upon it. a
lighted match is applied, and the re-
suit is a beautiful hot fire. 1t lasts
for a long time and can be extin-
guished readily.
After a short while the intense
heat produced by the combustion of
the liquid is considerably augmented
by that of the metallic mass. The
brick is made in two sizes. The do
mestic brick. for heating rooms and
cooking, weighs four ounces and
gives a fame 20 by 10 inches.
The military brick, for soldiers and
explorers, is about double the weight
of the domestic one, The brick is de-
livered in a tin box. in which it can
be thoroughly soaked in alcohol or
kerosene, and is then ready for use.

Wilkes Barre, Sept. 24.-The situa-
zion this morning shows no change

marched into Macadoo from Shenans
doah at 5!o'clock this morning. Bur-
CESS Mcclellan told the colonel that
the militia was not needed and that
thepresence of soldiers simply caused
a o bitter feeling among the
strikers and makes them more de-
termined to extend the shutdown.
They say the militia is calledto over

troublel in the vicinity Of HazeIton
this morning. All the mines south OF
the city are closed. The Lattimer

to go to work. The Jeddo group of
mines opened with a few less men
than were in Saturday, The Markle
mines are getting out about two
tifths Of their normal output. Other
c~ollieries on the north side opened

by the Hazelton retail associations
that no credit will be given customers

WONDERFUL FEAST
President Loubet Banquets the
French Mayors.

Paris, Sept. 24.-The city of Paris
on Saturday abandoned itself to the
sway of the assembled mayors of
France. The Gargantuan banquet Of
over $4,000 covers took place at noon,
in ideal September weather, in the
Tuilleries gardens. This gigantic
feast throws far into the shade the
memorable repast of the mercenaries,
so picturesquely described by Gustave
Flaubert in 'Salammbo." Saturdays
banquet, of which President Loubet
was the host, was the biggest "sit-
down meal" ever served in France, the
only historical precedent at all APP
preaching it being the fraternal ban
net of $4,000 covers on April 2, 1915, in
the Champ de Mars, given by the inn
perial guard for the national guard to
celebrate Napoleon's return from
Elba. At an early hour thousands of
sightseers gathered in the Place de
la Concorde and the Rue Rivoli. Many
shouts of "Vive Monsieur lie Maire'' re-
sounded, and the street hawkers, al
ways equal to an occasion of the kind
sold innumerable pastboard and jack
slide images entitled, GAS tn WI Mon.
sier lie Mare" together with new
songs set to the popular air of "Pere
la V~ictorie," or of "Reyenant de la
Revue"
In the gardens of the Tuileries the
service was admirably conducted by
21,s70 walters, divided into squads Of
~ aanb snuad commanded Inv a head
waiter. There were altogether 1918
head walters. The commander in
chief of this little army was NJ. lie
Grand, the head caterer, who, mount
ed on his motor tricycle. and attended
by a numerous staff, also on motor
cycles, wheeled and circled about
with lightning rapidity. Nearly all
the other walters rode bicycles. With
the exception of coffee, everything
was served cold. The space occupied
by the guests measured over $4,000
square meters, forming a total length
of table of eight kilometers, equal to
four miles seven furlongs and 1859
yards, or nearly five miles. 1t re-
quired $50 oxen to supply the beef
for the mayors luncheon, and 500
pounds of salmon, $500 chickens and
1880 p~heasants and 10000 bottles Of
wine were served. Each guest was
provided with a cigar, and a brigade
of firemen stood at attention when
the t~wenty-odd thousand matches
were ignited to light its forest Of
cigars.

SHOWN NO MERCY.
Four Negroes Taken from Jail
by a Mob.

Ponchatoula, La, Sept. 22.-Four ne
groes were lynched here Thursday
night who were suspected of burglar
izing the residence of Henry Hatfelder,
whose home is in Tangipahoa parish.
The victims are: Isaiah Rollins, aged
1s; Nathaniel Bowman, aged Al;
George Bickham, aged 22; Charles
Elliott, aged 20, 1t is said there has
been an epidemic of burglaries in the
lower section of Tangipahoa parish of
late. A vigilance committee was long
ago formed for the purpose of taking
summary action when the opportunity
presented itself. The opportunity came
Thursday when Hatfelder reported
that his residence had been entered the
night before and robbed of $3.50 in
cash. AS soon as the facts wereknown
the authorities acted with promptness,
arresting IA suspects during the day.
These were confined in the small jail.
During the day there was suppressed
excitement and it was evident that
some of the negroes would be severely
dealt with. At night the doors Of the
Jail were broken open and the four
negroes who had been selected by the
mob as the most guilty were taken out
and hanged to the limbs of a large oak
tree which stands near the jail. The
people of Ponchatoula, both white and
black, deplore the action of the mob
and both races in mass meeting Friday
appointed a law and order committee.
