SYDNEY SAMUEL'S SUICIDE.

Says About the Case.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser quotes Rev. Isaac
Samuel, rabbit of the aristocratic Bays
water Synagogue in London, as making the
following statements concerning the death
or his son, Sydney Samuel, the exporter,
who shot himself at Portland, Me-, last
Sunday: '"The reports that he committed
suicide because forbade his marriage
with Mrs. Charities do me a cruel wrong.
l ask you not to allow such a stigma to
rest on me. 1t would be criminal injustice
to loving father. My son did have an
affair with this woman, but broke il off
of his own accord. 1t cut him deeply at
the time, but his recent visit home had,

BIG DEAL IN MINES.
Property of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company Sold to the Erie Road.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 13-All the min
ing property of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company and other allied coal-producing
interests has been sold to the Erie Rail-
road. The property involved includes
twenty-five mine works in the Scranton
and Pittston fields, producing 100000 tons
of coal and employing $500 men and boys.
A prominent coal operator of the Wyom-
ing region who asked that his name be
withheld, in an interview says that an
effort Is being made by syndicate to buy
all the individual mines between Wilkes
barre and Carbondale, and when all o.
most of these mines are secured Ii is
probable that the syndicate will reach out
10 the Hazleton and Schuylkin region
There are about twenty-five individual
colieries between Wilkesbarre and Carbon
dale and the capacity is about u. 900 tons a
day. The purchase OF these collieries
would give the syndicate complete control
In the whole region north OF Alden and
Warrior run, or the purchase OF a ma
jorlty of them would make them masters
of the situation.
