RUNORED COAL COMBINE
TO EMBRACE ALL THE MINES AND
TERRITORY IN THIS SECTION
OF COUNTRY.
FIVE HUNDRED CARS A DAY
Could Be Turned Out-Shipping Fa-
cilitfes Are UnexceHed M A.
Hanna Said to Be Interested in the
DeaI-Wall Street Representative
Looking Over the Ground.

What promises to be one of the larg-
est combines ever contaminated in this
vicinity will probably be arranged in
a short time. From an unofficial source,
but believed to be reliable. it has been
learned that movement has been
started to combine all the mines in this
section, including those near this city
and those across the river, reaching
from south and west of Bellaire, and
all the mines on the c., L. & w. as far
as Uhrichsville, also on the G. & P. to
Steubenville, those on the Wheeling &
Lake Erie to Valley Junction and the
mines on the Panhandle from Mingo
west as far as Bowerston.
1t can be readily seen what large
scope of territory this would take in,
having frontage on the river of over
fifty miles, and in some places being as
many miles wide.
In this section about five hundred car
loads OF coal is mined daily, and if all
the mines were pushed and the large
amount Of new territory opened up, the
production would be something sur
prising, and would mean one of the
largest coal fields in this country. This
fact has been realized by the most ex-
tensive coal operators in the country,
and its advantages have even been
noticed by Mark Hanna, who has al
ready made some large investments in
this section. The shipping facilities
are all that could be asked for, and the
control of this territory by combine
or trust would make it one of the larg-
est producing fields in America At
present the NJ a. Hanna Coal Company,
of Cleveland, it is said, is negotiating
for this territory, and has other capital
lists interested, but this good thing has
not been overlooked by the spectators
in Wall street. and New York capital
lists have agents in the field who are
looking up this deal for them, and no
doubt if these two sections of capital,
the East and West, lock horns some
good prices for coal lands and mines
will be paid. From all reports at pres
ent it looks as though one or the other
would buy this much coveted terri
tory

The musicale to be given by the

Friday evening, promises to be quite
a success. Several prominent singers
from Wheeling viii take part, and
these with the excellent home talent,

A C. & P. freight engine was thrown
from the track Thursday evening, ow
ing to a brakeman failing to throw

ed over an enhancement for several
feet with both engineer and firemen on
it. Both jumped and saved themselves
from any injury. The engine was bad
ly damaged and will have to be entirely
overhauled. The wreck train from
Wellsville succeeded in getting the en-
CINE back on the track.
County politics are already looming
UP in this county and in this city it
has reached high temperature. Two
gentlemen of this city want the nomi-
nation for county clerk, namely, Louis
L. Scheehle and Judge Cochran. The
latter is now out hustling and inspir-
ing his friends in his cause Mr..
Scheehle is rather quiet, but it is not
supposed that this quiet demeanor
means that he is not doing some work.
He is very popular and has
large following which Is very enthus-
iastic in his behalf. The fight win be
a hot one, and neither candidate will
leave stone unturned to secure this
nomination.

the officeseekers have come out in force
