to enter the contest The nominating conven-
ton at Frankfort was one Of the hottest party
contests of the year and on the sixty-third
ballot Mr. Gayle received the nomination over
several strong and influential candidates. The
Republicans and Brown Democrats then nornl-
mated W. c. Owens. Of Scott County. who de-
feated Colonel w. c. P. Breckenridge for the
nomination for Congress in 1894. Mr. Gayle's
campaign was not marked by any enthusiasm
for him. as the leaders of the Goebel wing Of the
Democratic party did not consider him a strong
supporter Of their friend. In fact. he had been
opposed to the nomination of Goebel for Gov
ernor. In spite of the apathy in his own party
Mr.. Gayle defeated Owens by nearly three thou
sand majority.
Mr.. Gayle is man of charming personality
He is about six feet tall. has regular and almost
boyish features, deep blue eyes. light brown
hair, a strong mouth and nose. and splendid
bearing. There is a frankness about him which
is altogether absent from the average pOliti-
clan. AS illustration: While making his
canvass he told newspaper man at Lexington
that he did not want the place he was Seekingi
that he felt he not competent properly TO
represent the Ashland district in Congress; but
he declared his friends and the friends of Mr.
Settle had pressed the matter him so strongly
that he could not refuse them, and he was there
fore making the race much against his will and
against his personal convictions

SHORT SUPPLY OF BITUMINoUs COAL.

IN SOME OF ITS LOCOMOTIVES.

IN SOME OF ITS LOCOMOTIVES
Reading Penn. Jan. CSpeciaD-The cold weather
has caught some of the industries the Schuylkill
valley with an unusually short supply of bitumi-
nous coal, and some manufacturers are alarmed
over the situation. Even the Reading Railway is
short, and many of the locomotives formerly using
sort coal are now burning anthracite. In the sum-
mer and fall the company laid In large supply of
buckWheat coal (the smallest siZe). which Is now
being shipped to different parts OF the road. that
1t can be used by the locomotives There are forty
nVe thousand tons on hand. and 1t is thought that
this Is enough to tide the company the winter
whenever there is a shortage OF btuminous. The
scarcity of this class of coal is due to the in
ability of the mines furnish it. but the railway
companies seem unable to handle the enormous
traffic that is now in transit. and furnaces and
iron mills are alike eager for relief. Bituminous
coal ordered from the Western Pennsylvania regions
weeks ago has not yet been delivered and a great
deaI or concern Is expressed now that the size of
the trains has been cut down because of the cold
weather.

The largely increased figure Is not due to any soft

says that this scarcity in coalcars only be
solved by increasing the speed of trains carrying
coal. Through freight trains run al the
rate OF thirty-fve miles hour. and he believes
the coal deliveries could be vastly increased by in
creasing the speed OF the trains.

New York. Aug. 14.-No more lock-
step at Sing Sing prison The officials
OF the greatest prison i'm the United
States have declared against the pris-
on walk. For a long time the ques-
ton Of abandoning il has been under
consideration, and the recent hot
weather turned the scales i'm favor OF
it's discOntinuance. Such radical de-
parture from prison tradition was
not expected by the prisoners, who
are greatly delighted
The lockstep requires that each
man march almost i'm the footsteps of
the man in front. with the left hand
on his shoulder. The men are wedoed
together as closely as they can walk.
In warm weather this step is source
OF great discomfort TO the prisoners.
The lockstcp is also particularly re-
pugnant to prisoners. because in no
other way is their degradation
brought home so forcibly to them.
