NOT PERMITTED TO TALK
PULLMAN COMPANY ISSUES SUCH
AN ORDER TO IT'S EMPLOYEES.

Several days ago a rather singular
order was issued from the offices OF
the local Pullman shops to the fore
men Of the different departments. IL
was as follows:
ITO All Foremen: Any employe
seen holding a conversation during
working hours will be Immediately dis
charged BY order OF John Bulge, SUI
perintendent."
Upon receipt of the above the fore
men notified the gang bosses and they
in turn informed their men of the
edict Now the men are afraid 10 open
their mouths fearing that they will be
thrown out OF work.
II is stated that in the paint depart
ment .he men object TO such an order.
as they all are employed at piece
work therefore IL they lose any time
in talking 1t is at their own expense,
and the company is nothing out
Last evening a painter stated to an
Evening Journal reporter that unless
that order is revoked the painters Will
leave the works, as Spring is now here
and they can easily secure outside
work, and all shops are busy. therefore
it would be no hard matter to secure
employment.

"PINNY" PIERCE OUT OF JAIL
ACCUSED MURDERER is A FREE
MAN UNTIL JUNE.

Media, April Amos Pierce, charg-
ed jointly with his brother 'Jim.' with
the murder Of George b. Eyre. was re-
leased from Jail yesterday by Judge
johnson. Bail was fixed at 81 600, and
NJ. B. Fahey and Peter Carey. two mer-
chants CT Chester. were accepted by
District Attorney Smith as security.
After collecting few things. among
them a shad net. which 'Pinny" had
knit while In Jail, "Pinny" and his
father took a trolley car for Chester.
Counsel for the accused men do not
think that "Pinnys" condition had
anything to do with his release. They
have no case against him." said Mr..
Hinkson, "and we will prove on tho
trial that both men are innocent Of
the charge OF murder"
This belief is shared generally by
the public. The release OF "Plnny''
without opposition on behalf Of the
prosecution is taken as an indication Of
weakness ON the part of the commons
weahh's case as far as "Pinny' is con-
cerned.

SOFT COAL GOES UP
ADVANCE OF FIFTY CENTS A TON
AND PRICES LIKELY TO STAY
HIGH.

AND PRICES LIKELY TO STAY
HIGH.
A dispatch from Cumberland, Md,
SAYS: The price of coal in the local
market has advanced 90 cents a ton.
Run of mine now sells at 1925 a ton
and lump at S2.75 a ton. There was a
great rush among consumers last week
to lay in a supply under the old rates.
One dealer on Saturday used every
available team and even wheel-bar-
rows.
Heavy consumers in the East, who
have been holding of in making con-
tracts, are now tumbling over each
other, so to speak to make them, hav-
ing become convinced that the present
high prices are TO last. No operator,
Il is said, is considering prices lower
than those arranged by the associa-
tion Of operators. Most producers. IL is
stated, are limiting their deliveries 10
old customers. and in some cases re-
fusing to supply these with all the coal
wanted, naming fixed amounts which
customers may call for during the year.
This attitude is due to the great de-
mand and constantly threatening labor
troubles. There is the greatest devel-
opment Of coal lands in Maryland.
West Virginia and Pennsylvania. and
largely increased output is certain.
Cumberland is among the last points
where coal has gone up, the prices hav-
ing been raised at nearly all places
several months ago.

A BUSY CORONER

HE ATTENDED TO sIXTY-SEVEN
CASES DURING THE PAST
THREE MONTHS.
Coroner Vandever was a busy man
during quarter ending March 81. To
the Levy Court yesterday he reported
having rendered service in sixty-seven
cases, the largest number for any quar-
ter for several years. Many Of these
cases were suicides, but the largest
number we're due 10 accidents. The
coroner says the quarter which began
on Monday may be another busy one,
if the cases continue TO come to his
notice as rapidly as they have since
Monday.
He has already acted in two cases,
and expects the third one before many
mere days. It Is a peculiar fact that
sudden death is always followed by
two more, or at least that is the con-
clusion the coroner has reached after
being in Office almost two years.

OTHER LEVY COURT MATTERS.

VI liDh LEV OOllNl' MAI Ef(O.
Under the act of the State Legisla-
ture, which permits member of the
Levy Court to name a member of the
Trustees of the Poor to MI vacancy.
Robert M. Cam, OF Glasgow. in Pen
cader hundred, was named as a mem
Der Of that body by Commissioner
White OF the Fourth district. at this
mornings session Of the Levy Court
This was the only matter OF business
transacted by the court, and It came
up after three members Of the court
Messrs. White, Mealey and GALLAGHER
had been closeted in the office OF Comp
troller Kelley. Upon their return to
the court room Commissioner White
named Mr.. Cam as a member of the
Trustees of the Poor. and after his mo-
tion was reduced TO writing by Attor-
ney John II. Rodney, so that the action
would appear as that Of one member
Of the court and not that OF the body,
the appointment was confirmed.
Mr.. Cam merely succeeds himself In
Office. In 1898 he was appointed
trustee to succeed Charles III. Salmon,
who resigned the presidency of the
board to become speaker OF the State
Senate Mr.. Salmon's appointment
was for three years. therefore Mr..
Cams term expired on the last day OF
March. AT that time he was not men
toned for election to the board for rea-
sens that are unknown, but several
days ago Il became known that he had
not been elected to the board. hence the
action Of Mr. White this morning. Mr.
Cam will now serve on the beard until
he is elected TO the office at the first
regular meeting Of the court in Octo-
Der
Yesterday afternoon the court was in
private session about an hour What
was done at the meeting could not be
learned frCm an official source, but it
was ascertained that the commission
ers discussed the subject of county f.
nances. which are quite low at this
time. They are so low, in fact that
the court has instructed county officers
that no allowances can be made them
until July, when the 1900 taxes will be
lcollcctable. Some revenue will be de-
lrivei from the delinquent collectors,
but this will hardly be sufficient TO pay
