OPTIONS ON INDIANA COAL PROPER
TIES HAVE BEEN RENEWED.
Another Conference VIII De Held in
Chicago ShortIy-Prospects
for a Consolidation.

J. Smith Talley, OF Terre Haute. says
there is nothing in the story sent from In
dsanapolis Sunday night to the effect that
John 8. Bays and II. c. Thompson. of st.
Louis, held a conference here in regard to
the formation OF the Indiana and Illinois
consolidated coal companies. Mr.. Talley,
who is president of the Indiana Coal OPP
orators Association, and the prime mover
in the effort to consolidate the ownership of
Indiana mines into one company, says that
he does not know Mr.. Thompson by name,
but that probably he and Mr.. Bays were
comforting about other matters than the
consolidation project. The latter is in a
fair way to be accomplished, the options on
the properties in this State having been re-
newed from Aug. 81, when they expired, to
a date in February. a meeting will be held
in Chicago in a few days, when il will be
decided If IL is eXpedient to push the for
nation or the company and take over the
properties at once or after the first of the
year.
The price OF coal at the mines was not
advanced with the 1st of the month, as had
been expected. During the summer some

Withdrawn. 1t is believed there will be
an advance before the end of this month of
10 or 10 cents at tho mines. 1t is not prob
able that the price will go higher this win
ter than last. chiefly for The reason that
since then the capacity Of Indiana mines

Somewhat.
Lock Nine is expected to be fin
ished this week and made ready for
use again Il has been closed for
month on account of an accident to
the lock gates which has put the
whole thing out OF business. While
the repairs have been going forward
there is nothing doing on the river.
| Two of the boats have remained tied
up to the banks at this place. The
rest OF them are running up to Pt.
Marion from pittsburg.
Much delay has been encountered
by the boats during the past season.
First the ice, then the high water,
then lock six got out of whack sew
cral times and now number nine is
unfit for service. It was thought
that the lock would be fixed in
very few days but great deal Of
difficulty has been experienced in
getting the timber to make the new
gates. 1t takes particular kind OF
timber to make good gates and it is
hard to get in this day and genera
ton
Mr.. s. NJ. Bishop states that the
work has not yet started on locks IL

WHEELING'S CHANCES.
This City away ahead In the Race for
the National Guard Encampment.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, May g.
The citizens Of Parkersburg seem to
have at last come to realization or
the fact that unless something is done
and done quickly, this city will lose
the epcampment OF the National
Guard and the honor of entertaining
the Guard will go TO Wheeling.
Wheeling has already offered flatter-
ing inducements, while as yet Par
kersburg has done nothing toward
securing the encampment. The cause
OF this seeming apathy on the part OF
Parkersburg is hard TO explain, as 1t
is well known that the encampment
is desired The only plausible expla-
nation is that the citizens OF Parkers-
burg have felt SO confident Of securing
it that any effort in that direction
was deemed unnecessary.
The mistake which was made La not
taking action sooner is now seen, and
from this time 90 it will he fight
between Parkersburg and Wheeling.
with the chances, at present, in favor
Of the latter city. The matter has
been brought TO the attention of the
board of trade and a meeting of that
body was held ON Saturday morning
At that meeting Ii was decided to
fight 10 the end to secure the encamp-
ment The citizens will be asked to
contribute to a fund TO bear the ex-
pense and no stone will be left I'M
turned TO bring it here. Already the
grounds for the encampment have
been secured and the board of trade
feels confident of the success of their
undertaking The extent OF the in
ducements which will be made to the
Guard have not yet been made public.
One Of the officers OF the Guard and
one who stands close to the governor,
remarked this morning that while
Parkersburg might secure the en-
campment, everything now points ia
Wheeling, as it will take much to
counterfeit the effect of the induce
ments that city has already offered
Although Adjutant General s. B-
Baker is DESTROYS that the encamp-
ment be held here, he states that he
will recommend that It be held at the
place which offers the most. The
local members OF the Guard are almost
unanimous In their wish that Wheel
ing be selected.
