Bonner's Condition Serious.

One day last week a shooting scrape Bonner and Joe Goldsby at Mt. Olive church. twelve miles across the river on Southside. Goldsby was hit in the face with birdshot and twice in the leg with pistol balls. but his condition is not at all serious. Bonner was shot in the abdo- men and was reported to be a great deal worse yesterday, peritonitis having set in. An operation was to have been performed today to try to save his life. Goldsbys brother is suspected of having taken part in the shooting. sAs usual. the difficulty started about a woman. No arrests have been made so far as has been heard from. but the affair is likely to be investigated later on.

600 feet underground has its dangers

In the Penn gas coal mine is a
railroad operated with compressed
air locomotives. Last night George
Davis, Miles Watkiss and Alexander
Johnson were going to, work three
miles back from the opening. To
gain time they secured a handcar
and started down the dip. They
were going at the rate of forty miles
an hour, and were part way down
when they collided with train of
loaded cars coming out.
The handcar was demolished.
Davis sustained broken arm
and shoulder and was injured i'll
ternally. He was also nearly scraped
by the Jagged sides of the entry.
Watkiss's thigh and arm were
broken, and his head was cut, while
Johnson is suffering from confusion

1t is announced that the Baltimore

cided to purchase 100 freight loco

the contracts to be given out is ST.

among the several locomotive works.

In denuded condition, kneelinp
beside the Louisville and Nashville
tracks, near Belleville, with a prayer
hook clasped in his hands, William
Meade Lea of St. Louis, was found
the other morning. Engineer G. w.
Brown made the discovery as the
engine of which he had charge came
within few feet of the the man.
He was unable to stop the locomo-
tive and d res not know whether Lea
was struck by it.
When the train was stopped and
the man was picked up it was found
that there were numerous cuts and
bruises on his body, due, it is
thought, to contac; with the train.
Wednesday, Lea was seen in Belle
VILE wandering aimlesslY' about the
streets. AS he was well dressed and
seemed to have money, no. attention
was paid him. 3" lat was the last
seen of him until 70 was discovered
alongside the railroad track.
When picked up from the ground
Lea was stiff from the cold and ex-
posure. He was unable TO talk.
Trainmen carried him into the ca
boose and, wrapping him in couple
OF heavy blankets, rolled him along-
side the stove.
His clothing was found scattered
along the railroad track. He had evil
IDENTIFY disrobed a couple of hours be-
fore ho was discovered. When the
train reached East st. Louis the au-
thorities were notified, and the man
was taken to the police station. There
he was given medical attention, af-
ter which he was removed to St.
Mary's Hospital.

SCARCITY OF COAL IN RUSSIA.
Russia is suffering from a scarcity
of coal which threatens to severely
hamper several of her industries.
The demand.for coal and fuel of all
kinds considerably exceeds the sup
ply, and the scarcity has resulted in
a heavy rise in prices. The railway
companies have had further conces-
sions granted them, with a view to
overcoming the crises, and also to
develop the native supplies. Thev
have had their term for importing
foreign coal duty free extended for
another twelve months from last
September, and it appears that the
period will be further increased. 1t
is estimated that the output for the
current year of European Russian
coal will be over 100000 tons short
of the demand. Russia during re-
cent months has been heavy pur-

chaser of English coal, but the
heavy rise in price CT the English
product has prevented the supply be-
ing col tlnued. A cargo of American
coal has recently been delivered at
Cronstadt, at q freight of about $4.2o
per ton, and it Is stated that inquri-
ries have been made regarding the
cost of shipping American coal to
Odessa. Considering the vast guam
titles of petroleum to be found in
Russia, it is surprising that more
extensive use is not made of liquid
fuel.-Black Diamond.

tion take the organization known as
the United Mine Workers and what
thoy are doing for Hopkins county
today-causing men and boys to be-
come idlers upon the promise of sus-
tenanco until this county is organ
lied. And they are blind enough TO
their own interest to accept forty

than work at three or four times that
amount. If you don't want to en-

Pennsylvania of the Chinese EN-
pire. 1t is the province Of Shang-Si,
which is said to contain the greatest
and richest coal area of the globe.
1t is Just about as big as Illinois,and
it has four times as many people.
1t is much the same shape as Illi-
noiS, and like Illinois has a great
river running about its western and
southern sides. 1t contains iron and
limestone in vast quantities, and in
the distant future it will probably be
the greatest manufacturing and
steel-making section of the world.
In the mountains just back of Kis-
Chau there are thousands of Chinese
mining coal. They work 10 hours n
day for from 80 10 cents. The min
ing is primitive. The coal is dug
out with picks and carried from the
mine in rawhide sacks on the backs
OF men. 1t is then put into baskets
or wheelbarrows, from two to four
baskets being fastened on the
shelves which jut out on each side
of the wheel. 1t is in such barrows,
pulled and pushed by men, that
the coal is takei to the market.
Some of the wheelbarrOws have
sails. Only little can he carried on
barrow, and the freight rates arc
so heavy that it costs SO TO transport
ton from the mines to Kiao-Chau,
a distance of 20 miles. Coal worth
$2.25 a ton at the mines sells for 81
ton q few miles away.
