COAL TRUST EXPANDS
BITuMINous COMBINE BIGGER
THAN EVER EXPECTED.
BUYS CARRYING FACILITIES
Transporters Will Work in Perfect
Harmony With Producers--ur
Their Development of Western
Mines Said to be Contemplated
Big Underwriting Syndicate.

Cleveland, July 1.-THE Leader to-
day will say:
Owing to expansions of the original
plan having been agreed upon, the
formation of a soft coal trust may be
delayed to give time for working out
larger plans. The plan as now out.
lined provides close harmony between
producing and transportation COM
panies. In the latter are to be in
cluded both lake and rail and ocean
facilities of the largest proportions.
1t now develops that the purchase
of the Ohio River railroad by the
Baltimore & Ohio was a part of this
big scheme and perfected the control
of soft coal carrying facilities for GER
tain parts of the Ohio, West Virginia
and Pittsburg district. The same in
terests now control, with the assist
ance of the Morgan holdings, all coal
carrying properties in this territory
that ship coal to the lakes or to the
east via Wheeling and Lake Erie.
feet of ocean-going lake-traversing
vessels is to be collected under the
guidance of the big combination.
More of an endeavor is to be made to
sell the Pittsburg and West Virginia
steam Goals abroad than to put them
into competition in the northwest with
Goals of the same company, which are
mined in illinois and western Indiana
fields. The west being compelled to
provide largely for itself in the way
of coal production, the fields of Indi-
ana and Illinois will be developed and
mines recently discovered IN Indian
Territory and vicinity will be opened
to afford material for the western
part of this country.
It is said the financial interests
which are behind the United States
Steel corporation are forming an IN
derwriting syndicate to take care OF
the securities of the big combination,
that this organization will arrange for
the issue Of $6O,0OO,O0 of trust secur-
tiles. Western companies which are
to be purchased are the Illinois Coal
company, Hooking Coal company MO
nongahela Coal company, PittsDurg
Coal company, Paramount Coal COM
pany and Massillion Coal Mining
company. There are rumors also that
the Flat Top coal company is to be
made a part of the large organization.

tire as soon as President Mckinley
has appointed his successor. Friends
of Justice Blanchard have besieged
Senator Plat to suggest his name for
the place.
Justice Blanchard's term Of Office
will expire at the end of the present
year. His denomination Is favored by
several leaders of the anti-Tammany
movement.
Senator Plat said that he did not
know who would be appointed. He
added that names of several republi-
can lawyers of ability had been men
toned. 1t is probable that the sena-
tor and Gov. Odell will confer about
the matter during the coming week
and decide on name to submit on be-
half of the republican organization.
Republicans generally agree that ex-
Judge William P. Cohen can have the
republican Endorsement if he desires
it. 1t is not believed that he desires
it.
Secretary Of War Root is believed
to have candidate for the place.

FARMERS OPPOSE RAISE.
And Prosecutions Under Assessment
Law Talked Of.

New Richmond, Wis, July 14.-As
a consequence of the strenuous instruc-
lions issued some months ago by the
state tax commission. there are exc1t-
ing times in Star Prairie. one of he
Oldest and wealthiest towns in st.
Croix county. The trouble is between
the board of review and lot OF
wealthy farmers who are fighting Wig
orously an attempt to raise their taxes.
Under the old plan of turning in to the
assessor only portion of their proper
ty, which was then valued at only 40
or so per cent. of the actual cash valu-
alton, it was not difficult to evade the
tax, or large portion of it. But this
year very strict orders were issued to
assess everything at it's full market
value. This raised the difficulty.
Many wealthy farmers turned in sworn
statements that were proven false,
and now prosecutions are talked OF.
The state board have given strict Or
ders that all violations Of law and all
attempts to evade taxes must be prose
cuted, and it is expected there will be
lively times ahead.

NICKEL PLATE
TRAIN WRECK

Springfield, Pa, July 12.-Three
cars heavily loaded with stone, part
of a local freight on the Nickel Plate
road, crashed through a bridge over
Crooked creek near here yesterday.
Ten men were killed outright and ten
others, mostly Italians, injured, some
Of them seriously.
For some weeks the work of filling
up ravine preparatory to the cree
ton of new bridge has been going
on. A local freight placed three cars
on the old structure and the work OF
unloading had barely begun when
without warning the entire structure
collapsed with fearful crash into the
cut below. The accident happened
only few minutes after a passenger
train passed over the bridge. The
railroad men regard it as little less
than miraculous that the structure
withstood the weight of the slowly
moving coaches. Medical aid was
soon on the scene and the wounded
were removed to the hospital at Con-
neaut while the dead were taken TO
the morgue.

A BUSY RECTOR.

Builds Home, Paints the Church and
Is Cheerful Still.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 14.-When
the trustees of Holy Trinity Episcopal
church at Highland, across the river
from this city, objected to the request
of their ministere for a new rectory,
they failed to reckon on the determin-
alton of tn rector. One by one the
trustees resigned, but the minister,
Rev. George A. Nicholas, kept right on
and today the rectory is completed and
the minister, his wife and two children
are living in it.
Trinity church is not self-supporting
and the minister is paid by the arch
deaconry of Duchess county. When
Mr.. Nicholas was assigned there last
October, having previously been at
tached to the city mission and St.
Ignatius' church. in New York. he
found there was no rectory and that
the minister received salary of $500
year.
He was expected to do the work
usually performed by sexton, such
as cleaning the church, caring for the
fires and shovelling snow. All these
things he did cheerfully.
When he proposed that rectory be
built the trustees objected.
Mr.. Nicholas obtained letter from
Bishop Potter sanctioning the rectory
The minister then went to New York
and among his friends there secured
contributions The house was built for
ST 200, and when it was finished the in
dustrious clergyman was able to pay
all except $500. AS fast as the trus'
tees resigned, others friendly to the
rector's plans took their places. and
last Saturday authorized the placing of
a mortgage for $500 on the house.

Williamsport, Pa, July IA. P.
STRIKERS son was arrested by Special
Officer Benin on charge of cruelty to
animals. Later the father sent Benin
a letter challenging him to duel with
revolvers at thirteen yards.

the act of 1860 and Stryker was sent
to jail to await the action of the grand
jury. For sending the challenge he is
liable to a fine of $500 and three years
in jail. Government officers may also

 The Star is agitating the establish ment of a large custom smelter at Tucson. This is a proposition that would be endorsed by every mining man in the southwest. The Star rightly contends that next in i'm. portance to the great increase of Ari zona's mineral production Is that of adequate facilities for reducing ore at home. There should be a custom shelter at Tucson. This point is the natural center of one of the greatest and richest mineral regions of the United States The Star adds, per feet modern smelling plant, with ade- quate capital and liberal management established at this point, would be flooded with high grade ores by mine owners and chloriders by the time it was ready for active business.
