Output Beats the Record.

The production Of anthracite coal this
year will be the largest in the history of
the trade. pproXimately the output
will be about 10000, 900 tons more than
in 1900. The production last year was
49, lO7, ,4s4 tons; in 1899, 47, ,G6G, 900 tons,
and in 1898, Al $50, 500 tons For nine
months of this year the shipment of coal
has amounted to 40, 300 1856 tons, as
against "a, 4,202, ,7l0 tons for the same
period last year, an increase of 6,l07 ,076
tons. These figures only relate to the
actual shipment of coal, and do not in
cude that used at the mines and by the
coal companies.
The production this month will show
big increase over October, 1900. Last
year the output in October was 3i,7s5
tons. This small output was due to the
strike which prevailed throughout the
region. The production of coal this
month, it is believed, will be at least
4 4,joO, 900 tons and for November and
December it is thought the output will
equal that for last year. which will

Institute Closes Today.

The annual institute of Luzerne
counly school teachers closes at Wilkes
barre today. The 800 teachers who
have attended the several sessions dur
ing the week were given many opportu-
nitlea to increase their store of knowl-
edge A number of noted lecturers and
instructors addressed the teachers and
gave them much to ponder upon in re-

bring the the total production for the
year up in round figures to 55,000,000
tons.
This production has been fully taken
and the anthracite coal companies have
little or no stock of coal on hand The
Reading Company. with its storage yard
at Port Richmond, which usually has
hundreds of thousands of tons stored
there now has only Il few thousand tons.
This condition prevails throughout the
country and most of the yards are com
paratively bare.
The demand for anthracite has been
greater this year than ever before, and
the reason given for the great qnanti-
ties used is the general prosperity OF
the county. The trade is in far better
condition than ever before and prices are
being maintained. During this year
there, have been two months in which
the output was over 100000 tons. 1t
appears when the coal compsn MES mine
more than s. 900. 900 tons il month that
they reach their maximum, as they
are unable to handle this quantity for
more than two months consecutvely.
There is great shortage of coal cars
and the Pennsylvania mines yesterday
were compelled to close, as no cars
could be secured. The Lehigh Valley
and Jersey Central have practically
placed an embargo on other lines, and
will not permit their coal cars to go off
their line of tracks.

suggestions found in Bret IIarte's popu

so "TenneSsees Pardner" stands for the

in California and which Eugene Field

Convict Becomes Millionaire.

Columbus O., Oct. 13.--Robert f.
Wolfe, head OF Wolfe Bros. Shoe COM
pany of this city, president OF the boot
and shoe trust of the United States.
whose headquarters are in Boston, the
largest employer Of labor and one Of the
wealthiest men in Columbus, began life
as penniless convict in the penitentiary
at Jeffsrsonville, Indiana, 20 years ago.
This sensational statement was made
last night in substance by the attorney
for Mr.. Wolfe, who explained that he
made the matter public at his clients re-
quest, the latter being anxious to unload
the troubles and secret.
1t was stated that the action taken by
MIR. Wolfe would also serve to shake off
the small army Of blackmailers who have
long known OF tho prison sentence, and
have taken advantage OF that knowledge
for private gain.
The scene of Wolfe's life tragedy was
at Cataract, Owen county, Indiana. He
was sent to Jail charged with assault
with intent to kill. Wolfe decided one
day to escape, and, seizing favorable
opportunity. he struck the sheriff, John
Garrar6, over the head and made dash
for liberty. He was not half mile
away when he was rscaptured.
He was sent to the Jeffersonville peni-
tentiary for Ave years, and because of
his KNOWLEDGE of shoe making he was
placed in the shoe manufacturing de-
partmsnt. Upon his release from prison
Wolfe walked to Columbus, where, with
his prison gained knowledge OF manu-
featuring shoes by machinery, he began
the repairing Of shoes. He prospered
immensely as is evidenced by the fact
that he is now rated as a millionaire.

Duped a Millionaire.

In the elegant home of Werner q.
Reed, the millionaire mine owner of

Mr.. Reed OF the price paid by that gen.
tleman for the first lesson in learning
the valuation Of an expert critics opin-
ion when 1t comes to purchasing fam
GUS picture. Tho price paid for the pic
ture was only about $4,000 and the mill
ionaire no doubt considers the painting
a very "cheap" one.
1t all came about in this way. When
Mr.. Reed was in London last year he
bought painting entitled 1.-The Courier
OF the Emperor" which the art dealer
swors vas the original painting, but
which turned out to be only copy Of
the original which, as Mr.. Reed has
since learned from A. de Melville, the
artist who painted it, hangs in the pri-
vate gallery of wealthy Partisan and is

Big Ohio Reservoir Bursts.

East Liverpool, O.. Oct. 13.--A city

score of people had narrow escapes
The reservoir was located 500 feet
above the pumping station. on the high
est hill in the city. 1t was only COM
pleted few days ago and water was
turned into it for the first time this
morning. Tho basin was filled to it's
utmost capacity, and resulted in the
walls giving way. Only a small number
OF houses are located on the hillside be-
tween the reservoir and the city proper. !.
When the wall collapsed the water shot
down the incline with mighty roar.
The noise warned the occupants Of the
endangered houses, who rushed to a
place OF safety in time to save them
selves. A party Of children were play
ing in road directly in the path OF the
torrent, and, though caught by q portion
OF the rushing water, we're rescued be-

FAREWELL SERMON.
Rev. Ward Prearhes to a Large
Lage Congregation. Ills Co.
ing Matter of Regret
Among MANY.

Rev. G. E. B. Ward. who for the past
several years has been pastor of the
First Presbyterian church OF this CITY,
preached his farewell sermon as pastor
OF the church yesterday.
In the morning there was quito large
attendance of the members of the con-
gregation.
has been quite successful and great
number OF his congregation view his 60
ing with'regret. He is one of the most
finished scholars that has ever occupied
the pulpit OF that church, and his ser
mons were always we'll thought produc-
tions upon scriptural subjects. He has
been classsd, during his pastorate here,
as one Of the foremost ministers Of the
city.
During his pastorate the church edi.
fee was destroyed by fire and was 7e-
built upon larger and moro acceptable
plan. 1t 10 at present one Of the finest
church structures in the city.
There have been received into the
church, during the three years of his
pastorate, ITO members, and at present
the church roster contains the names
Of about It's members
When he took charge of the church
its membership footed up to about rs.
A source Of qualification to Rev. Ward
is that he leaves the church when it is in
a prosperous condition, the church in
debtedness being all paid and only a
slight current indebtedness still owing.
Rev. Ward has had an urgent invita-
ton to accept the pastorate of a large
congregation at Pueblo. he for a
time considered accepting same, but he
has concluded not to accept the kind in
vitation. he will 60 from here to Fort
Morgan, one OF his first pastorates, and
visit there among friends for several
weeks, and will likely visit his father, at
Emporia, Kansas, before deciding fully
what work he will accept.
Rev. Ward was graduated from Prince
ton Seminary, one, il not the foremost
theological college Of the Presby terian
church in America. There the great
Alexandra were taught and became
among the foremost theologuss OF this or
any other country.
The Sentinel regards Rev. Wards de.
parture with regret, but predicts for him
a brilliant future, in some larger work to
which he will undoubtedly be called.
