IN HIS OWN PYRB.
Believed That Bridgeport Man Sui

Believed That Bridgeport Man Sui. cided in a Most Unusual Manner
 Bridgeport, Aug 30.-A tragedy is reported from Easton in which the vic tim is Sylvanus Mallett, a wealthy farmer residing about eleven miles north of this city, on the road north of the Easton Baptist church. The story as it first came to this city con tained some rather sensational fea- lures, which by investigation prove not to have been exaggerated.
 About 4 o'clock yesterday morning MT Mallett awoke his wife and asked her the time. She told him, and he arose, telling her to remain in bed until 6 before she arose to prepare break fast. He then dressed and went out, to go into the barn for a time. Mrs Mallett thought nothing strange of this, as it was customary with him to do so. and she soon fell asleep. At
 about 6:15 Perry Wallen, aged 9, of
 this city, who is stopping for the sum- l mer in the neighborhood, and who was bicycling to Bridgeport, saw flames is suing from the Mallett barn and gave l the alarm, arousing Mrs Mallett, who at once endeayored to summon her husband by firing two revolver shots, a signal agreed upon between them
 when she wished to call him to the l house from the fields.
 No response came to the summons, however, and Mir Mallett did not ap- pear. The method in which the flames originated had every evidence of human I intention, the flames appearing on both l sides of the barn, apparently having
 been purposely set by some one. As
 MT Mallett is missing, the theory Is
 that he had set the fire himself, and
 then entering the barn, had perished in I the flames.

SORROW IN EVERGREEN.
The People Loved and Trusted the
 Dead Governor.

Evergreen, June Especial. )-When The Advertiser reached here yesterday morning with the news of Governor Samford's death, a gloom was cast oyer the entire community The people had faith in him, they loved and honored him as true patriot and d Christian gentleman. They felt that machine politics would be at a discount so long as he was at the helm, and they were anxious to see him serve out his term but such was not to be.
 Monday night about II o'clock the residence of Mir. | II. Stamps, the night marshal of Evergreen was de- atroyed by fire. The blaze was so sud den and unexpected that nothing was saved, It is not known how the fire originated.
 MT. Julius Posey. the Louisville and Nashville brakeman, who was recently shot at CaStleberry by a negro, was here this week, accompanied by his bride of d few days. He came for the purpose of seeing the negro who has been held here on suspicion. He fully identified him as his assailant. The negro's name is George Harris.

COAL PRODUCTION.
Last Year Beats the Rccord-Ala-
 bama Gains Eleven Per Cant.

Last Year Beats the Record-Ala-
 bama Gains Eleven Per Cant. Washington Special.
 Retmns just completed by the geo. logical survey show that all records were broken in the production of coal in the United States in 1900 and this country still leads the coal producing counties of the world. The total out put of coal in 1900 was 267. $40 900 short tons, an increase over the preceding year of 13,S00.000 tons or a little over per cent.
 Thc value of this product was $297,- 920, ,000, an increase over 1899 of $4l ,845,- GOO or about 16 ger cent. The value of the coal product in 1900 on board cars at the mines was equal to nearly one | third of the value of the total mineral product of the United States in 1899. There were only three States whose coal product in 1900 was less than that of 1899. These were Maryland, Oregon, and Idaho. The last Is insignificant, having an output of only twenty tons in 1899 with no reported product in 1900.
 Owing to the strike in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania in the fall oi 1900 the production of anthracite coal decreased about 3,000.000 long tons, the product being in 1900. 50,9SS,9s2 long tons, against 3,944,6 long tons in 1899 This decrease was more than made up for by an increase of nearly 5,500,0OC short tons (about 4,900, 900 long tons) in the output of bi:uminous coal in the | State. .
 The largest increase in tonnage was made in West Virginia, that State ex- ceeding a total of %. 0.000, 900 tons for the | first time. The next largest gain was in Ohio, where 2,605.13S short tons were added to the product of the previous I year The net gain in Pennsylvania amounted to 2150.000 short tons. Ala | bama is credited with a gain of 6OO,OOC tons or about Il per cent.
 I The most notable comparative gains were made in Arkansas. the Indian Ter rltory, Michigan and Utah. In 1896 1 Michigan produced less thaH 100 DOC tons. and the production of that State had not averaged So.O00 tons per year up to that time. Since then, however the Michigan fields have been devel- oped and production has increased rap idly until it reached a total of S50,06t tons in 1900, a gain of about 35 per cent over 1899 which in turn was nearly double that of 1898.
 Prior to 1899 Great Britain was the leading coal producing country of the world. but in that year the United States took first place. The production of Great Britain in 1SG0 amounted tC 225. 17016 long tons. or 252. 2.190.5I3 short tons, compared with which the United States has a lead of 15, 900 short tons, or just double that of the preced- ing year,

SOME CLIPPINGS.
New Walking Method.

An explanation or why the modern child Is well set up," as West Point CTS call it, is founG !n the fact that the mode of walking is taught quite differently from that advocated gen eration ago, says an exchange. Chil- dren used to be bid ito turn out their toes." and city tots were bid set their feet right and left according to the an glcs set in the brick sidewalk paving.
 But the physical culture superim- posed on up-to-date schools thinks otherwise on the subject. At the girls
 school the little maids are taught to
 walk with their feet straight, one go- ing ahead and the toes not turned right or left. Instead of throwing out child is expected to keep the body up-
 right. not to swing from side to side,
 but to go ahead. The teacher frowns down the old idea of turning out the | toes. She does not want her pupils to
 lurch from side to side, but to pro- gress forward.
 It is the same story at the boys private schools. The trainer" usually
 college graduate who looks over the
 little boys in search of promising ma terial for the track team" which is to bring glory upon the institution in the yearly interacademic contests, gives them sundry suggestions. He is quick to detect any error of physical development and he bids the boy place i his feet straight ahead, instead of
 swaying from side to side.
 No time is lost in walking straight ahead. You cover the ground faster
 than if you sway from side to side.
