Special % The Spy.
Clinton, Dec. 19.-The fire which con-
sumed the large livery stable in the rear
of the Clinton House Thursday was
caused by the explosion of a small oil
stove which was in the office at the rear
of the west side of the barn. The stove
was used for heating the sleeping apart
ments of the hostIers.
A rigid investigation made this morn
ing by representatives of the many fire
insurance companies, proves that no
other cause for the confagration can be
found other than the explosion of the
stove. The losses are large and Murphy
Brothers, lessees of the barn, are almost
ruined, as their loss for horses and car
riages alone amounts to $4,000 The insur-
ance on the property will not cover one
third of the loss.
The barn, which was the property of
Henry MCGrath of Fitchburg, is com
petely destroyed and Mr.. McGrath esti-
mates his loss at $500, which is partly
covered by insurance. William c. Glynn,
owner of three of the fastest trotters on
the New England circuit, is almost heart
broken over the loss Of his trOtters He
estimates his loss at between $500 and
5000. Mr. Glynn stated tonight that S10,
600 could not purchase his string of trOt-
ters, which includes Ruth Leyburn, 2:20A,
for which he paid $780, Ella T., 2:oSlA,
and Acme, a promising colt. Acme Gov
cred a mile on the Hartford track last
July in 2:12. This colt was valued at
$500. Not one cents worth Of insurance
was held by Mr.. Glynn.

HUGE COAL TRUST.
Will Embrace tho Soft Coal Mines
in Six States.
The y. p. Morgan Syndicate Is Said to-
Plan Combine that Will be the
Equal of tho United states
steel Corporation i'm Point
of Magnitude.

Pittsburg, Sept. 4.-The Post says:
All the bituminous coal mining COM
panies of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, West Virginia and Ken
lucky are to be consolidated into one
great corporation by the j. p. Nor
gan syndicate. The enormous pro-
portions of this corporation can hard
ly be realized. The fact that the
Pittsburg Coal Co., with it's capital of
$64, 900, and the Monongahela Riv-
er Consolidated Coal and Coke Co..
with its capital of $30,000,000, are to
tion brings the matter strongly be-
fore Pittsburg coal operators.
The railroads are taking keen in
terest in the project and owing to the
Morgan interests predominating in
that field, the consolidation is looked
upon as being unusually strong. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Co., the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad Co. and west
ern roads under the Morgan infiu-
ence are associated, it is said. in the
great movement which promises to
rival in it's importance the recent or
ganization of the United States Steel
Corporation.
nois are in form for the final move.
In Kentucky the plan is still in an
| embryotic state, but a company has
been planned with a capital of $1O,-
| 100000 to take up all the coal mines
there. The West Virginia fields are
| perhaps the most difficult TO handle,
owing to their location and varied
ownerships. I'll is said that the pro-
moters have practically abandoned
the plan of including the Pocahontas
field in the general plan for the great
| er trust.
Mr.. Bacon, one of the partners of
Mr.. Morgan, has been spending sew
eral weeks in West Virginia during
| the past summer and early last
| spring, getting options on much coal
property, and included in this was
much undeveloped coal land in that
state. The total holdings in that
state are said to be very large, and
aside from the Pocahontas fields and
THAT portion in the Flat Top region
embrace about all the available lands
and much that will be held in reserve
for years.
The completion of this great pro-
ject will mean the consolidation OF
from $200,000,000 to $300,000,000 of
invested capital. This will represent
not only the undeveloped properties
in the six states, but also the actual
coal properties under development.
There are millions of acres of coal
lands that the trust will hold in re-
serve for future use, while its present
working properties will be sufficient
for a vast increase in the development
of the coal trade, not only in this
country but in South American coun-
tries and in Europe.

IS EXPELLED.
French Government Orders Munir
hey, Turkish Ambassador to
France to Leave the Country.

Paris, Sept. 3.-The result of Munir
Bey, the Turkish ambassador to
France, coming to Paris, in spite of
the rupture of Franco-Turkish rela-
tions and holding a fete, in the most
open way at the Turkish embassy in
honor of the anniversary of the sui
tan's accession to the throne, has
been that the French government
sent him request to leave France
Immediately, and Munir Bey departed
for Switzerland Sunday evening.
NJ. Constans, the French ambassa-
dor to Turkey, had another confer
ence with the French foreign minis
ter NJ. Delcasse, Monday. The gov
ernment of France is determined to
compel Turkey to fulfill her entire
obligations. Unless the sultan yields
shortly he will find the bill against
him increased by number of other
outstanding claims of Frenchmen,
which will make an appreciable addi-
ton to the sum now demanded.
1t is rumored that naval division
will be ordered to 'Slrkish waters to-
day. Munir Bey will only return to
Paris against the wishes of the
French government unless the dis
pute is settled.
