A Big Goal Combine Being Con-
sumated.
Charleston Gazette, '14th.
The preliminary steps to one of
the biggest coal combines in the
world were taken in this city last
night and to-day, and by the end
of the week the major part of the
deal and details incidental to it will
have been completed. AS has been
published in The Gazette, John w.
Gates, the steel king, is at the head
of this combine, but the steps TIA
ken in this city were by Hon. ID. a.
Nease and his associates.
Mr.. Nease last night closed a
deal with the Carkin Coal Co., for
the purchase of its large tract of
coal land, and the property has
been transferred to Mrs. Eugenia
Nease, the wife of ID. A. Nease,
who will hold the title until the
new company has been formed and
chartered. The Carkin lands lie
above the city, on the Kanawha
river, and extends through to the
Davis Creek fields.
The Carkin property consists of
$3.50 acres of what is, perhaps, the
best coal land in the State, and
mines upon it are already in oper-
alton. The transfer of this prop
erty was made last night, and the
price paid is said to be $150,OOO.
The cash has already been paid for
the property and the transfer made
to Mrs. Nease, as stated.
It is also known that Mr.. Nease
and his associates have about com
pleted deal for the Marmet inter
ests in the Kanawha-New River
fields, and the transfer of this i'm
mense property will be made to-
night or in the morning. This
sale will include the Kanawha q
Coal River Railroad, which has
already been made, and Mr.. Nease
has been made the president of the
Dad.
The new combination has taken
an option on the terminals of the
Marmet Company, i'll Cincinnati,
and will close the deal for them at
once. AS soon as this is done, and
the new company is organized ac-
cording to law, it will put large
fleet of tow boats in the Kanawha
and Ohio rivers and ship their pro-
duct direct to the Cincinnati and
Southern markets.
They have already secured ter
minals in New Orleans and will
make ample provision for foreign
shipments. To facilitate matters
at the mines, the railroad just pur-
chased by them will extend to the
extreme end of their properties and
mako feeder to the feet of the
tow boats.
The Marmet property which the
Gates Nease people are buying con-
sists of $500 or 5000 acres of coal
lands lying on the Big and Little
Coal rivers. It is valuable proper
ty and upon il, too, are mines al
ready in operation. The price for
this property is said to be $125,OOO.
Judge j. B. Q. Drew of New
York and Charleston, is also here
and is representing his company,
j. Van Vechten and others. This
company possesses about 10000
acres of land in the Coal river fields,
and it is given on good authority
that this property is to go into the
new combine at handsome figure.
The principals in the deal are
still in the city and will remain
here until the sales have oil been
contaminated and the transfers of
the properties made.

Brutal Murder Done in
Trumbull County.
MAN KILLS HIS Wife
But, Unfortunately, Was Not as
Good q Marks m AZ When He
Turned the Gun on
Himself.

Warren, o., July 2.-Another murder
was committed in Trumbull county
Monday. Rollin Hawkins, forty years
of age, farmer living near Newton
Falls, shot his wife dead and then turn
ed the revolver on himself. His aim
in the latter case was poor and the bull
let glanced from his skull just above his
temple. Hawkins is now in Jail at
Newton Falls and will recover.
The first known of the crime was
when the two children of the couple
ran crying to a neighbor's house. /, 1t
appears that Hawkins and his wife
quarreled and threw glasses at each
other while sitting at the table. Mrs.
Hawkins later lay down on couch and
her husband coming up from behind
shot her through the back of the head.
Jealousy was probably the cause. Haw-
kins q few months ago sued for di-
vorce, naming a Newton Falls man as
correspondent The couple later settled
the difference. The dead woman was
Hawkins's second wife.

Legal Battle on Between Deposed Pedasosues and

PAY FOR TEN MONTHS ASKED IN A PETITION
Files Action Behalf Of r. c. Walker That
Said q Test Case and Successful Is BE Followed
by Number of Others--Law Under Which Il Is Hoped
Recoverable Probable Defense Board.

IL passed which states that contracts
with teachers may be terminated at
any time by the board upon the rec
ommendation of the superintendent
of instruction.
Attorney Burris states that the
right to hire teachers for a term of
two years has been
SETTLED TIME AND AGAIN
in the courts, and that it is done fire.
quently, as in the case of superintend-
ent in this city this year.
The law, he says, under which Mr..
Walker expects to recover, is that
which provides that boards of educa-
ton may dismiss teachers at any time
for inefficiency, neglect of duty, i'm
morality or improper conduct The
dismissal Of the teacher is part Of the
business of the board and must be
done at a regular meeting, and the
reasons therefor spread upon the min,
utes.
In this case it is claimed that no
reasons are given in the minutes, ex-
cept that it was upon the recommend
alton of the superintendent of instruc-
ton.
In the comments on the school laws,
in the volume sent out by tie state
school commissioner, it is stated that
some boards try to
HIDE BEHIND A RESOLUTION
or rule which allows the dismissal of
teachers at any time, but this con-
dition in a contract with employees
for specified time is null and void.
The statutes name the four causes
for which an appointee may be dismiss
ed. A rule of the board cannot over
ride state law"
There were a number Of others who
were dropped from the list of teachers
at the same time, and it understood
that Mr.. Walkers case will be made
a test, and if he is able to recover,
Others will also commence actions
for damages by reason Of the annulling
of the contracts.
Mr.. Walker, not being able to Sc
cure employment after his dismissal,
has been studying medicine during
the past year.
