RIVER FRONT COAL MEN
TAKE ENCOURAGING VIEW
Believe That Coal Strike Will Soon Be
Settled and Old Prices
Re-esta blished.

It is cheering to hear certain coal
dealers with headquarters on the river
front talk concerning the great strike
Of miners. and the possible effect 1t will
have on consumers here. At the yards
OF Stephenson Brothers. there is a con-
fident feeling that the controversy be-
tween operators and their employees 10
nearing an end. and that within the next
two months coal will be on hand in
plentiful supply. This. in the face of the
gloomy outlook that has confronted con-
sumers. is encouraging. However, ii is
said that not a pound of Pennsylvania
coal has been received by this frm in
four months, and others have shared
likewise.
There is limited supply Of coal in the
bins of some retailers. which is being
sold in small quantities. ranging in
price from 81 to $40 per ton
One dealer yesterday prophesied that
normal prices will be re-estabiished
within short time.

TRIALS WERE MANY BUT

Addison Coleman and Susie Smoot,
Both Colored, Married After Long
Postponement.

Addison Coleman. colored. was man
with much trouble on his mind yesterday
when he entered the ONCE of the clerk

getting married. He determined last
winter to take unto himself a help

a very happy man. but before the sun
went down lie was a patient at Freed :

received in an accident on the dredging

Hardly had he recovered from his In
jrries than he was attacked by typhoid

that he was discharged from the hospital
as cured.
Yesterday morning he and his bride
elect talked the matter svcr and they
decided that the long postponed cere-
mony should take place last night at
Rehoboth Baptist Church.
AS a matter Of precaution Coleman
decided to visit the City Hall and learn
if the license he secured in December
vas Still good. On his way to the
clerks Office. however. he lost the IL
cense. He asked Assistant Clerk Frank
w. Smith If he could secure a copy ard
ii it would suffice. He was informed
that he could and that ii would answer.
