INCREASED COAL OUTPUT
Most OF ANY Day Since Resumption
Miners Want Siding Scale bolis he

Nilkesbarre. Pa, Nov. 3.-The output of
coal in the anthracite region to-day was
larger than any day since the colieries re-
sumed operation. The volume of coal go
ing to other than home markets is also
larger Last week local dealers in the coal
towns would not accept orders for imme-
date delivery. Orders were booked three
and four days ahead. Now the home con-
sumers Of hard coal are pretty well sup
piled and this allows heavier tonnage to
so to other markets.
President Mitchell's protest against the
sliding scale as filed with the Investigate
ing commission meets with the approval
of all the miners. At strike headquarters
the opinion is that the readoption of the
sliding scale would be a step backward
and instead of the miners gaining any
thing by their strike they would be the
| losers.

A SIDERABLE BALLOON
French Inventors Have Succeeded In
Making One.

Paris, Nov, SIT has been known for
some time past that the Brothers Lee
baudy and an engineer named Julliot have
been constructing a Siderable balloon, but
such secrecy has been observed that little
or nothing has been published about the
new flying machine.
The first trial of the new machine took
place yesterday near Bonnieres, where the
arship WAS constructed, The balloon
assembled to "A height of about twenty
yards with two persons in the car, 1t was
held down by ropes, and the motor drove
the airship against a stiff breeze. After
maneouvres lasting half an hour, during
which several circuits of the park where
the experiment was conducted were made
the airship was replaced in its shed. En-
gineer Julliot, who had charge of the
motor. said he was completely satisfied
with the test but declined to be inter
viewed
The Iebaudy balloon is similar
in appearance to, but twice the
size Of, those of NJ Santos Dumont.
1t is 6iis yards long and IL yards in dame
ter, he car is 5le yards long and can
hold three persons. The propeller lis
driven by motor of 10 horse power.
The owners of the new arshp are anx-
ious t. avoid publicity concerning II until

til a late hour this evening. An imposing
array of counsel appeared on both sides.
The facts in a nutshell are. that when this
road, running from Bethel to Rochester.
was in the hands of receiver it was
brought by Messrs. William Parker and
stiles, who now ask for an act of incorpo
ration. Land owners in Bethel Stock
bridge and Rochester whose property was
taken for a right of way and who now
have unpaid claims against the road ag
gr"gating $4,000 ask to have section put
in this bill making these claims preferred
claims. As the bill was originally passed
these claimants have small chance of ever
getting their money.
THE FARMERS HOLD MEETING
Tho farmers of the legislature held an
inforal meeting in the court room this
evening at which DR.. l.. G. Wakefield of
Montpelier spoke in favor of the tuber-
culn test, and in favor of continuing the
cattle commission.
House bill 81 providing for licensing en-
cineers or portable engines and creamery
engines was discussed somewhat at
length. The sentiment expressed was
strongly against the bill on the ground
that such law would he burdensome and
, unnecessary. The question of posting
trout brooks was also discussed and the
opinion was freely expressed that existing
laws should be SO amended that farmers
can post brooks running through their
lands whether or not they have been
stocked at private expense and that all
trespassers shall be severely punished.
