LANCASTER New ERA. Dec. 8, 1902.

The closing month of the year. in it's
beginning, at least, is holding it's own
pretty we'll. While the sales are not
very large, they are, nevertheless, very
fair, and are rounding out the business
year in pretty good style. OF course,
business does not come alike to all at the,
same time, but in the end there is not
much to complain Of The sales that
have been brought to our notice are as
follows: I.H. Weaver sold 159cs, divided
between 1900 and 1901 goods; Isaac
Mayer sold 1OOcs; B. f. Good & Co. sold
215cs and bought 184cs, and these were
also in part 1900 and 1901 goods, and
John ID. Skiles sold 100cs and bought
75; in all. 833cs. For the corresponding
week of last year the sales were 1918cs.
A good many buyers have been in the
field, hunting out what remains of the
present years crop. The largest buyer
is one of the great trusts; which, until
recently had not been doing much in
this locality Now, however, it's agents
are busy, and what is left in farmers
hands is finding market at full figures.
1t looks as if very little will be unbought
when the new year comes along, except
the hail-cut, of which there might be
perhaps 4, 600 or 5000 cases.
The following are some recent sales
around Washington Borough to the
American Tobacco Co.: Benjamin c..
Young, ga seedleaf at 3&2; Benjamin r.
Walk, "a seedleaf at 915&2c; Harvey
Brush, "a seedleaf at 91a&2c.
John D. Skiles bought the 14-acre
crop grown on Senator Quay's farm, at
10 cents through.
..s.... e e. :.
1t is reported that, owing to the enor-
nous success of the Florodora Tag Com
pany's recent estimating contest, that
another will be started shortly after the
close of ar, which will make the
first effort looa ike the proverbial thirty
cents. 1t is said that the new contest
will concern the output ct cigars for
one OF the summer months, possibly
August, and that the aggregate value of
the prizes will greatly exceed the $142,-
500 offered in the first scheme. As at
present planned, the capital prize is to
be $4,000 in cash. and the retailer who
is skilful or fortunate enough to win it
need not fear the encroachments of the
price cutters for several years to come.

The packers of New England tobacco
seem to be spending more time watch
ing each other than buying the new
crop. 1t looks now as if the buyers in
tended giving the growers plenty of time
to get acquainted with their tobacco.
Still, you can never tell. 1t requires
only move on the part of one of the big
fellows to set the whole buying machine
in motion, and that may happen at any
time, Notwithstanding the statements
that have been volunteered in certain
high quarters that there will be nothing
doing until the tobacco had sufficient
age to speak for itself.

The statement which has been dis
seminated that the Healani Boat Club

partly correct as the following cores

the prOffer in the spirit i'm which 1t was
made, the equivalent money value for

In Washington

Washington, Oct. THE executive
council Of the American Federation
of Labor began a weeks session here
Monday.
The report OF the secretary and

Grafton Of Labor TO be in excellent
condition; that an increase OF more
thun 200 900 members has been gained
in the last four months; that the of

Reports were received from various
organizations indicating their prog
ress and growth, the most interesting
report being that of the miners, stat
ing that the situation of the strike is
fairly good, and urging further con-
tributions to maintain the families of
the men on strike.
The international Longshoremen's
association made application for
new charter under the name of Inter
national Longshoremen, Marine and

America. lnasmuch as this would cx-
tend its jurisdiction to trades and
occupations already organized. and
which organizations have protested
against the change in title and juris-
diction. the executive council decided
to recommend TO the convention of
the federation at New Orleans. in
November next. that a special com
mittee be appointed to consider the
entire matter.
In regard 10 the controversy be-
tween the Chicago Federation Of La
Dor and the Chicago typographical

that the union be required 10 elect

Way 10 81. louis, Hut on hemch-

st. Charles, Mo-, Oct. 7.-Albert
Rpge, aged 81, former member OF
the st. Charles city Council, disap-
peared from a ferryboat between st.

found on the boat j. L. Gates, on
which il is known that he left the
ST. Charles landing. No one saw him
leap into the river. and he was not
missed until his garments were
found.
DIR. j. +. Bruere, who had started
with him on an intended visit TO 81.
Louis, identified the coat and hat.
Mr.. Runge was being taken to st.

for nervous trouble. He had been
under Dr. Bruere's care for several
years, and the family physician had
recommended that he seek the atten-
tion of specialist.
After the boat left the bank. at sew
en- o'clock, DR.. Bruere lost sight of
his companion. and was conyersng
with a party of ladies on the front
deck.
When the south landing was
reached, the man whose duty il is to
lay the gangplank brought Mr..
Runge's hat and coat. asking il they
belonged to anyone on board.
A search for the missing owner OF
the garments was at once commenced,
but he was not TO be found on the
boat.
DR. Bruere says that his patient had
been worrying over the recent death
of his father from consumption and
the fear that he might become vic
tim of the same disease. This, added
to the nervous trouble. had, he said,
affected Mr.. Runge's mind.
Mr.. Runge was one OF the best
known citizens Of ST. Charles. He

p. Sargent, commissioner Of immigra-
ton. and for many years chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
had a long interview with President
Roosevelt and left Washington very
soon afterwards. Mr.. Sargent indi-
Gated that the interview concerned
the coal strike, but he would not dis
cuss the matter. From the fact that
he always has been influential with
labor organizations. il was believed
that he is intrusted with a message
to President Mitchell Of the miners
union. 1t is also said that Mr.. Sar-
gent is 20 meet Mr.. Mitchell in Phila-
delphia and deliver the message Of
the president urging that the miners
end the strike in the interest OF the
public. While many propositions
have been under discussion il is al
most certain that the administration
is taking up only one plan at time.
The present plan is that outlined in
the dispatches Saturday and Sunday,
and contemplates an end Of the strike

west, was operating against Brown
force. located northeast of st. Mary's.
Kas. The Blues were depending upon
the Union Pacific railroad for sup
plies. The main Blue force beyond st.
Mary's was supposed to have met
with n serious reverse. and had been
temporarily thrust of its line of di-
rect communication with Fl. Riley.
Maj. Leach. of the engineers. com
handed the force which was guarding
an important depot of supplies at
Fort Riley Because of the reverse
10 the Blues beyond st. Mary's assist
ance could not be counted upon. and
he was compelled TO make his fight
alone against strong force OF
Browns advancing via Stockdale upon
TT. Riley. His position was strength
ened by hasty intrenchments. there
being no time for elaborate de-
lenses.
The force under Maj. Leach consist
ed Of the Sixth infantry. the first bat
talon Of engineers, acting as infan-
try. Troop a, Of the Eighth cavalry,
and the Sixth and Twenty-eighth bat
