UP TO FREEZING PRICES
ALL KINDS OF FUEL SCARCE AND
HIGH AT NEW YORK.
Anthracite Quoted at $15 Ton, and
Kindling Wood $I2 a Cord.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The coal shortage
reached an acute stage to-day. The price
of soft coal jumped to IS ton, $3.50 more
than the price Wednesday and three times
as much as before the strike began. The
quoted price of hard coal was s15 but it
was merely nominal, as there was absolute
ly none to be had at any price. The price
Of wood followed coal. Kindling wood SELL
ing a few days ago at $40 a cord to-day
brought s12. Practically a complete fuel
famine exists.
Consumers throughout the city postponed
laying in supply of coal, believing the
strike would be settled and prices fall.
Dealers assert the supply of anthracite in
the city is not 10 per cent. of the demand
and that the present supply of soft coal
is hardly Is per cent. of the demand.
The park department is seriously embar-
rassed. Ten days ago contracts were ad-
vertised for and to-day only one bid was
found and that was for 200 tons of pea coal
at ss.75 per ton, which was quickly accepted
conference of the representatives of
principal charitable organizations of the
city will be held in few days to con-
slider the situation. Many of the organiza-
tions made contracts for coal, but as these
contain strike clause no supplies will be
forthcoming. In former seasons the So
ciety for Relieving the Condition of the
Poor, the United Hebrew Charities and the
ST. Vincent De Paul Society have distribut-
ed about 1900 tons of coal each, a total of
5000. The charitable workers estimate that
they may have to provide ten or twenty
times the amount of coal they have given
away in former winters.
Two steamers with total carrying ca
pacity of about 1900 tons have been char
tered for the purpose of carrying cargoes
of Welsh anthracite coal from Swansea TO
the United States. Prices of Welsh anthra-
cite reported to range from So to IS

Democrats Torn Into Factions Over
Representative Nomination.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind. Sept. 26-There is strife
in the ranks of the Democratic party In Ma
rion and Grant counties. The cause of the
trouble is the recent resignation OF Dr.
Brose s. Horne as a candidate for represent
ative. The news of DIR. Horne's resignation
was published first in an independent news
paper. This secured for him the enmity OF
the party organ, Dr. Horne says. and the
editor of the latter made personal attack
on him. A few days after DR.. Horne an
nounced his resignation, the Democratic
chairman talked the matter over with him,
as did several other committeeman. All de-
sired him TO reconsider. This he did, and on
Tuesday announced that he would make
the race. The faction of the party con-
trolled by the party organ. however, alleged
that Horne was not a good Democrat, and
advanced the name of DR.. F. A. Priest for
the place. special meeting of the COM
mittee was held this morning, and the name
of Dr. Priest was placed on the ticket. The
factions are now at swords points.

MIR. BEvERIDGE SPEAKS.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HUNTINGTON, Ind, Sept. 26.-The Re-
publican campaign in this city was opened
auspiciously tonight by Senator Beveridge.
There was not a foot of unoccupied space
in the opera house. Main floor, gallery,
stage were filled with enthusiastic Repub-
licans, who followed with intense interest
every utterance of the speaker. The speech
was defense of Republican principles
and policies and protest against the
destructive purposes of the Democracy.
The attitude of the Republican party as to
trusts was declared to be national supervi-
sion of every corporation organized in the
United States. The Republican issue has
a remedy for trust evils he said. while
Democracy would destroy the whole indus
trial fabric of the country. Reciprocity
and expansion were discussed and the Phil
ippines were declared blessed by the pro-
lection the American republic gives them
The senator was in fine voice, and his
convincing logic was driven home with
splendid force and eloquent periods The
great audience was stirred TO repeated out
bursts of cheering and applause and the
speech impaired an impetus that promises
an active and enthusiastic campaign.

ANOTHER Big COMBINE"
SOUTHERN SPINNING AND WEAVING
MILLS TO BE CONSOLIDATED.
Concerns with a Cash Capital of S20,.
100000 Have Already Agreed to
the Plan, 1t Is Said.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 26-The
Record tomorrow will say: 1.-THE project
to consolidate so per cent. of the spinning
and weaving mills in the South under the
control of holding corporation has finally
materialized and it announced yes
terday by one of the managers of the enter
prise that the Fries plan had been adopted
by enough of the Southern mills to guaran-
tee the success of the proposition. The
cash capital involved in the enterprise now
amounts to SIS 100000. This will be increased
as fast as additional mills come into the
combination. Nearly all the largest and
most important of the modern spinning and
weaving mills in the South are interested
in the project, and those that have not
already signed options will do so as soon
as the stockholders of the several COM
panies can be brought together to ratify
agreements already made by the accredited
representatives.
'Philadelphians directly concerned in the
enterprise yesterday confirmed the well-au-
thenticated reports received from the South
as to the adoption of the Fries plan. but
they declined to give out list of the mills
actually acquired. They stated that the
control of the proposed holding corporation
would be vested in representative mill men
of the South. The executive officers of
the holding company will also be Southern
mill men.
''The directory of the new company will
include several Philadelphia men who are
prominently identified with the cotton trade.
as well as a number of cotton men actively
engaged in the trade in New York Boston
and the New England market. The finan-
cial institutions directly concerned i'm the
enterprise will also have representatives on
the board OF directors. The mill owners
themselves, however. will control the hold
ing corporation under the operation of the
voice in the directory, as well as all the
bonds and preferred stock issued by the
holding corporation. All the men directly
in charge of the mills will be representative
