One Week.
LUDLOW, MASS, October 6.-(special.)
A comedy of errors resulted in the mar
riage of Miss Minnie Raybold, of Ludlow,
to William Margoulis, of Southbridge,
four times within a week
On Monday of last week the groom pro-
cured marriage license from the South
bridge town clerk, and with his bride
journeyed by trolley to Thompsonville.
Conn, where the first marriage ceremony
was performed.
Mr. and Mrs. Margouis were busily
engaged in receiving congratulations a few
evenings later, when the arrival of the
clergyman who married them was an
nounced. He asked permission to per-
form the ceremony over again, stating
that he had learned that he had no au-
thority to marry in Connecticut without
license issued in that State.
Mr.. and Mrs Margoulis were not a little
surprised the following day to receive an
other visit from the Connecticut clergy
man. who created dismay by stating that
third ceremony would be needed to make
the knot fast, as he had no authority to
perform marriages in Massachusetts,.
After this Mr.. and Mrs. Margoulis decid-
ed to cut loose from the Connecticut
dominic. They procured a second license
and had the ceremony again performed.

Superintendent Brooke. For eleven years
the Office here has employed one operator
besides the superintendent and clerk. and
two messenger boys. This force has man
aged to keep up the work, though there
has been a general increase of business
ca oh year. Since the long distance system
was inaugurated the competition has been
very great and extra vigilance and
promptness has been necessary which has
kept all the employees busy from A. n.

Much complaint is made that the Office
is not kept open later at night and the
hope was expressed that the general
superintendent would put on another man
and make this desirable Improvement
1t takes the entire time of the two
operators to look after the wires and of
the messenger boys to attend to their
duties. This leaves no one to attend to

SOFT COAL SQUEEZE.
Even This Grade of Fuel May Come
at Top-Notch Figures.

There is a possibility of a squeeze in
the local soft-coal market Yesterday, it
was said on good authority. that there
was practically no coal in sight east of
Clifton Forge: and owing to the many
excursion trains on the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway. IL was not an assured fact
that coal further west would at once
come through. Some of the breweries and
other large coal-consuming concerns are
known to be short of fuel: SO that should
few of the cars now held up come within
a day or SO. these will be taken at once
by parties who have already purchased.
While lump coal is still being retailed
at 81 a ton. the wholesale dealers We're
asking yesterday Sc for run of mine in
Richmond. provided any came in. The
quotation does not stand. however. and
the price of soft coal in the future will
be fixed daily by the market-that is.
the purchaser will be asked the market
price on the day that the car leaves the
mines. They protect themselves in this
way, and state that the buyer, should he
object to the arbitrary figure, has the
privilege Of cancelling the order.
1T is now probable that retail dealers
an the future will have to pay a stiff price
for the coal. and the retail price for this
reason is expected, before the week is
out to advance 81, and. perhaps. 81. In
the West and North. coal is bringing enor-
NOUS prices, and the wholesale men and
mine operators will divert much coal that
otherwise would come to this market, and
send it where better prices are paid. In
New York, 1t is said. the price wholesale
was $40 alongside ships. AS the coal agen-
cies here can place soft coal in New York
for about $685. in freight and incidental
expenses. 1t leaves a margin of S7.65 for
coal at the mines. AS Richmond is pay
ing wholesale in the naighborhood of but
81 and S. at the mines. it is likely little
will come here.
The situation is undoubtedly serious.
Some believe that coal at Sc wholesale
is as high as it will go here. 1t is known,
however. that $40 a ton was offered yes
ierday for coal on an immediate delivery,
which offer was turned down because no
coal was available in cars.
There is no occasion for panic, a large
coal dealer was known to say, but the
people, if they want the fuel, will have
10 go down into their pockets and pay the
price. Richmond, in few days. can
nave a steady supply Of the black mineral,
Il they will pay for it as do other mar
kets

Opened on New Tack.

NEW ORLEANS, La. October 6.-After
withdrawing his order, of last night, stat
ing that the New Orleans Railway Com
pany must resume their schedules. Mayor
Capdevelle has written a second letter to
the company, ordering that the car ser
vice must be resumed by I o'clock to-mor-
row morning.
The Mayor rescinded his previous notice
to the company for the reason that there
seemed to be settlement of the strike
in sight.
To-day negotiations opened on a new
tack. A subcommittee of the union met
the officials of the railway company. and
bo,n sides practically agreed on a propo-
sition for the men to return to work at
20 cents an hour and ten hours a day. The
company insisted upon the proposition
coming up to it in an official form from
the union to be presented through the
Mayor. The union considered the propo-
siton and rejected it.
Police protection will be afforded the
company in operating its cars.

as follows upon events up to September
18th:
Captain Pershing and Captain Eli
Heln,ick's columns fired into nearly
every Gotta (small native forD in Maciu.
The places were captured and destroyed.
Some were very strong. but our bursting
shells demoralized and put the hostiles
tend to be cooped up. as they were at
Bayan. This is the place where Captain
Pershing first defeated the Moros in their
forts) One of the Sultans of Maciu and
forty or fifty Moros were killed, and two
lantakas (sman brass swivel cannon)
and some rifles were captured. Two en-
listed men slightly wounded. No prop
erty or food destroyed. except such as
was found in captured forts. am hoping
that this has been a lesson that will be
beneficial to the Moros.
II will try to communicate with Baco-
lod and others who have defied us. No
opportunity will be missed to impress
them with the fact that we can live with
perfect peace with them If they will de-
sist from hostlitees and recognize our
sovereignty The DattoS of Rio Grande
