FIERCE 0ATHS
Murderer Best Said TO Have
INDUCED In Them In Cell.

salemn. Mass. Aug. 2s.-Rev. I. M.
Mollish. OF Salem, who has acted as
spiritual adviser TO Murderer John c..
Best, throughout the latter's incarcera-
ton at the Salem jail. will continue to
visit Best at Charlestown. He will call
on Saturday and will be accompanied by
Best's aged father and by two sisters OF
the prisoner.
It has developed since Best left the Jail
here that, although he was model pris-
onsr so far as obedience to jail regula-
tions was concerned, he was by no means
as careless of his fate as he appeared to
be when before the public. From the
time that he was notified that his petition
for clemency was dennied by the gov
ernor. In fact. he has been In highly
nervous state. Night after night he is
said to have paced his cell cursing his
fate In most bitter oaths. He seemed TO
be railing at nobody in particular, but at
his fate and the world In general Even
when asleep he was frequently heard to
mutter curses and fierce oaths.

SHIPPING COAL.

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.--While mine oper-
ators and officials of the United Mine
Workers say that the strike situation IN
ahe anthracite field remains unchanged, IT
n evident that there is greater activity
et present In the coal region than at any
time since the inauguration OF the strike.
Coal Is daily being shipped from various
sections OF the field. and several wash
cries are known to be In operation.
1t does not follow. however, that any
Of the companies are cutting coal. When
the strike was declared a large quantity
of cut coal was left beneath the surface,
ready for the breaker. According 20 min
ers' union officials II is this coal that Is
now being brought to tho surface by the
special deputies. foremen and others en-
ployed about the collierIes during the
progress OF the strike. IL Is also the big
coal carrying companies are now draw
ing on their reserve supply TO satisfy the
more pressing demands.
FROM STORAGE SUPPLY.
The Pennsylvania railroad, through its
selling agents, has been selling and ship
ping small quantities OF coal almost daily
since tho strike began, securing its sup
piles from some $1,000 tons In storage
This supply has been exhausted, however.
and what little coal the company Is now
sending out comes from the mines OF the
Eusquehanna Coal company. Mt Nanu-
coke, where small quantities are being
brought TO the surface and sent TO mar
ket daily. The Reading company, accord
ing to its sales agents has not sold any
coal since the strike was inaugurated ex-
cept I'm few exceptional cases.
ARE INCREASING.
On the other hand reports from the
Bchuylkill region. where the Reading
company's mines are. say that the ship
ments OF anthracite from that section are
daily increasing. The washeries estab-
iished along the Schuylkill river in north
ern Berks and Lower Schuylkiil counties
are in operation night and day, and as
high as 100 cars are shipped In a day.
What 10 considered significant move
ment on the part OF the operators Is the
return OF many mules from pasture TO
the mines.
HELP FROM LABOR DAY.
Indianapolis, Aug. 29.-The officers OF
the United Mine Workers believe Labor
day Will be OF great benefit to them.
They have received word that Mt many
places, especially I'm the mining region.
the pending mining strikes will be made
very prominent and collections are to
be taken to assist the miners. They
