STEEL TRUST ~ Big DEAL.
Buys Coke Lands Which Will Provide
Fuel for Thirty Years.

New York, Jan. 3.-Judge e. II. Gary
of the United States Steel corpora
ton announced today that the proper
ties heretofore secured by the managers
OF the Pocahontas Coal syndicate, con-
sisting of about 100000 acres of fuel
and coking coal, had been sold to the
Pocahontas Coal and Coke company,
which is controlled by the Norfolk &
Western Railway company, and that 50,-
900 acres of these lands had been leased
on royalty basis to companies whose
capital stock is owned or controlled by
the United States Steel corporation.
Judge Gary said that within the COM
paratively near future there would be
at least 5000 of the most
modern coke ovens, with a capacity OF
at least 100000 tons of coke. together
with necessary railroads, tipples, water
works, electric plants, power plants,
residences, stores and other improve
ments. The companies controlled by
the United States Steel corporation by
this lease secured sufficient coal to pro-
vide, on the present basis of consump-
ton, for about thirty years. This, with
the Connellsville coal properties now
owned by the company, should furnish
the necessary supply OF Ike for up
ward of sixty years, t. Us corresponds
ing with the iron ore supply.

RESTRICTING DIVORCE.
Impetus Given the Movement for
National Statute.

Impetus Given the Movement for
National Statute.
Washington, Jan. 3.--Many of the at
torneys in congress will watch with in
terest the operation of the new divorce
law, which went into effect on New
Years day in the District of Columbia
The new law provides that infidelity
shall be the only ground for absolute di-
vorce, and that in such cases, only the
innocent party may remarry. Separa-
tion is to be granted on other grounds.
The passage of the law by the district
has encouraged Congressman Taylor. of
Ohio, to press his bill providing for
constitutional amendment for considera-
tion at the present session. Mr.. Taylor's
proposed amendment is very brief, SIM
ply providing that congress shall have
power to make laws regulating marriage
and divorce. The question has been be-
fore congress at former sessions. is now
PENDING before the Episcopal church of
America, and is one of the subjects for
annual discussions and suggestions by
the American Bar Association Efforts
To secure much consideration for the bill
have not been successful at forTAe ses-
sions, but Mr.. Taylor has received so
much encouragement from informal
conferences with members of the house
that he is hopeful OF securing favorable
consideration of his bill at the present
session.
"It is not necessary" said Mr.. Taylor,
in speaking of his bill, ito review any
of the arguments in favor of some uni
form divorce legislation. Every think
ing man and woman in the nation is fa-
miliar with the abuses that are prac-
ticed, owing to the various divorce laws
Of the different states. The only ques-
ton is the arousing of public sentiment
sufficiently to force action by congress.
my bill simply provides for the first
step toward the reform If the amend
ment is passed. then it will devolve upon
future congress to deal with the causes
upon which divorces should be granted.
When that time comes congress will find
the people of the nation aroused on the
subject just as they were aroused a
couple of years ago when an attempt
was made to have Utah represented in
congress by Mormon. An effort Is sse-
ing made by IN association hay

its object the uniformity of laws to have
similar divorce laws passed by the diff
ferent states. The only objection to this
is that II the laws were finally passed
they would be subject to change by
every legislature.
There is some opposition to the meas
ure from representatives from the
southern states, who are disposed to
look upon it as an infringement upon
state rights, but even many of these
members are favoring the proposition.
The South Carolina law recognizes no
divorces. Yet there are hundreds in the
state who have gone elsewhere to obtain
their divorces and then returned to live,
under new marriages, in open defiance
of the South Carolina code. Florida has
been scandalized, too, by the abuses that
have developed from her divorce laws,
and other states in the union have laws
which have operated to make the mar
irage ceremony farce. The sentiment
is growing rapidly liz favor of uniform
divorce laws and in favor of allowing
congress authority to deal with the
question. In the event of the passage OF
the amendment congress would then
pass law defining marriage and max
Ing provisions for the dissolution of the
marriage tie.
Mr. Taylor's proposition is meeting
with the opposition of the Utah MEM
hers and the members from some of the
mountain states in which the Mormons
have succeeded in establishing large coll

Considerable Excitement Over Another
Case of Smallpox at Grinnell.


Case of Smallpox at GrinneIl.
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnel, Jan. 3.-Considerable excite
ment was caused yesterday when 1t was
known that man with smallpox had
taken dinner in public restaurant.
James Bax arrived in Grinnell Saturday
last from Dubuque to work on the new
we'll with Foreman Hunters crew. He
was taken sick on the train coming
here, but thought nothing of 1t. He en-
gagged lodging at Mincer's. in West
Grnnell, with the other hands who are
working on the well, and went about his
work the first of the week. Wednesday
evening he began to break out and yes
terday. after taking dinner at the New
York chop house, went to see the doc
tor. The city physician was immediate
~ summoned and the result was Bax
was taken to the hospital Immediately
and the restaurant at once quarantined.
The we'll diggers at Miners were also
quarantined. The restaurant was fumi-
gated in the afternoon and all precau-
tions taken in that quarter. The men
at Mincer's have all been exposed and
will be held in quarantine until the
time for the disease to develop. A num-
ber Of other exposures have resulted.
The efficiency of our local authorities
was demonstrated again yesterday, the
matter being dealt with summarily.
Apprehension Is natural in a case of
general exposure. and particularly when
smallpox is rampant in nearby cities,
there being 20 cases in Des Moines and
many in and about Searsboro. but with
the prompt and stringent action of DR..
Somers and the board Of health there is
little danger of a spread OF the disease.

project is the outcome OF recent visit

manager of Bristol docks. Bristol Is at
present eXpending $1000O,000 on new
docks and is seeking by every channei
to develop the trade of the port. me
new line will work in connection with
the cold storage plant in course OF erec-
ton at Bristol, which will cost So0o,oo0
and will be completed at the end of 1902
The promoters assert that the new
line will afford facilities for Immensely
increasing American exports of fruit
and provisiors Bristol is the center OF
a population of 100000. 1t is also said
that the New Orleans line will bring
California two days nearer England by
doing away with the rail haul to New
York and diverting the fruit traffic from
Houston over the Texas & Pacific rail
way to New Orleans. This accounts for
the Goulds interest in the project.
