SUICIDE LEAVES CONFESSION.
Declares He Was Guilty Of Crime
CHARGED to Another,

Columbus, O., jan. 3.-The confession
of Walter Wragg. a man who committed
suicide in Pittsburg, Pa, may be the
means Of liberating Thomas Carter. a
Hamilton county prisoner, who is serv-
ing a twenty-year sentence in the Ohio
penitentiary for manslaughter.
Wragg, in his confession. sent to a
P%ittsburg paper, said that he and a pal
had held up a ~saloonkeeper named Hitz-
Ter in Cincinnati in July, 1896, and in a
fight which ensued HITLER was killed.
As they ran way from the saloon
Wragg says he shot at a man who was
running toward him. Carter avs he is
the man referred to; that, hearing the
shooting in the saloon, he ran to see
what was the trouble. He claims he was
wounded in the shoulder. When he re-
ported the assault to the police he was
taken into custody and charged with
murder.
Carter had previously lived at Cripple
Creek, Col, and had only been In Gin
cinnati a few days. His story, which
TALES with that told by Wragg, was not
believed and he was convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to twenty
years. His good time will expire in 1909.
He always maintained his innocence,
and 1t was the doubt in his case which
prevented his conviction Of a higher de-
gree Of murder.

CHANCE FOR AMERICAN COAL.
Exorbitant Prices Charged, 1t Is Said
In Berlin.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 3.-"One can
hardly take up a Berlin newspaper with
GU finding a report of some meeting of
manufacturers or other class of fuel
to protest against the artifi-
clally maintained prices of Goa and
coke" says Consul General Mason at
Berlin, in a report to- the state depart
ment, dated Dec. 3.
The paramount fact on the public
mind concerning the coal situation, Ma
son says, is that, Notwithstanding the
continued protests and present distress
of many German industries, their mar
owing output n enforced discharge of
workmen, the German coal %syndicates
have persisted in maintaining practical
ly the same prices which they received
for coal during the flush activity of 1899
and 1900. Silesian coal OF ordinary quail
lily, it is stated. now retails at Berlin
coal yards at about $751; per metric ton
of 2,2o4 pounds. Ordinary Silesian steam
coal costs in car load lots $3.50 per ton,
delivered in that city. Therefore, Mason
points out, as the river freight on coal
from Hamburg to Berlin is about 70
cents per ton, 1t would seem that If
American or other foreign soft coal can
be landed at Hamburg for any price ap-
preaching $3.50 per ton, there ought to
be a chance for 1t in the retail market
of the German CAPITAL.

Mayor of Mckeesport Administers
Oath to Persons With New Years
Resolutions.
McKeesport, Pa, Jan. 3.-Mayor Rob-
ert j. Black has again written his name
high upon the wall Of the temple of
fame. He has set an example for may
ors Of cities all over the country in adj
ministering the oath of persons DESTROYS
of turning over a new leaf on New

zens of McKeesport made an effort to
start a new life New Years morning by
accepting the offer of the mayor to adj
minister the oath free of charge.
The mayor was at his Office early on
Wednesday morning to help the citizens
of McKeesport make an early start OH
the right road. Nine of the unfortunates
who had celebrated the arrival of 1902
too much were ready for him, n took
the oath in lieu of q fine for drunken
ness. Within two hours the first maj
who took the oath was back again in the
patrol wagon.
What did you mean by taking the
oath and then breaking it?" inquired the
mayor.

The number of good resolutions sworn
to did not meet with the expectations of
the mayor. He rather thought out OF a
city Of 40. 900 there should be at least
several hundred who would be willing to
make a good resolution on New Years
morning. The resolutions in New Years
morning were of all grades from quit

RECEIVER WANTS
 GOODS RETURNED
REFEREE TRIMBLE IS HEARING CASE OF ANNISToN GROCERY co, IN WHICH CHARGES OF FRAUD ARE MADE.

Referee in Bankruptcy Trimble has a case before him that is of unusual interest, that of the Anniston Grocery company, which recently went into bankruptcy. The case before the referee is on pe- tition of lAe receiver, E. A. Howle, ask ing that an or1er be issued requiring Bulman & Co. of Talladega to turn over to him goods shipped the firm by the Anniston Grocery company. The alleged value of the goods is about s4O00.
 The case was taken up yesterday morn- ing and will probably not be finished be- fore late this afternoon
 The liabilities of the grocery company were about s30.000 and the tangible as- sets, it is claimed, about s40O0. The con- cern had shipped a quantity of goods to Bulman & Co. at Talladega. MT. Bull man was president of the grocery house and also interested in Bulman & Co. The receiver alleges in his petition that the shipments of goods to Talladega were fraudulent, that the goods were not paid for and really belong to the creditors. The defendant claims a bona fide sale and alleges payment in notes.
 H. A. Reynolds, J. A. McQuirk. w S. Wyche of Anniston and George Kyser of Talladega are in the city, being wit nesses in the case.

STATE CAMPAIGN
 BEGINS THIS WEEK
CHAIRMAN LOWE WILL NAME coMMITTEE-RUMoRED THAT JUDGE BANKS IS A CANDIDATE FOR RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The campaign for state officers will open up in few days, and though it will not be a long one, it will be interesting and energetic.
 The appointment of members to the state democratic campaign committee by Chairman Robert J. Lowe will in all probability take place this week. It Is impossible to say who will be appointed on the committee but it is thought that Henry B. Gray and Jones G. Moore will be among the number These gentlemen are now in Montgomery. John B. Knox may also be an appointee He Is very active in political circles and is familiar with the present political conditions.
 Chairman Lowe Is of the opinion that for the republicans to raise issues but strengthens the democratic cause.
 This morning at Il o'clock the county democratic executive committee will meet in the courthouse. The chairman, B. A. Thompson, was in Montgomery yester- day to see the governor. but he will doubtless return by the time the meeting takes place. To this meeting all of the nominees of the democratic party for county offices have been invited to be present Just what the committee will do at the session this morning could not be learned.
 It was stated last night that Mir. Lowe would go to Montgomery tonight. It is probable he will confer with Governor Jell1s before he makes appointments on the campaign committee.
 It is possible that in the near future Governor Jelks and the republican candi- date for governor, J. A. W. Smith, will meet in joint debate. The republican campaign committee sent letter to the chairman of the democratic committee asking for a division of time between the two candidates for governor. This letter will be referred to the committee as soon as the organization is perfected.
 It was rumored last night that Judge J. J. Banks would be a candidate for railroad commissioner.
