GOLDBEATERs STRIKE.
Men Want Women and Girls Dis
charged.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-with a view
to settling the strike of the gold
beaters, negotiations have been start
ed with the employers by the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor. The prin-
|cipal demands of the goldbeaters are
an advance in wages from $12 to s21
a week and the discharge Of about
one hundred girls and women. A con-
ference between committees Of gold
leaf manufacturers and the striking
goldbeaters has been held but no
agreement reached. An effort NAV be
made to bring about another confer
ence. The employers who had offered
compromise of $15 a week. raised
the offer to $16 a week. The goldbeat-
ers were willing to accept the offer
If the women and girls were discharg-
ed. The employers refused to do that
because some Of the women have been
employed more than 20 years. The
employers will hold a conference to-
day. They declare that they will not
discharge the women and girls.

THE COAL SITUATION
SUPPLY ALMOST EXHAUST
ED AND NONE ARRIVING.
Nine Dollars Ton i'm Jerse,
City--Dealers Are Unable
to Fin Orders.

NEW YORK, Aug. l4--Iuquiries
have been made by the Tribune as to
the stock Of anthracite coal on hand
AT several cities in the East with the
following results:
New York City dealers say ,he sup
plv here has been practically exhausted
for weeks. The railroad companies
have been able to deliver only few
thousand tons a day recently and r,uch
OF st is known as washed coal.
The retail price of coal in Jersey
City is 50 ton delivered or s. al the
wards. and orders are taken only con-
ditionally. The dealers have agents
out purchasing wherever they can find
coal. None is coming in by the cars.
Some have a meager reserve supply.
but this is kept for customers with
whom they have contracts. Orders
for thousands of tons have ben pigeon
holed because they cannot be filled.
Buffalo reports that the Erie rail-
roads Hillside is the only anthracite
that can be bought there at present.
1t sells for $5.65 a ton and is not the
best quality of hard coal. The Philadel-
phia & Reading, the Lehigh, the Del
aware & Hudson and the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western railroads have
all stopped the sale of anthracite at
the trestles and have closed their To-
cal agencies, thereby putting an abso-
lutte stop to their coal busines. The
railroads are maintained the utmost
secrecy regarding their supplies and
even the Erie officials refuse to say
how much they have on hand. All
the leading coal dealers say the sup
ply is exceedingly limited
At Albany. n. Y, the retail dealers
have in stock not TO exceed 1000 tons
of anthracite coal. which they are SELL
ing at Sc to s6,25 a ton. The Della
ware & Hudson Company has about
1000 tons in reserve at De,anson. This,
with 500 tons held by a wholesale
dealer, is all that can be counted on
for Albany. II is known, says the Al
bany correspondent. that the Delaware
Hudson has considerable coal, esti-
mated as high as 50,0Oo tons,

John Veal Charged with Murder OF
Negro Warrant Also Out for
YEATS Son.
Dublin, Ca, Aug 25.-John Veal has
been arrested and is now in Jail,
charged with the murder of Win Land
ingham, negro. A warrant has been
issued against Colquitt Veal, charged
with the same offense. but he has not
yet been arrested. His relatives say
he will voluntarily give himself up
during the next few hours, having no
fear but that he will be released after
commitment trial.
Colquitt Veal is really the principal
in the case. as it was he who killed
Landingham, although the row was be-
tween his father, John Veal, and the
dead man.
John Veal and Landingham had a
row concerning some cotton in which
both had an interest. The two began
fighting. the negro getting the best of
1t. Neals wife went for his gun and
the negro then left. On the way he
met Colquitt Veal, who had been
some distance away, but near enough
to hear the row that was going on at
his fathers house, and was on his way
to the scene of the trouble
Coiquitt Veal asked the negro what
the trouble was. The negro replied he
had just whipped his father and would
do the same to him, and started to-
wards Veal with a heavy stick up

Veal pulled his pistol and fired three
times at the negro, hitting him with
all three bullets. The negro died al

RUSKlN SWEPT BY FIRE.
III-Luck Follows Former SociaIistic
Settlement.

Waycross, Ga, Aug. 25.-The prin-
cipal part of the little town of Ruskin,
seven miles west of Waycross, was de-
stroyed by fire at 1890 o'clock last
night. The large hotel building, for
merly occupied as a hotel and Off
GERS headquarters for the Ruskin
Commonwealth, was destroyed, as well
as the store and one other dwelling
house.
1t is not known just how the flames
originated. When first discovered the
fire was burning fercely. and very
little of the contents of the buildings
was saved.
The hotel building was occupied by
j. G. Steffes, one of the owners of the
Ruskin property. In all proba bility
ings. as none was held by the Way
cross insurance agencies. There was
no fire fighting facilities at Ruskin
and the property owners were COM
PEELED to stand by and see their prop
erty go to ashes.
The entire town of Ruskin was pur-
chased by j. G. Steffes and two other
former members of the Ruskin Com
monWealth last year, and nearly the
whole place has been placed under
cultivation the present season.
The flames were plainly seen in
Waycross last night, and the fire de-
partment was called out, the watch
man believing it was located in the
western part of the city.

TOUCHED FOR HIS WAD.
His SavinEs-Sergeant Charged
with the Crime.

With the Crime.
Beaufort, S. c.. Aug. pa bold rob
berry was committed in the marine
barracks at the Port Royal Training
Station between 9 and 10 o'clock yes
terday morning.
]. H. Berriman, a member of the
marine guard at the station has also
been in charge of the library al the
marine barracks. 1t was the librarians
duty TO keep a large case constaininS
the books locked UP and Berriman had
concealed in the case a small paste
board box which he alleges contained
$40 in bills of the denomination of
$1,000 each. Sergeant Grant, VINO is a
member of the marine corps, is sus-
pected of having purloined his COM
rade's savings. Although the evidence
against him is purely circumstancial
in its character.
Berriman alleges Grant was the only
person who knew he kept money lock-
ed up in the bookcase. He had once
happened upon Berriman, who was in
the act of counting his money.
The lock to the bookcase was brok-
en- and the pasteboard box with the
$40 it contained taken out during Ber-
riman's absence. The commanding Of
ficer of the marine guard ordered the
quarters of each man systematically
searched, and this was done, but with
out recovering the money or any clue
to it's whereabouts.
Out on Paris Island a negro wo-
mans house will probably be searched
by the civil authorities to whom Ber-
riman has submitted his case. 1t is
thought the money may be found in
her possession.
