By he New York American TO End
the Coal Famine.

The New York American has pro-
posed to furnish Attorney General
Knox with evidence which will bring
the Coal Trust within the provisions
at the AntiTru law. This paper has
also informed President Roosevelt that
il has IN its possession documentary
evidence of the unlawful character of
the coal combine, and offers to show
over the hands and seals of the re-
spective corporations that MAKE up
this nefarious pool, the actual COM
bination and conspiracy that has re-
suited IN placing the American people
at the mercy of as merciless and as
rapacious band as was ever known
in the history of the world.
The American has petitioned At
torney General Knox 10 institute
proceedings against the component
corporations of this coal trust. unoer
the anti trust law, that it might pre-
sent legal indubitable evidence required
to destroy forever the coal trust.
The American was the first to make
a proposal of arbitration, and upon
the refusal of this solution, by the
presidents of the coal roads, it engaged
as a mediation committee, such emf
nent men as Cardinal Gibbons, John
Wanamaker, former vice President
Stevenson. former Justice Roger A.
Pryor aud John De Witt Warner, to
do all in their power to induce peace
between the coal operators and
strikers Failing in this. 1t urged
President Roosevelt to call the coal

Southern Railroads Changing En-

The scarcity of coal is now beginning
to have its effect on Southern railroads.
The Atlantic Coast Line recently
ordered large number OF engines to
be changed to wood burners and the
Seaboard Air Line has just done like
wise on its North Carolina division.
Superintendent Huger has issued an
order to have all coal burners on the
division between Wilmington and
Hamlet changed to wood burners. 1t
is expected that only engines pulling
passenger trains on the main line will
continue to purn coal. There will be
eight road engines changed this week
and the switch engines in the yard at
Wilmington will follow. The Atlantic

TOO BAD, TOO BAD
How Tommy Ragsdale Lost Bette
Hudson,

Trenton, Tenn. Oct. 9.-For ten
years Tommy Ragsdale and Bette
Hudson, both residents Of the Twenty
fourth District of this county, had
been sweethearts. All of the love and
ali of the affection of Tommy's young
life he had showered upon fair Bess.
1t seems to have been mutual for
awhile. Tom wore Bessie's ring and
Bess was the recipient of many little
favors from Tommy. An engagement
to ride in the Fair in progress here
this week broke up the felicity of ten
long years and perhaps blighted two
young lives.
Willie Yates, with red necktie and
dyed mustache and handsome horse
happened along just as the ring opened,
and Bessie left her former sweetheart
and rode off into the ring with Yates.
A scrap occurred afterwards and the
engagement is said to be broken. =

PROF. TR0WBRIDGE
MAKES DISCOVERY,
Experiments Demonstrate That Light
ing Will Not Strike Water.


New York, October 10. -ExperiTents
conducted by Prof. John Trowbridge
of Harvard University have led TO the
definite statement. says Times
special from Boston. that lightning
win not strike water. by means of
a battery of 20 600 cells he obtained a
voltage Of 5000. 600. which force he
says is at least comparable to hight
ming and enabled him to deduce his
conclusions. He said:
With my battery l was able to OBJ
tain an electric spark about Z feet
long. and found that instead of strik-
ing the water, spark of six or seven
feet in length invariably jumped to
some adjacent object in preference to
striking the liquid surface. A spark
of only a few inches in length. how
ever, will strike the water, but such
spark is not comparable to lightning.
Beyond a million volts the initial
resistance of atmosphere air to electric
discharges becomes less and less, and
the discharges therefore is shunred
through the air instead of upon the
water, and strikes some object adjacent
to the water"
