Germ, to be the principal one. They
have received offers from all parts Of
the country, but have come to the con-
clusion that Wilmington offers the best
facilities TO be had anywhere. They
realize that Wilmington not only mas
superior manufacturing and receiving
facilities, but is one of the greatest
distributing centres in the country as
well. Tbs tract upon which they will
erect their new plant comprises about
40 acres. 1t is south of the Christiana
River, east of the Wilmington City
Railway Co. 's South Wilmington line
and north of Eden Park. Work on the
new buildings is to be begun as soon as
practicable, and when the plant is COM
pleted it will empl ,y between /, 500 and
1000 men, and nearly all will be skilled
mechanics.
We have had number of valuable
additions to our commercial and indus
trial interests the past two years. The
Pullman company has doubled its ca
pacity. The plant of the jackson &
Sharp Co, which has become the prop
erty Of tho American Car and Foundry
Co., has been materially enlarge. The
Harlan & Hollingsworth Co., under the
new ownership, is in a position to do
more work than ever. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Co. has contracted for
buildings to cost over 1850, COO and has
already spent over $500, 600 in improve
ments here during the past few months
and will spend much more. The Hilles
& Jones Co., Belts Machine Co.,
American Vulcanized Fibre Go. Trump
Bros. Machine Co.. j. E. Rhoads &
Sons, Delaware Hard Fibre Co. and
other establishments have enlarged
their plants and it Is now reported that
another addition to one of the big
plants is in prospect. 50

Brussels, Belgium, Nov. 15.-Three
shots were fired at the King of the
Belgians this morning, as he was pro-
ceeding to the Cathedral to attend
te deum In memory of the late Queen
Marie HenEiette, but he was not hurt
The man who fired the shots is an
Italian. He stood in front of the Bank
of Brussels, on the Rue Royale. The
other cartridges in his revolver proved
to be blank, SO it is presumed that
those fred were equally harmless. The
man was Immediately arrested. and the
police had some difficulty in rescuing
him from the hands of the crowd. He
gave the name of Robini.
Fhe royal cortege consisted of several
carriages, besides that of the King,
containing the Count and Countess
of Flanders, Prince and Princess Albert
of Flanders, Princess Clementine and
-de-camp and ladies of honor.
When Robini reached the police
station, he showed ample signs of the
rough handling which he received from
the crowd. The prisoner, who appeared
weak minded, said mis- only reason for
shooting WAS evaporation at seeing $50
many tired-looking personages occupy
ing such grand coaches. -
1t is reported in some quarters that
at least one of the cartridges contained
a bullet, as window of the carriage
occupied by Comre D'Culiremont, the
Kings grand marshal, was smashed, it
is thought, by bullet.

JOHN TRUCK PUT TO DEATH.

Auburn, N. Y, Nov. 1S.-John Truck
was put to death in the electric chair
in the State prison today. for ths
murder of Frank W. Miller, at Virgil.
Cortland county, March 14th, 1899.
Truck met his fate calmly, and five
minutes after the witnesses had assem-
bled in the death chamber he was pro-
nounced dead.
The motive for the murder of Miller
was robbery. Truck first crushed in
the skull of his victim, and then set
fire tc the house, thinking thus to de-
stroy the evidence of his crime. The
body of Miller was recovered. however.
and the crime was traced to Truck,
who had criminal record. He was
also suspected of two more murders in
Cortland county.

BLAMES THE COAL RAILROADS.

Shortage.

a Coal Operator Says They Cause the Fuel
Shortage.
Philadelphia Ledger Nov. is.
A combination of the coal l-carryinp
railroads and their tacit agreement, to-
gether With their utter inability to fur
nish necessary transportation facilities,
was declared responsible for the high
price of bituminous coal, and likewise
anthracite, by +. Albert von Boyne-
burgh, an operator, general manager
of the Reakirt Bros. Co, who spoke at
meeting of the Manufacturers Club,
held last night to discuss the question
of sour Coal Supply and the Possible
Permanent Influence Of the Late
Strike.' y
After several members had spoken,
Mr.. Won Boyneburgh was called upon
by the chair Cyrus Borgner, to give
the operators side of the question.
He said:
You, as manufacturers, cannot get
coal because the operators cannot get
the facilities for transporting it. The
companies have not cars; they have
not engines, and how in the world,
then, are you to get the coal. That's
what you are up against.
The railroads cannot move the ma
terial. The Baltimore g.. Ohio, the
Pennsylvania, the Reading and all
other companies are in that shane.
Freight trains are running as close as
they can. You will find empty cars
side-tracked, while the operators hun
dreds of miles away, perhaps, are
anxiously waiting for those very cars.
They cannot move them. When the
corporators ask for cars it is utterly
impossible to give them. We even can
not get the coal transported after it is
loaded in the cars, so few and far be-
tween. The reputable operators will
leave the coal go, thong to those to
whom it is intended to 90.
Why is the price of bituminous
coal SO high? For the simple reason
that we must charge more, Just as {
jumped from 81. 30 to 81 and SO ton,
when we cannot get the facilities. II
our output is normally 80 or 40 cars a
day and we can get only three or four
cars day We must charge more. Our
capital is there almost idle. 1t costs al
most the same. to operate the oolliery
and there you are.
II find the railroads combined to do
just as they see fit with both operators
and manufacturers. They throw out to
US Just what they don't want. They
handle the coal as they wish. They
leave it loaded where they want to un-
til they want to move it. They give you
your stuff and the empty cars when
they see fit, and move it when they see
fit. 1t has been so in the past for years,
and it is getting worse. | see no hope.
"Bituminous coal brings s4 today,
but il conditions continue as they are
it may go. up to s5 or So or 81. It is a
brick wall you are bucking into. We
cannot guarantee shipment. We can
guarantee you coal, but when you will
get it is another thing. What are we to
do? just as you do-wait. When the
railroads feel like and are equal to the
occasion, then you will get your coal.
1 would be glad to get your orders at
81 35 a ton, but if you were to give me
81 or SS, or even $50, couldn't saw
you will get your coal at such time
1t rests with the railroads. -
Loud applause greeted Mr.. Won
Boyneburgh's remarks, which the
members declared put new face on
the situation.

HIGH WAGES ON P. & R.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 1s.-The
following circular letter was issued to-.
day by the Philadelphia & Reading
railway officials with reference to the
increase of the wages of its employees:
Heads of. all departments: Taking
effect November list, 1902, the wages OF
all employees will be equalized with
those paid by railway companies in
this vicinity. Detailed instructions
will be supplied on application. BY
order of the President, Theodore Voor-
hees, First Vice President -
The increase will not take the form
of 10 per cent advance all round, as
was the case of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Co., for the reason that many
Reading employees are now receiving
higher salaries than those paid by the
Pennsylvania and other roads in this
section.

The reduction Of stock was made
In 1900 prior to the failure OF the
