STEEL TRUSTS BIG COAL DEAL.
Transaction That Gives 1t Enough Coal to
Run Thirty Years
(By the Associated Press. J

New York, Jan. 2.-Judge E. II. Gary.
of the United States Steel Corporation.
announced today that the properties here
tofore secured by the managers of the
Pocahontas Coal Syndicate, consisting Of
about 100000 acres of fuel and coking
coal, had been sold to the Pocahontas
Coal and Coke Company, which is con-
trolled by the Norfolk and Western Rail-
way Company and that $4,000 acres of
these lands had been leased on a royalty
basis to companies whose capital stock
is owned or controlled by the United
States Corporation. Judge Gary said that
within the comparatively near future
there would be constructed at least three
thousand of the most modern coke ovens,
with a capacity of at least one and one
half millions tons of coke, together with
necessary railroads, tiples, ~water-works,
electric plants, power plants, residences,
stores and other improvements. The
companies controlled by the United States
Steel Corporation by this lease secured
sufficient coal to provide, on the present
basis of consumption, for about thirty
years. This, with the Connellsville Coal
now owned by the company, should fur
nish, the necessary supply Of coke for up
wards of sixty years, thus corresponding
svith the iron ore supply.

sK[RMISM NEAR MANILA.
The Attitude of the Natives in samar More
Unfriendly Than Ever.
(By the Associated Press.)

Manila, Jan. Lieut.. Charles d.
Rhodes, Of the Sixth Cavalry, accom-
panied by two orderlies, when within
six miles of Manila today. came across
twenty armed insurgents in a Quartet or
barracks. The insurgents shouted
"Americanos" and Lieut.. Rhodes feigned
retreat. But in reality he took the
Quartet in flank and drove out the in
surgents. Rhodes then burned the bar
racks down and proceeded to Manila.
Gen. Wheaton's report from the Island
of Samar indicates that little has been
accomplished there. The attitude of the
natives is even more unfriendly than
ever before. Gen. Chaffee will prob
ably visit the island in order to inves-
tigate the state of affairs prevailing
there.
In Batangas province the organized
campaign against the insurgents is pro-
crossing favorably.

MORE RURAL ROUTES
Two New Ones Began Opera
ton Yesterday.
Improvement to Be Made in City Delivery
Pos!ofice Here Gains in
Receipts.

Two new rural delivery routes were
started yesterday.
Bennett J. Utley carried the mail over
route No A. cut the Hillsboro road, for
the first time, and Otis Marshburn de-
livered the first mail over route No. s.,
which goes via the Louisburg road.
The operation of these two routes
greatly improves the mail facilities of
the city, and what is more encouraging,
Postmaster Bailey promises to make
decided improvements in the free deliv-
cry service in the city. These improve
ments will be made public at an early
date.
Rural delivery route No. 4, which was
one of those that began operation yes
terday for the first time, covers 1914
miles. 1t embraces 20 square miles and
serves a population of 1880, and to be
more exact, 2S5 houses are visited. The
route leads out the Hillsboro road to
Avents Ferry, three quarters of mile
from the city. The route then goes
southwesterly to the Apex road at Swift
Creek church, a distance of eight miles
1t then goes to the Haywood road at
Wilson'S Fork, by the Farman Gully
place and the Templeton plantation to
the Hillsboro road near Williams saw
mills.
Route No. 8 is 231a miles in length
and covers an area Of 10 square miles.
There is a population of 920 served in
the route and 205 houses are visited.
This route goes out the Louisburg road
to Rodgers Cross Roads 812 miles and
turns in a southerly direction to Rett
postoffice. Going north again it returns
to the Smithfield road at Pet Temples
place and then to the Tarboro road at
Knights store.
The Raleigh postoffice continues to
show a substantial growth from a bust
ness standpoint. Every quarterly re-
port during Postmaster Bailey's admin
istration has shown gain in receipts.
Despite the fact that there were two
political headquarters here last year
and that this has been considered dull
fall, there has been a steady increase in
the receipts of the postoffice over last
year.
The following figures for the last four
months Of the year show the gains
made:

A delightful feature of the evening
was the address of President c. B. Hart.
1t was witty, pithy and full of sound
sense. Principally intended for hard
ware men, it is worth reading by all
who work.
After extending a Happy New Year
welcome, he said his subject would be

his hearers were married their "adora-

was hope for the others.

ADINNER TO OLD FOLKS
One Hundred of Them Ate Heartily and Heard
the Governor Speak.

OF the many striking entertainments
that have occurred in our city during
the holidays, none have been more
worthy of mention, and certainly none
more enjoyed, than the "Old Folks Din
ner," given by the Young Ladies' Mis-
sionary Society of the First Baptist
Church. to the aged poor.
The young ladies in this unique char
ity were nobly assisted by Mr.. John T.
Pullen, who made the beneficent contri-
button of twenty five dollars and other
gifts, including his personal service.
The dinner was given in the Fayette-
vile Street Baptist Church, of which
Mr.. Pullen is a member. AT l o'clock
more than a hundred guests sat down to
richly laden tables, bearing all manner
of delicate and tempting viands. The
Divine blessing was invoked by DR.. A.
A. Marshall, after which Governor
Aycock was introduced, who delivered
short but inspiring address. The
guests then fell heartily to eating and
seemed to enjoy in the highest degree
the delightful viands, prpared by their
host and hostesses. More than a hun
dred were present, each of whom car
ried away we'll filled bag and meals
were sent to others, whom sickness had
prevented from attending.
delightful musical program was
rendered, which reflected credit on all
who took part.
For six Years these dinners to the
aged poor have been given. While all
who took part, either by their presence
or their contributions, are worthy of
special praise, the one feature deserving
of special mention was the lowly SER
vice rendered by the ladies of the First
Baptist Church, representing many of
the best families of our city, who, in
imitation of Him who washed His dis
ciples feet, performed in person the du-
ties of the waitress.
The contributions for these dinners
are secured through the efforts of the
Young Ladies' Society, while Mr.. Pull
len, with princely liberality, makes an
nually his contribution of twenty-five
dollars. We trust that this UNIQUE
charity shall continue through the
years to gladden. the hearts of the aged
poor.

quality and limpidity of tone, which
sharply reminds one of Sembrich. She

beautiful personality, yet has made a
remarkable success since her debut two

KEITH's THEATRE BURNED
Quests Fled from the Morton House Adjoining
in Their Night Clothes
(By the Associated Press.)


New York, Jan. 2.-Fire was discov- r.
Cd early this mornin IN the engine room
of Keith's Union Square Theatre. The
flames were first seen by the engineer OF
the Morton House, which adjoins the
theatre, and he gave the alarm.
There were three hundred guests in
and made their escape to the streets clad
in their night garments. The halls and
corridors of the hotel were filled with
smoke, and the guests from The upper
fools were compelled TO grope their
way to the street. So far as known
they all got out in safety.
Keith's Theatre is a six story build
ing, and the Morton House is five
stories, and both are practically in the
same building.
BY o'clock the flames had spread with
remarkable rapidity and it seemed as If
he firemen would not be able o prevent
their spread to every part of the build
ing.
2:25 a. m.-.The flames We're RAPIDLY
spreading through the entire theatre
but had not eaten their way into the
hotel. They spread to the eastward, de-
stroying quickly two small stores and
the prospects were that that the fire
would spread still further in that direc
ton.
1t was learned that the fire started
in the storage room adjoining the en-
gine room of the theatre. within twenty
| minutes after its discovery it had spread
up stairs eating it's way to the stores
adjoining on the east. The Morton
House is on the west
The clothing store of Benson and Com
oany was soon destroyed as was the CT
gar store of Manuel Diaz.
The rapidity with which the flames
spread through the theatre was because
Of quantity of oils, paints and huge
mass of scenery which was IN the stor-
age The fumes and gases from this in
dammable stuff hampered the fremen in
their work as they were repeatedly dri-
ven from the basement to the street.
2:45 a. m.-Chief Croker announced
| that he has hopes of confirming the fire
| to the basement of the theatre and also
preventing it's spread further to the
| eastward of the two stores burned.

 When the two strangers turned the corner they were confronted by a gen teeHy dressed man who demanded in stentorian tones, Hold up vour hands,' emphasizing this command by displaying huge shooting instrument One of the asSailed attempted to brush aside the dangerous shooting iron when the daring knight strCked him severely over the head.
