COAL
MOST
GONE
But 400 Tons Of Anthracite
Left--Soft Coal TO Heat the
School Buildings.

1t is said that there Is barely 400 tons OF
hard coal in this city. People who have
been accustomed to purchase OF certain
dealers who are now unable to sell even
pound OF anthracite for the reason
that they haven't a scrap left, apply to
other firms and are refused. The little
stock that is now on hand Is being re-
served for the regular customers of the
dealers.
Soft coal orders are now placed on file
and must take their turn. The r. B. LII
tie company will not even do that; that
concern can't accept any more orders.
The price for hard coal is still kept at
$40 per ton, Notwithstanding In neighbor-
ing cities the rate has been pushed up to
SIS per ton.
Soft coal is fast approaching the $40
mark.
1t is asserted that the public schools OF
this city will close because OF lack OF
fuel. The department is 10 be supplied
with all the soft coal that may be neces-
sary one firm having pledged itself to
that end.
The postoffice and internal revenue
buildings will be sufficiently heated, as
contracts for coal for them were made
long ago and a bond was given for the
fulflllment of the same.

BRIDE A BEAUTY
Young Jermyn Dodged Olsin-
heritance and Married His Choice

oswego. NJ Y, Sept. 26.-It was one
thing to give up his pretty sweetheart OF
humble parentage and another to see
100000 taken from him by his father
unless he did, and between the two Wal
ter NJ. Jermyn thought IL nice Kettle
OF fish.
The way he solved the problem was
made known yesterday, when his mar
riage TO Lena Kehoe more than three
years ago was announced and steps were
taken to- secure for him the $2OOO.0O0
which was left to him by his father. John
Jermyn, the millionaire coal operator,
who died In Scranton few months ago.
1t YVES a s., 900, 600 secret which the young
couple have kept for three years. Young
Jermyn fell madly in love with Miss ke-
hoe when he first came TO Oswego four
years ago and established large boiler
works. She was one of the sweetest girls
I'm town, the daughter of an honest meat
dealer. and Jermyn became frequent
caller at her home.
They were often observed driving I'm
the gorgeous tournouts which Jermyn
was able to command. Then Jermyn, Sr..
head of a family OF great wealth and
social prominence, learned how matters
were going He said Walter must give
up his suit or disinheritance would be
his lot.
SO the carriage drives ceased. and II
was believed among the town people that
the $2,000,O00 had outweighed young
Jermyns love for the fair daughter OF
the meat dealer.
But the young couple did meet, al
though none was the wiser. and at least
one carriage drive was taken after the
paternal edict had gone forth
This occasion was behind fast team
drawing a closed carriage. which stopped
at the residence of Rev George Ward,
at Vermillion. few miles east of Oswe-
go. Jermyn and Miss Kehoe were mar
ried there on June 2, 1899
Then began the keeping of the secret,
which was successful. John Jermyn left
$40 000, ,O60. and by the terms OF the will
Walter Jermyn will receive one-ffth of
this-and he's got his bride already.

MRS. CLARK TELLS TROUBLES

Greenwich. Conn, Sept. 26.-Despite the
order OF the court that he pay his wife
and children the sum OF $3.50 a week for
their support, "the Miser of Mianus." as
Andrew j. Clark is known, announced
yesterday that rather than do so he
would go TO jail. He is meditating an
appeal to a higher tribunal, although the
prospect Of living thirty days at the ex-
pense of the county is alluring.
The only thing which troubles him is
the care of his two cows. He has almost
persuaded himself. even IL he has to en-
pIoy an assistant at 81 a week 10 do his
chores, that he will go TO prison. The
fact that his wife. for the fourth time
since their marriage ten years ago, had
appealed to the courts TO have her hus-
band support her, annoyed him. and he
was determined to make a firm resist
ance 10 her demands.
IL cannot be said 1.-The Miser of Mian-
us" is wealthy, yet he has money in the
bank, owns farm-which yields, accord
ing 10 his own story, very good returns

good wages as a carpenter whenever he
finds II convenient TO work.
Clark Is fifty-five years old, and until
ten years ago he lived on his mothers
farm, having been in her employ from the
time he reached manhood until middle
age. After her death he inherited the
farm and combined the trades OF carpen-
ter and farmer. The house at Mianus is
a substantial structure which he built
himself.
He won the hand of Mrs. Gertrude
Millspaugh, handsome widow who had
two sons, Howard. who was then eight
years old. and Stanley, boy OF four. A
third child was born TO them and christ
ened Jennie.
Mrs. Clark, who has the regard of all
her neighbors, worked as dressmaker.
and IL is said that she contributed the
larger part of the household expenses.

age OF ten years, sold newspapers. did

FASHIONS LATEST SLEEVES.

The fastest ediot of fashions calls for
a sleeve of much larger proportions In
all outdoor garments. This is more
asnscialIy noticeable In evening wraps,
although many Of the newer coat and
;acket sleeves are greatly enlarged in
size, particularly from the elbow
down. 1t stands to reason that the
elaborate sleeve of the smart gown or
separate waist cannot be crowded into
a tight outer sleeve without detriment.
