When Calvin j. Reach appeared with his

This party has never Endorsed a national
platform to my knowledge but once ana
that was in 1883.
Mr. Keach-That is not any reason. You
don't want TO be branded towards, do you!
And IL you ignore the last platform you
will be so branded. The Republican party
has had the manliness TO indorse its tarln
Do you want to be less faithful TO your
issues?
At this point Mr.. Reach was cut off.

by his declaration that the state convention
should be reconvened to fill Judge Durand S
place on the ticket. and as he had declared
that he would not accept a nomination at
the hands OF the committee, his name was
not presented to-day. On the second formal
ballot the committee stood IA for Durand

COAL PRESIDENTS MEET.



NEW YORK, Sept. SO-The heads of the
coal railroads were in conference to-day
at one of the weekly meetings of the Tenn
pie Iron Company, of which they compose
the board of directors. There were present
President Baer, of the Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad: President Truesdale, of
the Lackawanna; President Oliphant. of
the Delaware & Hudson; President Fowler.
of the New York. Ontario & Western. and
John Markle. of the firm of G. M. Markle
* Co., Independent operators.
Before Markle went into the meeting he
was asked as TO the truth of the report
from Philadelphia that John Mitchell pres
ident of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, had been in conference at the Hotel
Walton in that city with a representative
OF the operators and j. p. Morgan. 1T Is
not true" said Mr.. Markle. for If rep
resentative of the operators and Mr.. Nor
gan had been there L would be in position
TO know 1t. and l have heard nothing of
the kind"
The coal situation in New York to-day is
more serious than at any time since the
strike of the anthracite miners began. In
stead of the 10000 tons usually in stock
at this time Of the year there are but
1000 tons of hard coal. In the tenement dis
tricts the price Is IS cents a bushel, which
is at the rate of s25 ton. Dealers in
other parts of the city who yesterday were
selling half tons to-day cut the allowance
to customers to quarter tons Coal and
coal dust by the pail or twenty pounds Is
selling at rs cents.
President Baer was asked to-day If there
would be enough coal in this city to supply
the demand before winter sets in. "Oh,
certainly he said. This idea that there
is going to- be scarcity Of coal this winter
Is simply scare. There will be plenty of
coal in New York before the cold weather"
Mayor Low received a telegram from the
mayor of Detroit to-day asking him to APP
point ten men to confer in Detroit on Oct
regarding the coal strike situation. The
mayor said he was considering the mat
ter." After considering the matter all day
Mayor Low decided to seek further in
formation regarding the conference before
he would take any action. He sent the
following telegram to Mayor Maybury, of
Detroit:
Telegram received. / shall be very glad

Eggs and Eggs.
Philadelphia Record.

An egg is egg in commerce, and the
housewife who buys a dozen eggs pays
the same price, whether they be large or
that eggs are only about half as large as
they used TO be. There Is a good bit OF
truth in this" said a produce merchant
yesterday. You know eggs are sold by
count, and every egg. large or small, counts
one. But large egg takes up more room
than a small one. This doesn't make much
difference where one egg is concerned, but
when a packer puts millions in cold stor-
age the difference In favor Of small eggs
amounts TO considerable. And that's why
you get small eggs. laid by dwarf hens
Matched in broods of thousands by the in
cubators. Are you on?"

to-day, not even a case of stone throwing
being reported. Sixty boys from the Pow

on strike to-day because the principal of
the school refused to turn out seven chill
dren of nonunion men. They then marched
with banners and drums to the Mayfield
school and induced the boys there to strike.
A majority of the pupils at No. IL school
in this city struck to-day because coal
which was being delivered at the school
was reported to be mined by nonunion
men.
