DISPUTE OVER ABSENT JUDGE.
Van Wormer Murder Case the Occasion for
a Unique Controversy.

Albany April z9.-The case of the three Van
wormer boys. who under stay from sentence
of death for the murder OF their uncle Peter Hal
lenbeck, near Kinderhook. Columbia County on
Christmas Eve 1901. occasioned in the Court of
Appeals dispute absent judge. The case
was on the calendar for argument to-day, but was
crowded over unul tomorrow.
The defendants counsel. who have fought every
inch of the ground for their clients discovered that
the absence of Judge Bartlett to-day account
of a death in his family left the court with only
six judges sitting instead of the full bench OF
seven At once they raised the question of the
suficiency of such court The code Of civil pro-
cedure expressly provides that all cases shall be
deemed be submitted to the absent judges, but
there appears to be precedent in the matter so
far as concerns criminal cases. Chief Judge Parker
expressed the Willingness of the court to put the
until some day when a full bench should
be present, provided the opposing counsel could
agree upon a date.
The Van Wormers visited their uncles house in
the evening masked and armed, with the intent
as they claim to scare him into giving them money
He resisted with a shotgun and was killed at the
door of his house and in the presence OF his
wi Harvey Bruce. who was with the Van
W3rmers turned States evidence. and the three
brothers were sentenced TO die in the week of
May 30, 1902. The case has since been delayed upon
appeals

RUSH TO BUY COAL.
Price Raised. But Demand Is IN
Drfcedented for Season.

In view of the fact that President Baer OF the
Reading company testified yesterday before the
Interstate Commerce Commission that ne was
to nut the price of coal up 10 cents ton the
first of the month. and to raise 1t to 81 ton at
tideyater and keep 1t there If the market Would
stand f. II is interesting to note that now the
people are buying coal from the retailers IN
vastly greater quantities than ever before at
this time Of year
One retailer yesterday declared that the trace
throughout the city was 30 per cent greater
than ever before The consumers, frightened
nv last years strike and shortage, are. accord
ing to this dealer, filling up their bins for the
next cold season. Yet the price of coal is oU
cents a ton higher than last year 81 % instead
or 81 q ton at tidewater s. 75 instead of 50 %
to the consumer.
Never before have seen anything like It,
said the dealer. I'm former years we have So
Ucfted summer orders. Now our customers
come to us and ask US to fill their bins They
don't care so much about the price, either They
want the coal / can't fill order given now
within two weeks. If 1 were to stop taking
orders now have enough business TO keep me
busy for two months. I expect that this rush
will keep UP. too.
You can see for yourself that the other deal
ers are fixed as we There were only two
willing TO bid on a recent city contract, only
two willing TO bid on a recent government
contract And the people will buy even If the
price does go up. The extra 30 cents President
Baer proposes to put on the tidewater price, In
addition to 80 cents already added TO pay the
cost Of the strike. Will make the retail price
Sc 25 instead of the So % of last year. But the
people want the coal and will have it.
Another dealer, Michael z. Burns. of Burns
Brothers one of the committee OF three dealers
chosen by the Mayor TO act with the represen-
tatives OF the coal carrying roads in obtaining
cheap coal for the poor said yesterday that the
rush of coal buyers was unprecedented. He
expected he said that Ii would continue at
least through the next month, and should mean
a lively business for the coal companies all
summer.

Of this new venture of American capital:
I'm two years we have built a line frona
Santiago de Cuba to the City of Santa
Clara, to connect with an existing road
from Santa Clara to Havana. The road
was formally opened for business Dec
S, and there is now through passenger and
freight service from Havana to Santiago
When the road is in full operation, the
trip can be made in not less than day
and half. 1t used to take week to go
around the island by steamer e.
I'VE are now building a branch, forty
miles long, running from Alto Cedro. a
point on the line fifty miles from Santiago,
to Nipe bay on the northern coast. 1t is
the company's intention to make quite a
city Of Nipe, and to operate line Of
steamers from there. to New York and
make the ocean trip in forty-eight hours
1t will be fine thing for excursionists,
and will doubtless bring many of them.

settled In Cuba, for the interior of the
