WANTS SMITH
TO SELL COAL
Glasgow Firm Tells Him
How He. Can Beat the
Coal Combine.

Mayor r. A. Smith has been offered
an opportunity to pave his way to fu-
ture fame by assisting in the downfall
Of the coal combine. Mcclure, limited,
of GLASGOW, Eng, wants him to act as
agent for their Goals.
In a personal letter addressed. to
Mayor Smith yesterday, Mcclure, limit
ed. offer to provide him with anthra-
cite for municipal use at Sd per ton
and the soft product all the way from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton. The company
agrees to deliver the coal f. o. b. at
GLASGOW and pay the export duty.
ITS rather tempting" said his hon.
or yesterday afternoon after perusing
the letter, land I guess could sell a
few tons If I had some here now, but
the money, there's the rub.
Might use my contingent fund.-" he
added, "but l am afraid there won't be
any left after the conventions get
through with it,
According to the letter, several Ca
madam cities are heavy consumers Of
the GLASGOW firm and take this method
Of beating the coal trust. They buy it
in the name of the city and retail it
to the residents of the municipality at
cost. The claim is made that it has
had the effect Of bringing the price
of the home product down to the nor
NAL figure.
st. Paul, says some officials, could
hardly go into the coal business, as its
charter does not allow such a depar-
ture, and besides. the freight charges
would be too high. Mayor Smith says
he is willing to try ton or two If
some one will show him." but from
present prospects he thinks he will stay
out Of the business.
The GLASGOW firm wants to quote
st. Paul rates on coal delivered at its
gates.

Minneapolis
BOTH WOULD WED
THE SAME WOMAN
Two Marriage Licenses Issued, With
Zolia Antoun AS Principal in Each.

Zolia Antoun AS Principal in Each.
Two marriage licenses were issued in
Minneapolis yesterday to wed the same
girl. One of them was issued to dep
Abraham, who was in a desperate hur-
ry to get the little legal formality done
with, and the other about ten minutes
later to Joseph Fargellah.
Fargellah had a premonition that he
was late. He entered the clerks office
on the run and inquired first of all
whether any other man had taken out
license to marry.
Marry who?" inquired Sweetzer, the
clerk, who is something of stickler
for the proprieties.
MY girl" retorted FargelIah, ex-
citedly turning over the leaves of the
register.
May inquire" pursued Mr.. Sweet
ger, who your girl is?"
'Zolia Antoun," cried young Fargel-
lah, anXiouSly. He nearly collapsed
when told Abraham had beaten him out
by full lap and that unless he hur-
ried there would be something doing
in the way of a marriage ceremony be-
fore he could interfere. At that the
aff1righted youth took out his license,
paid his money and started on a run
to intercept the perfidiouS Abraham
who, it appears, had been rejected by
the young woman, but hoped to compel
her acquiescence by the power of his
Svengai optic.
From all that can be cleaned
through conversations with the agita-
ted SWANS, Mile. Zolia is in curious
predicament. Both men swear that she
has promised them marriage and both
also insist that they have the appro-
val of the young Woman's parents.
Another curious condition is that
there are two wedding breakfasts wait
ing to be eaten in two distinct parts
of the city. Just where it is impossible
to tell, because both Zolia's lovers
proved uncommunicative in that direc-
ton. Last night the girl, who lives
at III Third avenue northeast, an
nounced that she was going to marry
Abraham this morning.

Minneapolis delivery wagon. The
team of which Mr.. French claims the

Johnson was driving his wagon on Mic

he was stopped by French, who grab
bed the horses by the brides and held
them up.
Johnson objected to so high-handed
a proceeding and for a moment there
were doings. In five minutes CONVEX
sation, however, French convinced
Johnson that the horse had been stolen
from him by a man named Clegg, and
the matter was finally adjusted by
Johnson's paying French the price Of
the animal,

named Thomas Conroy, who told her
that he loved her and other pretty tales
Of a very ancient authorship.
Miss Biskup thought Conroy's COM
positions were original and bought the
lot outright for $500.
Miss Biskup has appealed to the Min
neapolis police for assistance in locat-
ing Conroy, who turns out to have
been a married man. Miss Biskup has
definite information that Conroy and
the woman whom he claims as his wife
are both living in Minneapolis at pres
ent.
Miss Biskup says that she advanced
theMmoney to Conroy on his statement
that he could get valuable claims in
Northern Minnesota for very little
money and that he would make a
home for her in this state. They were
to have been married very shortly.
Conroy wrote to the young woman first
for 500 and later for the balance of
the $500, which was sent him., Since
that time he has been missing.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 3.-The Great
Northern coast line and the Northern Pa
cific line to Summas are the only lines Of
railroad out of Seattle which are open to-
night. For three hours today, even these
lines were blocked by snoWslides. Floods
have interrupted the train service on the
west side of the mountain, and snowslides
in the mountains have added to the trou-
BILE. In addition there have been numer-
GUS small slides occurring on the west
side lines.
The acme in the railroad food situa-
ton was reached tonight when the White
and the Stuck rivers, in King and Pierce
counties went over their banks, burying
the interurban and Northern Pacific tracks
between them, and there is no telling how
great the damage will be.
Train service between Seattle and Ia
coma has been abandoned, and at mid
night it was said that there was no telling
when 1t would be re- established
The Northern Pacific advices from Au-
burn are to the effect that there were
several washouts near Auburn, and that
the big bridge between Auburn and Ia
coma was tottering and ready to go out at
any time.
