Crushed on william street
HiI.

Elmer Mcintyre, 14-year-old lad,

street hill at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon
with such force that his skull was crushed
and he died a few minute later The vic
tim of the accident resided with his
mother, Mrs. NJ. Mcintyre, at 1925 William
street.
During the afternon a large throng OF
boys and girls and several coasting par
ties, in which older pleasure seekers min
gled, had been making speedy flights down
the smooth icy surface of William street,
from Sixth to the Burlington railroad tracks.
The Mcintyre lad had started on his little
sled from the top Of the hill and was sliding
at a terrific speed, when at the intersection
Of Fifth and William he nearly collided
with large coaster returning to the sum-
init. Just behind was being drawn an
other. Unable to avoid a collision, he
crashed into 1t, striking his head upon the

COAL TO GO UP A NOTCH TODAY
Scranton Companies Agree on In
crease of 81 Per Ton I'm Price
of Anthracite.

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 4.-Following the
lead of the Lehigh Valley, the Jersey Cen
trail. the Reading companies. the Delaware,
Lackawanna western company yester-
day acceded to the demand Of its contract
shippers to suspend the s5-S5 contract until
circular and actual market prices again
conform.
Only about half OF the independent op-
orators are selling under the 65-35 con-
tract. They have had to be content with
65 per cent of s. on big sizes and the same
per cent Of 1915 on small sizes, the arbi-
trary figure fixed by the carriers for coal
at tidewater. The independents who we're
not under contract terms have sold their
coal at the breaker for at least s. a ton
and the purchaser looked after the freight.
The contract independents argued that It
was unfair that they should be bound by
an arbitrary circular price when they
could get fully 80 per cent better prices,
and particularly whea other Independents
were getting all that the law Of supply and
demand allows.
This means that the Independents are
now all free 70 sell their coal at the
breaker at the best prices they can secure,
leaving It to the purchaser to deal with
the carrier about freight charges.
In return for the concession the inde-
pendents have promised to favor the east
and New England, where coal is most
needed, and with this end in view they
have already announces that no more coal
will be sold by them at retail.
To generally discourage local consumers
from buying more coal than Is actually
needed an advance in price was agreed
upon, and tomorrow Scrantonians who
want coal will have to pay IS a ton for the
larger domestic sizes. This 81 a ton more
than It was selling for last week. Under
normal conditions 1t sells here for $3.50
delivered.
READING. Pa, Jan. 4.-By midnight to-
night the Reading company expects tC
have transported to market for the past
forty eight hours $500 cars OF anthracite
coal. This movement OF coal began yes
terday morning, and In forwarding this
great quantity the company is breaking
every record. Today every locomotive o.
all classes was pressed into service anC
all available freight crews were called OF
! for help. Most of the $500 cars were
moved today. Oficers estimate that dur
! ing the holidays and because the miner
| failed to get back to work promptly 25O
900 tons of anthracite failed to reacl
! market.
The independent operators of the regiol
mine about 15 per cent of the entire pro

Copyright. 1902 by Press Publishing Coz
BERLIN, Jan. 4.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.) - Emperor
William has been directing much atten-
tion lately to agriculture. He says II
German farmers would only take lessons
from scientific farmers in England or the
United States they could increase their
crops and improve their condition without
state aid.
His model farm In Cadinen is being rap
idly transformed into an Agricultural show
place. When the emperor took posses
sion Of 1t four years ago It was In a con-
dition of wreck, both houses and estate,
badly drained. badly stocked and yielding
no crop worth speaking of. In four years
he changed everything. The house is now
charming English country house and
shooting lodge combined. and the estate of
about 5000 acres. half forest is in a fair
way to add $4,000 year to the emperor s
revenues.
Four years ago only rice and potatoes
would grow in Cadinen. The emperor has
introduced wheat, oats and barley and
mangel wurtzel for cattle. He has put $50
Dutch cows on the estate and every day
their produce goes to Danzig and other
towns in the vicinity The Cadinen milk,
cream. butter and cheese have become
famous throughout the east OF Germany
and command the highest prices. The
emperor's new dairy is modelled upon the
Windsor establishment. A spirit motor
supplies all the power needed.
During his recent stay in Cadinen the
emperor read up all the latest English
books on dairy farming. His attention has
| also been directed to a better breed OF
swine. He has Just bought farm ad-
joining Cadinen, a place called Kickelhof
where he has installed some Of the best

with a splendid. ioury article. admired all

INTEREST RATES GOING UP
Than 1T LID Few Months

Omaha bankers say the tendency of the

has advanced gradually until 1t is prac-
tically per cent higher than It was four
months ago. the prevailing rate being to
per cent. against to 8 per cent on sim
liar paper in August.
A large amount of western cattle paper
which vas placed six months ago at per

loans become due and are renewed. for
much of the cattle which 1t was thought
would be marketed IN December is being

that the conditions which prevail elsewhere
will be seen locally before the end Of the
