SOME DEALERS CAUGHT.
Agents Trying to Drum Up Coal Trade
for Nfpped Spectators.

Tor Ntpped Spectators.
The New York Tribune Of today saws: :.
All over tosn coal waH be sold today
for $3.50 tQns This - not theoretical
price. but anthracite can actually be OBJ
tanned at that figure. The general under
standing among retail dealers for the $3.50
quotation goes 4nso effect today. though
there were many places where it was sold
yesterday at that price. 1t is expected that
this rate will Hold without much change
till summer. as 1t is generally conceded to
be the legitimate market price.
High price Tor soft coal has had its back
hopelessly broken, and the bituminous
product Isl selling at anywhere from 81
to $3.50 a ton. This slump effectually dis
poses of q certain bituminous combination
which was forming to maintain the ton
price for the coming year in the neighbor-
hood Of 81.
That the coal situation has made an ex-
traordinarys change is proved by the fact
that the city is full of agents to drum up
coal trade. 81 These men represent dealers
who have become .overstocked and are
trying to unload. The agents are making
what amounts to almost a house toulouse
canvass.
Harry, G. Barber said yesterday that sew
erai OF his patrons had already been APP
preached. But have my regular dealer"
The explanation Of this surprising de-
veiopment is easy. For the last four
months there has been an undersupply
Of Goa! at low figure and plenty Of coal
at sinful rates. The result was that the
high rates dominated the market. Now
there is sufficient coal at the reasonable
rates that. beginning today, will univer-
sally and continuously prevail. But GER
tain dealers have their yards full of high
priced speculative coal, which nobody
wants. 1t Is this coal that has brought
forth the agents. who began their attempt
ed unloading on Saturday and continued
it yesterday. /,
There was only q fair demand for coal
by the pailful yesterday. The Barber yard
had one of the lightest days Of its recent
history. The Salvation Army at the Brave
man building disposed Of sixty or seventy
buckets. The mild weather means that
the tenement houses make no demand for
extra heating. - -.
To sum up the situation. for several
months the public has been a little panfcky:
at present certain dealers who have been
doing Specializing on the side are badly
frightened. and the public are profoundly
Indifferent

HAD RATCHET HIDDEN
Might Have Intended Using
It on Detective.
DAVEY UNDER ARREST
STRANGE ACTIONS CAUSE BELIEF
HE Is INSANE.
Created Excitement in Atlanta-Pos-
sessed Of All Sorts of Queer
Hallucinations.
DAVEY UNDER ARREST

Frank P. Davey, a compoSitor, was ar
rested at Pennsylvania avenue and 1otn
street northwest early this morning ana
taken to the first precinct station. on sus-
picion that he is insane. Last week he was
arrested in Atlanta, Ca, where he was en-
ployed in Darby's printing office. He ere
ated some excitement in Atlanta by strik-
ing a man over the head with a big stick
and shouting murder" fire and police"
from a housetop.
It was stated that Davey imagined him
self a famous detective, and he also seemed
to be laboring under the belief that he had
enemies who were about to assault him.
Detective Ozburn received a letter from
Davey telling him of alleged crooks who
were in the city, and making an offer to as
sist in landing them behind the bars When
the detective accompanied the compositor
to the latter's room he found that Davey
kept Ratchet under his pillow Davey al
terward was placed under arrest. and the
police here were notified.
Relatives in North Carolina avenue south
east were also notified, and a few days
later Davey returned home. How he came
the local police have not yet learned:
He called at Darby's printing office In this
city and caused some uneasiness among the
men employed there. His conduct was re-
ported to the police. and the officers were
asked to lookout for and arrest him.
An Incoherent Letter.
While under arrest in Atlanta Davey
wrote to Recorder Nash Broyles as follows:
Judge Broyles-Dear Sir and Bro: Are
you a Mason? I am. I want to know
when you are going to let me go. My
friend has the money made up for me. so
he told me last night. If you think me
crazy send man with me to D. c. and turn
me over to my friend Maj. Sylvester, and I
will see my friend and your friend. Sen.
Fraternally yours.
FRANK P. DAVEY."
When Detective Ozburn accompanied him
to his room Davey put out the light and
put the door key in his pocket It was only
after the detective threatened to shoot him
that he concluded he would light the lamp
again.
Then the Ratchet was found under the
pillow, and the detective was under the i'm
preston that 1t was Davey's intention to
have used the weapon on him. That hap
pened Friday night and the following Sum
day the detective was surprised when
Davey rushed in his house and seated him
self at the dinner table. The self-tnvited
guest thoroughly enjoyed his dinner and
made no effort at violence. 30
Off for St. Elizabeth's.
The police surgeons examined the pr1s-
oner at the first precinct station today, and
reported that he was fit subject for treat
ment at the insane asylum. The doctors
found that Davey was suspicious of every
body and everything, and also reported that
at times he was violent.
Sanitary Officer Frank arranged to send
him to St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the In
sane this afternoon.
