THE structure IN question. the second

by fire. is not In imminent danger Of col
lapse. I am informed by the owner, Mr..

in repairing these premises is caused by
a controversy between himself and the
insurance company, and the matter will
shortly be settled by arbitration. but pend
ing settlement the existing conditions
should not be disturbed. AS soon as an
award is made the necessary repairs will
be completed.
.'In view Of the facts stated, would REQ
ommend that reasonable time be given.
In which the parties interested may come
to an understanding, and that the building
be inspected from time to time to see that
rapid deterioration does not take place. and
In case the structure becomes dangerous
to adjoining property that 1t be ordered to
be removed within forty-eight haurs."

SUPPLY INiCREASIN G
SHIPMENTS OF COAL MEETING
THE DEMAND.
High Prices Still Prevail, but There
is Plenty for Those Willing
To Buy.

The shipments of coal to Washington
have continued to increase, 1t is stated, and
the danger of q coal famine here Is de-
creasing steadily. The high prices for fuei
still prevail, but there Is plenty OF coal for
those who have the money to pay Tor II.
At both railroad yards today several
large train loads Of anthracite and btu
minous product have been received. and
the work Of unloading by the local dealers
is progressing. As'indicating the delay IN
the matter of transportation proml-
nent coal operator at Charleston. w.
Va, is quoted as saying that about about ,d tns
of coal for Washington from his mines az
New river, and the fuel has not yet reached
this city. The distance between the New
river coal fields and Washington is about
900 miles, and the trainload OF coal mas
been in transit for about month.
Pursuing the same theme the Wheeling
CIV. Va.) Register says:
West Virginia mines could flood the cities
with coal il there were means OF trans
porting it. But operators In West Virginia
and elsewhere have been clamoring Tor rail-
road cars in vain and the coal lies IDLE at
the mines. In New York 1t is charged that
thousands of cars loaded with coal lie siGe-
tracked just outside the city, purposely
withheld from the market

1t seems evident that they form the back
bone of whatever conspiracy there may be
to profit by the necessities of the people IN
this instance
The charge has been made that some deal
ers have been demanding two prices for an
thracite. That is, one customer has been
able to buy hard coal at $3.50 a ton. while
his neighbor Is obliged to pay $12 per ton
to the same dealer for the same variety.
An explanation Of two prices for the same
product was given today to a prospective
customer in one of the offices Of a large
dealer. The gentleman ordered q ton of
coal and on being informed that the price
was SIP he asked why 1t was that his neigh
Dor could get coal for $3.50 from the same
firm. The answer was to the effect that all
Of the $3.50 a ton coal has been reserved
for regular customers, whose orders have
stood on the books for a long time. The
Reading coal Is furnished to the old Gus
toners at the lower price, while new Gus
TONER'S it was stated. are supplied, If at
all. with independent coal at $12 per ton.

A Shorthand Typewriter.

From Success
Attempts to combine stenography and
typewridng have not been very successful
hitherto. but 1t Is claimed that the problem
has now been solved by Frenchman, M.
Lafaurie. in machine named by him 'the
stenodactyl." In this machine there are
only ten keys one for each finger, and the
position Of the fingers remains the same
throughout the writing. the different sounds
being written by depressing different COM
binations of keys.
In this way sixty-two sounds can be reg
istered which are found to be sufficient for
phonetic writing. The left hand writes the
consonants and the right hand the novels.
and as the hands are employed simultane-
ously. each movement Of the two writes a
syllable. The speed is thus trebled, and an
operator who can write seventy words a
minute on an ordinary typewriter can do
two hundred words on the ''stenodactyl.'' It
is claimed that this type Of instrument is
destined to come into wide use and that It
will practically solve the problem of a uni
versal or International system of stenog-
raphy.
