THREW IT IN THE SEWER
Fatal Coal Mistake Made by a
Washington Colored
= Workman.
New YORK Sun special service.

New York Sun Special Service
Washington. Jan. 15.--Some Of the peo-
pie of Washington have their coal cellars
under the sidewalks. On some of the
streets the sewers run under the side
walks also, and both the coal cellars and
the sewers are reached by man holes in
the pavement, which are covered with
iron plates. This arrangement has caused
an incident which has amused all Wash
ington. A certain banker living on Con-
necticut avenue after persistent entrea-
ties, secured three tons of coal the other
day, for which he paid SIS a ton. The
coal was delivered according to his or
der and dumped on the sidewalk in front
of his house, but colored man. who was
employed to stow it away lifted the plate
from the wrong manlole and shove1ed
all of the coal into the sewer. The city
officials are now after the banker for OBJ
structing the sewer, and the banker is
after the coal dealer for more coal. He
has employed several men. to get the
coal out Of the sewer, but it is. a diff
cult business. They have to send boy
down, who passes it up in tin cups.

! II. Mr.. Jenkins were a greater man than
he is, the resolution would have caused
a. panic almost; but nobody pays serious
attention to it, except to smile when it
is mentioned. Among republicans it is
said rbluntly that Mr.. Jenkins has a good
deal better opinion Of David Bennett HilP s
plank, in the New York state democratic
platform in the late campaign than the
people of New. York state have. Even
| Mr.. Coler the democratic nominee for
governor, it is pointed out, thought 1t
incumbent upon him to repudiate that
plank Many other prominent democrats
repudiated it, and the republicans laughed
at It,, and they are now laughing at Mr..
jenkins for adopting it. - ..... -, T..
| Mr.. Jenkins admits that he does not
know the views OF the other members of
the committee on. the subject. If he did
know, he would not have introduced the
resolution: ....-.
Taking possession OF all the coal beds
and mines and all transportation facili-
ties necessary for the transportation OF
coal would give the government consid-
cradle additional work. It would need, the

steamship line in the United States, te
| say nothing OF the enormous army Of men
necessary to mine the coal, look after the
mines and transport the coal. For the
suggests some little work also, but out
Of sympathy for him the committee or
rules will not consider the resolution very
seriously.
The Effect Of Lifting the Coal Tariff.

on the market in which coal is selling all

Railroads Are Guilty.
The Vest resolution regarding the re-

and Mr.. Tillman resumed his remarks.
He declared that the railroads We're abb
solutely in the saddle on the coal ques-
ton. They mine and market coal and fix
the price, he charged, without. regard to
a solitary Independent operator. He said
it was an infamy the way the press Of
the country was prostituted and lending
itself to befuddle the minds of the people,
and deceive them into the idea that the
railroads are willing and anxious to re-
lieve the distress occasiOned by the coal
famine but that somebody somewhere,
called an Independent operator, is re-
sponsible for the. present condition.
