WILL ATTACK
COAL TRUST
Anthracite Combine Will
Have to Fight.
Interstate Commerce Com
mission to Hear Testimony
Next Week in Relation to
Charges Against Barons.

Proceedings against the coal railroads
are to be instituted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The members
of the commission will meet In New
York next Tuesday and begin to hear
testimony In relation to the charges
that the coal roads have com bined in
restraint of trade and In violation of the
interstate commerce law.
Formal charges of this character have
been presented to the commission, and, /,
it is said, evidence heard and published
by the Anthracite Coal Strike Com mis-
sion goes long way toward establish
ing the evidence of agreement between
the roads contrary to law.
The commission would have begun its
investigation under any circumstances,
but since the decision in the Northern
Securities case it is felt that the contem-
plated action assumes new Importance
and Significance. The commission has
only to establish reasonable proof that
an illegal combination exists in order to
bring the attention of the attorney gene
raj to the probable violation Of law, and
the latter will institute proceedings in
court.
officers of all the coal roads will be
summoned before the commission, and
such other witnesses are thought to be
In possession of useful information.
The inquiry is not expected to last
more than week or two until evidence
enough to base formal suit has been
secured

Crescents Win Again.

Wednesday evenings basket ball
game resulted in victory for the Cres-
cents by score of IL to 8. The game
was called by Referee Hartman and
during the first half the locals had
everything their own way and ran up a
total of points while Mahanoy Plane
failed to secure point
The local admirers looked for shut
out for the visitors and it could no
doubt have been given had the Cres-
cents continued to play ball. AS it was,
they permitted their opponents in the
second half to run up basket after bas-
ket and when time was up the score for
the half stood: Crescents, 3; Mahanoy
Plane, o.
The final score was: Crescents, IL;
Mahanoy Plane, 0.

For the Good of the Town.

A movement was started today by
several prominent business men Of town
to reorganize the Board of Trade, or to
effect an organization of some similar
body which will take up for considera-
tion the welfare of the town. The pro-
moters are meeting with considerable
success and are given encouragement
wherever they broach the subject, and
expect to be able in a day or two to fix a
date for public meeting.
Among other things which it is said a
Board of Trade could secure is new
trolley road, which will give Freeland

villages between White Haven and ST..

THEATRICAL.

In selecting a company to present the
great American comedy drama, "The
King OF the Coal Fields" Manager Nc
Dowell was careful to engage only those
artists who were particularly suited to
the characters entrusted to them. Jack
Dalton, the hero, is played by one of the
best leading men in the country, while
the comedians, Shultz, Mike Donovan
and Danny Mcmahon, are all we'll
known to playgoers. The dainty Kitty
Dalton, who has been chosen for the
soubrette role, is a mistress in her line.
She is pretty, graceful and full of life.
She sings and dances with unususal
skill, and the same may be said of the
comedians, who also have specialties.
Music is always demanded in a play
nowadays, and the specialties in "The
King of the Coal Fields" afford pleas
ing contrast to the serious portions of
the entertainment.

In addition to the threeact operetta,
1.-The Minstrel OF Capri" which is to be
produced at the Grand opera house on
Monday evening for the benefit of st.
Anthony's Catholic church, the program
of the evening includes a number of
other features. One Of these Is a toy
symphony, rendered in comical cos
TUNES, with an eccentric musical dir
ector Another is burlesque on the
Anthracite Coal Strike Commission, pre-
pared by j. F. Everbard, musical dir
ector at the Grand opera house, and is
said by those who have witnessed the
rehearsals to be one of the best bur-
lesques ever attempted on the local
stage. 1t abounds with local hits and is
bound to cause much merriment.

INDICATIONS POINT
 TO COTTON SHORTAGE.

Following is the weather bureaus weekly bulletin on crops in Arkansas for the week ending September IA:
 The temperature was nearly sea- sonal with copious and fairly well dis tributed showers on the 10th; rain is still needed, however, over the state for fall blowing. Cotton has made no improvement and in some sections has lost ground and indications point to short crop. However, rain and a late fall would improve the general prospects. There is still some com plaint of shedding and rust, and boil worms and sharp shooters are injur- ing it in some sections; it is beginning to open and picking has begun, but it is not general.
 Late corn is suffering from lack of moisture and does not promise to make full crop; early corn is made and is an average crop. Having and fodder pulling are nearly completed; good yields of excellent quality were secured. Late potatoes and turnips are coming up, but are not doing very well, owing to continued dry weather. Sweet potatoes, field peas, sorghum and cane are good crops, and sweet potatoes are being harvested. As a rule pastures continue good. The late apple crop will be short, and the quality inferior; peaches are almost a failure and pears are scarce.

DENIED WIFE A KISS.
Forthwith Mrs. Sarah Bostic Slew Her Husband at Charlottesville, Mo
 Held for Murder.

Charlottesville, Mo, Sept. 15.-Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Bostic shot and killed her husband, Thomas A. Bostic, last night about 12 o'clock.
 The tragedy occurred at their resi- dence in this city. Immediately after the shooting Mrs. Bostic sent for a physician and the police. Dr. Grove and Policeman Kelley responded. The officer and physician found the woman standing over her husband bathing his head. She said, sDoctor, do all you can for him; save his life if pos sible.''
 Bostic was lying on cot. He was shot with 38-calibre pistol, the ball entering the back of his head and coming out over the right eye. Pow der burns were around the wound in the back of his head. He could not have moved after being shot, although it was three hours later when he ceased to breathe.
 "This looks like a bad case," said Policeman Kelley.
 "Yes," responded the woman, "but had to do it. My husband came home mad tonight. I got up and opened the door for him. He un- dressed and lay down on the cot. asked him if he would make up and kiss me goodnight. He said that he wanted none of my kisses and that he would end it all.

 Doss arrested oneMilsaps .r,onetor,a afternoon and attempted to sopdov cl partner, one Dalton, who took &,his ol tage of gun play on the part of X T saps to break away. The arrest was the result of suspicion on the part of the officer that two fine mules and saddles, which the parties were at tempting to dispose of at very low figure, were stolen property. A brand on one of the saddles caused the officer to communicate by telephone with the Morrilton authorities, when he ascertained that an important cap ture had been effected. An early morning train brought Deputy Sheriff Horton and Constable Reed from At kins, Pope county, who identified the prisoner, and will take him back as soon as further search is made for his pal. The mules and saddles proved to be stolen property, and the culprits are also charged with burning the store of w. B. Sutton at Diamond, Pope county, on the night of the 10th. Milsaps, the man in custody, is an ex- convict, having served term in the state penitentiary for robbery in Van Buren county. Dalton left town on foot, and it is believed he will be ar rested. Both men were armed with Colts revolvers, and the Pope county officers say they are desperate char acters.

 In the first place, it was generally understood that V. c. Richardson was to be matched against Barry in ten round glove contest, and the crowd of over hundred were not slow about expressing their disappointment when it was found that picked-up boxer named Nelson was to be Barry's oppo- nent in the ring.

THRIFTY NEW WORKERS.
Numbers nj the Savings
Banks.

New Workers are thrifty. That is
readily seen during Il visit to any of
the big savings banks. a call be
tween ten in the morning and three
in the afternoon at a bank near Her
aid square demonstrates this quite
palpably says the Herald.
There is a constant stream OF
Joung and old, wealthy and poor,
coming to deposit their savings.
There is the small boy, with his first
dollar saved; the hard-working wGm-
an, clutching in her hands the few
dollars to be laid aside for "A rainy
day, and the young colored swell
from Seventh avenue, depositing some
of his earnings at the race track.
1t is not difficult to see who come
to deposit and who to draw money.
The latter usually have a sad express
sion of countenance, while the for
mer seem joyful and jubilant. And
this is only natural, as persons who
can lay by money have more cause
for JOY than those obliged to draw
it,
