To Keep up Price Of Coal.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, September "a
The orders for a restriction of the
anthracite coal output, has affected
nearly all the collieries in this region.
Today orders we're issued by the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company to close
down it's twenty collieries on Satur-
day and Monday. The Susquehanna
Coal Company will place it's sixteen
collieries idle on Friday and Satur-
day. The Deleware and Hudson
Company has posted notices at it's
eight collieries, in this vicinity, that
the mines would be worked but five
hours day until further orders. 1t
is said that the Delaware, Lackawan-
na and Western Company will place
its collieries on three-quarter time.
The Reading Coal Company will also
restrict the output by shutting down
some of it's collieries for repairs.
Over $4,000, 600 tons of coal have
been mined since January l, which is
several tons more than was ever pro-
duced for a like period in the history
of the mining industry. The present
glut in the market and the efforts to
prevent break in prices is the cause
of the restriction.

QUEER STORY FROM sALUDA.
Somebody Seems Anxious to Find
Out the Opinions of the Men
Drawn on the Lexington Jury.

Saluda, Sept. 22.-Anent the James
set for Monday next, there is a very
curious story today being told here.
Who started it; why it was started,
and whether it has any foundation Or
is the fabrication of some fertile mind,
your correspondent knows not. 1t is
simply given as it was picked up on
the streets here today.
AS the story goes it is as follows:
Just after the jury for the first and
second week for Lexington County
was drawn and their names published,
party appeared in That county in the
guise of an agent for picture-enlarg-
ing establishment somewhere. He
made it his business to call upon each
and every juror who had been drawn
and solicited some work. In order to
show the character of the work done
by the house he represented he pro-
duced as samples enlarged pictures Of
we'll known South Carolinians-several
of them-and finally would hold up
one of James b. Tillman, with the
remark, 81 suppose you at once re-
cognize this likeness?" or something
of that kind. Then the unsuspecting
person addressed would remark, Eyes,
that is Jim Tillman,'' or "Col. Till
man, who killed Gonzales" ETC., and
if the juror were given to talking he
would say thus and so about the case,
and whether he ought or ought not to
be convicted, etc, etc. The agent
would show no signs of interest, but,
so the story continues, would know
just how the party approached felt
and stood on the matter, and after
learning would jot down the state
ments made to him for future reference.
AS stated at the outset. it is not
known who originated the story or
where.it originated. 1t is being told,
however, just about as we have given
it. And all who hear it, as we'll as
those who repeat it, are wondering
whether it is true in part and false in
part, or whether it is true or false
altogether. At any rate, it is a strange
story, but not more so than its origin.
