Company closed its doors to-day and went
into the hands OF q receiver.
The nows Of tho closing spread rapidly
and In half an hour the doors Of the in.
stitution were thronged by an excited crowd
OF depositors. SO great was the disorder
that for time a riot seemed imminent
Word was sent to Police Headquarters
and a squad was despatched to preserve
order.
The president of the concern Ia j. Hamp-
ton Moore. former City Treasurer. who
month ago resigned IA chief Of the BIZ
reau Of Manufactures Of the Department
OF Commerce and Labor to assume his po-
sitlon with the trust company. Mr.. Moore
will probably be appointed permanent
receiver OF the concern and will wind up its
affairs.
He declared tonight his belief that the
company would be able to pay It's depositors
dollar for dollar. The City Trust company
had such supreme faith In Gaskill and his se-
curit!es that the directors loaned him $780,
600 on certificates calling for stock Of the
Philadelphia Traction Company and the
United Companies Of New Jersey
Recently these companies have redeemed
SO 900 worth Of these certificates, but others

WASHINGTON, June 81 Until President

no developments in the peace situation.

the Japanese Minister and the Russian
Ambassador will have Informs ton in hand

the date of meeting Of the peace plenipo-

from Russia and Japan.
The question of an armistice IS con-

the meeting of the plenipotentiaries. 1t
has been definitely established that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has urged that an armistice
ba had, but neither Russia nor Japan has
made known her position on the question.
although Japan has indicated very plainly
that If there is to be an armistice the re-
guest for it must come from Russia
As far as can Ne learned, however. there

that there will be any change until Friday,

The Fourth.

The Observance Of the Fourth of
July as national holiday has changed
in character as much as has the
manner OF life Of Americans. Time
was when this day was celebrated
with flag raisings, militia drills,
patriotic addresses, barbecues,
bonfres, and the crude illumlnations
Of those whose only resources for the
purpose were pine knots and tallow
candles Time was when it was set
apart as a day TO be seriously abserved
by patriotic men and women in
expressions Of JOY and thankfulness
to the God of Hosts for victory In
a just cause and the triumph of the
liberal principles of the Declaration
Of Independence. With the growth Of
industralism the Fourth Of July has
become a mere picnic day for the
dwellers in cities and a vacation for
other people. Only children celebrate
1t in a manner different from other
holidays. To them it is frecracker
day-a sort of children's modern
saturnalia. Its character as a
patriotic day is almost entirely lost.
And yet we are not to infer that
there has been so great decline Of
patriotism as this change would seem
to indicate, People work too hard
Ow-a-days to make a mere show Of
patriotism. But the change is not
improvement.

Importance Of the Coal Deal.

The extension of the holdings of
Western Coal and Mining Company
reported 10 the DAILY INTELLIGEN-
GER Of Tuesday is a matter of much
interest and Importance to the people
of Lexington. 1t will be seen how
greatly the local industry affects the
business welfare of the city when it
is remem bered that the pay roll of
this one company is more than
$4,000 per month, more than half a
million dollars year The output of
coal is between $4,000 and 400, 900
tons per annum, valued ut from
5000, 600 to 100000. The number
Of persons employed Is about 600; the
average daily output, about so cars or
l,50O tons. The company operates
five mines, Summit, Valley, Midway,
Glen Oak and Seawel, and has about
three miles Of it's own railroad. 1t
mines about l50 acres year and has
with recent accessions by purchase
1900 acres yet unmined. II is be-
lieved to be the intention OF the COM
pany to extend the railroad about a
mile and sink another shaft on the
/
rrall farm. This would mean larg-
er pay roll aud greater output. 1t
will be seen that the Coal Company
now has enough coal, at the present
rate of mining, TO occupy It's atten-
tion for about twenty-five years.
And this is the record OF only one
of the companies and individuals
operating mlpeS IN the Lexington
field To what extent the pro, perlty
of this city is due to the coal industry
may be in part inferred from the
figures given above.
