This woman came to Plattsburg last

dressed as Mrs. Wilson. They managed to

djena and Illinois on the 1st of April. which
also marks the end of their ''coal year.
Ii this happens, with the entire coal busi-
ness tied UP tight, there win indeed be dam
ge- of the gravest nature. For while the
railroads and the mills continue to run
without anthracite. however the domestic
consumers may suffer. they cannot run
without bituminous coal. A complete ces-
sation of all coal-mining in this country
would within six weeks tie up nine-tenths
of the wheels of industry and commerce.
The visible supply of stored fuel Is so small
and the demands are growing at such
rapid rate that no greater calamity, short
of an actual famine cutting off the entire
food supply of all the people, could be con-
ceived.
Eut there is this ray of hope: While IT
Is next to impossible for the hard-coai
owners to run their mines In the face of
strike, it is not so difficult to operate soft
coal mines, and in case the western collier
les are involved in a general fuel strike
there would still be an output, however re-
duced, to keep the wheels of the country
turning to some extent
Still, the danger is great, and II ls recog-
nfzed today in all the quarters where the
case has been studied or where it is asso-
ciated with the daily task. And so great is
II that the paradox with which these pa
pers opened is justified.
So grave is the danger of a coal strike.

Penalty Imposed Upon Arthur Robin
son for Murderous Assault.

Joseph Booze was fleeing from Arthur
Robinson yesterday afternoon, and Robin
son slashed at him several times with a
knife, succeeding in infiicting several bad
wounds in the back. Robinson was arrest

who happened to be near the scene of the
trouble and he was locked up in the ninth
precinct station. One year less day in
Jail was the sentence which Judge kimball
imposed on this defendant for his assault.
The trouble was over ) cents. The two
young men. had been skylarking together
on the street, it is stated, and one OF them
was mad on account of the practical jokes
of the other. Robinson then asked Booze
for the loan of nickel, but Booze was not
fast enough in handing over the piece OF
money, and Robinson procured a knife
When Booze caught sight of the knife he
decided that safety lay in flight, and he
started to run. But Robinson was with

the wounds referred to. One of them was
thought at first to be serious. In his night
Booze managed to land on Robinson with
a bottle but the wound was slight.

running away when assaulted, making the

While neither periodical has hitherto
gained general circulation, they have. it
is claimed. been read to large extent by
editors, teachers. public officials the ex-

who get at public opinion of the commu-

presented at the bank. it is said, payment
on it was refused the bankers saying that
there were no funds. When that was
learned General Haines consulted with the
police and the arrest of the automobile
agent was determined upon.
Mr. Woods gave bond in $1,000 FOR MS

Part ".

Nature has furnished picturesque set
ting for the mining of hard coal, unlovely
as are the immediate tokens of the in
dustry. On all sides rise the hills. In
the Wyoming valley some of the scenery
is exceptionally beautiful, with the Sus-
quehanna river winding between the great
buttresses, spanned here and there by
bridges, fanked by railroads. Man has
contributed the only ugly features to the
landscape, the breakers and shafts and the
culm banks. In every direction ascend
these giant mounds of coal waste, some.
times a hundred feet high. often a quarter
of a mile long. There is enough coal i'll
these culm banks in the anthracite district
TO keep the world warm for several years
But it is unavailable as an economic p!opo-
stion. The culm-by the way this word Is
invariably pronounced by all sorts and con-
ditions of men in the anthracite region as
though it were spelled "culIum"-is the last
droppings of the breaker screens. together
with the slate that has been picked out and
carried from the coal chutes. Thus much
of the black mass that stands out in the
back yard of the Colleries is worthless,
being unburnable stone. But there is much
good coal mixed in with the black dust,
and many of the breakers have become in
addition ''washeries,' being equipped with
an arrangement whereby the culm is
brought back into the breaker mixed with
a stream of water, filtered and Sifted and
thus sorted into component parts. coal, slate
and slushy powder. Sometimes a culm bank
will yield 80 per cent of good coal, which is
usually of one of the finer grades as to
size, such as "buckwheat" o: rice" used
chiefly for steam making. These fine
grained Goals are occasionally mixed with
bituminous, and the compound makes an
excellent grade of locomotive fuel much
less dirty than unmixed soft coal
Reflling the Mines.
The disposal of the slush, or water-sus-
pended coal powder, is interesting fea-
ture of modern mining. The whole of the
anthracite region is more or less under
mined. Virtually all of Scranton stands
over a honeycomb 1t is indeed exceptional
to find an acre of ground in this district
that is not supported, more or less securely.

doned workings. When the demand for
surface room began to oe felt, some years
ago. and the space occupied by the culm
banks proved valuable, the question OF the
disposal of the waste grew serious. Ihe

bright chan suggested that while getting
