BIG COAL MERGER.
New England and English Capital.
 ists Are Interested in It.

Boston, Sept 15.-The Herald to- day says: "A coal merger, whose scope is said to be the largest in the history of Cape Breton. is engaging the attention of New England and English capitalists interested in. the industry in the maritime provinces. The men behind the movement are Henry NJ. Whitney of this city who has long been an influential factor in the coal industry of the region; B. F. Pearson of Halifax, and Graham Fraser, formerly director of works of the Dominion Iron q Steel com- pany. When the merger is effected. which will be In the near future, 1t is said, 1t will equal if not surpass In commercial importance the Domin- ion Coal company. which mas hitherto dominated the Cape Breton colliery business.
 "A factory of the first importance in the new enterprise will be the of . new shipping point. Port Morien, from which the combined product of the areas included in the merger will be shipped. Port Morien is reached at much less expense than either of the present outlets. Sydney and Louisburg. On account of the fact that the harbor is open all the year round, 1t is regarded as an ideal port for shipping purposes. It Is understood that the proposed amal- gamation will embrace practically all of the coal properties still indepen- dent of the Dominion Coal company and the area covered is reported to be larger than that of the Glace bay industry. Negotiations have been proceeding quietly for some time.
 Henry NJ. Whitney yesterday ad- mitted that such . plan was under way. T have heard nothing recently from the provinces regarding the progress of the project he said, and therefore cannot say anything about It's present status. 1 am not the prin- cipal In the matter. Graham Fraser Is the guiding force in the move ment.'"

CURES AND CUTTERS.
Mayor Farrel Thinks Property Own CTS Should Put Them Down.

Mayor Farrell of Ansonia has been talking about curbs and gutters and like, most Connecticut men who have wrestied with that question, he makes the mistake of railing at private indi. yiduaIs for being somewhat slow about taking up burdens which they know should be borne by the public. Why should a man who owns house or building lot in Ansonia be obliged to go outside the street line to set curbs. pave gutters and put down sidewalks on property which the city has appropriated for public use and where he couldn't set down q hltchlng post for bis own accommo- datIon without permission from the powers that he? A man who pays his taxes regularly. keeps his house and yard in a presentable condition and gives the police no trouble would he considered an ideal citizen In some places. but in Ansonla and other Con necticut towns he Is regarded as ( sort of law breaker unless he steps outside the street line and spends money maintaining and repairing sidewalks that don't belong to him. The sidewaIks of Ansouia are the property of the municipality and should be cared for out of the regular appropriations. When Mayor Farrel and eGery other man like-hIm puts the expense of curbs. gutters and side walks where it belong Ansonia and other towns in the state will have uni- form walks just as they have In other parts of the country. hut so long as the whole of the cost Is put upon few the law will be evaded and the end in view never VIII be attained

 Trolley Line
EAST MAIN STREET DANGEROUS

Horsemen and automobiles should be careful as to how they drive along East Main street after dark, as the going is very bad be- cause of the laying of the double track by the trolley company. One night during the week Q chauffeur was driving his car at a rapid pace and did not have time to slow up as a horse and carriage came round the corner. To avoid an acident he had to steer into the uncovered ties and the machine went bounding along the rails for about one hundred yards. When 1t was brought to g halt the occupants had to alight and put on g new s-oe as one of the old ones had been ruined by the incl dent.

 The investigation Is being con- ducted under an act of congress which directed that the work be done by the department of com merce and labor through the census department. There is nothing per sonal about the records. that is, the names of the parties to divorce are not taken by the investigators. On the printed slips which the depart ment furnishes the investigators are required to tell the state or county in which the parties to the divorce married. the date of the marriage date of separation. date of filling the divorce petition in court. whether the suit was brought by the husband or wife, whether the notice of the suit was by personal service or pub. iication, whether the suit was con. tested and whether the decree of d. vorce was granted.

 Marie Antoinette was slave to cards. On one occasion she played for thirty-six hours at a sitting, with but an intermission ot . couple of hours. The play at tho quesn's table at Fontalnebleu." write the Emperor Joseph II, was like that In com mon gambling house; people of all kinds were there, and mingled with out decorum; great scandal was caused by the fact that several of the ladies cheated" Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's ill-fated queen. was never quite 90 happy as when playing for high stakes. The records of privy purse expenses are full of her winnings from her royal spouse, for she was a lucky player. On the estate of F. c. Benedict, at Greenwich, is one grove in particu- lar that illustrates how much senti- ment there may be after all in a hard-headed man of business. Each tree in 1t has been planted by some distinguished man who is friend of the banker and who planted the tree while on visit to the Benedict home. Of course Grover Cleveland has planted one, and there are oth- CTS by equally famous men, including Joseph Jefferson, the dead comedian, and Thomas Bailey Aldrich. the poet and novelist. On each of the trees Is affixed a bronze plate giving the name of the man who planted 1t and the date of the ceremony.
 This is the kind of weather that makes work for gardeners and others whose business 1t Is to keep track of dead and dying leaves which will be so much in evidence from now on. They were whirled about to-day so rapidly that 1t was out of the ques- ton to corral them, so that the care- taker of the green and his assistants were kept on the hustle all the time and even at that their efforts did not amount to much, for as fast as they carried of one load of leaves the places were filled by others. We have not yet reached the Melancholy Days spoken of by the poet, but if falling leaves are any criterion to go by they cannot be far oil.
 The famous cat and chicken case which stirred up the Brooklyn dis tict month ago has been appealed to the district court. There was a most peculiar situation in this case. The morning after Plumbing Inspec- tor Walker shot Mrs Mutter's two cats she retained Attorney Lynch to sue the plumber for $100 damages. Afterward she relented and gave notice to have the suit withdrawn, but by that time MT Walker entered cross suit so that 1t made very lit- tie difference to her then whether or not her suit was withdrawn as she had one on hef hands to defend. Had she waited and allowed the plumber to act she could have set up the defense that the cats were not hers. they were vagrant cats and any body could have them for meal. Judge Burpee awarded the plumber $24 damages for the loss of 150 chickens that were killed by the cats in question, and from that de- cision Mrs Mutter has appealed.
