JOKE GETTING SERIOUS.
Correspondence Started in Fan May
lead to Marriage.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Oct. M.-Seceral
months ago several young society men
of Council Bluffs were surprised on re-
ceiying letters from the same number
Of young women residents of Boston.
The letters We're couched in guarded
language, yet betokening culture and
refinement. For some time the recip-
tents of the epistles We're at a loss to
understand wha means the young
ladies had employed in securing their
addresses, finally discovering that
through a former society acquaintance
now associated with a Boston financial
concern, the young aides had been
given the addresses and induced, in a.
spirit Of fun, to write the letters.
The correspondence grew in volume
and interest, and from a joke grew Sc
1ious, bat the young men We're not
satisfied with what was to be learned
through correspondence, hence last
night dispatched n OF their number,
E. C. Riker, to Boston to secure and
add to their fund of Information more
to satisfy their craving for knowledge
Of the young Boston women
Bakers expenses are being paid by
funds from a pot contributed to by
each of the six or eight young Bluffs
men whose curiosity and interest In
their Boston feminine friends is bound
to be gratiied. Upon the report which
Mr.. Riker is able to make upon his re-
turn will undoubtedly depend several
matrimonial alliances.

London. Oct. 24.-P. MacFayden, head
OF MacFayden & Co.. bankers, whose
suspension was announced Saturday,
committed suicide within an hour after
the posting of the notice Of the failure
on the door Of the bank. He threw
himself before a train in the tunnel.
MacFayden appears to have gone di.
rect from the bank to the station Of the
City and South London railway, to
have entered the tunnel unobserved and
to have deliberately lain down in front
of an approaching train. The engineer
reported having run over an obstruction
in the tunnel and search revealed a
shockingly mutilated body, which today
was identified as MacFayden.

Long keys, who m~iraculously escaped
death, arrived here on the Russian
steamer Jennie, among other survivors

storm at 5 o'clock Thursday morning
and was driven out into the gulf
through Sawks channel. At 6 o'clock
the h~ouseboat began to break UP, and

men being crushed to death In the col-
lapse, the others grabbing timbers TO
save themselves from drowning. En-

succeeded in getting a log and fioated

The Russian steamer Jennie sighted

WILL REOPEN
/ COAL INQUIRY
Commerce. Commissioned Make
Investigation in PennsyI-
vania.
DEVELOP NEW SITUATION
Inquiry Is Expected to Show There 1.
a Community of Interests and 4
Common Ownership of Mines
and Railroads.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 24.-The In
terstate Commerce commission is maxi
ing It's plans for reopening the coal in
Qulry under the Tillman-Gillespie res
oiutlon, IN pennsylvania. One Of the
commissioners last week went to Phil.
adeiphla to confer with Attorney Glas-.
gov with reference to the prosecution
OF the inquiry in the anthracite fields.
1t mas not been decided just when the.
matter will be taken up again, but it
Will be during the present year, and If
possible before the opening Of the ses-.
sion Of congress.
This inquiry into the anthracite sit
uatfon is expected to develop a very
different situation than that which was
brought out in the investigation Of the,
relations Of railroad and coal compa-i
MES In h Pennsylvania bituminousl
fields. In that case. it will be recalled
the coal companies were found to have
been in the habit Of securing transport,
tation favors by donating blocks Of.
their stocks to the operating officers Of
the railroad. This made matters ex-l
tremely embarrassing for some of the|
salar1ed employees in the executive de-,
partment of the railroad, but did not
involve the ultimate management. :
Different in Anthracite Region.
In the anthracite field the expectation
is that a different condition will be-
shown. There, according to the De-
velopments in former hearings, the
community of interest was more d.,
rectly between the railroad companies
and the coal companies. The coal cons
pan1es were largely controlled by the
railroad corporations, and the inter-
locking Of interests vas SO intimate
that it was difficult to determine where
one began and the other ended.
In the Hearst case a considerable
volume of evidence was brought out.
which will be used as a basis from
which to prosecute the coming in
quiry. But the Gillespie res
olution opens up some important new
fields of inquiry that were not entered
upon in the prosecution Of the Hearst
case. Mr.. Hearst alleged a conspiracy
in restraint of trade and of the inter-
state act, and the commits
sion undertook to determine whether
this existed. The case has not yet been
decided. In the coming investigation
the question of discrimination In car
service, ETC., will be taken up. If 1T ia
proved, as expected, that there is COM
mon ownership of the anthracite mines
and railroads., then under the new In
terstate law the railroads will have to
dispose Of their coal holdings, for the
two lines IF business must be divorced

STEAMERS CREW RESCUED.
Stranded Ship Off Norfolk Likely t

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 23.-The steamer
George Farwell, timber laden, from
Jacksonville, Fla, for New Haven,
Conn, is ashore off Cape Henry and

Captain j. d. Chisholm and his crew
of fifteen men were landed sunday
by the life saving crews from the

The steamer, laden with $4,000 feet
of cypress timber, went ashore during
q gale. She left Jacksonville Friday,
October ~. From the start she en-
countered heavy winds and was forced
to go far out of her course. Captain
Chisholm describes the storm of Fri
day as the worst in his twenty years
experience along the Atlantic coast.
AT that time a dense fog was gath
ering. Soon it obscured the beacon, and
the noise of the wind and sea prevented
the warning siren at the cape being
heard. Shortly before 8 o'clock In the
evening the lookout at Cape Henry life
saving station saw the steamers lights
close in shore, and about the same time
the Farwell hit the beach. The life
savers hurried to the scene. On the
second shot from the line gun the crew
OF the steamer caught the line, and be-
fore / o'clock in h morning twelve
seamen had been hauled through the
curl IN the DfeecneS buoy. lIiere were
left aboard Captain Chisholm, the first
and second officers and the chief engi-
neer. They lasned the breeches buoy
to the mast and refused to come ashore
so the life AYERS had to stay by on the

New York, Oct. 24.-That a 100000
600 beef trust is in the course of Or
%ganization, backed by English capital,
lists, was confirmed last night by Fred.
erick Sulsberger, Of the firm OF
Schwarzchild & Sulsberger.
While declining to enter into a dis
cussion OF the matter, Mr.. ~Sulsberger
said that his packing house had been
invited to join, but had absolutely re"
fused to be a party to the merger: The
Schwarzchild & Sulsberger company
takes this stand because such a merger
could only be operated in direct viola-
tion of the antitrust law.
Through one of the most prominent
bankers in his city it was learned to-
day thai an attempt had already been
made to obtain the $500, 600, 600 in this
city to finance the merger on the propo-
s.tion that the holding company would
move to London for charter purposes.
schwarzchild & Sulsberger were fined
for beef trust affiliations, but it is said
the company gave the government val
