HIS LEG FRACTURED

 Ed Rosamond, general superintendent of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company. while riding in the woods near Qulnton yesterday about p. m, in company wiuh Pete Leland, of Dunn & Leland, sufered a fracture of the right leg above the knee caused by his horse stepping in stump hole and falling over on hlEi.

GRIP THIEF CAUGHT.
Has Stolen Several Dress-suit Cases.
 Tried Smooth Game, But Failed.

Ooffcer Whitney. on duty at the Union passenger station, caught grip-stealer night before last who has been giving much trouble. Several dress suit cases have been taken from the mems waiting room in the last few days. and Officer Whitney finally caught the thief with the goods. When arrested the negro was wearing a stolen prince albert coat which was identified at police headquarters yes terday by the owner.
 At the time of his capture the negro gave his name as John Johnston, but when his name was called before Judge Feagin yesterday he did not answer. Dur ing the night he had exchanged clothes with fellow prisoner in vain attempt to affect a disguise, and said his name was Ben Fletcher. He was recognized without trouble, however. by the officer who made the arrest. and was given s90 and 1s0 days, and was also bound over to the grand jusy on charge of grand lar ceny.

spurious check in with his other Satur- day receipts at his own bank, the Amer ican Trust and Savings bank, from which it passed through the clearing house yesterday morning and was re- turned to the bank on which it was supposed to have been issued, where the forgery was immediately detected. There is no such firm in the city of Birmingham it seems as is named on the face of the check
 Investigation showed how well laid had been the plans of the forger Sometime during last week the negro had gone to Browns Rubber Stamp works and had ordered stamp made according to the above mentioned design. claiming that he was a porter at the bank and that he had been sent for the stamp by the cashier of the bank. The stamp was delivered to him Saturday, and according to later de- velopments, he proceeded to put 1t to practical use.
 It seems that this was not the first MT. Wertheimer stated that he was un- able to give description of the bad customer further than to say that he was very black and apparently about 8 years of age. The most peculiar thing in connection with the man and the one which best shows his cunning is that he Is said to carry with him a detachable gold tooth, or rather shell, which he slips on or off at pleasure. His method seems to have been to present himself before his prospective victim with sham check and darlky grin, in order that when the hap less one discovered his mistake later, he would immediately think of the gold crowned tooth as the most distinguishing mark of identifcation-but when the for ger had passed out again, he would re- move the unnecessary shell from his mouth
 The police department Is unable to throw any light on the matter.

COAL OUTPUT WILL
 SHOW AN INCREASE
MOST OF THE COMMERCIAL OYER. AToRS WHO SIGNED WITH THE SIGNED FOR NEW YEAR.

The indication Is said to be strong that all of the commercial coal companies which had contracts with the union min CTS before the termination of the last mining year. June 90. will renew those contracts within the next ten days. Ed- ward Flynn, president of the Undted Mine Workers of District No 20, Is au- thority for the statement that all those companies, with the exception of five have already signed up for the new year.
 "Of those i've" said President Flynn, 'I have received assurance from four to the effect that they would sign the contract as soon as certain local agree ments could be perfected Of the fifth, I have heard nothing"
 President Flynn refused to dlvulge the name of the fifth company. The miners officials, however, say they are certain of signing up with four of the remaining five unsigned and are almost sure of signing with the fifth.
 A general estimate of the coal mined during the first six months of the present year, ending on the last day in June, places the amount at 6,OOO.OO0 tons. Since it Is practically certain that all of the union worked mines will be resumed with in short time, and as the new under standing is that as little time as possible shall be lost during the next year. those making estimates figure on a considerably larger output for the second half.

SHREWD NEGRO SECURES
 S9 ON SPURIOUS CHECK

As the result of the shrewd work of a to the extent of SS.75 in the coin of the realm, but according to his own state ment, is considerably the gainer in know ledge as to the methods of those adpets who carry on business in somewhat shady way.
 As MT. Wertheimer was seated in the jug and bottle department of his wine store on the corner of Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street last Saturday afternoon at about ' o'clock, negro man entered who stated that he wished to make a 25 cent purchase and asked Mr werthemer to cash check on the Birmingham Trust and Savings company for $9, made out apparently by J. c. Reynolds and company in favor of James Ray, with which name the negro had duly endorsed it on the back. MT. Wer- theimer was somewhat doubtful as to the genulneness of the check but the negro plausibly, explained that as he had been given the check after the banking hours he had gone to W. H. Manly, the cashier of the bank in question, and got him to O. K. it. He showed MT. Wer- theimer where the following was inscribed on the back:
 o. K.
 Birmingham Trust and Savings com pany.
 w. H. Manly, Cashier
 The form was stamped with a rubber stamp, and the o. k. and the signature were filled In with a pen. The matter of the rubber stamp set the dealers doubts at rest, and although his brother, Victor E. Werthemer who happened to be present, told him that he did not be- lieve that the signature looked like MT Manly's, he gave the negro the desired merchandise and SS.75 In change.
 The real swindle came to light yester- day morning. MT. Wertheimer turned the

East Lake Casino.

One of the best houses of the season greeted the Wills Comedy company at the East Lake Casino last night in their second performance of "In Atlantic City, musical hodge podge. The attendance was larger than on the opening night and seemed to indicate a good week for the box office. John B. Wills and James Leslie are old favorites with the company this year and Loretta Marshall, the pret- ty soubrette, is another. The perform ance last night was characterized by more snap and sparkle than on the open ming night and was also better received. For the latter part of the week, with a matinee Saturday, Two Old Crones" will be presented. The last performance of Tn Atlantic City, will be given to- morrow afternoon. Reserved seats are on sale at Parker's drug store.
