Ncrihern Coal and Coke Company
Passes Into New Hands.

One of the biggest transsc-
tons i'm coal lands for some
time has just been concluded
in Chicago, when the Northern
Coal and Coke Company of
Kentucky passed into the con-
troll of the Williams and CHS.
holm interests, of Duluth, Mimi.

who, with Vice President G. w.

passed through the city yester-
day morning. The property con-
sists of 300 900 acres located i'm
Letcher, Pike, Knott and Floyd
counties, Kentucky. and is said
to be one of the most valuable
coal properties in the country.
One of the heaviest stock
holders in the company was J.
G. c. Mayo, of Paintsville, XIV.
The value of the deal is about
81, 900 900. The property is said
10 be worth about s., SOC, 900,
and the Duluth parties secure a
controlling interest. Eugene
Zimmerman, formerly Presi-
dent Of the c., II. and d., and
some Eastern friends own about
one tenth of the stock of the
old company, but whether or
not they will let go their hold
ings is not known. The new
company will meet for the cleo
ton of officers at Parkersburg,
W. Va, on December 4.
When asked what the Duluth
purchasers who are among the
biggest iron men in the West
intended 10 do with the prop
erty, Mr.. Mayo said he did not
know how or when they would
develop it. The former owners
of the Northern Coal and Coke
Company are likely TO keep a
substantial amount OF the stock,

from their hands. Cincinnati

LOWER RAILROAD RATES PAY.

When the New Haven Rail
road Company reduced the
passenger rate to two cents a
mile, the officials estimated that
there would be loss of about
800, 900 a year in receipts. The
reduced rate, which affects
-tenths of the system, has
been in operation several
months, and Instead Of the pre-
dicted reduction there is an in
crease in gross earnings. Low
er fares have given the com
pany enough new business TO
more than make good the les
sened profit on each fare.
When the Michigan Central
charter was repealed and a two
cent rate was fixed by the leg
islature the company brought
suit against the State of Michi-
gan for S., 900, 900. BY the time
the case got before the courts
the receipts already showed a
large increase In passenger
earnings. Instead of losing by
the repeal of charter which
gave il the right to charge
three cents a mile, the Michigan
Central had been actually beno-
fitted.
The recent reduction in fare
on the Pennsylvania were made
in confident business belief
that there would bc more profit
for the company in carrying
people for less money.
Other companies are planning
similar reductions. The next
five years will witness unprece-
denied reductions in passenger
fares. Railroad managers are
coming 10 understand the sim
pie scientific principle that there
is more money in doing a large
business with a small margin
of profit on each transaction
than in doing a small business

In the first section Of the Fed

the Government is authorized
TO establish "postoffice and post

of twenty eight millions by re

Col. Slennp
Reelected to Congress in the Ninth District
by Majority of About 400.
Hardest Fought Political Battle in History of
Virginia Politics.

The election held Tuesday re-
suited in the reelection of Con-
gresham Slemp in the Ninth
District Of Virginia. The cleo
tion was one of the hardest
fought political battles ever
waged with ballots in this state,
and although Col. Slemp's ma
jorities were greatly reduced
from what they were two years
ago, the result is a big victory
for the Republicans in this dis
trict, for no Democrat in the
Ninth could have polled a larg-
er vote than Mr.. Bruce, and he
is certainly to be congratulated
on the splendid showing he
made in the various counties.
SO far as we have heard the
election passed of quietly
throughout the district with
little or no disturbances at the
polls. In Wise county a more
orderly election was never held
and both parties seem satisfied
with the result. OF course the
republicans would have liked
very much 20 have carried the
county by larger majority,
and the democrats would have
been pleased If the Coloners
majority had been smaller, but
that both parties did their best
there is no question. In Wise
county Slemp's majority 10
about $50, two years ago it was
$50. In Lee county his major
ity two years ago was 6l3,
whereas this year il is about
800. Scott county two years
ago gave Slemp a majority Of
$50; this year il is about $50.
The estimated majorities in
the various counties are as fol-
lows.
