North Carolina Coal.

The subject of North Cardinals
local production has recently received
considerable attention from the Unit
ed States Geological Survey and is
treated as follows in a summary of
the industry for 1905 made public by
the survey:
There are two areas in North Caro-
lima in which coal occurs. Both of
these are found in the trassic forma-
ton and are of the same age as the
Richmond coal basin, in Virginia. The
two areas are known as the Deep Dan
River fields, being named from two
rivers which drain them. The only
productive beds at present are those
in the Deep river district, in Chat
ham and Moore counties. For several
years practically all of the production
has been from one mine, the Cumnock
near Egypt, in Chatham county. The
output has been very irregular and
during the last three years has nota-
bly, declined. The largest production
in recent years was in 1899, when 26,-
500 short tons were mined.

PACKERS FORCED TO OBEY.
Building Of Nelson Morris & Co.
Closed by Chicago Police.

Chicago.-Building Commissioner
Bartzen compelled Nelson Norris &
Co. to agree to carry out his orders
for changes at that packing plant.
The Commissioner had ordered that
certain changes be made in twenty
eight, buildings connected with the
plant, in order to conform to the
building ordinances, but was in
formed that no changes had been
made.
MI. .Bartzen directed that a force
of inspectors and police be at once
sent to the stockyards to close all
buildings in which violations OF the
law were discovered. The first
places visited by this force were the
butterine factory and the tin shop.
Policemen were stationed at the
doors of both buildings and ordered
to keep all persons out: Employees
inside were not molested, but all OF
those who had left at the lunch hour
were turned away when they tried to
return.
The policemen said that they would
remain at the doors until fire escapes
ordered by the Building Commission
er were placed on both structures.
The managers of the firm capitnlated
after this policy had been enforced
for an hour, and agreed to obey or
ders. The guards were the with
drawn.

New York City.-Just as the uni
ted States Government has succeeded
in restoring a semblance of political
order in, the Island of Cuba financial
troubles of the most serious charac-
ter have been thrust upon the I'M
happy Pearl of the Antilles by the
disappearance, which was announced,
of Manuel Silveira, of Silveira & Co.,
one of the largest firms of bankers
and merchants in Havana, and the
failure of the Silveira associates in
this city, j. M. Ceballos & Co.. per-
haps the largest concernldoing a mer-
camille and banking business between
the United States and Spain and
Spanish America. These two firms
have been extremely active in devel-
oping railroads, sugar plantations and
other important enterprises in Cuba
and Porto Rico, and the r~amiications
of their business in those islands are
extensive. Ceballos & Co. are a firm
of more than fifty years standing,
and it's failure will be for more than
100000 at the lowest estimate
made.
The explanation of the immediate
Of the Ceballos failure sounds
like the plot of a sensational" novel.
Manuel Silveira, head of the Cuban
house of that name, who has been
for several years the Cuban repre-
sentative of Ceballos & Co., for

AS yet absolutely nothing is known
as ITO his destination, though cable

binary conditions mentioned, and the
s~uddenness of the disaster which has
fallen upon the firm of Ceballos &

Miss Tarbell spoke on Commercial Machia =

Mr.. White made a characteristic talk ON

ment," and said:
The fight for the recognition of the part
nership of society IL started, and honest
citizens, both rich and poor, are enlisted
against the Abimelech of aggrandizcd cap
Israel. and no matter who began f. at the
close of this contest we shall hear Abime-
lech say TO his armOrbearer after the upper
milestone has hit his head and broken IL:
Draw thy sword and kill me. that men
may not say woman slew me-" Without
for a moment desiring to be captious. with
out wishing TO make any unpleasant com.
Abimelech did not pick out III. II. Rogers
as his deadly armorbearer and to wonder
further II the sarcasm which he fourshed
at Missouri's attorney general may not he
the blade by which Abimeech shall die.
Mr.. White continued
What the present movement demands Is
not that Mr.. Rogers aud the owner of the
corner peanut stand be put on an Industrial
level but that Mr.. Rogers be made to re.
spect the law and that the absurdly dis.
proportionate differences between him and
the present vender be removed insofar az
! that difference is the result of Rogers en-.
| joyment OF legal PRIVILEGES and immunities

out. however, that this influence was put
squarely behind Saunders. Broatch
deemed this nothing short of treachery, so
when 1t became apparent that he could
not make the goal, his support was thrown
to Benson with the result of the latter's
endorsement. Saunders laid down when
defeated but Broatch refused to do so.
