The trolley cars which run from
Worcester to Fitehburg pass directly
by the door, amid from them one can
look into the crib of the cider mill

Just back of the house runs a ledge
of rock, and i'm this ledge there is coal.
One day, while playing about the
woodshed. a boy, Levi Lincoln, foaamd
a big chunk Of something that he
thought was a stone But it glistened
and spark1ed so that he recognized it
wasn't any ordinary stone, and car
RED it to his father. Mr.. Flagg, in
turn, became interested, and showed
it to some Of the engineers and other
men whom he always has working for
him. One of the engineers, after pick
ing at it for a few moments, said:
why, that's COAL"
Mr.. Flagg went to Clark university
and submitted the chunk to some of
the mineralogy experts there, and
they, after a thorough analysis, con
frmed the statement OF the engineer
that it was coal.
The ledge in which this find was
made runs directly behind the house,
not twenty feet from the back door

some 800 feet. cropping out above the

A ROYAL Disguise.

Until the present time Julian had
thought Of overcoming the king with
out a word-of telling him to the pave
ment and binding him, and leaving
him in ignorance of who had done it,
but a different fancy seized him as he
saw the monarch enter the dungeon.
The temptation to face his deadly
enemy, and let him know to what he
owed his disgrace, was too strong to
be resisted. The thought that he could
now place his foot upon the neck of
the king of Damascus, and grant the
poor life which he had the power to
take, was not to be passed by. And
then the robber chieftain had an
other aso for wishing to speak with
the king, since the opportunity had
thus unexpectedly offered itself. Ho-
| ram had come on purpose to sac him

PEOPLE WIN
In the Coney Island Trac-
ton Fight - Acting
Mayor Issues Orders.

New York, Aug. 17.-As the result
of the agreement reached between
members of the city government and
the officers of the 8. r. II. whereby
the question of the ten-cent fare to
Coney Island Is to be threshed out
at once, there was very little rioting
at the second fare points, although
the police were still on duty. The
leading attorneys for the B. r. T. and
lawyers representing the Brooklyn
City club, the city of New York, and
the several merchants organizations
which have been working along the
line of a five-cent fare to sea, went
to Albany and will confer with Attor-
ney General Mayer relative to the
best method of securing a. speedy
court decision on the points involved.
In the meantime all persons who pay
a ten-cent fare will receive g. five
cent rebate IL the court upholds the
decision
Acting Mayor Magoon has issued a
proclamation to the people of New
York telling them that the fare to
Coney Island would be FIVE cents in
the future, that the legal fight to re-
tain the ten-cent fare would not stand

UNLICENSED
Engineers Said to be Workinu In
Youngstown Rolling Mlis-Ar-
rests Likely to be Made.

Columbus, o., Aug. NV. E. Ken
nedy, chief examiner of stationary
engineers, has sent Deputies John
T. Schuller, of Cincinnati, and e. II.
Harman, Of Columbus, to Youn gstown
to investigate complaint that un-
licensed engineers are working in the
steel mills there. Mr.. Kennedy paid
flying visit to the city one day last
week and is inclined to believe there
is basis for the complaint On ac-
count of illness, j. A. Manning, the
Youngstown deputy, has been unable
to investigate the situation and has
got behind in his work. His terrific
ry will be covered by the deputies de-
tailed for the special investigation.
Two years ago the department had
trouble of the same kind with the
engineers working in the mills. They
change around SO often that it is
rather difficult to round them up,
but the deputies were quite success
full in locating them and compelling
them to take the examination for a
license. Chief Kennedy is determined
to break up the prastice if he has to
make number of arrests to accom-
plish this.

Auto Accident in Jersey.

Atlantic City, Aug. 17-William
Moody and Thomas Barrett, of Jersey
City, bound for Atlantic City in auto
mobiles, near Hammonton were prob
ably fatally injured in an accident to
their machine. 1t was running at a
high speed when a pin loosened and
dropped from the steering gear, re-
sulting in the loss of control of the
machine. The automobile zig-zagged
across the road, jumped into ditch,
and threw both men out. Then 1t
jumped back into the road and brought
up in clump of woods abut 200 yards
from where the men were thrown out.
How long the injured men lay in the
ditch along the road is not known.
They were found by another auto
party and taken to Hammonton.
They are being given the best care,
but it is feared neither will live.

A MAD Doc
WAS KILLED
Made Its Appearance at
HartviIIe Thursday and
Attacked a Dozen or
More Animals.

Hartville, o., Aug. 17-This village
and the community surrounding it
has had genuine mad dog scare
during the past two days. Yesterday
afternoon a dog in the worst stages
of hydrophobia made his appearance
on the farm of Milton Pontius and
bit his dog. Later the farms of Sam
uel Machamer, Samuel Drumbeaugh,
Francis Drumbeaugh, and a Mr.. Elm
bauch were visited by the maddened
brute, where dogs, horses, chickens
and other animals were attacked. A
posse armed with guns pursued the
dog, but they we're obliged to give
up the chase when darkness set In.
Early this morning the dog was dis
covered at the farm of man named
Crocker, where it killed a lot of chick
ems From Crocker's the brute made
a mad race to the residence of Bishop
Gilgrin and bit his dog. When leav-
ing the place Gilgrin succeeded in
killing the maddened brute, after
which he shot his own canine.
The whole township is in a state
of excitement, as there is no telling
at this time just how many animals
were bitten.
Precaution will be taken to kill
every dog which had been attacked and
it is hoped no serious results will fol-
low.

AATI-T0X|N
To Be Furnished Free by
the State on Appiica-
ton of Local Boards of
Health.

Free anti-toxin will be furnished by
the state to local boards of health.
All the local boards have to do is to
make application for it. This is the
substance of bulletin sent out Thurs
day by the state board of health
No argument is necessary as to the
usefulness of anti-toxin in the treat
ment of diphtheria. 1t has reduced
the mortality from this disease by
one-half. 1t has also greatly re-
duced the duration of the disease in
the cases which recover, and conse-
quently shortened the period of quar-
antine. 1t Is of still greater use in
small doses to prevent diphtheria In
those exposed to the disease.
In the bulletin the state board urges
local boards of health to make use
Of their authority and order anti
toxine for the cure and prevention of
diphtheria. Hereafter if city has
not supply on hand it is the fault Of
the health authorities and there can
be no excuse.
The last legislature passed an act
authorizing local boards Of health to
furnish anti-toxin free, but It was
not signed by the presiding officers of
the house and senate or by the gov
ernor, hence did not become a law.
SO it was necessary for the state
board of health to find out whether
there was any authority for the state
board to make free distribution of
anti-toxin to local boards of health
The question was put up to Attorney
Ellis and he answers:
Il am of the opinion that the ex.
bense thereby create)l is included
within the language of Section 2138
r. s. and that the following language,
there employed, is not limited to per-
iods of epidemics, viz:
"'And when expenses are incurred
by the board of health, Under the pro-
visions of this chapter it shall be the
duty of council, upon application and
certificate from the board of health,
to pass the necessary appropriation
ordinances to pay the expenses so in
CURED, ETC.
II therefore conclude that, in the
event of the prevalence of diphtheria.
In a given community, if the local
board of health duly adopt an order
or regulation to furnish anti-toxin for
the treatment of INDECENT persons af-
ficted with such disease, or exposed
thereto, the Indebtedness thereby Gre
ated would be valid Indebtedness of
the municipality or the taxing district
in which the same was thus author
ized."

Killed BY Brother-ln-Law.

Cincinnati, o., Aug. t7.-James
Mathews, aged 45 years, formerly a
successful proprietor of patent
medicine store, was instantly killed
by his brother-in-law, Ed Hopkins
81 years old, clerk in the office of the
superintendent of the mail service for
this district. Mathews was barred
from the use of the mails in his bust,
ness some time ago, and since then
has been drinking heavily and was
very quarrelsome. Hopkins, who sur
rendered to the police, claimed the
shooting was in self-defense, although
It does not appear that Mathews was
armed. The scene of the murder was
the Mathews home at Bond Hill, a
suburb.
