mon coal ashes, at the same time creating
a heat OF greater intensity than that
evolved from the highest grade Of soft coal
when famed by a forced draft A CORE
spondent saw this demonstrated in
an ordinary cellar furnace, where six parts
Of coal ashes and one part OF coal, all
saturated with the cobhler's mysterious so
luton, produced a white hot fire. whose
caloric heat was more intense after it had
been burning two hours than It was at the
end OF the first hour.
Two teaspoonfuls OF Ellmore's compound
costing p cents, and dissolved in three
gallons OF water, Is sufficient TO treat three
quarters Of a ton OF ashes mixed with one
quarter Of a ton Of coal, and will bring out
more heat and evolve II for a longer period
than one ton Of pure coal, bituminous or
anthracite. The big freight moguls on the
Pennsylvania road use a ton an hour run
ming on the level and six tons an hour run
ming up grade. This could be cut down
from % 70 rs per cent, and the steam
generating power increased from % TO 20
per cent by the shoemaker's discovery.
So convinced Is DR.. Hoy, one OF the lead
Ing practitioners Of Altoona, that Gilmore g
secret will revoIuuonize the output and use
Of coal as a fuel and that the discovery Is
one Of the most remarkable Of the age that
he has agreed 10 back the manufacture on
the compound and 10 enlist capital TO pro-
duce II on a large scale. When first APP

ago DIT Hoy refused to consider the fuel

will be formed Of the difficult task set to
the locomotives.
The average speed Of these trains between
London and Exeter, 1880 miles, is $40 miles
per hour. and the same timing is also made
by two other down expresses which daily
run to this town without an intermediate
stop
Water IS picked UP from track troughs
no less than three times by all these four
trains. and the down Riviera limited. de-
tachos three Independent slip coaches, ono
after the other, during the journey.
Before the new direct line 10 the west OF
England via Westbury was opened. the
runs made by these two world famous
distance covered by them daily without
stopping was 2i5% miles, twenty miles more
than az present while the average booked
speed for l52 miles was COS miles ror hour
including severe slack at Bath. and a
worse one through Bristol, four minutes
being consumed by one and oue-half miles
Of curved road through the latter town.
However these limited expresses keep
excellent time and have proved so remu-
nerative that they are being continued
through tho winter mOnths, the time TO
Plymouth having been cut 20 four hours

KNOCK FOR COAL BARONS
Pennsylvania Inventor Rivals Colonel
Sellers in Dreaming of
millions.

John Gilmore OF Altoona, Pa, the inven-
tive shoemaker, whose worldly possessions
in his cobblers shop and his home would
not bring 500 on the block, has within his
grasp millions OF dollars, and possesses the
power II exerted by men shrewder than
himself, to restrict the coal output Of the
United States and so decrease it's value
Although the Pennsylvania railroad pro
fesses Indifference, It is understood that a
secret uneasiness prevails, for II EllmOre's
discovery comes into use the present price
OF bituminous coal cannot be maintained.
Without any knowledge Of chemistry and
so nllterate that ne is compelled 10 seek
assistance IN writing 20 drug houses for his
ingredients. Gilmore has succeeded :I pro-

DR.. Hoy made his FIRST test on January 30
and successive tests followed for twenty
DAYS. He timed the period Of combustion
Of coal and the amount consumed and then
timed the mixed ashes and coal saturated
with the compound Not only did he OBJ
tain a hercer heat. but the mixture Of
ashes and coal after treatment burned from
one-third TO oue-half an hour longer.
After satisfying himself thoroughly he
entered into an agreement with Gilmore

ALIMONY PAID in PENNIES
Trick Sometimes ResOrted to in order
TO Cause "A Creditor
Trouble.

AS a rule nobody will refuse any kind
OF good money in payment OF a debt,
though there are some kinds more con-
yenient than others. Pennies are legal
tender, but IT would take a quart Of them
to pay a bill OF any considerable size.
II sometimes happens that just to be DIS
obligtng and TO cause the creditor incon-
venience the debtor pays in pennies.
Such a case happened in Flatbush, L. l.,
the other day, where a husband had been
directed by the court 10 pay 81 a week for
the support of his wife and TO pay il 10
the clerk Of the court. In order to make
both as much trouble as possible he
brought in the 81 IN pennies and they
we're accepted, though as a matter Of fact
pennies are not legal tender TO that
amount. The minor coins OF the United
states are determined by statute to be
"a 5-cent piece" A United States statute
says: The minor coins Of the United
States shall be Of legal tender at their
nominal value for any amount not Cx-
ceeding 25 cents in any one Payment"
The creditor can take them by the car
load II he wishes, but refusing to taxa
them in sums over 25 cents at time will
not enable the creditor to set up the claim
OF a tender nor will II invalidats tho
creditors right 10 collect. These tactics
are seldom resorted 10 and only TO cres te
Inconvenience. The United States statutes
are not much studied by laymen, and 20
this point is not generally understood.
or the minor coins only the scent piece,
OF nickel, are in any considerable circu-
lation. The scent piece has gone out OF
use, is seldom seen and is not much
missed II has gone the way OF the 2-cent
piece and the copper Penny.-Chicago

Horse and Buggy Missing.

Mr.. Phillips, a tea dealer, reported to the
police last night the loss Of a horse and
buggy which he had hired from wescotts
livery. He hired the rig during the evening
and drove to Thirty-sixth and U streets
There he tied the horse while he made a
visit. When he came out the horse was
gone and had evidently been united and
driven away. He reported the affair and
the officers searched for the animal but
failed to discover It, They are of the
opinion that a tramp probably drove It
away to help him on his journey out

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
One Of the Injunction Cases Against the
City On Before judge Rsdiok.
APPEALS FROM POLICE COURT NEXT WEEK
city Attorney Notifies BOndsmen 60
Have Defendants In Court when
Cases Are Called for
Trial.

The legal department OF the South Omaha
city government took up one Of the in
junction cases before Judge Redick's
court yesterday morning This was the
case Of Richards against the City OF South
Omaha to prevent the grading Of an alley
between Twenty second and Twenty-third
streets and between l. and J. All Of the
points in the controversy were legal and
related to the matter Of procedure and the
case was submitted on argument. Little
evidence was introduced aside from the
statement Of the facts in the case. The
case was taken under advisement and a
decision is looked for Saturday
The city attorney has made arrangements
with the county attorney and Judge Troup
of the criminal bench to set aside the bal
ance of the week after Tuesday next for
the hearing Of all cases which have been
appealed from the South Omaha police
court. One OF these is that OF Joseph Lin
kowski for the sale Of liquor on Sunday.
There are about ten other cases 70 be tried.
It appears that It was the expectation OF
the counsel for the defense that the cases
would be dropped after the appeal was
taken, but the city attorney hopes to con-
vince the public that all such cases will
be pushed. The bondsmen in these cases
will be notified they are expected to see
surety appear or be prepared to pay their
bond. The legal department is anticipating
further action on the South Omaha sewer
matter.
"UncIe Dave" Anderson Returns.
David Anderson and wife arrived from
Los Angeles, where they spent the winter
yesterday morning Uncle Dave" is look
ing younger by far than he did before he
took the long, comfortable rest in the mild
climate OF California He said that It
was miraculous how his train escaped
wreck on the way home. They were de-
laycd several hours by washouts and land
slides several times on their journey.
Twice they escaped by only fifteen minutes
from accident. In one case they had just
passed the danger point and in the other
they were warned just a few minutes pre-
vious to reaching the landslide
AS to his experiences during his travels
he expressed himself as glad that he had
been able to enjoy them. He seemed to
take more pleasure in telnng of his visit
to Honolulu than to any other Journey, al
though he said that Cuba was almost equal
to It. The calmness Of the Pacific islands
delighted him. Los Angeles he described
/ as young mans CITY, Astounding in OPP
/ portunities Of every kind. San Diego, he
said, was the city Of old people. There
were more retired business men there than
in any city he knew. They seemed to
have taken the town. He said that after
all he was glad to get back to South
Omaha. South Omaha and the greater city
on the north we're quite as good in his
opinion as any city he visited in his trav-
| els.
