Matter Comes Before the City
Council and an InveStigat-
ing Committee Was Named
BY the Mayor.
MANY BELIEVE AN
AGREEMENT EXISTS.
Numerous Complaints Have
Been Made on the Prices
Charged as Compared With
Those Charged Elsewhere.

Have the coal dealers of this city
combined against the citizens for the
purpose OF keeping the rates on all
grades of coal at sky-high figures?
Councilman Englebert thinks that
such combination has been effected
and he introduced a resolution at
council meeting Monday evening for
the purpose of having this matter in
testigated by committee SO that
some light can be thrown on the sub
tect Mr.. Englebert's resolution was
adopted by a unanimous vote for ii
seems to be the opinion of the council
men that not only the citizens. but al
so the city, has been gouge by the To-
eaI coal dealers. MIR. Englebert's res
plusion reads as follows:
Believe in Agreement.
.The opinion is frequently express
ed By q great many of the citizens or
This city that an agreement exists,
whereby the cost of coal is regulated.
as this is O. matter in which every citi-
gen is vitally interested, it is my op-
Inion that thorough investigation
should be made, and If such ccndi-
tion is found to exist, that proper
steps be taken for its discontinuance.
With this object in view l therefore
move YOU that the president appoint
three members of this council for the
purpose of making such investigation,
and that this committee make re-
port to this council at its earliest con-
Senience."
Committee is Named.
After the resolution had been adopt
ed Mayor Schillinger named the fol
lowing investigating committee:
Messrs. Englebert, Wettig and Bartel.
Just what steps council can take to
regulate the price of coal is a mystery
that remains for council to unravel. If
council discovers an octupus working
In this city and succeeds in extermin-
ating it this action will meet with the
approval of the entire community.
Many Complaints Made.
Councilman Englebert after intro
hucing his resolution stated that num-
erous citizens had made complaints
TO him regarding the alleged exces-
Hive coal rates and had complained
that the price of coal in this city was
higher than in Cambridge City. Ha-
gerstown. Fountain City and other
neighboring towns. Councilman Deu-
3er stated that he thought the city
might have been held up for the coal
Sc buys from the local dealer and
suggested that in case reasonable
rates could not be obtained from
dealers in. this city, that dealers out
side the city be asked to bid for the
municipal coal supply.
A Previous Experience.
About five years ago local dealers
made an alleged attempt to hold the
city UP on coal and council immed-
sately awarded a contract to a Cincin
natl dealer. This proved a wise move
and beneficial one to the general
public as shortly after council took
this action local dealers dropped their
prices on coal so cents a ton and a
little later dropped the price % cents
more on each ton- The report of the
Investigating committee will be await
ed with the greatest interest.

NEARING COMPLETION

The China famine relief work ii
Richmond is almost completed ani
will be entirely so within the next few
days. The various county townships
are yet to be heard from, and the re-
turns from these will not be completed
for at least two weeks or more. The
committee in charge of the work hopes
to bring the canvass to close soon.
The amount raised up to date ranges
between $500 and $500, but it is ex-
pected that this will be materially in
creased when the reports from the out

IN SPITE OF THE STRINGENCY
Jobbing Markets Are Well Attended

Jobbing markets are we'll attended by

who operate with great freedom con-
sidering the financial stringency, which
has compelled the postponement Of
much contemplated structural work.
Yet many western and southern cities
report building operations in excess of
last years, and as the harvests prog,
ress there is more disposition to in
crease preparations for future needs.
Retail stocks have been depleted by
he customary bargain sales, and
preparations for fall and winter trade
indicate confidence in continued ac-
tivity. At most domestic points there
is no complaint regarding collections,
but reports from Canada indicate many
requests for renewals. Leading indus

mills having output sold far into 1908.

A Catch Question.

Of Bishop Short, who held the see of
St.. Asaph, many curious stories are
told. Occasionally he put questions to
candidates for ordination that appar-
nelly had no connection with the dis
charge of their parochial duties. They
tested probably their wit or tact, two
necessary qualifications to public men,
but nothing more One such question
proposed by the bishop was The fol-
lowing: (Which has the greatest num-
Der of legs, a cat or no cat"
AS might be expected, this created a
litter, but the bishop would not take a
laugh as the answer, and consequently
he repeated the question and desired
some one to solve the problem. At last
one of the candidates, smiling, said, II
should think, my lord, a cat"
'No," retorted the bishop; "there you
are wrong, for cat has four legs and
no cat has five."-LondOn Telegraph

at. 3. AS Pcem.v

Thomas Bailey Aldrich was fond OF
fetelling that anecdote of his own boy
ism daring which appears in his ''Ponk-
apog Papers," to the effect that upon
first entering James T. Fields office in
the ore Corner Bookstore his eyes fell
upon that kindly editor and publishers
memorandum book, open upon the ia.
bic. Mr.. Fields was absent for the
moment, and the youthful poet could
not help noticing the impressive list
of agenda: Don't forget to mail r.
w. e. his contract" Don't forget o.
w. HIS proofs" etc., whereupon the
young Milton" who certainly deserved
to succeed in his profession, wrote
upon the memorandum book, Don't
forget to accept 7. B. AS poem," and
disappeared. The poem was accepted,
paid for and, truest kindness of all, as
Mr.. Aldrich asserted, was never print
ed. But the resourceful youth never
lost his deferential attitude toward the
bearers of those famous initiated names
that had once preceded his own.-At-
