Not in many weeks has the coal trade
been so active in the Georges Creek
field. Last week the mines of the
Consolidation Coal Company, which
employs in this section about 1900
men have been working full time
and the indications are that the pros
porous condition will continue. The
lake trade has opened up after hay
Ing been closed by Ice since Novem-
Der. and this week the Consolidation
Coal Company shipped to the lakes
alone seven thousand tons. This
company produces about 5000 tons
"a day SO the output last week has
been almost a record breaker.
Other mines along the Cumberland
and Pennsylvania railroad, including
those of the Black-sheridau Wilson
Company have also been very busy.
The total daily output of the Georges
Greek field when the mines are busy
Is about 1900 tons. An official said
yesterday: Coal trade could not
have been better this week. We
could hardly have filled any more or
ders. Business has certainly picked
up and we have every reason to hope
for very busy times in our line"

UNRESTRICTED DELEGATES

NEW YORK, Apr. 14-With a
supreme court injunction hanging
over the heads of the state commit
tee to prevent the ousting OF Senator
Mccarren's delegates from sixteen
contested districts in Kings county
and the prospect of lively fight by
the followers OF Bryan to secure an
instructed delegation in his behalf to
the national convention, the outlook
was that the proceedings of the
Democratic state convention would
be exciting.
About the only thing that seemed
certain was plan to send an unin-
structed delegation in spite OF the
efforts of the Bryan men who are
largely in the minority.
1t is probable that Chairman Con-
ners, of the state committee; Charles
F. Murphy, Tammany leader; John
B. Stanchfleld and Lewis Nixon will
be selected delegates-at-large.
Justice Crane today modified an
order so that while the state commit
tee may not strike the names OF the
'McCarren delegates from the tempor-
airy roll, the contest may be carried
to the floor of the convention.
The convention was called to u eet
at noon. 1t was much later before
the chairman's gayel fell.
