STABLING TEXAS
PONY In PARLOR
KNOXVILLE WOMAN SUBJECT OF
COMPLAINT FOR NEiGHBoRS
AND POLICE INVESTIGATE.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 1.-The
police ran into funny situation Mon
day when complaint was made to
them by neighbors that Mrs, Mile
Cross, an aged white womna, was
stabling Texas pony in her parlor.
Evidently, the animal had been put
in the room when quite young, for the
officers were unable to get it out. This
will be done today if It takes the SER
vices of a carpenter to do so, The
woman was instructed to clean up her
premises and to cease making a livery
stable of her home.

WILL PATTERSON Be
CANDIDATE FOR A
THIRD NOMINATION?
THAT QUESTION AGAIN BROUGHT
TO FRONT BY STORY THAT Nc
MILLlN WILL RETIRE.
GOVERNOR FOR The U. S. SENATE
Little Credit to The Story, However,
And Belief is General That Patter-
son Will be the Machines Choice
For Chief Executive.
Special to The Herald.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 13,-Very
little credence is given to the story
published in the Tennessean this
morning to the effect that Gov. Patter-
son had abandoned his idea of run
ming for third nomination for Gov
ernor and would enter the race for
the Senate, ex-Gov. Benton McMillin
having decided to remain out of the
contest for the Senate. Belief Is gen.
eral that Gov. Patterson will be can
didate for a third term, that McMillin
will be the administration candidate
for the Senate and that a vigorous
attack will be made upon the primary
and election reforms of the last Leg
islature.
1t is conceded by the opposition
that Gov. Patterson would be the
strongest candidate that his faction
could enter in the Gubernatorial race
The administration leaders are unan
imously of this opinion and have sc
insisted to the Governor. AS part OF
this plan the Democratic Executive
Committees of several counties where
majority of the members are friend
Nv to the Governor have met anc
adopted resolutions urging him &c
again be a candidate. Similar resolu
tions, it is expected, will be adopted
in Shelby and Hamilton counties al
an early date.
While the Governor would personal
lily rather go to the Senate he has, Sc
it is learned upon good authority
Welded to the wishes of the machine
and will within short time indicate
that he would accept" third nomi
nation.
The story published by the Tennes
sean follows:
According to well defined rumors
former Governor Benton McMillin will
mot be a candidate before the mex
Legislature for United States senator
The distinguished ex-governor and FOR
mer congressman has never formal!
announced his candidacy for that ex
Ialted office, to succeed Senator jane
lB. Frazier, but it has up to now beef
generally understood that he woul'
make his announcement at the prope
time.
ut is well known that Mr.. McMillh
has for some time past been the req
resentative of the Carnegie Trust Com
pany in this section. He is just oacl
from a trip to New York, and OF cours
while there was in conference witt
the officers OF the trust company, an
lit is now generally believed that n
: will not offer himself as candidat
: for the United States Senate.
But Senator Frazier, If candidate
will not be without opposition, for h
will be opposed by the present chic

It is impossible at this hour to say
whether there has been loss of life,
hut it is feared that many lives have
been claimed along the coast.
While the hurrican is the worst
that Key West has ever experienced,

Monday night that the indications are

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 13.-
Judge A. B. Anderson, Of the United
States Court of this district, Tuesday
dismissed the proceedings against
Delevan Smith and Charles R. VIII
liams, proprietors of the Indianapolis
News, who were resisting removal to
the District of Columbia for trial I'M
der a grand jury indictment charging
them with having committed criminal
libel in publishing articles alleging
that there was a corrupt profit of
s2S 900 900 in the sale of the Panama
Canal to the United States.
THAT man has read the history OF
our institution to little purpose" said
Judge Anderson, in concluding his de-
cision, who does not view with ap-
prehension the success Of such pro-
ceeding as this to the end that citizens
could be dragged from their homes to
the District of Columbia, the seat OF
Government, for trial under the cir
cumstances of this case. The defen'
/ dants are discharged"
! At the close Tuesday of argument
in the hearing of Messrs. Smith and
Williams, Judge Anderson said that ne
was too busy with other matters t.
write a long opinion in the acse, al
though it clearly was one of great pub
lie interest and Importance, and In
volved several complex questions o.

He would proceed, he said, to sum VI

Anderson, that the fact that certain
persons were called thieves anC
'swindlers' does not constitute hbe

Pennsylvania Rank as q
Coal Producer

In 1880 Pennsylvania produced 66
per cent OF the entire output of the
United States, and during the last
twenty-five years she has produced
about SO per cent of the total Since
1902, however, the proportion has
been less than half and it Is doubtful
III will again exceed so per cent.
In the production of bituminous
coal alone Pennsylvania far outranks
the other coal-producing States, the
output in 1908 having been nearly "a
times that Of Illinois, which ranks
second, and having exceeded the
combined production of Illinois, West
Virginia, and Ohio.
Pennsylvania alone produces more
coal than any single foreign country
except Great Britain. Pennsylvsnia's S
production Of cosl exceeds, in fact,
the combined production of all for.
eign countries outside of Great Britain,
Germany. and Austria Hungary.
Pennsylvania output in 1908 was
3 s times that of Austria Hungary
AS times that of France, and I times
that of Russia, these being, respective.
ly fourth, fifth, and sixth among
the coal-producing countries of the
world.

Fire At Monticello

A fire Tuesday evening which orig
mated in the electric light plant at
Monticello, N. Y, burned over a
large area in the central part of the
town and destroyed thirty. six build
ings and a large part of their con-
tents. Three hotels. all the lawyers
offices. two newspaper offices, sever
al stores and dwellings, the Surro-
gates Office with all its papers, the
National Union bank and Masonic
Temple The Port Jcrvis Fire De-
partment was called on to assist
fighting the flames and went up on
special train. A high wind prevailed
ut the time and the fire seemed to
spread with wonderful rapidity. The
shade trees in the burned district are
all destroyed and though the build.
ings may be replaced it Will be many
years before the town will regain Its
beauty. 1t is said the insurance is
only about one fourth of the loss,
but enterprise is shown by the
promptness with which arrange.
ments are being made by many mer-
chants to rebuild.
Water is supplied to the town
fdom Kiamesha lake and is pumped
in q water tower, but the fremen
were not able to check the fire and
finally dynamite was used 20 blow
up buildings in its path. The refiec-
tion of the flames were plainly seen
here and many smelled the smoke
but assumed it came from q forest
fire.

Coal Remaining In
Pennsylvania

NJ. R. Campbell, of the United
S tes Geological Survey, places the
amount of coal originally in the an
thracite fields of Pennsylvania at 81
O0O, o00. 000 short tons and in the BIZ
luminous fields at 1854, ,OOO, COO
short tons. The percentage Of waste
In anthracite mining has been mater
tally reduced by modern methods,
but it is probable that the exhaus-
tion to the close of 1908 has actually
doubled the production, amounting
to, say. 4.030, 900, 900 short tons. This
would leave still in the ground ap-
proximately 1870. 100000 tons,
which would be capable Of producing
at the rate of one ton of coal lost for
each ton mined, s,425, 600, 900 tons
or approximately 1O2 times the an
thEaeite produced in 1908.
II for the bituminous production
1 ton of coal is estimated as lost for
every tons mined, the exhaustion
to the close of 1908 has been 1885,
900, 900 tons, which would leave still
in the ground more than los. 900, coo
600 short tons, about $50 tunes the
production of 1908. In other words,
If the exhaustion is ~ times the
production of bituminous coal in
Pennsylvania, at the rate Of produc-
tion in 1908 the supply would last
approximately $50 years.

NOTES FROM
SANDYSTON

The vanais who pulled mp and car
ried away the flowers set in a plat
in the Bevans cemetery should be
made an example of, If found ont.
John Snider, of Layton, took It
upon himself unaided to clear cff the
cemetery at Layton. and he done a
fine job. The thanks Of the entire
community are extended to Mr. Sni-
der.
Preparations are steadily going
ahead for a grand good time on We'd
nesday the 18th at the Layton Har-
vest Home.
A petition is in circulation in this
town having for its object the abol-
ishing of the Board of FroehoIders
and substituting three Commissicn-
ers as is being done in other counties
and where it has proved successful
and a saving TO the county, and the
saving We need in Sussex.
Sandyston has about 200 bridges
including all sizes and now the ques.
ton comes up between our Freehol-
der and our Committee "what con-
stitutes a county bridge" The
bridge in need of repair has not be- n
attended to yet.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob L. Bonnell
editor of the New jersey Herald,
spent the past week at "AIsacia
Farm" in this town. He interviewed
the voters and informed them of his
senatorial aspirations.
Sunday was a day that will be re-
membered for its intense heat and
dusty roads. The Thermometer was
81 Max and 81 Min.
The marriage Of Miss Stella Oepue
to James 8. Ayres occurred at the
gainesville parsonage on Saturday
last. Miss Depue is the youngest
daughter of N. L. Depue.
The lovemaking of loving young
couple was duly observed on Sunday
for they were not alone.
Charles Hill, a veteran Of the Phil
ipplnes and now instructor of the
New York mounted police made the
writer a pleasant call last week.
Daring his term of service in the
Philippines we kept up a correspon.
dance and his visit was appreciated.
Our roads are vast beds of dust
and the way the autos scatter 1t Is
wicked. / am glad Newton and Nil
ford have got through their base ball
war, for their autos were a terror in
the way of duet.
The family circle of Mr.. and Mrs
George Owen, of Layton, were de.
lighted over the arrival of daugh.
ter on Friday.
John j. Vansickle departed for
Ohio on Thursday and will be gone
a couple of weeks.
The attractions of Pike County are
many, and why several of our young
men make tri-weekly visits across
the river is puzzle. We presume
the feminine attraction is the prime
cause.

The Automobile Industry

In 1908 there were built in this
country 80, 400 cars and a careful es.
innate by manufacturers for this
year places the number OF 1000. In
1910 it is expected that at least 2OO,-
900 machines will be manufactured
in this country. Up to 1895 there
were but 20 cars built here. In 1904
there we're built and sold 20, 900 cars
at an average price of $1,000 each.
This year the average price is esti-
mated as $3.50 and next year it is
expected the average price will be
$1,000. If the sales next year reach
the anticipated number there will be
about one to every 200 Of population.
All this means that there must be a
different system Of road making.

TWILIGHT

Go JOSEPHINE Z. ToMPKINs)
What 10 there in the twilight hour
That brings suoh rest and peaceP
The weary soul forgets awhile.
Its cares and finds release
A quiet calm pervades the earth,
holy light is shed,
We think somehow of other days
That pleasantly have sped
There are sad yet pleasing thoughts
That the gentle twilight brings;
Faces, voices. smiles appear
And many little things
That memory had slowed away
A play, song, flower,
Perhaps long lost melody
We hear again in twilight hour.
But twilights' charms cannot remain
They are too sweet 10 last,
And so our thoughts. we would they'd stay
Pleasant Feveries Of the past.
The twilignts fading, fading ont,
Music's faint upon the ear,
Gone our visions of the friends
That this hour we felt were near.
