Drops out


UNIoNTowN, April 3.-After fail
ing to get prominent Unionrown bGs.
mess men interested in base bail the
select few who have been Dac's'rg lle
team for the past three years decided
at a meeting in DR.. o. R. Altman's
Office last night to forfeit the fran
chise in the Pennsyivania!West vir.
ginia league. 1t is now in the power Of
President, Gronninger to place the
franchise as he pleases, and there 'z
a possibility that ParkersDurg will be
given the berth. Immediately after the
decision Of the old directors,was made
known Gronninger was approac ii by
several persons who viii make IN Of
fort to retain the place for Ualontown
in the league by raising money by
subscription. Gronninger wonid make
no promises, but in all PROBABILITY he
will comply with the wishes o. the
local supporters, If the Parke.sSurg
people do not communicate wIt1 him
at once. 1t is the plan OF the men who
approached Gronntnger last night to
start apaper today and visit all the
business men. II the amount can De
raised 1t is probable that the fran.
chise will be reclaimed; II not Union.
town will drop out OF professional
base ball. The new supporters !sport
that they have smal sum raised al
ready and II the local men VIII rome
to their aid, they will pace team
here that will be equal IL not better
than any other club in the league. A
number of good players Will be Sc
cured II the movement succeeds. 9th.
erwise they will be released uncondi-
tionally.
There was lengthy discussi1L OF
the situation among the sormei lIrec-
tors, but they would not consent to
finance the team the coming season,
without other assistance th1n that
which has been received In the past
three years. Every one present stared
that they would gladly lend and fnan.
cial aid. but would not take tile entire
responsibility. President Gronulnger
was greatly disappointed by the ac.
tion of the Uniontown fans, rs he con.
siders this city one OF the best base
ball towns in Western Pennsylvania.
He realizes the position OF tho few
who have liberally supported the team
in past years, and regrets that U.inn.
town is no longer able, to re.oin the
franchise. He bears no enmtty what
ever against the former naenates,
and will assist in every way to help
the new subscription paper along. AS
he had given the local people 4S
nour notice to secure the necessary
money. he felt 1t HIS duty to the league
to place the franchise in an advan-
tageous position. He mas carefully
surveyed the situation in Parxe. .xb arg
and thinks that 1t would MAKE a pay
ing town for his league. II Parkers-
burg is admitted the teams Will all be
able to meet in Sunday games. Gron-
ninger will remain here for several
days to hear from Parkersbu:g.

A BIG INCREASE
IS REPORTED IN
COKE SHIPMENTS
APPROXIMATELY 100000 TONS
MORE HANDLED THIS YEAR
AS COMPARED WITH
1908.


UNloNTOWN, Pa, April S.-An in.
crease in coke shipments Of approx,
mately 2,50O,OoO tons from January
! i, 1909 to March 81, as compared with
the corresponding period of last year,
is shown by a statement issued yes.
terlay for lines of the Pennsylvania
railroad east Of Pittsburg and Erie.
The report is regarded as the most en-.
couFaging Issued by the freight de-
partment this year. Anthracite coal
tonnage fell OF slightly but an in.
crease is SHOWN in bitaminous ship
ments.
For tue week ending March 27, to.
tai coal and coke shipments Of linen
east aggregated 1,O6S,533 tons, an in.
crease over the previous week. The
tonnage was divided as follows: An
thraclte coal 12349S tons; bituminous
coal, 1886 tons; coke. 192,14O tons,
The total tonnage for the period
from January 1 to March 27 amount.
ed to 11,92S,5S2 tons, as compared
with IL 1,O2O,565 tons for the same per.
iod Of 1880.
The Pennsylvania railroad officials
announced that the delivery of new
coke cars built by the Cambria Steel
Company. will begin within the next
month. This new equmpment will be
placed in service in the Connellsville
region. Cars will be of all-steel con.
struction. and mucn larger than any
used in past years. The contract for
these cars was placed after a thor.
ough test had been made for a sample
car
Reports issued by the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
also show a fairly good increase in
coke tonnage, originating in the Con,
nellsville district. While this ton.
mage is heavier taan at this time last
year, 1t does not come up to the expec.
tatons of traffic managers. Several
additional coke plants will be started
next week and 1t is expected that a
new nigh record will be established
this month.
During the last ten days of March
coke shipments fell off 25O cars and
about 1000 coke ovens were banked.
OF this number. over 1000 were put
ont by the H. C. Frick Coke Company.
the largest producer in the Connells-
Vile region. The total production fell
of $4,000 tons as compared with the
10 preceding days. Various reasons
are given for the slump. Chief among
them is the unsettled tariff question.
The supply OF coke has been far
beyond the demand. and as a result
there has been price cutting. The
same condition as to prices Of coke
do not effect the H. C. Frick com.
pany, for 1t is subsidiary organiza.
ton Of the United States Steel Corpo.
ration, and the Corporation uses about
all the coke made by the Frlck inter,
ests. The closing down of more than
600 Frick ovens was because the
Steel Corporation furnaces do moi
Ineed the coke.

M POLICE COURT

He looked like cross between a pile of fish scrap and Turkish cigarette advertisement when he came'into police court Saturday evening. He was bruis- cd and cut in so many places that he suggested a sausage turned wrong-side out. but the advertisement suggestion came from the bandages that enswathed his pinecone pate.
 Men know him as Charles Coleman, a negro. but 1t is doubtful if his parents would know him at all.
 Charlie had a most grievous tale to tell. Three months ago Wesley and Jim Richards fell upon him while the sun was down and smote him lustily, caus- ing great knots to appear about his face and person. From the night of the licking Charlie "toted' a rifie one of those thirty pound barrel squirrel af- fairs that our grandfathers affected. Day in and day out he "toted" that gun expecting an attack at any time from his enemies. but naught saw he of them.
 Friday night he had an engagement to sit up with a sick lady member of his church society. He told the court that he had been sent for to ad- minister medicine, etc, and being a loy- al member of the fraternal society, got him his gun and trudged out to the sub. urbs to keep the tryst.
 Charlie entered the house, gun in hand.

 It was q case of mistaken identity. Charlie had gone to a home from which a husband had been ordered to leave and never return. The home was that of Wesley Richards. and 1t was wes- ley's wife who had done him up.
 Charlie told the court he did not so much mind licking. but to get lick ing. gun in hand. that was intended for his sworn enemy. was past endurance He begged the court to soak in a good
