According 10 the investigation Of

Virginia was the pioneer coal produc.
Ing state The occurrence OF coal was
known in the Richmond. basin as:eariy
is 100, and in 1883 shipments we're
made to some of theinorthern states,
IN 1889, according to R. c, Taylor the
production amounted to 1921 gross
tons. The first coal was taken from
what is usually termed the Richmond
baain, a small area In the south:east-
era portion Of Virginia, near the city
Of Richmond. This basin is situated
Oh the eastern margin Of the Piedmont
plateau, 10 miles above tldewater, on
James river. 1t lies III Goochland.

A CRtIESOME FIND.

a cheap and flimsy trunk, contain
ing human body, was found yester-
day afternoon in the basement OF the
tenement house at $50 west Fifty
fourth street, New York. The trunk
had stood in the basement for eight
years untouched, and its contents are
in condition which make their iden.
tifcation extremely difficult.
The matter of the trunk vas report
ed to the police yesterday afternoon by
Philip Meagher, stcamtitter, who,
with his family comprising his wife
and several children, occupies fat on
the third floor back. Meagher had
broken the lock and lifted the wooden
cover, and had found another trunk,
but OF metal, within. 1t was Meagher
himself who had brought the trunk to
the tenament eight years ago.
Meagher and his family formerly
lived at 536 west Forty-seventh street.
While there an acquaintance, William
Lewis, driver. had boarded with them
for six months or 60. Lewis had
brought the trunk with him-his name,
". Lewis, in black letters. appears on
the end-and Meagher says had told
him that 1t contained artists materials.
Then Lewis went away. Meagher
says. after telling him to take care OF
the trunk for him until he returned.
He never returned, and Meagher
finally opened tho trunk yesterday.

STRANGE CRIMINAL TRIAL.

A strange criminal trial has just
taken place in Pulaski, Va. The case
vas that OF the Commonwealth against
Price Cecil. imbued with the ideas en-
braced in the creed Of the Holy
Rollers" Some months ago one OF
Ceci's children, boy years old,
died from diphtheria. and another
came near to deaths door, all, it is
believed, for lack Of proper medical at
teption.
Cecil is man OF means, and aside
from his strange religious notions, is
man of high intelligence. But along
with kindred and neighbors, he en-
braced the faith of the Holy Rollers, :"
One of the cardinal tenants of this
cult is to be guided by the Bible in all
affairs.
Receiving no other treatment except
that directed in the Scriptures, the
child died. The county board Of
health took action, and warrant was
issued for Cecil. When the case came
to trial he made no defense. He was
fined $25 and sentenced to three
months in prison. Remaining in jail
two days following the hearing before
a magistrate, be appealed to the Cir
cult Court. The case came to trial
this week when Judge Massie ordered
that a plea of mot guilty" be en-
tered in order that the trial might pro-
coed.
In submitting the case to the jury.
Judge B1assis delivered O clear and
positive charge. He distinguished care
fully between the rights OF every man
to worship God according to the die
tatcs OF his own conscience and the
duties he owed his fellow-man. He
declared that the religious privilege
ceased when it invaded the rights OF
others. The judge held that man
was criminally negligent when he
failed to call physician in the event
of extreme illness in his family.
The jury affirmed the decision of the
magistrate only as to the fine. Cecil
was allowed to go free upon the pay
ment OF S25.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Theodore Roosevelt left New York
for Washington this morning.
In a ruling which required just 90
minutes to read, Judge John E. Nc
Call, in the United States Circuit
Court at Jackson, Tenn, yesterday
afternoon, wrote fms to the efforts OF
the government to have assessed against
the Standard Oil Company OF Indiana
penalties aggregating an excess OF $780,
100000.
A demand for the immediate revision
of the tariff at the coming session OF
Congress will be made by the Knights
of Labor OF America as the result of a
practically unanimous decision reached
by the annual convention OF that or
ganization in session in Washington
yesterday. Resolutions were adopted
blaming the tariff for the high cost OF
living and declaring that nothing but a
revision OF the tariff will bring sub
stantial relief to the consumer from the
burden of high prices. The resolutions
will Represented to Congress this winter.
There can be no appeal, it was said
at the Department Of Justice today,
from the decision against the govern
ment by Judge Mccall, OF the United
States circuit court, in Tennessee yes.
terday against tho Standard Oil Co., OF
Indiana. Indictments against the oil
company involved maximum penalty
OF nearly $1,O00,000. The case was
one OF number brought under James
r. Garfeld's direction in the admins
tration OF President Roosevelt. 1t was
in many respects like the case in which
Judge Lands, i'll Chicago, imposed the
celebrated fine on the Standard OIL Co.
that was afterwards overturned by the
higher courts. While the Tennessee
indictments appeared to be defective it
was impossible to get new ones and the
OF Justice made the best
fight possible on the case as it stood.
Judge McCall's decision against the
government is the final word in the
case.

Gompers and the Negroes.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. lS.-A general
desire to avoid the subject as an op-
perfume is manifested here today
among delegates to tho American
Federation OF Labor convention follow
ing Samuel Gonper's elimination OF
the negro as a labor factor. Gompers
had declared the negro is mot yet
far enough removed from slavery to
understand human rights. He said
there arc more than 10000 negroes
in America today, less than two cen
turtles away from the barbarians OF
their own African land, and less than
century removed from chattel slavery.
Il am not condeming the negro,
"Gompers added. But we cannot
expect a people with all their traditions
mental, moral and social-tending to
tear down, understand the fundamental
philosophy of human rights. This is
not a theory but condition with which
we must DEAL"

IT Is AMUSING to read republican
papers and the interviews OF trust
magnates who say the cause OF the drop
in food prices is due to a great corn
crop. Why did not this drop occur
before election? For the simple reason
that if the people lad been fools
enough to again be deceived the mag
mates would have regardeda republican
election a. an Endorsement OF high
prices and no such drop would have
occurred. But With a democratic con-
zress facing them they voluntarily
lowered prices in order to escape an
investigation which is bound to follow
Prices should reach much lower
level. II the election of 4 democratic
House results in no other benefit to
the American people, it has tended
already to reduce the cost OF living.

The city Of Paris has again been
threatened with grave disaster from
the flooded waters OF the river Seine.
In its lower courses the Seine winds
tortuously through level country.
The current is SO slow that 1t cannot
carry off the sudden freshet in the
highlands AS a result, after contln-
uous rains there follow calamtous con-
SEQUENCES. There seems to be no way
to prevent the constantly recurring
damage of floods along the lower levels
OF great rivers except by accomplish
ing storage OF the surplus waters OF
tributaries flowing from higher levels.
In the opinion of engineering exports
this is a possible means OF security
Water thus held by dams may 80 far
tc compensate the cost of storage
through use in arid and unfertllc areas
when needed for rrigating purposes,
and also through the development OF
electrical force.

New fOrk's Trunk Mystery.

New York, Nov. l5.-An autopsy
today established The male sex of the
body found in a trunk in west Fifty
fourth street tenement late last night.
The left lung showed evidence Of a
!lemorrhage, which probably resulted
from asphyxiation. DR.. LeYane and
Professor McAllister both declare that
the body was placed in the trunk while
the victim was still alive, but undoubt-
edly unconscious.
Although the corpse had been in the
trunk eight years, the murderer's pre-
caution in placing it in a sealed case OF
zinc and plaster OF paris resulted in its
preservation so as to make the determi'
nation of sex comparatively easy.
