Over Division Of Hotel Fur
nishings is Settled by a
Magistrate.

A dispute over the division of some
sflverware, pair Of statuettes and
a few other articles between j. G.
Beal and j, H. Stevens, former and
new proprietor of the Traders hotel
was settled Thursday night by Jus,
tice Samuel W. Gordon, acting for
Justice W. P. Camp, in whose conrl
the action was brought. Stevens was
under the impression that he was en-.
titled to the goods in question but Il
was shown at the hearing that they
had not in fact been included in the
invoice nor the bill of sale for the
transfer of the hotel furnishings and
had been reserved, with other far
nishings, by Mr.. Beal, so the case
was dismissed at the cost Of the
plaintiff.

Authorized at Last Session Of
Congress for Which No
Appropriation is Made.
WAY MADE SMOOTH
BY Plan to Provide for Them
in the Sundry Civil
Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. e.
West Virginia may yet be given some
of the public buildings authorized in
the public building bill OF the last
session of Congress, but for which
no appropriation has been made.
Representative Tawney, chairman
Of the committee on appropriations,
is preparing to introduce in few
days resolution calling upon the
secretary of the treasury to report
estimates for the public buildings
carried in the bill of last June. In
turn, Secretary MacVeagh is said
to be ready to supply the estimates,
III it is desired.
Apparently the way has been made
smooth for the appropriation when
presented and it seems probable that
the public buildings authorized for
West Virginia last June will be pro-
vided for in the sundry civil bill. in
which so far no provision has been
made for them.
The cities and the amounts affected
are are as follows:
Charleston, additional amount
for building, 100000.
Grafton, for buildings. GOO.
Moundsville, site $4,000 and
building $4,000.
Wellsburg, site $4,000 and build
ing $4,000,
Williamson, site $500
Morgantown, to complete building.
1888, 900.
Buckhannon, site $4,000.
Philippi, site $4,000.
Egkins, building $4,000.
Slstersvil!e. building 100000.
Point Pleasant, to complete mon
ument, $4,000.
An authorization of $4,000 to
purchase additional ground for the
postoftice at Huntington and one OF
$4,000 for additional ground for
the postofice at Parkersburg we're
included in last years bill and these
amounts have been placed in the
urgent deficiency bill, SO that If the
other amounts are included in the
sundry civil bill, as is now contem-
plated. all the buildings and sites
authorized under the last public
building bill will have been provided
for,

reported owner of the mine, which
has been in operation near Fraters-
Vile, Tenn, for 20 years. In 1892
seven hundred miners were killed
there in an explosion.
Aid has been dispatched to the
scene of the alleged disaster from
Pittsburg, Birmingham, Ala, and
Warren, Ky.
An explosion of dust Is believ-
ed to have been the cause.
Gas Is still escaping from the
mouth of the mine and preventing
the entrance OF rescuers. A res
cue car has been dispatched from
Knoxville.
The victims are imprisoned be-
meath thousands of tons of earth
and rock two miles from the en-
trance of the mine.
The blast occurred at 1880 this
morning. Volumes of smoke at
noon were still issuing from the
entrance of the mine, which is be-
lieved to be mass of flames In It's
inner workings.
Hundreds of women and chill
dren gathered at the mouth or
the pit at Bryceville. Many of
them tried to hurl themselves INTO
the mine.
The onip hope is that portions
of the wall and roof of the m,ne
have collapsed shutting off the
deadly gases which otherwise will
kill every man entombed.

flames can be subdued.

@. o. Bates, who handled the
phone sale for the Bell people,
made the following statement to-
day:
II was surprised that the Sun
set company was the only bidder
this morning.
There have been rumors OF re-
organization by the Home COM
pany, but the experience of those
who already have invested money
in the enterprise has evidently
been such as to discourage any
further investment.
1T will be remembered that
something like five years ago the
people of Tacoma were divided
upon the subject OF a second tele-
phone exchange. Petitions, for
and against, were presented TO
the council. Finally franchise
was granted and a second ex-
change established. It never mad
like as many patrons as
the old company, and today has
only a little over three thousand

Tells of Service.

h"Shty
Tells of Service,
No doubt people will want to
know what will be the conse-
quences as to rates and service.
The answer to such questions is.
that telephone companies no long
er have the power to raise or fow-
er rates that power rests excIu-
sively with the public utilities
commission, and this commission
held a esssion on this Thursday
upon this very subject or tele-
phone rates at Tacoma.
1t is now making an exhaustive
examination of the telephone prop
erty to decide what rates shall be
charged.
while there Is no doubt the
Sunset company will maintain its
present excellent standard or SER
vice, the commission also mas au-
thority in the matter Of service.
"The city of Tacoma and the
telephone patrons therein will
surely be benefited by today's
transaction in telephone matters.
