Anthracite Coal to Be Used at Paper Company Plant, Other Companies Likely to Follow Suit If Experiment Proves Satisfactory.
WESTPORT

westport, Aug. s.-The smoke nui- sance caused by the use of soft coal in local factories is in fair way to be eliminated if some of the manufac- turers will follow the action of Chas. H. Post, proprietor of the paper fac tory. On the West Side where the factories are located the nuisance is necessarily felt the most. A commit tee of West Siders headed by Col. John M.

Virginia City Has an
Experience

Ground about the Fourth Ward
school house is again moving,
much to the apprehension of the
the people of that city. Judge
Langan came down this morning
and in speaking of the matter
states that in his mind it is a seri-
Gus problem. He is satisfied that
there is considerable danger and
that should another big settle
ment come ii mi ght endanger the
school building. The cracking
and settling of the earth is about
and near the ChOllar crOppings,
which have been undermined by
leaserS, who have not taken the
precantiOn to properly timber and
fill as would result by company
mining.
The ground in places on B
street settled from three to six
inches and the trouble is suppos-
ed to be caused by the caving of
a stope which is about 300 feet
deep. BY those acquainted with
the situation it is not believed
that any more caving will result
at this time. Ropes have been

ground to prevent accident

that elaborate tests of milk are to

ADMINISTERS
FATHERLY
ADVICE
Judge Langan Tells
the Truth

This afternoon in the District
Court room Judge Langan dis
pensed some fatherly advice that
is sincerely hoped will sink home
and prevent young woman from
becoming the wife Of a convict.
1t, appear that a convict now
confined in the pentientiary nam
ed c. A. McCarty, opened up a
correspondence school with mat
rimony in view. A young woman
in the East answered his letters
and came to thi $ city. This hap
pened some months ago. She has
been awaiting the release of the
prisoner in order to marry him.
The mother of the young woman
is with her. The two this morn
ing asked the Judge for a letter
TO the Board Of Pardons in rela-
ton to release of this man that
the girl might marry him. As
Judge Iangan sentenced him to
~ months for forgery and stud
led his case, he knew what he Was
talking about.
He advised this aged lady to
take her daughter as far away
from Mccarthy as possible. and
also advised the young woman to
avoid the marriage as she would
death.
His lecture, while it did not
seem to sink in as deep as it
should was most timely and well
meant. The girl and woman are
waiting here for the release Of
this man who has bad record all
round. The lunacy commission
should take up this case and set
the two misguided women on the
right trail.

The attorneys, or II part OF
them, Judge Langan and num-
Der of spectators gathered at the
District Court room this morning
anticipating that a compromise
case Of the State Bank affair
would come up.
It appears that Attorney Me
Pike, representing the 7. b.
Hickey interests Went to San
Francisco last evening to consult
with Mr.. Hickey. At the arrival
of the mornings train Attorney
Peck. who also represents Hickey
came in. He and McPike passed
each other on the road.
Mr.. Peek asked Judge Langan
to hold the hearing until he could
get into communication with Mr..
McPike and Hickey over the
phone. The ease was in this con-
dition until after IL o'clock with
no results and the attorneys and
directors in lunches talking over
the issues.
Judge Langan stated that he
was inclined to give the attorneys
time for the formulation of plans,
as this i'm his mind was big con.
cern and not a matter for snap
judgment. If such thing as II
compromise could he arranged he
thought it was the best way out
Of the troubles and if it needed
an extra day he was more than
willing to grant the time.
Up to this time the real essence
Of the document. the amount in
volved. has not been stated. 1t
seems to hinge on the amount OF
money that Hickey will raise in
conjunction with the other men,
bers of the directorate. They. 1t
is understood. have agreed to fur
niSh certain sum and Hickey is
to furnish the balance. 1t is this
balance that is delaying the game
to date. That the suit will be
settled there seems to he little
doubt and that there will be a
large sum of money transferred
is conceded. 1t is possible that
