Reports below show how va
rious coal centers stand:
Chicago All the big concerns
here at Chicago have made des-
perate efforts to fill their coal
buckets. The Common Wealth
Edison Co., using 5000 tons a
day, has enough to last 90 days,
after April first The Otis Eleva-
tor Co. are likewise fixed.
+ The Burlington railroad has
bought 1000 ears of eastern coal.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul bought up 1900 cars. All
other railroads entering Chicago
have stored thousands of cars,
but in no instance has single
road got enough coal Ito last it
through three months at the out
side.
Retail prices have not advanced
SO far, but the usual spring dis
counts Will not be offered.
New York-Dealers are pay
ing from so cents to dollar ton
premium for immediate ship
ment. All but regular customers
are being refused. On account of
the English strike, many ocean
steamships are buying coal here
for both going and coming trips.
The New York Central have
bought several thousand cars.
The textile mills of New Eng
land, The American Locomotive
Co., The General Electric Co.,
and The International Paper Co.,

CHARGED WITH KILLING WIFE.
Husband Held, Although Greer Wo-
mans Body Not Found.

spartanburg, May 18.-On April
II, Mary Ballinger, colored, disap-
peared from her home near Greer
and has never been seen nor heard
of since. To-day her husband was
arrested charged with her murder.
For a month past the disappearance
has mystified the people of Greer,
who have advanced many theories as
to her whereabouts. A preliminary
hearing was granted Jones Ballinger,
her husband, and he has been bound
over to the sessions court.
From the evidence it was learned
that on an occasion prior to the time
the woman disappeared, she ran
away. Ballinger is said to have
made threats that he would kill her
if she ran away again. Testimony
was also produced showing that
blood stains were found on the floor
of his house at Appalachie Mills, and
also that blood was seen on the bed
clothing. It is also stated that the
negro burned up a quantity of some
thing on the night of April IL. The
body of the woman has never been
found. if she is dead.

Big Profit on Small Lot.

Atlanta, May 1S.-Col. Richard
Peters, one of Atlanta's old pioneer
citizens, paid s1.25 in a real estate
transaction before the war, for a
small lot on the Northwest corner OF
Peachtree street and North avenue.
That piece Of property, which orig
inally brought one dollar and
quarter in the open market, was sold
Yesterday to an investor for $780,
900. and he considered it good bar
gain at that.
Mrs. Nellie Peters Black, well
known society leader, club woman
and philanthropist worker of this
CITY, is the daughter of Col. Richard
Peters. She believes the deal above
mentioned is perhaps the most re-
markable in the history of real estate
in the United States. If any read
ers of this paper know Of a similar
transaction that beat it, Mrs. Black
and Atlanta real estate people in
general would be very much interest
ed to hear about it. 1t is certainly
the most remarkable deal Atlanta has
ever known.

Poisoning Suspected.

Manning, May 19.-An inquest
was held by Coroner Baggett, on the
body of Primus Williams, a negro
who lived about three miles west OF
Manning. He was taken sick sud-
denly shortly after supper on the
night of the Sth instant and died
next morning before a physician saw
him. Upon the facts given him the
physician decided that death was due
to apoplexy, and the body was buried
on Friday, 10th instant. Soon at
terwards relatives began to suspect
that Primus had been poisoned by
his wife, Mary Williams. Family
fuses were recalled and alleged
threats said to have been made by
the wife. Yesterday, upon represen-
tations made, the coroner decided to
hold an inquest to-day. The body
was exhumed this morning and prep
arations made for an autopsy, but
after hearing the other testimony
presented the jury found that death
was due to natural causes and no fur
ther steps were taken to have the
contents of the stomach analyzed.

TRIED TO STOP DOG FIGHT.
Florence Man Thrown Into Plate
Glass Window and Badly Cut.

Florence, May 19.-City Health
Officer A. J. Hoole met with very
unusual accident yesterday morning,
in which he came near being serious
ly injured; as it was he was painfully
cut by. broken glass.
Two dogs were fighting on the
sidewalk near the corner of Evans
and Irby streets by the Masonic
Temple building. Hoole attempted
to separate them, and in doing so he
was thrown against one of the large
plate glass windows in the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank; the glass is
about a half inch thick. The glass
was smashed and pieces fell on him,
cutting him badly. He was able to
go to his home, however, before hav-
ing the wounds dressed.

SNATCHED FROM DEATH.
Armenian Hero of Daring Rescue at
Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, May 49,
One of the most daring rescues in
the history Of Niagara Falls was az
fected to-day by Aran Kevokian, an
Armenian, of this city, who waded
out waist deep into the rapids, a
short distance above the cataract
and pulled to shore with pike pole
the unconscious form Of Henry j
Smith, so years old, of Buffalo. Ke-
vokian was assisted by David Cor
don and Park Constable Thomas
Harrington, who formed a human
chain, anchoring the Armenian to
the shore and enabling him to resist
the current, which was especially
strong on account of the high water.
Smith was walking along the mar
row path skirting the river, about
800 feet above the falls, when he
missed his footing and fell into the
turbulent stream. He soon became
exhausted in his efforts to reach the
shore and was floating with his head
under water when caught by Kevo-
khan with his pike pole less than 100
feet above the brink. Smith was
soon restored to consciousness ap-
parently none the worse for his ex-
perlence.

Lads Smother in Horse Feed.

Cincinnati, May 17.-The corpses
of two little boys discovered in the
great feed box of a horse stable here
to-day turned out to be the bodies
of Robert and Urban Nichols, the
tots who disappeared from their
homes on April 20. The boys father
found their corpses. He had dipped
a shovel into the feed and when 1t
came in contact with a resisting
mass, he poked down further until
he came upon little foot.
Startled, the elder Nichols tugged
at the foot till the body Of small
boy was yielded. Sure that he had
found one of the missing sons, Mich
OILS worked until he found the corpse
of the other.
When the tots disappeared on
April 20 it was feared they had been
kidnapped by band Of Gypsies and
taken into the Michigan sugar beet
fields. No trace was found of them
in the North, however, and the search
was continued until it took in al
most every big city in the country.
It is believed the boys came to
their death while playing about the
big feed box. Evidently they fell in,
were overwhelmed in the mountain
of feed and then were suffocated.

Remarkable.

Senator Simmons was talking
about a boom.
81 congratulated him on his
boom," said the senator, laughing,
land he appeared astonished that l
knew anything of it. But I told him
I had keen sense for booms, even
for little ones. 1 explained that /
was like the Newbern urchin.
"A Newbern urchin used to call on
a certain old lady every Saturday az
ternoon, and she would give him
piece of cocoanut layer cake. But one
Saturday, as she expected company
for tea, she decided not to cut the
cake, and, therefore, none was offer
ed ito the urchin.
"He said plaintively as the time
came for him to go:
"'I believe I smell cocoanut layer
cake
1.-The old lady laughed, went to the
cupboard and cut him a very tiny
slice. When she gave it to him he
thanked her and said:
"'But it seems strange that I could
smell such little piece, doesn't it, "

Atrocious Conditions in Mexico.

Atlanta, May 20.-J. Frank Beck,
capitalist and club man of this city,
has received letters from a relative
in Mexico telling of atrocious con-
ditions which prevail there in con-
nection with the present war.
The writer is engaged in extensive
business operations in Mexico and
speaks with authority. In the course
of the communication he relates this
typical outrage:
"An American was employed as a
master mechanic in copper mine IN
the State of Guerrero. Through some
carelessness on his part, he failed to
get his American wife out of the
country before communication was
cut off by the Zapistas. For great
er security he went to live with a
Mexican family, also employees OF
the company.
"When Madero called away one
of his generals who had kept order
in that locality by stringent meas
ures. pandemonium broke loose and
the entire State took up arms. Ban
dts attacked the copper mine, cap
tured it, entered the house where
the American and his wife were,
bound all of them, some twenty-five
bandits violated the wife Of the
Mexican. The American woman
they stripped, turning both into the
street naked. They made their way
to the coast, got help from Pacific
Mail steamer, and eventually arrived
in Mexico City,"

Jefferson City, May 15.-The
Standard Oil Company paid fine of
$4,000 to the clerk of the supreme
court to-day as a result of being pros
ecuted as a trust.
There is motion pending before
the court asking that the company
be permitted to pay the fine, togeth-
er with all costs of the prosecution,
and that the order ousting it from
the State be withheld so long as 1t
obeys the laws.
The Republic Oil Company, which
was also found guilty, is expected
now to pay it's fine.

Negro Cheats Gallows.

Macon, Ca, May 21.-Oliver Sim
mons, the negro who was to have
been hanged to-day for the murder
of woman, was found dead in his
cell at daylight this morning, having
taken carbolic acid during the night.
His body was discovered by his wife
who was admitted to his cell to bid
him farewell. The negro had been
suffering with a sore leg and had
been given carbolic solution to
treat it. The presumption is that he
saved up a sufficient quantity of it,,
and when he realized all hope was
gone he drank the fatal dose.

LYNCHING AN ACCIDENT?
Widow of Mob's Victim Brings Suit
Against Insurance. Company.

Baton Rouge, La, May 1S.-
Whether lynching is an accident is
an interesting question which the
courts here will be called upon to de-
eide. Cora Miles, wife of Frank
Miles, who was hanged by a mob IN
Shreveport few weeks ago for writ
ing an insulting note to white wo-
man, filed suit to-day against local
accident insurance company asking
for the payment of S40O policy car
ried by her husband.
In the petition the wife does not
say her husband was lynched, but
declares that he was found hanging
from the limb of tree in the rear
of the baseball park with a rope tied
around his neck"

The commonwealth will next try
Claude Allen, on an indictment charg-
ing the murder of Judge Massie. This
trial begins Monday. The defend
ants attorney announced after court
adjourned that they would ask for
a writ of error.
The prisoners wife sat beside AL
len when the verdict was brought in.
She was dressed in black and wore
a large poke bonnet so her face
could not be seen. Allen seemed
brighter this morning, evidently ex-
pecting a mistrial. He was the pic
ture Of despair when the verdict was
read.

Killed by Fast Mail Train.

Florence, May 20.-Henry Powers,
a. we'll known young farmer of the
Mars Bluff section, was killed by a
fast mail train on a crossing near
Mars Bluff station last night. 1t is
supposed that the young man was

as there are two tracks on that Sec
ton of the road he got on the wrong
one to let the train go by.
The inquest was held this morn
ing, the railroad company having
taken care of the body last night.

life away and all afternoon it lay as
an object of great curiosity to beach
strollers.
