tinue in office because there was
no successor elected. Bryan re-

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ,22.-Testi-- llony taken today in the case of the government against the Western Fuel company officials showed that the company received 10000 more tons of coal in the past six years than the custom house reports made by the company would indicate and that therefore the government was de frauded out of the custom duties on that number of tons.
 The case will require another week to try, as the government have not completed their case. The books of the company, which were seized by secret service men, are being intro ferences between the amount of coal duced against the men and the diff ferences between the amount of coal received and the amount upon which duty was paid can be readily shown The books also revealed the fact that the fuel company short-weighted all their customers in San Francisco

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Dec. D. An express car of the New York New Haven & Hartford fast mail train caught fire while en route to this city and the express messenger was forced to cling to the car for many miles while the blazing flames swept over his head.
 Unable to make the engineer un- ierstand his plight the messenger fought to extinguish the flames and failing in that was forced to take his choice of roasting to death in the car, jumping to almost certain death from the train, which was travelling at the rate of 50 miles an hour, or to swing below the floor of the car and hang on until this station was reached. He chose the latter method of saving his life and was almost exhausted when the train stopped here.
 The flames were extinguished by the local fire department, who were called. The loss is stated by the ex- press company to be at least $80,000, as much Christmas express for all parts of New England was on the car, which was total loss.
