Coal Prices Not to Rise.

Unless the number of miners of this
country are decreased by the persist
ent call to arms by their respective
native countries the indications are
that the prices of coal will not be
higher than those asked in this city
last year. There is also some indica-
ton that the prices OF fuel may in
some instances be just a little lower
than last year in Frederick.
In previous years it is claimed the
scarcity of coal was ascribed to the
large expectation, but owing to tur-
bulent conditions abroad and the in
ability to charter ships, much OF the
product must of necessity remain in
this country. Whether this will reflect
in a corresponding decrease in local
coal prices is a question. Some deal
ers think that the increased, supply
in this country will not materially
lower prices.
On the other hand the labor condi-
lions will control retail prices to a
great extent. Many of the miners of
this country are natives of countries
now involved in the European war.
Quite a number have now responded
to the call for arms. If there is any
thing like a general response of min
ers to their country's call shortage
of labor is likely to occur and prices
of coal can be expected to soar.
The regular semi-annual increase
of about % cents per ton will become
effective in Frederick at about Octo-
Der /. Fuel is now just as high as it
was for the corresponding season a
year ago White ash nut, No. 3, is de-
handing $3.50 a ton, and after Octo-
Der will likely bring $715. White ash
nut is selling at $715, Lykens VAL
ley Stove, $74O, and Lykens Valley
nut, $40. After October there will
be a 25-cent increase per ton. Pea
coal is to bring $3.50.
Nothing definite has been given out
on the various grades of bituminous
coal Prices are likely to 1uctuate.
This dispatch from Washington
shows the fuel condition in that city:
"Unless the unforeseen happens,
such as a strike in the hard coal re-
gions or any labor trouble which
would involve the railroads, coal is
| not going to be high priced next win
ter Already the bins of Washington
dealers are filled, and there is no
evidence on the part of the consum-
ers, Judging from the summer orders
placed, that they fear prices will be
| increased. The coal dealer is inclined
to think there will be an increase OF
| just one dime a ton"

Burglar Caught.

The speediest sprinting negro not
registered in professional athletic
events, dust" Gibson, of Carroll
county, who entered the home of
John J. Dronenburg, West South
street, and frightened the family more
than a month ago, who eluded the
clutches of Constable Miller, and who
distanced Sheriff John D. Conard, Jr.,
and Deputy Sheriff Raymond Frizzell
in an automobile race of nearly six
miles, has been captured and is now
in the Westminster Jail. Sheriff Con-
ard and Deputy Sheriff Frizzell will
today go to Westminster and bring
the negro to Frederick for a hearing.
Dust" Gibson is not only a bang
up Splinter, fit for a marathon race.
but is certainly an endurance runner
IN the opinion of Sheriff Conard. Sew
eral days after Gibson is said to have
entered the Dronenburg home, the
sheriff and his deputies found him
near Frederick. The officers gave
chase in an automobile and the negro.
after race of six miles, escaped.
ABOUT dozen bullets were fired in
the chase. One Of the bullets passed
through the Negroes hat knocking it
from his head. The negro dropped his
coat in the race and incidentally left
a clue which led to his arrest in
Carroll county. There was a letter in
the negro's coat pocket with the
postmark, "Woodbine, Carroll coun-
ty," on it. Gibson was located near
mat place and was arrested by the
officials.

Keep Out of War Says Edison.

East Orange, N. j., Aug. a.
Through the hectic flush which i'm
mense war orders have given bust
ness conditions" Thomas A. Edison
sees seven years of untrammeled
States.
These war ORDERS" said the cleo
trical wizard today, "are lending a
flush to business conditions that are
not real. But underneath them can
see prosperity of the most sublime
sort for this nation. But one thing
can overcome it-overdoing it. Peo-
pie must not lose their heads, as has
been the case in other periods, and
must conserve their resources"
The real prosperity period, thinks
the inventor, will come at the close of
the next year, when the armies of Eu-
rope have laid down their weapons
and turned to more peaceful pur-
suits.
There undoubtedly will be a great
influx of immigrants, coming to es-
cape the burdens of the heaviest tax
es the world has ever seen.
"The United States" said Edison.
should be slow to go to war over
Germany's submarine outrages."
I'VE are all agreed" he said, "that
they certainly are outrages, but they
are the acts of a nation that is mad
lighting mad. Germany has done
many things during this war which
she would not condone in normal
times. l would take a whole lot from
man whom | know is fight mad tn

The new dope acts in a startling
manner on its victim. Five minutes
