All coal production records were
broken In Northern West Virginia
on Monday when 3,001 cars or 1906
$50 tons were loaded. The showing
made on the B. & o. system was
particularly strong, where records
were also shattered. More empties
were distributed to the N.Y. Of
Northern West Virginia yesterday
on all the railroads, as a whole
than any other time in the history
OF the coal fields Of Northern West
Virginia.
The production in Northern
West Virginia yesterday was more
than double that In some single
days during the last week and the
production on the Monongah Diy!s-
ion B. & o. was stronger yester.
day than all of that In Northern
West Virginia on a number q days
during last week.
Northern West VirgNfN had a
bumper car supply yesterday and
the mines proved that they made
a successful effort at coal loading.
For instance on the Monongah Di.
vision, b. & o. only nineteen OF
the total number OF empties that
were placed at 2 a. m. yesterday
-1750-were not loaded by the
various operations.

ho believed she was insane and that
she had threatened to kill him IL he
told anything about her.
When he met Costa, Mr.. Bull was
accompanied by Harry Z. Cole, a
friend and private detective. The

him Of misconduct with Mrs. Bull.
