A NEW YORK dispatch says: The backbone of the Beading coal combine has been broken before it had a chanca to celebrate its first* anniversary next month. There have been rumors for a week that such a thing was coming, but the manifest desire oi the eo*l baroue io have the fact believed in order to call off legislation led many people to think that it was only a blind. The Central Railroad of New Jersey has withdrawn from the combination, and the full evidence will be forthcoming in a short time. The Beading will still continue to lease the Lehigh Valley if the courts - do not break up the alliance, but this is of small account. The one silent fact is that the coal barons have fallen out, and the public may be a decided gainer before the winter is over if the companies do not agree any better than they do at present. Presi­ dent Maxwell of the Jersey Central ad­ mits that they had become tired of the hostility toward the combine and they had no desire to see the coal traffic of his road pass into the hands of a re­ ceiver. .• "*W ESTERN7~ A WRITER in the San FranEIS.X) Ex­ aminer tells how, when a young man, he answered a small "agents wanted" advertisement, engaged with the ad­ vertisers as canvasser, and during the winter made $6S0 clear of expenses.

A.COLORED woman wandering about in the vicinity of Lone Jack, Mo., in an apparently demented condition, was arrested. She said that she and her sister and the latter's husband were working their way north from Arkansas; that the husband and wife quarreled, resulting in the man beating the wom­ an's brains out. The man had fled. The body of the murdered woman was found on the top or a pile of fence rails, out of which the murderer constructed a funeral pyre where he had attempted to cremate the body. ONE of the most serious mining acci­ dents that ever occurred in Colorado is reported at King, four miles from Como. The Union Pacific own and operate coal mines there, where :d00 miners are em­ ployed. In one of the chambers, where twenty-eight men were at work, a pre­ mature explosion occurred, and twenty- seven of the number were instantly- killed. The remaining one, being near the entrance, escaped. The bodies have been recovered, but on account of their blackened condition only eleven of the twenty-seven have been recognized. THE Governor's message was deliver­ ed to a joint session of the Wyoming Legislature Wednesday afternoon. He makes the raid of the cattlemen his text, and in addition says; "Referring to the messages of my predecessors I find it the unfversal custom to eongrau- late the citizens upon their prosperous and happy condition. I deeply regret that I do not feel justified at this time to say that, the State is advancing in prosperity or increasing in population* as we would desire to see it. During the last year few signs of prosperity have been visible. There is an unmis­ takable reason for this to which it be­ came my duty to refer. SOUTHERN.

A DYNAMITE bomb that had been placed in front of the building dccupled by the Catholic club at Seraing, Bel­ gium. exploded Tuesday morning, com­ pletely wrecking the front of the struct- There is no clue to the perpetrators of the outrage. Seraing is the center of an extensive coal .mining district, and it is supposed that the explosion was in some way connected with the strike of coal miners in Western Germany. A CALAMITOUS accident occurred Tuesday at Penzance, Cornwall. While a number of men were at work in the Wheal Owl Mine, at that place, water suddenly rushed in and drowned many of the miners. As soon as the rush of the water was heard those who were nearest to the shaft crowded into the cage and were quickly drawn to the sun ace. Others at a distance were overtaken by the water and their cries could be heard resounding through the galleries. The number of men drowned was thirty. THE French ministry resigned Tues­ day, owing to differences in the Cabinet over the arrest of Baihaut, ex-Minister of Public Works, and other matters. The greatest excitement prevailed at Paris when the resignation was made public, and people thronged the streets to such an extent that the police were ordered out to disperse the crowds. The President at once charged M. Rlbot with the duty of reconstructing the ministry. It is openly declared that the President and M. Ribot are not in earnest in the Panama prosecutions, that they have no intention of bringing the bribe-takers to trial, and that the prosecution of De Lesseps, Fontane, Cottu, and Eiffel will be nothing more than a farce. It is also charged that efforts are being made to postpone the exposure of certain guilty parties until the law of prescription will have taken effect. INGENERAL. THE Reading combine is reported to be interested in the syndicate which has obtained control of nearly all the coal mines in Nova Scotia. The new combine has a capital of $18,00 *,000. R. G. DJTN & Co.'s weekly review of* trade says: The business of the new year opens welL la every part of the country, and apparent­ ly in almost every branch of business, the traders are looking forward to a year of large transactions. But in financial circles the year opens with a considerable feeling of uncertainty owing to-the revival of gold exports, which were 82,000,000 for the we«k. THE United States Consul at Toronto, Opt., Col. Pope, was not officially in­ vited to the recent banquet ot the Board of Trade which was attended by the publie men of Canada. Col. Pope is an able after-dinner speaker, and has been absent from so few important functions during the four years of his residence in Toronto that his absence caused no lit­ tle comment. He is much displeased, it is said, at the slight put upon the of­ fice which he holds, and many members of the Board of Trade acknowledged that a mistake was made in not inviting him. ^ „ MARKET REPORTS. Rival Factions of the Kansas Legislature Hold the Fort for Twenty-four Houru-- Neither Side Will Surrender--A Compro- mise Proposed. Night Spent in the Capitol. Two bodies of law-makers, In'the same hall, eac h with a speaker of its own, and claiming to be the lawful As­ sembly of the State, is th,o situation here, says a Topeka, Kan., dispateh. At 1 o'clock in the moruir g, when it be­ came apparent that no move could be made by the Populists until the Senate should meet, an armed truce was declared, and euch s'de relaxed somewhat its vigilance. Speakers Douglass and Dunsmore agreed that neither side should attempt to transact business during the night, and they re: tired. Blankets were brought and a joint bed was made up for them behind the Speaker's desk, where they enjoyed more or less undisturbed repose. The other members of the two houses were i less fortunate, being obliged to sleep in chairs, on the floor, or in any nook or corper not otherwise occupied. During the night the Republicans prepared a memorial to the Governor, signed by sixty-four members who hai certifi­ cates of election from the State Can- vas;ng Board, certified to by the Secfe- tary of State, setting forth that they, a majority o:" two of the whole number of members, had participated in the .Re­ publican organization and petitioning him to recognize that body as the legally constituted House of Representatives. This communication was taken to the Governor at midnight. IIo was aroused and accepted the document, bjttold the committee presenting ifr that he had no statement to make. At 7 o'clock in the morning the members began to arouse themselves and to cast about for break­ fast. Sandwiches and "coffee were served in the cloak-roooss and then be­ gan a three hours' wait for the assem­ bling of the Senate. The Populi-ts' plan for bringing things to an issue contemplated an im­ portant move at li» o'clock, to which iiour the Senate adjourned the previous day.« The plan involved the recognition of the Populist House by the Governor and Senate, which is ruled by a Popu­ list majority. This being done the Populist Speaker was to request the retirement of all persons hot members of the House, including the members of the Republican House. If the latter declined to withdraw voluntarily then the Governor was to order the Adjutant General to lend his assistance in forcing them out, the latter being au­ thorized to order out the militia to en­ force his orders.

Fourteen inen and one woman ad­ dressed the House World's Fair Com­ mittee in opposition to the pending joint resolution authorizing Sunday opening of the Exposition. About fifty specta­ tors and three members of the Durborow committee were present at the opening, but before the close three more commit­ teemen dropped in and got the benefit of a few speeches. Col. Shepard led off in a ten minutes' address, in which he claimed that the opponents of Sunday closing represent the Christian senti­ ment of the whole United States; that the Secretary of the World's Fair Com­ mission has certified that there are on file petitions signed by more than 23,- 000,000 citizens taking for the preserva­ tion of the Sabbath by Sunday closing. The Rev. Dr. Ramsdell said he wanted the Exposition to be a grand success and every dollar paid back to those who have advanced it. The managers should respect the prejudices of religious (Peo­ ple, else they would be in conscience bound to refrain from .giving their pat­ ronage to the Exposition. He made a calculation of the number of pieachers in the United States, the officers of the churches, and the members of their families who would not go to Chicago if the Fair is kept open Sundays, and comparing this aggregate loss with the estimated revenue of twenty-six Sun­ days figured out a very large net loss. Besides, he predicted that the $900,000 asked for medals will not be appro­ priated. Joseph Cook, of Boston, considered it dishonofable to ask for Sunday opening "after having accepted the $2,50ii,000 on condition of closing the Fair. He thought thieves, thugs, gamblers, and all kinds of undesirable people would flock to Chicago, and certain parts of the city would be overrun by them. He also gave the Wrorld's Fair managers a sharp rap for violating the trust reposed in them In respect to the sale of liquors. The Rev. Dr. Mott, of New Jersey, pleaded for preservation of the good name of this Christian nation by observ­ ance of the Sabbath, and incidentally criticised the directory for granting catchpenny concessions. Dr. Coffin, of Iowa, ex-Railroad Commissioner, spoke as the representative of the farmers of that State and the railroad trainmen of the whole country. Dr. Crafts, of Pittsburg, Pa., said there were no pe­ titions from liquor dealers except one favoring Sunday opening. He expressed surprise that the Mayor and t ouncil of Chicago should ask Congress to help them violate the State laws against amusements on Sunday. He read to the committee letters from Bishop Pot­ ter, of New York, and Cardinal Gib­ bons, of Baltimore. BELIEVE IN SHORT SKIRTS. ' Woman Suffrage Agitators Discuss the Fro- posed Reform. ' Missouri and Kansas woman suffrage agitators came together at 1< ansas City, Mo., to advocate the short-skirt reform. Many of the members came with dresses three or four inches above the ground, to see how the thing really looked, and those who had objected lo the reform came into line when they saw that every inch taken from the bottom of a skirt took ten years from the woman's age. Mrs. J. C. Merine, author of the short-skirt idea and wife of the well-known portrait painter, made a little speech in which she deplored ' the fact that her shorter dresses were j not completed hi time for the meeting. I Another woman stepped to the front and j showed how nicely her dress hung when shortened and how only a few additional inches of feet were exhibited to the public. One exhibitor of the mode was accused of being a traitor because the back of her dress hung too low, but on discovering the fact she naively re­ marked that a hook was out of place and calmly proceeded to adjust it. No one seemed to want the resolution amended to permit of lower or, higher dresses.

The combine, it Is said, has over $IV,- 000,000 to invest in the project. The Nova Scotia Leg slature has been called to meet to ratify tho bargain. A well-known financier says of the scheme: "This consolidation of Nova Scotia mining companies is the outcome of the combination of the anthracite coal carriers in February, 1892, and the anthracite men are believed to be back­ ing this deal to protect themselves again-1 the competition of Nova Scotia coal in the event of the abolition of coal duties. .£6 .64 16.50 .6T>' .37' .35 m .58 <& .05 (£$17.00 & 5.50 7.75 & 5.50 .83 3.50 3.00 3.00 JBTL .62 & .53 •97%<$ .39'! .17 & .33 ,*4 18.60 419.00 Coal Becoming Scarcer and Higher and the River X 4 Rising.

World's Fair Budget Increased--Flnan- 7 " ciers Are Perturbed. -- Mr. Burnhnm has made another esti­ mate of the amount of money necessary to finish the World's Fair buildings and put Jackson Park in proper shape for open'ng the gates of the exposition on May 1. Much to the surprise of the Board of Directors this estimate calls for between $400,000 and $500,000 more than any previous- budget prepared by the .director of works. Naturally the directors who have heard of this esti­ mate are very "uneasy. The large in­ crease over all previous guesses at the cost of building tho Fair was a complete surprise, for the director of works has been very liberal in his estimates, and it was generally supposed that the top notch of possible expenditures had been reached in a previous calculation. A member of the Finance Committee ex­ pressed the sentiment of the board when he said "expenses are running away with us." NO ELECTION Ity MONTANA. ' Democrats Have Not Vet Nominated A Candidate for Scnatoy. The Montana Legislature met in joint session to take the first ballot for United States Senator. There were present thirty-three Republicans, thir­ ty-four Democrats and three Populists, a total of seventy. The sick Democrat­ ic member, Davidson, was not present. The Republicans all voted for W. F. Sanders, the caucus nominee, and. while to a certain extent the vote was scattered, it gave a very good idea of the strength of the leading candidates. Two of the Populists voted for Mulville, Populist, and thi third voted for Haus- er, Democrat. This latter was Beecher, who agreed at the beginning of the ses­ sion to stand by the Democrats on all political questions. He has announced that he will stand by "le Democrats in the fight until it is over. ' Mr. Cleveland Must Fay Daty. Somebody abroad has sent President­ elect Cleveland a package of woolen gloves.

UNITED STATES TREASURER NEBEKER has reported to Secretary Foster that the account of the legal tender notes of the denomination of $500, series of 1874, shows, as it stands, an excess of $54,000 redeemed over the issue--$28,400,000 in all. When the Treasurer's attention • was first called to the condition of this account he caused an examination to be m ide to discover if possible what was wrong, but nothing has been found to- throw any light on the subject. Hi3 in­ vestigation has convinced him that there has been nothing like an overis­ sue, or the redemption of counterfeits or anything else that would have caused a lass t» the government. V- -SUIT
