(Hamilton Spectator.) Regarding the probable price of an- thracite coal for domestic use dur- ing the coming winter, we see no reaSOn to change the view expressed some time ago, namely, that the best policy of the consumer at pres- ent is to buy one ton at a time and that, after the close of navigation, the supply will become abundant at or near the normal price. The situa- tion, as we have heretofore explain- ed it, is simply this: The two months strike in the Pennsylvania anthracite fields last spring greatly lessened the ordinary output. When full produc- tiOn was resumed, it was deemed rise to take advantage of so much of the season of navigation as re- mained to hurry coal to the west, and, as the entire available supply was limited for the reason mention- ed, this left very little for the east. The calculation was that ere long the continuance of full production at the mines would enlarge the supply, and that, upon the close of navigation, when there woulh no longer be any incentive for special aaste in _de- spatching coal westward, due atten- tion would be given to the wants of the east, and prices would return to something like their natural level. The consumer was advised to purâ€" . sue a handâ€"to-mouth poliCy durin_ the interval, and but only so much coal as he actually needed ‘for th time being. It is to the credit of the regular “line companies" that even during the temporary scarcity they have not raised their price. Such coal as they could deliver they have sold at the ordinary price. But because they”r could not deliver as much as usual the “independent companies” who have been speculating in the strinâ€" geDCy have been able to extort inâ€" creased prices for so much of the available coal supply as they had cornered and people had to go to them to get. It will easily be seen that to produce a panic would be simply to play into the hands of those independent companies. If. ev- erybody wants a winterjs supply of coal delivered in the fall, the demand will so greatly exceed the supply that the speculators can charge what they please. If the public will just have patience for a few weeks,. and buy only what they need in the in- terim, the men interested in corner» ing the market will lose their grip, i and the line companies will be able to accommodate everybody at no great advance upon the price of last winter.

The plaintiff acknowledged that she had been associated in breach of promise suits against local gentlemen. The plaintiffs meeting with the defendant she described as romantic. He saved her from a wild animal on Ridout-st. one night. which was latâ€" er discovered to be a local citizen’s automobile. Mr. A. M. Fulton able performed the duties of court clerk. Chief of ‘ Police Chilton was court omcer, and the veteran court crier, John Short, was right at home in that role last H. B. Black testified to watching the attentions the defendant paid to Mrs. Perkins at the ”Paradise.” It was the only thing he did pay. In explaining to the court what monomania was) Dr. Blanchard cited several cases in town. The defendant told the court he wanted a sunflower of a wifeâ€"someâ€" thing that would shut up ar night. Colonel Newton interrogated that it would be impossible to get one to do so at any other time. His Hon» Judge McIntyre was very stately on the bench and in his rul- ings as well as his charge to the jury, he added must to the amuse- meat. Mr. Geo. F. Blackwell, as Prof. Star, teacher of elacution at Chicken Snow, made a. hit with the audi- ence, and his story of the dog fight at the town hall brought down the house. Miss Lizzie Spratt made a Winsome Miss Perkins, niece of the defendant. Her work as a star witness in the case could not be improved upon. She looked and acted her part in an admirable manner. Dr. Blanchard as Dr. Cut Him Up, was immense. As a. witness he in- troduced some excellent humor into his evidence, which tickled the audi- ence immensely. Mr. L. V. O’Connor, lawyer for the defendant handled the case in a very cfever manner, his examina- tion of the witnesses as well as his address to the jury bringing out droll comedy lines. a capital character. His quamt man- nerisms, and' his efiorts to eVade the home thrusts of the lawyer for the defendant convulsed the house with laughter. Mr. Walter Kirchnnell, the wooer and defendant in the case, had a. didicult part, which he efficiently handled both in the box and out of it. Mrs. A. 13. McIntyre,.a.s Miss Mayâ€" flower, who boarded for five Years at Perkins’ Paradise, was an excellent witness. She was called for the plainâ€" t-ifl, but her evidence strongly favor- ed the defendant 1n the case. Mrs. Mcmtyre acted hul‘ role admirably, and Well deserved the hearty ap- plause accorded her as she left the Witness stand. Mr. H. B.

Port Hope, Nov. lâ€"Late last night the steam barge “Junead,” with the 1 barge “Lock” in tow, from Point Anne, Believiue, to Toronto, loaded with stone, sprunk a leak, and had to cut adrift from the “Lock" pntt- in; into Cobourg, where she sank at the pier. The barge “Lock" 1erit‘" to her own resources, was anchored, but during the fierce storm broke away from her anchorage, sprung a leak and sank near the Gull light- house. The crew, consisting of nine menand one wonan, took to the boats and reached this port safely, this morning, after a terrible exper- ience on the rough lake. This is the first known wreck of the late navi- gation season this year. Capt. Mc- Gregor of Deseronto, commanded the “Lock” and Captain McIntyre of To- ronto, the “Juneau." l J urorsâ€"Alex.

STEAM BARGE SANK ‘ NEAR CUBOURG Judge McMillan, in delivering his charge to the jury, saluted them as “gentlemen.” He wondered for why. He said he knew they all had been defendants in breach of promise cas- es. Colonel Newton declared the jury to be the han-dsomest collect'on of manlin-ess and beauty he had ever gazed upon. He said the town should be proud of them, the proVince of Ontario boast of them and the Do- minion of' Canada be glad of their existence. Dumng this recital one of these worthies was awakened. the prosecuting LOUIlSol, whn he was told that he had put many in a box.‘ And, again, Dr. Sinyson, who was. called in for consultaion on Mrs. Perkin-s momomania, disagreed with the witness. Colonel Newton enquired if, in such a case, the conâ€" sulting physicians do not exact a larger fee. Witness answered in the affirmative. Colonel Newton, accord- ing, turned to Mr. O’Connor and as- sured him that theirs was not the only profession in which it paid to have adverse Opinions.
