These vlU be the largest In l service, having a capacity f SO tons and are especially designed for the Clinchfleld road. Coal will be deliv ered from these cars from a common centre. They are toeing manufactured' now toy the American Bteel Car Com- , pany, of Pittsburg, Fa., and will be delivered at the earliest possible day. That the beginning of . operations by this mammoth' concern means a stim ulus to business interests and to the commercial uplift of piedmont Caro lina, and to this Immediate city, is ' yerywhere acknowledged. AH the coal that comes from the Clinchfleld Coal Corporation's mines in Virginia, " and consigned to eastern points, will come through Charlotte, striking the - Seaboard Air Line at Bostic and going either to Monroe or Hamlet. r ROAD COOT $50,000,000.

' "ir:-' f A raid of no mean proportions, the second of the sort within a month, by Charlotte police,, has centred Itself about the heads, more or less devoted, of John Bldgood and Carrie Green, both of Hatnmlc lineage. As a result a miscellaneous collection of men s and women's clothing la on deposit on the police station shelves, John Bldgood is the city's prisoner and the woman in the case was liberated yesterday wnen zgt bond was furnished. The cases are set for trial before the re corder to-morrow morning. All the goods were found in the house en South Davidson street, oc cupied by the two, the woman, it is said, being the man's housekeeper. The articles of female apparel were found for the most part In her trunk and the others in the man's trunk! The find was made late Friday night. Demi- led by Patrolmen J. L. John son and Henderson. letter Specialists Malcolm and Hunter were called into the case. Identification was made yesterday by Mr. E. W. Long of a silk-lined coat stolen from Mrs. Dong a month ago. Representatives of Knrd's de partment store say they believe that pairs of trousers exhibited were a part of their stock, but would not identify them on oath, as the' tags have been torn off. An expensive black broadcloth cloak was Identified g the property of Mrs. H. C. Ken- drick. Remaining unidentified up to last night are four hats of good make, an overcoat and many minor articles of apparel.

The date of the bazaar for the bene fit of the Mercy General 'Hospital has been set for December th-12th In clusive and the place, O'Donoghus Hall, on South Tryon street. Com mittees selected from the various societies of St. Peter's Catholic church are working faithfully to make the undertaking a social and financial suc cess. The ladles win serve supper during each evening and an oppetialng busi ness lunch at noon dally during the bazaar. It is being planned to have high-class local talent furnish enter tainment each evening. In addition to' the above, the com-' mlttee promises, a "down-to-date" midway which will afford much pleas ure at a normal cost to all visitors.

COMMISSION MEETS TO-MORROW. to be in the minds of the officials of the road. The line is me inorii 1 that will be In use between the Caro lines and the Ohio valley. FINE CONSTRUCTION WORK. The construction work of the C. C & O. road is said to be the most su-iK-.rh ever done in this part of the country. Money has been absolutely noiircri aut for the sole purpose of sretting a route over which entire train : loads of coal could be pulled with one engine. It Is new claimed that the road, built on a grade of one per cent across the most mountainous sec- i am of North Carolina. Virginia ana .Tennessee, will permit tne naming ai . c ka .r. a. riui. nun con taining SO tons, rrnis wiu oe an k compllshment which no other road abas ever dared to make. In securing Such a minimum .trade, mountains feave been scaled and tunneled at the expense of millions of dollars, the tunnel through which the line enters North Carolina from Tennessee cusi ; ins lust a million dollars. Some idea f the magnitude of the undertaking hv the statement that . at one point a person standing at the . end of one tunnel can see the begin- xilng of another a mile and a quarter way, and yet to reacn mis iunnci the road makes a circuitous route covering 22 miles. This Is a sample of the engineering feats which are snaking possible the quickest freight tioa from the fertile fields of Virginia. SHORTNESS OF ROAD. And yet, after all the circles and 'twists which have been put Into the road Jo the end that a minimum grade could be secured, it Is a fact that the distance by rail from the transfer point at Bluefleld, Va., to Charlotte baa been cut in twain. Heretofore freight shipments of coal have been going around by Petersburg, a. touching North Carolina at Norllna This required the .traversing of a dis tance approximately uu rmirs, wnrre as from Bluefleld via Bostic, the dis tance is about 300 miles to Charlotte 'This proportion of curtailed distance holds good through an tne soumern : territory which the Clinch Odd people wui-wors: witn tneir new proaucv ' Bluefleld is not the point where this oal originates, but merely the place ; where It Is assembled for shipping 'Purposes., The comparative curtail - tnent In distance from this point to Che Carolina coast cities will be main talned whether the terminals be at Savannah, Charleston or Wilmington MM. all aW th.m' an mBtt.F flf fact, the concern is laying plans In an . ticlpatlon of this coast trade. The steamers and schooners which neces sarily use Norfolk. Vs., and Northern terminals for coaling purposes very much prefer Southern coast towns and this trade promises to develop into mammoth proportions. T THE COAX. FIELDS. The lands owned by the Clinchfleld Coal Corporation, which Is the prime factor behind the construction of this railroad, embraces 300,000 acres in southwestern Virginia. President .Winder has put 33,68,000 of his own money into the development of these mines and the prospects are that the annual production will amount to 20, 000,000 tons or more. Twelve new m 1 n.i art! ahttrtlv Hj A avnln. n . . cost of X 1,1 It, 000, Every Industry in piedmont Carolina can be supplied from these fields and at a probable saving, owing to the shortened dis tance, s Charlotte and 43partanburg are still contestants for the location cf the Inland docks for Ah distribu tion of the product of the Clinchfleld mines.' fit Is desired by the company to secure some ptvotai point tn the Carolina where coal can be quickly f cured for shipment to the smaller t . ns and cities where there are ewv-- . 1 cotton stills and other Industries.

In addition to taking this step ror the encouragement of the con gregatlon, the Synod decided to take off the hands of the four members of the home mission board the lot they bought some months ago at the turn of East Boulevard and give It to the congregation. The lot, which is beautifully located, cost 32,200. For the present religious service will be held In Sims Hall for which an organ has bCen purchased.

Governor Glenn will arrive In the city to-morrow afternoon at 4:15 o'clock to attend the Municipal Con vention and will be met at the depot by the local militia. He will be ac companied by his entire staff at this meeting and Mayor Franklin thinks It fit to have the Charlotte artillery boys to meet him at the station and escort him to his hotel.
