It is stated on reliable authority that the supply of anthracite coal in the hands of rail roads and dealers here, will at the present rate of consumption, probably be exhausted by the middle of Sep tember. The report that the railroads are turning ovv-i&" the retailer sup plies they have been holding in re serve since the inauguration of the strike, is said not to Ibe true. In only one important case, it was stated, that of the roads released the coal held by them in May, all of the others retaining what they have for their own purposes. In the case of the Pennsylvania that road has not such need for what little 1 it has retained, as it could use its soft coal. This was the reason in turning a I quantity of anthracite over to some of Its trade the past week. Shenandoah, Pa., July 29. Thomas Tosh of this city, a coal and iron po liceman in charge of a camp of special miner guards, was attacked by strikers today and compelled to seek the shel ter of his home. The strikers say Tosh has been active in attempting to in duce mine workers to return to the collieries. Last night a workman, name unknown, was severely beaten by a snob. He was rescued and taken to the station house for safety. ANNIVERSARY OF KING - HUMBERT'S ASSASSINATION Rome, July 29.

DISASTROUS FIRE III PITTSBUBG YESTERDAY SIX FIREMEN WERE INJURED $300,000 PROPERTY LOSS SUSTAINED. Pittsburg, Pa., July 29. iSix firemen injured, two eight-story buildings I almost completely destroyed, a num ber of others slightly damaged and a property loss estimated at $.300,000 is 1 the result of a, fire today on Liberty street, which' raged, fiercely for seven hours. About 1:30 o'clock this morning flames were discovered issuing from the build ing at 919 Liberty street, occupied 'by the De Noftn Brothers' Paint & Varnish company. Owing to the combustible nature of the stock, the fire spread rapidly and soon the adjoining buildjng occupied by Stewart Brothers, dealers in rubber goods, was also on fire. As the fire spread there were frequent ex plosions and about 2 o'clock, when the flames appeared to be succumbing to the efforts of 'the firemen, there was an explosion that shook the (building and shot the flames far out over Liberty street. Five firemen were caught and badly burned about the hands and scorched about the face1. They were at once taken to the Homeopathic hos pital and later removed to their homes. The injuries are not regarded as seri ous. The origin of the fire lias not been determined. The loss is about two thirds covered by insurance. t ROAD FROM CONCORD Tfl riXrTTPlll I r introduce' n the other hand, District IU I Alt I ItVILLt Attorney Holton thought the prosecu tion could present its side in about t three hours.

FURIOUS PERFORMANCE OF AN INSULTED WOMAN St. Louis, July 29. Miss Kathleen Smith, a stenographer, four weeks ago received an insulting telephone message from an unknown man. She learned the message was sent from a saloon and she invaded the place a day or two later funds and credits of the bank but little and horsewhipped the bartender. Today importance was attached to the move as she learned the guilty sender was James the attorneys themselves tacitly ad Smith. She promptly hunted him, up mitted that the defects of the initial and lashed him several times in the face till were practically cured by its conr with a Mexican quirk, drawing blood solidation with the second " bill, but the at every "blow.

Matrix - CASE IS NOW ON TRIAL mrL I iun TO QUASH THE SECOND INDICTMENT OVER RULED. Forfeiture of $80 Against Dr. C. S. Jordan for Non Attendance Ordered. EFFORT TO ATTACK FIRST GRAND JURY VALIDITY OF SECOND BILL OF IN JJICTMENT ATTACKED GROUND THAT A JUROR ON HAD FAILED TO PAY HIS TAXES. J udge Boyd having arrived on an early train the special term of the Federal Circuit court yesterday began the trans action pf business under circumstances somewhat out of the ordinary. The old court attendant has on the first day of any sessinn of the Federal court been accustomed to see the court room crowded with mountaineers who were suspected of having made moun tain dew by the light of the shining moon. Yesterday it was different. The Lawrence Puliiam embezzlement case was the order of the day and a very fine looking body of men were there to hear -what the evidence brought forth. In fact, the great cloud of witnesses summoned by the defense alone con- stitutes a very fine body of men rep- resenting1, as thev do thf nrnf AssTon n 1 resenting, as they . do, the professional and business life of the city, j In response to a query from the i court Judge Charles A. Moore ex pressed the opinion that at least three ' days would be consumed in the exami- j j nation of the witnesses his client would I bench, by the side of his attorneys, Judge Moore, Col. V. S. Lusk and Lawrence McLoud, - He seldom spoke to the attorneys, but kept his eyes fixed on the judge. The first move for delay came when the defense, through (Judge Moore, an nounced a readiness for trial but for the absence of Dr. Charles S. Jordan, who was under subpoena, hut whose whereabouts were unknown at that moment. A number of telegrams had been sent to places where Dr Jordan was thought to be, but without avail. It was furthermore explained that Dr. Jordan's evidence was vitally impor tant, as he had attended the defendant ? his illness, when it is alleged, Mr Puliiam was mentally incapacitated. The court took the view that the trial should not again be delayed on account of the voluntary absence of a single witness, and said that he had come here to try the case and that it must pro ceed. This with such emphasis that it , was plain the court would brook no de j lay, unless the cause was of the great est possible importance. Forfeiture amounting to about $80 was entered against Dr. Jordan. The two moves of consequence noted during the day were the effort of the de fense to attack the organization of the first grand jury at Greensboro, and the effort to quash the second bill of in dictment. The first-motion, was based on the ground that the bill was not specific in its reference to the moneys, state when the noon recess was taken. When the afternoon session opened District Attorney Holton argued that the defense was too late in voicing' an objection to George W. Whittemore, the juror in question and the court held that juror was not .disqualified for seryice. In short both motions were iost the defense gave notice that exceptions, would (be filed. , As soon as .these matters were dis posed of the work of selecting the jury -was fbegun and completed to the sat isfaction of jboth sides in less than- a half hour.
