Reading, Penn., January C.
The cal dealers here have been in
formed ty individual producers that
the prices of the smaller sizes of coal
used forjdome&tic purposes would be
advanced; one dollar per ton at the
mines, bat they would be fully gup
plied if the Reading company would
furnish oars. Upon this latter point
there is considerable anxiety. Accord
ing to aj special published in the
Eagle, one o"f the individual collieries
in Schuylkill county has shut down
because its proprietors had been noti-
nea by iie railroad company that
cars wou3 not be furnished if the
advance qjf eight per cent continued
to be paijl The proprietor of this
colliery, in communicating this
information to his miners, de
nounced the railroad management and
laid the entire blame there and offered
to continue work if his men would
waive theeieht per .cent advance un
to settle the arrearage upon the ba
sis of wags finally agreed upon. The
men rejected this proposition,
and the 'mine shut down. Soiie
few of the railroad companies' mines
are working with a reduceiforce, but
it is reported that the company is
stacking igp the coal at the mines, anu
is not forwarding it. None is being
offered here today by the company s
sales agents. Dne large mine at Ash
land suspended , today because of the
scarcity f surface employees. It
was paying upon the December basin,
pending settlement, but th strik
ers persuading so many of the out
side employees to leave, the coal
could not ie handled after the miners
had dug ii, and a stoppage resulted.

j The name of Professor J. T. Cor
liew, superintendent of the Charlotte
graded school, has been handled
ajbout among the gossips of the town
ast a lively rate lor the past few days.
Ifrof. Corlew has been in charge of
the gradod schools of Charlotte for a
couple of years past, and a3 he had
no wife here, the idea of him being
anything but a single man was never
thought of; but a day or two ago the

Chicago. It was whispered cau-

ried man, and was sailing under false
colors in Charlotte. Yesterday a 1
Chronicle reporter met Prof. Corlew
aid askod for his statement in regard
tcj the matter, so that no injustice
mp"ht be done him in the published
report. Corlew did not;. hesitate to
soj that ho was perfectly willing for
the truth to be published. The case
wfis simply this: Prof. Coi.ew had
ben charged with being a married
mbn. He had appeared before the
board oi' school commissioners and
hid made an explanation so satisfac

V asbtngton, D. C., Jan. 6. There
was a full meeting of the House com-
muteo on elections today to a
npon a line of procedure in the
ihoebe-Carli8le contested election
case. The contestant, Thoebe. was
present with his counsel, Messrs
Sypner and Hoover of this city. No
one formally represented the speaker.
Mr. Sypher began the presentation
ol lhoebes case immediately after
tne committee had been called to or
der, taking up first the brief already
uuDmitiea with the record, which as
sumes as the basis of a case that the
Mate election laws were violated in
ine appointment of judges of elec
tion. This infraction of the law, he
asserted, was sufficient to warrant a
favorable considerationlof Thoebe'B
claim; but if the committee did not
agree oh this view he was prepared to
present evidence to satisfy them of
his client's election. The record
alone, he said, would not reveal the
the facts in the case, and it was the
(juty of ;the committee to at once send
,& committee to the district to ascer
tain the facts while it could be done,
i ! Already important papers had been
destroyed, as he was prepared to
prove by affidavits. Taking up the
details of the case, Mr. Sypher said
that on the night af the election it
became apparent to the judges of
election at Covington that Mr. Car
lisle hadi been defeated by more than
2,000 votes. At one o'clock they sent
for Mr. Carlisle and brought him in a
carriage to the house of a friend.
He (Sypher) could gire the name of
tne friend and the location of the
house, but he would not do so unless
the committee urged him. as he did
hOt wish to state all he knew at this
stage of the case. After consulting
with Mr. Carlisle they telegraphed to
have the "returns of the outside coun
ties withheld. "Who are they?"' in
quired Mr. Heard. "'They,' why,
the friends of Mr. Carlisle," replied
Mr. Sypher.
Counsel said that it was a fact that
the returns of six outlying counties
were withheld for five davs and Mr.
Carlisle had publicly confessed that
he, was defeated.
1-You do not attach aDy importance
to this point" suggested Mr. Heard.
TNo, I mst mention it." replied
Mr, Sypher. c
'Hayes, 1 think, confessed defeat

In the Senate Sherman started the
tariff discussion by replying to the
President s message. His speeech is
accepted as au cx cathedra statement
of the republican policy in regard to
tariff legislation, and it is understood
to mean free sugar and free tobacco.
Senator Yoorheea replied, his
speech being a careful and
able elaboration of the mes

and surplus preventing tariff legisla

of the tobacco tax. It is understood !

Since the announcement of thn
House committees today, the per
plexity as to what caused the delay
has prown. North Carolina has been
shamefully treated in the matter nf
chairmanships. It is little short of
outrage to put the State off with one
insignificant session chairmanship.
Henderson was calkd to the Speaker s
aid in the composition of the commit
tees, and was asked by the Speaker
to indicate a chairmanship for him-
self. He did so, and modestly asked
for the committee on Printing. The
Speaker failed him, or deceived him.

no tickets were printed until 3 o'clock

held in some precincts. I a one case
only three judges voted, two for
Carlisle and one for Thoebe. In

cast on I election day but the
returns finally showed 567. In
Carroll county there was practi
cally no election. He could show
that the vqter3had failed to go to the

found thatCarlisle had been defeated
they voted next day. Not only was
this the case in Carroll county, but

counties. Counsel quoted from a
F.tatement by J. J. Blakely who was,
he said, "ajprominent dem.I', and an
attorney of Covington, to the effect
that 24 names appeared to have been
added to one of the poll books after

a letter today from J udge Morse, (in

Morse intimates hat he has discov

the opinion that it was intended to

and indignantly repudiates the story

We were not aware, until recently,
aai, the State Constitution of Kansas
proscribed all Southern men who
were on the Confederate Bide in the
war between the States. There is a
section in ihe Constitution Of Kansas
which proiibits any man from hold
ing; office in the State who served in
the Confederate army or aided, in any
way, the Southern Confederacy. No
wonder grass hoppers, drouths and
famine injure the people of Kansas
every year, and thousands of her peo

Judicial Conflict.
We see it stated that at the Federal
Court in Charlotte, judgment was
given again t Rutherford and Cleve
land counties for the amount
of coupons for interest on the
bonds issued by these counties
for railroad purposes. It is not
likely that tho plaintiffs in these cases
will get much uionuy, because the
county comissiouers of both counties
have been forbidden by injunction to
levy and collect taxes for this pur
pose. .The recent Virginia case is
ample authority that the commission
ers cannot be coerced by attachment
for contempt on these facts, because
the commissioners obey the mandate
of the State Cou.t and lefuse toi levy
the necessary tax So the bond hold
ers will be eonipi llrd to Wait for their
money until the merits Lave been de
cided in the Sta'.e ("ouits Jltl i'jh
iSitjiud. (Iiej'ullie-iii).
Judge Bond ordered judgment
against ltiithifoid and Cleveland
counties, but Judgo Dick staved the
judgment by refusing to agree with
Judge Bond. The State Supreme
Court's opinion agaiust Judge Bond's
decision stands until removed by the

Plaintiff asked for another issue

The jury assessed the value of the
improvements at i53,000, and plaintiff
moved for judgment notwithstanding
the verdiet, which was refused' and
plaintiff appealed. ;

he had reason and the Orient
to believe that his title was good, and
it must be taken that he did sp be

him to state in evidence that he so

That he was charged with; con

because the same was registered,
does not exclude defendant frorji the
benefits of the remedial statute
Jleld, That the issue submitted to
the jury and the instruction tha they

debris was curried into Mill creek
and filled up a mill pond and obstruc

plaintiff sued for damages. Defend
ant denied that plaintiff was thei own
er of the mill. Plaintiff had ini 1879
conveyed the mill and laud to a trus

this deed was declared void by a-icourt

to bring his action for damages as well
as the plaintiff who merely held the

Jleld, That the right ol tne plain

was entitled to at the time of bung
ing hia action, and that he can only
recover such- damages as a mere ten
ant in possession might have suffered
and not such damages as accrued to
the owner of the property.
Jit Id, That it w as error under the
facts of the case to instruct the' jury
on tho question of' Taiuageajas if
plaintiff were entitled to thf full
measure of damages as owner. In a
mere naked possession, the damages
would be nominal: if coupled wjth an
interest, it would be greater or less
according to the interest affected.
