His appointment ia look ed for tomorrow-. HOARDING GOAL Reports Are Not Credited by Conservative People Fpranton. Pa., 30. Some one to-day started a story in this city that the coal carrying companies have thou sands of tons of coal standing on sid ings between this region and the tide water. The assertion was made that the companies were holding It back for the purpose of forcing up prices. This statement was shown to Superinten dent Rose of the Delaware &. Hudson ompany. and he promptly denounced It as a lie. Mr. Rose said the public will never really know much it owes to-the so-called barons in the matter of coal supply that is now so badly need ed everywhere. Mri Rose says that not only are the operators mining all the coal they can, but they are seeking by every human endeavor so to distribute the supply that all sections of the country may participate in the relief afforded. Secretary Dempsey, of the United Mine Workers, today made another bit- a aotamnt n hnil t tho r-nmna n v'ss hoarding coal, but he finds no believ ers amoig conservative people here. All the miners were practically at their posts tyday and the amount of mined vras large. coal THE HUMBERTS Their Case Brought Before the Council of Ministers Tarls. Dec. 30. Minister -of Justice Valle brought the Humbert case before the council of ministers today, saying he had gven $3,000 to the Spanish po ' lice for assisting in the arrest of the nrinclpal In the famous safe frauds. This is additional to the $5,000 reward I AfAMy- for their capture, which has not ! I offered for their capture, which has not yet been paid, owing to the conflicting claims. It Is expected that the prose cution of the Humberts will not begin for several days. The prisoners hlive so far declined to name their lawyers, and the court has designated Maltre Chenu to appear In their behalf. The Humbert safe, which was alleged to contain $20,000,000. has been removed to the Montmartle theatre, where it will be the chief attraction. "Living Wonder" is Dad Pome. Dec. ?0.

Secretary Moody has received n. letter from Rear Admiral Henry C. Taylor, chief of staff to Admiral Dewey, in 'which he-revlewg some of the results' of the naval ma noeuvers. According to the letter the practice work, of the fleet will be fin ished by January 10, when Admirals Dewey and Taylor - will return to Washington in the crulter yacht May flower.' The letter is in part as fol lows: "If the drills g i well we shall pro bably have- done all that Admii&l Dewey wants .tq do some time" during the week beginning Monday, January C, and ending Saturday, January 10. "The tactlrn.1 ririllhv rtfi'lsion were much needed. The fourth division has made considerable progress. A he di vision of four battleships, when work- ed together, did not require much drill ing as they had previously 'had a good deal. "The plan now is to begin working the entire fleet under Admiral Dewey in person, during1 the week beginning Monday, - December 29, and If their ; movement justifies it we will take up ' some battle evolutions with the cruiser . divisions disposed on the flanks and scouting. There will likewise be a blockade problem and then. I think, it j will be time for the dispersal. One half of the task was done when we had the vessels assembled. A large fraction of the remainder v.-as done when we perfected the fleet organiza tion and taught - the individual ships to look to their division and squadron commanders, and for those commanders in turn to look to the commander in chief. This nas not been easy, for we have prnetle&Ily never had a fleet organization, but have worked three ships and thirty shlp3 under the same souadron orrar.iza- !tlon. ! "We have had but few mishaps so far. only a break in the Chicago's steam pipe, which is Leiny- repaired, and a slight injury to th bo v of the torpedo boat Piddle, which -las been foed. All are very enthusiastic over the new system of training for gun pointers and loading drill, kverybedy agrees tha,t the assembling of the ships Is a good scheme and very bene ficial to ajrhands." MooDFrcLiiis: . He Alleges That a Fair Count Will Give Him 800 Majority Asheville. N. C. Dec. 30. Special. Congressman Moody Is here in con ference, with his attorneys and others relative to his contest with Mr. Gudg er. He asserts that when the returns of the recent election are properly re adjusted and counted by a fair trib unal It will be. shown that he has a majority of SCO over his opponent. His assertion that in Blltmore precinct the registration was in flagrant violation of law and that the registration and poll books have been lost, destroyed or stolen, has excited peculiar interest from the fact that Biltmore is a part of the George Vanderbilt estate and that most of the estate employes went there to cast their ballots. Chas. Mc Namee, Mr. Vanderbilt's manager, was among the very active Republican i workers at Blltmore A GOVERNOR LIBELED McSweeny of South Carolina Will Sue a Newspaper Columbia, S. C. Dec. 30. Governor Mills B. McSweeny, considering he has been slandered and libeled. Is about to bring libel suit against the Anderson Mail, a daily paper which has intimat ed broadly that the governor received money consideration for the pardon of John Mcintosh. Mcintosh has wealthy relatives. He Is a cousin of Senator Tillman. He was pardoned out of the penitentiary, where he was serving a term for mur der, by Tillman when governor. Mc intosh was convicted of murder and sentenced and has been out of prison on bond pending appeal. During this time he has twice assaulted men with pistols. The condition of his latest pardon is that he is to leave the state forever. Tillman pardoned him on forever. Tillman pardoned him promise of future good behavior. The more charitable believe Mcin tosh insane. Governor McSweeny's pardon is protested against, and the Mall alleges undue and Improper Influ ence. A Tennessee Contest 'Washington. Dec. 30.

DEAD IN THE WOODS i Circumstances I nd icate aCase of Murder and Revenge Durham. N. C, Dec. 30. Special. News reached here tonight that the re mains of John Rogers, policeman, who disappeared from hi3 home at Virgil Ina, on the Norfolk and Western road, eight weeks ago, were found near that station Saturday by a party of hun ters. The body was so badly decom posed, that recognition was only possi ble by the weapons and clothes of the deceased. The story told tonight is that, about eight weeks ago a negro was killed in Virgilina. His body was found next morning, and with the find ing of the body Officer John Rogers dis- appeared. It was generally supposed that Rogers killed him. Rogers had money in the bank and it wras found that this had been taken from deposit. Later members of his family received a letter stating that Rogers had gone to Asheville and that he would not write again, telling them not to be un easy. This prevented uneasiness on the part of the family until the dead body was found. The supposition is that Rogers killed the negro, drew out his money and attempted to get out of the country, but that he was run down by the friends of the dead negro, killed and then robbed. The same authority gives the statement that Rogers was engaged to a .well known young lady in the community. The whole matter is wrapped in mystery. . This story is told by a prominent citizen living in that section. It is im possible to verify t tonight on account of therejheing, noHtelegrah cpmitctions.have been frequently surpassed during after dark DISTRiCmeSONAGE - Th2 Durham Methodists Will House Their Presid ing Eldtr t Durham, X. C, JJec. 30. Special. At a meeting of the district stewards at Trinity Methodist church the most important action was to locate the par sonage for the presiding elder in Dur ham. Last year it was decided to erect a district parsonage and $2,500 was raised for this purpose. Since then this fund has been in the hands of a com mittee. At the meeting today Trinity church offered to give a site worth $F00 or $1,0C0 for the purpose, and the offer was acccepted. The parsonage will be erected during next year. Dr. J. T. Gibbs, the new presiding elder, will move to Durham just as soon as it is completed, and probably before that time. The salary of the presiding elder was fixed at the same as last year $1,600. , In addition to this, five per cent, of the j total amount paid was assessed against each church in the district with the ex ception of Trinity, to go towards pay ; ing house rent for Dr. Glbbs until the j new parsonage is completed. JUDGE ROBINSON He Will Practice Law in Golds- j boro After Retiring from ! the Bench ; Goldsboro, X.' C, Dec. 30. Special. Judge W. S. O'B. Robinson, whose term of office as superior court judge will expire the 1st of January, will re sume the practice of law in this city. His- preponderating sense of humor coupled with his splendid legal acquire ments, and backed by his natural ability and Irish w;it, have made his .characteristic charges to grand Juries one of the few pleasures of court week. His big heart never permitted the chicanery of legal satellites to over power the weak or oppress the un- ' protected, whose Interests his sympa- jcorps i. sceciai run oress. thetic nature prompted him to guard. Chaplain Pierce petitioned the board. Judge Robinson was elected to the! urging that chaplains be given a more bench during the Rep-Pop landslide in 1S94, which came as a surprise to ev erybody. He has filled the trust with I credit to himself and with gratifica tion to his constituents. He will re tire to private life full of honors and with the applause of his poitical con freres. His defeat in tl;s last election was due only to the change of political sentiment In the state since his elec tion. He will be succeeded on he bench by Judge W. R. Allen, of this city, who has already won for himself a state rep- utation as chairman of the judiciary committee of the' last two Legislatures. ermine of Judge Robinson falls on worthy shoulders The Year 1 902 the Most Prosperous Ever Known The Casing Year Made Not able by the Coal Strike. Crops Have Been Good and Prices Maintained New York, Dec. 30. One, event stands out in startling distinctness in the in dustrial history of 1002. Never before was there and, it is to be hoped, never again will there be, such a. labor con troversy as Ihe anthracite coal strike. Other struggles between labor and capital have been accompanied by greater loss of life and bloodshed, or more disastrous destruction of . prop erty, but no other controversy in this nation's history caused such a paraly sis of industrial activity and r.o great discomfort and loss to the general pub lic. For five months this deadlock con tinued, closing mills and furnaces through Insufficient supplies of fuel, while the actual financial loss of the strike to labor, capital and others will j never be computed. Comsumers of j ccal will be compelled to pay large pre miums over regular prices during the remainder of the winte, while the cost to manufacturing plants has reached an unusual position. Interna tional trade has also been badly dis ' arranged by this factor, finished steel ; exports and coal shipments being espe- ' daily reduced, while imports of pig - iron and coal rose sharply, exceeding ! all records since the steel industry be- j came fully established in this country. Instead of the usual large net exports i of these products, there were imports of over $5,000,000 worth in one month. The condition of the iron industry is still considered a safe barometer of ! general business, and, despite the serl- ous interruption by fuel scarcity, the year 1902 must be considered by far the most prosperous ever experienced, while the outlook for 1903 is still brighter. Aside from tin plates, wire and tubes, there has been little reduc tion in prices, most lines .closing the year at about best prices. Activity has been most conspicuous in" the va rious railway equipment and structural materials. At leading domestic "flour mills all previous records of weekly production tne year just closed. Home consump tion has been large arid also exports of flour, which appear to have attract ed more attention abroad than wheat, the shipments of the two being about equal in November, a very abnormal state of affairs. Agricultural results for the ra?t year NEW REGULATIONS AS TO UNIFORMS What Army and Navy Offi cers Are to Wear on Cer tain Occasions Washington, Dec. 20. resident Roosevelt today returned to the sec retary of war the report - of the army uniform board which was presente i to him by General S. B. M. Young, president of the board. A general or der will be issued io the annv within a few days, prescribing in detail the modifications and changes made in the wearng apparel of officers and enlist ed men of the army. A new regula tion is that 'officers stationed in Wash ington shall wear uniform during hours of duty, and it is explained . in the report that a njernorand urn from the secretary of war expressing the wish of the president that tne unuorn.H i of officers attending functions at the j White House be prescribed, for alloc-!" casions was considered.
