V The upward trend in the price of fuel has been anticipated by dealers ; - for a few days past, and is conse '' ' y quently not a surprise to them. The ' 1 rise ' Is not occasioned by any v ' scarcity of the . product, as inthe .".yards of the ogmjjany and at the .- ' mouths of the mines thousands of .tons are available and ready for ship men t.'. The operators have simply decided that ;they will begin, their process of fleecing the public earlier,, ifti this season than usual.

At thejime the operators started 'in to secure the tonnage, but by so doing their millions of profits were ... not as much as they thought they would be, and this year it bis been - practically decided to raise the price and limit the product j ..'-As a result it is anticipated that a number of mines will be closed and a large number of men "thrown out -nflpfflrftoyJtfie; Resent anticipated advance is but the first. Others are bound to follow, and no one need be surprised if the price of coal goes beyond $7 a ton this winter," " The next increase which ' may come at any minute, wilt doubt .... less be SOcenta a ton., A third and fourth rise may be looked for. ; WEATHER AND ".CROPS.

C, Sept. 1. Judge Simonton, of the United States Cir cuit Court, yesterday filed his de cision in the suit for injunction brought by the Port Royal and Au gusta Railway against the Southern States Freight Association to pre vent the latter from inaugurating the eighty per Cent cut in rates de clared by it in retaliation for a thirty-three per cent reduction previously made bv the Seaboard Air Line. The temporary restrain ing order is set aside and the bill dismissed. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 1. The Sea board Air-Line officials state that it is not probablo that the Seaboard will meet the cut of the Southern Railway since Judge Simonton dis missed the injunction bill. They state that the 33 1-3 per cent reduc tion will continue. j-: ,Nbw York, Sept. 1. In relation to the decision of Judge Simonton dissolving the injunction preventing the Southern- Freight Association from cutting rates 80 per cent in retaliation for -the 33 per cent, cut by the Seaboard Air Line, President Spencer, of the Southern Railway, says: .-?:.-!,.,' Vl am lust aavisea mat ine an junction against the cutting of rates- has been dissolved and the, bill dis missed by Judge Simonton in the case of Receiver Ayerillj of the Port Royal and Augusta, against the other railroads.

There were some high old times in the court house last night when a meeting was attempted to be held by a few straight out McKinley Re publicans who had met to Organize a McKinley clubv,,Th6 ineeting was apparently intended to be icomposed mainly of Messrs. M. Bowes, John Nichols, F.' M.s So'rrfflT'and Rev. Leak, who are straight McKinley and anti-Russell men. .The best laid plains "oft , gang aglee!, however, and so it ,was that W.'F," Debnam and a couple of score of scions of Russell came in ' to ' take a hand by preponderance of num bers. It -; had been attempted to organize a McKinley : cltib, bui Debman and his cohorts thought it better to have the name pi Russell attached, ' and Debnam. pade a mo tion that the adoption of J he name of the club be reconsidered, where upon Chairman Bowes informed him that he could not make that motion. Debnam then logically and chrono logically informed him that he had made the motion Mr- Bowes in sisted, "you can't do that." And Debnam insisted, "I( . dl4 do it." Then a policeman was sen)! for and Officer Ellison stalked in finid the bubub. Xbe McKinley man ciairaea that they had hired the hall,;that Debr nam was not of them, and had no business in the building and that he should be ejected.. Officer Ellison with "poten, grfive and reverned" air started to perform his jduty, but not so. Debnam stood; nil ground and he stood it on parliamentary ground, and the policeman yielded the point. Throughout; all this scene it was noted that nearly every man present 'was supplied with a stick and these were ' frequently brandished in the air. 'Debnam set the pace with a heavy bamboo with which he accompanied his remarks by various and sundry gesticulations and gi rations. Finally on motion Cnairman Bowes declared the meetingadjourJied. Deb nam called upon the Russell men to take possession of the halt and they did after negotiations wfljh Janitor Booker and on payment of a dollar. Bailey was then nominated for chairman and this. stirred the ani mals up to white heat and they be gan going around the hippodrome. At this altitude of the performance in marched the McKinley contingent again, and flags of truce were ex changed and the belligerents shook hands and adjourned to meet some other day. J 1 As the crowd dispersed a two pound weight was captured from the pockets of one of the ebony scions of Ethiopia, and another was observed to have a "razzer" In a handy place. Bailey of North Carolina comment ed as follows on an incident of the meeting: "One of the interesting sights after last night's pow-wow was to watch Hon. John Pie-counter Nichols at tempt to explain to Maj. H. L. Grant why he was-in the anti-Russell meeting. Nichols is a "foxy" poli tician and is trying his best to grab hold of the band wagon and connect his rotund form with the official pie counter." It may be interesting to know that his name is being mentioned for the superintendency of the Blind Insti tution in case Prof John E, JSayjde- clines the position. ,v. 'It is significant that Mr. Nichols said in course of his remarks that he would vote for Russell whether he stayed 'up or - not. ? Does this mean that Mr. Nichols has reason to doubt that Russell will stay up? The Editor of the Evening Telegram Dead. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. , PmLADEXHiriA, Sept. 1.

Dockery in unmeasured term's. As it was the first county that endorsed Dockery for Governor, and as its delegation were staunch Dockery men, voting for bim on every ballot, .the resolution is signi ficant, showing the seutiment of the Republicans against him. The Charlotte Observer says the follow ing is the resolution aa passed : "The action of Oliver H. Dockery in denouncing McKinley ' and the national Republican platform stamps him as a traitor to his party and one Hamrtby.;.,OfpurfuffrageB. ' Hi conversion tbejeause of free silver and Populisnrfs of too recent a date to inspire confidence, but is rather to be attributed to petty spleen and disappointment at his failure to se cure the nomination for Governor;' As Henderson county Republicans were the first to declare for him for Governor, and loyally supported him on every ballot in the conven tion, so Henderson county Republi cans are the first to repudiate him as a traitor to his party, and pledge ourselves that he shall not receive a single Republican ballot in this county."

Last Friday night on the Southern Railway a fast freight train was robbed while speeding between Pin ner 's Point and Suffolk. A side door on a car had been forced open and a quantity of ladies' shoes, feather boas and other millinery articles stolen from a goods box. Only one stop was made on the run; train came to a standstill at Bruce 's station for a few minutes, only, hardly long enough for the robbery to have been done there. The sup position is that the robbers effected an entrance to the car before it left Pinner's Point, and jumped off be fore the train reached Suffolk. A special agent of the Southern is working on the case. An unique and strange piece of stage mechanism is the ship scene in "Eight Bells," the next attraction at the Academy of Music. The scene shows a cross section of a ship with the passengers on deck and in the state-rooms.

This sort of thing might be unwelcome to ordinary travelers but it is not especially troublesome to the Brothers Byrne, who, being born acrobats, seem as much at home on the walls or ceiling as on the floor. Their agility is shown, also, in a trick carriage scene, in which they tumble in, out and through the vehicle in amostsurprising manner. At the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias a resolution has been introducted prohibiting the payment of death benefits to sui cides, whether the victims ba sane or insane, or 'whether the self-destruction be brought about by de lirium tremens, despondency, nar cotics, or opiates."
