O., Feb. 28. — Another race war took place here as the result of the mortal wounding of a white man by two negroes. The negro quarter wds tired, and the troops were called out. The trouble hnd Its origin In the railroad yards, when M. M. Davis, a brakeiuan. was shot by two negroes, Preston Ladd of Bellefontaine and Edward Deau of this place. I.add was Injured in the battle and was taken to the City hospital. The Total Amount of Coal Produced by the Mines of This District in 1905 was 5,225,201 Tons, an Increase of 738,486 Tons, Compared With 1904. Finally a Motion Prevailed that Bids be Advertisad For Again, and They Will be Considered at Another Session to be Held Last Thursday in March. tion. The government is preparing a scheme for the organization in the event of a call to arms. The announcement has caused a big sensation here. "As ft Democrat in politics, did yon tiud tlic -officials engaged in tlie canal work willing to help you In getting at conditions of the work and things hi general there?" was asked. "They were eager to inform me," he answered. "They seemed to have nothing to conceal, and they have the work accomplished Ibere to show for their efforts. St. Petersburg dispatches say that ItusBla is using all her influence at Berlin to prevent is rupture between France and (termuuy. Her action has been taken at the Instance of the French government,its It Is apparently convinced that fteljuniiy proposes to persist In her attitude on the Moroccan C|Ucstion even .to the point of provoking war. On account of the close relations existing the courts of Berlin and St. Petersburg it is believed In France that Itussjn will have more influence upon Euipffror WiUiain than any other power. 4 Russia Fear* Loss of Loan. Kussia is much coi«-cruef! about the situation, as war liefveen Frunce and Germany would greatly embarrass her. Xot only is the Russjnn government so engrossed with the interior situation as not to lDe In a pos'tlon to offer aid to her ally, but war Cv Duld end the possibility of contracting another loan in Paris, of which KusCin is in urgent need. The details of the tight are not genernlly known, but the fact that n white man had been seriously injured by a negro served to arouse the bitter indignation of a certain class of the whites, within whom the racial hatred of the black citizens has merely been dormant since the famous outbreak of March, ll* 14, whea the burning of a large part of the negro quarter followed the murder of a policeman by a colored man. The ominous gathering of crowds and the open threats of vengeance aroused Mayor Todd and th« police officials to a sense of the impending danger. There was a hasty consultation, afler which Dean was spirited out of jail and taken to Oavton. Wanted to Attack Hospital. In the presence of a gathering of citizens that filled every available spot" of visitors' room in the city hall and In the hearing of many more who crowded up the steps leading to the council chamber but were unable to get Into it, councils, last night after two hours of flery debate in which veiled recriminations and conflicting statements took up the greater part of the time, threw out the third set of street lighting bids, without awarding a contract. The two factions that have been in evidence since the lighting question first came up for consideration last July each tried to have a conti'act awarded, but they did not agree as to the lowest bidder, and, consequently, every motion to give a contract was defeated by about a 15-15 vote. Finally, the bids were all rejected and the city clerk instructed to readvertise for bids to be opened at a joint session on the last Thursday of March. The next joint session will present probably the last chance of the present councils to award a contract under the present ordinance and specifications, as on the Monday following the council will give way to the new council, which, while it will consist In large measure of the present members, yet will be an entirely separate organization. contracts. The opinion, as read by Mr. Murphy, was based on mandamus proceedings brought against Luke Cannon, treasurer of the municipality. Mr. Murphy followed this opinion up by stating that as long as Mr. Ross, of the Citizens' company, declared that $60 was a fair price for arc lights, no more than that sum could be collected from the city during the period not covered by a contract. H. McDonald, of this city, inspector of mines for the Fifth Anthracite District, today forwarded his annual report for 1905 to the State Department of Mines, at Harrlsburg. The Gazette has been permitted to take some statistics of interest from the report for publication in advance of the official reports printed by the State, which cannot be Issued for many months. Like all of the other anthracite districts, the Fifth shows a large increase In the production of coal. The total amount of coal produced was 5.- 225,201 tons, as compared with 4,486r-715, in 1904. an increase of 738,486 tons. Of the amount produced, 4,823,- 425 tons were shipped to market, tho remainder being sold locally or used at the mines. The mines of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. in the production of coal, with those of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. a close second. The total number of persons employed Inside the mines was 9,616, and the total number of persons employed outside was 3,435, a grand total of 13.- 051. There was also an increase in the total number of fatal accidents in the mines of the district from 45 In 1904 to 61 in 1905. There were 93 non-fatal accidents in 1905, as compared with 66 In the previous year. Number of wives made widows was 35 and the number ot children made orphans was 76. "I think it would be folly," he continued, "to array any party against such a work. Criticism "might be all right, but not as partisan criticism. Says Canal Is Being Dug. Mr. Foy then spoke. He said that, while he did not wish to take exception to the opinion of Judge Rice, he did not consider it necessary to go to •Parsons or anywhere else for an example, as the city's sorry experience with the Spring Brook Water Supply Co. was within the memory of all present. In that suit an able jurist ruled that the city was liable for the full amount of the bill rendered by the water company, with Interest, compounded quarterly. The Citizens' company Is furnishing and has furnished light to the city since the expiration of the contract without the suggestion of a new price and, in the speaker's opinion, can collect the full price based on their previous contract, unless they are awarded the contract. The contract, if awarded to the Citizens' company, taking- a basts of 100 arc lamps, would amount to $30,00*0, while. If awarded to Edward Rutledgc, taking Into consideration the price that would have to be paid to the Citizens' company for the. uncontracted period, for the same period would be $31,900; $11,250 to "I believe, the C-anal Is being dug honestly, efficiently aud with earnestness and intelligence. Any observant traveler could offer minor criticism as to what has been done and what has been left undone, but we are not dealing with trivialities there. We are building a great canal, and it Is going to be built. The total production of coal per fatal accident inside was 96,392 tops, compared with 109,432 in 1904. The total number of employes inalde per fatal accident was 17 7, as compared with 225 in 1904. The total number of employes outside per fatal accident was 4 90. A detailed summary of the report is given below: There was another conference upon information that the rioters were organizing and had determined to drag Ladd from the hospital and lynch lilui should Davis die. It was concluded to remove Ladd from the hospital, and while tho authorities are holding the natter secret it Is understood that Ladd was safely got out of town. A mob of 300 men and boys gathered and discussed the probability of getting the negroes. It was apparently uukuown to them that the negroes had been hustled out of the city to Dsyton or elsewhere. "I am convinced that at Panama our work will lie done to the satisfaction of every one who will take the pains lo understand the effect of tropical climate on the laboring man. I do not mean to say that we have ideal labor conditions upon the zone—very far from It. I have a very- poor opinion of the Jamaica negro as a laborer."

To help stamp out the bubonic plague rewards of 10 cents a head were paid for ruts In the Infected neighborhoods. Some of the restful Jamaicans, who became experts, preferred the rat trapping business to the shoveling and dill well financially. "The paralysing fear of Illness." said Mr. Harrison, "no longer benumbs the miud of the canal worker." Aside from malaria, which always exists in tropical climates, he declares that a man may be as comfortable and as healthy there as In New Yrtrk in midsummer.Last night's meeting was in some particulars more spectacular than any so far In the lighting controversy. The audience was frequently, through enthusiasm or partisanship —probably the latter—aroused to a vigorous stamping of feet, whenever speaker,* specially those lh favor of awarding a contract to Edward ntrrtrdge, vigorous remark pertaining to their view of the case. At times the applause Interfered with the transaction of business and several requests had to be made by the chairman and members before it ceased.

Feb. 38.—The re|mrl from Berlin that Germany has expressed her willingness to make concessions on the Moroccan situation if Franco will yield something and the announcement from St. Petersburg that Russia is uslug her influence nt Berlin to prevent a rupture between Germany and France at Algeciras' gave Great Britain a ray of hope that the conference might still succeed in settling the questions of the police and state bank of Morocco. These hoi»es, however, are not strong. Fernwood FOUR WERE BURNED BY GAS EXPLOSION Soon afterward the mob moved for "The Jungle." a locality inhabited by colored people, with the announced purpose of burning that section. Half an hour later the saloon of a man named Kempler, frequented by negroes. was in flames, the mob having previously wrecked the building. Consolidated Boston Washery ........

Avoca Coal Co, Limited 137,984 271 Mr. Harrison adds another criticism as a reason why the dirt is not flying fast enough, that of the failure to double track the Panama railroad.

The arguments and speeches did not affect a single vote, as far as could be seen. There were some slight variations in the vote, but on main questions each side presented a solid phalanx. . When tho meeting was called to ovder by the city clerk all the members of councils—except Gavin, of select, Second ward; and Hopkins, of common. Fifth ward—were present. Mr. Kehoe was elected . chairman without opposition. The lighting question was brought to an active state by a motion made by Wm. Martin that the motion lost at the previous meeting, that a contract for street lighting for five years be awarded to Edward Rutledge, be reconsidered. The motion was seconded by Mr. Foy. Mr. Murphy raised a point of order that the motion was out of order because the maker and seconder had voted against the motion they were trying to bring up again. Mr. Foy answered the point of order by stating that their votes were with the majority when the motion was up before, and they had a right to move to reconsider. The motion of Mr. Martin and Mr. Foy was allowed and was carried without objection. A motion was made by Mr. Mc- Kaig, seconded by Richard Walsh, that the amendment, giving the contract to the Citlwns' Electric Illuminating Co. for a period of Ave years, be reconsidered. This motion was the subject of prolonged discussion, but it was finally agreed to. Agreement Sure, Says Spanish Premier. Pennsylvania Coal Co. .. Lehigh Valley Coal Co. . .

Washington, Feb. 28.—William Nelson Cromwell, whom former Chief Engineer John F. Wallace charge;! with being the Pooh Bah of the Panama canal, was again before the interoceaiw ic canal committee of the senate. A question which Mr. Cromwell repeatedly refused to answer was what payments had been made to him by the new Panama Canal company (French), whose counsel he was during the negotiations for the sale of the company's rights to the United States. Finally Mr. Cromwell said that the total payment made to him would not exceed 1200,000. That was all he had received out of the $40,000,000 paid by this government. John Misite, laborer; injuries same as Gebuskl. Condition very serious. Enock Yacabuskl, miner; face, hands and neck burned. Charles Gasalgi, laborer; burns on face, hands, neck and arms. The men were taken to the hospital about 6;30 and were in very bad condition. Misite Is in a critical condition and may die from his Injuries. Gebuskl is also in a serious state. Today the condition of the other men is favorable and the hospital authorities express a hope that they will all recover. The mayor*sent a hurry call for two companies of the state troops, and the national guardsmen reached the scene of trouble to find that the firemen were being handicapped by the rioters, who cut the hone ami rendered them powerless. at the same time setting tire to other buildings.
