The engines were all ordered last April and May, before the labor troubles began, and @t the time they were contracted for one tlause arranged for their shipment in Jan- Uary, Strikers Say “No Engines.” Strikers take no stock in the assurances of the rallway president that the motiye power famine ls thus to be immodiatsly felleved.

Mr. Rosewater grew pale, hesi- tated and retreated beyond range.' The junior yellow journal for its noon edition rewrote this story and exaggerated it into an attempted assault by Savage upon Mr. Rosewater. It sald that J. F. McKesaon caught and held the arm of the retiring governor while Mr. Rosewater im- mediately escaped and ran to the depot, where he caught the first train for Omaha. Instructions were given the newsboys to feature this story in crying thelr papers. As a matter of fact Mr. Rosewater was present at the reception and shook hands and chatted with his friénds in the long line of the recelving party. There was a large formal erowd present at the function and the evening passed without Mr. Rose- water meeting or having anything whatever to do with the ex-governor. There is not the slightest foundatibn for the fakes pub- lished in the yellow journals. HIBBARD LEAVES LETTERS Encloses Tickets for the Theater in Addreased Sweethenrt. . —— ‘The funeral of H. 8. Hibbard, the young Irvington man who shot himself Thursday morning, will be held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon from the Modern Woodmen of America hall in Irvington, The deceased left two letters, one ad- dressed to his father and the other to his flance, Miss May Peterson, but neither mis. sive reveals any motive for Hibbard taking his own life. In the letter to his father he directs that the money to which he is en- titled from his estate should go to Miss Peterson. He states that he killed himself because “it is sweeter than life.” In the letter addressed to Miss Peterson the young man said that it was his desire that the money which he possessed.should go to her. He inclosed two tickets for the ““Ben Hur" production at Boyd's theater, stating that he would like to have gone with her, but that she “‘would have to excuse him.” The only cause assigned for the deed is that the approaching marriage is supposed to have been vere mental strain upon him. GROCERY JOBBERS VERY BUSY nd for Tea is Followed Lively Trade in Other Lin Heavy Dem: by Grocery jobbers report the most active business dpring thls week that has ever been experienced during the corresponding term of any year. The activity began with the movement of tea last week, the reduc- tion of the price consequent upon the re- moval of the t&riff having made the demand large not only for advance orders, but for immediato demand. Following the great demand for tea comes an unexpected in- crease In thq demand for ordinary gro- cerles, so that all houses are now running thelr work late at night in order to fill orders. There 18 much speculation as to the re- sult of the efforts of managers of canning factories to push futures in canned good A few Baltimore packers have made prices, but the majority refuse to do this. Some business has becn done on the basis of las year's prices, but the packers of Indiana, | which state supplies a large part of the total output, probably will make a price b tents in advance of last season's figures. TO HEAR TRAINMEN MONDAY Prestdent Hurt Fixes Time for Con- ference with the Grievance Committee. President Burt bas set next Monday as time for his conference with the griev- ance committee of the Union Pacific train- men relating to their demand for a raise of wages of 20 per cent. The committeemen elghteen In number, will be here at that time, and they express every confidence that they will get what they ask This would seem to indieate that the | conterence with the strikers will not secure the attention of Mr. Burt till the week fol- lowing. Strike leaders apparently expect | the same thing, for it fs sald that Jobn McNell, president of the International Brotherhood of Boller Makers and Iren Shipbuilders, will not reach Ordaha till near the end of the Will Use Unlom Label. The Kirkendall Shoe company of this city has announced that from now on they will place the upion label on all goods turned out of taelr factory. The firm has always been considered “fair’ by the unions, but has never before taken ad- entered the service of tha | matter. LOBECK LOSES IN CONTEST Oounty Court Decides MoDonald Has Plarality of Thirty-Oue, FOUR HUNDRED BALLOTS THROWN OUT Because Clerks Signed Place of Judges ol Ballots in County Court that Electors Must Be Distranchised. About noon yesterday Judge Vinson- | { haler in county court declared Henry M- | | Donald, republican candidate, elected | | county commissioner from the Fifth com- | | missioner district by & plurality of 31 ov | C. 0. Lobeck, fusion candidate, the re- | spektive figures being 2423 to 2,362, Attor- | neys Bd P. Smith and L. J. Plattl, repre- senting Lobeck, immediately announced that an appeal will be taken and the bond was fixed at $200. The decision comes after a recount of the ballots, which leaves in the mind of Lobeck the unpleasant impression that had it mot been for irregularities in the official con- duet of two clerks of election, both demo- crats, ‘he would have had in this count a plurality over McDonald of 11. The irregu- laritles referred to resulted in the court throwing out 222 ballots manifestly intended for Lobeck and 180 manifestly intended for McDonald. The clerks Lobeck holds re- sponsible for defeat in this first round of the contest are P. H. Dalley of the Seventh precinct of the Sixth ward and M. E. Mor- | risey of the Fourth precinct of the Ninth ward. Where the Los Oceur, To explain more fully, it may be sald | that in the Seventh of the Sixth Lobeck | lost 72 and McDonald lost 41, or a net loss | of 31 for Lobeck, because Clerk Dailey had | exchanged places with Election Judge Mc- Govern because the latter was a better | penman. Dailey and one judge signed the | back of the ballots In question, and the | judge held this to be a violation of the | provision of the statutes which require each ballot to be signed by two judges. | | In the Tenth of the Sixth Clerk Tierney | signed instead of one of the judges, and | this resulted in a loss of 40 from McDonald | and 27 trom Lobeck. In the Fourth of the Ninth Clerk Morrisey signed for a judge and this cost Lobeck 123 and McDonald 99. Thus, under the ruling of Judge Vinson- baler, the three clerks, by undertaking duties of judges, have disfranchised 402 legal voters of the Fifth commissioner aistrict. Attorney Smith sald he would refrain from going over the ground again with Judge Vinscnhaler, but stated that he bel lieved the higher courts would take more into consideration the intept of the voter and that therefore the case would be ap- pealed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Domestic sizes of | anthracite coal were quoted at $10 a ton | at tidewater yesterday by the independent | operators. samo grades of eoal were quoted at $5. By the coai-carrying roads the Representatives of the big companies sald there was no decrease In the amount of their coal coming to this city, and that none of it was being sold as an independent output. 3 The market Is expected to fluctuate with the weather and the amount of anthracite on hand. If dealers are to buy their coal at two prices the cost to the consumer will be governed to a large extent by the pro- portion which the high-priced coal of the operators bears to that of the coal roads. Throughout the coal trade the opinion prevalls that the minimum price of $10 a ton, sald to ‘have been set by the Inde- pendent operators, must break before the end of the month, when the first produc- tion begins to tell. The open winter has helped to keep the situation in hand. BAER HAS TWO GRANDSONS President of the Reading Raflway Realizes the Supreme Desire of His Life. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.—George F.
