Two Fifth Avenue Elevated electric trains in Brooklyn col- lided this morning. Two persons were probably fatally injured; more than qven- ty others were badly lnurt. Had the two ears that were de railed been pushed another foot they would have crashed into the street below. Uninjured passengers had a perilous walk along the ties in constant danger from the third rail. , Several women fainted on the _ tracks while walking to the sta tion. Not Far from Bridge. The collision occurred on the structure in Adams street, between Tillary and Concord streets, Dlocks from the Brooklyn end of the bridge.

THE PRESE) ATION HAS CONCLUSIVELY DEMONSTRATED THE IMMEDIATE AND URGENT NERD OF A GREATDR HARD-COAL PRODUCTION. -The smoke-laden condition of the country in general and the large cities in particular certainly affords sufficient proof of the scar- city of Anthracite Coal as well as the all-important fact that the demand now equals if it does not exceed the supply. The entire issue of stock could have been underwritten, but it is the object of MR. T, V. POWDERLY, the well-known labor leader, and recently United States Commissioner-General of Immigration, to present to the public for the first time in history an Anthracite Coal Company that Is strictly A PEOPLE'S CO-OPPRATIVE COMPANY, in which the people would at last have an opportunity to share in the VAST now going entirely into the pockets of the Coal Trust, THES AMOUNTED TO MORE THAN $80,000,000 LAST YEAR. POWDERLY has probably done more for the laboring classes than America, and his great popularity {s not to MR any other single individual be measured by the confines of any one particular district. He was the orlginal advocate of a system to unite all branches of labor in one compact body, and through his personal efforts the order known as the Knights of Labor was brought into world-wide prominence. In 1879 he was elected General Master Workman, and wes chosen nine times to the leadership of that powerful organization—a demonstration of cdnfidence unparalleled in the history of labor movements throughout the world, Under his administration the membership of the Knights of Labor insreased in one year from 80,000 to 700,00, and continued to climb upward } until 1,600,000 were enrolled under his leadership. It may truthfully be said. that his efforts in every direction haye been attended with similar | success, Mr, Powderly is « PRACTICAL COAT, MAN, and it would be impos- sible to place a more capable executive at the head of this company, To wive some idea of what an EXCRPTIONAL INVESTMENT ts offered, we cal) the attention of the public to the fact that the large coal companies, all of which have to lease their land and the minerals thereon, and in consequence PAY royalties of from 40 to 60 cents per ton to the land-owners, make a NET PROFIT OF $1.00 PER ‘TON, so that this Com- pany, with no royalties to pay, EARNS at least $1.01 per ton net (based on the normal price of coal), The operation of a l=vaker with a dally capacity of 1,000 tons, working 800 days, means a total shipment of 450,000 TONS A YEAR, which, figuring at a profit of only $1.00 PEAR TON, amounts \to a total profit of 45 PER CENT, ANNUALLY on the capital stock of the Company. Working but 200 days at full capacity enables the Company TO DIVLDE among its stockholders 80 PER CENT. PER ANNUM, Profits to be divided quarterly. A SMALL ALLOTMENT of stock 1s now offered for puke subserip- tion AT 75 CENTS F SHARD for the purpose of seouring additional working capital, Iimediately upon the sale of this special allotment the | stock will advance to $1,00 pér share, SEND FOR FULL PARTICULARS AND DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY AND ITS PROVERTY.
