Cokcworkcrs' Wages Advanced. CONXKI.LSVILLK, Pa., April 2.—Beginning yesterday all the coke operators in the ConneJlsvillc region will pay their men the if per cent, advance announced by the Frick company a couple of Aveeks ago. A canvass of the whole region failed to develop a single operator who will refuse1 to pa.y the new rates. The fact that not more than half of them posted any notice of the new scale led to the belief among the miners and cokers that their employers would refuse to advance wages until they had disposed of their low priced coke contracts.

GEN. OLIVER P. GOODING INSANE. Too Dangerous to 15e at Large and Will lie Confined at St. Klizabeth.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—A jury empanelled by Marshal Wilson of the District ol' Columbia to inquire into the sanity of General Oliver P. Gooding, after a hearing yesterday, pronounced him insane. He will be taken, into custody and confined at St. Elizabeth. General Gooding is a West Point graduate and went into the war as a colonel of a Massachusetts regiment, rising to the ranks of brigadier goneral. He afterwards went to Indiana and later to St. Louis. He was once police commissioner oi St. Louis, and came near being nominated tor governor of Missouri. He was engaged in political campaign work for several years, but lately has been pursuing a course which indicated insanity. He was a candidate for any vacancy in the army which would give hinL a brigadier's commissi in.

In he published a book, in which he detailed a conspiracy against his life. In this book he praised the president very much. In a second edition a threaten!!!.'. tone was assumed toward the president, who it asserted was the head of the conspiracy against the writer's life. When this book made its appearance this chief of police brought the action which resulted in the examination and verdict. Several experts in insanity cases were examined and all pronounced him insane.. Some of the p!iysici..ns had made an examination of C-oodii: and said iris inn:-icy was upon the sole subject of the conspiracy. His latest book indicates a disposition to reI move the president-. The only question being as to the wickedness*of the act should violence be used. The police considered Coodlng in his present condition a very dangerous man to be abroad.

Surprised.

Many people were suprised to see the Troy Steain Laundry wagon out the other day loaded to the guards, but that's the way we do business now. The more we get the more we want, and if good work is what the people want we will have all the work in Greenfield before another month. Our prices remain the same as of old, and the masses think that "the laborer is worthy of his hire," and consequently give us their work in prelerence to cheap, half-done work.

Attempted ltobbery.

Miss Ballard living on S. State St., who works at the paper mill, drew £24 00 Monday and last night she and lier mother and sister were counting it over. It is supposed some one saw them through the window and later tried to get through a window to secure tha money. In his attempt a stick was knocked down which aroused the womeii and they at once gave an alarm which scai'ed the thief away. It was midnight just as he ran away, as the electric lights went out. Night watchman Dudding and Johnson being informed, kept a close watch in that part the rest of the night. the citi-
