23. Henry W. Grady is dead. Death came at 8:40 o'clock this morning. Its coming had been feared by those who had watched the case closely, but nobody expected it so soon.

The scene at his home during the last hours was most pathetic. It was shortly after eleven o'clock that Mr. Everett announced that Mr. Grady was sinking rapidly and that the end was near. Then it was that all the members of the family and relatives gathered about the sick bed hoping against hope, yet praying that HOUSE COMMITTEES.

B. Hamilton, of Meade, was In Topeka a few days ago, en route from the East The judge is president of the American Sugar Company which has recently been written up quite extensively in the newspapers in connection with its great scheme to build a Bug ar-mill in every township in Southwest Kansas- He admits, says a paper of that city, that two barrels of sugar were imported from Dodge City, and that it was mixed with the sugar made at the Mine-ola factory by the roasting process. He 6ay8 that the project to build a large number of sugar-mills was a bona fide enterprise, and that the company would have carried out their contract. The scheme has been so thoroughly aired that it is doubtful whether any thing more will come of it Judge Hamilton says he has great confidence in the roasting process which is being used at Mineola.

At 3:40 the sick man drew his last breath and the great heart was still. Mr. Grady was Atlanta's favorite citizen the center of its public and social affairs. Perhaps no other man holds such a peculiar place in the affections of a community as he held. The National attention which he attracted by his famous speech at the banquet of the New England Association, a few years ago, when, with unexpected eloquence, he voiced the Southern wish for National unity of spirit and purpose as well as of government, strengthened his hold upon the friendship of the neighbors who already knew and esteemed him.

Mr. Grady was a stout, black-haired, black-eyed man of thirty-nine, and could appear either fifteen or fifty. He was of an elastic temperament and believed in relaxation, worked like a Trojan and frolicked with the zest of a boy. When he got through with his mail in the morning he would come into the room where Wallace Keed, Joel Chandler Harris and the other members of the editorial force of the Constitution were engaged and break up their work for fifteen minutes. Sitting on Mr.

Harris' desk he would bring everybody around him aud the audience were regaled with jokes and a running satire on current events. The entertainment wound up with the suddenness of a company on double quick coming to a halt All at once Mr. Grady would put on a serious face and retire to his room, slamming the door behind him. With his stenographer, Jim an amiable young man built like a shoestring and capable of an amazing amount of good work Mr. Grady was closeted for an hour or so.

The amount of work he got through with in an hour was astonishing. In a few minutes he would lay fore conceived the idea of having them burned, and sure enough Baer's mill had such a rush of orders as it had never known before. Its rollers were running day and night, and still could not keep up with the demand. The incendiary fires had ceased to be talked about, when one day Frank Baer was arrested. Detectives had secured a confession from a prisoner in Uniontown jail, which disclosed the whole plot Baer had deliberately hired men to burn his rivals' mills, promising to pay them sums ranging up to SoOO for the job.

Letters and notes were produced as proof. Baer for a year past has been stubbornly fighting the case in the Westmoreland County courts. He has been twice tried, and each time the evidence was conclusive. His appeal for another trial was in vain, and yesterday Judge Hunter pronounced sentence. DECISIONS RENDERED.

The chief coal companies of Cherokee and Crawford counties aro the Kansas Texas and the Cherokee Pittsburg.

The first named operates six shafts located at Wier, Pittsburg and Litchfield, and employs 668 men, and tho latter has four shafts at Fronte-nac, with 832 men. It will be remembered that one of these, Frontenac shaft, was the scene of a frightful accident about a year ago. The Keith Perry and several other companies are operating shafts in this district, all of whom make vory full reports. Kleven companies report from Osage County, the next most extensive coal section of tho State, chief of which Is the Osage Carbon Company with mines located at Osage City, Scranton and- Peterton. This company employed a total of 930 hands and operated their shafts about 250 days during the year.
