Helena, Ar kansas, the DartIcuIars a
desperate affair In that vicinity. Deputy Sheriff
j. W. Maley, with posse. surrounded The
cabin OF notorious negro named Lee Morri-

capped 10 the PILLS, where he had been a error
10 all white and black people. No sooner had

TIE Coal TRADE- The market is very
firm, but there is less disposition to buy except
tor immediate delivery, while the shippers are
only willing TO sell at advanced prices. The
lack of desire 10 sell arises partly from the
proximity OF the Scranton sale, which tak-s
place on Wednesday, and at which higher
prlcss are eIpected- and partly To the supposi-
tlon that the miners viii demand an advance
OF wages about the first of October.
Freights continue stif, but with a supply Of
vessels fully equal 10 the demand. The in
creased rate Of freight TO Boston will undou bt-
edly tend 70 materially advance prices at New
York. both AZ public and private sale, as
frsights have not risen there in relative pro-
portion 10 those at this point. There Is a
steady increase of tonnage over last year. and IL
is not otImprobable there Will be nearly a million
more tons produc~ q, provided there is no
further trouble al the mines, which amount
will not more than meet the legitimate demand
