Coal News,


locality in the Anthracite Coal re-
gions has brighter future in pros
pect. The Glcnwool Coal Co. has
already commenced work on their
new breaker near the depot, and
! Messrs. Shii1er, Lococ and others,
have broken ground to develop the
best coal lands ever opened in this
. county. The former company OK
( pect to complete their work bv the
early part Of April, intending to en-
ploy as large force Of workmen as
can be employed to advantage.
The present outlook, Tin view of the
| improvements meditated,) promises
for SpriAgbrook the existence of a
city at no distant day. The Penna.
Coal Co. are also about to sink a
shaft near here, and will commence
operations very soon.'
For week or two past the ship
ments Of coal by the canal have been
light, owing to scarcity of schoon-
ers at Georgetown and Alexandria,
for the transhipnent of cargocs to
Northern ports. The Washington
S,ar, of Saturday, states that there
was not then single sailing vessel
in port, while the wharves were
piled high with coal awaiting ship
ment, and many loaded boats were
lying in the canal and could not be
unloadcd until some arrangements
are made for the disposal of their
cargocs .-Alegapian.
Hammctt, Ncill & Co.'S Circular
of the 1i.h says:
The trade during the week has
been dull and heavy, and prices at
tide-water are barely maintained.
Private sales have been made be-
low the current quotations, and in
New York cargocs ahoat have been
sold at an abatement Of one dollar
per tx. below the extreme rates,
asked ten days ago.
Dealers are holding back, not so
much with view of reducing prices
as to rid themselves of the coal
bought during September.
The moderate weather has seri-
ously checked the retail demand at
all points, which during the last
part of September had become ex-
cessivc.
Coal is accommodating at shipping
points, but the stocks still remain
light.
Vessels continue in abundant sup
ply, and rates both to New York
and Eastern ports are firm at our
quotations.

The Pottsvillc { Pa Journal says:
"All parties concerned, miners,
Iaborers and operators cannot be
too particular in the preparation of
the coal, as sometimes even one or
two cargoes ofpoor coal will drprcss
an otherwise good market"

HARTFORD INSURANCE Losses AND
PRoFIrs. Hartford Conn letter
writer says: "Many instances have
come to my knowledge where peo-
pie in humble circumstances have
lost their all by the failure of the
companies that have gone under.
In one instance a milliner in this
city had put every cent she could
save for years into stock, but now
her entire $4,000 of savings is
gone. And our most conservative
and careful business men are among
the heaviest losers" It is explain
cd that the Hartford insurance inter-
est has been for years one of the
most prosperous and profitable, as
an illustration of which it is stated
that Gin recent law suit it became
necessary to determine the present
value of $265 of stock in the Hart
ford Fire Insurance Company, which
was alleged to have been misappro-
pSiatcd in 1851, twenty years ago.
A careful computation by the refer
ecs Of the value Of the stock, with
all the dividends that have been
paid to date at compound interest,
showed the enormous accumulation
of 81. 0OO -

WHERE THE Loss FALLs.-Thc loss
by the Chicago fire, immense as it is
comes down as the facts are known.
One hundred and fifty millions is as
high as it is now put by those who
arrive at conclusion from a calm
survey and diligent inquiry. OF
this amount, however, probably not
quarter falls on Chicago. New
York is by far the greater sufferer
of all. Between eighty and one
hundred millions in money will flow
into Chicago in a steady stream to
rebuild the city and New York
and other cities are again "scttil q
up" Chicago in business as rapidly
as possiblc-a fact which amounts
to a tribute Of which she has every
reason to feel proud.

hatred in Kisses, wells and threats,

The Union aud American has con-
densed the facts in regard to the fall
elections. The first elections to come
off this fall are those Of California and
Vermont, on the first Tuesday in Sep
TENDER. In these States a Governor
and Legislature are to be elected. In
California the Radical nominee lBoothel
is unpopular with his own party, and II
there was any danger before, this as
sures the reelection of Governor Haight.
The Democrats are also confident that
they win carry the Legislature. The
Radicals viii, of course, carry Vermont.
On the second Monday in September
Maine holds her election for Governor
and other State officers The election
there will be warmly contested, and il is
strongly hoped the Radical majority
there viii be largely reduced. Governor
Davis has ordered an election in Texas
for four Representatives in Congress,
commencing Tuesday, October Sd. Next
come the elections in the great States OF
Ohio, Pennsylvania aud Iowa, all voting
on the second Tuesday in October. A
great deal of interest centers upon Ohio,
where. in addition to the election of a
Governor aud other State officers, new
Legislature will be chosen, which will
elect successor TO the Hon. John Sher-
man in the United States Senate. A Wig
orous canvass is being made by the can
didates of the two parties, and the
Democrats are sanguine of carrying the
election. The Radical situation there
is considerably mixed. John Sherman
and Columbus Delano, and probably
Minister Schenck, Governor Hayes and
Ben. Wade are candidates for the Sen
ate. This viii create more or less
division in the local politics, which will
rebound to the advantage Of the Demo
Gratis. In Pennsylvania the canvass is
being vigorously prosecuted, and every
thing at present indicates that the
Democrats will carry the State by a
handsome majority. Elections will be
held in Massachusetts,, New Jersey and
Wisconsin on Tuesday, November 9TH,
when State officers and members of the
Legislature will be chosen. A Congress
man for the State at large is to be
elected in Illinois, to I'LL the vacancy
caused by the election of General Logan
to the United States Senate, but we be-
lieve the time has not yet been fixed.

RADICAL ExrRAyAaAHcE.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: The
war was ended six years ago, yet the
Government at Washington is still
spending over four hundred millions a
year. Such frightful extravaganza as
this vast expenditure implies never lacks
apologists-apologists corrupt; apollo
gists plausible; apologists shrewd; apollo
gists even talented. To have hand in
snch colossal expenditures is temptation
to the soberest of wisdom and the keen
est Of wit; and it therefore does not fol-
low because we see certain respectable
names identified with this unbounded
recklessness that it is commendable, or
even justifable. The people must look
