MRS. HORACE GKEELEY's DEATHBsD.-Mrs.
horace Greeley Il still alive, but gradually
sinking, On Saturday afternoon she allied for
few moments and spoke in a weak and sub
dued tone to those about her. A relapse followed
anC she then sank Tito a state of uncOnS ciOus-
ness. AT 10 o'clock last night her condition was
still unchanged, except that the dropsical svmp
toms had developed themselves on the lett side
OF the chest and between the shoulders On
Saturday night Mrs. Samuel Sinclair and Mrs
carver, widow Of a clergyman, relieved Aunty
LaInson and Miss Ida Greeley from watching
the snnerer, but last night they again sat at her
bedside, watching for a return to consciousness
or change for the worse. Mr.. Greeley is at his
wife's bedside night and day, and feels tina
hotbihg but some superhuman power can avert
her death within a few hours.-N T. SAM 2Stb
THE PENNSYLVANIA Coal TRApx-The
TOTAL production OF all kinds of coal for the
week was 5l5 ,09 tons and for the wear II 9S5 5G
tons, against 10 Sl5,1l tons to Corresponding
time last year, showing an increase OF 4 I22 O46
tons. Vessels are reported scarce and the de-
InaHu pressing. A further advance of freights
Is probable from the present outlook At this
centre the demand for anthracite has been good
during the past week, and there is bat little
coal Offering Tor shipment during the balance
OF this month There is much speculation as no
what prices will be for the incoming month
but the general expectation is that they will UNI
uergo little III any change, and certainly will be
no lower than at present.-P h7ldelpIid Ledger,
