The ADVANCE IN COAL.-The circular Of the
NIlkesbarre Coal and Iron company for Nav
shows an advance of 10 cents ton on present
rates. This is in accordance with an arrange
ment made between the companies in their
meeting OF January 16, when they formed a
combination for the purpose of protecting
themselves against the excessively low prices Of
49,. They agreed that an average OF 50 a ton
Tor the year would give fair profit, and deter
mined TO maintain that price by curtailing pro-
duction If necessary. In 49, the avera &c price
was $3.50 per ton, and the companies say that
as result of this they lost money. This year
the prices began on a basis Of Si.50, and they
will be advanced 10 cents each month on each
size. The companies say that the sooner buyers
convince themselves that this programme is to
be carried out the better il will be for them as
the combination is bound to hold firm. Fret ghts
are cheap now, but will advance with the sea-
son. The coal famine IN England is causin,- a
considerable export of anthracite from this
country.-N. i. World.

NEW YORK CITY.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1G.-The Times says
Father O'Farrel, pastor Of St. Peters
church, informed his parishioners Sunday
lastth he wished 10 retract anything
dictatorial he may have said to them dur.
ing his canvass Of the parish for pupils
for his new parochial school, and adds
that this action on the part of Rev.
O'Farrel Is said to have been the result oi
an intimation from the authorities Of the
Catholic Church that the extreme meas
ures resorted to by him were not approv.
ed. The Commissioners Of Education
have taken an intense interest 10 the al
fairs Of the 1st Ward Public School, the
existence OF which has been threatened
by the clergy of st. Peters church, and
have expressed their firm intention 10
uphold In the Ward, at all hazards, the
system Of public school instruction which
have been so pcrsistently assailed.
In the Supreme Court to-day Judge
Daniels gave decision In the suit OF
Samuel 7. Dinsmore, stock holder ts.
Atlantic s. Pacific Railroad Co, denying
the motion 10 continue the injunction res
training the defendants from paying rents
received on lease made 10 1t by the Pacific
Railroad Company Of Missouri. The rent
Is payable Tor the use Of the railroad con-
structed by lessees and five other railroads
previously leased to the South Pacific
Railroad Company. The rent for all Of
these railroads Is a lump sum though the
lease of these five roads seems void.
Judge Daniels sees no reason for granting
the motion and interfering for the rent

suit, and neither directly or indirectly be.

Bench was opened yesterday. In the
trial Of the American prisoners charged
with kidnapping Gordon, tho Judgein his

the Board Of Trade were startled and
shocked on gathering in their Chamber

Mr.. CASTOR on the Prohibitory Liq.
..u.. nor Law.


BosToN, Sept. 1G.-Ex.Mayor CASTOR,
In q letter formally accepting the Demo-
cratic nomination Tor Governor, thus al
ludes to The prohibitory liquor law: "At
the time when the State Is suffering re-
proach for partial and dishonest enforce.
ment Of some Of its laws, It becomes our
immediate duty to execute such laws
with honesty and impartiality, or to re-
peal such statutes as cannot be thus en-.
forced. An experience Of twenty years
under what are known as prohibitory laws
has proved that they cannot accomplish
tho great and beneficial purposes for
which they were enacted. They
have not diminished the great evils
which they were designed to destroy; but
they have brought with them, or with
the attempts 10 destroy them, train Of
attendant evils which have disgraced the
administration Of Justice, and have tended
to corrupt the public morals. Some
other method Of promoting the cause OF
temperance should at least be tried. This
cause is too high and noble In It's charac-
ter and in It's purpose 10 attempt 10 bor-
row any aid from injustice, partially or
corruption, and ] believe that legislation
can be made to assist those who arc by
honest and earnest efforts seeking 10 ex-
tend It's benetlcient influences"

HAVANA.
The Recent Disastrous Fire-.The
E3urning of the Plaza del yap0riza.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-A letter from
Havana giving an account Of the recent
great fire there, says, the Locau Market
or Plaza del Vaporizs, an extensive build
ing Of masonry, fronting on the square
about 600 feet on each side, and two sto-
ries high, was built In 1887, for the gen.
eral purpose OF market and commerce.
The court was filled with booths, wooden
sheds and other buildings occupied by
hucksters, and butchers; while the corner
floors OF the three sides OF the building
comprised q variety Of shops and stores
OF all descriptions, and in tho upper sto-
ries lived the families Of those who had
their business and callings In the shops
and stands Of the Plaza. Under the
arches OF the colonada which surmounted
building were stands OF silver plated
showcases OF vendcrs oi all varieties OF
dry goods, diamonds, jewelry Of all dis
criptions, fine and bogus, shoes, fancy
goods, ready made clothing. cigars, cut.
lery, queensware, lottery tickets, in fact
about everything immaginable In the way
o: trade. Over two thousand persons
lived within Its precincts, and without es.
timatipg the value Of the building and It's
lucrative rental, the value Of the goods
1t contained is set down at 5000, 600.
The fire was discovered shortly after mid.
night in one of the bodegas, and then 1t
spread to the dry good store adjoining.
Such was the rapidity with which 1t
spread that two Of the clerks who slept
over the latter store were unable other
wise to escape, and threw themselves
from the balcony, receiving injuries from
which one has since died. The fire rap
idly spread both right and left, and at half.
past one the flames cnveloped both sides
Of the building, and by four, or within
four hours, nothing renamed OF the i'm.
mense interests represented In Plaza Del
Vaporizs but the standing blackened
walls. Since the fire subsidized parts Of
the walls have fallen and inflicted death
and serious injuries. The actual loas Of
life Is not known, but it Is variously es-
timatcd at from twenty to tifty. while the
police reports only give seven. The loss
Of property has been variously estimated,
the lowest putting 1t AT SS,00Q,0O0.
HAVANA, Sept, 16-No violent demon.
strations have been made since the shoot.
ing Of Colonel Uscatazni and Senior Ber-
nudes on the 20 ol August, but almost
nightly there are reports of the uprising
Of an intended attack by negroes outside
Of the city, all Of whom are opposed to
the existing Government, which IS re-
garded as very weak.
