TIE COAL COMBINATION STILL OPRRAT-
TNG-AnOthey AdroRce in Prioes.-The regular
monthly sale Of Scranton at auction by John H.
Draper & Co. took place to-day at the sales-
room, Exchange place, and attracted more than
ordinary interest from the fact that these sales
may be regarded as an indication Of the opera
tons Of the "cosl monopoly" whose intention
was understood TO be to raise the price of coal
at intervals until it obtained what they consid-
cred a fair price. There was not much excite
ment to-day; the attendance was unusually
large, and that there was TO be an advance upo1
last months rates seemed TO be generally err
pected; the advance, however, was not so great
as was expected. There was not much compo-
tition, indeed three kinds of coal was all sold at
the starting price, and the sales were so rapid
that ninety thousand tons were disposed OF in
less than half an hour. The average rise Is: on
crate, &C.; egg, SAC; stove, 2Kc., aud chestnut,

The HAGRRsrowN EsrfaA-
TON BY CoRONKR'e JURT.-A correspondent
OF the altimore American, writing from Ha-
gerstown, August 2tn, says Since Monday
afternoon rumor, with her thousand tongues,
has been busy among this community with al,
incident which occurred on that dav. IL seems
that some ten days ago a Miss Louisa Ross a
daughter Of james Ross, who resides about a
mile and a half from Beaver creek, in this
county, left home, stating that she was going 20
see DIR. Fleming, who resides in Ieitersburg, and
nothing more was heard of her until she was
found in an assignstion house in his town. She
remained there several DAYS, complaining OF
having chills and fever. and on Monday AFTER
noon, at O'Clock, she died. The coroner, Mr..
Jacob A. Wright, was notified, there being ru-
mors that the girls death was caused by an at
tempt 70 procure an abortion, and summoned a
jury OF inquest, and also had a post mortem ex-
animation made by Drs. G. b. Boyle and VIM.
Ragan. The jury have held two meetings, aud
Will meet again at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing. A number OF witnesses have been ex-
amined before them, but no evidence has been
ELECTED 70 show that the rumor referred 10 above
was correct. There will be about twenty or
twenty-five witnesses examined to morrow that
number having been summoned. The physi-
clans who made the post norton examination
have not yet reported, but will do 50 tomorrow
after they have been put in possession of certain
facts which will enable them 70 arrive at a con-
clusion as to the cause of death with greater
certainty. Should the verdict OF the coroner's
jury duplicate any one, they will be promptly
arrested, and 1T is believed that the law will be
rigidly enforced.

NEW YORK DRY GooDs MARKETING brisk
movement which WAS inaugurated early in the
month, was fully sustained during the past
week, and the manufacturers agents were yen-
orally well employed with buyers from the west
southwest and south, whose operations were ex-
ceptionably liberal. Cotton Goods-There has
been spirited demand for all descriptions OF
goods suitable 70 the coming season, and tho
supply OF many prominent makes has been in-
sufhclent TO meet the current demand, which,
moreover, has been of a strictly legitimate
character, and unaided by speculation. II has
rarely been the case that on the opening of an
active season stocks have been found So low az
they now are, and under these circumstances
prices have ruled exceptionally strong. Wooden
Goods.-The demand was irregular during the
week, and was checked somewhat by the un-
propiuous weather; yet fiannels and blankets
were IN spirited request, and fancy cassimeres,
although quiet at times, were largely distrib-
uted, and black beavers and repelents were
quite brisk. Jeans and satinets were taken
more freely, but the ruling prices continued
low and unremunerative. IL appears by the
OF silk were actually imported to an amount in
excess OF last year, while the market is posi-
lively glutted with such fabrics, which are al
ready being forced into the auction rooms in
large quantities. Under these circumstances IL
is not TO be wondered at that silk goods have
been so long Improbable, and il this course of
oyer-importation is persisted in, the demoral-
lzation of the market, which was such a prom
lnent feature of the spring trade, must con-
unue.-N. y. DAILY BuUetin.

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA
An Old.fdshiOned Joint DiScusSiOn.-There was
an old-fashioned political discussion at Warren
ton, Va, on Monday, in which the leading can
didates for the coming state election took part
Gen. kemper, the conservative candidate for
governor, and Col. Robert Hughes, his oppo-
nent, "broke lances' with one another, Col.
Hughes making the attack. L. II. Chandler, a
we'll known republican stump speaker, fol-
lowed, and was replied to by Col. X. f. withers,
the conservative candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. Gen. Kemper reviewed the record of
+ Col Hughes as an editor of the Richmond Ex-
aminer during the war, when the bitterest lam
guage was used against the union and the re-
publcans, and since the war when Hughes was
democrat, and more latterly as a republican
siding with the wretches who had 'relieye the
state Of all it had !" and sought to resume their
piratical sway. Col. Chandler, in his speech
gloried in being carpet-bagger. Col. Withers
made speech in general opposition to selling
the state out to the republicans. In answer to a
query by Mr.. Chandler whether he approved
all the sentiments of JEFF. Davis at the southern
historical convention, Col. Withers replied that
he did not. The meeting passed Off quietly and
only once, when Mr.. Chandler denounced as a
rascal Gen. d. II. Hill, who had him arrested
during the war, some one in the audience arose
and pronounced the speaker "a id liar, )" and
avowed his responsibility for what he said Or
der was soon restored, however.

devotes another article 10 the oGoodricb', mvso
terry, in the course OF which We are told: a0ne
whe is well acquainted with police matters, but
Is himself outside the department, furnishes an
interesting and important bit of information re-
garding the early life of Kate Stoddard, which
may serve as clue 70 the murder. This per-
son states that when she was known by her true
name, Betsey King, she went to q school where
there were four young Spaniards and that one
OF them was called Roscoe. She was attached
to the young man, and before she disappeared
from per parents abode, was regarded as his
betrothed. She is said TO have renewed this
acquaintance afterwards in New York, and this
too, at the time vixen Charles Goodrich an
peared upon the scene. This Roscoe is proba-
bly, the one to whom Lucette Myers points as
the one who killed Goodrich for robbing him OF
the affections OF Kate Stoddsrd. This NAV be
the man whom Commissioner Jourdan Is

ARSON AND Loss OF LIFR-A horrible accu-

Louisville, KY, Charles and Thomas Cook by
name, who have been arrested on the charge Of
nring, on the morning OF the 22d Instant the
house OF one Squire Willis, living with his wife

and causing the death OF Mrs. Willis and the
