WASHINGTON COAL DEALERS.
The Break in the Combination-Howi it Affects
Retail Dealers.

The great break in the coal combination has
not yet had any effect upon the retail prices of
coal in this city, and dealers say that it prob
ably will not make any considerable difference.
The monthly schedules of prices upon the new
basis, which are to be made up by the great
companies. for September l, are expected to
arrive in this city to-day, when the dealers will
determine upon the retail prices. Dealers who
have ordered large shipments of coal from COM
panies in the combination upon the assurance
that there would be no break or other change
in the prices except the regular advance made
from month to month as the winter advances,
will suffer some loss. The dealers have had
great cause to complain of the way in which the
coal companies have shirked all the response
bilities arising in the course of trade.
Among the conditions Of sale and shipment
prescribed by the combination companies is the
following: "Reasonable exertions will be made
by the company to fulfill its contracts for the
delivery of coal; but if at any time the opera
tiops or business of the company at the mines,
or On its railroad or canal, shall be interrupted
by floods, breaks, accidents, or by combina-
tions, turnouts or strikes among the miners,
boatmen or other employees, either for an in
crease OF wages or on account of q reduction
thereof, or for any other cause, or by casualties
of any kind, the obligations Of the company to
deliver coal under its contracts and agreements
may, at its option, be Cancelled to the extent of
the average daily quantity the purchasers
would be entitled to receive under their con-
tracts or agreements during the period of such
interruption; and the company shall not be
liable for damages by reason of such non
delivery, or for demurrage Of vessels or other
wise"
According to the conditions the company is
relieved OF any of the responsibility, and when
dealer has ordered a cargo of coal, he has
never been able to calculate when the cargo
would be delivered. Serious delays ami en-
barrassments in trade have thus been caused.
The retail coal trade is turned into an uncer-
tain speculation, because when the dealer re-
ceives an order from a customer, to be deliy-
cred at the then current prices, he has to wait
sometimes several months before his order to
the company is fulfilled, and has to pay the
current prices at the time of delivery.

Raliahla Insurance.

The question is often forwarded to US as to
whether our home insurance companies stand
on as good a footing and hold out the same
liberal inducements to those desiring to insure
as Eastern and foreign companies. For the
benefit of those parties we would state that
several of our leading home companies more
than favorably compare with the latter, as for
instance the Arlington Fire Insurance Company
for the District of Columbia, who possess a
paid-up capital of $500, 200, are strictly prompt
in paying losses, and insure real estate or per-
sonal property at very low rates. This is de-
cidedly one Of the best-managed companies in
the District of Columbia. The office is located
at No. 1865 Pennsylvania avenue, north of the
United States Treasury, where all applications
for policies will receive immediate attention.

a Nav Mustard Plaster.

The medical value of mustard plaster is
understood in every family. Much time is
spent in preparing a poultice,. and often the
mustard is of poor quality and will not act,
causing great suffering. This trying incon-
>nience is now perfectly overcome by Benson's
Prepared Mustard Plaster. 1t is q great i'm
provement on the ordinary article. It is very
clean, and can be applied and removed without
discoloring the clothing or soiling the skin.
1t does not deteriorate with age. 1t is always
reliable, as only the best quality Of mustard is
used in its preparation. 1t is ready for use at
any moment by simply dipping 1t in water.
It is sold in half yard pieces, at IS cents per
roll, by all druggists. Sent by mail, on re-
ceipt Of price, by

A Gipsy Fight.

A number of gipsies gathered at a restaurant
on Ninth street, by the Centre market, yes
terday afternoon, and, after some drinking, a
general fight was inaugurated, in which some
outsiders took part. The gypsy horse-dealers
were large, brawny men, and the battle might
haveturned out quite seriously had not the police
interfered. Three of the wanderers, all of the
Harrison family, and named Valentine, John
and Richard, were captured by Officers Block
and Longstreet and locked up in the Filth pre-
cinct station. Later in the day other .dusky
nomads, in tumble-dow wagons and buggies,
kept rattling up to the station and exhibiting
large rolls Of money, trying to get the prison
ers released.

A FRUITLEss HUNT,
Tracking a Rssurrectionists Wagon.

Tracking Resurrectionisrs Wagon.
Considerable time was wasted last night by
several policemen and local reporters in
chasing an igRis .ta!uiIs, in the shape of a
wagon loaded with "stiffs" and driven through
the streets by three colored resurTectionists.
About 10 O'Clock a man, with hardly breath
enough to tell his story, rushed into the Sixth
precinct station, and said that a wagon load
of dead persons had broken down on Eighth
street, at Mount Vernon place; that he had
first seen the wagon in the neighborhood of
Sixth and P streets, where one of the colored
men asked another if everything was all right,
and upon receiving an affirmative answer
started up the horse; that he had followed
them through alleys and obscure ways to the
point where the wagon broke down, when he
was discovered by one of the negroes, who
flashed what appeared to be razor in the
moonlight, and threatened to cut his heart
out, upon which he had retired with agility
anu made his way to the station-house.
He added that he was down on resurrec-
tionists, as the body of his father-in-laW had
been stolen from the grave. His story started
the police after the suspicious wagon. A place
where it was discovered that the wagon had
stopped was searched diligently, and no one
found dead or alive. Other places were
searched, but not a single corpse was found,
much to the disgust of some local reporters,
who were tracking the wagon around in the
hopes of laying a sensational item before the
public. The wagon was overhauled at the
corner of Eighth and G streets northwest by
Officer Dunnigan, and had at that time only
one occupant, named Roy Carter. The wagon
was covered one, such as is used by grocers
in delivering goods, and it was in terribly
dilapidated condition. One of the wheels had
caved in at the hub, and the old horse looked
thoroughly tired and disgusted with his nights
tramp.
Roy and his conveyance were taken to the
Fifth precinct station, where they were thor
oughly overhauled. The fact that the bottom
OF Roy's trousers and his bare feet were stained
with clay were set down Immediately as suspi-
cious circumstances, and eager reporters
shifted about the wagon and swore that they
could detect traces of its recent load. Two
empty bags were found in the wagon, and the
police, who knew Roy Carter of old, came to
the conclusion that he and his colored friends
had been on an innocent thieving expedition
through the alleys of the northern part of the
city, and had been interrupted by the inquisi-
tiveness of the man who took them for resur-
rectOnists.
There being nothing for which to hold Roy,
he was discharged from custody, and as his
old horse moved off he called back that he
wouldn't 20 into graveyard for thousand
dollars-"I'se don't like them kind of people"
