BRHAK or rHE COAL COMBINA-
~ ETIOM.


The combinstion existing between
the Pennsylvania coal companies has
been broken up. Two weeks ago the
Lehigh Valley and the Phila-
delphia and Reading companies
we're disposed to cut loose,
but finally agreed to remain in the COM
bination. But it was soon found that
some of the parties 10 it had begun un-
dercutting in prices again, and the others
were obliged to follow. This led to the
call for meeting of the board OF control
and it resulted yesterday in breaking up
the combination on the ground that the
Lehigh had violated the compact.
All the companies have heavy
stocks on hand, and sales have
been slow. 1t is now reported that
there will be a sale of FIVE hundred thou
sand tons on Tuesday next, and the
opinion is expressed that it will bring
prices down from one dollar TO one dol
lar and q half ton. The announce
ment of the bresk is causing considera.
BILE excitement among tho Pennsylvania
miners, as they have latterly been max
ing only one-half to one-third time, and
they fear that decline in the price of
coal will lead to corresponding reduc-
ton in their wages. 1t remains to be
seen what will be the final effect upon
the smaller companies and operators
whether or bot the greater ones will at
tempt their humiliation and intimate
monopoly for themselves.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE LATE
SPEAKER KERR.

President GRANT has issued an execu-
tive order officially announcing to the
people of the United States the death of
the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, the Hon. MICHAEL G. KERR, and
inviting them to solemn recognition of
the public and private worth and the SER
vices of a pure and eminent character.
The praise accorded by the President TO
the late Speaker of the House Is just,
whilst the language IN which 1t is ex-
pressed is as credtable to the President
Is it IS honorable TO him whose recent
death has elected this testimonial to the
many fine qualities of mind and heart
that won the esteem of all who knew
MIN, without distinction of party.

1T is wonderful to note the unanimity
OF the Radical press as to the phenome-
nal revival Of business, and the return of
good times as the election approaches.
But then the Sheriffs returns and the re.
ports of the Secretaries OF the Poor
Boards in the same papers cast shade
OF suspicion upon the genuineness of the
discovery.

ELECTION ECHOES.

Hon the Buckeyes and Hoosiers Wal Go.
New York, Oct Public interest
in the Ohio and Indiana elections is in
tense, and speculations regarding the
result are general. The SUMS
indianapolis correspondent thinks
the Democrats will carry Indiana, but
comedies Ohio to the Republicans.
Carl Schurz tells another correspon-
dent that Indiana will elect a Repub-
lican governor by over 1000; also, that
the reported German detection in Ohio
has been exaggerated, aud that the lat
ter state is sure for over 5000 Republic
can majority.
The Times special at indianapolis, a
usually accurate observer and success
full forecaster of election results, pre-
diets decided Republican triumph.
Hon, Eugene Hale, who has just can
vassed the state with Gen. Harrison.
says he will stake his reputation as a
prophet on prediction Of Republican
success.
The Cincinnati Commercial antici-
pates Is, 900, and would not be sur
prised at 20, 900 Republican majority III
Ohio. 1t bases this calculation on the
imitation vote, which went to Allen last
year, and which careful canvass shows
will now return to the Republican
faith.
Secretary Apgar, of the Democratic
State committee, recently publicly in
timted that canvass of New York
State indicated larger Democratic ma
jority than has been given to ,either
party in ten years. Secretary Glidden.
of the Republican State committee, re-
plies. characterising Apgar's statement
as valueless, because general, indefi-
mite and intangiable, and says that
he has eyidcnce that they are incorrect;
that the Committee receives daily intel
ligence of large Republican gains, and
that they learn of two additions to the
Republican ranks for each desertion, in
many sections where Democratic gains
are claimed. The news received at the
National Republican Committees head
quarters, from b,th OHIO and Indiana
has been uniformly encouraging for ten
days.

WASHINGTON.
Ho,c the Democrats Intend Plunging the
sf Country into Debt.

Hosp the Democrats Intend Plunging the
Country into Debt.
Washington, Oct. 7.-Studious en-
deav0rs have been made to mislead the
public Us to the amount of claims which
were introduced in the House Of Rep
resentatives last winter. Democratic
speakers maintain that no considera-
BILE number of claims WIS passed. This
is so, but it was an electioneering trick.
These bills were purposely and avowedly
withheld until after the presidential
campaign. The official books Of the
House have not been accessible to Re
publicans, but from advance sheets of
the Congressional Record of the session
it is now possible to give the number
and amount of these claims definitely.
The result is astounding. The total
sum proposed to be appropriated is
Sax, 600 more than our entire national
debt, and amounts to $l,5J3, ,622, 1856.
This was done at the first session Of the
present Congress.
Toe classification Is as follows: Re-
building levees on the Mississippi river
$5,25J, 900; rebuilding bridges in West
Virginia, 500, 900; reprisal cotton tax,
S6SO, ,072 90. supplies used or destroyed
81, 205, 163, 90; use and occupation Of
property, 81, ,20j, 163, 90; return OF pro-
ceeds OF captured property, 50, 9,000, 900;
refundment and remission of direct tax
$5, ,154, 600; disloyal mail contractors,

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Political Chaos Aya;s.

Charleston, Oct. THE News and
Courier correspondent telegraphed last
night from Columbia that the report of
the deputy Marshals sent to investigate
the recent collision between whites and
blacks at Ellenton has led Gov. Cham
berlain to the determination to issue Il
proclamation ordering all white military
clubs or organizations to surrender
their arms and disband at once. In
case of their refusing SO to do he will
next proclaim the county to be in con-
dition OF domestic violence and will in
form President Grant tn that effect and
call upon him to suppress it.
The correspondent also states that
Elliott, Cardozo, Dunn, Rainey, Stokes,
j. B. johnson and Gleanes. of the Re
publican executive committee, have is
sued an address to the people Of the
United States similar to their Hamburg
address. and purporting to give cor
rect statement of the position OF affairs
here. 1t sets forth the claims Of the
Republican party Of South Carolina up
on the support of the people of the
United States, reaffirms the charges
against the white people of intimida-
tion, prescription, etc, and appeals to
the great American people tor their
sympathy and support. They are pow
erless, they say, to defend themselves
against the aggressions of their enemies,
and powerless to protect their persons
and property. They appeal in conclu-
sion to the general government to res
cue them from the hands of the very
men who are again seeking to. sap its
foundations by new modes Of attack.

While Crooks column was engaged
In the perilous work of dislodging the
savages from the 'slava bedn near
Slim Buttes, Baptiste Fourier perform
cd an act Of thrilling daring. Crawl
ing up the narrow. oozy bottom. while
his comrades were firing over his head,
he drew himself close to breastwork
Of mud on the other side Of which lay
an Indian buck with cooked rifle. The
Indian rose to fire into the crowd who
were blazing away at him, and before
he had subsidized was struck dead by a
bullet. Baptiste peered over the breast
works. and an Indian higher up the ra-
vine, behind another breastwork. lev
eled his rifle with deadly aim at his
head. Just when it might have been
expected that the dusky figure was
pulling the trigger, the red d-headed Bap-
tiste lodged and the bullet whistled
past him. In an instant more he had
scalped the dead Indian, who lay be-
fore him. and whirling the bloody hair
over his head, was performing half
squatting war dance between the muz-
zles Of the guns pointed inward and the
savages lying among their squaws and
papooses who were grimly counting the
cost Of their lives. Blptiste found him
s-lf suddenly encompassed by the arms
Of squaw and her boy, who begged
him not to kill them, and he pushed
them roughly out of the hell before him.
In pressing the desperate savages back
toward the head of the ravine the be-
siegers climbed up the steep bank,
which enclosed the little valley on one
side, and over its edge they endeavored
to catch glimpse of the bucks who lay
under the shrubbery.
A scout known as Buffalo White. who
has long been a friend, an ardent ad-
dent admirer of Buffalo Bill. was one of
the most eager and daring Of those who
ventured to wait for an opportunity to
fire. Suddenly, ami6 the roar Of rites,
sharp thud was heard by those next
to White, and the blood spurted from
his breast. He fell backward, with the
cry, "Oh, God, boysl Oh, Godl" and
rolled to the foot of the bank. The
savage who tried to kill Baptiste had
fred across bend in the ravine, shoot
ing poor White through the heart. The
firing for time ceased and another
squaw came out, bearing wounded
papoose. 1t was then renewed, the In
dams replying but seldom. At length
the old squaw volunteered to go into
the ravine and advise the bucks to sur
render. There remained only three,
one of whom was horribly wounded in
the abdomen. The errand proved
successful, and the ravine was carried.
The crowd rushed in and found there
the mangled bodies of three dead squaws
and one brave.

Anolher Horrible LoIocaust.

Another Horrible Holocaust.
New York, Oct. IA FIRE broke out
to-day In the German bark Europa, at

New York, Oct. THE Times says
that the Fifteenth Ward TildeE and

came to the conclusion that the lame
apology Of Tilden on the recent charges
was not sufficient to extricate him,
hauled down their splendid banner at
Bleecker and Sullivan streets, and re-
solved to support Hayes. Three hun
dred members were present. The
names of the officers and some mem
bers are published.

The following counties have given

been received from these four coun-

This embraces all the counties in the

claimed by the Democrats in the four
last mentioned counties, the Republican
majority will be 1904 on their State
ticket, and the official returns already
in show that they have the legislature
in both branches by at least two-thirds
