encrOaehments on the funds entrusted to
him. This began years ago, and grew upon
him SO gradually that he was hardly sensible
of them until, finally, he dared not look the
deficiencies in the face. Times grew worse
instead OF better, and he gradually dIifted
into sea OF trouble, and about 1875, under
pressure Of declining business and additional
losses, he began raising certificates.
Bindly hoping that the next step would
extricate him, he plunged deeper and deeper.

him. At its conclusion the District Attorney,

down completely, and burst into tears. His
sonorous voice was almost inaudble as he
pronounced the sentence OF five years in the

The Goa, Trouble. Not Ended.
New YORK, Oct. 12-The coal troubles do
not seem likely to be ended as soon as had
been supposed, or as most persons interested
might have desired. At the Delaware and
Hudson Camel Coal Company's office it was
stated that the latest news received from the
miners was that they were determined to still
hold out and not accept the terms Of the
company. It was also stated that the officers
of the company felt assured that the terms
they offered were the best that could be
granted to the miners, in view of the low
prices at which coal WAS now selling In New
York, but that the miners were all obstinate
and had expressed q determination to hold
out longer.
It had been hoped that the circular issued
by the Pennsylvania Coal Company would
have brought the miners to their senses, but
SO far it has had no effect. Coal was selling
too low to permit any advance to miners.
At the office of the Delaware, Laekawanna
and Western Coal Company it was stated that
no change had taken place in the position of
affairs at the mines, and that SO far as had
been ascertained there was very little pros
pect Of any early settlement of the question
There Is very little coal in the market and
only regular customers can obtain coal at any
price,
