Of the latter committee in which they say that there
is no necessity for further conferences until Mr..

the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. In regard to the
question whether there Is any possibility OF meet
ing to fix mp . coal combination after December ~
the time previously fxed), Messrs. Dickson snd
tiowen say that when the committee from the Le-
high Valley operators properly represented ana
with full power to act they will ask further extern

Ably be granted. Coal dealers who wero approached
yesterday the subject commended tho bold
stand taken by the companies in tho combina-
ton against the demands of the Lehigh Val
ley operators. and predicted the collapse of tho
coal combination on December 81. As a result
of this letter of Messrs Dickson and Gowcn the whole
sale prices of coal declined yesterday from thirty to

ELECTRIC LIGHT IN BOSTON.

From the Boston Herald, Dec. l3l
Another and very important step forward in the
science OF electric lighting made In Boston last
night. when for the first time tar there Is any
known record, this wonderful means of illumination
applied with marked, though not unqualified
success TO maritime purposes. Last Thursday fore
Mr. Linus D. Comins. Jr., agent for the Wallace
Farmer electric Light placed the necessary apparatus
ON board the fcrryboat Winthrop and at four o'clock
that afternoon had IL sci up and running The boat,
however, did not go into service until last evening,
wnen she was lighted by electricity. Two lanterns
were placed deck, suspended directly under
either pilothouso and third below over
the after end of the engine. These lamps
were illuminated by means of electric
current generated by Walace-Earmer dynamo
balance wheel of Woodwork steam pump. This
pump worked very irreguiarly. and as n result a
huctuatng current supplied to the lamps which
naturally Affected In their staatlness thereby.
Tue light. however. was generally very brilliant and
illuminated every portion of the deck with flood of
soft, white light, which could only have been ex-
cecdod in intensity by the rays OF the sun. On the
water the elcctwas remarkable. the boats track
from shore to shore iunned thai the smallest
boat could not have crossed tho Winthrops path
within three hundred feet without being clearly
IL WIS also apparent that no vessel could near
