OBITUARY.

General John A. Dix died at his residence
in New York city, at about IL o'clock on
Tuesday night, in the Slst year OF his age.
This venerable man has long been a promi-
nent figure in American history, and as SOL
dier, lawyer, United States Senator, Cabinet
Minister, diplomat, Governor of a great Com
monwealth, officer of the richest, and most
powerful Church corporation in the country,
orator and author, his name was a familiar
word to his fellow-citizens in all parts of the
United States.
About five weeks ago General Dix was at
tackled by painful disease. His spirits did
not desert him, and he entertained until
very recently strong belief in his early re-
covery. A week ago last Saturday, howev-
er, while endeavoring to sit up in bed, his
arm slipped from under him, and the fall
backward which resulted, while it would
probably have been unimportant in the case
Of younger man, was sufficient to fracture
his collar-bone. The shock and pain were
too much for his already sadly exhausted
system, and he lost all hope ofrecoyery. lie
began to sink rapidly, and last Saturday
morning he became unconscious, remaining
in that condition with but short intervals OF
partial consciousness until his death. On
Friday evening he sent for Bishop Potter,
who remained with him for some time, and
he also dictated farewell message to be sent
by telegraph TO his daughter, Mrs Walsh
who lives in Japan. His other daughter,
Mrs. Blake, and his sou the Rev. DIR. Moran
Dix, Rector OF Trinity Church, has been with
him almost constantly since his illness be-
came alarming.
John Adams Dix was born at Boscawen,
n. H., July "a, 1898. During the war of
lSl2-'l5 he served on the northern frontier,
with the rank of Ensign and as Adiuitant of
batallion About 1928 he commenced the
practice of the law, at Cooperstown, n. Y,
and became identified with the Democratic
party. In 1880 he was appointed Adjutant
General Of the state of New York, and in
1888, Secretary Of State and Superintendent
Of Common Schools. In ls42, he was elected
to the Assembly, and in lS45 be was chosen
TO fill II vacancy in the United States Senate,
caused by the election Of Sias Wright as
Governor. On the slavery question he was
considered the exponent of the free soil sec
ton OF the Democratic party in New York
whose candidate he was for Governor in
lS4S, but was defeated. In 1858 he was ap-
pointed by President Pierce Assistant Treas
urer OF the United States at New York, but
soon resigned. On December 10, Howell
Cobb resigned his post as Secretary of the
Treasury in President Buehanans Cabinet

The COnl Trnde.

The anthracite coal trade is in the same
unsettled condition that it has been reported
weekly for the past month or two. The
rumors of efforts on the part Of the coal pro-
ducers to combine and control the market
are frequent, and one is no sooner shown to
have little or any truth in it than new one,
or an old one in a new guise, is started to
take its place, each succeeding another in
rapid succession. The acknowledged facts
of the trade are anomalous and entirely in
explicable in any logical way. The demand
for coal is quite active, and sales are pretty
generally good way ahead of delivery.
Ordinarily this condition of affairs would
stillen and advance the prices Of coal in the
open market, but the actual fact shows upt
the present generally lower prices. This in
dicates some countervailing influence not
natural to the trade itself. Higher prices
than are now realized for fuel could be had
for the asking if the market presents its
true condition. Whenever buyers are weeks
in advance in purchasing their supply of
coal then has come the period precedent in
the market for an advance of prices. And
higher prices would now be uncomplain-
ingly paid. A good many persons in the
trade are Of opinion that the influences that
now tend to steadily sink prices on an active
demand for coal is traceable to speculations
in the stocks Of several of the coal carrying
companies, and the officers and managing
men of two or three of the New York com
panies are being charged with going long"
or selling short" their own stocks. This, if
true, is criminal, though the penalty is not
specified in the code. 1t is easy to make
charges, but it is difficult, except by some
such presumption as intmated, to account
for the anomalous fact of declining prices
attending on an active demand in the mar
ket. There is probably competition among
the carrying companies to keep up full
tonnage as against their rivals that would
induce low transportation charges, and so
keep down the price of coal, but it is not
supposed that the losing prices on coal could
or would be so long continued for such an
object as they have been. The losses on coal
must, however, soon find an end. There are
evidences of this latter fact daily more ap-
parent, and several prominent and inhuen-
tial men, both in and out of the trade, during
the last ten days have been exerting their
influence with the several large parties in
the trade to come to some rational conclu-
sions and do something that will save the
trade from the general bankruptcy that is
now threatened. Ledger, Monday.

Serious Mine Accident.

The Hazleton Sentinel gives the following
account of mine accident in that vicinity
on Tuesday afternoon a serious accident oc-
Cured at the Upper Mines of A, Pardee &
Co., occasioned by the explosion of fre-damp,
in which two miners, named Henry Hugo
and Jacob Fey, were severely, if not fatally
burned. From what we can learn the two
men were engaged in mining coal in q
breast. 1t is supposed the gas or fire damp
had accumulated overhead. They fired a
shot and retired TO erossheadings for safety.
fall of coal occurred, which it is supposed,
scattered the fire damp, or gas, and it was
driven to where the men were, and coming
in contact with their lamps, exploded, fore
ing the men out to the gangway. Hugo
had three ribs broken and was severely
burned. He is in a critical condition. Fey
had leg broken and was severely burned.
They both have families, Hugo resides at
sugarloaf and Fey lives at the Mines. They
are being cared for by Drs. Casselberry and
Longshore.
