The Coal Trade.

There is entirely too much anthracite coal
on the surface of the earth for a steadily
wholesome market. The difficulty is not so
much that prices are low as that there is a
very limited demand for coal at any price.
Coal is being piled in waiting for demand
that is believed will surely come before the
year is half out. This belief is based on the
encouragement aforded on the general re-
viyal of business, and more especially on
the REVIVAL of the manufacture of and traffic
in iron and steel. These are pursuits that
revive slowly and at great expense; conse-
Quently, when once started, they are likely
to hold on for several years. Iron works are
now in full blast all oyer the country, and,
from the number of railroads and the length
Of miles proposed to be constructed, there
rs good reason for estimating for a large de-
mand for fuel for this iron interest. As yet
however, there is little movement as to an
thracte coal prices. Enough, however, has
hanspired within the past few days to in
spire hope of something even more favor
able in the near future. There was a meet.
ing at the Lehigh Coal Exchange in thii
city about the middle of the past week, al
which there was large representation o
| operators, and several members Of III,
Schuylldll Coal Exchange were present by
invitation. The best feature of the gather
ing was the earnestness with which the ope
rators took hold Of the subject. While n,
change in prices was reached at this meet
ing for coal for the current month, excep
in the single instance of an advance of Q
cents per ton on furnace coal, there was
disposition shown on the part of operator
TO stiilen the market, even at the expens
of iortnights suspension of production
during the month. The increase in th
price of furnace coal, we understand wa
made in consequence of the present activ
condition Of the iron trade,as already noted
Statements were also made in this conneC
tion that that interest was in the best eond
ton 10 bear any increase in prices whic
the market should warrant The qnestio

TIE Carson appeal says: John Sim
mons. William Townsend and Charles
n. Bulch. who had spent week, at
Lake Tahoe, were coming down in a
private conveyance; when in Clear
Creek canyon just this side of where
the hume crosses the ROAD for the fret
time, Mr.. Balch saw rock which
weighed several tons, coming down the
steep mountain side. He called the
attention OF his comrades 10 the fact.
aud On effort was made TO Whip up the
horses. At the same time the horses
saw the danger themselves. and became
SO frightened that they backed on their
launches and snorted with terror. 1t
was only the work Of few seconds for
the rock to rcnch the team. and as 1t
struck them it swept them off the road
into the stream at the right. and sen.
the wagon and its occupants into the
bushes. The heavy growth of willows
broke the force OF their fall. and aside
from few scratches they were uuin.
jured. One Of the horses was killed,
aud the driver. Townsend. was covered
with spattered blood. The other korse
was 80 badly mangled that he was shot
to relieve him Of his misery. The horses
belonged to the party and were valued
at 5000.

JoHS S. MAYHUoH, Sec'y Pro. TEN.

SAYS the SaDcr SLATE Of Saturday
James Dorane who was confined in the
County Jail under indictmen Mt for assault
with intent to kill. broke Jail last night
and made his escape. Sheriff Miller
visited the Jail little before 9 O'Clock,
and found everything all right. j. o.
Ivory slept in the Sheriff's Office during
the night, and he says he heard no
unusual noise. This morning the Jail
door, which opens into the ShorifTs
office, was locked, but when breakfast
was taken to the prisoners Dorane was
missing. There was no way for him to
get ont OF juil except through the door,
and that must have been unlocked by
mems Of a duplicate key, as Sheriff
Miller Ind the regular key of the door
in his pocket. The theory Of the man.
ner in which be made his escape is, that
hierds got an impression Of the lock to
the iron door OF the Jail and had n key
made to fit it. The door was locked
after the prisoner made his escape, to
prevent suspicion. Some OF the men
confined in the jail say they heard the
door opened in the night. but they paid
no attention to the matter. It il sup
posed that Dorane escaped about IL
o'clock, and before Judge Ivory. who
was down town until midnight, went TO
bed. As no serious injury was inflicted
on the person whom Dorane assaulted,
it is not probable that the Sheriff will
go to any great expense in endeavoring
to capture the fugitive.

A UaItea etai-k Aspreae Coar,

A decision rendered In 1875 by Jus.
tiee Swayne OF the Uniisd States Su.
preme Court has been called into prom.
ineuce by the TACT that Il settles the
question of deh. Gsrfeld's position in
the De Golyer matter b-yond doubt,
and exposes the weakness and absurdity
of the arguments employed by his nd.
hsrents In the vain hope Of purifying
his record upon the sS.O0o fee matter.
The case in which this opinihn 6t Jus.
tice Swayne was rendered was thnt Of
Chittenden again't Mcclellan aud 9TH
ers. II was tried in Cook CoAnty, H..
in May 1875. aud was decided on appeal
in October, 1879, in the United States
Scpfeine Court. It may be snid that
Justice Swayre is a thorough Republi.
can and an Ohio tSan. The Supreme
Court opinion was delivered ia the case
Of Burke against Child. the case Of
Chittenden against Mcclellan being
submitted on the arguments and briefs
filed in the former suit. Justice Swayue
says:
"The agreement with Gen. Garfield,
member of Congress. 20 pay him
$4,000 rs neontiugent fee for procuring
contract which was itself made to
depend upon a future appropriation by
Congress-which appropriation could
only come from committee of which
he was Chairman-was sale Of official
influence, which no veil can cover,
against the plainest principles OF public
policy. No counsolor-at.law while
holding high Office has right to put
himself In position Of temptation. aud
under pretence Of making legal nrgu.
ment exert his official influence upon
public officers dependent upon his fu.
ture action. Certainly the courts OF
justice will never lend themselves to
enforce contracts obtained by such in.
huence."

r-oub,e a. the C.r.o. Mia,.

The rumors Of mismanagsnient, or
something OF less mild q name, have
for some time past have been heard
with regard to the Carson Mint. The
fact that charges had been privately
made to the Departsiect at Washington,
that tho Mint was improperly. 81 not
dishonesty conducted, and that certain
employees Of that institution had been
discharged. being the supposed authors
of the information forwarded to Wash
ington, created the suspicion that the
damaging whisperings emanated from
the dischsrged employees, they being
actuatei by spite, and in consequence,
but little attention has been paid to
these reports. Something OF n deau!te
character rejecting on the Mint mau-
agement has just come to surface, how
ever, and the officials Of the coin factory
will now have the opportunity to com.
bat that which is tangible. aud either
clear their skirts OF suspicion or sub
side beneath failure.
One A. A. Pollard, of Silver City
through the Virginia Chronicle furnishes
the particulars Of transaction in bul.
lion between himself and the Mint.
which il correctly stated throughout. is
convincing proof OF incompetency. il
not worse, in the conduct of the busi-
ness Of the Government institution. A
satisfactory explanation Of the seeming
:rookedness, by the Mint officials will
De awaited with interest.
