NO ALARM ABOUT THE COAL SUPPLY.

There IS complaint on the part of coal dealers
that the supply of coal in the city is short and
a consequence many of the retailers have advanced
the price Inquiry yesterday showed that while there
has been some lear OWING to the ice in the river and
the difficulty in moving the coal barges that the
supply would short yet there is a sufficient sup
py to meet all demands at present. While tho
retail dealers have advanced prices, it has been
wholly Tor the purpose of increasing their profits,
as wholesale dealers have not changed.
President Hoyt, of the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pauy, said that the company had not altered its
prices in six weeks and that while there had been
difficulty IN moving coal at tdewater owing to the
Ice there was 10 occasion for alarm. The warmer
weather now prevailing would soon remove the
difficulties i'll the way of getting plenty OF coal.

j. B. Foster, well known all over

From what we can learn, Sherwood
had charge Of Fosters toll-gate, and
1t was said he pocketed some of the
money he had collected for toll. A
quarrel ensued, and Sherwood drew a
revolver and shot Foster. So many
rumors were current yesterday it is
impossible to get at the facts. Ac.
cordlng to some reports he died few
hours after the shooting, and others
just as late, are to the effect that ht
was still alive, but that the wounc
would prove fatal. Geo. Richard:
