New Ycrk.-Bituminous Goals are
active, and we hear no complaint as
to the price that can be obtained ; the
diffisult5 is to promptly meet the de-
mand for coal. Prices are fairly rep
resented by our quotations, and some
Of the operators claim to be selling
an occas onal cargo at somewhat
higher range. 1t will be noticed that
water freights are very high from
Baltimore to eastern ports, and this
makes the coal cost considerable de-
livered there, but there is no Clear
field to be had; it all ssema to be
wan,ed for contract trade. In fact,
the Cumberland operators are reaping
better harvest than they thought
would fall to their lot. While they
were idle the Clearfeld took the con-
tract trade at low rates. right and left.
Now the market is active for bitumin-
GUS Goals with a good transient trade,
at rates that are very fair to the pro-
ducers. Some of this activity may be
due to the moderate supply, and per-
haps the market would not be so lively
were there an increased output of
thirty to fifty per cent, but 1t is re-
conciling the consumers to higher
rates for coal. The Clearfeld opera
tors are much hsmpered in their
transactions by short supply of cars.
What can be expected when the col.
lieries now oFening out are in full
working order? 1t is evident that
another line Of railway would be of
value to the operators and to the pro-
moters of The railway. We do not
look COR another season of such low
rates for bituminous coal. There was
no necessity for the low range of
prices this spring and summer, and
with anything like business manage
ment. the operator could have full
time at his mines, with fair net
price; the railway have an equitable
rate OF transportation on large ton
mage, and the consumer would not
suffer very badly in the prices at
which coal is deliver ed to him. This
much to be desired condition of
affairs may not be very far in the fu-
ture.-Coal Trade Journal.
Nothing has happened as yet TO
chang. The attitude Of expectancy in
the bituminous coal trade. The ques-
tions between the coal operators On
th, line of the Pennsylvania railroad
and the onpany have not yet ,esch-
ed settlement, and the Clearfeld
operators are still practically out of
the market so far as new business Of
any magnitude is concerned. Those
of the Cumberland companies which
ship oyer the Pennsylvania railroad
usually, are, of course, sending their
coal to Georgetown. The trade is
quiet therefore, and quotaiionsremain
$4.75@$4 So, alongslde, for Cumber-
land, and S485@$5, nominally, for
Clear field.
BoStcn There continues fair de-
mand ior bitumiuous coal, which
seems of greater Importance than it
really is, because the market has diff.
ficully in supplyingit. The Clearfeld
meu remain, one and all, out of mar

"A correspondent of the Indianapolis Jour-
nal telegraphs from Springfield, ILL.,, that ex-
Governor John NJ. Palmer has lately received
a letter from Hon SamuelJ. Tilden conveying
information that he had consented, at the So
licitation of his friends, to become candidate
for the Presidency in 1884, and making over
lures to him Mr.. Palmer) to accept the second
place OH the ticket. The letter is, it is stated,
exceedingly complimentary in nature, and par
ticular stress is laid upon Mr.. Palmer's popu-
lorty with the colored voters. The cores
pondent interviewed Mr. Palmer regarding
the matter, but that gentleman refused either
to acknowledge or deny having received the
letter, merely saying, II am non-committal. y
Two of his warmest friends, however, assured
the correspondent that they had seen the let
ter, and said that Palmer was inclined to re-
gard the proposition with favor.

A TERRIBLE COLLISION.

| The Greenville Neus of the 21st ultimo gives
the following particulars of the collision OH
the Airline Railroad on the morning of the
preceding day, from which it would appear
that the accident, traceable to intemperance,
was of serious consequences: ... .
On Sunday morning West-bound freight
train on the Airline Railroad left place
called Flowery Branch, and had gone but a
quarter of mile when freight train coming
from an opposite direction suddenly came in
sight. Both trains were running quite rapid
ly, and it soon became evident that collision
was inevitable. There was trestle between
them, and the two trains came together with
terrific shock nearly in the middle OF it.
The fireman of the West-bOund train sprang
from his engine Just before the collision, and
received injuries from which he died yester-
day morning. Both engines were thrown
from the trestle, and fifteen cars were thrown
off. The engines were both badly demolished,
one of them falling into the stream below and
the other in the gully, not many feet away
from it. The fire from one of the engines was
knocked out, igniting the trestle and five of
the cars, which were loaded with bacon, cot
ton and general merchandise, which were al
most entirely consumed The bridge was bad
ly broken and burned, and the wreckage was
scattered in every direction, the cars and
locomotives being strewn about over the
gully, on the side of the embankment and
under the demolished bridge The fireman on
the East-bound train had his arm broken IN TWO
places and both engineers were severely bruised.
As soon as the accident occurred the conduc-
tor of the West bound train disappeared and
has not been seen since. 1t is alleged by par

GUITEAU,

The latest concerning the assassin is the
following from the Washington Star: -.
Guiteau, who is confined OH the east side
of the south wing Of the jail, does not look so
shabby since he donned his new suit OF blue
cloth, and in the afternoons, when he is allow
ed to use the corridor for pedestrian exercise,
walks in lively way and seems to be rapidly
regaining his spirits and flesh. AS heretofore
stated, whenever he is kept to himself for a
few days he goes down in health, and becomes
feverish and ill-natured. Allowing him to see
visitors occasionally, he soon regains his tone:
Among the few persons admitted to see him
Yesterday were two ministers. The most OF
the conversation with them was as to his i'm
proved looks and his photographs. He took
one of the fac-similes Of the flattened bullet
shot at him by Sergt. Mason, and holding up
a photograph and putting himself in position,
said it was perfectly wonderful that the ball
should have made such good likeness. The
ministers had some little conversation OF q
spiritual character with him, in which he said
he was a Christian, and was endeavoring to
live as one. AS they were leaving he passed
out q card on which he had written: VI
offer this sentiment The Republican party
Wrecked by Garfield, saved by Guiteau's in
spiration and Arthur's craftsmanship" He
does not seem inclined to talk of his case much
now. and such conversation with visitors is
prohibited. Although apparently Indifferent,
some of the officers are of the opinion that he
is becoming really more serious than formerly,
and that he engages in light conversation as a
means of forgetting his crime and his approach

would save his goods. They took life-boat
and barge, and rowing out in front of the
house, began to get out the goods through the
second-story windows. There were four fami-
lies living over the bar part and two over
the grocery-Melchers and another. One
barge load was taken out, including Melcher's
piano and fine furniture, and taken to the
shore and landed When the men returned
for second load Gillaly was the third story,
Tully in the second and De Van down in the
boat. Only few things had been loaded when
a crash was heard the middle wall fell, and
the whole house from the top to the ground
floor, with all it's contents, went down into the
cellar. Gillaly managed to jump from the
third story and Tully from the second through
the awning frame into the water below Ev-
cry building along the river front was under
water, and sever..l houses and coal offices were
washed away.

BURGLARY OF A STORE.

On Thursday night last Mr.. NJ. Strauss dry
goods store was burglariously entered, through
a window in the rear Of the building, the thief
having cut through the shutter hole which
enabled him to withdaw the bolt securing the
iron bar with which the shutters were confined.
Hosting the sash, he then went in and helped
himself Money would seem to have been the
object of the burglary, as the safe, which had
been left unlocked, was found to have been ri
fled and it's contents scattered over the floor.
There was about 500 in change in the safe,
which was all the ready cash that rewarded
the burglar. Mr.. Strauss does not miss any
goods of consequence, except about half box
of tobacco, and probably a pair or two of Ia
dies shoes.
