GENERAL ITEMS.
Eastern TieaOs of the Coal Trade.

Nsw York. - Bituminous coal is
quiet and whether one takes up the
report from Boston or Chicago it is
the same story. There is any quanti-
ty of coal, and the varieties offered
seem to be more numerous this year
than ever. The natural result of
this condition of things is the low
price at which this coal is quoted on
the Atlantic, at the Gulf, or by the
great lakes. American manufacture
ers and steam raisers generally surely
have no cause for complaint at the
price at which they can supply their
fuel supply. T.le Cumberland and
Cleartield coal are being sold at the
pool rates, the "Vanderbllt' coal is
said not to realize these figures, while
the Pocahontas gets in Sample
cargoes" at every opportunity but at
unknown prices. One of the features
in this trade this week, is the request
by the miners in the Georges Greek
region for an advance in wages this
can hardly be granted in the con-
dition Of the trade, and no one COM
pany can grant it without the con-
sent of the others. Coal Trade
Journal.
The bituminous coal trade has not
improved much under the spool"
treatment.
Vanderbilt coal Is reported to have
been offered this week, "welghed" at
New Haven, for $3.50 per ton.
The New York & New Haven con-
tract for 10000 tons is said to have
been given to J. G. Scott Il Co., and
$4,000 tons to the Pocahontas.
The Maine Central contract is said
to have been taken by Berwind, White
& Co. The National Steamship
Line and New York Central con-
tracts are still open.
There are rumors that the spool
farce" will be withdrawn before long
and some other play substituted. 1t
has not "drawn" as well as was ex-
pected.
Prices of bituminous Goals may be
| quoted at $2.75@$3.25, f. o. b. New
York $2.40M$2.75 Philadelphia
and Baltimore $3@$3.5o Boston and
Sound ports.
Bost0n.-There is not much doing
in bltumlnous coal. Single cargoes
are selling at $3.550$3.G5 delivered,

A Word TO Temperance sson.

1othe Ed1t0r OF t3e Press:
have seen notice in some of our city papers of
meeting to be held by the temperance people Of
this city, for the purpose Of putting into the field
atthe coming spring election, a temperance ticket
for Mayor and ward officers. Now, am, and al
ways have been, as good temperance man as there
is in the city. and don't propose to be brought into
any scheme of this sort. I propose to hang to the
party, Cproviding they put up good men for ofice)
that has given the temperance people all the legis
ation that they have had in this State for the past
twenty years; yes, may say, the party that has
given them everything in that line that they ever
asked for
would like to ask the common-sense temperance
men II they think it a good plan to swap horses
crossing the stream? think theyswill, answer MOL
not if we know it.
Now, after the Republican party has done for the
temperance people what it has for them to step
out, before they know who the republicans are to
nominate, and put ticket, (Which they must know
cannot be elected into the field, i must confess
looks to me like scheme laid out by some Of our
democratic brethren to draw off from the Republi-
can ranks; for in the Republican ranks is where
you lind the largest number of temperance men. L
simply write these few lines, to warn the temper
ance people OF approaching danger. If we are
drawn into such scheme by the Democracy (as we
were, no doubt, few springs ago. how can we ever
expect hereafter any support from the Republican
party, for to that party must look for our sup-
port, judging the future by the past S..

A young widow, giving her name as Emma
Jordan OF Lewiston, applied for board
recently at the Young Women's
Christian Association building on Berkley
street in Boston. She stated that seven years
ago she went to Manchester, N. H., from
Somerville, N. j., and worked in the factories.
There she married, and soon after the couple
removed to Lewiston to find better pav, Oe.
tober, 1888, she was left widow. In trying
to square herself with the world she was taken
sick and was i'll for long time. On recover
ing she went to work again, and remained in
Lewiston until the factories shut down and she
was compelled TO seek elsewhere. AS
the woman was very lady-like in appearance
she was at ONCE given good room, which she
occupied fifteen days and then mysteriously
disappeared, taking all hsr effects excepting
well filed envelope which she had handed
ov er on entering the house With the remark
that 1t was her money, and when she wanted
any would call for some. On discovering her
absence the envelope was opened and found
TO contain only tissue paper.

other one, it was full of tissue paper. Wednes-
