CORRESPONDENCE
FOR THE SENATE.

CUMBERLAND, July s, 1885.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
In recent issues of the Frostburg
JOURNAL and the Cumberland Times
have appeared very complimentary
mention Of the name of one of AL
legany county's most esteemed citizens,
the affable, accomplished and popular
Daniel Amman, in connection with the
next democratic nomination for the
State Senate. Whilst we have no
word of dissent to offer to Mr.. An
mans nomination, we would beg to
also invite the attention of party lead
ers, as we'll as the democratic voters
generally, to our no less esteemed
citizen, Mr.. J. W. S. Cochrane,
whose training, business qualifications
and acquaintance with the people
of the county, their wants and their
interests, would seem to qualify him
in an eminent degree to represent
them as their honored Senator in the
| General Assembly of the State.

as smelling committee, qualified by
law to get on the trail of irregularities
so numerous, diversified, recurrent
and intermittent. 1t is impossible
for them to do more than compel the
offenders themselves to abate the nui-
sance, which brings the remedy down
to individual adoption and action at
last.
Meanwhile, any upright, honest
citizen, of eminent social standing
and commanding moral and political
influence, enjoys also an indefeasible,
indestructible right to promenade
our retired thoroughfares with a
clothes-pin on his nose.

IF people generally suppose the
squeeze of hard times is not felt by
those we'll off in this worlds goods
they are mistaken. There are many
cases Of actual misery among the
wealthy. A rich man, living in
Nebraska, wrote the JOURNAL few
days ago declining to renew his sub
scription on the "sole ground that his
investments had declined 10 per- rent.
in productiveness during the last two
years" Then, with the voice OF the
reformer, he declares that "retrench.
ment is absolutely necessary, and
draw line beginning with the best
paper in Allegany county,"
Evidently the West is getting to be
no place for men OF his weight, and
with the consent Of our brother tax
payers, we invite him to return to
the land Of his. birth and the home
of his youth and take Il parlor in our
poorhouse.
Right on the heels Of this incident
there comes to us IN the Coal Trade
Journal the story below:
Everybody remembers the veritable
story that has been repeated so often
about Eben Francis, who was the
Cr@sus of Boston half a century ago.
Called upon for moderate subscrip-
ton to a benevolent object, he ex-
claimed

THERE is some complaint going
about the condition of some of the
back streets and alleys of Frostburg,
which are described as even more in
tolerable than offensive partisanship.
Strange, isn't it, what applications

Elsewhere it is used to characterize
the enormity of slugging better
halves, but, gracious us! what may a

ANTHRACITE Coal At SIDELING
HILL,-County Commissioner Hartly
Tuesday brought to the city several
excellent specimens Of the coal found
on the Robert Bridge property near
the National road, Sideling Hill,
Washington county. The coal has
turned out to be anthracite, and Mr..
Bridges is developing it by sinking
a shaft. The vein is already IS
inches thick and grows larger as it
goes down. There is talk of Wander
bilt giving railroad connection
with the South Penn to develop the
property.

Eastern TieaUs of the Coat Trade.

.New York.-The bituminous mar
ket, as matter of course, is overrun-
ming with Goals from all the fields
with an eager competition. Sales at
from $2.75 to $3.15 have been made
here in New York at the lower ports
from $500 to 1925 f. o. b. with
freights added-and freights are all
very low.-Mining Record.
Bituminous is quoted dull all
round, this week. When the rail-
roads carrying this coal come to
regard it as something more than
freight (and a very poorly paying
one at that then we shall see this
quality of fuel selling more nearly
at its value. Surely it is not doing
so when coal is mined and then car
ried two hundred miles to be sold for
about two dollars q ton. In such a
condition of affairs as this shows, the
good coal should be left in the ground
until the market value advances
"let the other fellow take the trade"
at such figures as are ruling. We
notice that new lines Of road are
being built to open up more soft coal !;
would this be done if there were no
expectation of any improvement in
affairs Goal Trade Journal.
With the exception of two or three
small Eastern contracts, taken at
very low prices, we hear Of no business
doing. Prices are weak, and we hear
of bituminous coal offered alongside
in this city at $2.75@$3, with occa-
sional small lots bringing all the
way up to 1926, according to the
ability Of the seller. Stocks are not
large, but the output Of Cumberland
and Clearfeld is undergoing reduc-
ton. Steamships are bringing I'M
usually large amounts Of coal from
England, so that they take but mod
crate amounts in this market. The
trade, on the whole, is extremely
fat and Improbable, and the ira
dictionary ''pool' is rarely mentioned,
and never with respect.
Boston.-The bituminous branch
of the market is almost devoid OF

tracts are quietly placed on Il basis
of $2.25W$2.35 t. o. b.

broken coal is remarkably steady.
