New YORK, Jan. Eft Is stated this af-
teruoon that the Pen sylvania road has made
a contract to deliver 10000 tons Of anthra-
cite coal at Lebanon, Pa, which is in the
heart Of the Reading territory. The contract
is supposed to be for the Dawson Coleman
Iron works. President Hoyt denies this af-
ternoon th at there will, as reported, be an
auction sale in Ph iladelphia to work of sur
plus coal. President Sloan was visited By
Auctioneer Draper to-day, who asked If the
Lackawauna purposed having an auction.
Mr.. Sloan's mo- might have been heard in
in Twenty-third street. F. A. Potts
said to-day that the pool COM
pauies were more united than were
before, and that as the Pennsylvania Railroad
compauy's capacity for producing anthracite
was fixed quantity and not likely to exceed
the output for 1884, all the difficulties in the
coal situation were apparent and not serious.
President Harris, of the Lehigh Valley COM

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The will Of the late
Mrs. Clarissa c. Peck, which disposes of
$500 900 worth Of property, about s40O,0 900
Of which is set apart to provide in this city or
in Hyde park, home for incurables, is
threatened with defeat. A young man,
tweuty-one years old, named Geo. Peck,
claims TO be a grandson of the lady and to be
entitled to the bulk Of what she devised away
as her own estate. Philander Peck, the hus-
band of Mrs. Clarssa c. Peck, died intestate
in June, 1852, leaving two sons, Henry B.
Peck and Geo. F. Peck, and Il daughter,
Fraucis II. Peck. The daughter died in in

October 81, 1865. When the daughter
died some Of her share in
her fathers estate descended to
George, and when Henry died be left will,
leaving all Of his share to his mother FOR life
and to George after her death. 1t is estima-
ted that in this way Geo. E. Peck acquired a
share Of the estate, which by this time has
amounted to nearly all Of it, but Geo. Z.
Peck was a very abandoned character, and
on March lG, 1868, about six months before

named Maggie Campion, then about sixteen
years Old.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The stock market
opened STEADY to-day 1S@H per cent. higher
for the active list, while Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy was Is higher, Illinois Central q,
Northwestern 5s, ST. Paul g and Manitoba
an even point. The furry in Lackawanna
which began yesterday afternoon, was con-
tinued to-day with even greater power, and
dc alings in it were the principal feature Of
the market. After the decision of the coal
road was known yesterday afternoon and the
stock had rallied point or so, coterie of
bull operat tors, including Deacon White, met
in Colgate's Office and formed a new bull
pool to squeeze the shorts in the coalers, and
this morning they began operations with
high hand. 1t was all Lackawanna and
little else. Outside operators rushed in
to buy, and shorts hurried to
cover and the stock, therefore, went
up like rocket under the com hined pressure
and yet the new arrangement is only
patched up truce for four months, and does
not improve the coal situation a single par
ticle, but that made no difference with stock
gamblers, who were bent Oh plunder and OBJ
tanned it at the expense Of unfortunate bears.
Lackawanna yesterday was down TO S3A and
this afternoon up to S615, with plenty of talk
about 90. The remainder of the list partici
pated in the advance to very limited de-
gree. The boom in Changers seems to have
halted, while Western Union stops at 5S and
the Vanderbilts move upward slowly. Dur
ins the forenoon Delaware & Hudson had
touched 20 and Jersey Central 3314, but the
other stockss meantime only improved
5l@51. West Shore bonds for
some reason were active and stronger
today and sold up to 36%. A very promi-
nent Broad street banking house is authority
for the statement that something of i'm port-
ance is in progress looking TO a settlement Of
the troubles between the New York Central
and West Shore roads which will be very
favorable to the New York Central. All COM
ment to-day centers upon the probable effect
upon the coal combination. 1t is thought
lie fight between the allied companies and
the Pennsylvania will be very hot. The bear
clique, as represented by Henry y. Smith,
arc talking more bearish than ever, last
evening particularly upon Lackawanna, This
party is still short of the coal stocks and are
likely TO make another attack upon Lacka-
wanna to cover upon. There is big short
interest in Western Union and Union Pacific
and the Gould brokers predict squeeze.

what seems to be excellent authority, that a

discovered and is being investigated. The
details of the story are that woman OF
reliability, employed as Translator at the state
department, made discovery day or two
before the London explosion and communi-
Gated it to member of congress. He, after
consultation with his friends, decided to lay
it before the state department, and yester-
day did so. The matter is being investigated
by the department Only few people here
have any knowledge of it, one or two sena-
tors and few mem bers of the house having
the matter profound secret until the in

TIE MEXICAN MuTINEERs.

Secretary Lincoln received telegram from
Maj. Gen. Pope, commanding the depart
ment of Arizona, forwarding telegram from
Lieut.. Mcdonald, dated January 25, in re-
gard to his engagement with the Mexican
mutineers on the Mexican frontier the goth
inst. He says his troops were in ambuscade
when the leaders came along, and man in
the front made break with his revolver,
which caused the troops to fire. A charge
was then made by Lieut. jerks and four mu-
tineers were killed and twelve captured in
about fifteen minutes. The mutineers were
scattered all along the road for long dis
tance. The day after Lieut.. Mcdonald left
the field the governor of Lower California
came along with about thirty armed men,
claimed to have been picked up from
ranches, and gathered in nine others who
were still in hiding. Half starved and frozen
Indian runners Informed Lieut.. Mcdonald
that more mutineers were coming to water
troops. No attention was paid to the chal-
lenge and the two parties marched away to-
gether until they had passed few hundred
yards into Lower California. Instructions
are asked as to dealing with the governor of
Lower California and the party that crossed
the line at the Indian wells. Lieut.. Nc
Donald is very indignant at the conduct Of
the governor and protests strongly against
turning the prisoners over to him.

has postponed until Friday the consideration
of the resolution calling ON the secretary of
state for information as to whether any citi-

there was an expression Of opinion that there
was no occasion to begin an investigation.
Members say the resolution, as referred, will
