CoxSELIsylLIE, July 25.-The KeyaoAe
Courier has The following: The situation
in coke trade circles has grown worse in
stead ofSbetter since our last report, and
the operators generally have settled down
ID the grim fact that trade does not prom.i
ise TO improve any this year. This is q
philosophical way Of looking At 1t. They
don't expect much and won't be disap.
pointed. The syndicate Is now shipping
less than 800 cars per working day. This
week they runbut 4 days and it is not inns
probable that days will be the rule for
the present. Outside the syndicate ship
ments have also iallen oil some.
The syndicate have over 400 loaded
cars on Hdings now with no
destination antfithe outside shippers have
so cara mora. This blockade can only be
broken by shutting down more ovens or
working Q less number OF days in the
week The latter seems TO be the pro-
gramme. There Is scarcity Of water
south OF Uniontown, but all otherpafts Of
the region are supplied. The. Frick works
have their pipe line; Sehoonmaker has
huge reseryoifs!at Alice and Jimtowns
other works have aIteslan wells. Ieith,
however, has 10 use pit water and Red

The farmers pay better wagts as rule

saw 4 brutal fellow clubbing . horse over
the head, The General seized the man,
told him he was brute, and punlshed

and I was with him nine years without
being away from him more than two
weeks. Grant was q splendid rider and a
fine whip as well. He could ride forty
and fifty miles and come in perfectly
fresh, and tire out the youngest
men. He was much attached toia little
horse that was called JEFF Davis because
fhe was secured on JEFF Davis's plantation.
He was an easy animal TO ride and was
easily guided through ins apd outs, but
when iording streams JEFF was ats dis
advantage. There was besides, q noble
big bay colored fellow, named 'Cinein-
nati, which General Grant used to ride.

Gently.
1t was on JEFF that General Grant,
accompanied by myself and an orderly
rode ont 10 the front on the
morning when there was that hour ot
delay in the explosion Of our mine at
Petersburg. The General wore Little
blue blouse that morning and many oi
the men as We passed to the front did not
know that It's wearer was General Grant.
Firing was getting very heavy and l sug'
gestsd to the General that We dismoant
because we could gst abont easier. did
not say that the firing was terrific for that
would have been to him no argument,
so we dismounted, the orderly holding
little JEFF by the bride, and then General
Grant made his way through the lines and
works clear out to the front whore the
firing was heavy indeed. But he was q
man who never winked in the face OF
missiles and the only one OF two men l
ever saw who would not inyoluntarily do
50. The other was bugler. General
Grant was q Rip Van Dam
sort Of a man, man OF the
people. he enjoyed living among his
men during the war and In private hte.
When riding in special car perhaps he
would 20 forward and take half q seat
with some passenger in the front car when
he wanted 10 smoke. II Is said that with
ten riper years before him such man
should needs be taken, and think the
loss will be more appreciated by the
people as time goes on"
