SR:-I beg very respectfully to tender

mission, the giving OF any information
congress might require and the new COM
missioners become familiar with the duties.
The political question which seems to have
been raised over my nomination, and
which did not allow an earlier offer OF my
resignation, makes il proper for me to say
that when you nominated me you well
knew the fact that l was still an adherent
OF the republican party, as / had been from
It's origin in every sense; that / was a re-
publican when appointed commissioner,
either by President Grant or President Ar

The Co.operative Coal COMPANY.

About two months ago the Whining.
ton Cooperative General Trading AS.
ISOLATION was organized by number
OF workinemen of Wilmington taking
shares Of stock at So per share. a sufi.
cient number OF ST ares was subscribed
to enable the company to embark first
In the GOAL business. They leased the
old coal yard Of d. Fl. Kent at the foot
OF Orange street until nsxt spring.
with the privilege of leasing for q num-
Der Of years Mt the Same rate of rent,
The yard has an excellent wharf at
which vessels drawing seven feet OF
water can unload Mt low tide, and it ia
also supplied with n tram way and an
elevated railroad track from which
c1al cars can be emptied directly into
the bins.
In addition, there is stabliDg for a
number Of horses and an office on
Orange street. The dealings of the
company have thus far been altoRe. her
In coal, though 1t ie the intention 20 feel
the way carefully and engage In the
trade In wood aud -four and In due time
in groceries, clothing and everything
necessary for housekeeping. The aeso-
citation has had some trouble In getting
as N much coal as they could supply to
their customers, but the difficulties In
the way are being gradually overcome.
A canal boat'load of coal has just ar.
rived at the wharf; also sixteen car
loads of coal, averaging six tons each,
have just arrived, and 1t is believed
now that there will be no more draw
backs for want of coal.
- The association does not yet own its
own horses and carts, finding that they
can get their coal hauled nearly as
cheap by carriers, who are prepared for
such work, as If they had the means
within Themselves. Their coal is de.
livered at the same prices IL Is delivered
from other yards. but the profits sccru,
ing are distributed among the stock.
holders. and certain percentage goes
to those who use the coal. Tho bust.
ness manager of the association is La W.
renos J. Sova, who has o practical eye
to business and is obliging and accom-
modatinE to nil his customers. The as.
sociation is well pleased with its sue
cess thus far and has no doubt of future
success.

John Mason's Suicide.

John Mason, the 2Syear-old son OF
wealt y parents. WAS found dead In bed
on Friday morning, al his home, No.
l41l Locust street, Philadelphia, with
his throat cut from ear to ear. His two
younger brothers slept In the adjoining
room, but neither Of them heard apy
unusual noisa At 8 O'Clock on FRIDAY
morning his mother called him, hut re-
csived no response. An hour later Mr..
Mason entered the room. A ghastly
spectacle greeted him. The bed was
bespattered with blood and stretched
upon it, clad only In his night-shirt, Law
his son, with his head almost severed
from his body. A keen-edg ged razor.
stained with blood, lay on the floor be.
side the bureau. Great clots of blood
covered the surface OF the mirror, and
IL was apparent that young Mason had
stood directly in front of the glass when
he cut his throat, and STAG gered to the
bed. Mason always lived with his Do
rents and was considered recluse. He
rarely went into company, and tince
his return from abroad, about q year
ago, had been particularly quiet and
retiring In his disposition.

Murder Will Out.

WILLIAMSBURG, KY, Nov. GA re-
port has reached here that the Poe family
thought to have lost their lives by fre in
Knox county a month ago, were, in
reality, murdered by neighbor and his
concubine, whom the Poes had sighted
socially. A mother and five children and
two visiting young ladies were found
burned in the ashes of the destroyed hut
The story of the murder is told as follows
by an illegitimate son of the concubine,
aged 10 years, whom the father had
threatened and made mad: This boy says
the man cut from ear to ear the throats
OF each of the eight persons while they
slept, and that his mother then dragged
the bodies to the middle of the room and
set them on fire. They also fired the
house, took some bed cloth ing and other
articles and departed. On the boys state
ment arrests and investigation followed,
and the Poe articles were found in the
cellar Of the suspected PARTIES house.
They refuse to be interviewed and are
now in the Barbourvllle jail awaiting an
examination.

% years Of age at the time Of his death.
He left an aged wife. who died q fe w

was never heard to swear an oath, mover
accused of ly ing or theft, never had a

had whipping during slavery, nor was

and his wife had sixteen children, and
they lived to see one hundred and
