rhs uovernm snt Dan Rails TO Perform IL
Functlona, aud the f3osts cun Not Pass.
PirrsBunan, Jan. ,. About half mill
lion bushels OF coal will get out tonight
tor Cinclrnntl aud Louisville, and probably
10 much more will b shipped tomorrow
morning. This will bs about the extent Of
the river shipment on the present rise.
Over 7,OO0, 600 bushels Of coal were ready
for shipment, but the operators were uu-
sble to get Il below the Davis Island dam
on account Of the heavy Ice, which pre-.
vented the lowering Of the wickets. The
Government officers 1t the dam worked In
cessautly for nearly forty eight hours try
ius 70 lower the wickets, but were unsuo-
cessful The ice was carried in large cakes
undcr the dam, and about thirty Of
the wickets were thrown in the
wrong direction, presenting for
midabls obstruction 70 the passage
Of boats. The dam u badly damaged, but
to what extent will not be known until
next summer, as no attempt will be made
to raise the wickets until that time This
was the first opportunity the coal men
have had 10 ship coal BY the river for eight
months, and the failure Of tho wickets to
work has occasioned considerable grumb-
ling.

ALONE WITH HER CAT.
Death Of q Woman Worth Nearly
q Million,
And No Human Near to witness Her Do
pArture.

READING, Pa, Jan. 2.-"Died quite alone
amid wealth and splendor' was never
more emphatically demonstrated than
when Mrs. Sarah Brinton McConkey was
found dead in her elegant mansion in West
Chester, Chester County, Pa, with her
faithful cat by her side. No one else was
in the house when she died suddenly
Of heart failure. Her estate is esti-
mated to be worth about 100000 The
estimable lady was eighty-three years
Of age, and in many things was inter-
ssting and eccentric. When the colored
cook, Mrs. Walker, entered the house and
went upstairs, she found the old lady lying
dead. When last seen deceased was ap-
psrently in the best Of health. Coroner
Whites jury rendered verdict in accord
snce with the facts. Since the death
Of her husband she has lived Q
very secluded life, preferring to be
alone. She expressed no fear of being the
sole occupant Of the mansion, and fre-
quently was 50 fastidious that she pre-
ferred occupying an apartment in q re-
mote part OF the house. There are no
children to inherit her vast wealth. She
was the last Of her generation, and She
had lived to an advanced age before she
married. For years she labored under q
dread Of dying in the poor-house, and
was exceedingly economical The Reg
lister Of the county took possession Of tho
house, and will realize at least e1,200 in
fees. Her dead body was found lying on
an iron cot because, it is said, she did not
desire to disturb the elegantappointment
Of her bedroom chamber. Her home was
the finest in West Chester. Interment to-
morrow, and private.

BERNAL KILLED.
Dsath Of the Most Desperate Ban.
at on the American Continent


NoeAInA ARE, Jan. e.--News has Just
reached this qity Of the killing by Mexican
troops Of Era6lis Befnal, the famous Mexi-
can bandit. The troops engaged Bernal
and some Of his band in fight near the
town Of Cosala, Sinaloa. The fight was
short and but few were engaged on
either side, but II was indeed q fight
10 the finish, and much blood was spilled.
Early In the fight Bernal fell with bullets
but his death at the head Of his men, in
stead Of causing them to falter, gave them
renewed sest, and they fought with re-
markabls bravery and desperation. The
Federal force, however, greatly outnum-
bered the desperate bandits, and the troops
won the day. After the battle the bullet
perforated body Of Bernal WAS picked up
and taken TO the town of Cosala,
where Il 10 at present. People
are nocking into the little town
from every direction to look upon the re-
mains Of the most desperate bandit the
American continent has ever produced.
, In the fight the mother Of Bernal and
three or four Of his followers were taken
prisoners, and lodged in jail at Cosala.
There 10 little doubt that oil Of them
will be summarily disposed of. There
is intense excitement In every local.
ity the news Of the killing Of Bernal has
reached, and especially In the State OF
Sinaloa, whore most Of his deeds Of mur-
der and robbery have been committed.
II fs ct this writing impossible to get the
full particulars, owing to the remoteness
Of the locality where the fight took place
and the fact that all the Government
wires are kept SO busy by the Govern
ment with official business regarding
the affair, that it is almost i'm
possible to send or recoive O message.
It 10 not even known how many troops
were killed or wounded, nor can any esti-
mate Of the bandit loss be secured. It is
thought, however, that the loss has been
very heavy on both sides. The country is
now 30 overrun with bandits that grave
fears are entertained that continuation
OF warfare BY the bandits under new
chief will be kept up.
