 ';Peter Seideman had been ill the habit of stopping over night with me during his periodical trips through West Jersey. Seidcman gave me only about 35 cents worth of his goods for a nights lodgings. The last time he came to my home was on the day of the wood sale, last November. met David McGill that day, who was at the sale and he asked mo Nho Seideman was whom he saw him at my house. I told him he was a peddler who often came to my house, and asked McGill what he thought it was worth to stay at my house all night. He said dollar was little enough. I told McGlll thought so, toe, and that it would be the last night Seideman would stay at my house. I hung around until tho wood sale was ovc: and when I got home Seidcman was still there. He had big pack with him and he took supper with us. He told mo he intended staying all night and wanted to get up early, as he had a long tramp to make next day. l made him bod on the floor of the down stairs room. Me and my wife went up stairs early and went to bed.
 II laid there thinking about that big pack and how Seidman had rattled money in his pockets before I went up stairs. I couldn't sleep thinking about the thing, and about II o'clock got up and put on my pants and sneaking down stairs without waking up my wife. When I got down there Seidman was sound asleep with his clothes on in tn corner.
 II picked up hatchet from near tho fireplace and went over to Sideman. I struck him on the head with the hatchet over tho eye, and he never moved. I hit him twice moro to make sure of 1t, and he was dead.
 After killing him Iwent through his pockets and got s11.20. I then wanted to get rid of the body, and thought of the mill pond.

THE COAL TRADE.
The Demand at Present Not Heavy III
 the Season's Distribution About Over.

n
 the Seasons Distribution About Over.
 PHILADEI.i ,;fA, Oct. 21.-The active distribution O. coal for the present sea son is practically over. New England has laid in its winter supply, except & few hundred thousand tons that will go forward in the next five or six weeks. No more orders are coming in from that section and no moro are expected until next spring. Tho Western trade is rather moro active, but the demand there is pretty we'll filled. In few weeks more the movement will be reduced by the closing of lake naviga- tion. In and about Now York and Philadelphia the demand is good, but the trade is not up to last year.
 Prices arc held up very tirmy about this city, but in New York the circular is cut about forty cents. There is no foundation whatever for the reports that prices will be advanced next week. The companies will make efforts to main tain prices at the present range until next spring, and the belief in the trade is they will succeed unless the winter is very mild one. The output of coal is being regulated to the demands of the market, and tho Reading Company has just shut down nine collieries ''ior repairs." All through the region the miners are being worked on short time.
