phe. To ascertain the truth of the
matter the reporter visited head
quurrers and learned the following
particulars:
Passenger train No. 3, which left
this city at p. Ia. Saturday, was
wrecked near Glade Spring. the
cause being that the engine drivers
mounted the rails.
The engine tender and postal express

pletely demolished. and the express,
baggage and two passenger cars wers

the orchard just in the rear of the resi-
dence of Mr.. G. w. Ammen. He thought
nothing of the occurrence, as there ID
a short cut through to Kirk avenue,
but as he approached the place where
the lnau entered, he heard some one,
apparently in distress, call to bin:
"Oh, mister, for Gods sake, come
here aud help me-"
Mr.. Morrison stopped, and a. he did
SO the cry was repeated He then
went over to where man was lean
ing against wagon and asked him
what the matter was. The man said

another savage lunge at him which
struck him in the left breast just over

accidentally threw his hand behind

MRS. FLoYD's MURDER.

PIATTs8URG, n. Y, Feb 10.-Further de-
tails of the burglary and murder at West
port, MS told to United Press respondent
by n prominent resident Of MlEport just
arrived from the scene Of the tragedy, are
rs follows:
Ransom Floyd, respected and wealthy
farmer, aged 10 years, who resided with his
wife, aged &C., two miles north of Westport,
had prepared to retire at about $50 Friday
evening. Mrs. Floyd sat reading tho family
Bible with her husband ut the side Of the
kitchen stove Mr. Floyd was suddenly
startled by tho furious barking Of the watch
dog which was chained at the barn. Before
he had time to sec what the trouble was or
to guard himself he saw man with ban
danna handkerchief fastened over the lower
part of his face enter thu kitchen door.
The burglar demanded all the money that
WINS in the house, and threatened to shoot
tho aged couple unless the demand was COM
piled with. Dir. Floyd refused to give up
his money, and was struck with club on
the back of tho head. The burglar also fired
two shots at him. He became unconscious
from the effects of the blow, and remembers
no more Of what occurred.
III l'S"ihHb eoAoSiouoioso hc Aoono No
wife lying dead on the floor in pool Of
blood. There were several gashes on her
head, and she had been shot once in the
body. The Bible from which she had been
reading was still clasped In her hands. 1t
was evident that she had not had time to
protect herself or flee from the murderer.
The house had been ransackcd, but nothing
had been taken. The burglar had probably
become terrified by his awful deed and had
hurried away without making thorough
search for booty. There We're two certified
checks amounting to S2.o''5 and s215 in cash
left untouched in bureau drawer.
There is not the slightest clew to the muir
derer. Floyd will probably recover, al
though his wounds are considered very dam
gerous on account Of his advanced age.

The An,hrnci,e Coal Trade.
By Associated Press


PHILADELPHIA, February 10.-The
Public Ledger in its financial article
today will says: The anthracite coal
trade continues very dull for the
domestic sizes and as active as ever
for the furnace and small steam sizes,
which have become very scarce. The
price for pea coal has been advanced
to ST. 40a$1 so at the mines, and most
of the shippers are disinclined to book
new contracts for that size, as
have already more orders than they
they can supply Some OF the iron
furnaces in the Lehigh and schuylkill
valleys have begun to use broken
coal to make up a shortness in the
supply of lump and steamboat sizes,
and this will afford some relief to the
market, which is gorged with a large
accumulation Of broken, egg, stove
and chestnut -. The prices for
anthracite are now weaker than they
have been at any time since last May
Shading from the circular figures is
being done openly, even by the large
mining and carrying companies. The
Reading company is selling to every
body at 10 cents per ton below the
circular prices, and the agents for the
Pennsylvania Railroad coal compa.
mics are reportedas selling their an
thraeite at 90 and 25 cents per
ton below the circular prices. Coke
Bros s. Co. are said to be
Offering the product OF their collieries
at the following prices at the mines:
Broken and egg. 3d. 10 per ton; stove,
So. s5, and chestnut, $2.15. The Wy
oming and Lehigh individual opera
tors have unsettled the New York and
New England markets by freely and
opening selling stove coal att cut OF OF
| from 40 to 80 cents per ton, and in
some instances at greater concession

A meeting of the general sales
