STEAMSHIP SPREE SAFE.
ANXIETY REGARDING HER FATE

Part of Her Broken Machinery Goes
Through Her Bottom.

The Spree was overdue at New York and
fears were entertained for her safety.
The passengers on the Spree were landed.
Some OF them will proceed on the Etrura 10
New York, and others will wait the North
German Lloyd steamship Elbe, from Bre-
men and southampton.
The Spree's main shaft broke down on
Nov. 70. Part Of the machinery went
through her bottom under the second cabin,
which Immediately filled with water. The
passengers thought the vessel was going 10
the bottom and rushed on deck. For a time
a veritable panic prevailed, aud the officers
were helpless to calm the fears d. prevailing.
II was shortly seen, however, that the
wa'er-tight bulkhcadS were answering the
purpose for which thcy were constructed,
and that though the water was pouring into
the compartment beneath the second cabin
very little was getting into the other com.
partments.
When the accident occurred the Spree
was about 10 miles from Queenstown. 4
second-claSs passenger named Paul kelsOn
was so terribly frightened that he pumped

passengers are well. A despatch from
Queenstown says that the leak was caused
by the broken shaft pounding out a portion
OF the stern before the engine could be
stopped.

PRICE Of COAL TO Be ADVANCED,
Retail Price to BE - Cents Ton
Higher, Beginning December ~.

The Retail Coal Exchange of New York
met II few days ago at it, rooms in East Flf.
ty.eighth street, seyenty-ive members beInl
present. A resolution to advance the retail
price on all sizes OF coal - cents ton was
adopted, the advance to 60 into effect on
Monday, Dec IL.
The principal argument for the advanced
rate was that il was necessary in order 20
equalzc the advance male by the wholesale
companies Oh Sept. |. At that time these
companies, chiefly the Philadelphia and
Reading, made an advance OF % cents In
their circular, and no propOrtionnte advance
has since been made by the retailers.
On the sizes OF coal mostly used by the
family trade the advance at wholesale since
Jan. last has been Sll0, whereas, includ.
Ing the advance male, the retailers will have
advanced the price only - cents ton in the
same period.

OVER A BURNING MINE,
\ Pcnnsylvnniu Town in Danger oi
Being DESTROYED by n tavc-in.

The widest alarm was created in Honey.
brook few days ago by the dropping of the
surface. The affected portions are directly
ever the lIoncyhrook mine, which has been
burning for more than month, Since the
outbreak of the fire it was rumOrcd that an
extensive cave-in was imminent and that
the village of IIoncybrouk would he de-
stroycd. BY officials and others this idea
was laughed ut.
Last week II was thought to have been
entirely cXtinguished. Preparations for con.
tinuing work in the mine were male. The
men who left the village came back to secure
the old places, aud speedy resumption
was looked for
Fire was again discovered In one OF The
breasts above the gamgway, aud had already
made such Roadway that the workmen were
forced TO fy for their lives, and the work OF
flooding the mine began. Again symptoms
OF n cavc-in were noticed, and men working
in the slope rushed hastily to the surface,
and soon afterward the crash came.
A settling OF the surface took place imme-
diatcy after aud the people rushed eXcitcdly
from their homes. The affected part covers
several acres, but fortunately few of the
dwellings were over il. Order was again re-
stored in the village aud the people returned
to their homes, but are living in them under
terrible apprehension.
