THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
The Great Coal CombinatIon-Its E
 feets on Trade.

II
 feets on Trade.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The great combination of coal carriers and the wild excitement and unprecedented trans- actions in the stock market have monopo- lized attention in Wall street. Outside of speculative circles there is some doubt whether the effects will be beneficial. Many apprehend that the price of coal may be advanced to manufacturing estab- lishments and other consumers. Others interpret the enormous sales in the light of the sudden advance in sterling exchange from $4S7 to $4 8S, ana question whether the great sales of such securities by foreign holders may not involve | some embarrassment. On the other | hand the consolidated companies will have no more power to control the price of coal than they have throughout their combina tion, and the market continues unusually l dull, the nominal price being not ofteI obtained. With a superabundsnce o l money in circulation, and practically un limited supplies of grain, cotton and whea to be sold, this country could we'll affort to buy back many of its securities iron
 Europe, and especially if they are to be
 come more valuable.

DEATH OF K. M. REED.

The Vice President of the Consolf-
 dated Road Passes Away Early This
 Mornins-Sketch or His Career.
 The death of k. M. Reed occurred this morning shortly after midnight. Mir. Reed was seventy-one years old, hay ing been born in Lancaster county, Penn sylvanis on November F, 1891. MT. Reed attended the common schools, and from his earliest years manifested predilection for the study of mechanics and machinery.
 At the age of sixteen he was apprenticed to & machinist in Lancaster City, and worked in the foundry and machine shop owned by Boone & Cockley. He mastered the details of his profession so rapidly that, when only twenty years of age, he was made general foreman of the establish ment.
 Early in 1s43 he began his long experience in railroading by serving as locomotive engineer on the Baltimore and Ohio rail road.
 In 1S45 he received an appointment under the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad company as master of machinery in the Port Richmond shops at Philadelphia. In the same year MT. Reed accepted a call to Havana, Cuba, where he was placed in charge of the machinery and of the op- erations of the Havana and Guines rail- road.
 Three years later he left the West Indies and came to Connecticut. He obtained here the responsible position of master me- | chanic for the Hartford and New Haven Railroad company, and has since | remained a citizen of our state. He was | appointed superintendent of the Hartford road in 1853, and retained that place until 1872.
 In the latter year the Hartford and New York Railroad companies were united un | der the title of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, and Mir. Reed was advanced to the general superintendency of the Con- solidated. Two years later he was chosen vice president of the road, which position he held up to the time O his death.
 Nr. Reed was by profession a civil and mechanical engineer. He built a large number of stationary engines and designed and erected many buildings and bridges.
 He was prominently instrumental ir raising our principal means of communi cation to its present prosperoni state, and Yale college, in lSS5 recognized his public services and scientif ic attainments by bestowing upon him the honorary degree of A. N.
 Mir Reeds death was very sudden and his illness was not generally known. Hi' death will be great surprise to his many friends, as he was seen on th' street only few days ago, and appearet to be enjoying good health.
 Mir Reed was laid up with rheumatism a short time ago, but aside from that com plaint his friends had no apprehension of anything serious
 Mr. Reeds's kindly face and form will b | sadly missed in the community.

WORST STORM IN YEARS.

Roads in Maine Entirely Blocked
 Rough Experience Of Vessels.
 PASSPORT, Me, Feb. 12.-The storm which began yesterday noon has been one of the most severe that has ever visited this section. The northeasterly winds kept increasing until the anemometer st the weather bureau was marking mile 8 minute. This high velocity has only been equalled four times and exceeded twice in the last ten years The barometer fell to 2S1 inches, the lowest on the weather bu- reau record Roads are blocked with heavy snow and wires are down.
 United States steamer Woodbury rode out the storm at her mooring, and the State of Maine at her wharf. Schooner Ceylon, laying at Union Rock, knocked a hole in her stern, filled and sank. Schoon- CT Cayenne had her windlass pulled out by the heavy strain and wharves were dam aged considerably.

He Speaks Of the Common Schools
 and Their Enemies-To Lecture
 Again This Evening.
 An audience of about 300 persons was present at the Hyperion theater last even ing to hear Rev. Dr. McGlynn delivsr his lecture on the public schools and their enemies. Shortly after 8 o'clock the speaker was introduced in a few words by Professor Hubert A. Newton of Yale university. The speaker is a man who has given up all that is dear to him to maintain his liberty of speech and sIpres- sion, and for that alone, if for nothing else, he is worthy of the respect of all citi- gems, no matter what their politics or re- ligious belief.
 The lecture throughout was most inter- esting and instructive, and notwithstand. ing the fact that 1t lasted for over two hours the attention of his auditors was | just as rapt at the close as at the beginning of the lecture.
 Tonight, by special request, Dr. Nc Glynn will deliver bis famous lecture en
 titled ''The Destiny of the English-Speak

Responsibility or the Owner-Burfal
 of Unidentified Bodies.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Distriot Attorney Nicon said to day that, while Inspector Seaton of the building bureau might escape prosecution under the statute of limita- tions for his false report of the Hotel Roy al fire escapes, the owner of the building might be indicted for murder in the sec ond degree if the evidence at the inquest warranted such proceedings. The in quest will be held on Monday probably.
 There were no more identifcations of the bodies at the morgue to-day. The five unknown corpses in boxes IT, II, IS, IA and 16-four women and one man were taken from the morgue coon before noon to-day and buried in Potters' Field. The probabilities are that their identity will never be disclosed. The body of Louisa Wood is still at the morgue await ing the arrival of friends from Boston who will claim it. There are still four bodies at the morgue awaiting removal.

his advocacy of emancipation was as nat ural to him as the contrary views enter. tained by her own people. She is learning above all to realize, that strong to his con victions as he was be was struck down at the very hour when he would have proved himself her friend, and that whether viewed as friend or as foe candor must class him among the wisest, truest, sim plest and greatest men that America has ever produced. ,- .-r..
 MT. Wise stated that the south was shocked ine1p1essibly by the assassination of Lincoln. He said that at the close of the war Lincoln proposed to 8 leading southerner that conventions be held in the southern states to repeal the ordinance of secession and to accept the emancipation of the slaves, and that the states then resume their relations to the Union. He quoted a high tribute paid to Grants military gen. jus by General Lee.
 THE CELEBRATION AT CHICAGO.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 12-The Marquette club celebrated the birthday of Abraham Lin- osln with banquet at the Auditorium to- night, at which covers were laid for 500 reputation were present. President Har- AA6ohS oohoooi ShS1Ahou1 HUI. W liiiaA mc- Kinley, Dr. Depew, Hon. Thomas B. Reed, General Russell A. Alger, Hon. Henry Ca bot Lodge and others sent letters of regret.
 The principal address was delivered by Senator Shelby N. Cullom, who lately an nounced himsalf az candidate for the presidency of the United States and who responded to the toast Abraham Lincoln. :" Among other things he said that if Lin coin were still alive he would urge us to hold fast to the doctrine of protection as modified by reciprocity and to hold fast to the doctrine of honest money applied in statesmanship so as to bring about at an early day the re-establishment of silver in it's former dignity as a money metal, the equal of gold in coinage and tender. He thought Lincoln would also advise the party to continue to insist upon and if need be to compel in some way the general recognition of the equality of all citizens before the law. The address::was frequent ly applauded. Henry D. Estabrook, Gen. Benjamin Butterworth and Hon. Jonathan P. Deliver also made speeches.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-A revised list of the number of cases of typhus fever was made up in the health office this after noon.

TALES OF DIS TX ESS IN RUSSIA. Intense Cold and Fatal Epidemic
 Added to Starvation-HersesK Killed
 for Food-PeoPIe Dying Off by the
 Hundreds-Atd from Minnesota.
 LONDON, Feb. 1s.-A dispatch from Penza, capital of the government of that name in the southwestern part of what is known as Great Russia, is published in the Chronicle to-day. It says tha. the ther- mometer registers 53 degrees below zero, and that there is terrible suffering among the peasants. A number of men have been frozen to death on the high roads, and it is so intensely cold that birds drop dead from the trees in which they have sought shelter. None of the children are allowed to go to school.
 Aquantity of grain for the famine-suffer- CTS has arrived at Penzs, but it is impossi- ble to distribute it among the peasants in the surrounding country owing to the fact that nearly all the horses have been killed for food or sold to procure money with which to buy the absolute necessaries of life. Five thousand horses have been killed in Penza alone, and it is estimated that several million draught animals have been killed throughout the empire since autumn.
 Typhus fever, smallpox and diphtheria are decimating the inhabitants. Around Penza 200 of the peasants have died from these diseases.
 The dispatch adds that in the govern ments of Samars, Ssratoff and Nizhni Novgorod the conditions are far worse than in Penzs. In those three govern ments thousands of the peasants have fallen victims to the hunger typhus and other epidemic diseases. In the governments of Karkoff and Kazan the typhus fever is especially terrible in it's ravages. The inhabitants are dy ''.g of by the hundreds. Whole families have been stricken by the disease and have all died.
 The records show that in the vicinity of Penza 17,9S6 persons, men, women and children, are daily fed by charity.

 PHILADELPHIA Feb. 12.-The consum- nation of the great anthracite coal eom- bination continued the absorbing topic in Third street circles to-day, and the excite ment WAS still at fever heat.
