THEY ALL BUY COAL
ENGLISH MINERS WILL LAY
OFF,
Tho Pricc OF Coal Advanced and . Famine
Threatened.

A London dispatch says tho Leiccstershire
coal mine owners gave notice on tho 3rd Of q
further advance in the price of coal. Three
shillings per ton Is the advance agreed upon.
This makes total rise Of Z shillings per ton
within month.
The action Of tho miners In announcing
that they would go on strike on the 18th
Inst and the rapid advances In tho prices OF
coal following that announcement Is leading
to panic. The cold weather, which has led
TO tho consumption Of q large quantity OF
coal, continues to prevail and this fact has
caused the alarm to, become greater than
would otherwise have been the case. No one
knows where tho advancing prices will stop,
and consequently everybody is anxious to lay
In enough coal now to carry them over the
two weeks strike. The dealers who sell to
consumers are flooded with orders, and all the
email dealers. Tho merchants declare that II
the present demand Is continued the stock
will last only four days.
The newspapers all publish articles In refer
cnce to the situation, and urge the public not
to become panic-strcken, rs prices cannot
make much further advance, owing to for
eign competition.
The retailers arc doubling the advance
made by the mine owners.
Rumors have been current In Brussels tha,
in consequence of tho proposed strike Of the
English coal miners, action would be taken tc
prevent the Belgian mine owners from cx
porting their product to England, and thu,
aid In the defeat Of tho English miners, who
on March 1a will cease work for n fortnight
their object being to so restrict the output ii
to cause the consumers to pay higher pricei
and thus afford the mine owners no excuse tt
carry into effect their contemplated reduction
In wages.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
Tho Son OF u Noted Minister Accused OF
Murder.

DR.. Henry NJ. Scudder, son Of the former
under arrest charged with murder. The
warrant on which DR.. Scudder is held was
sworn out by the venerable +. II. Dunton, pro-
prlctor Of the Spirit Of Me TarJ, and the
fathcr-in-law Of the accused. In the COM
plalnt on which the warrant was issued Mr..
Dunton alleges that on Sunday, February 81,
DIR. Scudder murdered Mrs. Dunton by beat
ing her on the head wtha blunt instrument.
Scudder married an adopted daughter OF
Dunton, whose feeble wife had n large for
tune In her own right, which, up to u few
days before her death, she had purposed leav-
ing to some blood relatives, but which at the
last moment, as she lay In bed but half con-
sclous Of what she was doing, as her husband
alleges, she was induced to sign over to Scud-
der's wife. Then one day another physician
was hastily summoned to her bedside and
found her expiring with ominous wounds in
her head produced by a fall from her chair
ms she was sitting up one day, scuddcr says.
As Scudder was the last man said to have
spoken with her, and as he could not satisfac-
torily account for the wounds, suspicion fell
on him.
Scudder is 30 years old and has an Office at
SO La Sale street, where he makes a specially
