Coal Combine.


NASHVILLE, Dec Some time ago
there was combination formed here
called the Nashville Coal Company, de-
signed to control the entire coal trade of
this section. Contracts were made with
all the leading mines which supply this
market with coal to sell their entire
product to the com bination for period of
four years. Some of the companies were
paid 500 per annum not to send any coal
to Nashville. There was general ex-
preston of opinion against the combine,
but in spite of several indictments for
the alleged violation of the laws against
trusts, the combine has gone on. They
claim to be doing only "a legitimate bust
ness and not to be trust.
Some of the dealers who were to be
shut out have managed to get coal any
way, and today a curious suit was
brought in the Federal Court against
the Black Diamond Coal Company, which
has repudiated its contract and gone on
supplying coal to a competing dealer
The Nashville Coal Company asks that
the other company be made to abide by
its contract, as the fact that others are
selling this coal will change the market
price, and deprive them of the profits to
which they are entitled.
They particularly state that the party
to whom the coal is sold is an active
competitor of theirs, and ask an injunc-
ton against the company selling any
more coal except to them.
The bill is all the more remarkable
from the fact that the first bill filed I'M
der the Sherman antitrust law was that
breaking up coal trust here two or
three years ago.

NASHVILLE. Nov. 29.-Commissioner
Of Agriculture Allison's crop report for
November is as follows:
Correspondents in six counties, viz:
Lake, jackson, Moore, Fentress, Nor
gan and Bledsoe, have failed to send in
reports for this month. The review of
the crop situation is, therefore, based
upon the reports of ninety counties.
Conan increase of 2-9 is noted in
the yield of corn as compared with the
estimate for October. with decrease Of
1.6 as compared with November, 1892.
Cotton-This crop shows an increase
of SO per cent in yield as compared with
October report, and shows that SAT- per
cent has been picked to date (NovembeT
20), while the probable yield is esti-
mated at 63.4; the estimated yield the
same month last year was 47.3 and for
November 20, 1891, 72.s.
The wheat acreage is found to be 93.3 3,
as compared with O.S5 in 1892, an in
crease of SIS. Condition at this date,
COS.
Winter Oats-The acreage of this crop
is estimated at 500, as compared with
S7.S in 1893.
Stock-All stock will go into winter
quarters in good condition. Especially
is this the case with hogs on the ranges,
where meat is abundant. Horses and
mules show 81. in condition; dry cattle,
0.93. and fattening hogs, 80. per cent.
Our correspondents report horses and
mules in great plenty, with but little
demand; dry cattle in very good condi-
ton but low in price; hogs have COM
manded good prices, and they seem to
be more abundant than expected, from
our former reports, although cholera
and other diseases have ravaged whole
neigh borhoods. Cholera is prevailing
with more or less virulence in 4S coun-
ties of the 80 from which reports have
been received.

YELLOW FEVER AT SANTOS.

The British Consul at Santos, in Brazil,
says III a recent report that a mistaken notion
appears to be prevalent III England as to the
yellow fever and smallpox at Santos, as if
these Affections were merely temporary ide-
mics, like influenza III europe OF cholera. The
fact is that yellow fever and smallpox have
b EN- going OH in Santos fol the last five years
and are going on uow, merely varying from
time to time in intensity. As yellow fever
diminishes in viIulence. smallpox obtains the
ascendant, and rice rey8a. Smallpox, for in
stance, has not been 50 deadly lately, but at
the time the Consul wrote there were 200 to
800 cases Of yellow fever III the hospitals.
Both diseases, which appear to keep pace with
the ovelcrowding of the town aud harbour,
have become chronic and epidemic, and as
there is no probability Of this oveicrowding
diminishing they are likely to %continue to be
so indefinitely. The mortality Of seamen in
Santos has been considerably alleviated since
provisions were made to enable them to be
discharged and to ship on outgoing vessels az
soon as the chance offers. Men can thus
often get away from tn place within q few
days. Dun 3 the height Of the poStllence
last year many men were sent to the hospital
and died there u%nreported uhde wrong names.
As all who die are buried within two hours,
such men could not subsequently b. traced.
There was no registry Of voluables or money
which seamen and others had about thelA on
entry, and in no single Instance was the fact
of their having died III possession Of anything
reported to the Consulates. The greatest neg
Iect and carelesNness prevailed, some of
which was unavoidable WHEN every hospital
was full and men were dying for weeks at the
rate of 80 to 40 per day, with the town half
deserted. Outside Of yellow fever and small
pox the principal trouble of seamen in Santos
IS that a white kind Of ram, manufactured ex-
clu ,igely IN The province, and sold under the
name of "caseaca' pronounced ''cashaso'),

RAILWAY DISASTER NEAR
NEW YORK.

New York, Aug. 81.
A frigh}ful disaster, resulting in the loss Of
sixteen lives and the serious injury of nearly
forty persons, occurred last night ON the Long
Island Railway, The passenger train from
Rockaway Beach, a popular seaside resort, to
Long Island City, ran into the rear of q train
from Manhattan Beach at Bushwick juno
ton, five miles from Long Island City.
The Manhattan train, composed Of eight
carriages, left Manhattan crossing for New
York at eleven O'clock with 400 passengers,
and a short distance from the junction the
R%ockaway Beach train, heavily loaded with
excursionists, crashed into it. The rear
carriages were smashed to s~plinters, but the
couplings between the first coach and the
engine remained intact. The locomotive sped
along for a distance of two miles before the
breaks could be applied. The passengers in
the first carriage were terribly shaken. Eight
Of them, who We're thrown from their seats
against the sides Of the vehicle, were severely
injured. The carriages in the rear, which
received the full force Of the shock, were
bent into the shape of the letter V, and the
woodwork was piled up in a mass on tho
line. The dead and injured passengers were
huddied together in the great heaps of
broken framework. Although the number
killed on the spot was not more than sixteen.
it is feared that the list will reach at least
double that number.
1t was a quarter to twelve O'clock when the
collision occurred. The Roskaway Beach
train was crowded with the holiday makers,
: who had spent the day on the long narrow
sand bar which separates Jamaica Bay from
the Atlantic. The ehgine-driver had no idea
Of the Manhattan train being in front of him,
the latter being especial of whose departure
he had not been advised. 1t, too. was crowd
ed with excursionists. 1t had stopped at
Bushwick junction a few minutes before a
quarter to twelve, and was just moving out
when the other train came up.
The Rockaway engine dashed right through
the last carriage aud half way into the one
before it. Tie line was strewn with the
wreckage and the mutilated bodies of the
victims.
The opinion of those in charge of the COM
pany's Office in Long Island City is that the
accident was due to a careless dispatcher
at the station below Laurel Hill. It is
believed that the dispatcher before receiving
Information that the Manhattan train had
moved out of Bushwick station had displayed
