The trial OF the Providence Coal Com
pany's suit against Cox Bros. a. Co. of
New York was begun this morning in the
common pleas division OF the Supreme
Court before Judge Douglass. Jury trial
was waived. The action is one brought
by the plaintiff TO recover damages
alleged to have ensued to it from the
failure of the defendants TO furnish
according to contract 5000 tons OF coal
at s1.S5 and owing to which failure the
local company was forced TO buy coal
at New York at s2.2o per ton. The
defendants claim that they were at
all times ready to fulfil their part
OF the contract, but that the custom
OF the trade is, and also the custom
by the plaintiff, to furnish the barges for
the transportation ef coal to this city
from where 1t was agreed to be delivered
in New York.
