The Coal Trade.

As suggested in this column some weeks
ago, the quantity of anthracite coal needed
for the months of May and June would be
fully met by shipment Of 100000 tons.
Indeed of this quantity, some has gone into
stock and is held by first hands at the various
points in the States where the dumping
grounds are located. The tonnage forwarded
in May is said to have been on the basis of
ne-half the amount named and an even
quantity will be mined in June. Official
figures show that shipments Of anthracite,
during the month of April, were Bob 100
tons making IL, ,459 2Ss tons for the first four
months of 1896. Adding 5000, 900, 900 tons
thereto, we get in round numbers 1s,50O,00O
tons for the first half of the year In the
last half of the year, an increase Of 33 per
cent gives a Tonnage Of "a 00O, 600 and a total
of Il, 100000 tons for the year. That is
enough, if the idea ola remuneratiye price
being had is to be realized. The coal mined
in the period for April to December is not all
consumed and much Of it is not sold, but is
carried for future needs, either by the com
panies, the retailer OF the consumer. If the
wholesale, f. o. b., prices that are supposed
to rule, are realized, there will be no hard
ship to anyone, and the producers will do
remarkably well in the way Of earning
dividends Following is the latest circular

An Injunction Granted.

The court yesterday granted preliminary
injunction to restrain County Treasurer
Dechert from selling the lands of the Phila-
delphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company, in
Blythe township, for unpaid road taxes levied
in 1894 The bill in equity as filed by John
F. Whalen, Esq, states that the court ordered
the supervisor of Blythe township to enter
into a contract with the Lehigh Coal & Navi-
CATION Company for making and repairing
the roads of that township for the year 1894,
and the company carried out its contract.
Under this contract in accordance with the
provisions of the Losch Road Bill, the COM
pany claims the supervisor has no right to
levy n tax that he made no demand on the
Reading Company for taxes, which amounts
to S45O.47; and that the County Treasurer
has no authority by law to sell these lands

LEXINGTON, June 5.-The program of the
silverites in the Democratic state cOnyen
ton was carried out to the letter, and the
following We're elected legates-at-large,

The free silver men secured everything
fn the organization as well rs in the plat
form. The resolutions not only instruct
the Kentucky delegation for Senator
Blackburn for president but also for the
unit rule, so that the two delegates from
the Louisville district will have no voice
whatever at Chicago The free silver
men have the four delegates-at-large and
all the other delegates except the two from
the Fifth district. The more radical ones
wanted the committee on credentials to
unseat enough delegates in the Fifth dis
trict to change the selections made on
Wednesday, but with the unit rule, as
adopted Yesterday, this was unnecessary.
The Kentucky delegation stands "A to 2,
and under its instructions for Blackburn
and the unit rule it is the same as solid,
When some gold men protested against
the ironclad instructions they were cited
the case of New York, when thirty dele
gates from that state were against Cleve-
land at his first nomination in 1884, and
under the unit rule the whole vote was
cast for Cleveland, and again at the last
Democratic national convention it was
cast as a unit for Hill.
Blackburn and Hardin were free silver
running mates in the last campaign.
Rhea and Ellis, the other two delegates-at-
| large, have been the leading stump speak
ers in the free silver canvass which closed
| last Saturday, They are exceptionally
/ brilliant orators. Nelson ROthwell, Hal
! lam and Carroll, the alternates, were alsC
prominent for free silver in the canvass
as were Tarvin and Smith, the candidates
for electors. From expressions among
the Kentucky delegation it is learned thai
their second choice for president is Bland,
of Missouri.
