porters, Francois and Joseph Tournier,
were killed by an avalanche on the grand
plateau of Mont Blanc in October, 1866.
The bodies of the guide and porters were
found after a week, but Captain Ark
wright's body was recovered from the
ice only on Sunday last, 5000 feet below
where he died. All except the feet and
head were recovered. The right hand
was marvelously lifelike. The ice had
preserved in it the red tint of blood.
From the pocket Of his gray wastcoat
was drawn a white blue-bordered hand
kerchief as good as new, with his name
on it.
The deceased officers collar had in 1t
a gold stud and in his shirt front was a
larger one set with a diamond star. The
debris of a silver cigarette case was in
his pocket, and his gold watch and chain
were on the ice near where the body was
found. The Justice Of the Peace, the

held an inquest over the remains found
after lapse Of thirty yearsin the shadow

COAL PRICES
PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 2S.-By the
end of next week all the coal on the Mo-
river will be practically in
the hands of one firm, and the prices will
be made by the lucky possessors of the
valuable mineral. There has been a
steady increase in the price of coal all
the week, and at the present run of mine
coal brings from Oh to 101a cents When
the present strike began the firm of John
H. Jones & Co. saw that prices must ad-
vance, and they quietly went to work
and bought coal everywhere they could
at prices which now seem very cheap.
They have been keeping this coal, and
now practically control the coal trade in
his vicinity.
When seen today Mr.. Jones refused to
'ay just how much coal they had, but
admitted that the amount was over $780,
300 bushels. Inquiries among other coal
irms developed the fact that there was
,ery little coal outside of that held by
Jones & Co., and that firm would be
lble to get their own prices.
