The anthracite coal trade goes along about
rs heretofore, awaiting something to stimu-
late the demand and hoping for colder
weather to come. One of the coal presidents
in New York thought last week that he had
detected little more movement in anthra-
cite, and on this the stock market advanced
coal company shares. The improvement in
general business is likely to make more de-
mand for coal, but the dealers are not or
dering very much hcreabouts, as consumers
have not yet come home from vacations.
There is talk of an advance in prices for
next month, hut nothing tangible seems to

There may be an effort to maintain present
circular rates, hut this is likely to he the ex-

Two soldiers Meet Death While Re-
turning Welcoming Cheers.
Philadelphia, Aug. 24.-Two private
soldiers Of Battery X, First United
States artillery, were instantly killed
yesterday and two others seriously in
jured by having their heads crushed
against the iron Eirders of the rail-
road bridge at the Ridge avenue cross
ing of the PENNSYLVANIA railroad, in
this city The dead are Victor Teu-
sey, aged q years, of st. Louis, and
William Chichester, aged q, of Jersey
City. The injured are Harry Pulaski
and Peter Burns. The bodies of the
dead soldiers are at the morgue In this
city, while the injured were taken on
to Wnlctts Point, to which place the
men We're bound.
The command to which the men be-
longed were in a special train which
had taken them aboard at Tampa All
along the journey north the soldiers
were greeted with cheers. While pass
ing through this city their reception
was marked with additional enthusiasm.
AT the Ridge avenue station a large
crowd waved hats and handkerchiefs
as the train came along. The soldiers
leaned far out of the car windows and
steps and returned the welcome. Tue
sey stood far out on the lower step
and failed to notice the iron girders
supporting the bridge. His face was
completely crushed in. The other men
had been leaning from the windows.
The train was stopped and the dead
and injured We're picked up. The army
officers insisted upon taking the dead
men with them and the railroad and
police officials would not permit it.
A delay of an hour resulted, and 1t was
finally decided to leave the dead men
behind and take the injured along.
