George Sylvester Barrett, son OF Cur

Bituminous Coal in Demand.

Upon the state Of the trade in coal
circles, the COol Trade Journal remarks:
Btuminous coal seemed TO be about the
last thing to catch on with the improved
condition OF affairs, but now II can fair
ly be said TO be having It's inning, for
there is demand for all that can be
had In all directions. The Industrial
situation has been such for some time
past that there was no great increase
In the rolling stock Of the coal roads,
and now that the change for the better
has come, these lines are In no shape to
handle the traffic that is offered them.
We have for months contended that
soft coal would sell for more money this
year, and 1t Is keeping up to most san
guine expectations. There are people
who were not OF this way OF thinking,
and they are loaded up with a lot OF
business at low prices, and have no OPP
portunity for even little OF the good
things that are going; they will prob
ably know more next year.
Never In the history Of the trade in
Buffalo, has there been such scarcity
OF soft coal. The condition is such that
the situation practically amounts to a
famine. Something will have to be
done to relieve this situation, as, with
the present lack OF cars, II will be ut.
terly impossible for the shippers tc
supply the general trade. The prices
continue strong, and the dealers are al
most able to get their own figures foi
whatever they have on hand.

Boy Killed in a Clearing.

Clarence, thirteen-year-Old son OF
Tax Collector Amos Strouse, OF Wins
low township, was almost instant
ly killed Monday forenoon while
working on a clearing for his father.
Clarence had hooked his team to u
small log and was driving along at a
fast walk when one end of the short
log caught on a root, or something
else, and the other end flew up and
struck the boy on the side of the head,
fracturing the left side of his skull so
badly that he only lived about fifteen
minutes after the log struck him. Fun
eral services were held at the Syphrit
church at 200 p. m. yesterday afternoon
and the mortal remains of the lad were
buried in the Syphrit cemetery. The
funeral was a large one. Clarence was
an industrious boy and we'll liked.
