PAYING HIGH PRICE FOR COAL.
RetaiIs Ur to 80 Cents Per Bushcl-
Reporfed Sales at 81 Per Ton.

Many of the larger coal merchants have
refused TO put their prices up, and are
delivering coal TO their customers as
rapidly as they can fill orders. but others
are charging prices more in keeping with
the demand. and the result is that many
people are paying nearly double the usual
figure for coal. In almost every instance
the small dealers have advanced the
charge. but they do not sell in ton lots.
At some places the charge made is as
high as 50 or so cents per bushel. which.
when figured on the basis of twenty-five
bushels TO the ton. makes the fuel cost
twice what IL would have done q week
ago Ii must be taken into considera-
ton. however, that getting coal hauled
has been very heavy.
The greatest demand has been for soft
coal. but hard coal Is said 20 have been

RICHMOND DOCTOR TREATED HIM.
But for the Assistance ~ DIR. Mae

The New Orleans Times-Democrat Of
last Friday. in its account of the attempt
ed suicide on a train Of Mr.. J. ii. Rufiin,
Of Rocky Mount, n. c.. says:
FORTUNATELY, DR.. II. Stuart MacLean,
Of Richmond. Va, who was en- route TO
New Orleans on another sleeper, was

he was travelling for little exercise.

agitation. Reaching the toilet-room no

flooded with blood. The flow had been
so great that the fluid was escaping under
the door before it was broken down.
when Dr. MacLean first looked at
Rufin he presented every appearance OF
being dead His lips were white and his
eyes presented a CLASSY appearance. The
Doctor tried 20 find a pulse beat in the
arm and then I'm the temple but there
was no indication OF life.
He then tried the heart. and found
that a spark Of lie was left. With this
discovery ne began work with a will.
The unfortunate man was placed on
door and carried TO the smoking-room,
where injections were made for the pur-
pose Of increasing the heart beat. In the
meantime his arms had been banoaged
with improvised appliances. and Or. Mac
Lean had borrowed needle and thread
from a lady on the train for the purpose
Of sewing up the arteries. close IN

main arteries had not been severed. Only
the smaller arteries and leaders had been
cut in each arm, Ruffn using penknife.
first pushing the blade I'm the flesh under
the arteries and then prying 1t upward.
As the main arteries were not severed.
and as nearly all the blood had escaped
from the smaller ones, the wounds were
simply dressed.
"Dr. MacIean thinks Ruflin must have
lost as much as three pints OF blood, and
this would have produced death In per-
son Of less robust constitution. Fortu-
natelv. however Ruflin Is a large. strong
man physically and In the prime OF life,
being apparently between 10 and 10 years
OF age.
when RufIin was discovered he was
unconscious. but under the skllful treat

assistance rendered by DR.. MacLean
