PRICE OF COAL
ADVANCES ANOTHER
dollar A TON
This is the Second Advance of
a Dollar in a
Few Days.
INCREASE In EFFECT TODAY
Local Dealers do Not Know How
Soon There May be Another
Increase---No Signs ofa
Speedy Settlement
of the Strike.
INCREASE In EFFECT TODAY

Another big advance in the price Of
family coal takes place this morning
All retail dealers of this city will today
add one dollar a ton to the price of all
grades of coal This is the second adj
vance Of IL dollar within few days, the
last advance going into effect last Fri
day.
The latest schedule of prices will be-:
Stove, nut and egg, $500 ton; pea coal
$6.75 Il ton.
There is comparatively little coal in
the various coal yards about the city
and dealers cannot profit therefore by
the advance.
Il. r. Warner Of Warner ~ Co.. said
last night that al the coal they had in
stock was sold and that what coal they
received from now on had to be pur-
chased by them from the operators ut
whatever price they might choose to
ask.
Things are said to look pretty blue in
the coal regions. The L. & II. Coal and
Iron Co.. still has fourteen of its collier
les now working in the PottSville region
and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has four of its affiliated colleries in oper-
alton and there are also Il few individual
mines still working.
The r. X Il. Coal and Iron Company
started up an additional collery yester-
day, the one ut Vaudeville. The general
manager has about 10000 tons of coal on
hand. but is selling as little as possible
until the outlook becomes brighter for n
general resumption of all the Reading
collprieS.
Dealers here are unable to say how
soon there will he another advance
There is no sign Of break in the strike
There has been Il slight raise in the
price of soft coal.

Heard From.

The jury at Hagerstown two weeks
ago brought in verdict acqultting
the pulp mill people of poluting the
Potomac river.
The Cumberland Necs copied some
views of the verdict and closed with
the announcement that
The FRosrBuRG MINING JOURNAL is yet to
be heard from.
The verdict is far enough in accord
with the JOURNALS position for it to
state that, as usual, it is on the right
side
The trial at Hagerstown was as fair
aa such test of conflicting rights can
be. The court held the balances of
impartiality with delicacy of pre-
cision that was almost painful.
Had the jury, first polled s to for
acquittal, eventually gone with the
minority not syllable against the
courts rulings would ever have been
heard.
Orif the rulings had been questioned,
the very people now condemning would
be not ogly defending, but rejoicing
over them.
Enough has now transpired to show
that, not only should no new law
enac;ing the exclusion of certain evil
dence or affecting river pollution in
any way, be placed on the statute
book, but those thereon should be re-
pealed and swept out of civilization as
relies of the period when the lamb had
no rights that the wolf was bound to
respect.

-(the JOURNAL believes the fellow
wouldn't deny it, but gives itself the
benefit of the dOubt.)
The pulp-mill got Hail Columbia" ,"
the Creek papers slightly impeached
and even the court did not escape.
If the meeting, according to accounts
received. had not been revolutionary
a synopsis would be attempted.
But the feeling of Indignation, as
reflected by the speeches, couldn't
have been more ill-natured had the
Hagerstown jury, instead of finding
the pulp mill mot guilty. acquitted
the gold standard.
Another meeting was held Satur-
day evening-the third just preced-
ing term of court.
a long paper, projected at the
previous meeting, was read-In pur-
pose, tone and literary style far in
ferior to the Declaration of lnde-
pendence.
The program, however, was mainly
in the hands of the gold-standard con.
tingent, the silver democrats, social
lists and other religious and political
curios having been somehow rele,
gated to the seats that are back.
Senator Wellington delivered a
speech which made up for all the
crawtishing from the echoes of the
previous meeting-a speech which
more eloquently and more agonizing-
ly showed Cumberland's sore toe to a
smiling world than all the emotional
delrium that preceded or followed it.
1t was vociferously applauded-alike
by his friends and those who in politics
utterly despise him. 1t was a deliver
ance which assailed at least the CONE
petence of the court and Iikened the
law as laid down in Washington" to
the pollution of the Potomac river
And this demoralzing sentiment, it
must be again stated, was applauded
