COAL MAY ADVANCE.
IT CANNOT BE DELIVERED HERE
AT THE PRICE THAT IT SELLS
FOR NOW

There Will be n rise in the price of
anthracite coal here. In fact, 1t may
be said that the price has already adj
vanced. because no new supply of coal
can be obtained now.
One prominent coal dealer, speaking
to reporter for the Nirginian-Pilct
yesterday afternoon. said my firm has
ordered several cargoes--that is ship
loads--of coal at the agents own price
but they arc not to be had. No accept
ance OF the order has come. Con-
tinuing. the same coal dealer said that
there is a good supply OF coal in Nor
FOLK. but IL is all or nearly all. en-
gagged. Our yards for instance. are fun
of coal. but it is held there for future
delivery. While the stock OF anthracite
coal here now is large, perhaps larger
than usual. it is not sufficient to last
longer than Christmas.
Thus. While the price Of hard coal
here is $3.50 a ton. it could not be de-
iiNercu here from the mines ut that
price. The coal dealers, therefore, are
not taking any orders for future de-
livery at that price, nor at any price.
because they have no assurance that
they can get the coal
Another dealer said: Coal is now
bringing SO at retail III Baltimore, 81 in
New York ana $3.50 in Petersburg, the
Last named being the price for 1000
pounds"
Another dealer said that an unusual
number of orders FOR future delivery
were being received most of his pres
cnt stock being already sold.
Speaking of bituminous coal. called
splnt coal. lie said that it is selling
here for 81 to $3.50 ton. If the strike
continues in the anthracite coal mining
region the price OF hard coal will ad-
vance. and it will become so scarce
that the consumption of splint or btu
minous coal viii be greater. Just now.
however, there is no real change in the
price OF coal and there is a sufficient
stock. but the advance is so imminent.
because OF the apprehension of a
famine. that some dealers already quote
the rise. That is. they Will not en-
gage to deliver coal they have not got
at the present price.

an up-to-date style of meludrama,

doubt whether one is in the theatre

there are fifteen in the play. There is
no doubling the ability of Sherlock
Holmes to take care of himself as the

lectures as to haw he will do it. He
stands forth as Il human being. and as
such likely to err, and the interest

THE wooD-PARkER TRIAL
INVESTIGATION ENDED IN CASE
OF THE ESSEX-DURYEA COLI
LISBON

Testimony in the case of Capt. II. E.
Wood. of the tug Duryea, and Capt. ID.
a. w. Parker. OF the steamer Essex. Is
finished. The case came before the
Local Board of Steamboat Inspectors,
Nlessrs. a. Y. Johnson and j. w. Mich
Olson. 1t arose from the collision which
occurred here on June 30 between the
steamer Essex and the Old Dominion
steamship Company's barge and the
tug Duryea, in which nineteen lives
We're lost.
The damage questions resulting from
the loss of life have probably all been
settled by compromise and agreement.
but the question still remains as to
whether either or both captains. in
commend of the vessels in collision,
violated the rules of the road.
That is the subject of testimony and
examination before the local board
here. Many witnesses were examined
and a great mass of testimony has been
accumulated. That must be type
written and compared before the local
board can make its report.
The penalty, in case the captains are
guilty of violating the rules of the
road, is that they shall be suspended, or
that the licenses shall he cancelled. 1t
Will be several weeks, or months, per-
haps, before the verdict will be rem

Observation-Disclosures in Collision.

The steamer Norfolk on the Roads,
owned by the Norfolk and Atlantic
Terminal Company and used for ferry
ing purposes between Sewall'S Point
ana old Point Comfort. had a mishap
about o'clock Wednesday night.
II seems that the machinery of the
steamer soon after leaving Old Point
got out of order. In attempting to am
chor il was found that the chain of the
same was too short. The vessel was
thus helpless and drifted for some
time. She finally coliidcd with the
schooner Lupton, Mt anchor in the
Roads.
rho schooner is reported uninjured,
but not so with the Norfolk on the
Roads. She mad her joiner work con-
sidcrably damaged. and was later tow
ed to Colonna's railway in Berkeley,
where she is being repaired. and will
most likely resume her trips this after
noon.
The Norfolk on the Roads had aboard
some twenty-five or thirty passengers
tor Sewans Point. These. however
were looked after by the steamer
Ocean View. of the Willoughby Spit
line, which went to the assistance OF
the disabled steamer and kindly cared
for the unfortunate and belated voy-
agerS.
