FIX COAL PRICE
AT So A TON.
Price May Prevail in the Local
Market Until Decem-
ber lst.
NOT MUCH COAL HERE YET
Speculation Rife as to Wheth-
er Coal Road Managers
Will Sell to Whining
tOnians.

Wilmington coal dealers held II
meeting yesterday afternoon and
fixed a schedule of prices to be
charged Wilmington consumers Of
coal until there is a reduction in the
wholesale price.
The prices agreed upon are: Brok-
en-, egg, stove and chestnut sizes So
a ton; $40 half-ton; $2. Is quarter
ton; family pea coal, Sc. so a ton,
1886 half ton, and $1.S0 quarter
ton. These are Ne prices for coal
delivered in chute wagons or Oh the
pavement, and there will be an ad-
ditional charge Of 25 cents a ton if
the coal has to be carried in baskets.
All the local dealers attended the
lnat ting and when the prices had
been agreed grpon a circular letter,
was approved, setting forth the
price which went into effect this
morning. The Reading Railroad
will supply Philadelphia and this
section with coal.
Tle Railing Gal an Iroa Com
1uny has notified tho local dealers
that they expect to be able to de-
liver coal in Wilmington before
long at y Price less than the dealers
row have to pay, on condition that
it is sold to the consumers at re-
duction and distributed in small
quantities, 50 that as many consum-
ers as possible can enjoy the reduc-
ed supply.
The coal prices fixed Yesterday
will probably rule until December
LIST, and after that date may drop
SO cents ton, if the Reading takes
off the so cents a ton it has added to
the prices furnished retailers.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany are preparing their scale of
prices, and they will be the same as
those announced by the Reading.
Speculation was rife to-day as to
whether the coal road managers
would refuse to sell coal to the Will
mington dealers who have decided
to ask more than the operators con-
slider fair price.
One Of the largest retail dealers in
the city thus voiced the sentiment
Of his asso:iates:-"We are perfect
ly wiling to sell coal at u fair price
and for fair profit, but when our
customers demand coal we have to
sell it according to what we can buy
it for. As a matter Of fact, little or
no coal has yet arrived from the
Mines and the coal on the market
is still that which is in the hands of
spectators.
When the presidents of the coal
roads hold their regular weekly
meeting to-day, one Of the most i'm
portant matters to be discussed will
he the price that shall be charged
for coal. The Reading. which an
nounced an advance from -. so to IS
a ton may be asked to drop!o $A75,
upon which all the roads could
agree, and the general subject of de-
clinlng to sell to dealers who charge
mora than what the operators con-
slider a fair price will be discussed.
SOFT COAL CHEAPER
Local coal dealers have reduced
the price of soft coal to IS ton to !;
those consumers who use is for |
steanlnS purposes. 70 consumers
who use it for other purposes or for
domestic use the fI1ntrIllGtof S.
will still prevail.

IMPROVING GROUNDS
Prisoners Are Shown Unusual
Kindness by Warden Meserye

The grounds of the New Castle
County Workhouse at Greelbank
are being extensively improved, the
work being done by the prisoners
under the supervision CT Warden
Meserve and The guards.
Il hedge will be placed around the
grounds which are being lcYelIed
and soaded. The hedge will be
close one about three or four feet
high.
The prisoners are not worked
under ball and chain, as is the gen.
eral custom at penal institutions,
neither are they dressed in the work
house uniform, and, but for the
presence Of a vigilant guard here
and there, one would not know, frcm
appearances, that the workmen
we're prisoners. This kindness
which is unusual, is greatly appreciat-
ed by the inmates Of the workhouse.

CITY JUDGE
DEFENDS HIMSELF.

City Court Judge E. r. Cochran
this morning isslled a statement to
two afternoon papers, not includ-
ing The DAILY REPUBLICAN,. in which
he denies statements made in The
DAILY REPUBLICAN and q morning
paper thu! he r.a,litted fines in five
ta53s on last Friday week in order
that the prisoners who VIZ Demo
crafts. might register on the final
Registration day.
Concerning the negro Republi-
cans in whose behalf Judge Cochran
refused to exercise his power of
parlon, the Ju lse says tho men
were not deserving Of cle,nency,
their offences against the lay being
such as to warrant the serving out
of the terms of Imprisonment to
which they We're santanCel by him.
The case Of Edward Rodgers,
Democrat, presents some interest
ing disclosures from a political
point Of view. Rodger; was arrest
ell several days before the final
registration day ind although CON
fined i'll the WOrkhOus" in default of
payment OF tiue, Judge Cochran
allowe.l him to 90. only to be con-
fronted by him in the City Court the
next morning. A fine Of So and costs
was imposed the second time and
remitted again in time to allow
Rodgers to get his name on tho
registration books.
Philip L. Garrett, Deputy City
Solicitor, said that ho never knew
Judge Cochran to impose a heavy
fine for partisan purposes nor to i'e-
NIT fine for political purposes.
