The Coal Supply.

Mr.. VIM. A. Snoot today received a
b at load of Cumberland coal by way OF
- Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and 1t
is thought that this and other invoices
which he hopes to obtain will prevent
the shutting down of Alexandria manu-
factories. Other dealers are receiving
small lots by railroad, and strenuous
efforts are being made to supply i'm
mediate demands until affairs shall have
resumed their normal con dition. Hard
coal is still being sold in small lots to
Alexandrians at slight advance over
former prices. With the moderate sup
ply of wood on hand and the limited
amount of hard and soft coal to be had,
people of this city are living in hopes
of bridging over the crisis through
which the country is passing, awaiting
the action of the president of the
miners union. There was decided
disappointment manifested throughout
the city this morning when 1t was
learned that the peace negotiations had
struck snag, and that another week
was to elapse before the country will
know what is to be the action Of Mr..
Mitchell. Considerable satisfaction was
expressed last night when people vino
left Washington after dark reported that
bulletins were posted in front
of newspaper Offices stating that the
strike was over and that the miners
would resume work this morning. The
happy dreams which followed were
shattered this morning when the true
state of the case was learned. During
the ordeal through which this country
has passed philanthropic people in many
places have performed acts which should
not be forgotten in DAYS which are to
follow the present uncertain condition OF
affairs. There are people in Alexandra
who have been actuated by similar I'M
pulses and have stood by those OF their
own city and refused the offer OF
enormous profits which would have ac-
crued to them had they disposed OF Their
entire stock of coal to dealers from other
cities. At this critical time it may be
opportune to mention one gentleman Mr.
VIM. A. Smoot who refused profit
of 1000 on bank of coal. Filled
with sense of duty to his own people,
he preferred to dispose of his stock in
small lots at a slight advance on former
prices in order that those among whom
he had been born and reared would ex-
perience the least inconvenience possible
during these trying times. The act
will not be forgotten-certainly not by
any one possessing the sense of gratitude
or appreciation of noble act.

SAILOR SAVED FROM
WRECK ON WAY HOME
Nearly Lost His Life in Ty-
phOOn in Indian Seas.

BALTIMORE. Dec. Capt Edwin
Kirwin received tidings several days
ago about a member OF his family whom
they had almost given up for lost, but
who. they have learned, is alive and
well and now on his way home.
Elmer II. Kirwin. the captains TWEEN
ty-year-old son. is expected home in a
week or so after an absence Of nearly
nine months. In that time he has Wis
tied a considerable portion Of the world,
and with a number Of others nearly lost
his life In a typhoon when some distance
out from Calcutta.
Young Kirwin left New York Febru-
airy on an English sailing ship as third
mate for Calcutta. The vessel arrived
safely at her destination and then took
on cargo for St Helena. While o. her
way to the latter port she vas caught in
the typhoon. dismasted, and toweJ back
10 Calcutta.
Kirwin spent several weeks az the
Sailors Home on St Helena, when he
wrote a letter 10 his mother The letter
was received on June IS and since then
no tidings OF the young man had T'cL
received until last week.
The information that Kirwin was on
his way home was received through the
United States vice cons Il at Calcutta.
The letter from the vice consul was in
response to an inquiry sent by Captain
Kirwin. and stated that young Kirwin,
after leaving the Sailors Home. shipped
coming homesick, applied 20 the vice
consul
The latter secured for him a berth as
second mate on an English vessel, bound
from Calcutta to New York. on which
vessel he is now crossing the ocean
