21S1 TONS
HARD COAL
IN TODAY
-Four Bargss Reach Providence
Laden With Anthracite and
More Expected Friday.

Today four barges laden with anthra-
cite coal reached this port, and the barge
Puritan, which arrived late yesterday
afternoon. $500 tons OF coal has been re-
ceived within the past "a hours.
OF these the Puritan. with 14l7, is for
the Eastern Coal company; the Pioneer
and Albatress, with GOO and 200 tons re-
speotively. with Scotch house coal, are
for John r. White a. Son the J II Atfi-
holland. with $40 tons is for the Provi-
dence Coal company. and the owen
Brady with 54l tons, is for the Consoli-
dated road
This makes a total Of 359S tons, and de-
Quoting the Sal tons for the Consolida ted
road leaves more than 5000 tons of coal
for the local dealers. OF this 5000 tons
100 Is Scotch coal shipped from New
York in barges.
Besides these barges the Marion Chap
pelle brought 1908 tons OF soft coal from
Norfolk for the Eastern Coal company,
the Sumner II. Mead brought 1854 tons OF
coal for the Eastern Coal company. the
barge William Decker brought 1872 tons
of soft coal for the Consolidated road. the
Richard Jackson brought $50 tons for the
Providence Gas company, the barge
the Consolidated road and the barge Bo-
quet 5S2 tons of soft coal for the Provi-
dence Coal company.
Ii will be seen that A considerable
amount Of soft coal has been received,
and there Is other cargoes afloat The
Eastern Coal company expects additional
cargoes I'm by Friday In the barge Parker.
and John r. White a Son expect other
barges OF coal during the week. Robert
r.. Smith company expects "A good sized
barge with hard coal the latter part of
the week and the Providence Coal com
pany will have more within the week 1t
is hoped.
IL will be seen that exclusive of what
arrived yesterday 5il3 tons of sofe coal
32bI tons II anthracite and 1895 tons has
been received Of both varieties by the
Consolidated road. The prices have not
been changed for coal today and the
prices -aekea-feF- -eoai- yesterday ubtHtrr.
John II. White q Son are selling a cargo
OF chestnut coal that arrived yesterday
for $3.50 ton. The price was quoted err
roneously yesterday.
The dealers believe that from now on
coal will be received i'm sufficient quantity
to meet the demands of the people but Il
will be sort of hand to mouth business,
for the supply that is obtainable will not
permit the dealers to sell to any customer
all the coal desired. With the dealers the
prospect appears somewhat brighter,
though they cannot get by any means
what coal is desired

treasurer slo.4s5.o6. and by the superin-
tendent Sill 1881 showing the ex-
penses TO have exceeded the income by

The report concluded as follows.
''The board of trustees expresses Its an
noyance and embarrassment at the nnan-
cial condition OF the institution. Its ex-
penses last year were s36.243. AZ more than

nut the income of a free bed at per
cent Is $3.50. while the care OF the patient
FOR a year requires an outlay of S41;
The Massachusetts, General hospital,
confronted by a similar difficulty in 1891,
limited Its number OF free beds TO l25;
The board OF trustees has scrutlniZed
fits diet lists, its drug bills its roll OF en-
ployes and cannot reduce its expenditure
without lowering the admimstra tive
standard which II has adopted and hith-
erto has maintained. IL can reduce It's
expenditure by closing one of Its wards
and hniting the number OF It's patients,
but this Is refusing 10 relieve distress and
throwing burden Of suffering on the

For the present the board OF trustees
can only make it's situation known aud
hope for relief
