OF sympathy can maze more endura.
BILE. and often even to the midst Of
wealth and luxury there are those who
listen and long In vain for some expires.
sion OF dlsInterested kindness.
Speak to those while they can hear
and be helped by you. for the day may
come when oil our expressions of love
and appreciation may be unheard. I'm.
agine yourself standing beside their
last resting place. Think Of the things
you could have said Of them and to
them while they were yet living. Then

CARGOES OF COAL
Two BaTges and One Schooner
Load for Out Of City,

This morning two barges and one
schooner arrived in this city with coal
consigned to the Consolidated road, the
three cargoes amounting to 26sl tons. all
bituminous coal. The cargoes came in
the schooner David Biard from Philadel-
phia. which had 9S7 tons. in the barge
Expounder. which brought 1852 tons from
South Amboy. and the barge Sherwood,
which brought 542 tons from Port Read
ing. The barge Condor also brought In
a small cargo for Pawtucket.
There has been but little coal arrive
this week and the belief Is that the sup
ply does not by any means come up to
the demand. and that the city Is now
shorter of coal than ever before. There
is but little coal of any kind TO be
bought. Soft coal is being sold at $40 a
ton. and there is practically no price
placed on 1t. while the only anthracite
to be had is some buckwheat coal. owned
by the Providence Coal company and
John r. White e. Son.
There are several cargoes afoat for this
port which ought TO arrive within a day
or two. These cargoes are coming FOL
the Eastern Coal company and John r
White & Son. The supply OF wood does
not equal the demand and the owners q
wood OF any kind are delivering ii a:
fast as possible.

FR|GHTF(J[ DEED OF YOUNG
MANIAC At HOMESTEAD, PA.
NARROW ESCAPE
Mrs. Carter Was Just in Timt
to Save Her Children.

Wakefield, Mass, Oct. 10.-The two and
one half story house on Elm square,
owned by Mrs Daniel s. Carter. occu-
pied by Mrs. Carter and her children was
burned to the ground at $3.50 this morn
ing and the family had a narrow escape
from injury.
The barn adjoining the house was like
wise destroyed and is cows were burned
to death Mrs. Carter who was milking
the cows, saw the reflection upon one or
the windows She rushed TO the house
and awoke the children but by this time
the fire had spread through the house
and IL was with extreme difficulty and at
tended by many perils that the mother
was able to bring about the safety OF
the others of the family.
The house and barn were beyond saw
ing. Mss Carter and her family were
forced TO remain outside in the frosty air
and see their home disappear before their
ewes Mrs. Carter tried TO save some OF
the cows but her attempt was fruitless.
Neighbors early arrived at the scene and
rendered all assistance possible. The loss
includes $500 In cash, which Mrs. Carter
had placed in her room preparatory TO
depositing II In a bank. The loss Is es-
timated at $1,000. partly covered by insur-
ance II Is believed that the cause OF
the fire was the explosion Of a lamp
standing on the kitchen table
Later I'm the day. Mrs. Carter decided
that the cow which she had been milk
ing. kicked over the lantern which she
left in the barn when she rushed to the
house to save her children and this ac-
counted for the barn burning s!multa-
neously with the house.
The loss TO Mrs. Carter is all the more
OF a hardship because II Is necessary
for her to earn a livelihood for herself
and her children. Her husband died a
year ago and since that time she has
been carrying on a milk industry.
