CITY IS WITHOUT COAL.


New York. Oct. 2. ~ Not a ton 81
anthracite coal can be had here al any
price, says Rochester, N. ", dispatch
to the Times. Sidewalk inspectors
report that in the outlying districts
residents are tearing up the sidewalks
and using them for fuel. Altogether
several miles Of plank walks have been
pried up with crowbars and carried off.
In some sections, canal bridses have
been stripped Of planking. Piles Of
new lumber left on the streets for re-
pairs also have disappeared.
Hospitals Of New York city are
threatened with being seriously affect
ed By the scarcity Of coal. The ].
Hood Wright hospital has only enough
| TO last this week, while Sc. Luke 4 vas
so fortunate as 10 obtain q cargo OF 24O
tons about week ago--enough to last
tao months. st. Mary's hospital for
children has practically no supply Of
steam coal, and is using furnace coal,
of which it has about 25 tons. This
condition prevails at many other in
stitusions.
II was said at the Office of the chari-
ties department that no real distress
has been experienced in any Of the
city's charitable institutions.
The price Of anthracite has reached
s2I, but some retailers are peddling
out their small supply at SIS or SIG
to old customers. Importation Of
Welsh anthracite and French bitumin-
ous can in no way relieve the situation,
for the few cargoes that have been
landed are Of little account. There are
only about 5000 tons of this coal now
on the way, but orders have been placed
this week for over 25 900 tons. At
least month is required, however, to
I'll the orders. The cost of importing
Welsh coal under normal conditions is
about 81.

she would take his hand he would be-

He suffered stroke Of paralysis two

yesterday afternoon, with failure 10

to enter into an agreement to abide by
the terms fixed by the arbitration for
q period Of one to fye years; and the
employers, through the presidents of
the railroad companies and promi-
nent mine operator, had squarely re-
fused arbitration, had denounced the
miners labor organization as Iawless
and anarchistic body, with which they
could and would have no dealings; had
demanded federal troops to insure COM
plete protection to workers and their
families in the mining region, and
court proceedings against the miners
union, and had offered. II the men re-
turned to work, to submit grievances at
individual collieries t. the decision Of
the judges OF the court OF common pleas
for the district of Pennsylvania in
which the colliery was located. There
the matter closed. Last night both the
miners and the operators remained in
the city, but today they returned to
their several localities, saying that the
struggle will continue.
