FUNERAL OF MAI. MERRILL.
Died in This City Yesterday After
noon After a Long Illness.

Major James c. Merrill, surgeon, s. A,
died in his apartments at the Portland yes
terday afternoon after a long illness. Brief
funeral services were held over his re-
mains at the hotel this afternoon, at the
conclusion of which the remains were re-
moved to Boston for interment. There was
large attendance of medical officers and
others, including Surgeon General OReilly.
The bodybearers were eight members of the
company of instruction of the hospital
corps.
Major Merrill was one of the brightest
minds in the medical department, but was
handicapped by physical infirmities. A
graduate of Harvard College and of the
medical department of the University of
pennsylvania, he entered the army in June,
1870, and reached the grade of major and
surgeon in March, 1894. His last service
was as librarian of the Army Medical Mu-
scum in this city. In addition to being a
master of eight languages he was an au-
thorty on natural history, especially the
branch of ornithology.

FIX PRICE OF ANTHRACITE.
Local Dealers Agree to Sell at $7.2s
Per Ton.

The Association of Washington Coal
Dealers held a meeting yesterday after
noon which lasted more than two hours,
during which the local coal situation was
discussed from every side and S7.25 was
agreed upon as the average price of anthra-
cite coal in the city of Washington for the
approaching winter.
The association put itself on record as de-
string to protect the consumer, and passed
resolutions agreeing not to raise the price
of anthracite from the standard of last
year unless the members were required to
pay more for the product at the mines.
The price of chestnut and egg coal last
winter was 1913 a ton. According to the
circular ISSUED last week by President Baer
of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company, there will be an increase Of
30 cents ton at the mines. There is little
if any hard coal in Washington at present
and the dealers are unable to predict when
there viii be any shipments.
