DANGERS OF POSTAL SERVICE.

One clerk was busy throwing mail in
a combination smoker and baggage car,
when suddenly, without an instant's
warning, he felt the car leap from the
track and heard terrific crash. When
he regained consciousness the wreck
presented this chaotic condition: the
Two forward cars had been plunged
down seVentyfoot embankment; the
combination car landed in an upright
position with the rear trucks on the
roof. every seat in the smoking COM
rartment being utterly demolished,
while on the floor of the mail compart-
,nent was a huge angular stone weigh
ing not less than half ton. How the
mail clerk escaped unhurt will always
be a mystery.
There is probably no department of
the government service In which u
higher standard of devotion to duty is
maintained than in this. During Il
heavy freshet on the Susquehanna river
in 1890 all bridges were swept away and
the railroad tracks along the banks

floating sidewalks and other debris of

carefully propellng by poles along with

PATRICK CASE UP AGAIN.
Attorney Wants to Know If 6 Months
 Law Applies.

Albany, N. Y, October 6.-Edward Koh- Ter, representing George C. Tomlinson, counsel for Albert T. Patrick, now under sentence of death for the murder of the aged millionaire M. Rice, in New York city. appeared before the court of appeals today and asked for a ruling as to whether the law passed by the last legis- lature limiting to six months the time within which appeals in murder cases must be argued applies to this case.
 MT. Kohler stated that if the law does apply the appeal must be argued at the present term unless the court grants an extension of time, which it has the power to do. He said that he could not get the appeal completed before January 1 and that District Attorney Jerome desired the argument set for the May term. He ex- plained in answer to a question by Judge Parker that this long postponement was deemed necessary of the voluminous na- ture of the testimony, the action having taken two months to try. The court took papers and reserved decision.

ENGLISH COAL
 COMING TO U. s.
100000 TONS WERE SOLD ON THE NEWCASTLE EXCHANGE YEs- TERoAY FOR SHIPMENT TO AMERlcA-HIoH PRICES PAID.

London, October 6.--According to tel egram from Newcastle 100000 tons of coal were sold on the Newcastle coal exchange toeay for shipment to America
 Reports from Cardiff say that twenty five steamers have been secured for early sailing from Wales ports for New York and Boston and it is sai~ that American purchasers during the last week at Car diff alone totalied 100000 tons of which SOeO0 tons was for New York. The pur- chases at swancea last week totalled 10000 tons.
 1t is estimated that the Welsh sales of coal for America aggregate 100000 tons since the rush began.
 Anthracite coal is now quoted at tho highest price which it has ever reached in this country.
 A prominent dealer on the coal ex- change said to a representative of the Associated Press today:
 T should not be surprised if retail coal next few weeks"
 A representative of a big Swansea an- thracite company said:
 While we are selling every ton of hard coal we can spare for America, the increase in price is affecting us adversely in another way. We have spent 5000 yearly during the last ten years to pop ularize anthracite for house use in Lng- lard. We have kepe up stove stores and agents in London and elsewhere, and we were just beginning to make headway. and now this big jump in prices threat ems to put back our crusade for several years at least"
 The French miners Strike has not yet affected the Welsh market, but if if spr eads there will undoubtedly be a fur ther advance in prices.
