The Price of Coal.
The Stroudsburg Jeffersouian of last
week oomplains of the high price of coal
at that place, which, it alleges, sells, at
the Stroudsburg Depot for $9 per tou for
Chesnut coal, audSD. 70 for Stove. The
papers of the large cities, are also loud in
their complaints, because of prices which
are proportionately higher, even, than at
Stroudsburg. "We think both complaints
have justice in them, and that there should
be some means by winch an evil so griev
ous could be redressed. There is no
earthly reason for these high prices, save
that which exists in the greed of llail
road companies aud speculators to swell
their dividends beyond all reason ; and it
is an outrage that, because of their rapa
city, consumers of coal all over tiie coun
try should be literally robbed, that the
profits ou the employment of capital may
grow to a most marvelous figure. As
much as an' one we desire to see this
sectiou of country prosperous, and our
companies, by which it has been, in a
great measure, built up, flourishing; but
it is not necessary that the whole outside
country should be swindled to secure this,
nor is it just that our companies should
be managed solely with a 'view to
their own aggraiidizemeut. lu the seek
ing of corporate privileges v from our Lc
gislature the view is always placed upper
most, that the public would be benefitted
by their granting; and it should be an
unalterable rule in their conduct, that the
interests of that public should not be
swamped in an inordinate scramble to
line the pockets of the stockholders with
'greenbacks." But the reverse is really
the case; and the securing of the Wil
ling ty dollar" has become far more of an
object, than the accomplishment of any
good to ousiders. The question is not
one of general utility, but one, altogether,
of special profit.
A reasonable profit on the capital in
vested no one could or would object to.
Indeed it had long ago become a settled
thing, that it was reasonable to grant a
profit to corporations which, in the ordi
nary business transactions, would be con
sidored unseasonable ; but when that pro
fit amounts to an absolute robbery ; when
the principle which secures it is the same
which secures for him who demands
"your purse or your life," a speedy yield
ing up of your valuables, it becomes a
crying evil, and one which the law should

Take the prices of coal at Stroudsbur
as an example ol the evil which this r
venous greed of companies can and doe
inflict. The average price, per ton, charg
ed the people ol that locality, by the rai
road company, which has the monopoly
of t lie market, is $9,35. The cost of the
coal to the company, on the cars, on the
track and ready for transportotion is $1
85 per tou. The price charged for trans
portation by the compan',
during the
strike, and when it couid get no coal to
run ou its own account, to Stroudsburg, on
the hrst lot run bv individuals, was $1,95
per ton. This was considered, at the time
by the company, a full equivalent for the
service rendered, and makes the cost of coa

company 3 cents per ton per mile to run

It was a cause of sad complaining on
the part of the company, and a some
thing not to be endured, that the miners
were beyond all reasou in their resistance
to a reduction of nine per cent on their
wages. "What can be said for the eompany
uow that, the miners having goneto work
on their demand, they raise the price of coal
on consumers full fifty per ceut above
the very uureasonabic profit, even, which
they were receiving when they instituted
the strike. If it was wrong for the miners
to as.-ist the reduction, it is thribly wrong
for the company to insist upon a raise in
the price of coal, with no increased dem
and upon its coffee for labor or for the
material necessary iu the conduct oi its
business.

By way of Barbadoes we have news o
a most disastrous hurricane at Guadaloup
on the Gib inst. It appears that unti
six o'clock in the evening of that day
there was nothing to indicate an appaoach
ing storm, but at that hour the wind sud
denly shifted to the northeast aud blew
most furiously. In Grands Bourg. the
town of Marie Galante, many houses were
torn up and blown away piecemeal to con
sidcrable distances. States and sheets
of 7.inc flew about in all directions. The
public hospital was blown down, killiug
or wounding the inmates. In the quar
ter of Grande Bourg alone thirty-six per
sous were killed aud fifty-nine wounded
Basseterre and Saints also suffered dread
fully. The loss of life and property must
have bsen immense, but had. not been as
certaiccd when our accounts left.
Since the above was m type, we have
received confirmation of tne sad news re
corded above, and it appears the devasta
tion and loss of life was still greater than
we at first supposed. The loss of life i
now stated between two and three bund

destroyed, and scarcely a tree is to be
seen standing , many vessels, too, are mis

THHEE MEN TORN TO PIECES.
A Large Boiler Thrown Twelve
EButitlred Feet.
A Manufacturing Establishment Com
pletely Wrecked.
In the small settlement known as Bla-zin"-
Star, about five miles from Railway,
N J., the boiler of Johu A. Steinhauser's
establishment for preparing phosphate of
lime exploded about five o'clock Tuesday
afternoon with such terrible effect that
the building, a frame 100 feet square, was
entirely wrecked, and the tabular boiler
14J by 10 feet, hurled'to a distance of
400 yards from the place, and 100 feet
high, when it struck the earth, throwing
up the dirt to a great bight, aud then re
bounded 85 feet further.
A uunibcr of mcu were in the build
ing, aud three of them who stood near
the boiler were killed, two of them in
stantly, but the third lived until the fol
lowing morning.
The names of the killed were A. F.
Beyse, Superintendent, a resident of the
vicniity; J Master, boiler-maker of this
city, and J. Broush, of Williamsburgh.
Boysc's clothes were torn completely from
his body, and Broush's skull was crushed
to atoms, rendering it probable that nei
ther of the two unfortunate men was con
scious of the least suffering. Master did
uot believe he was seriously hurt, and the
following lnorniti"- was walking about
- - - - o o
when he complained 'of a difficulty o
breathing. II is respiration grew shorter
and shorter for two or three hours when
he expired.
The accideut is ascribed to the defec
tive steam-gauge which was purchased in
this city. Mr. Beyse had no idea of the
quantity of steam in the boiler (and he
was an experienced engineer, having
been in one of our gunboats, aud on the
Otsego at the time of her destruction by
a torpedo) aud therefore anticipated no
danger, supposing the guage would indi
cate the pressure upon the boiler.
All of the killed were men of family
and their remains were promptly cared
for by Mr. Steinhauser, and iots purchas
ed for their interment iu Greenwood
Cemetery. He has also gonerouslyoffcr
ored to provide, we understand, for the
4 '
widow aud childreu of the Superintend
eut.
A strange circumstance connected witl
the casuality is that Beyse seemed to hate
a prcmouition of his fate. When he was
in New-York last Monday with Steinhau
ser, he said he felt a strong disposition to
have his life insured, and returning home
asked his wife where she woula have him
buried in the event of his being killed
saying he felt as if something were about
to happen to him.
The boiler had 163 tubes, which were
thrown 100 feet apart, aud this fact, with
the tremendous force of the explosion
indicates that there must have been at
least lou pounds or steam to tne square
inch. Fribune..

Petroleum as FueL
The New York Petroleum Light Company
has compleatcd its series of experiments, and
have now obtained practical results, satis
factory to the companj, that crude petroleum
can with safety and economy be burnt as
fuel, on a large scale, under locomotive, sta
tionary, and marine boilers, producing' a
heat of great intensity, free from smoke, soot,
ashes, &c. After a few private exhbitions
to parties interested, it is proposed by the
company lo make practical demonsrations,
which will show the nublic the value of
petroleum ns a fuel, in every department
where coal or wood is used.
It the exhibitions to the public prove as
satisfactory as those recently made, are to
the company, there will be a valuable addi
tion to lhe wealth already developed in the
petroleum interest, and steamers from New
York to Shanghai will require less bulk of
petroleum as fuel tnan has been occupied
with coal for the passage to Liverpool.
