Coal News.
- | Iho Kpringbr. oik correspondent of
' the I’ittston Come/ says: “From
j this ditto, Hus locality begins its ea
! teet' of growth anil prosperity. No
■ locality in the Anthracite Coal re
. gions has a brighter future in pros
pent. Ihe G’lenwooil Cuul Co. has
! ! already commenced work on their
new breaker near the depot, and
I Messrs, bhlifer, I.none and others,
have broken ground to develop the
best coal lands ever opened in this
. county-. The former company- ex
; pect to complete their work by the
early- part of April, intending to cm
l ploy as large a force of workmen as
jean be employed to advantage,
j The present outlook, (in view of the
I improvements meditated,) promises
! for Spmgbrook the existence of a
city at no aistaut day. The Pctina.
Coal Co. are also about to sink a
; shaft near here, and will commence
1 operations very soon.”
| For a week or two past the ship
ments of coal by the canal have been
I light, owing to a scarcity of schoon
ers at Georgetown and Alexandria,
fir the transhipment of cargoes to
Northern ports. The Washington
Star, of Saturday, states that there
was not then a single sailing vessel
in port, while the wharves were
piled high with coal awaiting ship
ment, and many loaded boats were
lying in the canal and could not be
unloaded until some arrangements
are made for the disposal of their
cargoes.— Allrgnv'an.
Hammett, Neill & Co.’s Circular
of the 11 th says :
The trade during the week has
been dull and heavy, and prices at
tide-water are barely maintainc I.
Private sales have been made be
low the current quotations, and in
New York cargoes afloat have been i
sold at. an abatement of one dollar
per t,\, t below the extreme rates,
ask'd ten days ago.
Dealers arc holding back, not so
much with a view of reducing prices
as to rid themselves of the coal
bought during September.
The moderate weather has seri
ously checked the retail demand at
all points, which during the last
part of September had become ex
cessive.
Coal is accumulating at shipping
points, but the stocks still remain
light.
Vessels continue in abundant sup
ply, and rates both to New York
and Eastern ports are firm at our j
quotations.

Bituminous.—Cumberland Coals
remain unchanged. There has been
a little extra demand among manu
facturers, .who have to re-supply the
goods destroyed at Chicago. Pri
ces remain unchanged.
Retail.—The warm weather lias
checked retail sales a trifle ; but gen
erally families are buying freely.
The Pottsville (Pa.) Journal says:
“All parties concerned, miners,
laborers and operators cannot be i
too particular in the preparation of
the coal, as sometimes even one or
two cargoes of poor coal will depress
.m otherwise good market.”
Homicide.— On Saturday forenoon
last, near Bridgeport, Pa., two men,
named John Mediae and John
McGintry, employed as laborers for
Messrs. Lowry it Williamson, con
tractors on the line of the Bedford
and Bridgeport railroad, got into a
fracas at Mediae's house, in which
encounter Mr. Mediae was stabbed
in the side with a pocket knife by
McGintry and fatally injured.—
After the stabbing, McGintry fled to
the woods, carrying with him an
axe, threatening to kill anyone that
molested him. A party of eight
men including a constable, went in
pursuit of him, and lie was discover
el, hid behind a large rock. On the
approach of the constable with his j
posse, McGintry refused to surreu
ler, and showed fight, brandishing
the axe with apparent determination
to use it on anyone that came with-'
i i reach. lie was finally knocked
down with a club and secured, and
was taken before a Justice of the
Peace, at Bridgeport, and commit
ted to Bedford county jail.
Met line survived his injuries
about twenty four limits, dying on
Sunday morning about 10 o’clock.
His remains were brought to Gum-
I berland for interment in St. Pat-
J rick’s buiiul gin und.
The deceased was about 28 years
of age and leav s a wife. McGin

Baltimore Municipal Election.
f: A dispatch from Baltimore, on the
t ] 2.-th, to the Dailj Newt, lias the fol
lowing :
i At the municipal election to-day
-for Mayor and both branches of the
I ( ity Council, Hon. Joshua Vansant,
* j the democratic candidate for Mayor,
:■ | receive,! 18,037 votes ; Charles Ditn-
I I lap, 10,023. Varisant’s majority,
. 7,211. Vansant had a majority in
- all the wards. In the first branch
i of the City Council all the democrat
ic candidates are elected, except in
1 the 15th ward, where James [lughos,
the reform candidate, is elected over
j Geo. U. Barry, Democrat, by two !
j majority. Tins branch stands 19 j
Democrats ami one reform. In the
| second branch, composed of ten !
] members, ail the democratic candi
| dates are elected, except probably,
in the district composed of the 15th
and lfilh wards, where the result is
in doubt and a re-count of the votes
is necessary to determine tlie result.
The republicans had no ticket in
the field but supported the reform
candidates. The el etion was very
quiet.
Iho National Insurance Conven
tion of State Insurance Officers,
which re assembled in New York on
the 18th inst., to which dite the
body had adjourned over from June
2d, last, was attended by delegates
from twenty-five States of the
Union.
The recent great fire lias so com
pletely unsettled all previous calcu
lations of risks, that their meeting
will, probably, be an important one
in the annals of Insurance. A more
rigid examination and careful accep
tance or risks, and higher premium
rates will, doubtless, be the result.
Encke’s Great Comet is now on its \
i way towards the perihelion, which it will j
reach in January next. This comet will
be telescopically visible some months pre
viously, but it is not an object of special in
terest to those whose vision is unaided br
im truments. This comet is principally of
interest because its period of revolution lias
diminished to about the extent of three
days in the past eighty years—a fact which j
is generally accepted as furnishing the best
proof of the theory that the regions of
space arc tilled with a material capa
ble of retarding the bodies composing
the solar system
Religious Mob Violence.— A man
calling himself A. P. Delvin under
took to deliver an anti-Calholic dis- i
course at Scranton, Pa., on Sunday,
22d inst. When he referred to the !
Catholics as being thieves, mnrder
j ers and cut-throats, the crowd went j
for him, and a stone cut the back of
his head open. At last accounts lie
lay in the hotel, apparently in a dan
gerous condition.
Severe on Pomi-ev Smash.— “ Smal

ported for the past few days. But
it is no fault of the careless, crimi

abating, as they have taken every op
portunity to spread it wherever they
went. We hope our Legislature at
its next session will pass a law to
reach such people in future.” — Newt.

The first Mormon trial, that of

Si. Louis wants two mote grain eleva
tors. There are now only three in the city
and the Republican says; "The Insurance

into store.”

[I!Y REQUEST.]
! I 7 ho Wales Ajar.
. j On the occasion of the birtli of his t’.rst
| child, the poet writes :
, j One night as old St. Peter slept,
I He left the door of heaven ajar,
' | When through a little angel crept
■ And came down with a falling star.
1 I
I One summer, as the blessed beams
j Of morn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened from some pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
Ood grant but this, I ask no more,
That when he leaves this world of sin.
He’ll wing his way to that bright shore
And find the door of Heaven again.
Wiiereupon Saint Peter, not liking this
imputation of carelessness, thus (by a
| friend) replies on the part of defence:
| For eighteen hundred years and more.
I’ve kept mv door securely tied ;
j There has no little angel strayed.
None has been missing all the while.
j I did not sleep as you supposed,
Nor leave the door ajar,
Nor has a little angel strayed,
Nor gone down with a foiling star.
Go ask that blushing bride and see
If she don’t frankly own and say,
That when site found the angel babe
Hite found it in the good old way.
God grant but this, I ask no more,
That should your number still enlarge,
You will not do as heretofore,
And lay it on old Peter’s charge.
Hartford Insurance Losses and
Profits.—A Hartford (Conn.) letter
writer says : “Many instances have
' come to my knowledge where peo
ple in hnrnhlc circumstances have
lost their all by the failure of the
companies that have gone tinder.
In one instance a milliner in this
city had put every rent she could
save for years into slock, hut now
her entire $5,000 of savings is
gone. And our most conservative
and careful business men are among
the heaviest losers.” It is explain
ed that the Hartford insurance inter
est has been for years otto of the
most prosperous and profitable, as
an illustration of which it is stated
that “in a recent law suit it became
j necessary to determine the present
value of §2(55 of stock in the Hart
ford hire Insurance Company, which
was alleged to tiave been misappro
priated in 1851, twenty years ago.
j A careful computation by the refer
' ees of the value of the stock, with
all the dividends that have been
paid to date at compound interest,
showed the enormous accumulation
of §11,000.”
SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF WItST Yir
gixia.—At the reunion of the Socie
ty of the Army of West Virginia, at
\\ heeling, on the 20th inst., second
day, officers for the ensuing year
were elected, as follows : President,
Gen. If. 15. Hayes, of Ohio; vice
presidents, Gen. 15. 11. Milroy, of
Indiana, Gen. W. E. F. Reynolds,
of New York, Cel. W. S. Lincoln, of
Massachusetts, and Col. Cole, of
Maryland. The cities of Zanesville,
Ohio, and Washington, Pennsylva
nia, were selected for the seats of
the next meeting. Letters acknowl
edging the receipt of invitations to
be present, were read from Horace
Porter, secretary, on behalf of the
President of the United States, from
Generals Sherman, Sheridan, llosc
crans, Sigel and others, and from
Gov. John J. Jacob, of West Vir
ginia. An original song, to the air
of John Brown, was sung, speeches
were made by Col Kennedy, of Ohio,
Lieut. Clarkson and others, and the
reunion concluded.
Where the Loss Falls.—The loss
by the Chicago fire, immense as it is
comes down as the facts are known.
One hundred and fifty millions is as
high as it is now put by those who
arrive at a conclusion from a calm
survey and diligent inquiry. Of
this amount, however, probably not
a quarter falls on Chicago. New
York is by far the greater sttfi’erer
of all. Between eighty and one i
hundred millions in money will How I
into ( hieago in a steady stream to
re-build the city; and Now York
and other cities tiro again “settii g
up” Chicago in business ns rapidly
as possible—a fact, which amounts
to a tribute of which she has every
reason to feel proud.
At Vah-nce, on the 21st inst., wlt'le
Plince Napoleon was on his way to

heard of the I’riuec’a journey gath
ered about the railway station and
demanded his surrender into their
•hands. Being informed that he
traveled under the safe conduct of
the government they vented their
hatred in hisses, yells and threats,
and followed the train until it had
passed the limits of the town.

on the lGth, for stabbing. The pris

the court a lie he could not escape
drowning next time he ventured on
the water, lie was acquitted.

And where will he this crowd 1 see,
Who're hereto learn what we can do?

Goo grant, when they have from us lied,
We all at last may meet above!

The good old soul was so happy that she
didn’t even ask us to throw in tkr<u t for
