THE COAL TRADE.
The Resumption Not Yet Quite General -The
Lehigh Keglon Still Idle The Sha
dow of Further Trouble The New Coal
Company The Complete Tonnage for
the Week Quotations, Etc.
The suspension la not yet completely at an end,
contrarv to general expectations, the Lehlgn region
still holding out by a majority of district rotes for
their 1869 basis. The Lehigh operators hare con
sulted as to the bent way of proceeding, and, we be
lieve, have determined to hold to their proposals.
The districts who voted with the minority are much
dissatisfied, and it la not unlikely that these may
abandon the W. 11. A. and resume without regard to
Its orders.
The miners generally In all the regions appear to
be well contented to work at the wi-gcs that they
now receive, but the leaders, from all accounts, ap
pear to be very restless, and are cautiously trying
to prepare the way for another suspension when
ever It may be possible, which It Is not at present.
The leaders fare the most sumptuously when the
miners are starving, and consequently wish them to
Starve. , They call It a patehed-up resumption,
Which the operators will soon wish to suspend, an 1
by saying this now, they hope to lay the blame of
suspension on the operators should the miners at
any time wish to break the truce.
The leaders try to Inculcate the old Idea that the
wages received are much lower than those received
In other equivalent branches of Industry, and so try
to produce dissatisfaction, which will in the end lead
to another suspension. Of course the miners' wages
do average lower than those paid to workers in
other departments, but it is because the other work
ers work steadily nearly',the;year round, while the
miners prefer to remain idle for six months at a
time. At steady work' the miners' pay would average
much higher, aud this not allowing for the difference
In the hours worked. Other artlsaub and mechanlce
work ten, twelve, or more hours per day, while the
miners who work on contract work, as many of them
do, work only from four to six hours per dav. If
they say that they cannot live at the wages paid for
this amount of work, the same argument should be
used to them as the miners of the upper region used
to the latorers in the late trouble. The laborers said
they could not live upon one-third less than the
miners, their employers, received, and on complain
ing were told by their employers that they must live,
and that was all there was about it. The truth, per
baps, Is that the miner wants to be too much or a
gentleman of leisure before he has earned the posi
tion. Habits of idleness engendered by long sus
pensions help that sort of thing amazingly.
The formation of the new coal company control
led by the Heading Railroad is going to bring a new
and powerful Influence to bear upon the solution of
all troublesome Schuylkill coal questions, and the
leaders, accustomed to manage their men in con
nection with private operators only, will now have
to learn new tactics. This action will be the begin
Ing of the solution of the puzzling problems In which
the interests of carrying companies, operators, and
miners are concerned. The result will probably, in
time, be more or less disastrous to private operators,
bowever, unless a very liberal spirit guides the
doings of the company. But, at all events, whatever
other evils it will produce for which the remedy can
the more readily be found at some future time, it at
least tends to do away with existing evils which
injure public and private operators alike, and to this
extent it makes the mining Industry so much the
more desirable to individual operators. But, be the
result good or evil, that result is the direct though
undesired work of the leaders of the miners them-
86) VG8.
The new company is to start under the most
favorable auspices. The coal lands purchased,
which are the very best, embrace an area or between
B5,oot) and 60,000 acres, acd vith these rully improved
the company has the controlling power. The stock
is held by the Reading company, and mortgage
bonds to the amount or g25.000.ooo, less fo.ooo.oou
which Is to be used to pay on old mortgages, have
been Issued by the company to pay for and Improve
the lands.
The Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Com
pany having reduced its freight, will hold Its first
auction sale of coal since the suspension In New
York on next Wednesday.
The committee on wages for the Schuylkill region
have met and fixed the rate for May, the aerage
being found to be Ji-93. Wages are therefore or
dered to be advanced six cents upon the $2 75 basis
fixed by the umpire's decision.

The Journal also has the following:
'With so large a deficit in the market of anthra
cite, we think the price can be kept at about 12-75 a
ton, unless too mucn coai is suovea on tne market in
the months or. June and July. The markets are ail
now bare or coal, and tit will take some tuns to
firoenre the usual stocks necessary to be kept on
land to meet sales. It will take about 480.00U to-is
of antbracite per week for the balance or tha season
to makeup the quantity or anthracite sent to market
last year, and if any further Interruption should
occur it will fall short; therefore purchasers need
not hesitate in purchasing coal, because the differ
ence in price will be but Blight during the season
after this week, and it may be more than counter
balanced by increased coastwise freights."

CAPSIZED.
How a Government Cutter -was Upset by
the Gust Yesterday Narrow Escape of
an Officer.
About I o'clock yesterday afternoon a beavy gust
of wind passed over the city, which for a time beto
kened rain. Unfortunately, however, the clouds
passed without breaking their welcome showers
npon the parched and arid earth. The wind while it
lasted waa very refreshing, bnt the dust whlcn It
raised was Intolerable. It also raised quite a dust
on the river. The wind sprang up so suddenly that
bnt few were prepared for It, and consequently quite
a number of little craft were capsized and their
owners precipitated Into the waters of tne Delaware.
Captain Chadwlck commands the United States
tug Pinto, which Is now lying at tbe Navy Yard.
Yesterday afternoon he determined npon a short
sail down the river in tbe fine cutter belonging to
hlBboat. Being unable, of course, to run tne ma
chine singly, be took four of bis crew. They left
the lower wharf of the Navy Yard in flnelsplrlts, the
wire or the captain among the rest waving them
ad ten and a safe return. Down the river they ran
gaily. They had proceeded about three squares,
when suddenly they were Incased In a cloud or dust
from the shore, borne on by a beavy wind. Their
little craft reeled to and fro under Its eff cts
like a drunken m:tn, but endeavored
gallantly to weather tho gale. In a minute
the (Inst difcspprared, and the anxious ones on the
Navy Yard wharf, among them the captain's wife,
could see the little craft rocked to and fro by the
mlgbty force of the element. Finally she could
stand it no longer, and over she went, bottom up
wards, and the men with her. The four men, being
good swimmers, found no difficulty In catching hold
of the boat and thus waiting until assistance could
arrive. Upon falling Into the water the captain, who
Is a poor swimmer, was forced some distance from
the boat, and after repeated attempts
found it impossible to reach the little
craft. He gradually became exhausted, and had
sunk oflee before assistance arrived In the shape of
the tug J. B. Klrby. Tho men were rescued from
their dump positions and taken to the Navy Yard,
where they were comfortably provided for. l'he
captain was In an exhausted condition, and con
siderable effort was necessary to revive him. His
wile witnessed the entire scene, and hnr feelings
can easier be Imagined than described. Forttinatelo
what might have proved a serious matter amounted
to nothing except a ducking.
An Exciting scene An Indsntcred Cmi.o.
About noon to-day, before Judge Paxson, In the old
Quarter Sessions court-room, u case to secure the
custody of a child came up. The parties suelng
were a Mr. Mvholm, a German Insurance agent,
and the stepfather of the girl, ayoung miss of twelve
years, and bis wife; the defendant was a Mrs.
Rosenberg. Having beard all the (acts Judge Pax
son announced that he would render a decision on
Saturday next, and then Mrs. Rosenberg and tho
girl left the room. Hardly had they done this when
Mr. Myhoira, In an excited state, rushed out of the
room, caught hold of the child, and launched at the
woman a volley of Invective. While this was going
on a great crowd gatheret, and Mr. Myholm In
creased the excitement by following Mrs. Rosen
berg Into tbe square, and declaring that be would
kill ber.
Oneof the court officers arrested him, and, followed
by a great crowd, be waj taken before Alderman
Paxson. When asked ror the reason of this assault,
he delivered a pathetic address to the Court, declar
ing that while he was in Washington his wife, who
was in loeoio neaitn auu innigence, maentureu mu
child to Mrs. Rosenberg. He did not learn of this
transaction until two years after. He stated her
present custodian was a woman of Improper charac
ter, and that, frenzied at the thought that his step
daughter must remain one week in ber presence, be
bad been pushed on to the Indecorous conduct
which be had just manifested. Be asked pardjn of
the Court, and sat down and wept bitterly. The
Judge held him In 120u bail to keep the peace, sav
ing that be would decide the case as to the custody
of tbe child on Saturday next.
An African King. Last Sunday several of our
churches and Sumlay-schools were visited bv the
African King and Baptist missionary, Jacob Von
brus. He speaks and writes the English language
correctly, and makes a favorable appearance lu pub
lic and private. He was aecompaub d by Rev. John
B. Plnney, LL. D., who has himself visited Africa
five times. They were present at the Sunday-school
of Rev. Dr. Chambers' Church, also or Rev. Geo. D.
Boardman's and Rev. J. Wheaton Smith's. Rev.
T. S. Maicom spoke of tha useful missionary labors
of the African King, it Is probable that the Sunday
school cf tbe Beth-Eden Baptist Church will sustain
a misiouary teacher to aid this pious king to ele
vate his countrymen, the Bassa people. Many re
grets have been expressed that he could only spend
one day In Philadelphia before leaving for
Washington, preparatory to a speedy return to
Africa.
What Odstivacy Costs. A dozen carts were
jammed together in Chesnut street, near Twentieth,
yesterday afternoon. John McUuigan, the driver of
one of them, was ordered to "move on." He re
fused, was arrested, aud fined by Alderman Morrow.
Hurt. John J. Winning, of Engine No. 1, was
badly hurt about the arms and back while going to
the Market street fire.

War Department. Office of tub chief Signal
officer. Washington, way VI 10-30 a. ai synop-
sis for the past tweuty-rour nours: rne Darometer
has fallen somewhat at the Kocky Mountain station
and ia still low on the California coast. The low
pressure of Friday morning in the extreme north
east has now advanced southeastward, and areas of
high barometer exist in Lpper Canada and on the
Carolina coast. Light rains have fallen at very
many points from Connecticut to Lake Erie and
thence to Kansas. Cloudy and threatening weather
now prevails over the latter region. The temperature
has fallen from Lake Ontario eastward and light
winds have generally prevailed. At present fresh
northwesterly winds are reported north and east of
West Virginia and a tendency towards light north
easterly winds exists over the country north and
west of Ohio.
Probabilities. It U probable that the barometer
will fall from Ohio to Iowa and southward, with
warm and cloudy weather. The temperature will
probably not increase materially on the lakes and In
the Eastern States. Fresh northwest winds win
probably continue north and east of Pennsylvania,
witn clear weatner.
