Despatches from Harrisburg announce
that Governor Hartranlt Fiiday issued tho
death warrant of Dennis Donnelly, fixing
April 18 as the day of tho execution. This
action on tho pal t of tho Executive is rather
unaccountable from tho fact that a writ of
error was taken out on January 20 last, re
moving tho caso to tho Supremo Court,
where an argument will bo had on tho 18th
of march, tho easo being nt tho lic.nl of tho
Schuykill county list. Tho case being ttill
landing, it is rather surprising that n day
should be fixed lor tho execution of tho sen
tence of tho Court below. Tho iiajior book
is now being prepared, tho evidence being

For every $100 paid in casli "and every $100
of stock surrendered stockholders aro to re

Tho report says that the company will

The Coal Trmlc.
As wo said last week, there is no probabil
ity of any activity ill tho anthracito coal
ti ado bclore tho first of April next. One
purpose of the parties to tiio coal combina
tion is to reduce the surplus stock of coal on
tho market, lo allow of a full and continued
supply of coal fresh mined lo the end oftho
seat mi. To this cud tho several coal region
aro raying how littlo they can do in the
way of production, and tonnage all around
is ncirlyatastandstill. Of the littlo report
ed las', week by the Reading Railroad Com
pany nearly or quite all was anthracite front
the Lehigh nnd Wyoming coal legions and
bitumi nous coal Irem west of llarrisburg.
Not a tun was sent to Tort Richmond dur
ing tho week, but tho shipments of old stock
thenco l cached 23,500 tons and was princi
pally carried by tho company's steam col
liers. On the 27th inst., shipments of coal
from, tho iniues will bo commenced in mode
rate union nts in the Schuylkill region. The
stock of coal ou hand, "however, will bo
closely watched, and Iho supply not bo al
lowed" to run ahead of tho current demand.
Although last week was what is known in
the trade ns a working week by tho Lehigh
Valley Raili oad, very littlo coal was brought
to tidu at An, boy, and of the amount reach
ing that point, a considerable portion of it
remains in tho cars for want of ahinnhiz
orders. It is so much more satisfactory to
unload directly into vessels than to dumti
tlio coal and load from tho wharves that tho
loaded cars are permitted to stand Ukii the
tracks nnd sidings. Tlio Lehigh Navigation
Company ttopjied work at all their collieries
but ono last week, and except at that ono
work will bo tusiended for tho remainder
of tho month. The only encouraging feature
oftho trado at this, the gloomistjiait of the
year'sbusiness, is the strengthened assuraneo
that the conditions nf tho combination will
b adhered to. This is tlio season of tho
year when tho coal trado is dullest and tlio
particular timo when casli income Is small
est. It is true tho expenditures aro corres
pondingly lessened, but it universally results
in moro or less of financial inconvenience,
and tlio present is no exception to tho rule,
though there is no reason to doubt that all
tho parties in interest will pass safely
through to the time for active business. Tlio
report mado current last week, on tlio
strength of n newspaper paragraph that tho
Reading Railroad Company had borrowed
in London a million of dollars at 00 cents on
tho dollar, is incorrect, no such loan having
been made, all the temporary loans required
by the company having been secured at 6
wr cent irom capitalists in our own market.

the mortuary statistics of the whole civil
ized world show that about one-fifth of all
mankind dioof consumption alone, and tho
number of deaths duo to consumption bears
a greater ratio to the whole number
than that of any other three diseases to
gether. Moreover, investigation proves that
this ratio Is steadily increasing. Its increas
ing prevalence has led to Iho popular belief
that consumption is incurable. Every year
hundreds of theso sullcrers seek, in tlio sun
ny retreats of Florida or tho dry atmosphere
of Colorado; for health and find only ft
grave. The ihfluertec of tlio ntmospliere
tho only remedial ngent that cither Florida
or Coloradocnu nll'onl tho consumptive is
at best only pallmtnc Tho cure of con
sumption dcjieuds upon two essential condi
tion; 1st the arrest of the abnormal break
ing down of tho tissues, wiiich jirevents
emaciation, ami Id. tho restoration of
healthy nutrition; in order to (top tlio for
mation of tuberculous matter. Fulfill these
conditions, and consumption II as curablo
as fever. To fulfill theso conditions tlio re
quired remedy must Increase tho appetite,
favor the assimilation1 of food, and enrich
tho blood, thus retarding tlio development
of tubercles. To accomplish this, a moro
powerful alterative than Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has lievcr been discover
ed. At tlio samo'tlmc, it soothes the irrita
tion of tho nervous system produced by vio
lent coughing, which in its turn so often
leads to moro serious results. Tho uso of
"expectorants" in consumption is absolutely
suicidal. For whilo removing iho tubercles
already formed, they produce yet moro seri
ous results by iullaiuing and destroying the
sound arid healthy tisirfes. Consumption
requires a remedy that will sootho while it
relieves,' harsh rncdicincs, but add fuel to
tho lla'rne that riheady threatens to consumo
the ayitcm. The (iofden Medical Discovery
fulfills these conditions, and has been pro
nounced tho best remedy yet discovered tj
allay and arrest consumption
