fur tho murder of Michael Durkln, at St.
Clair, Schuylkill County, in January, JSCS.
the names of tho murderers aro Michael
Merrrick, a miner nud school director, and
.Michael (mtlaglian, a miuo Inspector. Tho
testimony shows that Durkin was shot by
Merrick, and that Golfiighan finished tho
job by kuockiug out his brains with a heavy
weight. Tho avcrrgo tlmo of the closing of the
canal at this place by freezing for the ten
years ending 1848, was November 28; for
the next 10 years, Nov. 30; the following
decade, Doc 1, and the last nine years, Dec.
3. Tho earliest closing was Nov. 25,1815,
and tho latest on Christmas, 1829, the year
of theoioiiiiigof the canal to commerce. In
1811, tho year of tho memorable fresbct,uav
igation continued until Dec 17th. The
prcscut year there has bean no ice on the

may remain oicn until after New Year.

At tlio latt meeting of tho Board of Pardons
an application lor the commutation of Mc
Donnell's death scnteuno to imprisonment
for life was adversely considered, and subse
quently writs of error in his and Sharpo's
caso were refused by the Supremo Court.
Sh.irjie's counsel had meanwhile mado nn
appeal to Judgo Drcher, who sentenced both
culprits, and ho prepared a communication
which was forwarded to tho Govcrnoritatiiig
that if tlio after discovered evidence in favor
of Sharpo had been before tho Court in tho
present form at the argument for a now trial
lie would have continucd'tho enso to afford
tho defendant an opportunity to"sumbit tho
testimony, and if tho case was in his control
he would do so now. Tho only way, ho
says, is for an appeal to the Governor for a
respite, so that Sharpo can bring his caso
again beforo tho Board of Pardons McDon
nell njid Sharpo Vero convicted of the mur
der ofVlcorgo K. Smith in 1803, mid both
owe tlio verdict to tho testimony of self-confessed
murderers, who swore that tho ac
cused had confessed their connection with
tlio crime. Tlio new testimony conflicts
materially with that on which n verdict of
murder in the tire t degree was based in tho
Sharpo case. As the men ore under sentence
of death for tho same crimo Governor Jlart
ranft has respited both. The probabilities
now aro that Sliarjio will go to prison for life.

The position taken by Messrs. Dickson and

negotiations can bo carried on until Mr.
Swoyer's committeo obtain tlio requisite
iower to represent aulhoritively tho Lehigh

ity is secured tho committeo of the Board of

for 1879, provided the matter can bo settled
beforo December 27; and should the Lehigh

can do no harm. The minds of many iu

of the prisoner on earth was spent in quiet

wcro celebrated in his cell, after which ha

Jfwo accept Ihe words of tho parlies lo thfl
present coal combination ns veritable und
Irno that compact is virtually at au cud.
The Lehigh Valley Company will take no
action on a new combination until tho pres
ent ono has expired, and tho present com
bination will not wait longer than the 27th
instant. A few weeks ago, when serious
disagreement first showed Itself in the com
bination, complaints of injustice and unfair
ness to somo of tlio parlies ill thn combina
tion were presented ns tho grounds for their
dissent to renewing the arrangement for nn
other year. Tbo allotment wns complained
of as unequal and oppressive, giving unduly
tn porno while it withhold fmm others what
they were justly entitled In. Tills, if true,
wns n well grounded complaint, nud, If fair
ly presented by thocnmplaluing party with
out commanding lodrc, would iilford suf
ficient lea.-on rorwithdrnwingfromthecom
Miia.tiuti. No ono joining iu the effort lo
etleot nn nrr.itigcnicnt thereby committed
himself, nor did ho in any way become en
dangered of being outvoted to his prejudice,
for no majority principle is acknowledged In
Iho combination. The whole project con
templates n unity of action. .ny ono party
being dissatisfied with any provision or re
quiremenU agieed upon by t)cptieriarties,
by adhering to his dis-ent" resolves tlio com
I. iimtion to individual competing parties.
Hcnco Ihero is no danger, if an agreement
for tho oott'Pl of the tpi'l" for I87U is dpslr
ed, in giving n full nttendnnco for consulta
tion of nil tbo panics in interest, The hold
ing aloof, theii'fore, from a full and freo con
ference mny bo fairly presumed to bo crsnn
ul iiidisnsitiin to join in rntjierlhau to any
dilliciitv in tho biuinoss that might not. be
rortsniieil nwayand tho arrangement edi ctcd.
This being tho fact, Ihero will probably bo
no fuller meeting of the eirties lo tho com
bination (it tio next appointed period, on
tho 27th histnnt, than there has been at nny
tlmo in tha recent past. Indeed it is nl
mo't certain that mt that dale the purjiosoof
abandoning nil ellorts to ellectnny tinned!
action, fur 1S79 will bo announced, after I
which tha further djseussimi of the subject I
will probably pepse. H has been suggested
that 1 1" tho principle of unlimited production
of co.il should be incorporated iu nn arrange
tnent for I87VI, as unlimited piico of coal is
now n feature of tho present pombinatjnp, it 1
might ooinmnnd tho favor of all tho several '
pnitioi, That Is, it it shall lio icrmitted to
every operator iu any ipijjiber uf days do
signaled by Iho combination to produco ns
much pool ns desired, which, it is pic.-umed.
would boas much us they uould sell nt satis
factory prices, all tho parties might accept
it. Such n feature would seem to tako from
the combination policy much of itsobjection
ablo uiono)ioly character, making the tralllc
as flee as possible to hold any control of the
irntioninn, uut to mis, under inner con
sideration, objections nro iuleiposod by the
coal operators that such unlimited produc
tion would advance tbo cost of mining and
tho cost of shipment upon themselves. For
the ten or twenty days allowed to working
each opcintor would naturally desire to put
Into imukct tbo greatest possb)c amount of
coal, and the pn(i) jsati lion would quicken tho
demand for miners and for vcsspls to trans
port the product of their labor, nid this in
creased demand would naturally tend to put
up tho wages of tho ono and tho froipht
charges of tlio other, materially encroaching
uhiii the profits that would attend the other
wise cheaper production of conl were tho op
erators allowed to woik steadily nlong, tak
ing twenty-six days to produce the nmouiit
they might, under ft limit of time, try lo
produce, in fifteen or twenty days. So it is
seen this policy, that had its plausible sido
when first presented, seems to havo its diffi
culties, nml which, on further consideration,
may prove insu)ier.iblct defeating any ar
rangement at all. In nil its aspects Iho fu
ture of the coal trade is gloomy, nnd iu tlio
present it is demoralized ill "the extreme.
Tlio Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is
r.Miot'tod to hnvo stocked nt Perth Amboy
Ml,000 tons of coal, with a capacity there for
200,000 tons, which, witli tho present slack
ened demand, they will probably fill by the
end of tho year. All tho carrying compan
ies havo pretty largo stocks of coal, and es
pecially of tho fiee burning coals. Orders
for coal nre few, as is naturally tho case
whcu prices nro on tho downward course.
Demand is ever most active when buyers
fearstcadlly higher prices. Whcilthey ho)w
for lower prices, as most consumers now do
with an abandonment of tho combination,
orders aro deferred to tho last moment, nnd
tho least )os.ible amount of coal is consumed.
As tending to nggruvato matters iu this re
gard, n rumor was cuircnt hero on Satuulay
that at the next auction salo of Scranton
coal at New York J5(),i)QQ (mjs would be
(fibred. Wo have seen no continuation of
this report,-bul if true, and n determination
is mado to really . that amount iu the
present condition of tlio market very low
figures may bo calculated upon, Ledger,
