Monday's Philadelphia Ledger:: The anthracite coal trade, which has been for some weeks In an almost btagnant condition, seems to grow even even more depressed as the season advances. There is a very light demand for coal, excopting In cases of almost absolute necessity, and the stocks of anthracite at tidewater and other stocking points and on cars and vessels continue to ac cumulate. Veteran operators complain of the almost unprecedented dullness of the speoial coals, and that even the best qualities and most favorlto brands, which aro usually In greater demand than supply, find difficulty in obtaining a ready market. Vessels at Port Rich mond, with orders for coal for shipment eastward, arc reported to he in plentiful supply, but the captain1 complain of their tnablty to make despatch owing to the alleged scarcity of coal. Why coal should be so hard to obtain thero wc cannot conceive, but we do know that the condition of affairs at Port Rich mond is quite a puzzle to many In the coal trade.

Wilkesbarre, August 11, One of tho ni03t fearful accidents that has occurcd In this section for many years took placo to-day at the mines of West End Coal Company, at Shlck shlnny, eighteen miles below Wilkes barre, on the Susquehanna river. The accident is due to gross carelessness and mismanagement. Just how many aro killed Is not known. Thero are still a number In the mine, but tho following Is a list of tho victims as far as can bo at present obtained: JohnlWby. tnlqcr, 40 years, married, with live children, niram O.

The mines of the West End Coal Co., arc situated near tho summit of the mountain on the opposite side of the river from Shlckshlnny and about two and one-half miles distant from that placo. They have been opened only a few years and the portion where the dis aster occurred Is In tho newest part of the mine. Access to the workings h gained through a slope lu the hillside. This slope Is some MOO feet long and near the bottom of It Is situated the fan, which keeps the workings supplied with pure air. The seams ot coal which are now being worked are particularly free from gas and an explosion Is an un known thing, The coal, howevcr.givcs out considerable sulphurous fumes, which are extremely deadly in their na ture, and it is to keep the mine clear of these fumes that tho fan Is necessary. At present the colliery is working night and day. THE BROKEN FAN. Just before 11! o'clock last night, when the night shift quit work, the eccentric on the fan engine broke and the shaft of the fan became ben.t. Of course the fan was disabled. No difficulty was ex perienced by tho night shift, however, and shortly after midnight they came out. At 7 In the morning the men on the day shift came tp work, They h&ird that the fan w as broken and be fore going to work spoke to the mine boss, Christian Conrad. He told them that the mine was all right; that the fan would be working In an hour, and that they should go to work. Sixty went down tho slope, but many, fearing the sulphur fumes, refused togo down. Nor were theirfcars unfounded. Scarcely had the men got to their work ing places in fact, many were still on their way down the slopes when they began to feel tho suffocating fumes, mixed with tlio nauseous gasc3 that had accumulated in the mine over night and permeated every crevice. Unlike the usual mine gas, or black damp, these sulphur fumes gave their victims no time. 1I0W THE MEN WERE OVERCOME. Without warning, without a minute's time to help themselves, the unfortu nate men were overcome and dropped where they stood. Their companions who could fled back to the open air and gave the alarm. Several of those who were overcome, getting fresher air near the ground, partially recovered and crawled towards the surface. The news spread rapidly. Tho men at work in the breaker, lower down the hill, hastened to the rescue. Relief parties were formed and the first party that went down the mlno was headed by Boss Conrad himself. This party reached the foot of the slope in safety. They met a few men half stupefied with the fumes struggling to reach tha surface ami crawling on their hands and knees or staggcrln; from sldo to side like drunken mon They wero assisted to fresh air and stimulants adralplstcred. An attempt to penetrate Into the workings resulted In half too roller party tieinc rendered unconscious and the others wero left in little better shape. One of the party, Peter Boraskl, who had joined theparty In hopes of saving his brotber.Anthonv. crawled into the workings and never came out auvc, THE (SEC0NI RELIEF PARTY. A second party had meanwhllo been lormea, ana tuey oeing wen equipped with stimulants and their faces covered with cloths wet with ammonia succeeded in penetrating deeper Into the workings annDrougnt outanumoerotmen. tney were found, as a rule, Just where thoy had dropped, and were sent to the sur face In rapid succession. Doctors had by this time arrlvod from Shlckshlnny and restoratives were speedily applied. and at first all brought to the surface were revived. Iho most intense excitement pre vailed in bhlcksninny and vicinity. A crowd of many hundreds had assembled around the colliery, among whom were the wives and children of raanv of tho miners inside. The arief was terrible and It was only with difficulty that order was maintained and the work of relief carried forward promptly. BRINGING OUT TUE DEAD. The first dead roan brought out was James Whcejnn, John Tcasdale, sup erintendent of the company and one of the chief stockholders, arrived on the pot and entered the mine with one of the relief parties. He was overcome by the gas, brought to the surface uncon scious and remained so for many hours. Dr. Hughes, of Shlckshlnny, also went in and was brought out unconscious, By noon all but.slx men wero recovered, and It was certain that by this time all must be dead and asthceas was accumu lating In such quantities as to render It dangerous to enter the mines the work of relief was abandoned for a time, TUE NUMBER Or DEAD NOT KNOWS. About 3 o'clock Mine Inspeotor Wil Hams, a number of expert miners and a force of doctors arrived and another ef fort was made. A relief party was or. t ganizea ana entered tne mine iro,m an. ! other opening. They recovered three bodies and Drought them to the I surface, a second party went down and recovered four more bodlts and so far as known there arc now only two left In side. It may be. however, that several Pulunders are In the mine. A larce number were employed, and not r-ak- , irg English they are difficult to kcef ' track ci, the gkaut obssctuik3 at madcii chunk. ; The Mauch Chunk Times of Monday saya: On Saturday the citizens of Mauoh Chunk gathered lu the Court Home to , join Inthesolcmuacrvlceaof the funeral of General Grant. The ceremonies were under tho auspices of Chapman Post, I No. 01, G. A. R., and Lt. Win. H. l'ul- ton Camp, No. 01, Sons of Veteran. At about noon all the principal business places In the borough were closed aud a Sunday quiet reigned. At 1 o'clock the Post and Camp members met at head quaitors, and shortly before 2 o'clock thoy marched to the Court House The attendanco was large, notwithstanding the fact that many of tho citizens of Mauch Chunk had gone to Now York to witness the grander funeral cervices In the metropolis, The enclosed portion of the court room wai filled by the members of tho Post and Camp and by the M. E. Church choir. The audience comfortably filled tho room. Post Commander Thomas Slnox pro sided. Tho 6orvlcc3 opened with payer by Rov. S. A. Hcllner, pastor of St. Paul's M. E. Church, and the M. E. choir, under Prof. Ell Sensloger's guidance followed with vocal music. The first speaker was Hon. Wm. M. Rapaher, who spqke substantially as follows; FR.IENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS; Gen. Grant the heroic, brilliant, and successful soldier, the statesman and cl lllan.lles cold In the embrace of death. As the Poet says, "Life's fitful dream 13 o'er and he sleep well." In his death we have a supremo example In which wo can fully appreciate Young's suggestive observation that ''Death loves a shining mark, a signal blow," Tne death of no nflm llvlrtf- m,n nnnM miiianBiTftlt spread an3 universal mourning, not only In his own native country, but throughout tho world, He wot recog nized oy tue nations o: tlio cart! as tho "Great Captain of the Age,'' wuetner Julius Caesar, Alexanccr the Great, Napoleon, Wellington or Von Molkto wero in any respects Ills super iors, wo must leave to the future historian. Tofoima Just and proper estimate as to this, wo must take Into conslderaiion, not only the results and victories achieved by ea.cU of tl;03e great Generals, but the conditions andlchamc teristlcs of the pconle and the forms and powers of the Governments under which thoy severally achieved their victories and trained such imperishable fame. Gen. Grant was under a Republican form of go eminent with no arbitrary power ana continually suojecica to tue ssvcreit popular and official ciltlcism. When General Grant became tho CommanJer in Chief of the army, there v.ai gtcat popular discontent, which was not con llued to any political party.aud tho Gov ernment was soaded on all sides to push tno war to a ciose, or in some way se cure peace. In those dark days of the war. tue life and perpetuity ot the Union hung tremblingly in tho balance. But the immortal Lincoln had set his heart and judgment upon the hero of Vlcks- umo as tue great man oi tlto nour, to load the grand armies of the Union to victory and glory. in lact mere is scarcely a critical epoch in history In which the circumstances of the tlmo did not produce or raise up a man equal to the emergencies of the hour. President Lincoln thought Gen. Grant wa3 thu man then, and he committed no error. Lincoln stood shoulder to shoulder with Grant, and under his generalship victory in due time perched upon the banners of the Union armies, hydra headed treason was crushed, iniquitous slavery wiped from the fair face of the land, and our Union of these States pre served, one and Indivisible. Tho hearts of the people were gladdened and there was exceedingly great rejoicing. No wonder, my fronds, that we mourn and feel sorrowful when Gen. Grant is being laid in the cold and silent tomb, though "His crave shall with rlslnj (lowers he drcst. And the crcon turf lie llgliuy on his breast; l here shall tho morn her cat Ueit tear testow. There thu llrst roses ol the t ear should blow. " The fruits of Gen. Grant's victories are of the subllmeat and moat important character, hence his fame In history will not rest upon a mere empty bubble, or upon successful military strategy.regard lets of tho magnitude of tho cause at stake. The principles Involved were of the most supreme Importance. I would not undertake to defino and set forth those principles and Issues as well as did Daniel Web3ter. He said: "When my eyes shall be turned, to heboid lot the Inst tlm- tho tun In heaven, may 1 not sec him shtnlnc on the broken and dis honored fmenicnt of n once glorious Union, on Mates dissevered, discordant, belliger ent, on a land rent ulth civil lend, or drenched. It may he. In lraternal blood: Let their last Icrblo and linnerin(t glance ralhcr behold Ihe gorcei.as ensUn ot the republic, now known and bouuied through out tho earth, still lull htsrh advanced its arms and tronhlei streamlnz In their origi nal luster, not a stripe tr.isf d or nolliittd.um a single star obscured, bearing tor It moito no such miserable interrogatory as 'mm (i ol Mil worth!" '.Nor those others or delusion and folly, 'Lliirv Jlrit and Union rttcrward: hut everywhere, spread all over lu character ot Ilviug light, bl.utng on all Its ampin folds, as thoy float over the sen and over the land, and In every wind tinder the whole heavens, that other senllment.dear to every Amer.run heart, 'LibeHy and Unionnour and fortvtr one ana uttcparcoir. These few sentences from one of Web ster's creat speeches clonuentlv and clearly define the issues of the late war lor tne union, ana tne cniei corner stone of all the troubles that caused those issues was human slavery. We can well bo thankful that the foul and un natural Incubus of slavery is lifted from our land. In view of those facts I firmly believe thai Gen. Grant's place in history will giow bricbter and brighter as the ages roll their ceaseless rounds in tho eternal cycle of time, until his name in history stands engratod upon "the "highest niche in Fame's Proud Temple." I do not Intend to go In detail over the early life and trails of the dead hero, nor will I recount to you bis military career in tho war with Mexico, nor will I attempt to give you a lilt of his brilli ant victories and military achievements In the West, ending with the fall of Vlcksbnrg and tho opening of the Mississippi River, the great artery of commerce, because that is something which yon are all familiar. Neither shall I describe the trials and disappointments which he suffered and the patience, skill and military strategy which he displayed In his great cam paign and march, "On the Richmond" because you remember it all, and you can not hive forgotten how treason was crushed, slavery destroyed, and the Union prescrved,"one and isseparable," at Appomattox, when he cave those I mighty blowa which shivered the Con- ieueracy to atoms, tenner is it neces sary to relate that after tho war a grate ful people twice elected htm to be the President of these United State;, and afterward how ho traveled around the world and how the Nations of the earth vied with each other In honoring him. What greater or nobler ambition could man in earth have, and to sublimely and so gloriously f p.lilll it? Yet Shakespeare says: "Why, what l pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dit?" "And live we how we can, )t die we mnft," He was a great man and we mourn his loss, and those of us who never knew him personally nor saw him. neverthe less t eel the great h)s in a national aensc. In his death we all lose a luminary tf the first magnitude 'especially the Nation and Its most brilliant heroic defender. I sball not attempt 10 delineate uch a great character as Gen. Grant's. Others will to-day more ilo-pieiitly do so, add posterity lll sad -aie Ue ;.itt ce of their fulcrum. LiUi hi "nerds 23 monument from in. his own great deeds and his own qualltlu are the atones In the slwft which will perpetuate his name. Singularly quiet, unobtrusive, he strug gled for many yeara before the suprvne hour arrived, when his great ab.lki'M were nended and fully rccognlaed, but his mind was stored with tho wonlth which later was developed In such glor ious plenitude ani power. He jiosseas ed In un "tinneiit degree that crowning oinamnut of all mental statute, yooa cdmxion rente. ' Without this treasuie, the most shin ing Dirta nr. J most brilliant faculties ' can achieve but temporary success. His military uenlus shone upon everything lt touched with the steadiness and fixed ness of the rava that corao down from tho sun. Ho was not simply brilliant; but ho was also cool-headed. Ho had not the flash of genius merely, but with lt clcar-slghtcdnesa, calm deliberation and sound understanding. But with all ho had an unassuming moJesty and gentleness of deportment that added additional lustre to the glorloue that clustered about and adorned hiA character, But this Is 'not all, Perhaps thero never was a man who practically exem plified more sublimity in hope, courage and Iron will than Gen. Grant did, In that lonj, hopeless, eloomy, and uneven Struggle, with that ghostly and relent less toe of mankind Cancer which had fastened its ivy cold clutches with such a deadly grasp upon his vltale, and, like the vampire, was Slowly but surely drinking Ida life's blood. Ko never broke down during those manv trying days of suffering, through which he valiantly struggled wltl; that terrible foe in that unequal contest. He maintain ed the same braiery, and iron will to tho hour of his death, as he always exemplified when ho was the General of our armies. Furthermore, he was as gonorous, magnanimous and forgiving as Abra ham Lincoln himself towards tho South and his biethern in aims against the Union. His heart's desire was forpeace, harmony and good will between all sections of our common countiv, espec ially between North and Sou'th. Ills friendly interview a short time before his death, with Gen. Buckner, who sutrendered to hlin at Fort Donelson, conclusively proves this 1 but there wa3 1:0 doubt as to this before that. It matters not In what light wo gar.e at him, he dazzlos us and thrills us with tho mostcuthuslaslic admiration. I pur pose not to enlarge upen tho character, virtues and great career of this moit re markable man. Tongues far more elo quent than initio will do this, olceathht have a better right than mine to be he.ird on this melancholy occasion will speak ill fitting terms of the illustrious dead. Hearts that v.cie knit to ids by tlio clos est ties of friendship and cemented with his by a life-long Intimacy and compan ionship will come up iptothe mouth and give utterance to their uncontrollable emotions, I ouly desire 011 this occasion to odd my humble tribute to the volumes of eulogy that will this day go forth frcrn tne hearts ot the American people. 1 c in not eulogize the life, character mid public services of Gen. Grant in a befit ting manner. But. in conclusion I will quote to you a portion of Abraham Lin coln's Immortal speech at Gettysbuig, the whole of which did not occupy three minute's In its delivery, where so much could have been said by such a master mind as Lincoln's. And f venture to say that If President Lincoln lived to day he could thrill the Nation and make tlio tenderest heart strings of the people vibrate In a very few sentencos. At Gettysburg he said: "Tho world will little note nor leng remember what wo say here, but It can never forget what we did here." Hence I think that as long as Government of the people, by tho people, and for the people, shall not perish from this earth, so long will the world never forget what Gen, Grant did for tho Republic of the United States; and in after times ami in ages yet to come Gen. Grant will be honored, re mombeied and revered at Llbeily's tacrod shrine. As long 113 nations and people exist and history Is written, until the very cartn uppn which wn live is shivered nnd torn into fragments, so long will Gen. Grant llvo in history. He was followed by lion. Allen Craig and Rev. Ilellner. Said Ho Was Onlv Sunburned- "Doc" Whecloek, a well-known col ored character In Wilkesbarre, is quite good-looking nnd known among his companion? as "the dudo." Recently he became acquainted with a young white girl named Rosallna Kiinalhhl, who had only been in this country seven weeks. She said she liked Wheelock, but would like him better if his skin was not so dark. When she consulted her parents about the matter they frowned upon hor intentions and told her it was very unbecoming for a white girl to receive attentions from a colored man. But tho girl was devoted to her lover and he to her. Wheelock told his sweethoart that he was only sunburned and that when cold weather came again he would be as white as she was, The girl consentod to marry him and, going to 'Squire Grotf s office In tho middle of tho night, they roused tho Justice up and were married. Polish circles were greatly excited and 'Squire Groff is being condemned for his action in marrying a black man and a white girl. Groff, who is an old man, says he could not distinguish colors In the dark and bad he known of the cir cumstance he would not have performed tho ceremony. Strangled Rlnisolf With a Tlcwline. Joseph Hensinger, a young farmer in the upper end of Lebigh county, com mitted suicide on the evening of the Sth inst., by strangling himself with a plow- line. Ho had lately shown signs of mental depression and the fact that the previous week his farm had been ap praised and he was aakod to take it at appraisement added to his melancholy feeling. He bad an idea that the ap praisement was too high and that he could not see his way cleato assuming lt at the figures named. Some tlmo during the day Hensinger talked to his hired man about tulcide, but gave the latter the Impression that he would not make away with himself for fear that his soul would be lost. He was a single man, twenty five years of age and of steady habits. STOCK KASKEXS. Itf ported up lo 13o'IoeV, by D naves & Towcwad,Sii:i.-ers,Ko. li S Third Street, Philadelphia..
