It Is Now Thought That Danger

Much to the displeasure of tho

extreme satisfaction of almost every-

There has been a great deal of in-
convenience raur'-d by this quaran-

tomed to it, but it unquestionably
prevented the disease from spread-
ing so much as it may have done.

it is nothing but fair that we demand
only clean coal shall be shiped.
"Recenly we have received many

such coal must be stopped. It is true
