' Sullivan to appear at Ilarry Hill's on Monday night causod Burpnse among the sporting fraternity iu this city. It was known that he was anxioui to make a match with Tom Allen, and no one understood his absence from this meeting, called to settle the preliminaries. Harry Hill telegraphed to Boston and Washington in quest of him, but received no reply. Sullivan's two partners in the Sullivan combination, Bob Farrel and Peter McCoy, wore thero, and fertile in excuses for the absence of their principal. They said that he was out of the city, but would havo appeared if he had been properly notified, and that he was ready to fight with baro knuckles for from $5,000 to $10,000 a side. I if would bo, they said, his last fight, and he would then permanently retiro from the ring. They said ho wished to make his own matchos, and they refused to put dofrn tho $1,000 forfeit.

From Saward's Journal Anthracitc is fairly active with the majority of the operators and dealers. When the stocks that have been put in are worked oil, or nearly so, there will be more activity, and tbis must be at an early dato if the scasonacle -weather for coal consumption contmncs. We hear that the retail dealers are doing more than they were a short tinio ago, and that stocks aro moving into tl.e c liars of consumers. . The largor companies all report a better condition of affairs than do the individuals and smaller operators ; this being due no doubt to the fact that their market is more widely extended. Thero is no eauso for any uneasiness, and with judicious manipulation of the supply to the demand, during the winter months, there should bo a pretty clean market to commence business upon for the season of 1883. The output this year will be about one million tons above that of last year, for the figures we giro to tho end of October show an increase of 675,000 tons. COURTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

Easto.s", Nov. 24.—While a Lohigh Valley coal train, tho locomotive of which run out of steam, was being drawn to a siding, at Cowman's station, last evening, it was run into by un caslbound coal train. The locomotivo . of the Utter train was thrown diagonally across both tracks, and twenty-live cars were also wrecked. The_damaee is c timated at about $15,000. The cause of the accident is said to have been a misunderstanding of the signals. Two farmers were desperately beaten by a gang of men at Claremorris, Ireland, yesterday.A Cleveland gentleman, who is fond of a story, related to a Leader reporter, a few days ago, an instance of hypochondria which came under liis notice when he was considerably younger than at the present time. His narrative was something like this ;—" When I was a boy there lived near our house, in a part of Cleveland that waa then almost in the woods, a maiden lady who was in very poor health. Iu girlhood she was not strong, aud as years advanced she imagined herself growing more and uiore delicate, till at last she took to her 5ed, where she afterward remained iu daily expectation of death. Her nerves were delijato, aud iu my school days the schoolmas'.er used to waru us urchins to keep quiet when going by her house, as wo might disturb her if any noise was made. My youth and boyhood passed, and with the coming of manhood I discovered that a youug sister of the iuvalid was a very protty girl, aud when, after coming home from church or singing school with her, an invitation to come iu was given, it was always accepted. The short and awkward visits made at Arst scon gave placo to the old-fashioued sitting lp. One evening Beveral of the young people caine in, aud the talk and laughter grow hilarious. It was checked instantly by a heavy thump on the door in the room lircetly overhead, where the sick woman iay. Ouo warning was enough, but the frequency of the same signal afterward tended ;o lessen} our rospect for it. It seems that she kept a big cane standing at the side of her bed, aud by rapping with it she indicated her wants nnd displeasurp. Finally, one night, alter being cautioned several times iu the usual manner without effect, the parlor loor opoued suddenly upon the assembled party, and tho bed-ridded woman stood before our eyes, holding the awful cane iu her hand. It was the first time she had moved in twenty years. Her eutrauce was bo sudden that she was able to give two or three stinging blows to those sitting nearest her beforo au cseape could be made. In a moment a shout of laughter went up, and the supposed invalid was not slow in finding that slio was the cause. Her mother aud sister fixed her up with suitable clothes, and she spent the remainder of the evening down stairs, aud the day following she wont about the family housework. I didn't marry the girl whom 1 courted uuder such adverse circumstances. .She in time married and ivent to Massachusetts, aud it was only last week that I saw the ouce invalid woman walking as briskly about as any person ol eighty-seven could bo expected to do."— Clt teiand {Ohio) Leader. A SINGULAR FIND. A Vault Filled wlih Human Skulls Cueurthed-Whose aro the ltelics? The Continental Construction Company, of Concord, N. II., started a year ago, voted to wind-up. The losses are large. New York. Nov. 24 ■•-While tho workmen ■who are engaged in digging away' the foundations of the old Dutch Church, at Nassau and Cedar streets this morning, they came upon a place in the lloor of one of the vaults which was covered with boards. Upon these being removed was found a pit about five feel pquare, bricked up on all Mies. The pit was filled with numberless skulls and human bones, piled in promiscuous confusion. Up to ono o'clock sixteen ski.lls and five boxes of bones were taken out of the pit and then it had only b*en dug about two feet down. It is not known yet how deep the pit is. or how m»i:j skeletons it contains. Tho presence of the vault was entirely unknown to any ono and the church had no record of it. Tho bones are believed by some to bo tho remains of Americans who were confined during the revolutionary war in the old sugar house.

Portland, Oregon, Nov. 24.—Mrs. John Smith, daughter of Morgan, alleged to have been killed by the Masons in 1826, died Monday. She refused to throw any light on the subject t» iho last. Several men who were present denied that Sullivan was out of thef city, and said that they liad seen him at the Grand Central Hotel. It now seems probuble that Sullivan was kept away from the meeting by an outside Wm. Finney, a prominent hotelkeepcr of Lancaster, Pa., died yestorday morning. Ho was awaiting trial for killing Luther Ilurd, a traveling salesman, by kicking him during an altercation over a hotel bill. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. matter.

Five hundred dollars were offered to any man who would stand up before hiin lor twelve minutei with soft gloves. A burly blacksmith named llainey acceptcd this offer. In a very short time he had beon knocked down seven times and reduced to » state of utter helplessness. Hie polico then iutcrfered, and the man was carried away. Fully 2,000 spectators witnessed the tight, and Sullivan then announced to them that ho was ready to light Tom Allen. Tlio reported dullness in the iron trade has had no effect upon the demand for furnace sizes; but this is not surprising when it is known that there has been po shutting down of anthracite furnaces. The Kastern and Southern trado just now is disturbed by the scarcity of vessels to deliver the coal, which is again accumulating at the tide water shipping points in inconvenient quantity. With theso exceptions tho trade is progressing smoothly enough, and is liKely to so continue until the end of the year. As tho season progresses it will become necessary to abridge working hours. From this causo it is probable that three-quarter time will be ordered for noxt month; after which, nntil the opening of spring, only such portions of tho collieries will lie ke; t working us, am necessary to supply the regular winter trade, which is mainly in tho furnace a:Dd manufacturing sizes.

Ilii brave wife made heroic efforts to save the other five children, and when she carried out the last boy and girl ihoir clothing was on lire and their faces so terribly scorched that their recovery is considered impossible. She then suddenly remembered that her husband's savings, amounting to $260 in gold, were up stairs, and although the fiames were breaking out on all sides she run back into the burning house to get tho money. Hut it cost her her life, as she had no sooner goue up stairs than the fire broke through the door and she was buried in the blazing ruins. Only a few persons had assembled at the scone, and it was impossible to attempt to save her. Hor remains were discovered at noon yesterday frightfully disfigured.

In the custom part of Churchill county, near Hand Springs Station, on tlie road from Wadsworth to Grautsvillo, and about sixty* five wiles from the former place, is a sanddune, which is remarkable alike for its peculiar formation ctnd moving propensities. As far around as the eye can reach is a vast wilderness of groascwood aud stunted sagebrusl], with here and there abrupt mountain ridges, or a sharp, rocky peak, evidently placed there long before tho mythical persons left their mysterious footprints in the mud, now hardened for the annoyance of the State Prison inmates, and for no other apparent purpose thau to deceive the unaccustomed traveler as regards their distance from any place he happens to be located. The dune, or Rand mountain ridge, which is about four miles in length, aud covers probably a mile of greasewood in width, was perhaps formed by the heavy winds which prevail in that Beotion, blowing across these deserts through a natural opening in a small range of mountains and depositing the small particles of sand that were picked up in a heap where the wind's course is disturbed and an eddy formed.

Thirty-fivo cents a pound is the market prioe for chickens, ducks, aud turkeys in this State. The iuordiuate wealth of the few is regulating the expenses of the City; consequently there are to bo found iu this great City .more anxious-looking people thai are met with anywhere else. Accustomed as I am in Washington wO seeing men and women of limited means, who uever feel secure of their clerkships, looking aud feeling anxious, I do not think that even thoy feel as troubled as the New Yorker who has a good profession, plenty of busiues-i, aud yet an income not commeLBurate with family necessities. Those who are supposed to be affluent dare not retreush lest the truth should be discovered aud credit and business iujured thereby. There is hollow mockery in life here, for money is the most potent power which is acknowledged. The acquisition of wealth is never satisfied, and the desire for accumulating is so powerful that everything else is subordinated to this one iesire.

The mountain is so solid as to give it a musical sound when trod upon, and oftentimes a bird lighting on it or a large lizard running across the bottom will start a large quantity of the sand to sliding, which makes a noise resembling the vibratiou of tolegraph wires with a hard wind blowiug, but so much louder that it is often heard at a distance of six or sffven miles and is deafening to a person standing within a short distance of the sliding sand.

It was known that he was anxioui to make a match with Tom Allen, and no one understood his absence from this meeting, called to settle the preliminaries.

Sullivan's two partners in the Sullivan combination, Bob Farrel and Peter McCoy, wore thero, and fertile in excuses for the absence of their principal. They said that he was out of the city, but would havo appeared if he had been properly notified, and that he was ready to fight with baro knuckles for from $5,000 to $10,000 a side. I if would bo, they said, his last fight, and he would then permanently retiro from the ring. They said ho wished to make his own matchos, and they refused to put dofrn tho $1,000 forfeit.

We hear that the retail dealers are doing more than they were a short tinio ago, and that stocks aro moving into tl.e c liars of consumers. . The largor companies all report a better condition of affairs than do the individuals and smaller operators ; this being due no doubt to the fact that their market is more widely extended. Thero is no eauso for any uneasiness, and with judicious manipulation of the supply to the demand, during the winter months, there should bo a pretty clean market to commence business upon for the season of 1883. The output this year will be about one million tons above that of last year, for the figures we giro to tho end of October show an increase of 675,000 tons. COURTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

Easto.s", Nov. 24.—While a Lohigh Valley coal train, tho locomotive of which run out of steam, was being drawn to a siding, at Cowman's station, last evening, it was run into by un caslbound coal train. The locomotivo . of the Utter train was thrown diagonally across both tracks, and twenty-live cars were also wrecked. The_damaee is c timated at about $15,000. The cause of the accident is said to have been a misunderstanding of the signals. Two farmers were desperately beaten by a gang of men at Claremorris, Ireland, yesterday.A Cleveland gentleman, who is fond of a story, related to a Leader reporter, a few days ago, an instance of hypochondria which came under liis notice when he was considerably younger than at the present time. His narrative was something like this ;—" When I was a boy there lived near our house, in a part of Cleveland that waa then almost in the woods, a maiden lady who was in very poor health. Iu girlhood she was not strong, aud as years advanced she imagined herself growing more and uiore delicate, till at last she took to her 5ed, where she afterward remained iu daily expectation of death. Her nerves were delijato, aud iu my school days the schoolmas'.er used to waru us urchins to keep quiet when going by her house, as wo might disturb her if any noise was made. My youth and boyhood passed, and with the coming of manhood I discovered that a youug sister of the iuvalid was a very protty girl, aud when, after coming home from church or singing school with her, an invitation to come iu was given, it was always accepted. The short and awkward visits made at Arst scon gave placo to the old-fashioued sitting lp. One evening Beveral of the young people caine in, aud the talk and laughter grow hilarious.

Ouo warning was enough, but the frequency of the same signal afterward tended ;o lessen} our rospect for it. It seems that she kept a big cane standing at the side of her bed, aud by rapping with it she indicated her wants nnd displeasurp. Finally, one night, alter being cautioned several times iu the usual manner without effect, the parlor loor opoued suddenly upon the assembled party, and tho bed-ridded woman stood before our eyes, holding the awful cane iu her hand. It was the first time she had moved in twenty years. Her eutrauce was bo sudden that she was able to give two or three stinging blows to those sitting nearest her beforo au cseape could be made. In a moment a shout of laughter went up, and the supposed invalid was not slow in finding that slio was the cause. Her mother aud sister fixed her up with suitable clothes, and she spent the remainder of the evening down stairs, aud the day following she wont about the family housework. I didn't marry the girl whom 1 courted uuder such adverse circumstances. .She in time married and ivent to Massachusetts, aud it was only last week that I saw the ouce invalid woman walking as briskly about as any person ol eighty-seven could bo expected to do."— Clt teiand {Ohio) Leader.

Nov. 24 ■•-While tho workmen ■who are engaged in digging away' the foundations of the old Dutch Church, at Nassau and Cedar streets this morning, they came upon a place in the lloor of one of the vaults which was covered with boards. Upon these being removed was found a pit about five feel pquare, bricked up on all Mies. The pit was filled with numberless skulls and human bones, piled in promiscuous confusion. Up to ono o'clock sixteen ski.lls and five boxes of bones were taken out of the pit and then it had only b*en dug about two feet down. It is not known yet how deep the pit is. or how m»i:j skeletons it contains. Tho presence of the vault was entirely unknown to any ono and the church had no record of it. Tho bones are believed by some to bo tho remains of Americans who were confined during the revolutionary war in the old sugar house.

Portland, Oregon, Nov. 24.—Mrs. John Smith, daughter of Morgan, alleged to have been killed by the Masons in 1826, died Monday. She refused to throw any light on the subject t» iho last. Several men who were present denied that Sullivan was out of thef city, and said that they liad seen him at the Grand Central Hotel. It now seems probuble that Sullivan was kept away from the meeting by an outside Wm. Finney, a prominent hotelkeepcr of Lancaster, Pa., died yestorday morning. Ho was awaiting trial for killing Luther Ilurd, a traveling salesman, by kicking him during an altercation over a hotel bill. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. matter.

Five hundred dollars were offered to any man who would stand up before hiin lor twelve minutei with soft gloves. A burly blacksmith named llainey acceptcd this offer. In a very short time he had beon knocked down seven times and reduced to » state of utter helplessness. Hie polico then iutcrfered, and the man was carried away. Fully 2,000 spectators witnessed the tight, and Sullivan then announced to them that ho was ready to light Tom Allen. Tlio reported dullness in the iron trade has had no effect upon the demand for furnace sizes; but this is not surprising when it is known that there has been po shutting down of anthracite furnaces. The Kastern and Southern trado just now is disturbed by the scarcity of vessels to deliver the coal, which is again accumulating at the tide water shipping points in inconvenient quantity. With theso exceptions tho trade is progressing smoothly enough, and is liKely to so continue until the end of the year. As tho season progresses it will become necessary to abridge working hours. From this causo it is probable that three-quarter time will be ordered for noxt month; after which, nntil the opening of spring, only such portions of tho collieries will lie ke; t working us, am necessary to supply the regular winter trade, which is mainly in tho furnace a:Dd manufacturing sizes.

In the custom part of Churchill county, near Hand Springs Station, on tlie road from Wadsworth to Grautsvillo, and about sixty* five wiles from the former place, is a sanddune, which is remarkable alike for its peculiar formation ctnd moving propensities. As far around as the eye can reach is a vast wilderness of groascwood aud stunted sagebrusl], with here and there abrupt mountain ridges, or a sharp, rocky peak, evidently placed there long before tho mythical persons left their mysterious footprints in the mud, now hardened for the annoyance of the State Prison inmates, and for no other apparent purpose thau to deceive the unaccustomed traveler as regards their distance from any place he happens to be located. The dune, or Rand mountain ridge, which is about four miles in length, aud covers probably a mile of greasewood in width, was perhaps formed by the heavy winds which prevail in that Beotion, blowing across these deserts through a natural opening in a small range of mountains and depositing the small particles of sand that were picked up in a heap where the wind's course is disturbed and an eddy formed.

Those who are supposed to be affluent dare not retreush lest the truth should be discovered aud credit and business iujured thereby.
