Pini.AitELi'iilA, May V2.-The strike of the soft coal miners is having a temporarily disastrous effect on the coaling trade of Philadelphia, in which the coal shipments form a most important item. So great is the scarcity of bituminous coal that the Greenwich Point piers of the Pennsylvania, whieh are exclusively devoted to this trade, have had to suspend operations entirely, what little coal there is in transit having 'cen taken by the railroad company for use in its loco motives. The same state of affairs prevails at the Prrt Richmond piers of the Reading railroad, and all the coal destined for the pier of the Raltimore & Ohio railroad has been seized by that company. The result of this embargo on soft coal is that one of the largest fleets of idle vessels ever seen on the Delaware river now floa s at anchor awaiting the termination of the strike. Orders for coal have been coming in freely from New England points and the West Indies, but they can not Ik; filled. One effect of the strike has been that the river tttg.s which ordinarily use soft coal have Uiken to burning pen coal and find it 1 very goon substitute. Work of Klee IIiirs.

She was 7 veursiiiii rile excitement is so intense in the neighborhood that the murderers will be lynched on short notice, if they are Hilly identified, by the enraged eiti. zens. I lie circumstances siirroiinditur the horrible fourfold murder are as follows: In Lynn and Sullivan counties of this state there, were a number of eases pending in the criminal courts against Win. I-, and George 'laylor, brothers. William is u banker in Krowninir and his brother is a farmer. They are charged with forgery, larceny and arson. William Taylor, Gus Meeks ami others were jointly indicted. .Meeks pleaded guilty, ami was sentenced at the last term of court to the penitentiary. Gov. Stone pardoned him about a month ago for the pitrpo.se of having li 1 111 used as a witness atraiust the Taylor brothers. They naturally hud a motive for getting liiiu out of the way. It is reported that the Taylors had arrani'cd with the murdered husband and father to give him a team of horses and a wagon, so that he could leave the county and not be present at the time of the trial of the brothers. The mother f Meeks says that Thursday her son received a letter from the Taylors at Rrowuiiig, telling him to be in readiness to go away at 10 o'clock that n.rht; and that M-eksnnd the eh:!- ' dren waited for Taylor until mid night, when two men whom Meeks saiil were George and Kill Taylor, came to their home in a wagon. The mur dered man and his family got Into the wagon anil starlet! for Drowning. The only statement regarding the crime obtainable was from the "-year-old girl, who was suffering greatly at the time she told her story. It seems that when the Meeks family and the persons accompanying' them reached a point on the road near the schoolhouse in Lyon county, a small distance from 'Drowning, they wen attacked by two men who were lying in wait nn the roadside. Tiie first victim of the murderers' guns was Meeks. His wife jumped from the wagon in terror at the sound of the fatal shot, and then she was murdered in the same way. The fiends then seized large stones and beat the life out of the two children, leaving the third one for dead. The brains of the little ones were beaten out in a sickening manner. It is supposed the murderers hauled the bodies of their victims nearly two miles in the wagon to the Taylor farm, burying them under a hay stuck. At4;:i0 o'clock in the morning the living child regained her senses ami went to the residence of a Mrs. Carter near by. She told her terrible i.tory, and a boy who was sent to tJu Taylor farm to investigate, verified the horror by finding the bodies of the rest of the family as stated. The Carter boy, happening to meet George Taylor, unwittingly told him f the murders. Taylor lost no time in starting for Drowning on horseback. There he met his brother, and both left hurriedly on horseback. They got away before the news of the fiendish crime readied Drowning. A guard of citizens was placed at the h'i -stack. Soon it was discovered that a bloodfilajnu(! quiit wrapped around the hot!- . , , ,l .1 ,-.., i.liiif es had been on fire, the purpose being to destroy the evidence, of the crimes. A party of citizens also found the revolver' and a stone with which the murderers had committed the deeds at the scene of the murders. On the strength of descriptions furnished by the living girl the sheriff litis arrested Sharon McCullough, of Gould, anil George Ilowlett, of Lynn count', as accomplices in the crime. The surviving child says the murderers beat her into insensibility ami thought she was dead. The Taylor brothers have not been caught yet. but it is not believed theV can escape the vigilance of the law, reinforced by the citizens of several counties. FOUND MURDERED.
