Some persons' conjectured that looking

The prUener's counsel gave notice of
an appeal. - He eaya be will look careful
ly into all the evidence and , determine
whether he will appeal er-not. . The odds
are that he will not appeal. ' Be declares
thal'it he could have had the case . de
ferred until July he could have saved
Jones from the gallows snd put him in
the department for the criminal insane
in tbe penitentiary. He says that Jones

PROBABLY A HOAX.
The Reported Big Sale of Alabama Coal to
- English Syndicate.
Special te Journal.
New Tobe, March, 81 Representa
tives of the Southern Coal Companies la
this city said they regarded the dispatch
from New Orleans announcing the sale
of 2,000,000 tons of Alabama coal to an
English syndicate, at 75 cents per ton al
the mauth of the coal pits, with 50 cents
allowance per ton for transportation
from New Orleans, making the low price
of 11.50, as highly improbable, if not a
glganlio hoax. " '
. J O. Maber said the coal could not be
bought at 73 cents a ton ' anywhere in
those mining regions. The freight raits
from New Orleans were never lower
than $1.25 per ton, and now prebably
$1.75 per ton. .
