TOLD OF DEATH OR DISASTER. Lucky Escape Due to Heeding the Mysterious Messages of the Prophetic Visions A Vivid Dream That Resulted In Preventing a Murder. In spite of the number of authenticated cases of dreams that have come true, the percentage of prophetic dreams tbat are actually fulfilled must be very small. However, it must be confessed Wat a considerable number of people bave escaped death or disaster by paying heed to a dream warnlug. Wrecks have figured in more than one prophetic dream, bath the loss of the Republic and the Berlin being foretold in dreams.

A man was once about to sail for Norway with 11 friend, but ou the night before be should have started he dreamed that he stood upon a mountain surrounded by water and that the water gradually began to submerge the peak. Just as be was in danger of being drowned be woke, and so vividly was the dream impressed upon his mind that he decided not to sail. A few days later the ship by which he should have traveled went down with all hands. Then there is the case of a lady who was about to leave India for England, but was deterred by a dream. Several days before the date set for her departure she had a vision in which she saw the vessel by which she was to sail on fire in midoeean.

The sequel was tbat a fire actually did break out under the conditions indicated, but after hard work by the crew it was extinguished witbont loss of life. Yet a third instance was mentioned in one of the shippiug papers a few years ago. An apprentice up for his second mate's ticket failed and was sent to sea for another voyage ln a sailing ship. He was appointed boatswain of a line sailing ship trading with Australia and New Zealand. The night before he signed on he bad a vivid dream in which he saw bis ship sailing along in Gne weather under a full spread of canvas.

Soon a thick bank of sen fog closed round the clipper, although the dreamer could still see everything on board as clearly as before. All at once something glimmered through the mist, and before anything could be dono a huge iceberg crashed into the ship, the noise of the collision and tbe falling spars waking him. 'So vivid was the dream that the vessel left without her proper boatswain, and since theu she has figured among tbe missing. The curious thing about it, said tbe was that never before or since can be remember having dreamed of sea life. it is also on record tbat a shipwreck.

ed crew were once brought back to civ ilization through tbe instrumentality of a dream. An East Indianmau ran ashore on Inaccessible island, in the Atlantic, and for three months the pas sengers and crew subsisted as best they could. During tbat time a rough boat was built, and in this they were transported to Tristan D'Acunha. Sev eral weeks later a ship appeared off the island because ber owner bad dreamed a shipwrecked crew bad land ed there. As clothes were scarce.

rough and ready garments were made out of soma green and red baize which happened to be on board. Curiously enough, before the return of tbe vessel the owner's wife had a dream in which she saw it sailing into port with people dressed in green and red on board. ana again a miner relates a dream tbat saved him from sudden death, although strangers do not often hear these stories. There was once a bad accident at a Derbyshire pit. sev eral men being killed by a foil of the cage.

One of the men who should have been in that cage was absent, for he bad a dream that it was dashed to pieces, falling from the very top with all the men inside it. On hearing the dream bis wife persuaded him to stay at home that day. hen Melton Prior, the famous war artist, died most of the papers told the story of the dream warning he had when in Zulnland. At first be deter mined to disregard it, but it made such an Impression on him that he at last determined to keep away from the col umn he intended to join. He engaged another man to go.

and be was among tbe first killed. From time to time crimes, even mur der, have been prevented by a dream. A lady saw in a dream an old relative being murdered, so she posted off to ber bouse and was surprised to find tbe door opened by tbe very man she bad seen commit the deed. She ob tained permission to sleep with the old lady and before retiring asked tbe two sons of the latter to sit up all night in the adjoining room. As soon as tbe old lady bad gone to sleep she got out of bed and locked the door and then lay awake, listening.

After what seemed hours a ray of light appeared under tbe doqr and the knob was carefully turned. Leaping out of bed. she called tbe sons, threw open tbe door and found tbe manservant outside with a coal scuttle in his band. On being asked by the lady nd tbe men what be wanted be re plied tbat be bad answered the bell. Rut no bell bad been rung, and in the coal scuttle was a knife! Then he saw tbe game was up and confessed.

The day before bis mistress bud received ber rents, which were kept. In her room until they were paid into tbe bank the next day. and he had and denly determined to murder her fui the money. London Family Herniil. Washington, April 24.

W. Yaseen 63 North Main SAWS REVIEW OF In anthracite the most interesting feature is that dealers tind that they cannot get sizes just as they want them.

In viiew of certain ill considered comments as to prospective over supply, cut prices, tihds is somewhat of an eye opener to those who have pinned (their faiilth to the erroneous observations referred to above. It is true that March was a very discouraging mcnth. Instead of coming to the rescue of the trade, as It does 19 times out of 20, it was much warmer than usual and this circumstance added to prospect of usual April discount soon becoming effective and coupled with a wide spread spirit of irritation because of unpleasant features of the past season brought matters, tc a standstill, almost, so far as new orders were concerned. Sut as we have so ofter. said, there is a lot of coal being used up all the time.

The dtya that have elapsed since the middle of March (many ot them good coal burning days) have made a vast difference in stocks on hand and the slow arrival of certain kinds and sizes has exemplified our oft repeated comments as to supply and demand.
