tation in compelling others to travel a
much greater distance in order to attend
Court in Johnstown. Unless we are
much mistaken, there are persons resi-
ding within the limits of the proposed
new county who would have to travel
fece,aty-three or tacenty.tfUe miles to at
tend Court, and over roads equally as bad
as those complained of by the citizens of
Johnstown.
Another reason is that they have pea
ceably submitted TO the inconvenience OF
travelling to Ebensburg for number of
years, until their town has grown into
importance, and that now this very i'm
portance demands that their borough
should be erected into a capitol. This
shows at once their grasping disposition.
Instead of being satisfied with having two
railroads and a canal connected with thell
town, to which they are wholly indebted
for there present importance, they mus
rob other places in order 10 have county
seat Of their own.
w hen the fact, of the case are fully
made known, we do not believe that q
proposition of this kind can meet with thu
favor of the public. We know the move
ment has been gotten up by a few persons
whose property would rise in value ant
whose business would perhaps be increa
sed, by making their borough the centre
of legal transactions for county. We
also have every reason to believe that ;
large majority of the people within the
limits of the proposed new county are
opposed to The measure, and regard IT a:
means of increasing their taxes withou
i, being of any benefit 10 them in return. Ii
conclusion, we sincerely hope that ou
| friends in Johnstown, towards whom ou
feelings of friendship are so strong tina
we cannot for moment entertain the lde;
of dissolving old associations, will thlnI
better of a proposition SO ruinous to tn
!, welfare of Little Cambria and llk
good and loyal citizens abandon the mea
sure altogether. More anon.

Information Wanted.

Information is wanted of the wherea-
bouts OF a widow lady named Davis,
whose husband has been dead for several
years. She is supposed to reside in the
neighborhood Of Johnstown, or some
where in the southern part of this county.
If this notice should fall under her obser.
vation, she is informed that she is entitled
TO some eight or ten hundred dollars left
by her son, who was lately accidentally
killed in Iowa. He left this county iol
the west about three years since, and was
making preparations to return home a
the time Of his death. Any person ac-
quainted with the widow Davis will con
fer favor by showing her this notice.
Further information may be had by ap
plying to E. ]. Mills of this place.

JOHN BONNER,
Pennsylvania Coal.

The coal history of Pennsylvania Is
worthy of note. AS to the western or
bituminous range, until many years after
the middle of the last century, this vast
region was held to be of SO little value,
that the acquisition of the coal fields did
not In any respect, influence the arrange
ments between the parties, made at sun
dry times, by William Penn and his fam
lily, ,and subsequently by the proprietares.
By the treaty of l76S, the latter became
possessed OF nearly the whole area Of the
bituminous coal land for the sum of
ten thousand dollars; and about that time
the presence of coal, in certain pia ces,
seems to have first become known. 1t
was not until 1928, the first cargoes from
the Allegheny coal-felds reached Phaa-
delphia and Baltimore. But the great
region of anthracite in Eastern Pennsyl
vauia, with an area of 2S0,000 acres, is
! the most remarkable. With q broken sur
! face, century ago, large portion OF this
country had received, upon the maps the
title of the "W ilderness of St. Anthony"
1t was only about twenty-eight years ago,
that few tons of an unknown combusti-
BILE were brought to Philadelphia, where
ceived. Now, its annual production foI
consumption is over three millions of tons.
In connection with this subject is the pre-
diction, that London will adopt the use oi
the Welsh anthracite for domestic purpo-
ses, on the grounds of health comfort and
economy. The different works reviewed
declare, that the domestic use of the btu
minous, is an ''intolerable nuisance" on
account of its smoke, and producing q
sulphurous atmosphere untitled for living
and beathing in; while they praise the
''non-blazing, yet cleanly and econo mical
anthracite They further depict 'sthe
striking contrast between the murkey ex-
terror of some of the larger towns in Eng,
land, and the appearance of the city oi
Philadelphia, over which. Notwithstanding
its thousands of coal fires, there is nc
smoke"
In conclusion, it may be remembered
that one of the arguments against the Tar
iff of 1916, on the subject of coal, is tht
feared competition of the Nova Scotia ar
ticle in our own makets. The system O.
working the Nova Scotia collieries is des
cribed, and we recommend the following
passage to the consideration of our higf
tariffists.
ION the continuance of such deplora
BILE system, the rival coal proprietors of the
United States. may well found their calcu
lations of a remunerative trade in coal
with even greater certainty than on the in
fuence of tariffs, and the restriction of in
ternational regulations. p PennSyiua,aian

Fatal Accident.

A man by the name of Lewis, was kill
ed on Thursday last in the coal bank of
Richard Jones about three miles from this
place. He was at the time employed as
coal digger, and while at work large
piece of rock fell down on him, which
horribly mangled and crushed him. He
was not found until Saturday last, when
a Coroner's inquest was held over his re-
mains who rendered a verdict in accor-
dance with the facts. He was a Welsh
man, but lately arrived in this country, e.,
and was supposed to be forty-five or fifty
wears of age.
