wonderful Discovery Of C0al-Its
Character and Extent.

A correspondent Of the Chicaga
Tribune thinks the coal deposit at
Almy, on the Union Pacific, 957 miles
both from Omaha and San Francisco,
is crobabjy the most wonderfulin the
world. He says the range OF hills in
which the coal was situated Is 200 TO
500 teet high, and appears 10 conform
IA direction to the course Of Bear
River, running nearly north aud
south to the site of the works, and
then sweeping round with the river
to the west.
The Wyoming coal belt extends

Hadyn to be of lower tertiary age.
In the neighborhood of Utah it Is
found only in the vicinity Of the gray

Tue general properties of the coal
place is at least in the foremost rank
of Rocky Mountain Goals. Indeed,
much more is claimed for it, namely,
that it is a better article, ton for ton,
than Lehigh coal, for making steam
for domestic use, for locomotives, or
gas, because it has not so much waste,
water, ash or clinker. and is quicker
and more infammable. 1t is claimed
that it makes 10000 feet of gas to the
ton. Pittsburg coal makes but 8 500
The. average work of the engines on
the PENNSYLVANIA Central is forty
miles per ton. This coal is in use By
the passenger engines of the Central
Pacific for five hundred miles west OF
Ogden, and q ton Of two thousand
pounds runs an engine seventy five
miles. 1t is as good for blacksmith
use as anything but the best charcoal

THE Louisville Courier Journal
devotes over six columns of its val
liable space to what it calls an
annual review Of the louisville Leaf
Tobacco Market" mainly,a as it naive
ly admits. for the purpose of demon
strating that Louisville is the largest
and most important inland tobacco
market in the world. We think the
Courier Journal is shrewd in this. Ii
will require long articles and much
arguing to convince many of the to-
bacco planters that it is the most i'm
portant market for them. They re-
gard that market as "the most impor-
tant" where they can obtain the best
returns for their crops, and Louisville
has several very strong competitors
in that particular.

City Orders.

A gentleman, who has occasion to
use large amount of City orders,
yesterday informed US that he was of
feriug ninety six cents for them, but
could ind but few persons willing to-
sell at that price.
What story does this fact tsd2.
Simply that the financial management
OF Tia present City Council has been
of a character to elevate the credit of
the city. and to make its obligations
almost equal to the currency of the
country. And yet the people are asked
to sDurn the Council that has done
this public benefit Courier.
The STORY that this fact tells" is
very simple and easily understood. It
shows that the city council instead Of
issuing orders for its Gu mt expenses,
has resorted to tn ,..-4erto untried
experiment of issuing bonds. Whether
it is good fnanciering to supplant
orders, averaging not over three or
four per cent. interest, with ten per
cent. bonds, Is for tax payers to decide.
We don't think any good business
man would regard himself as getting
rich very fast. while converting e
three per cent. interest bearing in.
debtedness ipto one bearing ten Der
cent. interest.

A NEW LIGHT.
The City OF Erie Lighted With Gas
FFUm Wells

Many persons have recently bored
wells IN different parts Of the city OF
Erie, Pa for the purpose of procur-
ing gas for fuel in manufactures. aud
10 some cases for heaiing dwellings.
The gas company also put down wells,
and are now able to dispense with
manufactured gas for lighting the city,
as the following from Thursdays
Erie Republican, attests:
Yesterday afternoon the Erie Gas
Company turned on the flow OF nat
urai gas from the well which they
have recently completed, aud last
night tested its virtue through the
mains, aud thence to the street lamps,
stores and houses of the city. Not a
few we're somewhat surprised on
lighting up to notice flicker
ing at first, and an apparent un-
certainty about the light which
they were at q loss TO account Tor.
This was undoubtedly caused by air
in the pipes, which, after short
space of time, was driven out by the
volume of gas, and a bright, steady
light was the result, although we
noticed there was not that evenness
in all burners which proceeded from
the old method, some parts of the city
being very brilliantly Illuminated
and others showing fainter although
a good light. This difficulty will
doubtless be remedied. The expert
ment is considered a success.
In addition to the above we give
the following facts, telegraphed from
Erie Thursday night:
| This city was lighted last night ant
tonight by natural gas, obtained b,
the Erie Gas Company from a wei
sunk near their works. Thirteen ga
wells are now In successful operation
in various parts of the city. The
are used mostly to furnish fuel an
lights for the manufacturers. Othe
wells are being sunk. Gas is found a
an average depth of $50 feet, and th
average yield per well is upwards G
10000 cubic feet per day. The ga
requires no publication, and IS bein
rapidly introduced into private house
for fuel. Thus far every well pU
down has proved success.

The DanYille Railroad.

On Saturday last, Mr.. j. J. Daniels,
of Rockville, completed his contract
by finishing the masonry of tho FIVE
piers and two ab1tments of the
bridge at Cincinnati. The work pre-
sents a very handsome appearance,
and is pronounced first class in every
respect.
On the same day the first of the
three spans of the superstructure was
finished, having been put up in one
week. The contractors have Increased
their force and will finish the entire
Job In about two weeks from this
date. 1t will be magnificent bridge.
Several miles of the track have been
ballasted and are as smooth as any
road in the State; and work on the
line generally is progressing most ia
vorably.
As an illustration of the value of
railroads in agricultural regions, We
are informed that real estate, along
the entire line, has advanced very
considerably-more than enough, in
the aggregate, to pay the entire cost of
the road. Many substantial farmers
from other sections, where the high
price of land has tempted them to sell,
are prospecting for farms in VeTmil-
lion County. the garden of Indiana,
but are not able to find desirable
tracts Offering at less then fifty dol
lars per acre; some are held at much
higher figures.-Terre Hdute Erpress

The SsOrm-Fears or the Loss OF the
Steamer Yaruna with all on Board.


NEW YoRK, Nov. 2.-Grave fears
are entertained that the steamship
Varuna, belonging to Messrs. G. II.
Mallory & Co.'s line, hence to Calves
ton, has been lost with all on board.
This vessel left New York on her reg
ular trip for that port on Saturday,
October 10Th, and had no accident of
disastrous nature happened to her,
she would have been at Galveston
over a week ago. The latest intelli-
gence received by her owners of her
whereabouts, is contained in 4 meagre
report from tee New Orleans steam
ship Desoto, which adviees state that
on the evening of the 19th, when off
Jupiter Inlet, Florida, the missing
steamship was seen by them, but since
which time she has not been heard
from. The gravest apprehensions are
felt by those who have relatives on
board.
Arrivals of steamships from New
Orleans for the past few days report
that the Florida coast is covered with
portions of wrecks and parts of once
valuable cargoes. But little informa-
ton is given to point to a recognition
of many of the vessels caught in and
torn to pieces by the terrible hurri-
! canes that ran riot IN the Gulf of Mex
| leo during the month just passed.
The Varuna left this port with
thirty. six cabin passengers, many of
whom were members of the first fami
lies in Texas, being influential per-
sons who had spent the summer
North, and were returning to their
homes for the winter. Among them
was a member of the British Parlia-
ment, who was journeying through
the States on a tour of pleasure and
observation.
The names of these passengers arc
as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. f. Hitchcock, G.
Ruttlay, l. l.. Briggs, A. Lewis, j
Blum, II. Blum, A. Cohen, S.. South
wick, Mr.. Appenbeimer, Mr.. Bernard,

and family. five in all, Mrs. George
w. Seaor, George Leddy, and James
Hand.
The officers of the missing vessel
we're experienced and able men. Can
tain James Spencer had always been
regarded as one of the most compe-
tent masters out of this port. The en-
rireer's department was well manned
BY skillful gentlemen; and Of Benja-
min Austin, Chief Engineer, his rep
utation was excellent.
The cargo Of the Varuna consisted
chiefly of dry goods, and was worth,
