= Anthracite coal was discovered Ia
of The Wyoming valley, but its frst
practical use was by Obediah Gose "a
bis blacksmith shop in the year 1768.
In 179l Philip Ginter discovered anthras
CITE coal on the Lehigh. In 1702 Robert
Morris. Of Philadelphia, formed q con-
pany and purchased 5000 acres. of the
property on which Ginter discovered the
coal. The coal company was called the
Lehigh Coal Nine This company
opened the mine and found the vein to
De NIFTY feet thick. and of the very best
every effort to secure demand FOR the,
coal, but without success, and. having
become thoroughly disgusted with their
speculation, leased the 5000 acres of
this mammoth coal field to .Messra.
White Hazzard, of PHILADELPHIA. for
twenty years, at an annual rental value
OF one ear Of corn. Messrs. White &
HazSard tried TO use the coal in the
blast furnace in 1926, but failed; the
furnace chilled. In 1881 Nelson con-
ceived the idea Of the hot blast for saw
adopted the idea Of the hot blast and
anthracite together. White & Hazzard
had, previous to this, formed company
and bought the property. In 1889 David
Thomas made the use Of anthracite for
making pig metal a success, by which
the twenty ears of corn were transferred
into $40, 900 900. And this is the early
history Of the great Lehigh Valley coal
mines OF the present day.
remember well the banquet given by
Burd Patterson and Nicolas Biddle, at
Mount Carbon. in 1910, at which time
they paid William Lyman, proprietor Of
the Pioneer furnace, 5000, the premium
they had offered for the tirst successful
use of anthracite coal as fuel in the BLAST
furnace. But David Thomas was the
lion of the day; it was he who showed
them how TO do it; and hale and hearty
to-day, as then, he stands worthy rep

The annual statement of the debt Of
BROOKLYN on Sept. 1, ~ given by Comptrol-
Ter POWELL. iustifles everything we have
said respecting the amount Of Indebtedness
built up for our ncighbors by the KINsEILA
Ring. The Edgle writes two-column articles
toshow that wearea all wrong that the debt
IL mere matter Of hflecn or twenty mil
lions and that the Ring is confederation
of eminent citizens bent only on bcnutify-
ing and improving the city of Churches.
So blandly and plausibly talks Mr.. KIN
sELLA that one is almost led into the belief
that he and KINGSLEY, his Ring partner,
have built the bridge and the reservoir
and laid down the NICHOLSON pavements
at their own individual expense. The
Eagle defends its client with n great show
of honesty and desire to elicit the truth I;
but to lis its tone seems rather like that of
men detected in wrong-doing than OF
patriotic citizens solicitous of building up
for themselves monument erected in the
hearts of the people in return for public
services unselfishly performed, and in
tegrity proof against the Vaccinations Of
evil contractors.
The debt OF Brooklyn, according to
Comptroller POWELL, was, on the first Of
the present month";
Permanent loans ................ ... tos O63 900
Temporary loans for Local improve 106S5. 800
Citys share Of the county deDt........... S72G,s5O
Total SiO475 $50
Tax certificates anticipatOry OF tsxcs.... 1859 900
tle 3l $50
1t will he seen that the Comptroller
agrees in his statement pretty closely with
THE SUNS figures, ms given for some time
back. Since the 1st of January the debt
has increased Si0G52L The Ring will un-
doubtedly whistle these unsatisfactory
sums away, and celebrate the zeal with
which they have administered the city's
finances. They have a newspaper organ
which publishes long leading articles TO
extol the Rings purity of conduct; and If
II was not so hot just now, and we did not
know that the editor was Il Ring chief, we
should read them with care, and perhaps
be alured into believing them.
