land. His friends calculate also upon
the vote Of the Southern States, most OF
which are now claimed for Morton, but
are almost certain to be brought over TO
Conkling. The Conkling managers cal.
calato that Blaine and Morton are now
virtually out OF The race, and that the
real contest in the Convention will be be.
tween Conkling and Bristow.
II is assumed by the friends Of Mr..
Conkling that he will, II nominated, COM
manl the full strength OF the party, and
In pressing his nomination they do not
stop to consider contingencies. Their
first objective point is his nomination.
This they propose to work for regardless
OF all other considerations.
They argue that conkling would get as
many votes as any other candidate, and
will not admit the possibility of risking
anything by crowding him through the
Convention. They will also be in Gin
cinnati in full force. Quarters have al
ready been engaged for over two thous.
and men from New York, who will work
up the enthusiasm, and do the outside

stead Of using crate bars he employed u
perforated iron plate for the FIRE 70 rest
upon. A pipe from the boiler conveyed
the steam and the necessary pressure sup
piled the blast, and this stroke proved to
be the keynote Of the entire coal dirt
problem. II burned freely and threw out
an immense heat. The oldest dirt was
used to see il 1t possessed burning quail
ties, and II was found that II consumed
freely, the same as the best Of coal. 1t was
next tried in the furnace OF a locomotive
engine and was found to burn equally
we'll. The other day, when the wind was
blowing at the velocity Of forty miles m
hour, coal dirt burning engine took up
train Of one hundred cars through the
valley with the same ease and with rs
little labor as an engine burning the very
best anthracite coal. This Is regarded as
great revolution in the coal and iron
company, because il transforms at least
1000, 900 tons OF heretofore useless coal
dirt into fuel worth at the very least
one dollar per ton, and provides way to
consume all coal dirt that may come 10
the surface in the future"
Millions OF tons Of this coal dirt may
be found at the collieries in this vicinity,
Heretofore it has been allowed to go to
waste.
