SYNAGOGUE Some two years since
the Israelites of Austin raised $500
with which they purchased two beauti-
full lots near st. Mary's Academy.
During the last Hebrew holidays it was
resolved that the time was come to
erect house of worship. We under
stand that now the sum of $4,000 has
been raised, which will be at once used
towards the erection of q synagogue.
Messrs. Wahrenberger & Larmour have
furnished very handsome plan for the
building, which will be 60x40, of brick
aud stone. At the last meeting of the
Society of Hebrews building COM
miitee consisting of five members, of
which Mr.. p. DeCordova is chairman,
was authorized to advertise for bids to
erect the foundation of the intended
synagogue. Tie congregation will
build as fast as they can raise the mon
ey. Much credit is due to Messrs. Hell
man, Hirshfeld, Moses, Phillipson and
some others, who have put this ball in
motion

MAJOR SPRINGER, superintendent of
the Brszos Camel Coal Company, of
Calvert, was in the city Tuesday. He
has succeeded in finding coal equal in
every respect to that of Colorado,
Wyoming and Oregon, and superior to
IL In its freedom from sulphur. 1t
much resembles the West Vir-
ginia cannels for household purposes
and is superior to the Pennsylvania
hard Goals, being more easily kindled
and more manageable in every way.
The coal field in Robertson county is of
vast extent, although much of it is of
inferior quality, and Major s. is enthusi-
astic in the belief that the cheap steam
and household fuel that it affords will
give decided impetus to the material
progress of the State. The presence
aud labors of practical men of this
sort are appreciated, and we wish ev-
cry success tt his enterprise, and hope
Austin may soon reap some of the
benefits OF this enterprise in cheaper
fuel. The potter's clay overlying the
coal stratum is of very fiue quality.
Specimens of moulding from this clay
may be seen at the STATESMAN Office.
