The Coal and Iron Measures of Ohio.

The coal measures of Ohio spread
over an area of upward of 10000 square
miles, and enclose 20 beds of coal of
workable thickness aggregating IS feet.
Every variety of bituminous coal is met
"a the series. from the ordinary house
coal to the finest grades of steam, gas
and furnace fuels. The different coal
regions of the State are the "MahOning
Valley" the "Tuscarawas Valley" the
Hooking Valley" jackson Valley
the "Salineville District" the "Steuben-
vile District" the "Bellaire District"
the "Pomeroy District" the Hanging
Rock district" the Cambridge district"
the "Del Roy district" and the Wheel
ing Valley" Seven million tons were
the product of the mines last year, ac
cording to the report of the Inspector of
Mines. Eighteen thousand persons are
engaged in and about the mines in pre-
pairing the coal for market. There are
three kinds of mines in use for reaching
the coal, namely, the shaft, the slope
and the drift. The slope is a slanting
shaft and is only used where the seam
of coal lies near the surface; where drift
ing is practiced the beds are level free or
above the water level. The Goals main
ly wrought at present are: the lower
seam of the series-"Bear HILL" MAS
sillon" and jackson" the great vein,
Shawnee, Straitsville, Nelsonville and
Sunday Greek, and the Pittsburgh, Bel
laire, Pomeroy, etc. ALI the mines in
the State are drawn from these three
Goals. There are 900 mines in opera
ton. but only 315 are shipping mines,
the remaining 2S5 being termed "coun-
try banks" that is, the coal is mined
and sold for local use.
The beds of iron ore in the coal meas
ures of the State, though much thinner
than the coal seams, are nevertheless as
numerous and as valuable as the GOALS
There are in Ohio 100 blast furnaces,
spread over twenty counties, all of
which use some native ore, and nearly
one-third of them depend on the native
ores altogether for the manufacture of
iron. The ores are known by various
names. like the coal, such as the Hang
ing Rock ore, the Blackband ore, the
Red ore, etc. The most valuable bed is
the Grey ore. found in the lower coal
measures between Goals No. and No. 5
of the geological nomenclature. The
Blackband is next in value. The
Grey ore is the Hanging Rock ore; the
Blaekband is the Mineral Ridge and
Tuscarawas county ores.
The limestones of the coal measures,
though not so valuable as the coal and
iron ore beds, are still valuable in the
uses to which they are put as huxes
in the blast furnaces, and are more val
uablein proportion to their proximity to
the coal and ore beds. The fire clays
which usually underlie the coal and ore
beds are being used in the manufacture
of fire brick in different localities Of the
State. Some of these fire clays are of un-
usual fine quality.

Courier-Journal Washington Letter.l
Gossips have busily discussed one
scene which occurred on Monday
when Malone made his speech. On
that day Mrs Window, Mrs. John
Sherman, Mrs Ben Harrison and
other ladies entitled to seats in the
gallery set apart for the iamilirs OF
the cabinet and senator's, repaired to
the galleries aud we're surprised when
told that all the seats were filled, and
that there was not even standing
room. They saw two benches were
vacant, but were told that these seats
we're reserved by order of the vice
president. The ladies went around
to the ladies' gallery opposite and
squeezed in. They watched to soc
who it was that ranked them, and why
the vice-presidenL should give orders
that no one should take possession Of
the vacant seats until the party
arrived. Imagine their chagrin and
disgust when Mrs. Sprague and party
entered, as usual, late, as to attract
attention, and after she and her
friends were seated, then ladies who
were sitting on the steps were per-
mitted to Gil the vacant places which
the party did not want. Could Mr..
V. p. Arthur hear the remarks and
comments made by those who were
kept out, he would point to Mr.. Conk-
ling and say, MY double, and how he
undid mel

LOUISVILLE.
A General Strike Among Railroad
Platform LabOrers.
Partial concessions by one Road.

LOUISVILLE, April 19.-The strike
among the railroad platform laborers
is on the increase, and to-day the
hands doing platform work on the O..
& NJ. road joined in the demand for
increased wages.
This was brought about by other
strikes, backed by the Amalgamated
union, who are determined tc hold out
for their demands, and are working
for a general strike among the platform
hands of roads touching at this point.
The 0. &. M. road refused to accede
to their demands, and they stopped
work. They are about fifteen in
number.
The hands at the j. M. & /. road
we're waited on by a committee Of the
strikers, which resulted in those work
ing on the Main street side, twenty in
number, making application for the ad-
vance asked by the strikers. Mr.. Hub
bel, local freight agent o fthe road, told
them to contiRue at work till noon,
and in the meantime he would see
what could be done for them. This
they agreed to do, and at noon they
we're informed that the j. NJ. e. l. road
would pay as much as any of the
other roads, and under that assurance
the men concluded to work. If the
strikers are successful in their efforts
for a raise, the j. NJ. & l.. men will
get the benefit of the increase. They
are a small body, and cannot aid ma
t~erially in the strike, and their contin-
uing at work will have little bearing
on the issues between the strikers and
the roads. At the Louisville and
Nashville road nearly all the old plat
form hands have quit work, but the
road has managed to find a fair sup
ply of men to do the work. Being
green, however, they cannot work near
as fast, nor do the work as we'll as the
old hands. The usual number of
hands employed about the platforms
Of the Louisville and Nashville road,
not including the union forces, is be-
tween seventy-fve and one hundred.
There are at work now on the plat
form sixty men. Yesterday fifty ne
groes from different points between
here and Nashville, aid some from
points lower down the road, arrived.
They would not go to work, however,
saying that if they had known the
strikers had done quit" they would
not have come.

Charlie Ross in England.

Another clew to the lost Charlie
Ross has been discovered, and ii
comes to light through Colonel John
W. Forney, who has received a letter
from Robert Benjamin Hugman, dated
Ne. 36 Greenwood road, Dalston, Lon.
don, N. E. March 81, 1881. In this
letter Mr.. Hugman says he was under
the impression that the boy had been
restored to his parents until he saw a
paragraph in a paper to the contrary a
short time ago. up to the 18th of
this month" he writes to Colonel For
ney, 81 lived at L~oughton, Essex,
twelve miles northeast Of London.
My two youngest children attended a
school there, to which place, also a
Charlie Ross came. He was a pretty
child, and, though a woman with
whom he lived there passed him off as
her son George, he often talked with
my children, the girl especially, and
said his name was not George,
but Charlie Ross, and that the woman
was not his mother; that he was
brought from America in a big ship:
and my girl has frequently spoken to
her mother how hard it must be for
him to be stolen from his home, He
has frequently told my children that
his mother was a lady. / have often
seer him with this questionable per
son, and have of late lost sight of her,
though have been told where she is
now to be found. The boy left u
village some time ago, as / understood,
to be sent home. and from what | have
since heard | think this boy is the one
who was stolen away from home. and
answers to the description given Of
Charlie Ross" This letter is accom-
panied by one from w. G. Kingsbury,
who is a well-known business man in
London and a personal friend of Col
oDel FOrnoy's. He indorses Mr.. Hug
mans statement, and writes about
a year ago, when | was spending a
night at his beautiful villa at Lourh-
ton, the children of his family brought
up the subject Of Charlie. and Mi. and
Mrs. Hugman related what they knew
Of the matter but at that time | SUP.
posed the boy had been found.
and told them this could not
possibly be the American boy,
and gave it very little attention. Mrs
H.. told me that the woman who had
him in charge always went yelled, her
excuse being that her husband was
abroad and she had taken a vow not 10
show her face in public until he re.
turned; but her face was often seen
one way or another, and she was pro
nounced a very ordinary-looking wo.
man. The boy himself used TO talk
about it with the children, and when
the woman would come to take him
from their plays he use to say: Go
away, now; you amt my mother. Nv
mother is a lady, and she lives away
over the water, ETC." Mr.. KiDgsbury
Gays a short time previous to this the
boy was taken away, and the woman
herself moved to another place. and
he adds: Il have hardly any doubt but
that this was and is the veritablc
Charlie Ross, and that if he has been
taken away the woman could tell
something about it. If we can make
any new discoveries we will write OF
cable you as soOn as made"

disorders and debility, bilious COM

a NEW NEIGHBOR,
Ana How He Played ii ON His
Grocer.

"Please wrap me up a couple OF
pounds of cut sugar." said a stranger
to a South Memphis grocer the other
day, and when it was done handed the
clerk a twenty-dollar bill. AS there
was no change in the till, the mer-
chant was about to go out with it,
when the stranger said:
"Oh, never mind. l have moved
down on the next block, and will call
and get the change some time"
He went out with the sugar, and
next day called and received the
change and went off.
In a few minutes he rushed ex-
citedly back and exclaimed
"You gave me fifteen cents too much
change, friend, and my conscience
wouldn't allow me to keep it. Hero
it is" and out walked the new neigh
Dor, while the grocer smilingly re-
marked to his clerk that that was the
kind of man to deal with"
Next day the new customer found a
dime on the floor and very conscien-
tiously turned it over to the merchant.
This went on for a week or so, when
one day the honest customer called
and ordered a months groceries and
had them sent home, saying he would
call next day as he had forgotten his
pocket book. The grocer smiled
sweetly, said certainly" with en-
phasi,, and bowed him out with much
grace.
The next day a deputy sheriff from
neighburing village levied on the
goods and chattels Of the new neigh
Dor and forever destroyed the faith Of
the bamhouzled grocer who is now
prepared to Kick every man into the
gutter who finds a three cent piece on
his floor.

There is a new Mrs. Fresh" John
I. Raymond, the comedian, and Miss
Courtney Barnes, an actress of some
note, were married in the Continental
hotel. at II o'clock Monday morning.
Mr.. Raymond reached the Continental
Sunday night, and, although invita-
lions we're sent around, the prepara-
tions for the matrimonial affair we're
conducted very quietly. The bride, in
a pearl.colored dress, and the groom in
a gray tweed suit, appeared promptly
on time, and the Rev. Robert Collyer,
of Brooklyn, New York, performed
the ceremony in the presence Of Henry
Il. Abbott, joseph Wheeler, Il. W..
Dovemus, Ella Melton, Mrs. Wood
hull, Mr.. Stuart, and half-a-dozen
other personal friends. After the
ceremony Mr.. Raymond gave his wife
a handsome diamond bracelet, and
several other presents of silverware.
Less valuable articles were received
from friends in New York aud Phila-
delphia. Then came the usual con-
gr~atulations, and before they we're con-
cluded Salvini came in and rendered
his with the rest. After enjoying a
lunch the newly-married couple left for

In the following summer he went to
England with h. A. Sothern, to play
the same part, and remained there
several years. He and Miss Marie

next dramatic success was made in
1874, as Mulberry Sellers, in Mark
Twain's "Gilded Age After four
years the Gilded Age" became

as it was not successful, he, in 1879,

The new prohibitory liquor law Of
Kansas goes into operation May /.
The saloons in the interior of the state
have nearly all been closed already,
and Gov. st. John says that on the LIST
Of next month there will not be an
open bar in Kansas" The law does
not prohibit the sale of a tincture or
compound used solely for medicinal
purposes, or for the manufacture ofper-
iumeiy, nor does it prohibit the use of
wine for sacramental uses as has been
alleged. Hereafter the drinking of
intoxicants in Kansas will have to be
done in secret, and it is probable that
there will be many devices to evade
the law as in Maine.
