Mine Inspectors Report.

State Mine Inspector Andrew Roy
il his animal report TO the Governor,
iii.sl last week, places the total number
of tons of coal taken out this year at
9.45o,000. an excess over the yield of
1881. of 100000 tons.
Speaking of the coal resources of Ohio.
the total coal supply yet undeveloped is
estimated at S5,000,000 tons, or at the
present rate of consumption enough to
last for 400 years. AS computed by the
report. the annual coal product of Ohio
doubles every ten years. At this rate,
in 1892. the total production will have
reached the enormous sum of 1S,9O0,OOO
tons. Attention is called to the wasting
of coal on account of lack of skilled
mine engineers and accurate maps of
mines. The coal product so far taken
from Ohio coal mines, is about 100000
600 tons. and the Inspector is of the
opinion that an equal amount has been
wasted on account of lack of -accui ate
plats or maps of the different mines and
engineering skill.
Attention is called in the report to the
weighing and screening system in vogue,
of which miners complain. Inspector
Roy is of the opinion that the Legisla-
ture should appoint commission to in
yestigate the cause Of complaint.

THE Congregational Church at Eas-
ten, Massachusetts seems to have been
Substantial gamer by the recent cleo
tion in that State, and the members
thereof are correspondingly happy. 1t
appears that the edifice of this church
was destroyed by fire some time ago, and
efforts have been made to secure funds
to rebuild. Among the persons applied
to for subscription was the Hon. Oliver
Ames. then Republican candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, who is a resident
of Easton. Mr.. Ames jokingly said he
would give twenty-five hundred dollars
If he was elected Lieutenant Govern or.
provided the successful candidate for
Governor would do the same. 1t Is said
that Gen. Ben. Butler by some means
heard of the promise of Mr.. Ames, and
offered AT once TO comply with the latter
Condition if he should be so fortunate as
to be chosen Governor of Massachusetts.
The result we all know. Ben. Butler
was elected Governor, and Mr.. Ames
Iieutenant-Governor, and the church at
Easton confidently expects to add the
sum of $4,000 to its building fund.

HENDRYSBURGH.

BURGLARY.-One of the boldest and
most successful robberies ever perpe-
trated here was one that occurred here
last Friday night. The burglars enter
ed the store of John II. Parks, and
blowing open the safe secured about
seven hundred dollars in money, togeth
er with six hundred dollars worth of
notes due Mr.. Parks. Some five hundred
or five hundred and fifty dollars belonged
to the Township, Mr.. Parks being Treas
urer. The burglars would have secured
more money, but it was deposited in the
Barnesville Bank, except the above
amount which had been retained for
temporary purposes. The loss is heavy
to Mr.. Parks and he has the sympathy
of the entire community. The burglars
entered by forcing the door open by
means of chisels. Once in they proceed
ed to drill hole through the steel plate
of the safe door, and using powder slew
the safe entirely open. No one knew
anything of the affair until Saturday
morning. when some one passing
store door ajar. Mr.. Parks was immedi-
ately notified, but too late. There is no
clue to the robbers.
The report is that we are to have an
other saloon soon. If true, we are very
sorry, as two are already in operation
Moses Kline and Wm. Gardner. Both
men were indicted by the grand jury of
last court, fined and ordered to give
bond to sell according to law or close
their business; but we believe they have
done neither. II there were fewer sd
looms possibly we would not have so
many burglarieS ard other crimes. 1t is
the duty of all good citizens to aid in the
suppression of the Illegal sale of liquors,
and We hope that those who have been
ordered to close or give bond and have
not done so, will he dealt with severely
by the court as they deserve.
Mr.. Geo. w. Chpsscl bought property
in Martins Ferry. and removed to that
place last Thursday. lie and his family
will be missed here.
Samuel Upton has bought property
and removed to town.
Our schools are progressing finely
under charge of w. r. Talbot, w. NJ
Sells and Miss Kate Gray. The teachers
and scholars have concluded that the
old bell has served its time, and, conse-
quently, raised money sufficient to buy a
$50 pound bell, which will be up in a
day or two.
VIM. Pack is quite sick with asthma
Moses Trimmer is afflicted with dry
modification in one of his feet.
L. S. Rosengrant still continues to Wis
it DR.. Jones. His ailment is an affec-
tion of the heart, but hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery.
Rev. Moses preached here for the
third time, last Sabbath, and his congre-
cations are increasing. He is An ener
getic worker, and with the support of
the members of the church will do good
work.
The town hall is like the Republican
party-not dead, but sleepeth.

THE North AMERICAN REVIEW for
December commands attention no less
by the eminence of its contributors than
by the value and timelinesS of its table
of contents. First, there is symposi-
um on THE Health of American Wo-
men," regarded from three distinct
points of view: DR.. Dio Lewis considers
the question as it is affected by the pre-
vailing style of feminine attic Mrs Eliz-
abeth Cady Stanton points out the many
injurious influences of social inviron-
ment; and DIR. James Read Chadwi
set forth the effects of education, climate
and food. Gov. Buren, r. Sherman, of
Iowa, writes of the Constitutional
Prohibition" of the liquor traffic i'm that
State, and maintains that the measure
is in entire accord with the traditions of
the original settlers, and approved by
men of all political parties and
all natiOnalities. Gen. Grant, i'm an ar
ticle entitled IAN Undeserved Stigma"
states the facts of Gen.-Fitz John Por-
ter's case, and argues that the sentence
of the court martial that cashiered him
was based on a miscOnception of the es-
sential circumstances. Richard A. Proc
tor writes of 'The Influence of Food on
Civilization" discussing with much
learning and force some of the most
interesting sociological promblems of
the present day and of the near future.
Prof. Fisher, of Yale College, in defining
the causes of "The Decline of Clerical
Authority" holds that this decline, which
affects the status of the church and min
lister only as a part or function of the
secular State ia nv NO mpanS fo ha m
gretted. and that the spiritual influence
of the church and its ministry is to-day
greater than of old. Finally, there is
symposium upon the condition of "Suc-
cess on the Stage" the contributors be-
ing six of our most prominent actors
John Mccullough. .eJoseph Jefferson,
Madame MOdjeska, Lawrence Barrett,
Maggie Mitchell. and Wm. Warren.

THE New York Tribune publishes the
official returns from all but three coun
ties of New York and unofficial figures
from these. 1t seems that Cleveland's
vote exceeds that cast for Hancock two
years ago by 1888 and falls 19,25O short
of Garfields in 1880. On the other Eand
Judge Folger received 213,24I less than
Garfield, and ran 22O,51S behind his own
vote in the Presidential campaign.
These figures indicate pretty plainly
how Cleveland's plurality of 1913, ,99I was
obtained. II was the Republican stay
at-home vote that did it.

The Meaning Of .Reyenue ONLY"

Should Democratic advocates succeed
in Incorporating in our laws tariff for
revenue only, it would be found to be
full of meaning. 1t would mean that
the American market flooded with for
eign products, and the American manu-
facturers and producers of all grades
unable to compete, except by reducing
wages to the foreign level. 1t would
mean no new industries springing up,
and one after another of the old ones,
especially those of recent growth, sue
cumbing under the stress of foreign
mpetition.-Philadelp Times.
