Recent evidence seems to indicate thai
vegetable matter may under certain condi.
tons, be converted into coal much more
rapidly than many biologists have believed
to be possible. At least an approach to such
conversion has been discovered in the mines
of the Upper Hartz, in Germany. where
some of the timbers originally used as sup
ports have been changed into a substance
which appears to be genuine Ignite, or
brown coal. 1t is believed that the process
cannot have extended beyond four centuries
"a very brief period compared with that as
signed to coal formations.

Ex-Governor Mubbard's Hayward
Daughter.

Miss Nellie Hubbard, the daughter of
Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Connecticut,
who four years ago created a sensation
by marrying Frederick Shepard, her
fathers illiterate coachman, has recalled
public attention to her former infatua.
ton by obtaining divorce. The couple
lived very happily for time after the
marriage, and little girl came to ce.
ment their union. About two years ago
they removed to New Haven, where
Shepard started large stable with mon.
ey furnished by his wife and her friends.
The stable yields quite revenue to
Shepard, who is still running it. They
engaged n cozy cottage in a pleasant
street, and here for time all went we'll.
Mrs. Shepard became tired of her un-
lettered husband, and they began to find
that their tastes In almost everything ran
in counter directions. Shepard attended
strictly to business, and Mrs. Shepard,
who was not received with open arms by
New Haven society, showed her contempt
of the fashionable world, Of which she
had formerly been belle, by purchasing
q dog cart and q handsome pony, with
which che appeared in the streets ele.
gantly attired on every pleasant day.
The woman naturally attracted admirers
and among them one is said to be nm
aged and wealthy manufacturer of New
Haven, aud another millionaire of
New York, who frequents the Turf Club
In that city. Shepard became jealous of
his wife, with or without cause, and the
result was that the two separated several
months ago, and have not lived together
since. Some three months since, when
the rumor that sue was about to seek for
divorce was first spread, a friend Of
ShepdrdPs spoke to him on the subject.
He cried like o baby then, and. .said. that
he had always been true to her, and
should alwaya,love her devotediy. The
cause for which the divorce was granted
ssaid to be abandonment, Shepard max.
ing no counter charges. The general
opinion IL that ex.Governor Hubbard
will never recall the denunciation which
he pronounced against his daughter four
years ago, disowning her forever.

The conclusion was terrific, nearly every

thrown from the shelves. No lives were
lost as far as known, except the Mexican
herdsman and his family, although aev-
eral buildings fell to the ground. Cat.

air was, filled with snlphurous gas. The
widest confusion prevailed, as It was q
