kUAL ArAkRSS. A
The Discovery OF n veiu ai tho Depth of
Four Hundred Feet.

Four Hundred Feet.
AKRON, o., October lS.-A discovery has
been made at Clinton, about fourteen
miles south OF here, that promises to de-
stroy the State Geologist's whole theory of
the coal system otthis State. The find was
made yesterday afternoon by several per-
sons, and consists Of vein OF coal six feet
thick at depth Of JOS feet below the sur.
face Of the earth, and from 200 to 800 feet
below what has heretofore been supposed
to be the lowest strata OF coal, and being
the deepest ever found in this country.
The coal produced through the drill holes
was examined under the magnifying glass
and has the appearance ofanthracite, being
perfectly pnre, not in the least blackenjng
the water when It was washed. Itwas also
tested in the fire and burned splendidly.
The story that vein Of coal was under
lying the jackson, Massillon, Clinton and
Mahoning Valley, at a, depth OF several
hundred feet, has been handed down for
fully sixty nears, but very little attention
was paid 10 the report, the State Geologist's
survey being generally accepted. The
story goes that in 1928 or 1924 Frederick
Kraft, then owner oi the'land in question,
had hole drilled to tind saltwater. The
hole is said 10 have been drilled to depth
Of from 800 to 100 feet, and that vein Of
superior coal was struck, and also fine
flow Of salt water obtained. Through some
misfortune, however, the hole became so
thoroughly clogged up that 1t could not be
reopened, and was consequently aban-
doned. - ~
The drilling party began operations on
the strength OF the previous find, with the
result above given. Considerable excite.
ment prevails in the locality, and much in.
terest Is being manifested from scientific
point Of view.

vERy Iittls sympathy will be wasted on
the "pOOl.SelleB" who were caught by the
tapping Of the Western Union wires. But
there might be a case OF very different
kind, and in that respect the tapping OF
wires is a matter Of public interest. 1t Is a
thing not difficult to do by one who knows
how The telegraph company ought to do
alldat ii can to protect It's wires; but this
it will do iir its own sake, without other
reminder. The wires are very much ex-
TOsei, and it is not probable that the law
will ever holda company liable for acts
which it would require a sleeples1 patrol
TO prevent and for which punishment is
already provided. Seeing how easy it is to
tanper with, derange or destroy the wires
ltsa wonder that they ae 30 rarely inter
iered with by malicious persons.

WASHINGTON, octocer ls.-N. W. Fitz'
gerald, claim agent. who has given the
fraud division OF the Pension Office great
deal q trouble, and whose lame is known
both on the records OF the Police Station
and the Police Court, has gone through the
form OF entering suit against the Commercial

for 100000, and the Globt.Demoerat and
its correspondent for $4,000.
As the latter's denunciationB and expos.
ures were quite ssevere as the formers, 1t
seems probable that the extra $4,000
charged against the Commercial Gdsdis was
on account Of Fitzgerald being bounced out
OF It's oItice here without his hat and spec.

week or 80 prior TO his death and knew
but little Of what was going on around hin
during that time. He was aware, however
Of the success Of the Democratic ticket

joiced thereat. His life has hung by Q

his iron constitution he must have sue.
cumbed at the outset to the grim reaper.

umns, wavering in the face OF leaden
storm OF bullets $50 back, boys, 90
back; but the flag can't 60 with you"
And then he rode on with the standard.

Department OF Georgia, under General
