Empress who knelt before him. He

"Here are thirty.si1 Aldermen, represent.

WASHINGTON, May o6.-It is difficult to
ascertain from reports thus far received
here whether or not Malone has been
really victorious in Virginia. The National
Republican, which Is in close re.
lations with the Malone movement,
has dispatches which indicate that
Malone has held his own in the
eastIn counties, and has made large gains
throughout the southwest. He has not lost
in the negro counties, and has made gains
in white counties. This, It is claim.
ed, indicates that the Readiusters are
gaining ground. The claims ot Losses
made by the Bourbons do not appear
fully sustained, but from returns
thus far 1t is pretty evident that the elec.
ton does not show any material change in
the political sentiment in Virginia over
the election OF last fall. The editor
Of the Richmond Whig telegraphs
here: "The returns show that the
Readjustsrs have gained largely in
counties having white mSiorities. In min.
eral districts and in Republican and negro
counties, results can not be compared With
any former elections, and the division on
personal considerations influenced the vote.
Readiusters are satisfied with the outcome"

GEORGE srRAuoHs's NINE.

Below the Coal Valley mine, and very
similar to it in the character. Of It's coal, is
George straughn's mine. Lying in the
same vein with the Coal Valley, and also
with Campbell's creek, miles below here,
it's mined for gas coal. The vein varies in
thickness from feet inches to feet 2
inches, with worry thin vein OF slate two
feet from the floor. They also have about
one foot OF bitumiaous or hard coal, the
yield being about one.fiith. Mr.. Pinkney
the mine boss, has his mine in fine condi.
ton; the roofing is good, the ventilation
by means OF a furnace better, and very lit.
tie water. The small amount Of water
found Is drained by means OF a syphon.
This mine has been running about seven
years. The output at present is about 200
ions daily. The coal has heretofore been
consigned to the @. 60, but Mr.. Straughn
is extending platform from the tipple to
the river, about 1900 feet, and near July
lst hopes to be able to ship by either.
When this is accomplished the force at the
mine will be largely increased. Mr..
straughn is also interested in the North
Coalburg, which is again in full operation.

NEW YoRx, May 28.-Dispatches to
Bradarett's from leading business centers
in the United States show that the unsea-
sonable and stormy weather throughout
most Of the Northern States has irteriered
to considerable extent with the general
movement Of distribution, and to that ex-
tent business has been less prosperous.
Lake transportation, while heavy, has suf-
feJed considerably, and iobbers in boots
and shoes, cotton goods and other fabrics
have suffered an interruption OF business.
The industrial situation is no less compli.
Gated than when last reported. The ANAL
workers in the Pittsburgh district
will strike June l, although 1t Is
thought that some Of the extreme western
iron and steel centers may not be affected,
as it Is probable the battle will be fought
out at Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia centers. A long strike is in prospect.
Cotton for present delivery has declined
during the week IL. The wheat market
here has advanced about ic on the week.
This is largely due to the threatening
weather in the central western winter
wheat States, a reduced visible supply,
and renewed activity on the part Of the
longs at the West. The price OF corn has
huctrated. The condition OF this cereal in
store and in ground since the cold weather
has been the ruling influence. In the pro-

Coal VALLEY, W. Va, May 29.-Just q
few years ago, before the @. & o. Railway
was built, there was nothing here but
farm house and the cultivated bottom
lands, To-day it is the center Of large
coal traffic. Great trains Of loaded coal
cars are daily made up here,and everything
is push and go ahead. With eleven coal
mines in active operation it would seem
that this should be live town. With the
coal in the front bills 1t is easily run to the
railroad, and day and night the trains are
running in and out. This morning !
stepped out OF daylight into the mine OF
the Coal Valley Mining Company, more to
keep warm than anything else. Leased
and operated by Messfs. Davis and Toman,
the mine is in iair condition and doing a
good business. The present operators have
been running 1t only few years; but it is
in fact quite old, having been worked for
nearly nine years. The coal worked is a
fine gas, and is consigned directly to the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, which easily
finds good market in the East. The seam
runs from FIVE and half to six feet,
with from one foot to fifteen inches
OF splint coal. The splint is Of
excellent quality for domestic purposes.
The seam lies In what is known as the No.
9 gas coal vein and ia from 400 to 500 feet
below tho Coalburg seam. Being near the
surface OF the river, the tipple and incline
expenses are small. Just now the compa.

ings made at various points through the
side OF the hill. Fine air ways are thus
made and fresh air carried TO all parts Of
the mine. When running full the out put
is about 200 tons dSily. Some trouble is
experienced with cars, the demand being
SO great that the railroad company cannot
furnish everybody at once, but as it is this
miners are able TO put in fair time.
