Died Rich.

A lady, the wife OF u hotel-keeper in
MarysVlle, Cal, gives this lite-Sketch:
There came down from the mountains,
one dav, the most comical-lookiag old
couple | ever behold. They were En-
glish, and had lived in California two
years, both working in the mines. Tho
woman had on thin faded calico
gown. which had come with her from
England ten years before, calico
Jacket over her shoulders, and on her
head was an apology Tor q sunbonnet
Her husband wore Il Macintosh, which
reached to his heels, and on his head
an old hat-and oh, what Il hat! Alto
pether they were the most forlorn-
looking couple one would wish to see.
They carried penury in their very
countenances. / ptied the old wo-
man, so | gave her gentleman 5
dressing-gown which had been left at
the hotel. 1t was rather soiled, 10 be
sure; but it was better than anything
that she had. They had started home
to England By the way OF New York.
when the bar6ecper requested the
mau to sign his name, he made cross;
and she was as ignorant as he At
night she asked me il would give her
room with good fastenings TO the
doors and windows, as they had good
deal Of gold-dust with them. | inqulr-
ed to know where it was, as they
brought no baggage with them, except
little bag, which she carried on her
arm. She said il was in belts round
their waists. | told her if it were
much, she had better deliver ii up to
the proprietor OF the house for safe
keeping Said she, "Oh, no, | would
MT lose sight Of it for anything! /
have five thousand dollars in my belt,
and my husband has the same. adj
vised her TO send it by express to New
York, as they might be robbed on the
way. She said they could not afford to
pay the percentage for its transporta-
iion, when they could carry it, and save
that money. So they started to take
passage for New York by the way OF
| Nicaragua.
"Ihe next news | heard of them was
| that they were both drowned ut Virgin
Bay while going from the shore in q
boat TO get on board tho steamer. The
weight OF their gold belts sank them Al
once. while the rest of the capslzed
boats passengers iloated and were
/ picked up by other boats. Thus these
two old people, who had lived in pow
erty all their days, died rich, clutcnina
the treasure for which they had toiled
so hard. -

"bluo," when it never is blue, is one
of the uusolyed probsems, II is always
green except when in bloom, when the

PITTSBURGH, Pa, August ia de-
clded sensation was created in general
business circles yesterday afternoon by
the report that the Coal Valley Coal
Company had been compelled to ask for
an extension from their creditors. A
member Of the firm confirmed the report
late last evening, but declined going into
details. From another source it was
learned that the First National Bank of
this city is the principal creditor.
a bank Official states this morning that
he does not think the Indebtedness will
exceed 100000, and will probably fall
below that figure. The assets of the
company, he was satisfied would greatly
exceed its liabilities. Their inability to
meet the obligations was entirely due to
the depression ia the coal trade. The
company is composed of J. A. Stone,
George Stone, John Stone, VIM. Stone
and Daniel stone In extent of opera
tlons the company ranks third In the
