Trial OF J. m. Haven for the Over Issue
of Railroad Stock.

RUTLAND, Oct. 4.
The trial of J. NJ. Haven, ex-treasurer of
the Rutland railroad, for the over issue of
stock, progresses slowly. Accountant Nc
Laughlin was on the stand for the State until
Saturday. The defence tried to draw evil
dence from Mclaughlin that the transfer of
certificates alleged to have been over issued
was not in the handwriting of Haven, also
that the interval of time elapsed between the
transfer and its record showed clerical error.
witness for the defense from st. Albans
showed that Haven was there June II, 1881,
the date OF the alleged over issue.

see what was burning, and on opening the
stove door, found the remains of an infant
child burnt to crisp. Miss Paquette, it
seems, took this means to conceal her shame
She positively asserted, when arrested, that
the child was dead when born, which has to
be accepted in absence of proof that she de-
stroyed it, the coroner's jury at the inquest
being unable to discover whether it had been
born dead or alive.

may rest assured that the fact that a man
who IS an honoraby discharged soldier will
not initiate against his obtaining employ
ment in any of the establishments under the

In his book General Grant al- ludes to his meeting with Gener- al Lee at Appomatiox without the sligtest suggestion of the melOdranatic heroism with which an ordinary man would have interlarded the story. He says they "fell into conversation about old army times." and "our conversation grew so pleasant that I almost forgot the object of our meeting."

Luxurious Mexico.

It is perhaps premature 10 ex- press sympathy for the financial embarrassment of our sister repub- lie when we read of the splendors of the executive castle at Chapul. tepec. The mails bring descrip- tions of this new suburban resi- dence of the Mexican President. and the story recalls the gorge. ous times of Montezuma and his Spanish conquerOrs. The historic castle of Chapultepec was once the favorite abode of Maximilian. After the downfall of the Austrian it was converted into a military school, a Mexican West Point Academy, transferred there from Tacubaya. but Gonzales, before his term expired. converted 1t into an executive mansiOn-a sort Of retiracy from the cares of State. It is now being ref1tted for DiaZ, and the cost Of the new furniture and decorations Is esti- mated at half a million dollars. This is a pretty substantial sum for country to sQuander in pure luxury when it's finances are on the ragged edge of bankruptcy. The Fedral treasury was in so sorry a condition that just before the adjournment of Congress & law was enacted directing prefer ence for "salaries and expenses of actual administration" in pay> ments out of it, upon the assump- ton that ihe dues are continually in excess of the receipts. In cou- trast with this luxurious waste fulness, we have statistics of the mortality in the capital and other great Mexican cities, which indi> cate sanitary conditions that are appalling in view of the possible approach of the Asiatic cholera. A dispatch published the other day estimates the annual death rate in the City Of Mexico at more than 50 in 1000, and an editorial article in the "rwo Republics" newspaper states the rate in the great mining city of Guan"juato at nearly 75 in 1.N0. Of cuurse, it IS possible, that the Mexican officials resort 10 luxury as q means of drowning sorrow. There is an old story of skelrt0n being clad in purple and fine linen and exhibited to the famine- stricken people of great city in the hope of cheering their dro0p- ing spirits and weaning for moment their thoughts from an ever-present despair; and history tells US that Nero fiddled while Rome was in fumes.

Coal m Mexico.

A few years ago, in discussing the future of Mexico. it was no uncommon thing to find the lead. ing journals of the country indi- eating that the advancement of Mexico must ever be retarded from the lack of coal within it's borders. It was stated positively that it was practically without coal, and that none had ever been discovered which could be util> ized. More recent investigation and better knowledge Of the facts show that Mexico has an am pie supply of coal for all purposes. and it would not be surprising if it's resources in this direction should be found sufficient 10 revolutonize the coal trade particularly of the Pacific coast.
 A recent investigation of the coal in Sonora shows that a large anthracite coal field there exists extending continuously from the summit Of the Las BrOnces range of mountains to the Yaqui river, that contains 108 square miles more than the five anthracite basins of Pennsylvania. and is as great as the aggregate area of all the coal fields of England. Ii is claimed, also, that this coal is superior tu the anthracite of Penn syIvania, having from 90 10 92 per cent. carbon, to 33 to 5 per cent. waste. and leaves no clink- CTS when burned. In many places the workable seams exposed by erosion and meteoric agencies are from four to five feet thick; some ten, and others sixteen feet ofex- cellent coal. What is true in re- gard 10 Sonora will probably be found duplicated in every other portion of this great country. there sources of which as yet are practi- caily unknown. It is stated that English capital has already large interests in the coal fields Of Son. ora, and preparations are being made 10 build railroads apd to otherwise utilize the immense treasuries here discovered
