Discovery Of Coal In Mexico.

CHICAGO, March 49, A special
telegram from the City of Mexico
says the authoritative announces
ment OF the discovery of coal in
the very heart of Mexico creates
the liveliest interest. The newly
discovered coal fields lie four miles
east of Jimueco, in the State of Co.
ahuila. Already it is known that
the deposit extends within one mile
of the Central Railroad. The vein
is three feet in thickness and appar-
emily free from foreign substances,
with indications that it covers a
large area. The coal is declared to
be of superior grade, bituminous in
quality and somewhat brittle. The
discovery brings thousands of low
grade mining claims within paying
limits, rendering their ores Of great
value. With the use of coal these
claims and mines are without pres.
ent value by reason of the high
prices and the scarcity of fuel.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part ofthe abdomen, caus-

some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestion are present,
as fiatulency, uneasiness of the stom-

ton, producing very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is a COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and

Thousands Probably Stolen.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 49,
The Sentinel has tonight come into
possession of facts which indicate
that the Racine wagon and Carriage
Company has within the past year
been defrauded of between $4,000
and 10000 by w. H. Spauldipg, the
head bookkeeper of the institution.
About the middle of February
Spaulding disappeared IN company
with Mamie Mintonton, disreputa-
BILE woman of this city with whom
he had been intimate. They went
to new Orleans. then to New
York, and from there to Buf.
falo. Here Spaulding procured
tickets for himself and companion to
an out of the way point in Canada
but she gave him the slip and re-
turned here to-day. He issupposed
to have gone to Canada.
Spaulding left a wife and two
children nearly destitute at Racine.
His manner of operation is not
known, the proprietors of the works
being very reticent. Chicago detec-
tives have been hunting for Spauld-
ing several weeks.

THE Lancaster Inquirer scores
point against the Independent jour-

planning that in the inaugural pro-
cession Fitz Hugh Lee was cheered
to the echo along the line of march,
while General Beaver, a manned

by recalling the fact that two years
since, these same journalists treated
General Beaver with less respect
than did the throng at Washington,
and assisted to procure his defeat
for Governor, and the election in
his stead of man who is in full
sympathy with the crowd that cheer

THE supreme Cour. of Iowa gave
the dealers in liquors black eye
last week, by decision maintaining
the constitutionality of the prohi-
bition law as it stands. The cues
ton came up on application for in
junction to abate saloon as a nui-
sance. The writ was issued and
appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. The court holds that as the
Legislature had the constitutional
power to enact the law, and as the
law defines the saloon as nuisance
there can be no denial of the right
of action.

Mr.. Giroux said to q HERALD cor.
respondent this morning that he
had at last succeeded in finding his
lost boy. His method was to visit
a town, get the rolls of the district
schools, and see if his sons name
might be found. After visiting near
ly all the villages in Madison and
Oneida counties he was rewarded a
day or two since by finding the boy,
who is living with Mr. Lewis, at a
place which the father preferred not
to name. The boy was kidnapped
he says, by an Indian doctress, who
came from Canada, and who broke,
into his house and took what money
he had at the time. This woman,
he said was to be arrested to-day
and brought before justice on these
charges. The insurance story came
from the fact that an agent of co..
operative company induced the SON
to insure, but he never paid more
than a few shillings. Giroux has
