West Virginia Coal in the East.

A special telegram from Philadelphia
says: There is considerable interest felt
in the new departure to be made by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
bringing to the Eastern markets coal
from the Piedmont region of West Vir-
GINA into which that company has ex-
tended line of railroad. Heretofore
the product of these extensive coal
fields has gone to the market over the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Ex-Sen
tor Davis, of West Virginia, who is the
owner of the lands and who has devel-
Oped them, has quarreled with the Bal
timore & Ohio, and the result has been
that he has joined thePennsylvania Rail-
road Company in extending line from
Cumberland down to his Piedmont re-
gion. and the product will come to
market over the Pennsylvania railroad
system. The coal will, of course, COM
pete with the Clearfield coal, and the
effect it will have upon the latter is anx-
iously awaited.

JUsr as we expected, the charge made
by the Martinsburg Herald, that Mr..
Gettinger voted for bill to make the
legal rate Of interest in West Virginia
ten per cent, turns out to be campaign
lie. And we are somewhat astonished
to find that the Herald Ia hot manly
enough to take it back. The truth of
the matter IL, Mr.. Gettinger was never
called upon to vote for law changing
the rate of interest, which was then and
is now 6 per ceEt. The bill he voted
against was one which related only to
penaltie, attaching to the interest laws,
and Mr.. Gettinger gives reasons for so
voting which must be satisfactory to all
except the most bitter partisans. A vote
for him isNa vote for gentleman OF un-
impsachable character, both publicly
and privately.

Brown Lost his Teeth.

The lady manager Of Bridgeport.
Conn, boarding-house had occasion
sevcr.l days ago, to make a flying trip
to New York. On reaching the station
she was horrified to find that she had,
in her haste, forgotten her set Of upper
teeth. A thoughtful domestic, how
ever. had noticed the fatal oversight,
and arrived with the counterfeit ivories
just as the train was about to move.
The teeth Were nervously lodged in the
proper place, but it was not long be-
fore the mstron felt disageeable sem
sation in her jaw. There seemed to be
some unaccountable misfit that inter-
fered with easy working Of the ma him
cry, and when she bought an o: nge
for the purpose of trial trip, she dis
covered that the pulp had peculiar
cigarette flavor as it passed down.
Then she had kind of qualm which she
confidingly charged to the evtreme
heat and the car ride, but she would
probably find out what it all meant
when she got home.
When Brown, who was one of the
boarders, came down to late break
fast. he ventured to demand who had
been in his room, for his upper teeth
had disappeared. The mystery was
unravellcd when the matron returned
in the evening. Brown was glad that
''somc of him. had Deen able to visit
New York, but he declined to resume
old relations with his tramp teeth.

Cats Toes.

"HOw many toes has cat?' This
was one of the questions asked of a
certain class during examining week,
and simple as the question appears to
be, none could answer it. In the en-
ergency the Principal was applied to
for solution, and he also with good
natured smile, gave it up, when one Of
the teachers, determined not to be
beaten by simple question. hit on the
idea Of sending out a delegation Of
boys to scour the neighborhood for a
cat. When this idea was announced
the whole class wanted to join in the
hunt. Several boys went out and soon
returned successful. A returning board
was at once appointed and the toes
counted, when to the relief of all it was
learned that 4 cat possesses eighteen
toes, ten on tho front and eight on the
hind feet.-Colnmbus (Ga.) Enquirer.
