The Newark Sunday CG1 publishes
the following respecting the discovery of
coal in the upper part of Hunterdon. 1t
may be true, but it probably is not:
"There is considerable excitement in
Hunterdon county over the discovery of
rich coal field near the borders of Penn
sylvania. For several months number
of capitalists have been engaged in dig
ing and drilling for coal, near Henryville.
The operations have been conducted with
such quietness and secrecy that little was
known of the matter until lately, except
by the people in the immediate vicinity.
The coal was first discovered on the farm
of William Bates, on the eastern fork of
! the BroadheaG creek. At a depth of
seventy feet the first coal was struck.
This was of unsatisfactory quality and
the drilling was continued until one hun
dred and fifty feet below the surface had
been reached. The drill struck large
vein of pure anthracite coal.
1.-THE secret has been closely guarded.
The drilling apparatus is kept from view,
and strangers are excluded from the
ground. Notwithstanding these precau-
tions coal spectators have secured many
specimens of the production and pro-
nounce it of a superior quality. 1t is
generally believed that the secrecy is due
to desire of the company to secure val
liable tracts of land in the neighborhood
| for a low price.
Preparations are now being made to
drill at Spraguevile. There is no end to
the many rumors that are afloat, and now
carloads are being projected every hour.
One large land owner is so much elated
and so sanguine of success that he has
had surveyors laying out streets on his
land for the purpose of building a mining
town. The vein is about seven feet thick
and seems to be inexhaustible. The post
master of Henryville is constantly in re-
ceipt of letters from capitalists asking
for information about the discovery.
Present indications point to great
growth of wealth in the hitherto unde-
veloped country.
professor Lewis Barnes, of Blooms
bury, has purchased two hundred and
fifty acres of land adjoining the new
mine. 1t is said that he has been pros
pecting with experts for five years. In
many places ON his land are many out
groupings of conglomerated rocks of sand
stone and shale.
"a company in Smithfield township
has begun to bore for oil. This company
is said to be from New England"

THE IRON WORKERS WIN.

The Philadelphia North American says;
"When the iron workers of this city went
on strike few weeks ago we recognized
the reasonableness Of their position, and
urged upon the employers the wisdom of
with their demands. 1t is clear
that the wage worker cannot afford to
have his pay regulated by the market
price of what he produces beyond GER
tain point. There must be a minimum,
or it may happen that he will not get
wages enough to supply himself and his
family with the necessaries of life. This
is what we have been saying all along,
aud it is gratifying to find the manufac-
turers coming round to that view OF the
matter. They have done right to concede
in this thing to the wishes of the men, and
both sides are to be congratulated and
complimented upon the admirable spirit
which has been shown throughout. II
would be we'll if all disputes Of the kind
were similarly conducted.

Prohibitionists have laid great stress
upon the supposed fact that If the wo-
men could vote the evils of intemperance
would vanish like fog before the morn
ing sun. The assertion has been that, as
a rule, women opposed the liquor traffic,
and above all the saloons. The vote in
Washington Territory on the question of
local option, recently, does not seem to
sustain such a superstition. The territory
gives women equal rights of suffrage with
men. There the question of whether or
not Intoxicating liquors should be sold
W thin any election precinct was submit
ted to the people. In the cities the meas
ure was defeated by heavy vote, while
in the country it was carried by about
the same majorties. The curious thing
about the election was that the women
took little interest in it, and when they
did vote they were almost equally di-
vided on the question, and one faction
Offset the other.

The U. s. Senate attached to the ap-
preparation of $685. recommended by
the committee for the dedication of the
Bartholdi Statue in New York harbor a
proviso that "no part of the sum herein
appropriated shall be used to procure or
pay for spirituous liquors, or tobacco, or
stmulants, or narcotics in any form, nor
shall any charge or expenditure for the
same be paid by the United States" Mr..
Blair, of New Hampshire, said that he had
desired the amendment to be adopted
without any remark. He had not antici-
pated opposition. But as to there being
no danger of money used in that way he
had only to refer to the recent celebration
at Yorktown, where between seven and
eight thousand dollars was spent "out Of
the public Treasury for the nations Of the
earth to get drunk upon"

Side by side with Laws Mississippi
scheme, the South Sea Bubble and other
swindling decisions, is to be ranked in
history the Panama Canal scheme. II
has justly been characterized as "a mag
nifcent burial place for the spare cash of
imaginative spectators" The treasury
IS empty; the cemeteries on the isthmus
are full. No substantial progress has
been made, and in applying to the French
Government for assistance M. de Lesseps
has refused to permit his accounts to he
examined, and has also refused to prepare
balance sheet. Naturally enough his
application has been refused and there
will be no grand lottery, but bonds Of the
ordinary kind will be issued-if any cred
ulous people can be found to buy them.

An Awful Accident.

On Tuesday afternoon last lad named
David Daley, in the employ of Mr.. David
Dilts, farmer living midway between
Three Bridges and Barley Sheaf, was en-
gagged in cutting field of tall timothy
with moving machine. Mr.. Dlts's lit
tic son, aged years, was in the field
which is near the house-and whether he
became tired and laid down in the grass
to take nap or whether he was simply
playing "hide and seek" in his bildish
way, we do not know, but at all events,
from where the last swath had just been
cut and right in the path of the machine
which was now approaching. The driver
did not see the little fellow nor did he
know that he was hidden in the grass
and the consequence was that the keen
knives struck the lads legs, cutting one
of them completely off just above the
ankle, and inficting an awful wound upon
the other, cutting all the cords and ten
dons, and slicing out great piece of flesh.
AS soon as possible DR.. G. r. Sullivan, of
Pennington, was summoned, and all was
done to alleviate the suffering of the little
fellow that was possible. There is hope
that his life will be saved, though it is by
no means certain, as the leg that is SO
seriously cut is considered difficult in
Jury to heal, and it will be a long tedious
while before the little one, who is bearing
up bravely under the calamity that has
overtaken him, will be able to arise from
his bed, if ever this hoped for result is
reached.
The lad who was driving the mower at
the time is less than ten years Of age. He
had mounted the machine unbeknown to
the men, while they were at supper,
thinking to cut swath or two. Some
other Boys were playing on the opposite
side from the swath being cut, and the
young driver was looking at them, and
thus failed to discover the presence of the
young Dilts child in the grass.
The injured child showed wonderful
pluck. He refused to be carried into the
house until his discovered foot was picked
up and brought along. He said that il
it was put back in its place it might be
that it would grow fast again. Such hero
ism as he is said to have displayed at the
time of the unfortunate mishap, and since
then, is not often seen even in a grown
person.

HIGH ART IN BATHROOMS.


Art in barroom decoration is something
new. There have always been noteworthy
bars in New York, but, as in the case of the
once famous "Cobweh Hall" in Duane
street, these places were only noted for the
excellence of the liquors that were served Ia
their customers. Not only was there no at.
tempt at decoration either in cabinet work
or pictures, but "Cobweb Hal" took its
name from the fact that the accumulate ;
cobwebs of years were all carefully preserv-
ed. Gradually, however, the old order &
undecorated barrooms passed away, and the
new fashion of cafes turned into picture
galleries, and buffet parlors fitted up with
architectural sumptuousness and artistic
excellence, took its place. From the deal
board bars of places like Cobweb Hall the
first transition was to bars of black walnut
and mahogany or white marble, and then
came the latest phase of barroom decora-
ton, as seen at the Hoffman House and
other smaller but not less snowy and, in one
case at least, more artistic specimens Of bar
room art.

1t has long been known what the feel
ing in the ranks of the socalled Prohibi-
tion party is toward the Republican party.
If anything moro is wanted to show that
feeling a sentence taken from the remarks
OF one of the party leaders in New York,
which was accompanied with ribald
laughter, ought to suffice. He says: ''In
New Jersey we have got the Republicans
in bad hole. They will be damned if
they indorse General Fisk, and they will
be damned IL they don't" No comments
are necessary.

why He Killed Himself.

Farmer Richmond Dixie, of Canning, N.
s., owned fine mare that was very badly
hurt by running against barbed wire
fence. He decided to shoot her, and
loaded his gun for that purpose, and then
thought to wait until next morning. After
thinking the matter over through the night,
he concluded that life without the mare
wasn't worth living, so he took the gun and
killed himself instead of his pet.
