The Extra coal find Is proving gen.
uine Ia every particular and more than
meeting the most sanguine expectations
of the projectors. At the last report Of
drilling the point was In slate imme-
diately below the three foot vein Of
coal, but when work was resumed the
slate was soon penetrated and tho drill
again went through coal for u distance
of four feet, making a vein seven feet
through, Several experts have been
employed to come and examine the
field and all are In harmony In pro-
nouncing the quality Of coal good, and
all are of tho opinion that the slate is
merely shallow pocket. Their testi-
mony is very promising, rs they declare
the find genuine. They also believe the
vein extends u long distance, and that
development will prove very profitable.
The circumstances are such as to war
rant the belief that the people of Audu-
bon county, will as soon as practicable
be using fuel exhumed from home
mines and by home labor,
Since the above was placed in type
the project has matured to decidedly
business proportions, which assure u
vigorous prosecution of the enterprise.
After the true depth Of the vein was
discovered pledges was secured of funds,
and in subscriptions of S25 each, $1,000
was pledged in few hours. Yester-
day the Extra Coal Company was or
ganized, with an authorized capital of

Harrison's Firmness.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 12.-
Sergeant-at-Arms Canady, of the
United States Senate, who knew Mr..
Harrison well during his term in the
Senate, expressed the opinion that
General Harrison's Administration
would be liberal Civil Service Re-
form Administration, that some of
the most radical in the party will be
dissatisfied, that the strongest con-
servative sense Of the party would
dominate, and the Administration
will at once become popular through
out the country. There seems to be
general concurrence among those
who profess familiarity with Mr..
Harrison's views that he will be as
firm as Mr.. Cleveland and not be
swerved from the course he marks
down for himself.

WOOLFoLK'S CASE.
An Order TO Sell the Estate Brings Up
Intricate Questions.


MACON, GA, Jau THE Voolfolk case
has been brought up in different shape. On
Tuesday Ordinary McManus granted an
order to c. W. Howard, administrator of
the estate Of Mrs. Matte Voolfolk, to sell
the land and stock belonging to said estate.
Mrs. Edwards and Mrs Cowan, daugh-
ters of Capt Richard Voolfolk, and sisters
of Tom Voolfolk, came before the Ordinary
and objected to the sale, declaring that they
are heirs TO two-thrds of the estate, and
that the administrator had not shown that
a sale was necessary for distribution or pay
ment of debts Tom Voolfolk is considered
heir to the remaining third, but he is not
party to the proceeding. They asked
through their attorneys, Messrs. Harde-
man and Davis, for writ Of certiorari.
Messrs. Hall and Guerry represented Ad
minstrator Howard.
WRIT GRANTED.
Judge Gustn refused to officiate, being
disqualified as he was formerly an attorney
for Administrator Howard, and the motion
was therefore heard this morning by Judge
Richard Clarke, of the Stone Mountain Cir
cult who granted the writ of certiorari on
the ground of no proof before the Ordinary
that a sale was necessary, which has the
effect of bringing up the question of heir
ship and stopping the sale until the question
can be heard in the Superior Court. The
Ordinary will send up all papers to this
court. This trial will bring up the whole
Voolfolk killing. If Capt Voolfolk was
the last one killed, and only in that event
are Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Cowan and Tom
Voolfolk the true heirs, but if he was muir
dered before Mrs. Voolfolk, then the prop
erty reverted to Mrs. Woolfok's children.
and they being dead, Mrs Woolfolk's near
est blood kin become heirs Of the property.

COAL CARS NOT REFUSED
DENIAL OF THE STATEMENT SENT
OUT FROM READING.

The Individual Operator Who Was
Said to Have Made the Assertion
Says He Has Had no Trouble in Get
ting Cars-Plenty of Soft Coal on
Hand.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Port Richmond
and Elzabethport continue their usual
activity. Coal is being transferred without
interruption, but the strikers give no sign
of Weakening. Interest in the strike now
centres principally in the miners. The
published statement that the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company would re
fuse to furnish cars to the colliery at New
Lincoln, Pa, in the event of the operators
of that colliery continuing payment to its
miners of per cent above the s. so basis
is positively denied here to-day.
The statement was made in a special dis
patch to the Reading Eagle which dispatch
was extensively published in the journals of
other cities, that Levi Miller, of the firm of
Miller ~ Co., who operate a colliery at New
Lincoln, had informed a committee of
miners that he could not continue to pay
the per cent. advance. because the Read
ing Company had notified him that if he
did so the company would refuse to furnish

he had never made such a statement to any
one, and that the cars ordered for the col
liery since the Inauguration of the strike
had been promptly and cheerfully furnished
by the Reading company The shipping
agent in this city of the New Lincoln col
llery, who is a member of the firm owning
it, repudiates the story also.
SOFT COAL IN PLENTY.
READING, PA, Jan. Heavy shipments
of soft coal from the bituminous region
passed down the Reading road to-day, and
the amount of this coal is daily increasing.
There has been no increase in the shipments
from the Reading coal fields. A consider
able number of private collieries now being
worked are on the lines Of the Lehigh
Valley and Pennsylvania roads, and the
product goes over those roads. The uneasi-
ness lest manufactures will be obliged to
stop for want of fuel is abating. New
supplies are being obtained by those in need
but at increased expense.
