TENNEssEE's COAL COMPANY.
Recent developments concerning the Ten

stoned considerable surprise in Wall street
At the approach of the annual election of
officers advertised TO be held next Monday
there will lie some radical cha ges made.
The majority of the present board of man
ayers VIII not be reelected. John H. Inman
and Nathaniel Baxter, who have hereto
fore been SO prominently identified
with the property, are among those
who will give place to successors. The
radical changes to be made constitute the
programme of a syndicate formed quietly
not many weeks ago to capture control of
the company. William Duncan of Nash
vile IS said to be one OF the leaders. The
syndicate has secured by purchase and
proxies over {, 1000 shares of stock. The entire
capital is 10000 shares Hon. John G.
Brown, ex-governor of Tennessee, and now
receiver of the Texas Pacific railroad, is to
be made president. H. Z. Gath, president
of the Mechanics National, and James T.
Woodward, president of the Hanover Bank,
according to report, will be members of the
new buard of directors. In acquiring a
majority of the stock the syndicate has had
no opposition. In fact the game was not
even suspected until after its aim was actu-
ally accomplished.

A QUEENS ANNUAL BATH.
The Great Rejoicings When Her
Majesty of Madagascar Is Washed.
From a London Letter.

From a London Letter.
The French papers report that the Queen
Of Madagascar has just taken bath. Per-
haps Amer leans will not at first realize the
sulemnijy and importance of this statement
concerning the annual ablutioGs Of the
queen, which are the sensation Of the year
in that distant island. They cele rate the
occa ion of The Festival OF the Bath" with
the Creates pomu and seriousness, and it is
only the Madagascar 400 which ia permitted
to assist in this great festival of ceanli-
ness. Besides these, the privileged specta-
tors consist of the foreign ministers, her
own highest officials only and the princes
of the blood. The prime minister and the
French resident alone are allowed to be
seated during this august ceremony.
The queen is clothed all in scarlet and
seated upon red velvet throne; a corner of
the room is rallied off with red curtains, and
behind this is rolled great bath tub set on
wheels A solemn procession files through,
bearing the water for the bath, materials
for the fire TO heat it, made directly
under the bath tub itself, the towels,
soap, perfume aud various appurtsnauces.
As soon as the water is sufficiently
Leated the fire is put out, prayers are said
and hymn sung, implortng that the queen
suiter no harm from her daring act, and
then, as she disappears behind the curtaina
salvo of artillery is fired and the drums
beat to announce to tho excited multi udes
outside that tie important part of the cere-
mony is taking place. AT the end Of
brief fifteen minutes the queen reAppears,
somewh paler in hue, but gorgeou'ly ar
rayed and caring all the crown jewels.
In her hand Sho carries an OK horn
tipped AMI bound with silver, full Of water
taken from the bath just preyi us to her
entrance to il. Boirin this, AID accom-
panied by the pri .e minister, she marches
to the palace portal whore she DIP, urancl
into the water and sprialses the spectator
as they pass along, which gives them the
satisfaction Of feeling that they have, IN a
measure, shared in the dangers which the
queen, ms tue head Of the nation, had boldly
confronted.
Cannon are fired at intervals Of every
five minutes until she is safely back on her
throne again, and the princes of the ROYAL
family, tue representatives OF the nobility
and the foreign ministers come and tender
their congratulations and present gifts,
which express their Joy at the safe con-
clusion of the ordeal. l. is a time Of gen.
eral feasting about the island; oxen are
roasted whole, and the people send gifts to
one another in testimony Of the universal
Joy.

master General Wanamaker that they
desired her to accept an appointment as
postmaster of Lexington. Va Mrs. Jack

her willingness to accept to receive the APP
pointment, was that, while sens BILE of the
kindness which prompted the move, she
would be unable to give an affirmative an

She stated that ner father is now 81 years

she dearly loved Lexington and all
its people, the place did not suit
her health, and that she was confident
that she did not possess the requisite qualifi-

Investors have not the faith in the mex

the sellers of wells could wish. We know
that precious metals are dug out in le
quantities than formerly; that the diamond
market, in spite of Kimberly. is cornering
itself; that mahogany and pine will some
day be things of the past, like the buffalo
robe and the dodo. We are confronted
with the fact that the guano deposits will
not last forever that there is human limit
to the production of electricity, that our
children several times removed will have
neither quinine, chloroform nor analine
dyes.
OF course this general exhaustion Of old
earth's treasure house Is some time ahead of
us. 1t will not happen in our day nor in
the next century. We can go en- burning
the candle at both ends for few hundred
years before humanity has to adjust itself
to the newer or more economical conditions.

GEoRG1A's CAPITAL CITY.
Election Cor tests Settled-A Rumor
About the Central.

ATLANTA, GA, March 29.-The governor
settled the Bryan county shrievalty contest
to-day in favor of John D. Morgan, whom
the returns showed elected. Mr.. Van
Brackle contests on the ground of illegal
votes, but the governor held that there was
not a sufficient number of illegal votes
proven TO change the result. A commits
SION was issued to Mr.. Morgan Jan. as no
notice of contest had been received at the ex-
ecutive office. 1t appeared afterward. The
notice had been sent here, but went to the
secretary of states office, fact not known
tie the governor until some time after the
commission was issued. Upon this show
ing he decided to hear the contest SO that If
the commission was wrongfully issued it
might be corrected. Hon. Peter meldrim
appeared for Mr.. Morgan. and r. j. G.
Smith of Eden by brief for the contestant.
A CHATHAM COUNTY CONTEST.
The contest for justice of the peace of the
Seventh district of Chatham county,
Fountaine VS.. Kelley, was also disposed of.
The governor decided in favor of Kelley,
and commission was issued. In this case
the ground of contest was that the election
had not been held at the time nor place
designed by law. The evidence before the
governor showed that the election was held
at table in front Of the regular polling
place for the district, that belonging to
Fountaine and was locked at the time.
The poll box was opened as soon
as practicable after he ascertained
that the regular place could not be opened.
The governor held that it was substan-
tial compliance with the law. Besides these
facts, it appeared that Fouutaine was not
even a candidate, and therefore without
ground for a contest. Hon Peter Meldrlm
appeared for Kelley and II. E. Wilson by
brief for the contestant.
