There is little hill in Queensland only a
few hundred feet high, which is attracting we'll
deserved notice because it has made Queens
land the greatest gold-producing colony in
Australia 1t was not known until FIVE years
ago that Mount Morgan. as 1t is called. was
worth anything but 1t would take millions Of
money to buy 1t now. The original stock OF
the company. organized to dig out the inside
Of Mount Morgan. is now worth. at the market
price. about $S,000.000. and the mine Is sup
posed to be the richest In the world.
The strangest thing about Mount Morgan Is
that 1t was evidently made by geysers or hot
springs like those In Yellowstone Park. q
formation that has not hitherto been regarded
as valuable. But there Is moro gold distrib-
uted through this rocky mass to the square
yard than Is now being dug out anywhere else: /:
and the beauty Of 1t is that the gold increases
In quantity the deeper the miners go. and
nobody knows when this fabulous wealth will
be exhausted. This little hillock is now yield
ing an average OF $lsO.00O OF pure gold a week.
Mr.. LUMHoLTz. well known for his travels
among the cannibals OF fAustralia, says friend
who paid $4,000 for one share ofDock now en-
joys an income from the mine OF $4,000 year.
But the luckiest fellows are those who got in
on tho ground floor and have been made very
wealthy by their fortunate strike.

The Geographical Congress recently held
in Paris declared that explorers are justified
In naming the Typographical features OF a dis
trict only In uninhabited regions or when the
natives have not named them This principle
has been stoutly advocated for years by the
Royal Geographical Society OF London. but
now that STANLEY seeks to add the name Of
another member OF the British royal house to
the map Of Africa. It Is safe to say the loyal
Britons will pocket their convictions and hur-
rah for Lake Albert Edward.
Muta Nzlge. to which STANLEY has hitched
the name Of the Prince Of WALES, has ap-
peared on every map OF Africa by it's native
name for the past twelve years. Ukerewe Ny
ansa would seem to be Q far more appropriate
name than Victoria for one OF the finest lakes
Of the world. 1t happens to be the name OF the
lake which was inappropriately dubbed Victo-
ria by o patriotic British explorer. Not only
her thrifty Majesty but also her late consort,
the heir to the throne, and her favorite daugh-
ter have now been immortalized in Central
Africa. and 1t remains to be seen what geo.
graphical honors await the rest Of the family.

DOES THIS SETTLE IT2
More Letters About the Tribulnfions Of
Virginia Knox, Who Married the Italian
Count-Divorce Talked of.

More Letters Abour the Tri6ulations Of
Virginia Knox, Who Married the Italian
,COunt-Divorce Talked of.
The following is copy of a letter alleged
to be received in this city by a gentleman
friend of Miss Knox, who, it is stated, has
applied for divorce from the Count
Montereole:
What do you think That accursed scoundrel
Carusi, after Virginia had beat him clear out
of court in Italy, and the authorities had threat
ened him with the Jail. has come to this coun-
try and first proposes to sue me for slander.
then kill me- Pleasant! He then, in connec-
tion with pair of secondhand clothes dealers,
proposes to threaten the papers with civil suits
unless they take his side and print his vile lies
about Virginia and the family. The papers
will do it 1t would put them to an enormous
expense to defend themselves against him.
However true their stories may be, they will
risk our suits rather than his. Say nothing
until his arrival is announced in the Plttsburg
papers which will be about Monday, or per-
haps tomorrow. Then say as above.
P. S-This cursed villain has boasted what
he will do and is coming with the avowed de-
termination of keeping up newspaper war on
us until we pay him to leave.
The gentleman said they knew shortly
after the marriage that the Count was an
imposter, but rather than create a scandal
they concluded to keep it quiet. He said
that Miss Knox is now with friends in
Europe.
When the Count arrived in New York
unaccompanied by his wife, he sent a tele-
gram to his mother-in-law in Virginia, ask
ing her to come to see him Immediately.
After sending three messages and receiving
no answer, he concluded to go to see her
himself
1t is said that if he comes back to this
city the Knox family will have him arrested
for perjury. At the time of his getting the
marriage license here he swore that he had
never been married before. Miss Knox's
friends claim that the Count received his
title from his vile, who is now dead, and
his object in coming to this country is to
secure money from anybody he can get it
from. He threatens to sue the newspapers
for libel, but they claim this is only bluff.
1t is alleged that the Countess asked for a
legal separation through her uncle, Mr.. E.
F. Mathews, of Philadelphia, who was So
journing in Paris when Miss Knox and her
husband arrived there.
Another letter was also published yester-
day, from Miss Cora Vera, of Buffalo, n.
Y, who is now travelling in Europe. 1t
was received by a young lady in this city,
and is to the effect that the genuine Count
Montercole is living in, and has not been
out of Italy for some time. The man Miss
Knox married was the Counts head
gardener.

Ash Wednesday Inaugurated the Lenten
Season Yesterday.

Ash Wednesday Inaugurated the Lenten
Season Yesterday.
The first evening services during the
Lenten period were held last evening at st.
Paul's Cathedral. The ceremonies con-
sisted of the saying of the Rosary, a sermon,
followed by the benediction. The sermon
was preached by Rev. Father Mollineaux.
His subject was "Penance and Fasting" 4"
and was specific direction as to the man
ner in which Lent should be kept BY all
Catholics. He explained the object of the
Lenton season and why it was absolutely
necessary for the faithful members of the
church to restrict themselves in all things
during certain period of the year. This
is doing penance ior their sins.
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, and in
the morning high mass was said in the
church. After the mass the ashes were dis
tributed.
On Friday evening the stations of the
cross will be read, and will be followed by
sermon and benediction. For those who
cannot attend church in the evening, but
more especially for school children, the sta
tions will also be read in the afternoon. On
Sunday evening there will be yespers, a
sermon and benediction.

ITSS,OOO,OOO BUSHELS
River Operators Make Their Largest
Shipment of the Season
AON 1S-POOT STAGE OF WATER.
The Majority of the Steamboats, Leave for
Southern Ports,
LOADEDDO WITH HEAVY COAL rows

The largest coal shipment of the season
will go out on the present rise. 1t is esti-
mated by operators that the amount will
reach 5000, 600 bushels. A number of boats
were started yesterday morning, more fol-
lowed in the afternoon and evening, and
there will be some boats left to make the
rifle this morning.
The water at noon yesterday was 13 feet
deep, and falling slowly. There will be
enough for boating purposes for the balance
of the week. The operators were busy stock
ing their boats, and getting ready to start their
craft The river merchants were doing a
thriving business. Few boats were left at
their moorings. For the first time in a num-
Der of months the wharfs were free from
boats The majority of them were skirmish-
ing around, wrestling with fats and coal
boats.
W. H. Brown Sons were unable to state
how much coal they would send out, or how
many pieces.
ALREADY ON THE WAY.
The Percy Kelsyan Alice Brown started
in the morning, and the Chas. Brown, Jim
Brown and Alex. Swift will follow. The
Swift was busy yesterday getting its tow
out from the upper pools.

more with boats and 2 barges, 10000
bushels. Jutte & Co. started the Rescue

they would send to the lower ports. but
they had decided to start the Joe Nixon
and Lud Keefer. J. c. Risher & Co. sent
out the Tom Dodsworth and Smoky City.
The Acorn, Maggie and Convoy left for
Thomas Fawcett. The Crescent, Advance,
John Moran and Clifton also made break

VERY LARGE CONTINGENT.
W. W. O'Neil & Co. came in for their
share of the business. The Captain started
the Fred Wilson, Dick Fulton, Belle Nc
Gowan and Enterprise. The Raymond
Horner and Annie Roberts will go out for
Horner & Roberts. Marsh Mcdonald will
send the Hornet. The Pacific left for Gin
cinnati about noon.
The Sam Miller was moving about in
the river like a restless child that had lost
its mamma. Since the failure of the Grand
Lake Coal Company this boat and its two
brethren, the Blackmore and ]. S. Mercer,
have been in the predicament of the boy
who didn't know his own father.
The John Moran is slated for New Or
leans, and the Clifton is scheduled to help
him out with his tow. Most of the coal will
go to Cincinnati and Louisville Between
100000 and {, ,OOO, ! OOO,bushels will be added

A set of these is partitioned off and each

and as the fee is very low it comes cheaper
than the purchase of new tubs or wringers
for individual householders. The queer

best clothes on Monday evening.
The communion with the spirits was to
be in the kitchen. After the crowd had
assembled there the lights were turned out.
A number of weird tappings were heard,
and all of a sudden, when the silence was
excruclating, they felt chill run down
their backs. 1t was not chill that would
be caused by an inward spiritual realiza-
ton, but one that was caused by the upset.
ting Of a tub of sospsuds on the assembled
guests.
The crowd were wild with anger, and
when the gas was ignited it was found that
the young man had placed the tub on an
elevation and upset it with broomstick.
