Anthracite Gaa1.

II las long been known that tho ter.
per Dcar rivers was one vast coal field,
bu, not until recently has II became
known that ANYTHING other u.an su.
pcrior grade OF domestic and steam coal
existed in tire section named. Lately 1t
became noiscd about that anthracite
Goa! had been discovered on upper Bear
river and that Colonel len Price was
the discovcrcr.
While in Meckcr some weeks Bgo the
Colonc! was approached concerning the
discoveries with wiiic, his name was
linked. and after little hesitation ad-
mittcd that he was interested in some
very promising discoveries over in the
Bear river country. Mr.. Price said he
was going over there in few days and
invited THE HERALD scribe TO go
along. The invitation was accepted
and the trip TO the anthracite coal belt
made last week.
Colonel Price is an old Pennsylvania
coal operator and knows anthracite
when he sees IT.: consequently when
someone produced piece of coal Mt the
Keystone COW camp. last fall. stating
that II came from Eikhcad. IL did not
take him long to saddle his horse and
strike out for that part of upper Bear
lie found two small veins on Elkhead
creek but did not consider them worth
locating. These small discoveries, how.
ever. convinced Mr.. rrice that anthra-
cite coal was to be found in that i'm
mediate vicinity. so he concluded to
prospect around little before abandon
ing the search. He accordingly started
up Dry Fork of Elkhead and when at
a point near the head of Morgan creek
commenced digging "woodctucS holes y
After II few days spent in getting under
meath the grass roots the ColoncIs
perseverance, was rewarded by the dis
covery OF as pretty VEIN Of anthracite
coal rs he ever laid eyes on. 1t was
the truck" he WAS after. and il sur
face Indications counted for anything
there was quite a body of IL. AS 1t was
then late In the fall snow soon put a
stop to developments, and after secur.

A SPECIAL MEETING.

The Stockholders of the Thomson-
 Houston Electric Light Company
 Vote to Increase the Preferred Stock
 ss,OOO,eoo.
 BOSTON, Dec. 18.-A special meeting of the stockholders of the Thomson-Housson Electric Light Go. was held at Middletown, Conn.,, this afternoon to decide upon the issue of additional preferred stock. The present capital of the company is, common stock 44, SOC, ,000, preferred stock $1 1000, ,000; total $5,500,0o0. The stockholders voted unanimously to increase the preferred stock $3, 600 800, making 8 total of $4.O00, ,000 preferred stock and total capitalization of $8, ,500.000. It was voted to leave the matter of time of issue and method of disposal of the new preferred stock to the board of directors of the company. The price will also be decided upon by the board of direc- tors, they being prevented by the terms of the charter from offering it below par. No additional issue of common stock will be made at present, 50 that the issue of pre- ferred stock, wherever it may be sold, will be in effect borrowing so much money at a fixed rate of interest, leaving the holder of the common stock in possession of the same per- centage of the profits of the company as heretofore. At the meeting no other busi- ness than the above was transacted. It is expected that formal announcement of the plan of placing this preferred stock, only small amount of which will be needed at present, will soon be made.

.THE SPIRIT OF THE PURlTANs."


 Is The Subject of ,he Fore1ashers, Day Address Delivered by Dr. StOrrs Last Evening at Boston.
 BOSTON, Dec. 1S.-Rev. Dr. R. s. Storrs, Q. D., of New York, delivered an interest ing forefathers' day address this evening in Fremont Temple, taking for his subject "The Spirit of the Puritans." It is often said by those who desire the welfare of the nation, said the speaker, that what this its place in the world, is large measure of the puritan spirit in energetic development and in wider distribution. On the other hand multitudes say "It is precisely this puritan spirit which we do not" The ele- ments vitally involved in the distinctive pur- itan spirit as disengaged from individual traits, are: An intense conviction of truth with 8 subsequent desire to maintain and extend it and to bring all others if possible to eecept it; an intense sense of the authority of righteousness; a profound assurance of a personal power at the head of the universe who is working for righteousness and who means to make it triumphant in the world; and, fourth, profound sense of the invisi- ble world as the immortal realm of right eousness and of the dignity of the nature of man, who is constitutionally related to that and to the righteousness which is sovereign in it. While these are the principal clements in the Puritan spirit to 1t also belong the defects of it's virture and the l roughness of it's strength. And the evident deficiencies or faults which appear in cons nection with the Puritan temper are such as to excite among multitudes of men a very vigorous dissent. One of them certainly is a want of interest in things esthetic. This has been narrowness through narrowness that has had depth in it, and narrowness for which the puritan has suffered in the dimin- ution of his influence in the world and the darkening of his fame, moro than others for | conspicuous crimes.
