Their Dissatisfaction Causes Pennsylvania
Stock to Drop.
PHILADELPHIA, November 5.-There
was considerable excitement in the Phila-
delphia Stock Exchange this morning,
caused by rapid decline in Pennsylvania
Railroad. The stock was very active, and it
declined under heavy selling orders. The
stock rallied and closed at 515s bid.
An explanation of the decline. which re-
ceived some consideration, was that London
was dissatisfied with last weeks dividend,
and was selling the stock for that reason.

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

Reference was made in this column few
days ago to the revival of activity in coal
lands. Some information on the subject was
obtained from Mr.. H. w. Srickier yester-
day. He said: ''The inquiry for coal lands
is very active, and prices have nearly
doubled within a month. A sale OF 225
acres, located on the Monsngahela, was
made day or two ago at S225 an acre. Sew
eral other smaller sales have been closed at
about the same figure. Coal land that could
have been bought at $40 an ncre two months
ago is now held at 500 to S125. 1 have just
secured options on several tracts, ranging
from 900 to 5000 acres, all situated on the
Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers. The
outlook for the coal trade was never better
Outside markets have been opened up since
natlral gas came into general use, which take
more than is being produced"
In this connection it is pertinent to state that
Hon. James q. Blaine owns one of the most
valuable bodies of coal land on the Mononga-
hela river. 1t contains about 80 acres and lies
about mile above Elizabeth. He values 1t at
$500 an acre, but has no intention of selling 1t
at that figure, it is his intention to work 1t i'll

The Story of Lots Wife.

The question which a religious oriental put
to himself in ancient times at USdum was
substantially that which his descendant today
puts to himself at Kosser: 'Why is this
region thus blasted s"-"w whence these pillars
oil salt:h or whence these blocks of granite!
what aroused the vengeance of Jehovah
or of Allah to work these miracles of desola-
tiongn
And just as Maxine du Camp recorded the
answer OF the modern Shenite at Kosseir, 50
the compilerS Of the Jewish sacred books re-
corded the answer of the ancient Shemite at
the Dead sea; just as Allah at kosseir blasted
the land and transformed the melons into
powders which are seen to this day, so
Jehovah at USolum blasted the land and trans
formed Lots wife into pillar of salt, which
is seen TO this day.
No more difficulty was encountered in the
formation Of the Lot legend TO account for
that rock resembling the human form than
in toe formation of the Niobe legend, which
accounted for 4 supposed human resemblance
in the rock at Sipyios: it grew Up just as we
have seen thousands of similar myths and
legends grow UP about striking natural ap-
pearanceS in every home of the human race
Being thus consonant with the universal
view regarding the relation of physical
geography to the divine government, it be-
came treasure of the Jewish nation and of
the Christian church--a treasure not only to
be guarded against all hostile intrusion but
to be increased, as We shall see, by the myth
making powers of jews Christians and Mo
hammedans for thousands Of years-Andrew

One Just Now-Ihe Scene Laid in Mich
igan.
Capt. Hall, of the United States secret ser
vice, formerly stationed at Chicago, has had
many exciting experiences with counterfeit
ers, and in view of the recent excitement
over the alleged wholesale manufacture of
silver dollars in Mexico which, it is said,
have been disposed of on Uncle Sans soil at
q good profit, perhaps recital OF one OF
these experiences may be interesting. In
1884 Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan were
flooded with spurious silver dollars which
were so nearly like the genuine that they
were readily received everywhere. Nobody
but experts, in fact, were likely TO discover
the fraud. The coin was Of the same weight
as the genuine. and the stamping and milling
were done with almost equal perfection.
The only perceptible difference was in the
sound when the genuine and the fraudulent
pieces were dropped excessively on some
hard surface. The spurious dollar having
less than forty cents worth of silver in it, it
became a matter of great Importance that
the counterfeiters be captured and their i'm
plements destroyed
Every known resort Of this class of crimi-
mails was surrounded and several old offend
ers and their kits captured. But this did rot
put stop to the output of spurious silver
dollars. Capt. Hall counted noses and found
that he had under arrest every shady char
acter against whom he had grounds for sls-
picion. This satisfied him that the fraudu-
lent silver dollars were the haudiwork of
gang of counterfeiters who had lately ar
rived from some distant part Of the country.
He knew from the manner in which the fresh
coins were put into circulation that the den
of the scoundrels was somewhere in Michi-
gan, probably in the pine woods.
One day Capt. Hall placed his Office in
charge of deputy and started for his resi-
dence up on the south side, carrying well
filed, dilapidated old oilcloth valise Thus he
entered his house. Three-4uarters of an hour
later roughly clad man, with soiled face and
hands, evidently laboror, left Capt. Halls
house and slouched toward the Michigan
Central depot with his hands in his pockets
A gust of wind lifted the tail of his sack coat,
revealing a brace of heavy revolvefs in
holsters attached to the strap which ostensbly
held his trousers up. The man was Capt
Hall, but his own son would not have known
him. Even the conductor who punched his
Communication ticket every morning and even
ing had no suspicion Of the identity Ct the
rough looking man in the smoking car who
handed him ticket to Grand Rapids
The old secret service agent slouched about
the streets and barrooms of Grand Rapids for
three days On the afternoon of the third
day he stood by the bar Of a low saloon, when
a villainous looking stranger with a green
shade over his left eye entered with lumber.

A New RELIGIOUS Sect.

They have new religious sect in Michigan
who call themselves The Saints" They are
growing quite rapidly in numbers, but it is
not essential that they should grow in holi-
ness, for their doctrine is that they cannot
sin. One who is not in their fold is full Of
sin, and if all the organized churches don't
disband and join them they are doomed to
perdition.
The shepherd of this sanity fold is D. S.
Warner. He is a man of but little education,
but a good talker. He has two assistants, E.
e. Byrum and S. Michels of South Haven
