MINERAL LAND.

offer for sale 2O1 acres of Coal and
Iron Land, situated in the Catawba VAL
ley OF Virginia, eleven miles from Roam
oke. The outlook for great develop
ments on this property is splendid. The
orc is vein Of soft brown hematite as
feet wide and assaying so per cent me-
tallic iron. And the coal prospects are
fine-two shafts having been sunk, ono
20 and the other 25 feet, through solid
coal slate. The property also contains
mineral spring, which the analysis OF
Lehman & Mayer proved to possess re-
markable curative powers for all kidney
troubles, especially for diabetes. Tho
enormous quantity of coal and ore that
will be required for the large number Of
furnaces and other industrial plants in
course Of construction in Southwest Vir-
ginia will greatly increase the already
large demand for these minerals, and
consequently enhance tho value of such
property. Two railroads have been sur
veyed near tho property, ono of which
tho Roanoke and Craig railroad, and the
other, the Virginia Western railroad,
will afford valuable connections. Fuller

They Had Considerable Fun mt tho Ex-
penso of tho St.stlon-AIastor.
An amusing incident lately occurred
on southern railroad in England in
connection with the Duke OF Norfolk
and tho Marquis of Butte, says London
Society. Tho Duke and Marquis wcro
ollow-travelcrs, and when tho train
stopped at - station a companion
joined them In the person of the station
master himself, who was going for a
jaunt some twenty miles further up tho
limo. The Duke and station-master,
who were both diminutivc men and
therefore fond of talk, soon got into con-
versation, while the Marquis-a tall,
robust man-wss inclined to be roticcnt,
until he found his friend the Duke up to
his oars in conversation, when no him
self joined. addressing most of his con-
vcrsation to tho stranger.
Atlcngth tho train arrived at D and
the Marquis hade hearty farewell to
the Duke, and with kindly adicu and
shake of the hand from tho stranger,
tho Marquis Quilted the carriage,
whilo his dispatch-box and wraps wcro
secured, to the surprise of tho station
master, by tall powdered footman,
and tho train soon glided again out of
tho station. Silence was not, however,
long maintained, the station-master
breaking out with tho question: ~ Won
der who that swell was?" That" re-
piled his companion, "was the Marquis
of Butte" The answer sccmcd to dunn
found tho stati on-mastcr for time, but
presently no exclaimed: $50 that were
Marquis, was he? Well, now, l dc
think 1T kind Of him to talk to two such
snobby littlo chaps as us, don't you?"
Tho Duke nodded his assent and had q
good laugh. When tho train drew up
again his grace affably bado his compan-
ion Goodbye" and, on alishting on tho
platform, was received with the greatest
dcferonco by throng of Jesuit priests,
this incident again setting tho station
master tho task Of inquiry, who inquis-
itively asked brother official: "Who
that little bloke WASP" That" replied
the guard, sis tho Duke of Norfolk. !"
Tho station-mnstcr, aftor this, declared
he would mover travel nrst-class again
as long as he lived.

POLK CAN'T BLUFF HALL.
Interesting Alliance News.--The Mississippi
President Given Two Alternatives
He Will Accept Neither-Given
a Month to Answer.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, June pa
Jackson, Miss, special to the Times-
Union, says: During the visit here of
Polk, Livingston, Mcdowell and VIII
let's, alliance lights, some interesting
Developments came to the surface in
national alliance matters. The nation
al alliance legislative council met in
Washington last February and created
legislative committee consisting of
three members, of whom Z. S. Hall,
president of the Mississippi alliance,
was one. The functions Of this COM
mittee were to formulate measures
growing out of the Ocala demands TO
be presented to the fifty-seeond con-
gress. Hall, from the inception OF the
sub-treasury measure, has been one of
its strongest opponents. When he was
selected member of the committee, it
was regarded as victory for the anti
treasuryites, and was so proclaimed,
and as an indication of the ultimate
abandonment Of the scheme. Hall,
after his election, commenced to work
with increased vigor against the scheme
and with his coadjutors had succeeded
in organizing a movement covering
the entire Southern States as is shown
from a call for meeting Of the anti
sub-treasury league at Dallas, Texas,
July 10th, next. This meeting prom
ises to be largely attended, and an or
ganized opposition to the sub-treasury
measure, and McCuneisu will be def
nitely inaugurated.
On this circumstance hangs an inter-
estjng tale Within the last month
demonstrates have been sent to Hall
by members of the legislative council
and the members have also urged upon
President Polk the necessity of taking
action against Hall. Polk had consid-
cradle correspondence with Hall, ad-
vising him to desist and very recently
submitted to him one of two alterna-
tives, either to cease his opposition to
the sub-treasury bill or to tender his
resignation as a member of the legis-
lative committee. In the event of his
noncompliance he was given plainly
to understand that he would be sus-
pended, aud was given until july 18th
to make his answer. 1t is believed
that this is decisive stroke Of policy
to frustrate the object of the anti-sub-
treasuryites at Dallas, and to influence
the less intrepid opponents Of the
measure than Hall to steer clear of the
Dallas council. Those who know Mr..
Hall assert positively that he will de-
cline to be, coerced and give up his con-
victions, but on the contrary he willy
resign and fight the sub-treasury
scheme harder than ever. It is believed
by many that this will split the ma
tional alliance, and an independent or
ganization will grow out of the Dallas
meeting as result, with more liber-
al policy IN many respects and espe-
cially as regards membership.

GOOD NEWS OF TIE THREE C'S.
Work of Building Will Soon be Resumed
philadelphia Capitalists Interested
Too Promising to be Abandoned.

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-Those in
this city who are interested in the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
railroad, have about completed ar
rangmepts for the reorganization Of the
road, and floating loan as to so far
complete the road that it will be en-
abled to earn the Interest upon lis
bonds.
1t is proposed to take the road out OF
the hands of the receiver and complete
a large portion of it. Those directly in
torested in the roads future some time
ago prepared a plan of reorganization
and submitted it to the creditors. En-
gineers were sent to Tennessee, Georgia
and other States through which the
road is to run, and the reports they
brought back were so encouraging that
a general agreement to the plan of re-
organization was proposed. During
the week just passed nearly every cred
itor has affixed his signature. Now
only a few small ones have not signed
aud these are expected to comein with
in the next day or so.
AS soon as this is done, application
will be made to hand the property
over the stockholders.
The engineers examination resulted
in ascertaining that if between $500, 900
and S7OO,O00 are expended on the eroad at
once, it can be so far completed that
interest may be earned upon all bonds
that have been issued.
arrangements have been made,''
said gentleman heavily interested in
the road, ito borrow the money nee
essary to do this work, and just as soon
as the plan of reorganization goes
through, it will be forthcoming.
"We propose to put large force OF
men at work, and before the end of
the year we Will have several hundred
miles of road in operation and paying
good returns"
