Thwarted by the Engineer.

Negroes Attempt to Wreck Train
Thwarted by the Engineer.
MEMPHIS. Tenn. Aug. 25.-T Special]-
A daring attempt was made to wreck q
train on the Illinois Central main limo
Monday. Had the northbound accom-
mediation train from Water Valley to
Grand Junction been going faster, there
would have been an awful disaster.
About seven miles north Of Holly Springs
the carpenters arc repriring the bridge.
AS the northbound train came in sight
Of the bridge, the engineer noticed that
one rail seemed to BIO unduly elevated.
He quickly applied tho air-brakes and
reversed his engine.
1t was we'll he did. AS the engine went
on the bridge it was discovered that a
piece of iron, known as Stirrup among
bridgemen, had been securely fastened
to the rail and would have thrown any
train from the track. Luckily, only
the front trucks Of the engine left the
rails. Word was at once sent along the
road, and soon after poose of men,
with M. l.. Brewer, of Holly Springs, at
their head, went in pursuit of the perpe-
traitors of the deed. In the excitement
of the narrow escape from being thrown
with his train from the bridge into the
water below, the engineer noticed two
negroes sneaking away through the
bushes. Suspicion was directed toward
them. The posse heard of the negroes
being seen in the vicinity and an ac-
curat description was secured OF both.
After chase of several hours, Mr..
Brewer caught the two negroes They
gave their names as Will Frost and
Will Mcdowell. They were separated
by the possee and each said enough to
duplicate the other. They were then
confronted, and their captor told zach
what the other had said. They confess
sed to having done the deed. Frost
said Mcdowell had large axe, which
he intended to use for breaking open
coaches in case of wreck. Tho nc
groes were taken to Holly Springs and
jailed. Both have the reputation OF
being hard characters. and it is thought
they intended to wreck the train for
robbery.

COAL IN THE WEST.
There Arc Vast Fields OF This Fuel II.
you'd tho Mississippi.

There Arc Vast Fields OF This Fuel Bc-
yond tho Mississippi.
Tho middle states rs producers OF
coal and consequently rs malzers Of
iron have long been conscious of tho
rapid development in Alabama of coal
mining and netallurgy, but few per
sons ON tho Atlantic side arc aware,
says the New York Times, of tho vast
coal fields west of tho Mississippi, as
indicated In bulletin No. 4S of the
census.
In1SS0 the quantity Of coal produced
west tho Mississippi was set down as
1854, S24 tons In 1850 it aggregated
16,O07, 900 tons. The value of the prod
uct in 1880 being $3.50, 7s9, last year
it was Se4,413,2G2 On increase worth
S15,5s3,540 In tho decade, then, tho
augmentation of the product has been
threefold, with the necessary decrease
OF value fgom S1.0S to Sl.59 per ton. In
1880 North Dakota, Texas, New Mexico
and Indian Territory produced no coal;
now they enter into the list as mining
coal. Iowa comes first, with 1T9
regularly established mines and $50
located mines, with total product
of 4061.7o tons, employing $500 per
sons. Kansas and Missouri produce,
respectively, $3.50, 900 and 3, SGT, 1928 tons.
and tho two give employment to 1880
people.
Colorado makes 2,S6O, 636 tons OF cool,
and 1915 persons work in tho mines
Kansas has coal measures with an area
of 10000 square miles, which undcrlio
the entire eastern portion of the state.
Coal Is known to exist In twenty coun-
ties, but operations arc so fur limited to
six of them. Half of Iowa Is undertake
with coal well adapted for steam nnd
heating purposes. 1t is the possibilities
of Texas as u coal producing state
which arc Of interest. There seem to
be good reasons for believing that her
conl measures have an area of IL, 900
square miles So far her production
hes been small-about 10000 tons in
1850.
In California the best source Of
coal is in the Mount Diablo district and
Coos Bay, but the output from all
mines has been SMALLER, $50 tons
The consumption of coal in California
having been at present about 1881, 0T5
tons, Australia and japan furnish
400, 1872 tons, British Columbia AZ, 004,
and Washington 372, 514 tons. It Is In
Washington that there arises the not
too sanguine hope that in short tino
She will produce all the coal wanted in
California
The total area Of tho coal deposit at
Washington he's not yet been deter
mined, but Mr.. J. II. Jones, with tho
special agent in charge of the division
OF mines and mining, believes there Is
no doubt that almost incxhaustible
supplies are ut hand not only for the
future demand of its own population
but sufficient to furnish basis of profit
able traffic for transportation to the
entire Pacific coast" In 1880 the Wash
ington product of coal was close to
1000, 600 of tons.
