The results of figuring on the coal
supply of the United States were re-
Gently presented to the academy of
natural sciences at Philadelphia by
Gen. Isaac J. Wistar. He thinks that
at the present rate of consumption we
shall have no coal at all in liz years
from now. This is much smaller es-
innate of time than made by others,
but it may be close to the truth, being
arrived at from personal observation of
the great coal fields of the United
States, British Columbia and Nova
Scotia The general says all the coal
fields in North America contain less
than $50, 900 square miles of actual coal.

Transferred from the Executive Depart
ment to the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Jan. a6-Interest in
the Chilian situation was yesterday
transferred from the executive depart
ment to the capitol. Contrasted with
the general feeling of excited interest
prevailing at the latter place over the
presidents message and the accom-
panying correspondence, the state, war
and navy departments seemed dreary
and deserted, and the undercurrent OF
excitement among the officials cropped
out in few instances only. As many
of the officials as could conveniently
get away went to hear the presidents
message read.
Gen. Schofield. the commanding gen.
eral of the army, shook his head when

ing my mouth shut" he said.
Gen. Schofield would not say whether
or not any orders hadbe en- issued for a
concentration of troops.
Commodore Ramsey, the chief of the
bureau of navigation, was equally ret
icent lie knows all about the move
ments of the naval vessels, and can
give as much information concerning
the real condition of affairs as any man
under the government He met every
inquiry for news with polite refusal
to talk.
Later in the day activity about the
war and navy departments was re-
sumed War and naval officials were
in constant consultation and Commo-
dore Ramsey and Adjt zen. Williams
of the war department had a confer
ence of almost an hour as to the dis
position of United States troops, their
present location, etc.
1t is stated on high military authority
that the army is in condition for inn

HALLlNGER STILL LIVES
And Peshall Says He Will Never
Die From Rope.

Charles J. Peshall last week went be-
fore Judge Dallas of the United States
Courts and again presented an appeal
on behalf of Edward w. Hallinger, the
brutal negro who pleaded guilty to
the murder of Mary Petersen, a
colored woman, on April 5. 1891
Hallinger has since then been three
times sentenced to death by the Court OF
Oyer and Terminer In this county, and he
has twice been snatched from the
hands of Hangman Van Htse
through the efforts of Mr.. Peshall.
The case has twice been in the United
States Supreme Court and was each time
dismissed on legal technicalities. The
merits of the case have not been decided,
which, briefly put, are that Hallinger
can not be legally executed because he
Yves not tried by jury and that Hal
linger could not waive the constitutional
right of jury trial.
Judge Dallas heard the argument OF
Mr.. Peshal and granted an, order direct.
ing that an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court might again be had in
order that the merits of the case might
be decided.
Lawyer Peshall went to Trenton today
to have this order properly filed, and he
will serve a stay Of execution upon Jailer
Davis before tomorrow. The execution was
set down for June 2. exactly one year
from the date the execution was first set
down for. Mr.. Peshall Is as confident as
ever that Hallinger will never hang for
the death of Mary Petersen.

AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
A Grand Army Sermon on the
Greatness and Glory of
the Land.

Special memorial services were held at
St. Paul's Methodist Church on Sunday
night. Pastor Eakins had sent out in
vitations to G. A. R. men, and large
number were present. The services
opened with the anthem. "My Country
'Tis of Thee" sung by the choir. Another
hymn prepared by the choir aud founded
on the the text. "He Hath Not Dealt so
With Any Nation" was effectively
rendered.
MIR. Eakins delivered an interesting SER
mon, in which he pointed out the many
advantages the United States possessed
as compared with other nations. He
called attention to the vast extent of ter
ritory in the United States, and the
opportunities it afforded for development.
TIE physical features of the country are
calculated to exert healthful and elevat-
ing influence on the Inhabitants. Peo-
Pile of other nations might call attention
to the fast habits and the struggling for
wealth and say that these are signs OF de-
terioration, but the fact remained that in
no other country were the rights OF the
masses so fully respected as they are In
this land. In no other country IS merit
calculated to earn its just recognition as
in ours. The highest office in the land
was accessible to the humblest and
a man who had been born in log cabin
filled the highest office in the land:
The educational system of the United
States is equal IL not superior to those OF
any other country. In closing the pastor
summarized the many advantages Of the
country and said that If the privileges
were great the responsibilities of the peo-
pie were greater, and they should strive
to make this nation the grandest In the
uniYerSa.
