The laying of the first cable in 1853 was
a noble historic event, an English and
American frigate parting in mid-ocean
each carrying One-half of the cable and
laying it as they proceeded homeward.
When messages were exchanged between
President Buchanan and Queen Victoria
cannon were fired in almost every city in
the Union, and a grand procession and dis
play of fireworks took place in New York.
But the cable broke, and though efforts
were made TO repair it, the enterprise
proved temporary failure.
The Civil war rendered it impossible for
Mr.. Field to procure sufficient capital for
another and improved cable. He did not
however, lose heart, for in 1858 the hugo
steamship Great Eastern was sent across
the Atlantic with the second cable.
After 1900 miles had been laid the line
parted, and it was not until July 81, 1865,
that telegraphic communication was
perfected between the two con-
tinents. So successful was the com
pany that Mr.. Field became millionaire
Congress voted him gold medal, and he
received many honors from European gov
ernments.
In 1875 Mr.. Field turned his attention
to rapid transit in New York, and obtained
Company. In this enterprise he was
Joined by Samuel j. Tilden and other cap
italists. They proceeded to xtend the
West side route and built the Third Ave
nue. road. Other capitalists established
the Sixth and Second avenue lines. Then
there came a consolidation under the name
of the Manhattan.
Later Mr.. Field attempted to fight the
Wall street octopus which effort resulted
in his losing control of his elevated rail
road interests, at cost estimated all the
way from 81 900, 900 to $5,000,000,
OF late years Mr.. Field has devoted
himself to the care of his real estate prop
erty, his advanced age and failing health
compelling him to husband his strength.
Personally Mr.. Field was very genial
man, and he had many friends in all
parts of the world, for he was an extern
sive traveller.

COAL TO GO HIGHER.
An Advance of Fifty Cents said to Have
Been Determined Upon.

New YORK, July 13.-Philadelphia dis
patches say that it has been decided by the
Reading combine to advance anthracite
coal prices % cents a ton August 1, thus
establishing a basis of S4.75 for stove
coal.
The programme is said to be to make
the highest price of the year S., and if
things work right another and final ad-
vance of 20 cents will be made on Septem-
ber l.
Much depends on how the August ad-
vance is taken. Some of the New York
interests think $475 high enough. The
July price is 25 cents above the highest
price of last year, and every advance of 20
cents now means 81 100000 net to the
Reading Coal & Iron Company.

LOVE LAUGHS.
Parents Still Continue to be SterI
Just the Same.

Mr.. Pickert, aged about 25, and
Miss Cogswell, aged about Is, of
near Thompson Station, fell in love
with each other. They came to Mex
leo to take the train in order to go west
and get married and grow up with
the country. Mr.. Cogswell came to
town and followed the couple up,
catching them between here and
Kansas City on the G. & A. The
serious part of the whole escapade
is that Mrs. Cogswell, the mother OF
the young lady concerned, is dam
gerously i'll and said to be hopelessly
insane. We trust that this is a
mistake and that while love is said
to laugh at locksmiths and angry
parents, ETC., everything will be ar
ranged satisfactorily SO that the wed
ding bells may ring as ioyously as
usual.
