ORIGIN OF ANTHRACITE,
A Theory Oncred as a Solution of a
Mystery of Science.

science.
From the Independent.
The main difference between anthra cite
and bituminous coal Is that the former is
devoid OF volatile matter. Heretofore the
tneory generally accepted to account for
THIS dinerence was that presented half a CEN
fury ago by Prof. Rodgers while conducting
the hrst geological survey OF Pennsylvania.
Observing that the anthracite beds lay in
the eastern part of the state. in close prox-
unity to the Archean axis OF elevation, he
surmised that these coal beds had, so to
speak. been cooked" upon the elevation of
the Appalachian chain; that is. he sum
posed that the heat and pressure accompa-
nying the Appalachian elevation, acting
most vigorously near the axis, had distilled
and removed the volatile matter OF the coal
bed nearest II.
To adjust the theory to increasing facts.
Prof Lesley added the supposition that the
heat involved In this theory was brought
up by conduction when the SUPERINTENDENT
layers of rock were extremely thick. which
nave since been mainly removed by the
erosive agencies which have been active
over the region for millions of years The
1nadequacy of these theories has led Prof
j. j. stevenson of the University OF New
York to PROFOUND another and simpler The
DRY. which was ably defended by him at the
recent meeting OF the Geological Society OF
America He would account for the lack
or volatile matter i'm anthracite coal by the
simple fact that it had been longer exposed
to that Of decay which takes place in veye-
table matter when immersed with water.
ana which consists chiefly in the loss OF the
hydrocarbons which constitute the volatile
elements in bituminous coal.
On this superstition the anthracite beds
are those which were formed earliest in the
swamps and lagoons of the carboniferous
period, and remained longest devoid of the
covering of sedimentary deposits, which
subsequently, preserved them from further
change. This theory is confirmed by the
fact that there is no such strict relation of
the anthracite beds to the Appalachian axis
or elevation as Prof. Rodgers had supposed.
and by many other considerations viii I'll
Prof Stevenson is about to publish. The
simple cause seems adequate TO account for
OF the long-standing mysteries Of geoiogi-
cal science.

Jupiter's Fifth Satellite Travels Over

From the Hartford Times.
A newer and more accurate computation

rate of 16.4 miles second a rate of twelve
times swifter than that of little Phobos, the
inner one Of the two satellites Of Mars.
CThese two little moons of Mars also were
discovered by an American observer) This
nth moon of Jupiter is not only very small
SO small. indeed, that even the space-pen-
etrating eye of the giant refractor on Mount
Hamilton fails to reveal 1t as a disk, and
leaves it a mere stellar point of light-but it
Is also very near the great planet. Prof.
Barnard does not believe IL can exceed even
If 1t equals, a diameter Of 1UO miles-truly a
wonderful speck to see, by an observer sta
toned on our globe, gazing through a pro-
Ioun0 gun or space about 4OO,UUO, 900 of
miles deep! And the tiny object Is flying
around the deep majestic orb Of Jupiter at
the least possible distance consistent with
its own safety; TO- 1t is found to lie at a
distance of $1,000 miles from Jupiter's sur
face, Just outside of a certain limit, inside

because OF the enormous attractive power
of the great planet. which would pretty GER
tainly tear the little moon to pieces.
1t Is also computed pretty certainly that
any freely movable OBJECT on the surface
OF this newly discovered moon, as a man, a
chair, cart, etc.. must be instantly drawn
Tor rather huried( through the $1,000
intervening miles directly to the big
planet as soon as Jupiter rises above
the horizon of any such object. A
man on that satellite would have to be
anchored with something heavier than

would avoid a cannon-bal flight to Jupiter,
with the prospect of being dashed to bits on

1900 miles from the center of the great

moon Is believed to be already losing its
bulk, in the shape of various materials
drawn on into a ring; thin ring like one
or Saturn's encircling Jupiter, but, as yet,
invisible from the earth. 1t may be true.
Even to be drawn into a ring wouldn't hurt

the quays at the Union iron works in
the presence Of one Of the greatest
crowds Of people which ever assembled
there to witness similar event. The
launch was entirely successful, and the
new battleship now lies in little la
goon in front of the Union iron works
awaiting her completion, which will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
The Oregon is what is technically
known as Il sea- going coast line battle
ship, and is the most powerful vessel in
the United States navy. Her dimen-
tions are: Length over all, 34S feet;
load water line, $50 feet; breadth 50
feet inches; draught, II feet; dis
placement, 10 ,29S tons; maximum horse
power, 9 200. She will have Il maximum
speed of siXteen and two tenths knots,
and will carry crew of 400 men. Her

ceremonies, and a more unique celebra-
ton would be hard to conceive. The
proverbial fanltless weather ofthe Fair
was even brighter than ever, and the
days festivities drew out large crowd.
The feature of the day was a marine
parade through thelagoon. Participate
ing in the parade was every conceivable

At night the parade was repeated,
the boats being Illuminated With red

An Important Suit.

LITTLE Rock, Oct. pa suit of vital
Importance to the citizens of eastern
Arkansas and Missouri was filed in the
United States Court to-day.
The Memphis Land and Timber
Company and other owners of 5000
acres of land in the st. Francis Basin
filed bill to enjoin the St. Francis
Levee District and it's collectors from
collecting the taxes assessed in that
district on the ground that the act of
the last General Assembly, creating
the district is unconstitutional. The
district embrases the ST. Francis Basin
IN Arkansas, containing over 1000, 900
acres, and the bill contemplated the
cooperation of the district in Missouri
SO as to form one continuous levee dis
trict
Under the act 100, 900 acres of swamp
lands belonging to the State were
donated to the district for it's improve
ment and the Board of Directors
were authorized to levy tax upon the
lands Of the district for the building
and maintaining Of levees. The land
owners in the district are determined
to fight the collection Of the tax both in
the Federal and State courts. The dis
trict was not represented in the Fed
eral Court to-day and a temporary re-
straining order was granted by Judge
Williams. The counsel for the district
had been notified and will fight it on
its merits and carry it to the highest
tribunal if necessary for final settle
ment.
Proceedings will also be begun by land
owners in Crittendon county before
Judge Riddick at Harrisburg to-day
The bill alleges the act creating the ST..
Francis Levee District unconstitutiona
on the ground that the State can not
create a private corporation by special
act and that the power Of taxation can
not be. conferred on private corpora
ton and that the owners of lands in the
district have no voice in the selection
of Directors of the Levee Board. i
This is the commencement of one of
the most important suits ever instituted
in the courts of this section.

Admiral Stanton Relieved.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-Admiral Stan
tan, in command of the United States
vessels at Rio Janeiro, has been detach-
ed from duty because he saluted the
vessel of Admiral Mello, commander of
the insurgent fleet there.
When the report of the Admiral's ac-
ton was received here yesterday it was
credited, but Secretary Herbert cabled
to Rio Janeiro for information and
last evening received full confirmation
This salute was unauthorized by any in
structions the admiral had received.
1t was an unfriendly act toward a
friendly power, and the Secretary of
the Navy, after consulting with the
President and Secretary Of State, issued
an order detatching Admiral Stanton
from command of his sou uadron and
turning it over to Captain Picking, the
next officer in rank.
Naval officials talked with on the SUBJ
ject are at loss TO accout for so serious
DETECTION from duty on the part of
Admiral Stanton. 1t is said that Cap
tain Picking will remain in charge of
the feet of American ships in the har-
Dor possibly permanently, or at any
rate until successor to Rear Admiral
Stanton is appointed, Commadore
Ramsey, chief Of the bureau of Naviga
! ton, said it had not yet been determin-
ed who would succeed Stanton.
Secretary Herbert expressed his sur
prise that an officer of Admiral Stan
toms experience and standing should
commit such blunder and his prompt
action is taken with the purpose of an
nouncing to the world that the United
States government has taken no steps
to refuse recognition to the legally con-
structed Brazilian government.

Train Robbers Convicted.

Fort SMITH, ARK, Oct 26.-In the
United States Court this afternoon
Henry Starr, John Wilson, and Alf
CLANCY were convicted of the robbery
Of a Missouri, Kansas, and Taxes train
at Pryor Creek, I. 7, The robbery was
committed at s o'clock on the night of
May 2, 1888. The train was surrounded
just after it stopped at the station by
six men who took the engineer and fire.
man off and then went back to the ex-
press car. They made the express mes
senger open the door and then one of
the robbers opened the local safe. They
did not get much out of it; they then
tried to make him open the through
safe. The trainsmen finally convinced
them that the messenger did not know
the combination. The gang then went
into the smoking car, taking the engi-
neer. fireman, messenger, 3 conductor
with them. Starr and " ison went
through the passengers j.. ais car and
Frank CLANCY was one of the guards
on the platform, while Alf CLANCY
stood on the ground to keep anyone
from getting off.
. Several citizens had come to the
depot to see the train come in aud the
robbers had these corralled in the
depot. The passengers were all taken
into the depot and the robbers searched
them again and also went through the
citizens. The passengers in the sleep
ers were not disturbed. The train was
detained an hour and half, during the
most of which time the robbers kept a
pistol at the head of the messenger
and threatened to kill him.
There were Is counts in the indict-
ment, and the jury convicted the pris-
oners on six. There were q large num-
ber of witnesses and nearly every one
identified Starr aud Wilson, though
only few had seen CLANCY sufficiently
to identify him. The attorneys fot
Starr and Wilson early gave up the
hope of saving them but fought hard
to keep down the number of counts on
which there should be a conviction A
hard fight was made to clear Alf Chan
ey. "Kid'' Wilson took the stand dur
ing the trial and said that the robbery
was committed by himself, Starr, Frank
Chaney, jim Wilson, (the kids"
brother) and two others, whom he knew
only as Bill aud Jack, and that Alf
,Chaney had nothing to do with it..
Frank CLANCY and the other two mem
bers of the gang are at large. Judge
Parker will give them the full extent
of the law, as he is determined to wipe
out train robbing if it is within his
over.

Resulted in a Hung Jury.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Oct. 1.-THE
Woodruff jury has failed to agree and
was discharged this morning by Judge
Lea after having been kept together
seventy hours. In the former mistrial
the jury was out just Is hours, The
present jury stood 10 to 2 for convie-
ton. When the jury made its last re-
port yesterday hope of a verdict was
expressed by the jurors themselves.
The first ballot stood to for convic-
tion; the second 9 to and the remain
ing ballots 10 to 2. Those voting for
acquittal were B. n. Depiest and j. F.
Goodson, both farmers, ex-Confederate
soldiers and the oldest men on the
jury.
Last evening Goodson told Depriest
that if he would sign asverdict for con-
viction be (Goodson would. Depriest
said he would do SO if the Jury would
leave the punishment to the Court. 1t
was then agreed to sleep over theamat-
ter. When morning came they refused
TO agree to last nights proposition.
The 10 who stood for conviction are
very indignant and think the State has
been slandered by the action Of the mi
nority.
It was reported in the streets as com
ing from Depriest that he refused to
convict Woodruff because he had been
Confederate soldier. The verdict is
very unsatisfactory the people wanting
the matter settled one way or another,
since the cases have cost the county a
large amount Of money. There are two
or three indictments against Woodruff,
but the State Attorney does not say
what action he will take or when they
will be tried, although Judge Lea says
they can not come up this term.
