John Stauffer has made an important
discovery Of anthracite coal on his farm.
back Of Cherry Run. w. Va. twenty
miles south Of Hagerstown. With the aid
Of his son and one hired man he has
mined during the past two or three
months twenty tons Of coal, and landed
the same at the top OF a 50-fOot shaft by
hand The coal was carefully covered,
and the mining went on In the strictest
secrecy by the light of an ordinary coal
oil lamp.
Staulfer has now started from the bot
tom Of the shaft 10 tunnel into the noun
tain. Tie vein is very thick. and the
coal has been pronounced equal TO the
Shamokin Valley product Stauifers
tract embraces 1000 acres. but the land
is poor and his means are limited Some
time ago options were secured on neigh
boring lands, but prospecting met with
10 results.
Before Stauffer had investigated the
extent of the vein he is now working he
tried TO enlist the aid Of local capitalists
I'm the formation Of a company, but was
not successful After this he started right
in to work. keeping his movements Sc
cret, and making surprising discoveries.

Why lie Declined.
Qondon letter.

A curious reason IL said 10 have gov
erned Sir Edward Malet. the retiring
British Ambassador at Berlin, In refus-
Ing the peerage offered him this week
by Lord Salisbury. He declines the peer
age because Lady Malet would lose In
rank by his elevation. She now takes
precedence Of countesses as the daugh-
ter OF a duke married 10 a commoner; but
IL her husband became a peer she
would then rank as hts wife. IL Is well
known that lady In the same position
as Lady Malet was so angry with the
late Lord Derby for giving her husband
a peerage that the first time she met the
Troy Minister afterward she informed
him that he had deliberately dishonored
her, for now. being regarded officially
As a baron's wife. and not as dukes
daughter, she had to yield precedence ito
all the rag-tag and bob-taii OF the peer
age"
