Big CoL11ERY DEAL IN ENGLANp.-

BIG CoLLIERY DEAL IN ENGLAND
The sale of the Earl of Durham's col
lieries to company headed by Sir
James Joicey, M. P, is the largest
transaction of the kind in England in
recent years. The collieries number
fourteen, and they produce over 1000,
600 tons of coal year, and in the bar
gain were included the famous Lamb
ton fleet of nineteen steamers, carrying
coal to almost all ports in the German
ocean, besides number of locomotives
and l 800 horses. The exact terms of
the sale are not known, but the COM
pauy paid s5 100000 to Lord Durham
when they took over the property. The
company, reckoning the collieries they
already possess and the mining prop
erty of the Joicey family, will probably
have a controlling influence in the coal
trade Of the world.

CARLIN SPRINGS ITEMS.

The annual meeting of the Carlin
Springs Cooperative Association was
held in Curtis Hall, May 305h. The
board of directors elected to serve dur

and w. H. Ocott, treasurer. w. p.
Jones, Matthew Trimble, VIM. NJ.
King, n. B. Hedrick and B. T. Janney
were elected as members of the execu-
tive committee.
The most important item of business
was the addition to our public park of
about four and half acres, making in
all about eighteen acres, which includes
the two fine springs from which the
village was named. Situated as the
park is, on the north front of the vii
lage along Four-mile-run and the w.
& o. r. r. line, it forms one of the
most desirable attractions to our
otherwise beautiful village. The
new, commodious and most hand

of the Southern railway line
are what we have long needed, and the
hearty vote OF thanks rendered to the
enterprisng managers of the Southern
by the association on the 30th ult. at
tests to the high appreciation of the
benefits conferred by the officials,
which it is believed will be mutually
advantageous.
The Village Improvement Associa-
ton, the second one now organized in
the State Chat of Falls Church being
the first one), held its fourth annual
election of officers on the 30th, which
resulted as follows: Capt. w. q. Pen
nywitt, president; M. G. Mitchell, vice
president; James l.. Schaaff, secretary;
II. B. Hedrick, treasurer, and VIM. M.
King, Gen. S. S. Burdett and DR.. VIM.

tive committee. A resolution was pre-.
sented and adopted creating commit
