EHYHUsED ABOUT COAL LANDS
u ~. w. Baker Likes the coni-
v...,.r scheme-Mr. Tingie Gets
Anue., - services To-day and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Charles n Van Houten, the pastor wa
,ar,a,n In this community. This Is. indeed
an unfortunate circumstance. MI. var
Housen Is devoted 10 his people. and mas
done a good work in this field, and his
church is equally attached to him. There
is not the slightest Jar to disturb the
close relations of pastor and people. The
elders OF the church will hold n meeting
to-day and decide what can be done &c
keep Mr.. Van Houten. Not only Is TINS
gentleman held I'm high esteem by MS
Immediate church, but by ministers OF
other denominations and people OF every
walk In life IN Manchester. He has been
pastor about eight years, coming 70 Man
chester from Kentucky.
HON. w. w. BAKER ENTHUSED.
Hon. w. w. Baker, OF Chesterfield coun-
Nv. was in tho city yesterday, and seemed
greatly enthused over the prospect OF
Chesterfeld's coal-lands being worked 10
the fullest extent Of their capacity 10
WELD. There are a number of capitalists
from Pennsylvania who are interested
in the matter. and If they are treated wen
and met in the spirit in which they come
10 the county. and II they can find coal
in paying quantities, they will invest their
money in Chesterfield. These gentlemen
have unlimited capital, and are not afraid
TO use It.
Mr.. II. X. Myers, mining engineer
has been through certain sections Of the
county. He says there is plenty OF coal
in Chesterfield, but it is very deep in the
bowels of the earth, but with the modern,
improved machinery he is satisfied that
it can be gotten out Of the mines at
croft. He was sent down by the Penn
sylvania gentlemen
III these parties go into coal-mining In
Chesterfield it is probable they will organ
ize a barge company, and will run their
boats from some point on the James river
TO New York and Philadelphia.
