A Historical Coin.

During the autumn of 1896 the fol-
lowing item appeared in the JOURNAL ::
A coin of great rarity, which is worth
several thousand times its face value, is in the
possession of Harry O'Grady, a conductor in
the employ of the Reading railroad 1t is a
copper penny of 1888, which bears upon its
diverse side bust of Washington and the
inscription, Washington and Independ-
enCe." The coin was given to Mr.. O'Grady
by his father, who priced it very highly, hav
ing on one occasion refused $3.50 for it.
Several years ago a similar coin was given by
George Simpson of New York to President
Harrison upon the occasion of the latter's
visit to New York city during the celebra-
ton of the centennial of Washington's in
auguration. Mr.. Simpson presented another
of the coins, for which he had paid $3.50 to
the Bartholdi statute fund, ito be placed I'M
der the statute of Liberty in New York har-
Dor. Philadelphia record.
Councilman b. T. Schofeld, of this
place, recognized in the item COM
plete description of coin he has and
the other day showed it to the JOUR
NAL.
In 1852 Mr.. Schofield's father, AL
fred, came to this country from Eng
land, settled in Baltimore, and IN 1855
returned to England. During his
three years residence there, however,
a friend, Jonathan Mallalieu, gave
him coin whose description, as be-
fore stated, answers exactly to that of
the Record paragraph. Mr.. Schofeld
then gave the coin to his son, the pres
ent owner, who brought it back to
this country in 1864, the year he i'm
migrated. 1t has been in the Scho-
field family, therefore, for at least II
years 1t was y years old when given
to Mr.. Schofield's father, and as it has
made round trip across the Atlantic,
it is much-traveled as well as veteran
memorial of Americas heroic age.
On all accounts, therefore, Mr.. Scho-
field prizes it very highly.

JOURNAL would propose its purchase

Tale of Two Cities.

Bad as Is the water supply of Cumberland
it will do for sprinkling streets and thus help
to overcome the unpleasantness of the dust
and there is plenty of it. In this the city is
more fortunate than the town of Frostburg,
which, during the present drought, is praCti-
cally without water supply at all.-Cumber-
land independent.
This is not true.
"The town of Frostburg," "practi-
cally" has water supply which, so
far, has been large enough to meet all
necessitous wants. There is no water
to waste, but enough for economical
use.
What has become of editor Oders ample
water supply argument thrashed over several
times in an attempt to persuade people in
other sections of the county that Frostburg
was the place for a courthouse, normal
school, etc, etc.
The JOURNAL never made speciality
of the towns water supply as such an
argument.
1t did assure the people of the coun-
ty that if the courthouse was placed
here the town of Frostburg would not
let it burn down
AS to the Normal School-the town
has lots of water during all of the
scholastic period. 1t is the dog-day
term which tries its capacity.
But FrOStburp is doing lepitimatelv
what Cumberland has not done and is
not doing 1T has bought oOhat acater ii has
and is spending money to get more

salary equal to that paid the state auditor.
 This bill which was denounced two years ago as iniquitous, has so commended itself to the people of the state and their repre-
 sentatives by paying into the state treas ury nearly $200,000 and half as much more into the county treasuries and by the firm
 and conservative execution, has merited
 the full approval it has received. Governor Johnston, Senator Meador, Judge Mitchell. Judge Wood and others who favor this law and who have been prominently connected with the enactment and execution of the bill are receiving congratulations upon its endorsement.
 But the state, which has been the chief beneficiary is most of all to be congratu- lated. While adjoining states are suffering from want of money to pay their debts, there is little if any deficit in the treasury
 of Alabama. All of its obligations are now promptly paid.
 The Closing Days The days of the present general assembly of Alabama are but few. The session will be adjourned Thursday evening by resolu- tion adopted this morning.
 There are but two more working days, but a recess will be taken on Wednesday to al- low the clerks to catch up with their work. No more bills can be introduced, and there are put lew DlllS or importance yet 10 De considered by the house. The senate has yet to dispose of the revenue bill, the ap- propriations and the Bulger school bill. There have been introduced in the house 1,487 bills, and a large majority of these have been passed. No more house bills can be passed after today. The house will de- vote its last days to the passage of senate bills, and the senate to the passage of house bills. In the senate 532 bills have
 been introduced. Altogether this has been
 the hardest working general assembly that has served in many years.
 The School Tax Bill The Bulger bill levying special school tax of one mill is on the adverse calendar
 of the senate as a special order for tomor- row morning.
 When the bill reached the senate 1t was referred to the committee on finance and taxation by rquest of Chairman Meador. This morning 1t was reported adversely, but Senator Brown asked that it be placed on the calendar. Had 1t gone to the committee on education it would have been given a | favorable report. There is some doubt as to the fate of the bill in the senate. It's | friends are hard at work, and announce that they now have majority of the I members pledged to its support. Superintendent of Education Abercrombie | has been in the senate lobby all day work | ing in behalf of the bill He believes that | the bill will pass. It will not get through without struggle, however. State Bank Examiner | The house refused by large majority vote to reconsider the vote by which the | bill providing for the appointment of a l state bank examiner was passed on Sat- | urday. The bill provides that all private l banks shall be examined at least once each l year-or upon request of the governor. 1 The bill has gone to the senate, where 1t | will probably pass on Thursday. | G--S~- l Edwin Meador, son of Senator D.

 The dispatches leave little doubt about authority being given President Mckinley to appoint General Wheeler a major-gen- eral in the regular army. The public gen. orally expects to hear of the appointment before the end of the present session of congress.
 When General Wheeler is appointed an election will be called to fill the vacancy created by hisiretirement and then the fun will. begin.5 Infact, it has begun already. The Florence papers have announced Hon. Paul Hodges, and it is generally understood that Hon. Samuel Blackwell, too, will enter the race for-the. nomination. It is by no means improbable that other prominent political figures will be found on the can vass before another fortnight.
 Madison county has not representative in congress in eighteen long years, and her time has come. If any other county replies that it has never had member, or that it has waited a longer time than eighteen years, Madison will reply that the fault was not her own.
 Seriously. a little political exercise will not be harmful to those who hope for fa- yors hereafter. Of course, Judge William Richardson will be nominated and elected, regardless of the number of candidates op- posing him. but no objection should be urged against the entrance of clever men like those above mentioned.

DEATH OF G. w. KENNAMORE.
Succumbed to Heart Failure at Besse
 mer Yesterday.

Bessemer, February 20.-(Special.)-G. w, Kennamore died last night at about S:2O o'clock, after brief illness. MT. Ken namore, who was a carpenter by trade, was a well-known figure about town. The death of his wife, his son, Robert Kenna- more, his little grandchild, who was scalded to death not long ago, and his own death have followed each other in rapid succession in the space of a few months. He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. Adam Kyle, his only child whose husband is in the Klondike.
 Mr. Kennamore's death was unexpected. being one of heart failure. He was sixty six years old. and was born near Hunts vile.
 The funeral took place this afternoon, the services being conducted by the Rev. W. c. Ivey.
 The citizens of Bessemer are gratified at the paassage of the bill authorizing the ex- penditure of a certain part of the general fund of the county in the strengthening and cleansing of the channel of Valley creek, which flows near Bessemer. This creek is in an exceedingly filthy aned un- halthy condition, and the good work cannot
