News from the Soudan that the Eng
lish army has practically wiped out
the army of the Khalifa, leaving the
commander-in- chief and all his Emirs
dead on the field with the exception of
Osman Digna, who escaped, empha-
sizes the apparent fact that the latter
sly old general bears charmed life.
Through all the plots of the Khalifa's
government Osman Digna has passed
in safety. In actual warfare he has
had the same luck. In 1898, when Gen
eral Kitchener with $4,000 men met
and defeated the dervishes at Atbara,
the official report says that most of the
dervish leaders were killed or captured,
Osman Digna, however, managing to
make his escape. A little later, when
the Sirdar inflicted a crushing defeat
on the Khalifa at Omdurman, it is re-
corded that Osman Digna "fed rapidly,
with the English cavalry in hot pur-
suit" On this occasion, as on every
other, Osman Digna escaped into the
desert Now that the Khalifa has
been killed it is expected that Osman
Digna will succeed to the chied COM
mand, in which case his previous i'm
munity from capture will probably
arouse the fanatical enthusiasm of the
remnant of the dervishes.

a contractor. He was also a brother of
the late Bishop McGovern, of Harris
burg.
The family came to this country in
1898, settling al Wilmington, Del, hut
nine years later they moved to To-
wanda, this state. For the next six
years Mr. McGovern worked on farm
and then secured contracts for sections
of work on the Pennsylvania railroad
at Lewistown and Huntingdon. In 1850
and 1851 he assisted in the building of
the north branch Of the old Susque-
hanna canal, and in 1852 and SO the
state road in Cambria county He was
next occupied on the North Penn road
from Philadelphia to Bethlehem.
In partnership with John Reilly he
built the Stroudsburg turnpike and a
section of the New Holland and Down
ington branch of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. At New Castle. Pa, he built a
railroad in 1850, and from 1862 to 1870

and Navigation company at Wilkes
Barre, A section of the PHILADELPHIA,

Anthracite in Other Places.

The formation of the Tidewater An
thracitc Coal Company to operate an
thracite mines in West Virginia strikes
Pennsylvania as peculiar. They have
always regarded anthracite as II pro-
duct peculiar to the Keystone state and
aside from q limited amount Of hard
coal found in Colorado, which some ex-
perts do not consider to he anthracite,
the anthracite field has been regarded
as being confined to Pennsylvania.
Lawrence LeverinF claims to have

acres upon which he says there is in

all the demand in the South for many
years to come. The tract is in Berkley
