COAL AND MARL.
According to the Geological Reports
GratiOt County is Included In Coal
Country,

State Geologist Alfred O. Lane, has
filed his annual report with the govern
or. Amongst the other interesting IN
formation presented, it shows that
many valuable discoveries have been
made in mari and coal fields
1t shows that during last summer
Prof. O. A. Davis finished work In Tus-
cola county, Dr. Lane worked in Sagi-
nav, Prof. Scherzer in Monroe county,
ID. j. Hale was employed in writing up
the cement materials, Prof. Reis OF Cor
nell university looked into the clay and
shale deposits of the state and tests OF
clays, mari and waters were made.
In Saginaw county DR. Lane found
the approximate mapping of deep
channel which passes west of Saginaw
towards Alma and cuts out the coal
the recognition OF three important coal
seams, the lower non-coking but low IN
sulphur and ash and of heating quality
equal to the Hooking Valley.
III regard to the cement material the
wide and abundant occurrence of mari
material has been demonstrated. The
rarer material is suitable clay or shale
to mix with it. None of the surface OF
glacial clays have proved very suitable
and shale or clay derived by decomposi'
ton therefrom seem to be the best adapt
ed This, however, exists in large quaint
ties, in the Coldwater shales, which occur
at both ends of the state and probably also
in other horizons. DR.. Refs thinks there
is bright prospects for clay and shale IN
dustres in the northern part of the low
er peninsula.
During the coming year DR.. Lane ex'
poets that the reports for Huron, ,Sanila(
and Monroe counties will be published
and possibly those of Saginaw and Tus
cola counties. The work will be pushed
into Bay county, where there are yer!
important coal developments, and int
Gratiot county, where Prof. Davis ha
already accumulated facts.

From the 81 Johns News:l
Ninety five members voted at the
annual meeting Of the Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance Company, Of Clinton
county which was held at Fireman's hall
Tuesday afternoon. The three directors
whose terms of Office expired we're re-
elected. They were J j Keiser Of Green

ninety five votes cast and the elections
was almost unanimous in each instance
with but few scattering ballots.
The amendment to the constitution
providing that losses on live stock should
be paid if the animals were anywhere In
Clinton or Gratiot counties instead OF

eight dissenting votes. There was quite
little discussion and several expressed
themselves as opposed to the change,
but the ballot stood eighty-seven in favor
to eight against. AS matter of fact.
the proposition was carried at the meet.
ing last year, but the states attorney
general required that more lengthy
notice of the proposed change be given
the stockholders, so the matter was de-
layed until this year.
The secretary's report shows the COM
pany TO be in most excellent condition.
There are l60 more members than were
on the books last year and the amount
insured is over $3.50, 900 in excess of the
amount OF risks at this time last year.
The total number of members now is
4,6l7 and the amount Of insurance in
force figures to 1854, ,2l5.
The payment of assessments have
been promptly looked after by the secre'
tary this year and out of the sl6,66S
assessed there was but 1885 unpaid on
January first. The losses were all paic
September first at the time the assess
ments were levied and all the expenses
of the company were liquidated at the
first of the year, yet there was over sS0C

Robert j. Campbell of New York had
an odd and even awkward experience
one day which illustrates forcibly
peculiar phase in the practice Of law
in the metropolis. Returning home
late at night, he was attacked and Sc
verely beaten by a drunken stranger
To allay the apprehension Of his fam
lily Mr. Campbell explained that he
had been struck by street car. He
was put to bed and maid sent out
for liniment and bandages. She re-
turned with a strange doctor, who
proceeded at once to make a minute
examination
The examination disclosed that the
patient was suffering countless injuries,
most of them incurable, to his spine,
knees, thighs, shoulders and arms. Mr..
Campbell, who knew how little he was
hurt, was even alarmed by the result,
and his family were thrown into al
most senseless fear The following day
the doctor returned and announced that
he was not physician at all, but an

sues corporations for damages result.

brought with him several alleged wit

to the dog tax. He says his dog watches
faithfully around the sanctuary, and
therefore is church property, exempt by

An old time Arizona woodchopper

Arizona. He says these birds have a
habit of burying small seed in the
ground with their beaks and that they
frequent pinyon trees and bury large
numbers of the small pine nuts in the
ground, many Of which sprout and
grow. He was walking through the
pines with an eastern gentleman short
time ago when one Of these birds flew

BISHOP HEALY DEAD.

Portland, Me-, Aug. 7.-On Saturday
Bishop Healy complained Of Indigestion
and suffered for about two hours, finally
getting relief through the attendance OF
doctors. He slept well during the night
and tried to get up Sunday morning to
say mass, but was unable to do so. The
depression returned, from which he was
temporarily relieved, but at u o'clock
he began to grow weaker, so much so
that at 1890 he called for Father
O'Brien, who administered the last
sacraments. Bishop Healy continued in
good spirits and was conscious to I
o'clock Sunday afternoon, when he died.
Right Rev. James Augustine Healy
Roman Catholic bishop of Maine was
born at Macon, Ga, Aug. 6, 1890 Ir
early life he studied civil engineering.
He was led to turn his attention to the
church, and in 1914 entered Holy Cross
college at Worcester, Mass, graduating
in 1S49 at the head Of his class. His de-
gree was taken under the Georgetown
charter. He STUDIED theology at the
Grand seminary at Montreal for three
years and then went to Paris and con-
tinued his studies. June 10, 1854, he was
ordained a priest in the Cathedral of
Notre Dame. Prior to his ordination he
had been designated by Bishop F'itz-
patrick of Boston as his secretary, and
he assumed the duties of that office as
soon as he returned to America.
Bishop Bacon, the first bishop of
Maine, died in 1874, and Bishop Healy
was selected as his successor Feb. 10,
1875. He was consecrated June 2, 1875.
The 25th anniversary Of this consecra-
ton was observed here on June 5, 1900,
and was made an occasion Of rejoicing
by the Catholics in Maine.

EAST BARNET.
Drowning Accident.

One of the saddest accidents that has
happened here for long time was the
drowning of Alexander McGill last week
Monday. About half past three he was
missed, but no great alarm was felt, as
it was thought he was somewhere in the
place, until it was time for him to help
his father about the chores. When he
did not come to do his usual work they
knew something was the matter, as he
always was there to help. Parties went
at once to the pond and cove, where be
been to get pond lilies, thinking he might
have gone there, but did not find him.
When the news was heard that he
was gone Elmer Roy remembered that
in cleaning out the rack at the shop he
had taken out a boys cap. This he
found and brought to Mr. McGill who
recognized it as his sons. Then they
were sure he must be in the river. twas
crushing blow to the family to think
that he was drowned and the whole
place was greatly excited and ready to
do all they could to help in finding him.
Boats were sent for, grapples made, and
almost all night long the river was
searched. At daylight search was be-
gun again, but not till between nine and
ten did they succeed in finding him under
the railroad bridge. 1t is not known
how he happened to fall in, but is sup.
posed that he was walking on the guard
rail and made a misstep, falling through
or the express may have come up when
he was in the bridge, frightening him so
that he lost his balance and fell. The
blow is very severe one, and the hearts
of every one here 60 out with the deep
est sympathy for the bereaved family.
The funeral was held in the chapel
Thursday afternoon, Rev. ]. Boardman
and Rev. J. Service officiating. Ross
Farnsworth, Walter Doran, Walter Ken
dali and Sammie Richardson were the
bearers. He had been janitor at the
church, and in the Sunday school his
place was never vacant. Many beauti-
iul floral pieces were given by friends
and pond lilies, sweet peas and roses
were abundant.
Paulina Reaser of Burlington, Barbara
and Carrie L. Bonnette of Bradford,
Mass, and Mrs. Boylan and Jennie from
Laconia were called here last week by
the death of Alexander McGill.
Fred and Allie Gilflan from Burke are
visiting friends here.
