Information from La Barranca con-
 veys the pleasing intelligence that the vigorous prosecution of development of the coal measures, under the able direction of Prof. E. T. Dumble, con- tinues with unabated satisfaction to all concerned. The coal beds are found to continue as the w.rk extends. and the measures bid fair to develop into a deposit which will yield an annual output of many millions of tons through long period of years It is further credibly reported that the locomotive test with one ton of the Barranca coal sent to Sacramento, Calf )rnia, about month ago, has proved emnentlY satisfactory. It burned we'll, aud steamed freely aud easily. Construction of a railroad to the coal fields seems now assured, and the inauguration of an immense coal traffic will surely follow.

~ N April Ia just thirty-three years
II u will have passed since President
" Lincoln was shot down in Ford
Thenter, Washington, by John Wilkes
Booth. The excitement all over the Unit
ed States today caused by the war scare.
brings to mind the thrill OF horror and
excitement that passed over the country
thirty-three years ago, when, just as the
minds OF the people had become settled
after four years of war, the country was
startled by the announcement OF Lin
coins assassination.
Announcements bad been made In
Washington pa pers that President Lin
coin and Gen. Grant, accompanied 10y
their wives, puld visit tord's Theater
NOW q pension office) on the evening OF
April IL.
Gen. Grant found II necessary TO visit
Burlington, N j.. on that memorable
l4th Of April, and he accordingly sent to
President Line pin q note Of regret at his
inability to accompany him to the the
alter that evening, leaving Washington on
the 9 p. m. train.
To Schuyler Colfax, then Speaker of
the House, the President extended an in
yitation to attend the theater as late as
S:l5 D. M, for 1t was not until then that
the President party left the White
House. President Lincoln manifested
curious reluctance to going, but stated
that the paper had advertised that him
self and Gen. Grant would both attend,
aud, since Gen. Grant had LEFT Washing
ton. he did not want 10 have the audience
disappointed. as the people would expect
to see at least one of them.
The theater was crowded. The box
reserved for the presidential party was
the double box forming the second tier on
the right -hand side of the stage. The
front OF the box was decorated with flags
aud in the center, on the outside. hung
an engraving Of Washington.
As the Grants had declined an invita-
ton to attend, Mrs. Lincoln invited, in
their stead, Miss Harris, daughter of SEN
ator Ira Harris. and Maj. Henry K.
Rathbone, the Senator's stepson.
The play presented was the original
version OF Tom Taylor's Our American
Cousin, as ~ was always given before
the late u. A. Sothern's changes in it,
afterwards N ade to elaborate his still
remembered character Of Lord Dun
dreary.
The assassin. Booth. familiar with the
theater. visited the box about 8 D. M.
looking In for last survey Of the yarious
positions OF its occupants. II was sup

In the same region OF Pennsylvania,
few miles from Reading, is the ancient
home of the forefathers Of President Lin

Lincoln 100 years ago and is still well
preserved. Not far distant Is the house

ont the n0uR The audience listened to
the dialogue between Florence Trenchard
and May Meredith. when the pistol shot
rang through the theater. 1t was appar-
entity fired behind the scenes on the right
OF the stage, and it was accepted by the
audience as an introduction to some new
passage. several Of which had been in
terpolated in the early part OF the play.
Booth had been noted as q !eapcr, hav-
Ing become habituatcd to sensational
leaps in his repertoire of characters. He
leaped nine feet down on the stage, but
his spur caught in the flag decorating the
front Of the presidential box and as he
reached the stage he fell. recovering him
self in u wonderful way, though his leg
was broken. He bounded across the
stage, pushing past Miss Laura Keene,
who stood near the prompter's desk,
