that the negro Jim Brown, an effort tc
lynch whom was made at Asheville
Ala, Thursday night, was captured In

transmission to North Carolina, Brown
attempted to commit suicide, having
obtained possession in some way of a
small piece of window glass and used
it to make an attempt on his life. He
cut his throat in a shocking manner

PUBLIC DEBTS.

A statement issued by the treasury bureau of statistics covers the public indebtedness of civilized nations and gives basis for interesting compar- isons. says the St. Louis Globe-Dem- ocrat In 1793 the public debts of the world amounted to less than $2.. 50o000,00 They are now nearly $30 000. .00o 900. Payment at any one time would, of course, be impossible. for all the money in existence would not meet more than a third of the na- tional obligations. Yet borrowing money is easier to every leading na- tion than it was a century ago and at a lower rate of interest England s recent loan of $500, ,OOO0 900 at less than , per cent was OyerSubScribed several times in the course of few days. In fact. in every country of recognized standing there is rush for it's bonds as soon as offered, and, on the average. at the lowest rates of interest eyer known.

Discovered Coal In Pennsylvania.

A number of prominent coal men of Pennsylvania have decided to erect 8 monument of coal to Philip Ginter, the discoverer of that fuel, at Summit Hill, near Malrch Chunk. One hundred and nine years ago Ginter lived in a rough cabin in the forests on the Maueh Chunk Mountain. While in quest of game for his family, whom he had left at home without food of any kind, his foot satr,lck a black stone By the roadside, not far from the Town of Summit Hill. he built fire of wood and threw pieces of the supposed stone about it. so that the embers might last longer while he was roasting a fowl. He was surprised, after little while, to see the stones glow and re- tain their heat for long time. He ear- ried a lot of the coal home and burn ed it there. The few aeighbors soon learned of the discovery, but there was no mining to any extent in Carbon county unti! after the war of 1872 had begun.
