FIRST USERS OF ANTHRACITE.
An Experiment Made in a Penn
sylvania Blacksmith Shop.

Obadiah Gore and his brother. Daniel, dis
covered that anthracite coal would burn;
consequently. they made known its value.
Obadiah served In the army OF Washington
from the beginning Of the Revolutionary
War, and lived after the war in Sheshe-
quin, Bradford County, Pa, where he was
Judge of the local court fer some years.
Daniel Gore had a farm and dwelling
three miles north Of wnkesbarre. On a
farm adjoining his to the north was q bed
OF rock, which came to the surface. A
question arose as to whether 1t was a form
of coal. 1t was tried in f1replaces on wood
fires and failed to be Of use. Daniel Gore
experimented with It In his blacksmith
forge and established the possibility Of Its
combustibility.
1t should be remembered that black
smithing was an important industry in the
early days Of the settlement of this coun-
try. The local blacksmith Of the wyoming
Valley was no exception to the rule. Inn
PIGMENTS Of farming. also fixtures of houses,
such as hinges. door handles and latches,
nails. ETC.. together with kitchen utensils,
as were in use, were made in the blacksmith
shop.
The Gore family in question. when the
American colonies revolted against the tyr
amy Of England. proved themselves stur-
dy patriots and defenders Of their coun-
try's cause. The family was highly con-
nected, one of the uncles. Christopher
Gore. having been Governor of Massa-
chusetts. One daughter. Sally Gore. was In
Forty Fort for protection on July 3, 17S,
at the time of the Wyoming massacre, and
was 70 years old at the time. There II no
likeness In existence Of Daniel Gore, for
he left none.

day. 4{4p
An incompetent pilot attempted to pass
on the wrong side of the Merrimac and
struck the hidden reef hard. Three power
full tugs pulled unsuccessfully all the after
noon In the attempt to float the big ship.
At. low tide her bow was two feet out of
the water. Another attempt will be made to
float her at high tide tonight. Probably.
however. 1t will be necessary to rig elab-
crate tackle before she can be f1oated. As
she lies in a protected place, she Is in no
danger. and the likelihood Is that she Is not
injured. but all the present indications point
to considerable delay in getting her on.
