that in the manufacture OF the neces-
sary plate they desired to use the coal
of the Barclay people, but were unable
to gather together the necessary cash.
The Troy people proposed to Mr.. Mac
farlane that he accept for the coal the
notes of their company, payable six
months from date of issue. Macfar-
lane hesitated in accepting but agreed
to undertake the delivery OF the coal
if Mr.. Russell would discount the
notes. Being interested financially In
the company and anxious to promote
the affairs of the Barclay mines Mr..
Russell acquiesced in the proposal and
the coal was in due time delivered to
Corning, Winslow & Co., at Troy.
The coal was used in the manufac-
ture of the armor plate for the little
ironclad Monitor. designed by the I'M
mortal Ericsson, that subsequently
drove from the seas the confederate
monster, Merrimac, stemmed the tide
of southern naval victories and helped
in a marked degree to establish the

Between the years 1860 and 1865
Mr.. Russell was a resident of Toward,
Pa, engaged at the time in the bank

miles from his home town. The pro-

The Barclay company was then in
the hands of an assignee, James Mac

endeavored under adverse conditions
to keep the mines in operation. In the
fall of 1861 Macfarlane called upon Mr.
Russell and informed him that he had
received an offer for six canal boa

MAY GET ANOTHER PLACE.
Governor Burke May Get Another
Place in the Interior Department.

Washington, D. c., Nov 17.-Former
Governor Andrew H. Burke of North
Dakota, who was forced by Secretary
Hitchcock to resign his Office as in
spector in the surveyor generals Of
fee under the interior department,
will not make any attempt to secure
reinstatement to his old position.
Gov. Burke still feels that he was
unjustly treated and there was some
talk among his friends in the Minne-
sofa and North Dakota congress dele
cations of making it interesting" for
Secretary Hitchcock. 1t was proposed
to compel the secretary to make q
full statement in defense Of his action
in forcing the resignation and Of
bringing about an investigation, II
necessary, through the public lands
committee of the house.
Mr.. Burke has declined to discuss
the matter except to say that he
knows of no act or omission of his
which should u his retirement
from the service. The only statement
from the interior department was q
generality saying that Mr.. Burke wal
mot competent" Nevertheless he
served acceptably for several years.
The ex-govern0r's friends in con
gress are very bitter toward Secretar!
Hitchcock. It was learned today thai
an effort may be made to C u Mr.
Burke's appointment as special agen'
of the interior department. The sal
airy would be smaller. but such Al
appointment would be acceptable II

former in his home county when the

the mistake is not of much impor-
