HITS WEST VIRGINIA COAL

hllo Wa WAL
A number OF the leading coal opera
tors OF the New River aud Pocahontas
fields met in Washington city last
week to present to the President and
Congress some facts connected with the
coal business and learn if something
cannot be done to relieve a threatened
disastrous condition.
They have been Informed that the
Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and
Western Railroads have decided upon
an advance of the freight rates from
their mines to tidewater from 81 30 a
ton, as now, to 81 50. This, they de.
clare, means ruin to the coal interests
of the two fields, as they claim to be
operating now without profit. At the
same time they learn that the rates
from the Pennsylvania fields to New
England markets are to be reduced,
thus cutting the West Virginians out
of their best market. Coal for the past
year has been bringing to them at tide
water so to 80 cents above the freight
rates and agents commissions of 10
cents a ton. Take away % cents more,
which the proposed increase in rates
would do, and there is left but 30 to IS
cents ton, which will not pay cost of
production at present wage scales.
1t is said the increase in rates has
been agreed upon to 90 into effect April
/ and will be published in few days.

Some long beleaguered portal broken

When no defender walks the silent town;
Some home-bound sailor drowning in the

Where CLEANS the window of his cottage

The dead that all his days he ne'er caress-

Sordelles too belated victory;
The stricken Nelson, master of the Sea;

TO DEVELOP STONE LAND.

The sale of a fine body of limestone
land in the vicinity of Millville at a
good price indicates the trend of de-
yelopment in the quarry Industry in
this county.
Mr.. Charles Becker, the Baltimorean
who several years ago bought large
body of land east of the river in that
section of the county, has sold I'll acres
of it, together with small tract of
four acres on the west side of the riv-
er near MillviIle Station, to H. j. Fin
ley, of Washington, the consideration
being $50, 900 The land lying east of
the river was purchased by Mr.. Becker
from the estate of the late William
Lucas at $40 an acre, in 1883. 1t is
said that Mr.. Finley represents a syn
dicate which intends to open extensive
uuarries on the land. The tract thus
transferred is rich in dOlomite and
limestone deposits.

Birth-marks which mark and mar the out

Birth-marks which mark and mar the out
side of the body are a grief to every mother
whose children may hear them. But for
every child who bears birth-mark on the
skin there are many who bear an indelible
birth-mark on the mind. Nervous mothers
have nervous children and many man and
woman owes an irritable and Respondent
temperament to those days of dread when
the mother waited the hour of her maternity.
The use of DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription
strengthens the mother for her trial. With
strength comes a buoyancy of spirits and
quietness of mind, which is one of the hap
piest gifts a mother can bestow on her Off
spring. By giving vigor and elasticity to the
delicate womanly organs "Favorite Pres
cription" practically does away with the
pain Of maternity and makes the baby's ad-
vent as natural and as simple as the BIOS
soming Of q flower. There is no opium, CO
caine or other narcotic contained IN Cav

that Il of them will be furnished by

25 by New York company: The
other SO will be built in Scotland. The
locomotives will be of a composite
type, which will give fair amount of
