Pen-Mar is to have another electric at
traction. An electric fountain is to be
constructed for the delectation of the
many visitors there. 1t will be located
close to the flag pole, near the observa-
tory. General Passenger Agent F. M.
Howell of the w. NJ. r. r. was at the
park day or two ago and decided upon
this addition. He announced that he
would have the fountain built in short
time. The fountain will be large and
have number of electric lamps by which
the water will be illuminated in variety
of colors. 1t is expected to prove one Of
the most attractive features of the park.
More Coal Discovered.
Mr.. William Sellers, while cleaning out
we'll on his premises Wednesday last,
unearthed quantity of coal which, to
the laymen, at least, seems to be of very
good quality. 1t will be remembered that
several years ago coal was discovered on
the property of Mr.. Beam, near town,
and also on the farm of Mr.. John d. Sc
bold. AS these properties are on e direct
line with one another and as the distance
from the Beam place across country to
the Sebold farm is half mile, this coal
vein, if continuous, is quite extensive.
Specimens of coal from each place re-
fcrred to have been tested for burning
qualities and have proved satisfactory;
but as to whether the quantity available
and the quality of the commodity would
justify working this vein, are matters for
future determination.
Specimens from each locality will be
sent to experts for analysis and the re-
suit will be anxiously awaited - Chronicle.
