The telegruphlo announcement that nfler protracted Incubation tho Dem ocratic Legislature of Missouri has finally agreed upon ft bill of appor tionment which will give its party fourteen out of tho fifteen members of Congress in a stato which casts 230, 000 Republican votes ns against 201, 000 Democratic votes, in connection With similar partisan work going on felsewliore, is directing public atten tion with renewed interest to tho modern and dangerous art of political gerrymandering. It Is the trick by which minorities nd not majorities aro enabled to rule. And on tho other hand it is tho adroit and efficacious means by which the' Tolce of minorities is in most cases nllrely suppressed. Naturally enough it originated in the fertile brain of ft Jeffersonlan Democrat, Mr. Elbrldge Qerry, Massachusetts, from which it takes Its name, nearly eighty years ago. If the defunct Massachusetts statesman could see how his sharp scheme had been developed and utilized by dishonest successors in all quarters of the country, ho would turn over in his grave for very won der. There was a good deal of talk in the latter part of November, 1890, of how the big Democratio majority would sit on Czar Reed when they get him back on the floor in the minority. There has not as yet been nny Demo crat developed who cared to sit on a volcano of this kind. When It comes to passing pension bills, the militia will have to be called out to get together a quorum of this Democratio House, In the three vening sessions that have been thus far held to consider pension bills not a tingle ono has been passed.

RESOURCES OF BEDS COMPARED History of tho Production of Anthracite Coal How the Fuel Is Produced. AVIicn It Was First Put to Use And Other Historical fuels. N a recent Issue of tho Forum was published an oxcollont paper on tho supply and dis tribution of Anthra cito coal. The paper is from tho pen of JoEeph S. Harris, president of tho Lehigh OjhI and Nnviga tion Company, and has attracted wide. prcsd attontion. Tbo Hkhald roadcrs will read it with Interest. Tbo subject has beon so fully considered tbo paper cannot bo published in Its entirety. The greatest known deposit of anthracite coal is that of eailern Pennsylvania, in which locality it occurs ovor a region con tnining about 1.7(0 iquaro niilos, though the area which is actually underlaid with workablo beds does not exceed 483 equaro niilos. Its chief geological divisions are known as the Wyoming, the Lehigh and the Schuylkill regions, and the coals those districts produce are similarly designated They dlff r somewhat in their chemical and mochanlcal peculiarities, though in many instancos thoir chief distinction is that they reach thoir market by certain transportation routes, for it has often occurred that the coal produend at a certain colliery was classed as Lehigh coal if it were carried over either or the Lebigb roads, and was called Schuylkill coal a carried oyer tho Beading It. U. It may, howevor, bo said that in general in tho Wyoming region tho coal beds aro moro nearly horizontal, aro geologically loss disturbed, and, the gaseous ingredients not having beon so thoroughly driven off, the coals are more free-burning than those of tho otbor district. The latter charac terislic makes their smaller coals, which are used largely for tho production of stoam, more desirable than the same sizes of the harder coals, as tbey are moro easily ignited and moro quickly responsive to in croased draft when the fire burns low and needs to bo quickened to greater activity, Tho process of coal formation seems also to havo gone on in this region with less in terruption irom the intercalation of beds of other material forming hlalos, so that th coal is much more rapidly prepared far market, und to that extent is moro cheaply produced than lhat of the other regions ThoLohig)i rogion is characterized by coals of denser structure with little volatil matter so that they do not readily Ignito They last well in tbo lire, and are therefore specially in demand for metallurgical pur poses rr quiring a high and continuous heat but tbo small Coals aro dlfllcult to burn steadily, and respond slowly to forcod draft, so that while they produce groat heat, they are not favorites with firemen,, being troublesome in comparison with Wyoming coals. During the period of coal formation th Schuylki)! region was subjoct to interrup tions of tho plant growth, and to the deposit of strata of slate and other im puritioa bttween tho beds of coal. Where those are intercalated and icterstratified with tho subdivisions of tho coal beds and cannot be soparat d from tho coal bofore they are taken from tho mine, it follows that much refuse must be bottled to the surfaco, and afterward laboriously picked out from the coal, which processes con siderably increaso tbo cost of producing coal in this region. Thedividirig lino between the Lohlgb and the Scbuykill regions bat beon vr iously drawn, and the estimates of tho areas of the two regions are therefore sqmowbat discrepant. Thero are also dif fering estimates of tho avorage aggregate thickness of the coal beds in the three regions, but ono of the most caroful esti mates is as follows ; Per cent of total Square miles, tonnago of Pa. anthracite. Wyoming region 191 ' SI Lehigh region 51 8 Schuylkill region 238 W The same estimate gave as the total origl nal contents of theso anthracite beds, based upon the above estimated areas and the ostimated average thickness of tbo coal beds, 14,45,897,000 cubio yards of coal, or the si mo number of tons, if as is frequently -lone, the cubia yard and the ton of 2,210 lounds aro astumed to bo equivalent quan tities, Pennsylvania anthracito was first put to oractloal use in tho yoar 17C8 in a black tinith forge by two brothers named Qoru. The first sblpmontto a distant market was made In the flatboats which in 1775 were sent down tho Suiquohanna river with coal for the government armory at O.rljsle; but no organized effort was made to mine it till 1703, when tho Lahlgh Goal Mine Com piny was formed to work tho deposit at Summit Hill, uear Mauch Chunk, The ontorpriso developed slowly, and It was not till 1803 that the company s'arted Bix tlatboal., or river nrk, containing uich ten tons of coal, djwn the L'thigh river. Of theso only two reachnd Philadelphia, and, as no one knew how to burn the coal, this special coal being tho hardest of all iho an thracites, tho venture rosu'ted in failure; and it was not till 1820 that tho shipment irora tnu same minoi at w tons rnarkoa tho real beginning of the trade, which hu nco grown steadily, currying the pro duction of this fuel up to 100,000. tons in 1829, to 1,000 000 tons 1812, to 10,000.000 tons In 1801, and to 40,000,000 tons in 1891. THE FUGITIVES CAPTURED. m nldiimii and King AVer Arrested lu Town Lust Nlglit. Mtx Goldman and L. King, tho two local merchants who skippod to Now Ycrk latt week tfier their conviction in .tho Pottsville court on a chargo of defrauding thoir creditor?, wore arrested in town last night by C nslable Iioland. Tho ruse by which the two men were brought within tho jurisdiction of the court and placod in custody was a clever ono. When G'ddman and King skipped out they forfeited tho bond furnished for thorn by I Bobbins, at Pottsville. While the men were away somo of their frieuds hero made efforts to securo bail for them so they could return and apply for a new trial. It is understood that Mr. Bobbin?, in con sideration of a bonus of $200, and with a viow to getting tho men again within tbo jurisdiction of the court and thus relievo himselt of tho forfeiture of tho first bonds, consented to furnish new bonds. Gold man and King were then notified that ball had been secured and all that was neces sary to put things right was their return hero to attach their signatures to the bonds. Tho two men left New York yesterdny and airiyed hero last night. Upon their arrival being made certain Mr, Bobbins withdrew the bail and surrendered the men to tho jurisdiction of the court. n.ns stable Boland found Goldman and King enjoying themselves at u game of cards and placed them under arrest. Tho sudden turn of bffairs was an astpunding surprise to tho men and moro dejected individuals never walked into the lockup. The arrest was made alter 11 o'clock and Boland thought it would bo safer to keep the prisoners in the lockup until thoy could be taken to Pottsville. They remained in a coll until this morning, when Chief Bargess Smith tried to raise their spirits with some coffee. The beverage was relisbod, but the spirits of the men remained below zero. Thoy fully understood that thoy bad been trapped. Ono of them said, "I thought it was queer that we should bo compelled to como on bore; and sign tbo bonds. 1 thought that could have been done just as woll while wo were away." Goldman seemed broken hearted when ho boarded tbo train for Pottsvillo this morning. King protonded to bdlionlldent and indifferent. "Aro jou going away again, gentle men 1" asked a Ukuald reporter. ''Iam going to Pottsvillo on a li.tl business," said Goldman. "Aro.you coming back?" "I don't think I will," said Ring. "J will go to ,1'otlsville and entor bail for a now trial and then I will go to New York." Tbo prospects this morning were that neither Goldman or King would be able to roturn to town or go to Now York for a wbile. It was geni rally believed that the men could not arrange for bail and even if thoy could socure it the court might hesl. tto to accept, in view of tho previous for feiture and disappearance. Should the court tako this stand tho men will be obliged to remain in the Pottsvillo jail un til, at least, the Hay term of criminal court, Kcmovul. J.
