DEMOCRATIC TRICKERY.
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. Buck

AVIicn It Was First Put to Use
And Other Historical fuels.
N a recent Issue of tho

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 ;

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,
