Coal Fields of Russia.
We have heard a great deal of late
years about the exhaustioa of the supply
of coal in England, and consequently the
future dependence ot Europe upon the
United States for fuel. According to a
late writer in Lippinr-oti, Russia is much
more likely to be the source of future
supplies than our own country. Perhaps
tew realize the great extent of her coal
bearing region. The basin of the Don
contains beds of an extent equal to 10,000
square miles, with a cubic aggregate of
15,000,000 pood$ (each equal to 36
pounds), of the very finest Anthracite,
which, ia burning, leaves only two per
cent, of ashes. The Moscow basin has an
equal amount, but of poorer quality.
"Kiev," on the Upper Dnieper, has a mean
thickness of 21 feet of tolerable coal,
over an area of eighty miles. In Poland,
tne government fields alone contain 51G,-
000,000 poods. These, with the fields in
the Caucasus, the bitumen fields along
the bank of the Vistula, and tho exten
sive beds in Siberia and Central Asia,
make a dearth of fuel in Europe an im
possibility.
the great trouble in regard to an mis
coal is that at present it is, through lack
of transportation facilities, unavauaoie.
Tne expense ot taking it to a market in
large quantities would be exorbitant, but
since Russia is so thoroughly awake to
the necessity of railways, and is constant
ly lengthening those she has and con
structing new ones, it can only be a
question of a few years before she will
be able to supply all Europe with coai at
a reasonable price. "Eight railways now
permeate the Moscow basin ; three more
traverse the Kiev fields." The Volga di
rectly communicates with the capital;
two lines connect the Don with the trade
centres, and if, in the future, as now
seems probable, llussia should have an
extended sea coast accessible to ships, all
difficulties in a commercial way will have
disappeared.
A few Years ano and Russia herself
hardly knew her own riches in this di
rection. Everywhere wood was used for
all heating purposes, and such an enor
mous consumption must have inevitably
produced a wood famine at some time in
the future. Tho forests cover about 40.3
per cent, of the area of Russia proper, a
greater part of them being in Finland.
It seemed years ago as ii" they could
never be exhausted, but a reckless, prodi
gal use of their treasures has demonstrat
ed that such a thing is not only possible,
but probable, and well it is for Russia
that she possesses au apparently i::ex
haustiblo resource in her extensive coal
fields. Toledo Blade.
Kuliua: on lied Hot Rails.
A narrow escape from a most serious
accident occurred on the Dayton and Un
ion Road Monday morning. There is a
culvert on the road about four miles from
the city. It is about twelve feet in width,
and the embankment is some twelve or
fifteen feet in height. During Thursday
night the 'wood-work appears to have
caught fire, und at six o'clock the rest
morning the timbers and stringers sup
porting the rails were in full n-tme, and
at the west end entirely consumed.
The C a. xi. freight from Dayton was
the first to come to the culvert. The
morning was dark and foggy, and the
train was gliding along quite lively. 2so
indication of the danger was seen uutil
thev were close upon the culvert. The
engineer, Frauk Sutton, the tireinau,
rred. iitiseman, win Ji&zt cr eager, u
brakeman, were on the engine when Silt
ton saw tho danger aud gave the r.larm.
It was too late to check the e, and
the men, after the first instant of conster
nation, sprang to the side to leap for
their lives. Fortunately in that instant
the engine passed the culvert .-aiely
More speed was added, and in another
moment the entire train had passed the
dangerous culvert. Ihe train was slopped
and the culvert examined.
It was almost a miracle that they had
escaped, and it was due mainly to the
fact that the rails, which were twenty
four feet in length, rested some five or
six feet on either side of the culvert, and
were joined by fish-back plntes.
Huseman, the fireman, w hom the Jour
nal reporter met last night, on his return
trip, said: "I've been railroading twelve
years, now, and it's the narrowest escape
I ever had, or want to have again. Tho:-c
timbers were nearly all burnt out beneath
the rails, and the rails, I saw myself,
were red hot in two or three places. If
they had not been jointed just as thoy
were, it would have beeu a dead tning
for all of us. There were sixtet-n cars
behind us in the freight, and they'd have
all been on top of U3 before we could
have jumped a loot. workmen were
immediately sent to the spot, and the
damage at once repaired. JJaylon Jour
nal. Scenes at the Banana Whahf. A
schooner loaded with bananas arrived at
the Arch street wharf yesterday morning,
aud no sooner had the lino been cast
ashore than a large crowd of boys formed
a line on the extreme edge of the whuif,
j with long poles in their hands, and btood
there like so many ice-drivers waiting
events. The poles h:id queeriy-formcd
tin boxes on the ends of them, and one
or two, lacking these, were ringed with
baskets. A spry colored man, with a
face as innocent and free fmu any siu-
reptitious design as that of a laughing
cherub, jumped upon the boat and stood
with his hands iu his packet, admiring
the rich fruit with distended jaws and
protruding eyes. The captain ordeied
him off, und with a look of rieC he
stepped upon the wharf. The crew be
gan to unload. Good bnnanas wre
thrown into the wagons and bad bananas
into the water. Each boy plunged his
pole into the water and began fishi'i.' for
the cast-away fruit. One boy scoops up
a banana aud lands it ou the wharf. An
other boy near by runs forward and
snatches it up. The firtt boy drops the
pole aud catches the usurper. A strug
gle ensues and thebannna drops. Before
the first boy cau pick it up, boy No. 2
brings his heel upon it and demolishes it
forever. That crushed banana must be
avenged. Again they clinch, and boy
No. 2 gets badly belabored over the head
and goes a way with a bloody nose to
hunt a reck. Meantime -excitement i3
aroused on the other side of the wharf.
The innocent-looking colored ni!in ha3
been detected taking a banana from a
wagon, and is forthwith chased by six
grown men, a like number of half
grown men, and a couutless rabble of
boys, who have beeu waiting f-.r an op
portunity to do the same thing them
selves. "

Abandoning Her Parents' Faith.
Miss Lucy Sherek, au account of wtio.se-
conversion from Judaism to Christian
ity, about a month ago, was pub-
hsned in the World, was formally re
ceived into the church on Wednesday
evening an-i the rite of baptism was cele
brated. The services were conducted in
Appleton Mission, Williamsburg. The
Rev. Dr. Jeffrey ot the Marc7 Avenue
Baptist Church, officiated. The mana
ger of the society determined to have the
services conducted quietly, and the mem
bers were cnioined to maintain a strict
secrecy respecting the preparations. When
the doors were thrown open a crowd nev
ertheless pressed through and quickly
filled tne audience room. llic seating
capacity of the hall is for 400 persons;
there were not less than 500 there. A
few moments before the hour of service
Dr. Jeffrey pasted from a rear room to a
small platform. As he took a seat near
the desk, lour men aud Miss Sherek, all
attired in baptismal robes and accom
panied by an attendant, entered from a
door directly behind the staging, and
were seated on a bench facing the desk.
Miss Sherek wore the customary dress of
black alpaca, to which a neat linen collar
and cuffs, turned back over the sleeves,
had beeu temporarily attached. A white
rose was fastened to the folds of the dress
ou her bosom.
Dr. Jeffrey delivered a sermon in which
he dwelt at length upou the significance
of the ceremony about to be performed,
especially under such unusul circum
stances. After the sermon he beckoned
to Miss Sherek and descended into the
baptistry. As Miss Sherek stepped
forward the audience lose in a body, and
as she descended into the baptistry and
thus disappeared beneath the- level of the
floor, the clmir.s m:l benches were cowd--ed
with persons fctauding upon them and
endeavoring to look over into the water.
When science was again restored Dr. Jef
frey said :
'Dost thou boiieve in the Eord
Christ?"

girl's account, she was subjected to cruel

night was colli and stormy, but covering
the bundle with a shawl she hurried
through the streets to Mr. Jordan's house.
She said that he had left home

remained at his house from Friday niht

her brother called at Mr. Jordan's office
to inquire her whereabouts. Mr. Jordan
