' Coal at Louisville. Louisville citizens are very much worked up over the discovery of what is claimed to be an excellent quality of anthracite coal on the farm of J. K. Lee, who lives in tbe southeast part of that city. The discovery was made while boring for water near Mr. Lee's residence. The drill it seems, passed through a black substance, and finally reached 1C0 teet without striking water. A dispatch fro.n there further states. "Work was then stopped, but it oc curred to Mr. Lee to have tl.e black substance analyzed. This was done by Prof. Nicholson of tbe state univer sity, who found that it contained a fraction less than 90 per cent carbon and pronuonced It to be the highest grade of anthracite coal. "The coal has beeu tried in a stove and t ur i readily.

One ttan Killed, Several Cars Demol ished and a Badly Crippled En gine the Result. One of the most serious disasters, in the shape of a wreck, that has befallen theB. & M. otithis division In a long time was that which occurred north of this city on Monday morning last. In which L. I. Fuller, of Plattsmouth, lost his life, an engine and several cars bad ly wrecked and several persons barely escaped with their lives; the particu lars of which are about as follows: The '.rain which ran into No. 2y, was the fast freight, No. 71, with Engineer James Spears and Fireman Peterson in charge of the engine. Freight No. 29, due here at i:30, was nearly two hours behind time and did not leave Piatts mouth until alout 8:30. and then as per orders. The train was an unusuairy heavy one, containing fifty or sixty cars, and It was almost an Impossibili ty to get up the proper speed to reach Oreapolls before the fast freight came along, on whose time they seemed to be running. As 29 was rounding the curve at Swallow Hill, where the wreck oc curred, the rear brakeman noticed the fast freight approaching. He imme diately apprised the conductor and the two passengers aboard (Mr. Keohnke and Mr. P'uller) and warned them to jump to save themselves. As son as possible he got the danger signal, but it was coming too swiftly to save the crash. All succeeded in landing safely with but lew bruises, except Mr. Fuller, who.it appears, was lying on one of the seats when warned of the dan ger. In a second almost after t he warn ing the fast freight crashed through the caboose ere the unfortunate man could escape. He was found a few mo ments later buried under the debris, and died a few momentsafter beingex tricated. In rounding the curve, which from -its appearance, is an excellent place for such calamities, the engineer of the rear train did not see the one ahead until they were almost upon it, and the engineer and fireman barely had time to jump after reversing the the engine, but too late to save a wreck. The body of Mr. Fuller was conveyed to the undertaking establishment of Streight & Streight to prepare the same for interment. As soon as noi i fied Coroner Boeck summonsed the fol lowing gentlemen to act as a jury upon the inquest: P. P. Gass, August Gor der, L. B. Eenberger, Ed. Fitzgerald, J. V. Egenberger and James Herold. After a full and deliberate investiga tion the jury returned the following verdict: j We, the jury, duly sworn by the cor oner of Cass county, state of Nebraska, do find that the said L I. Fuller came to his death by the negligence of the conductor of train No. 29, B. & M. R. in Nebraska, going west. The deceased was well known in Plattsmouth, where he was highly re spected by all who knew him. He was a carpenter by occupation,' and on the morning of which he was killed, was on his way to Cedar Creek, where he and his partner, Mr. Chris. Koehnke, had some work to finish up for Messrs. New ell & Atwood. He was a quiet, unas suming gentleman, an industrious cit izen and about 40 years old. He had no relatives here, and for the past 15 years made his home with J. S. Wen dell and family, from whose residence the funeral took place yesterday after noon. The services were conducted by Dr. J. T. Baird, after which the re mains were consigned to the silent tomb. Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls. Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but was quite sere and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly releved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several days The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he lias since rcommended it to many others.

The funeral services of Mrs. Eliza beth Connally were held at 1:30 o'clock Friday, January 10th, at the Christian church In Murray, the writer officiat ing, assisted by Be v. Swagger of the LT. I, church. The deceased was the wife of John Connally, and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ThomasCampbell. She died January 9th, at St. Joseph's hospital in Omaha, where she underwent an operation a few days before. Her health has been poor for many months for which she has sought in vain for relief in both physicians and climate, and the operation was submitted to only as a last resort. With her death a home is broken up: a husband is be reft of a faithful wife: children lose a loving mother; aged parents are stricken with grief; brothers mourn for an only sister; while an entire community have a keen sense of a public loss. The deceased was born in Cass county October 11, 185S. Her entire life has been spent in this community. She was married to John Connally November 14th, 1877, and for more than 25 years she had graced his homo i with her presence and filled his heart with her love. Two children were born to them a son, Tom, and a daughter, Mrs. Mary Brisberi who resides in Oregon I'o' ll Wt TO nrese.lt at the last exercises. The loJy was interred at the El in wood cemetery, near the farm where she lived for yo many years. The funeral service was largely at tended, the church being crowded to its utmost capacity wlthsympathizing friends who came from nimy miles around to pay I heir last, respects to their dead friend. The business of the entire community was suspended for the hour and all did reverent, honor to the dead. Tin; corpse was taken away upon ti.e midnight train and a large cricle or friends, anxious to pay tribute to the last moment, assembled upon the depot platform and sang softly, "Nearer My God to Thee." Mrs. Connally was a woman who was universally respected. Quiet and un assuming in outwara manner, ner excllent character and inherent worth were recognized and felt by all. The grave holds her now in its mystery; but that mystery shall be made plain at the coming of the Son of Man when we "'shall know as we are known."

Mrs. Mattie Zarr, of South Bend, who went to Omaha to take medical treatment, was found dead in bed in her room at 1619 Dodge Dodge street, Sunday morning. Death, it seems, was due from asphyxiation, the gas jet being found wide open. The Om aha Bee of Monday morning gives the following particulars: "Saturday evening Mrs. Zarr retired to her room early. As she had been considered mentally unbalanced P. L. Voss, the proprietor of the house where she was rooming, took the pie caution against possible accident by turning out the gas in Mrs. Zarr's apartments after she had retired. About 7 o'clock Sunday morning the strong odor of gas was detected in the hallway and an investigation led to the discovery that the fumes were emitting from the apartmentsof Mrs. Zarr. Dr. Van Camp was summoned. Entrance was effected by one of the bystanders climbing through the transom. Dr. Van Camp found that Mrs. Zarr was daad and that life had been extinct for several hours. "Special Officer Jackson was called, al after a hasty examination found that the gas jet in the room had been turned wide open, though it had been tightly closed when the woman re tired. Coroner Brailey, who was noti ded, decided that an inquest was un necessary "For some time past Mrs. Zarr has b?en laboring under the hallucination that the spirit of her husband, who died some time ago, was haunting her, and it is thought that while suffering fr m one of these attacks she may have arisen and turned on the gas. Tne re in tins were taken to Maul's undertak iigro iras, and will be sent to South Bind, Neb., this afternoon." Mrs. Zarr was quite well known in this city and her husband was a prom inent citizen and one of the influential democrats of Cass countv. New Alarm Systert). At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Bank of Cass County on a iuesuay evening 01 last week, it was decided to equip that institution with a better protection for the funds in the vault, in case any attempt should be made to break it open. Without go ing into detail regarding the con struction of this system, government experts have ariived at the conclusion, after numerous tests, that safes in this day and age will not protect funds of a bank, and recommend the electric sys tem as a precaution. When the bank gets this system in full operation, and if ever an attempt thereafter is made to break in, the gong consisting of a 16-inch and a 14-iLch bell, which is struck in pendulum mtioo, giving it great force. When this bell goes off it is said that it can be heard a mile away at night. It isjo arranged that any attempt at drilling through the vault door or blow off the lock in any manner the gengs will instantly cause a number of lare bells to ring. The BmkofCass County is one of the solid banking institutions or Nebraska, and will spare no expense to protect the funds of their pat rons.

A Good Man Gone. In the death of Charles M. Butler there seems to be but one expression among those who knew him Ix-st : "A igood man gone." Mr. Butler died a ; few days ago in Lincoln, where hisfam J ily is at present residing. For many , years previous to his removal to Have lock, he resided in Plattsmouth. To show the high esteem in which he was held by the people of this city, he was twice elected to the office of mayor and at the end of the second term declined i a rtnomination. He was assistant dis trict clerk under Dr. W. H. Dearing, and was for several years secretary of the school board. Mr. Butler was also emploved for many years as clerk In the B. & M. shops here. He was very prominent in social and business cir cles. In removing from this city he was transfered to the storehouse of the B. & M. at Havelock, and was in the best of health, but heart trouble sud denly developed, and he steadily de clined until death relieved him. A wife and four children survive him one daughter and four sons, as follows: Claude, Paul.

The pcneral condition which con tribute to health and long life, are those which do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion of those powers by which lile i maintained. While we assert that the women of our land stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact that there are thousands in our midst who, owing to overwork, worry, household cares, and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili tated. We bring to the attention of all weary, despondent, hopeless, and sickly women earth's great rescuer and health builder, l'aine't Celery Compound.
