THE STUFF BURNS ANYWAY, Trial of Bill Cuppy For Thumping a Tenant—Narrow Escape From a Big B —Police Points —Personals. Finding Black Diamonds. During the past four months there have been rumors afloat hereabouts that coal had been discovered within a few miles of Council Bluffs, but they were of 80 vague and unsatisfactory nature that they have been regarded as canards and tales having no existence in fact. For all this certain persons living in this city have been quietly investigating, making mysterious visits, ete., the re- sults of which they have sacredly kept to themselves. The fact that we are situated near or upon the coal belt which traverses the state (as has been demonstrated by late geological sur- veys), lent a strong colov of probability to the oft repeated prophesy that within a few years, at most, the fuel of the city would be supplied by home mines. Now it seems more than probable that these prophesies will be speedily realized. At various times traces of soft coal hav been found at different poin in the city, but none that attained to near the magnitude of this latest dis- covery. This hope of fucl at home is based largely upon recent discoveries over the line in Mills countys, wheie it isthought a vein of cannel conl has heen uncov- ered. The find is located on the farm of Mr. C. H. Spetman, which is about one half mile from Henton’s station, or sixteen miles from this city. A portion of the farm is cov- ered by timber through which a small of water flows. The soil abut- low and marshy, interspersed liffs which rise twenty feet ater level. This forms a At the mouth of which hopper who is in the em- petman. The difficulty of without doubt, the s remained undis- covered so Cesterda) son of Mr. Spetman the BEE office and gave a history of the finding. 1t is interesting and "the facts are herein given as detailed by him **It was some time between Christmas and New Year said he, “that I found it. I was walking along through the woods by the stream when T saw u hole which was not naturally made. [ knew somebody had been there and T made up my mind [ would find out what they there for,” ou thought something might be buried there?” suggested the BEE man. “Well,I didn’t know what to think, ’he replied, “Whoever they were, [ knew they had no business there and 1 went to work to find out what 1 could about the matter. 1 asked the wood-chopper, but he said no one had gone in by his house. I learned afterward they went in over the hill. Didn’t wantto be seen? Why, of course they didn't, or else they would have gone in the other way, and not gone climbing over the rocks and ru uin’g the danger of breaking their ReBl access 1o th reason the find “Then the discovery was purely acci- dental?” “Well, yes. Thad no idea there was coal there and my digging was to flnd out what the other fellows got out of or put into the hole. The spot was so low that water flowed in as fast as I took anything out. Those who dug the hole must have contrived some way to keep the water out.” *To what depth did you go?” ““About three feet. The weather 80 cold and the water flowed in so f: that T gave up doing anything more until it moderates, but there is a three- foot vein there, anyway.” “Did you take out enough to make a fair test as to its burning Gualities?” “Yes, I took out quite a quantity. 1 tried it at home and found it burned freely after the.water had dried out of it. Ireally took it out of the water, you know.” he BEE man was getting ecurious to sce practical evidenecs of this story and asked why his informant had not brought some of his product into town with him. “1 did bring in some,” he answered. petman went to the front of the office and took up a bag from which he produced several specimens. had very much the appearnce of shale or a species of slate.” “You see, he continued, ‘‘they feel soupy or greasy, and the water which came in contact with them in the hole looked decidedly oily. Let's just see whether they will burn or not.” He put one of them into the stove. In & moment the ro looking thing had dried off and was throwing off a brilliant flame. **Some of the pieces I nave burned,” said Spetman, *‘burned down to a fine, clean ash, while others left a kind of slaty bstance.” We watcehed the picce slowly consume, then he looked up with a questioning glan *There’s no doubt about it heing cc In contact with the fire in the stove the ignition was as rapid as with much soft coal, and judging from all that could be n, the BEE man gave it as his unqualitied opinion that it was of that nature. For several d ast negotiations have been in progress between c sarties in this city and farmers i in the Spetman neighborhood for the purchase of their land, and it is fully believed that this find, with the possi bility of the existence o extensive coul bed there, is the cause of this sud- den demand for farm land, In all matters of this kind the pub- lic mind is very suspicious. It is famil- iar with all the prodi of salting for booming purposes and will possibly re- gard this as of the same , but M Spetman and his family ar well known here to have any discredit at- tached to what they say. They have no coal lund to sell; they do not desive to form @ stock company to deve op their “*hole in the ground” nor a they trying to perpetrate any other scheme for advancing their own finan- cial interests at the expense of another.

Riddle, ex-president of the Penn bank of Pittsburg, a .broker, now in New York cit; one among the best close-range shots in America. He is {;1\10 and slender and has only one lung, ut he is quick as lightning and shoots on the intuitive sight plan. He once defeated Buffalo Bill and other er marksmen in a close-range contest with rifles. About once a week he malkesthe rounds of the shooting galleries in the Bowery and is more popular with the crowds that drop in than any ward pol tician. Taking a revolver or a sixte shooting rifle, he rings each target in succession. One of Riddle’s most remarkable ex- ploits with firearms was when he went to California last M After the train passed Reno he and Billy Emerson, the minstrel, had a jolly time, The train was beginning to slow up at a sta- tion when Emerson spied a chicken ahead in front of a small house. He bet $1 that the latter could not shoot off the chicken's head with his pistol while the train passed, Riddle pointed his pistol from the window. lirmL and th } wl's head was seveved from its body. Emer- son threw #1 to the astonished ne ) woman who saw her chicken keel over as if it had been guillotined. In Cali- fornin Mr. Riddle visited a mining camp and soon had the freedom of the place presented to him. Many miners. scouts, unters and prospectors were at a shoot- ing mateh. A friend who accompanied Mr. Riddle to the town said that the slim man with him would shoot against any man in the crowd fora treat all round. Instantly four or five champion shots accepted the terms, The Penn- sylvanian hit the bull’s eye nine out of ten times with a rifle, and then, taking his pistoly he centered the bull's e, seven consecutive times.

RUFUS HATCH ON JAY GOULD: Some Queer Wills of Rich Frenchmen —Compound Interest—Barnum's Will—How Millionaires Have Left Their Money. Frank G. Carpenter in the Chicago Tribune: There is no pocket in a shroud. All of A.T. Stewart’s millions could not prevent the body-santchers seizing his corpse, and it is said that it costs #50.000 aeyear toguard the ushes of William H. Vanderbilt. The Vanderbilt tomb cost half a million dol- lars, and $30 a day is spent for the de- tective guard which is now kept about it. 1t is perhaps the costliest tomb in this country. It is more than one hun- dred feet square and sixty-three feet high, and lies in the Moravian ceme- tery on Staten island upon the ground which gave their start in the United States. It is watched night and day, and in order to better protect its con- tents a powerful flame is lighted from its cupola at night. The have to inspect the tomb every half hour, and there is an electric register which shows whether they have done their du The guarding of rich men's graves has become a regular business since the death of A. T. Stewart, and_few promi- nent men die whose remains are not watched for some weeks after their in- terment. The vault in which F. A. Drexel’s body lay was watched months after his death, and a widow of anoth of Philadelphia’s millionaires, in addi- tion to guarding her husband’s grave, had a mussive granite slab put upon it, so heavy that it could not be moved without the use of powerful machinery. Jay Gould has a mausoleum in ' Wood- lawn cemetery, and his lot there 1s a cireular one ~ containing about four acres, There is not asingle tree nor shrub upon it, and Jay Gould, when he leaves his $200,000,000, and, without his check-hook, pusses to the other world, will rest in an lonic temple made of un- polished Westerly granite. Thirty col- umns, eleven feet high and about afoot in diameter, will uphold the roof abo! his remains, once so rich but now so poor, and a bronze door of Greeinn design will shut out the intruders and give visitors a chance to peep in the holes which are pierced in it at the magnificence within, The foundation is concrete and @ single stone forms the floor. There is a window with the pic- ture of a chair of angels upon it which throw asoft lightinto the tomb, and the vault will be as big as that of the Capu- lets and will give un uncrowded resting place to at least a score of dead. Rufus Hatch, who is o writer as well as a millionaive speculator, gave an es- timate las w of what Jay Gould's will would probably be, and hé says that the Trvington property will go to M Gould with an income of 100,000 « yes Gould will give $1,000,000 to each of h children in trust until they are twent, ars of age and the bulk of the rest property will go to charity, with ception of $50,000,000, which will he given to his son George J. Gould to keep up the family name and uta- tion. Jay Gould has not been noted for his generosity to the poor during life- time and he will hardly care to make a reputation of this kind_ after his death. His $200,000,000 will put in such a shape that it will continue to grow,until eitherhis *children or his children’s children fight over a will and the law- yersand his descendants scatter it to the winds. A fortune of the size of Gould’s seldom escapes a will suit. The Vanderbilts have had their turn in the court, and shortly after A. T. Stewart died a score of claimants brought suits for a part of his property. Stewart had no childven himself and the lawyers got good fees out of his widow. The estate of John Anderson, the rich tobacconist, is still being fought over in the courts, a con- testant has lately appeared for the Girard estate, and few rich men are able to make their wills so sound that law- annot puncture them. If there is ything out of the usual line in them the deccased is accused of insanity,and the queercst actions of sane men are often exhibited in their wills. A French millions named Henri Meynard, who died in the south of France about two years ago, was during his life cst a man of extraordinary commol s He amassed a large fortune in cotton spinning and was one of the most noted officers of the Irench government in his part of the country. Still his will was contested by his heirson the ground of insanity, and it certainly contained some curious provisions, It dirccted that his coffin should be deposited in a tomb cut in asolid block of stone and that cement should be run into the in- terstices and over the top so that the whole should form one solid mass. Upon the top of the whole a stone was then to be cemented and the solid block con- taining the body was then 1o be put up in the cupola of his house. The will di- rected that his home coutaining art col- lections to the amount of #40,000 should remain uninhabited exceptby the scores ofdogs.chick ens, pigeons, and other pets which testator was so fond of during his lifetime, and that the house remain untouched except for Another Frenchman provided that a new cooking recipe should be pasted on his tomb each day, and another lionaire provied that an epitaph to his dog A put beside his own upon his monument. There is a millionaire in who has now passed his thr and ten, who has made his own coffin, and nged all the details of his name is Richardson, and aid to be the richest man in Con- necticut. He is a good business man ich his father left him. Heisacrank on the ject of elm timber for coffins, and it is now forty years since he sent to Iing- and for an elm saplin While it was growing he told his fr ds that he in- tended to be finally buried within it.and that he hoped to have enough wood from it to furnish coffins for all his frtends. A few s ago the tree, then over thirty years old, wa cut down and enough material got out of it to make three coffins. He packed one of these away in his garret for himself, burning his name into the top and sides with iron. He said that an engraved plate would he too expensive, and his diree: tions for his funeral provide that the simplest ceremony shall be used. Enough of the wood for another coffin he sent to Dr. Dix, the rector of Trinity church, New York, and the other )lanks he presented w his only brother. Or. Dix is said to have. had acoflin made from the wood, but the brother, though he hus sent his thunks for the present, has not carcd to do so. peaking of curious -wills; a rich Inglishmun gave some years ago £10 a year ‘to his monkey Jacko: £5 to ‘his dog Shooiy tud a peosivn of £5 8 vear Connecticut mil- | to his well beloved cat Tib. Another rich Englishman gave his daughters their weight in £1 baunk notes, and the eldest daughter received more than £200,000, and the younger nearly $300,- 000 from it. Another FEnglishman in 1883 be- ueathed 850,000 for a college which should teach wives and housekeepers their duties, and a French advocate be- queathed 100,000 francs to_a local mad- house, saying: “1 earned this money from those who passed their lives in litigation, and in_bequeathing it to the use of lunatics I only make restitu- tion.” Among the big wills of recent date was that of the Cuban Terry, which left an estate of 850,000,000, This will is entered into jointly by Terry and his wife and it is *‘we” and not ‘I which is used as to the various provisions. It declares that the two contracted mar- ringe and that they had certain chil- dren, which are named. It gives the amount that Senor Terry brought into the family, and ends in appointing the survivor of the two executorsof the By one clause of the will &300,- anish gold was to be given to certain members of the family fora pur- pose which was secretly intrusted to them. The heir or their representa- tives must not demand explanations as to the investment of this sum, and an- other clause provided that if any one of the legatecs contested the will he should be deprived of the shure which he was given in it. Will suits have made fortunes for many lawyers, and many an_estate is swallowed up by the courts. One of the richest of the San Francisco million- named Pioche, left a fortune which has been thus dissipated, and the citation of such suits in New York City would fill columns, $1,200,000 haying been paid for legal services in cases of such contests and thus led some rich vide against them. P.T. Barnum lately says that he has provided that if any of his legatees make a contest of his will he shall by that act forfeit his bequest, and he has s a fund for the executors any contestant. He thinks there is too much contesting of wills on the ground of incompetency, and he has had three phy: 8 his will and these have all made oaths that he is of sound mind. His will contains 700 pages and it was made several years ago. It gives $10,000,000 to twenty- seven direct heirs and gives various sums to the charities of his rative town of Bridgeport. It is v sensibly writ- ten and Barnum’s precautions will probably stave off a number of lawsuits. There has been talk of conteésting Til- den’s will since his death and trouble is said to have now arisen between the widow of Alexander Mitchell and his son. Mitchell left his wife an annuity of $50,000 during her natural life to be paid her in monthly installments from the date of his discase. He gave her $200.000 in cash and $200,000 in stocks, and also the homestead during her lifetime. The bulk of the rest of his property went to his son, and the widow and son were made the executors of the will. The son, who 1s forty-six years old, now manages the property and a report_has been published that Mrs. Mitchell is not satistied with his management, and that she is thinking of going to California live. John W. Garrett divided his property almost equally among his three chil- dren, and he left, it is_said, somewnere between $20,000,000 and $37,000,000. He tried to keep the Baltimore & Ohio rail- road stock intact, and provided that 80,000 shares should be held for twenty years from the date of his death, when it should be divided among his three children. 3 e Robert Harding recently collected a crowd in front of w public hall in Lon- don. When a policeman asked him what he was doing he said: ““Iam here for the purpose of testing the right to ree speech. I came here to deliver a specch on peaceful anarchy.” He re- fused to go away, and the policeman, at- tompting to take him, found his fast- ened to the iron railing by a chain around his waist, locked with a puzzle lock, of which he refused to give the combination. i —_—— The lives of the Protestant Episcopal bishops, Talbot and Leonard, present a remarkable coincidence. 3 boys together in a little mission school in Missouri, starting together the same day and sitting at the same desks.
