The company purposes 1o make a number of tests by drilling to the depth of from fifteen hundred to twenty-five hundred feet, the drill to be four inches. It is proposed 1o make the capital stock $100,000 in shares of §200 each. The recent discovery of coal just south of the city and the traces {ound elsewhere cause many to_ believe that it is well worth the - small Investment neces- sary to determine whether thero are paying quantities, 'y The proposed constitution apd _by-laws have been printed and distributed. They are very crude and merely outline the proposed movement. It is belicved that if the enter- Prise can be given the right start it will re sult in demonstrating the fact that there is in this county a wealth undergronnd which ought to be brought to the surface. i o o drderiy The New Council.

They have succeeded, from small beginnings, and by overcoming many obsta- cles, in completing one of the finest church buildings in the city. They are now talking of trying to secure a college here, a branch of the great institution at Atchison. Rev. Father Adolph Wesseling, the present pastor, Was one of the professors in that cotlege, and naturally takes much interest in the enter- prise, He is not onlya very efficient and popular pastor, but also a thoroughly edu- cated and very scholarly man. It will take somo time, under even his able leadership, to arrange the financial part of this great enter- prise, but the energy shown already is assur- ance that if the German Catholics take hold of this enterprise in earnest they will carry it to a success, ‘The location of such a college here will afford an excellent opportunity for the boys to get an education withot going far from home. It is an enterprise worth work- ing for, and its securement would be a great benefit to the city as a whole, without regard to denominational interests. e 8. B.

BUT SHE DESERTED HIM, And the Costly Mansions and Elab- orate Kurnishings Went t Ruins—A Romantio Tale. The inhabitants of New Providence, N. J., were recently startled by asound, asof an earthquake. Instantly every one rushed 1o the street only to discover that the noise was caused by the falling of the tower on the old Pike mansion, utterly destroying the whole structure, When the cloud of dust had passed away it was found that a heap of ruins was all that was left of one of the handsomest residences ever built on the Upper Pas- saie. The beautiful Corinthian col- umns were thrown outward and crushed into pieces, and several children who were playing in the neighborhood were injured. A ROMANTIC TALE, This ends one stage of one of the most romantic tales that ever hinged on a faithless woman's love. The story reads like fiction. but it is nevertheless a true one, although few are now living who can remember all the incidents con- nected with it. Seventy years ago Daniel Pike was a handsome New Yorker, the only son of wealthy parents, and a ®markably suc- cesstul ousiness man. He was a great social favorite. In spite of the traps set. for him by the mammas of fair daugh- ters he remained a bachelor. He finally became attached to a young French girl whose family had recently arrived in America, and whose father had engaged in business near young Pike's store on Broadway. The young lady was Vivi- enne de Cerne. Her family was con- nected with the royal family of France, but had left that country for political reasons. Miss de Cerns was a great favorite in New York society. She was an exquisite beauty. She was a perfect blonde, She possessed a form such as sculptors rave abouty eyci ghaded by gracefully drooping lids and long silken lashes; a mouth forming a perfect Cupid’s bow, and classic features, en- livened with modern humanity. BATTLING FOR A MAIDEN, Bitter was the contest for the young lady’s hand, but young Pike won the rize after a long siege. He was then interested in aweal estate speculation at New Providencgyon the line of the Mor- ris & Essex radiroad, then just com- pleted. The couple decided that after marriage they would spend most of each year at New Prpyidence, which being but fifteen miles from New York,would be convenient to- Pike’s place of busi- ness. That hig' bride might have a home wholly in keeping with her beauty, birth and culture, young Pike selected a comm@nding site with charm- ing surroundings for.as fine a mansion as money could build. With the aid of the most skillful arch- itects and artisans in the city he erected a veritable alace. The extensive grounds around the growing structure were laid out by the most skillful land- scape gardeners; Beautiful groves of maple, pine and horse-chestnuts bor- dered the property. Finally, ata cost of a million dollars, all was completed. The edifice was stately and imposing. A graceful tower, 100 feet high, over- looked the larger part of the upper Passaic Valley. Massive Corinthian columns added a classic beauty to the front view. Costly statues, fountains, rare plants and flowers dotted the lawn and filled the conservatory. The inter- ior of the mansion was sum{nuous in its appointments. Grand hallways with marble floors and sides carved,with plate glass mirrors, abounded everywhere. All that a fertile brain, incited by love and aided with wealth, could plan for the perfection of an earthly paradise was done. MARRIED TO A RIVAL. While young Pike was thus_absorbed in his labor of love, Miss Vivienne’s other admirers and suitors continued their attentions. Before the marriage day her affections become alienated from her aflianced, and her sudden se- cret marriage with John Durand, the leading fopZof the day, took place. ' The agony of el e B AL CFI e able. His life was hopelessly blasted. For a_ time he lay between life and _death. When he re- covered he resolved that the handsome residence at New Providence should be a monument to the memory of the fickle girl. 1t was closed up just as it stood, furniture, bric-a-brac and all, and has never been inhabited. In ac- cordance with his previous plans, youn, Pike removed to New Providence, an since has lived in a remote portion of his large estate with his sister, where he may still be met,an aged and broken- hearted man. Soon strange stories were told about ghostly visitors at the mansion. Lights at midnight were seen, grouns and the rattling of chains weré heard. Horses could not be driven in the vicinity at certain hours of the night, and but few people cared to venture very near at any time of the day. So the neglected villa and its valuable furnishings were unmolested. Last winter, on a cold night, a tramp failing to find shelter, walked up to the mansion and ruthlessly battered in a window, and on entering was astonished to find the house completely furnished. He entered one of the chambers,and his cold, aching body sank into thé softest down and was covered by the finest blankets and sillc spreads. = Over his resting place hung a canopy of silk and Jac His torn and dirty - clothing covered chairs whose dainty upholstering caused an ejaculation of surprise even {rom the hardened tramp, His hat covered the top of a statue of Mercury. This was the room prepared for the bride. Noun- earthly visitant marred his dreams. ‘When the tramp departed he evidently thought it no sin to possess himself of sundry articled as mementos of his escape from freezing to death. DESPOILING THE MANSION. Soon after this breaking of the ice, as it were, other people mustered up cour- age and took to dropping into the abandoned house and likewise providing themselves with mementos more or less appropriate. _ Before long the rare paintings and mahogany furniture in the parlors and drawing rooms, the Brussels and velvet carpets, all the equipment of the grand house were con- verted into mementos and carried away by visitors. Finally nothing was left but the grand piano, whose ivory keys seldom had been touched, The country vandals were unable to get this out of the house. In the meantime windows and doors had béen left ajar; the winds and storms were doing damage to the building. One by one the walls fell in, and on’ Wednesday the magnificent tower gave way and now the whole is a mass of ruing most abject and desolate, ‘As Mr. Pike has lived but amile from this place he knew what was going on, but did_ not care apparently. Though old and feebla he still carries on his business in New York traveling back and forth home regardless of weather, ot Shuiind Hurt In Conpling.
