A LIGNITE FIND.
Fine Quality of Coal Found In the
Vicinity of Wilton.
The, promoters of the Bismarck
Washburn & Great Falls railway are
greatly elated over the discovery of ft
fine quality of lignite coal in the vi
cinity of Wilton, the first station on
the new line. The coal was found at
a depth of fifty feet in large quanti
ties, and its composition in the lowest
portion of the mine is almost bitumin
ous, showing nearly 60 per cent of car
bon. The consumption of coal within
easy hauling distance of the mines
there Will amount to thousands of
tons annually. In Fargo alone there
is a market for 200 car loads daily.
Tracklaying on the new road is pro
gressing at the rate of a mile a day.
About twenty-five flat, cars are on
their way to Bismarck, the engines
being already on the ground.
Senator Washburn's land syndicate
has sold about 23,000 acres of land
near Wilton, which is some forty miles
south of Bismarck, and hundreds of
settlers are already putting in tlieir
crops. There is already an elevator at
this station containing 50,000 bushels
of grain, which will be shipped out on
the completion of the line to that
point. The officials of the road esti
mate that they will get about 1.000.000
bushels of wheat and 10t,000 bushels
of flax out of the country tributary to
Wilton, from which it would appear
that the country is adapted to other
purposes than grazing.
All of the Northern Pacific lands in
Mercer county which are opposite to
Washburn on the west bank of the
river, have been bought by the Mercer
County improvement company.
IMPORTANT TRANSFER
Of Valuable Real Estate Made in
Grand Forks.
The most important real estate
transfer that has been recorded in
Grand Forks for a long time occurred
the other day, when a deal was con
summated whereby Tracy R. Bangs
becomes the owner of the 50-foot lot.
on Third street just south of the ma
chinery warehouse of Stephen Collins.
The property was owned by F. R.
F'ulton, formerly of Grand Forks, but
now located in Chicago, and the deal
was made through C. C. Gowran.
The property extends back to the
Northern Pacific tracks, and is un
doubtedly the most valuable vacant
business property in the city. Several
parties have been negotiating for it
for some time past, but the purchase
was secured by Mr. Bangs.
When interviewed regarding it he
stated that he intended to erect a
brick block on the property at once,
as soon as plans could be completed.
The building will be either two or
three stories high, and modern in ev
ery respect. The ground floor will be
rented as store rooms, and will un
doubtedly be eagerly sought after, on
account of the location, second to none
in the city. As soon as the new build
ing is completed Mr. Bangs will re
move to the new structure.
The erection of a handsome brick
block upon the above lot will make a
decided improvement in the appear
ance of Third street, and will be re
garded with infinite satisfaction by
every one in the city. In securing so
valuable a property Mr. Bangs is to
be congratulated.

Contract Let for the Remodeling: of
Ed Patterson's Tavern.
Glineberg & Loven of Bismarck have
sccured the contract for the removal

new site on the block west of the pres
ent location of the hotel. Local offi
cials of the Northern Pacific received
advices to that effect recently, and the
contractors were also notified. The
amount of their contract is $13,500.
This includes the moving of the hotel
and the remodeling, as provided by
the plans and specifications for the re
moval. The work is to begin in a
phort time. Tenants of the block to
which the Sheridan will be removed
have been requested, to vacate within
two weeks. As soon as the moving
apparatus and crew arrive in the city
the work of removal will be begun.
The building will be veneered with
white brick, similar to that on the face
of the new Baker building. The doors

Conference Comes
to
Close.
Chicago, May 30.—With three busi
ness sessions yesterday the quadren
nial conference of the Methodist Epis
copal church, which for a month past
has been sitting here considering great
questions affecting the welfare of that
denomination, practically came to a
close. The actual adjournment takes
place to-day, but to-day's session Is
expccted to be but little more than a
formality and many of the delegates
left for their homes last night. Much
important business was transacted
yesterday, including the settlement of
tw of the most interesting questions
brought before the conference—the re
ports of the committee on temperance
and the committee on the state of the
church in relation to the ban on card
playing, theater going, dancing and
other amusements. A strong political
color was given the discussion on the
temperance question by the bitter ar
raignment of President McKinley be
cause of his attitude on the anti-can
teen law but after some decidedly
warm debate, the conference refused
to criticise the attitude of the chief
magistrate by striking out by an over
whelming vote nil reference to any
action on his part or that of Attorney
General Griggs. The minority report
on the amusements accepted Saturday
was, to the surprise of many, laid on
the table, whicli action leaves the par
agraph in the book of discipline ex
actly as it was before the question was
considered.
ANOTHER FIRM GOES.
Failure of Seymour, Johnson & Co.
Is Announced.
New York, May 30—The failure of
Stymour, Johnson & Co. has been an
nounced on the New York stock and
cotton exchanges. The firm was or

Seymour and David Webster, the lat
ter said to be a special partner for
$50,000. Alfred Hayes, Jr., is as
signee and Coudert Brothers are
named as the counsel. It is said that
the troubles of the firm are due to
commitments in the cotton market.
They had been long of cotton and
turned to the short side two weeks
ago. In the stock market they have
been bears. No information can be
obtained as to the extent of their con
tracts. but in the stock exchange they
are not believed to be large. Rumor
of financial trouble regarding the firm
which was circulated at the time of
the Price, McCormick & Co. failure
have precipitated the suspension.
Transactions for the account of the
failed firm under the rule in the stock
exchange amounted to 8.000 shares in
the course of half an hour after the
failure was announced. It was stated
that the firm's outstanding contracts
on the cotton exchange are small and
that these are well margined.
TO DISARM THEM.
The Policy of the Army In the Phil
ippines.
Washington, May 30.—'The war de
partment has received the following
cablegram from (Jen. MacArthur at
Manila, dated yesterday:
"Three officers, 50 men. with 46
rifles, surrendered unconditionally at
Cuyapo yesterday. Three officers. 46
men, with 55 rifles, surrendered un
conditionally at Tarlac. These spon
taneous surrenders are very encour
aging."
Gen. Corbin said that Gen. MacAr
thur's dispatch shows that the situa
tion in the Philippines is improving.
The present policy of tlie army, it is
said, is to disarm and not to kill the
Filipino insurgents, and that object is
being facilitated by the action of the
Filipino captains in getting their men
together and surrendering in a body.
In such cases the men get receipts for
their arms and ammunition.

THE SUN S ECLIPSE
WEATHER CONDITIONS FAVOR THB
SCIENTISTS.
Contact Occurred Very Close to
Schedule Time In Sections Fa­
vored With a Total Eclipse Dark­
ness Prevailed for About a Min­
ute—In Some Southern Cities Dur­
ing the Period of Totality Stars
Were Visible—Timing of the
Eclipse Regurded as theMont Re­
markable Prediction in the His­
tory of Astronomy.
Atlanta, Ga., May 30. In every
section of the Southeastern states yes
terday over which the totality of the
sun's eclipse extended the weather
was ideal for the observation of this
remarkahle phenomenon.
In the southern portion of Alabama
there was some haziness, but other
than this astronomers and scientists
who had located tlieir observaiories
in North and So-nth Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Louisiana, report that
the weather could not have lieen more
auspicious for the study of the sun's
eclipse and to secure splendid photo
graphs of the details attending the
passage of the great orbs. From the
many stations of. observation estab
lished by universities, scientific and
private parties the reports indicate
that the taking of scientific data was
Entirely Successful
and no incidents occurred to mar in
the smallest degree the full benefit
that was expected to be derived from
the event by the scientists, many ot
whom made long journeys to view the
eclipse for eighty-five seconds. The
two most notable features of the day
was the discovery by Prof. L:rd of
the Ohio Stat-- univerisity. who lie
lieves he obtained results that tend
to prove that the mysterious matter
which forms tiie corona is to be found
also in the solar prominences, and the
existence of protuberances on the snu
as reported by I'rof. Pickering of
Harvard. What constitutes the gas
eous element surrounding the sun.
however, has not been determined,
and if any astronomer has
Solved This Problem
he has not yet committed himself.
The eclipse came with startling pre
cision in spite of a miscalculation of
seven seconds, and while the period of
totality lasted, nature appeared to
stand still in awe. if not in fear of the
manifestation. The first perception of
something beyond the ordinary came
to Barnesville and vicinity in the shape
of a gray, pearly light that streamed
down when the sun's sphere was half
obscund. diminishing gradually as
the crescent of the visible surface
narrowed. The shadow bands denot
ing the coming of the total eclipse
•were clearly perceptible against a
white surface in the enclosing gloom
for fully three minutes before the rays
were entirely obscured. The shallow
bands, strangely running from the
northwest, were watched with
Peculiar Interest
and first were seen a series of small
wavy shadows falling against tiie
white surface, quickly growing larger
and more dense, and coming in rapid
succession, nutil. as the moment of
totality arrived, a dense wave of
gloom, enveloping everything in na
ture, shot by to the southeast. The
time of darkness, in which everything
was obscured to such a degree that a
man would fail to distinguish his
friend across the street, seemed long
to the onlin .ry observer, but to the
mian of science, unreasonably short.
The first notice that the phase of to
tality was over came with a startling
ray of light that produced a change
as suddenly as did the black wave
sweeping from the southwest at the
moment when the phase began. From
all points in this section comes
news of the perfect day for
eclipse with nothing to obscure
phenomenon.

Washington. May 30. Advices re
ceived at the naval observatory from
its agents in various ports in the South
show that favorable weal her prevailed
for observing the sun's eclipse, that
the contact occurred very close to the
schedule time and that the programme
arranged was carried out without a
hitch. Three parties were sent out
from the observatory, viz: One to
Pinehurst, N. C.. in charge of Prof.
Aaron N. Skinner: one to Harnesville,
Ga., in charge of Prof. Milton 1'pdc
graff, and one to Griffin, Ga.. in charge
of Prof. Stilson J. Brown. Supt. C. II.
Davis, of the observatory, was in com
munication with these officials by tele
graph, and during the day he received
the following from Prof. Skinner, at
Pinehurst: "Sky clear and favorable,
permitting successful observation of
the eclipse. All seventeen instruments
successfully operated. Contact oc
curred very close to predicted time.
Corona very fine. Mercury only star
visible."
Prof. Updegraff. at Burnesville, and
Prof. Brown, at Griliin, merely report
ed that observations were successful.
