THE COAL LAW.

Information for Everybody on the Subject of Coal Weights.

There is still great confusion among dealers and consumers as to how many pounds ot coal constitutsa bushel. From time immemoriHl seventy pounds has, in this section, been considered a bushel but the last Legislature changed it to 80 pounds. Of course so long as it is understood between dealer and buyer that the price quoted is given on a basis of seventy pounds, it makes no difference but the legal standard should, for convenience and uniformity, be adopted by all.

The history of the law on this subject is interesting. In Indianapolis the city ordinance is very strict on the subject. All dealers are liable to have their coal tickets tested on any scales and if more than the allowed amount of variance in scales is found the dealer is fined. For second offence the fine is made larger and the dealer's license is revoked. Under this act, Bailey, of Indianapolis, was fined and his license was taken away. Bailejr is the largest coal dealer in Indianapolis and bad a lurge quantity of coal in his yards, and the kick he made was something huge—it was even colossal. lie was beaten in the lower court but appealed to the Supreme court.

There it was decided that he could not be made guilty of violation of law when none existed on the subject. The fact was developed that there was up to that time no state law fixing the number of pounds of coal to the bushel. The next legislature promptly passed a law on the subject.

As eighty pounds makes just twentyfive bushels to the ton, thus admitting of easier calculation, and as that is the standand of several other states, the legislature fixed on eighty pounds.

Coal should be ordered here, as in the east, by the ton, but where it is ordered by the bushel eighty pounds should be everywhere taken as the standard as it now is according to law.

The Late Mrs. Jewett. From Wednesday's Daily.

Tuesday's GAZETTE contained the telegraphic announcement of the death at Cornwall on the Hudson of Mrs. M. A. Jewett. The remains will be brought to this city for interment. Mrs. Jewett and her husband, the late Rev. Jewett, were identified with the history of Terre Haute for more than forty years.

Her maiden name was Mary A. Moire. She survived her husband eight years, lie died at Paris, Texas, in 1874. In the course of a funeral sermon preached in 1874 over the Rev. Mr. Jewett, Mr. Howe, thfen pastor of the Congregational church said: '•This young man was pursuing his studies in a fai off eastern home in the state which gave birth to all three ot the pastors who have ministered in this church and in the same county from which the present pastor came. His studies completed he looked to the far west thinking the Lord had called bim thither to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ. This young man traveling on horseback stops at the village tavern. He it soon known as a preacher. The news spreads through the little village on the river bank and he must preach".

From that sermon preach* din '34 came his engagement here as pastor. For forty years he remaiued here. As with all good wives the hibtory of Mrs Jewett was indissolubly apart of her husband's. Each lived blameless earnest Christian lives accomplishing much in their respective spheres to make this abetter and brighter world in which to live.
