then he cannot fully exercise the powers
of his office.
The new railroad cuttings about Ber

posits of odd and rare minerals. They
are continually visited by mineralogists
and students from scientific schools.
During sudden changes of tempera,

become dangerous. A rapid rise of the
thermometer will sometimes increase
the pressure 100 per cent, and produce
violent explosion.
The Indianapolis libel case sgainst

Americans are not welcome at severs

that if a house gets the reputation "of
being preferred by American it is
avoided by the English. Nv, the
American patronage is to be had in
sufficient numbers only, during a few
summer months, whereas the English
hold3 good the year round. Naturally
the, hotel people prpfer the English

suits them, they manage to be full.

FIRST WARD DEMOCRATS.
Cast Nfght'a Rally Organiza
tion Col. E. JO. Hall's Speech.
The Democrats of the First Ward
turned out en masse last night and
Brooklyn Hall was crowded. Mr. G.
S. Willis called the meeting to order
and Mr. W. H. Straus3 was made
temporary chairman. Col. E. D. Hall
was present and, upon being introduced
to the assemblage, made a capital
speech, full of good, sound, practical
common sense advice in which he ur
ged the most perfect and thorough
organization. His speech was listened
to with profound attention, broken only
by the rounds of applause with which
he was frequently greeted. At the con
clusion of his remarks a per
manent organization was effected
by electing Mr. W. II. Strauss
temporary chairman, to be the -permanent
President. His election was unan
imous. Mr. John Barry was mnde
Vice President and Mr. George S. Wil
lis was made Secretary and Treasurer
by acclamation. It was -voted lhat a
committtee of five, to be selected by the
President, be appointed to draft a gov
ernment of the organization. There
was then an enrollment of membersr
after which the meeting adjourned sub
ject to 4he call of the President. The
meeting was characterized by earnest
nesi and there was a manifest determi
nation that the Democrats of the First
Ward shall do their whole duty in the
campaign.

to-day.

City Court.
Amelia Bradley and Eliza Nixon,
both colored, were brought before the
Mayor this morning charged with dis
orderly conduct. In the cases of Ame
lia a fine of $3 was considered suffi.
cient to satisfy the city's wounded dig,
nity, while $5 was not considered too
much for the more obstreperous Eliza,
but as neither had the requisite num
ber of shekels they were sent below to
mourn and pineJn a dungeon cell.
A Kindly Act.
In consequence of the - serious sick
ness of Mrs. A. Weill, the Cornet Cor-
cert Club did not practice in their band
room last night. As it was their regu
lar time for practice, however. Mine
host Schloss. of the Commercial Hotel,
very kindly tendered them the use of
his parlors: an act of courtesy which
they appreciated and accepted, in conse
quence of which the dwellers on Mark

music." "

Mr. John B. Watson, of Salisbury,
brother to Mr. A. W. Watson, has re
moved to the ' city with his family.
where he will hereafter reside. He
has, we understand, opened a factory fy
the manufacture of brooms and mat
tresses on Fourth street, between" Red

porarily located but expects to open a
depot down town this Fall. Mr. Watson
has been engaged in this business for
many years past his brooms having been
