'Death of the "Coal King."
Pittsburg recently attended the
funeral of one of her best known citi
zens, Mr. William II. Brown, the so-
called "Coal King." Beginning life
in'm humble way, he accumulated
wealth and extended his business no-
til at his death he was worth more
than $5,000,000, and was oue of the
largest miners and shippers of coal in
the world. Besides those boats which
he hired, his own fleet amounted to
more than 1,200 boats and barges,
an J were scattered from Pittsburg to
New Orleans. lie is said to have car
ried the larger part of his immense
business "in bis head, and was in
many respects a remarkable man.
But," attempting to do too much,
Nature took her revenge. His brain

Reclaiming Zuyder Zee.
The Dutch are ambitions of fature
conquests from the sea. They have
determined to sound and survey the
Zuyder Zee with reference to diking
and draining it. 1 he estimated cost
is near ninety million dollars. The
area reclaimed would be over 480,000
acres, or 750 square miles, making it
about two-thirds as large as Rhode
Island. Ihe value of this land would,
at a moderate estimate, make a clear
profit to the State of two hundred
millions of dollars. The Zuyder Zee
has an average depth of fifteen feet.
Steam machinery of 10,000 horse
power could expel the water in two
years. The whole time necessary for
the completion of the work is set
down at about fifteen years.

Charlotte Observer of Sunday:
The North Carolina train due here at 8 A.
M. did not arrive yesterday until 7 P. M.
The cause was that freight train No. 10 left
the switch open at Lexington as it passed
that point Friday night, and the passenger
tram (No. 3) ran into it. The engine was
thrown clear down the embankment, a dis
tance of 15 feet, and, is badly wrecked.
The forward trucks of the express car were
thrown down the embankment also, but
none of the other cars were thrown from
the track. The engineer Mr. Pollard, is
slightly hurt.

VVe have heard various rumors about

St. George & St. Andrew's Athletic Club
from the present rate ($5) to anywhere from
$ 10 to $2.j. Inquiry elicits the fact that the
fee has not yet been increased, although a
resolution to that effect was introduced and
laid over under the rules, for action at the
meeting to be held to-morrow night. ' In
any event, the proposition is to increase it
to $10 only, and this in justice to the old
members, who have paid dues through the

WILMINGTON,
Magistrate' Court. .
Before Justice YanAmringe, yesterday,
A. T. Harrison was arraigned on the charge
of-trespassing upon the property of Dr. J;
E. Winants. Defendant was found guilty
and ordered to pay a fine of $10 and costs,
upon which he appealed to the Superior
Court and was required to give bond in the
sum of $100 for his appearance.
J. T. Willey, master of the Brig B. In
ginac, was arraigned on a peace warrant
sworn out by John Fulschner, one of his
seamen. The prosecutor withdrew tbe
warrant and was ordered to pay the costs,
in default of which he was committed to
jail.
Another peace warrant against Capt.
Willey, and one peace warrant and a war
rant for assault and battery against S. E.
Elliott, mate of the vessel, issued at the in
stance of the same party, met with the same
result as above. The witnesses summoned
by the prosecutor, it seems, afterwards de
serted tbe vessel and did not appear to
testify in his behalf.
Willey Williams was up before Justice
Cassidey on the charge of trespassing upon
the property of Benj. Phillips Defendant
was found guilty aud ordered to pay a fine
of $5 and costs, from which decision be
appealed to the Superior Court and was re
quired to enter into a justified bond in the
sum of $300 for his appearance.

There are four Sundays in Advent. These
are intended as a preparation for the com
memoration of the advent of Christ. On
the first Sunday, prayers are offered that tbe
works of darkness may be cast away; on
the second, thanks are returned for the first
means of grace, the Holy Scriptures; on the
third, for the ministry, and on the fourth.
prayers for the more direct interposition of
God's great might. There are always four
Sundays in Advent, the first being that
nearest St. Andrew's day, either before or
after, as the case may be. -
To-day (Tuesday) is set down in the cal
endar as St Andrew's Day, and joint ser
vices of the congregation of St. James',
St. John's and St Paul's Episcopal
Churches, of this city, will be held at St.
James' Church this morning at 11 o'clock.
Ft. Andrew the apostle is the "patron
saint of Scotland. He was first a disciple
of St. John the Baptist, and appears to
have been the first to follow Christ. For
this reason it is supposed that the place of
honor has been given to him in the Angli
can Prayer book, where he comes first of
all those commemorated. But little is
known of him, although he is believed to
hdve suffered martyrdom nt Patra, in
Greece, A. D., 70, by being crucified on a
cross in the form of an X.
St. Andrew's Day is usually celebrated
by Scotchmen in all parts of the world.
TT1U Seek Another station.
Many will regret to learn that Rev. J. T.
Gibbs, the highly esteemed Pastor of Fifth

on account of declining health to seek a

A great convenience to the public will
be the 'Ten Cent Express" which Mr. St.
John Fillyaw has just established in our
city. For the trifling sum indicated he
will take small packages of any description
from stores and other places of business
and deliver them promptly at their destina
tion. Such lines are in vogue in other large
cities, and have beeu found to pay, and
why not here?
Ifledlta'tlons Disturbed.
A momentary excitement was caused at
the First Baptist Church Sunday nignt Dy a
Mr. King being.takcn with a fit during the
sermon. The afflicted gentleman was re
moved for medical attention and a couple
of verses of a familiar hymn were then sung
to calm the agitation of tbe congregation
and draw back their attention to the theme:

she had been drinking and acting very dis

Attempted Burglary.
An attempt was made on Sunday night
to burglarize the residence of Dr. W. W.
Harriss, on Fifth, between Dock and Orange
streets. The family were aroused by the
loud and excited hayings of a bull-dog on
the nremises. and it was afterwards dis-
covered mat me iaituiui animal naa oeen
. - . ... . . mm
severely CUt about the neck and back, the
wounds being no doubt inflicted by a knife
in the hands of the would-be-burglar out of
revenge for his interference or with the
view of silencing him. At all events the
thief was frightened from his purpose, and
it is supposed the noise of the dog and the
consequent awakening of the family, com
bined, had the effect of precipitating bis re
treat. . .
The Street Lamps.
The lamps in many places throughout
the city are in very bad condition; and
have been so for so long a time that the
memory of man scarcely runneth to the
contrary. Since the last meeting of the
Aldermen we have been . groping our way
about at night with some degree of hope
that a day ot improvement in this direction
was at hand, for a resolution was adopted
at that meeting authorizing the Mayor to
advertise for proposals for keeping all the
lamps in the city in order for one j'ear. Up
to the date cf this writing, however, we
have hoped in vain, for we hear of nothing
whatever having been done in the matter.
We do not recollect what the arrangement
for this purpose has been in the past, but
if it is capable of improvement by the
-method proposed, we trust the authority
extended by th : resolution will be exercised.
