NATURAL CoKE.-This singular mineral,
although well known to many of our citi-
zens as a popular article OF fuel, IS de-
serving Of our notice, inasmuch as 1t pro-
misses to become one of the most impor-
tant products Of our neighboring coal-held.
It's formation peculiar to this section,
never naVlng been found, we believe, In
any other locality. Laying in immediate
proximity to the coal veins, 1t appears to
have been transformed to its present con-
dition by volcanic action, retaining the
original qualities of the coal, but in more
compact and solidifled form.
1t is found principally in the northern
edge of the coal-field, and is being ex-
tensively mined by the Carbon Hill Coal
Company, by the National Coal Mining
Company, and others in that section.
Efforts are being made to introduce 1t
into this and neighboring markets as sub
stitute for anthracite and other Goals, ex-
periments having shown it to be applicable
to almost any purpose for which fuel Is re-
quired. We understand that arrangements
have been made by those engaged in
mining it for regular and reliable supply,
and we think manufacturers and consul
mers generally would do we'll to give it
their attention. During the present win
ter we have used the coke Of both the
above companies in our engine, heating
our building, and in our private houses,
and find it fully equal to the best anthra-
cite for all these purposes. 1t is, more
over, emphatically home production, and
is for this reason deserving of encourage
ment.

THE CRY LIMITs.-The bill for the ex-
tension of the limits Of the city of Rich
mond was before the House of Delegates
Yesterday, and was briefly discussed until
the occurrence of the order of the day
upon the bill for the completion of the
Covington and Ohio railroad thrust it aside.
Mr.. White had moved an amendment to
require the consent Of the people of Hen
rico and the city of Richmond before the
law should take effect. In the course of
the debate it was stated by Mr.. Evans that
he had been informed by the member from
Page, Mr.. Dawson, that the limits of the
city had been twice extended-a fact we
were not aware of. 1t was certainly prior
to 1882. He remarked that in neither case
was the vote Of the county or the city re-
quired as q condition precedent to the eX-
tension. We imagine the bill will pass with
out Mr., Whites amendment, which would
be manifestly so completely defeat
of it that no house disposed to pass it
would put such an amendment upon it..
Every one knows that suburbans are ever
opposed to the extension Of the limits of
cities; and every one knows that for order,
health, peace, and the general welfare, it
Is absolutely necessary lndt Clty Iulls
should be extended to include densely
settled suburbs that are without municipal
government, and that are ever opposing
difficulties in the way of police and health
regulations for the protection of the larger
population of the cities. So that the ne
cessity being admitted, it would be folly to
deny that it must override the opposition
which every one knows will be made to
the extension. 1t must be done without
any voting at the polls upon it, or it never
will be done. So it has always been.

MEETING OF THE TOBACCO TRADE.-A
meeting Of the tobacco trade of Richmond
was held at the Tobacco Exchange yester-
day.
Mr.. E. o. Noting was appointed chair
man and Mr.. Walter X. Martin secretary.
Mr.. r. A. Mayo read to the meeting the
proceedings of the convention. We have
published the proceedings as reported each
day in the Washington papers, and it would
therefore be useless to repeat them.
On motion of Mr.. Barksdale, the report
was received, and the thanks Of the meet
ing returned to the delegation for the able
manner in which they represented the in
terests of the Richmond tobacco trade in
the convention. The meeting then ad-
journed.
The committee speak in high terms OF
the courteous manner in which they were
received in Washington, and of the hospi-
tality they enjoyed there.

THE JAIL LAFFAIR.-Henry Chelsea and
Henry Davis, negroes, were arraigned be-
fore the Mayor yesterday to answer the
charge of assaulting, with intent to kill,
Mr.. Frederick Hall, at the city Jail, on the
night of the I'd instant. Davis, the negro
who was shot by Mr.. William Hall, had
almost entirely recovered from his wound.
Two negroes, John Clark and William
Robertson, who were confined in Jail at
the time Of the affair, appeared as wit
nesses, and testified each substantially to
the same facts as have been already given.
1t was evident that the blow given Mr..
Hall was intended to kill him, from the ex-
clamation of Davis after he had struck
him-"We have fixed Hall all right now |;
come out here you sons Of b-sw Chelsea
was certainly the one who threw the
blanket over his head.
Davis and Chelsea were remanded for
further trial.
