Bsy~ Let those interested compare
the mean cobble pavement on Morris
avenue to the beautiful floor pavement
laid on South Broad street, and then
let us see the man who prefers the lay
ing of stone to the celebrated wooden
pavement, on which both horses noise
lessly glide. Now that the wooden
pavement has been so satisfactorily
tested here we may be allowed to pre-
dict that hereafter there will be less
stone paving done in this city.
No wonder that real estate in the
southern part of the Eighth ward is
creeping up" Owners of property
in that locality, are doing all in their
power to improve, now offer Through

ARREST OF GEORGE Dixon. - We
learn that George Dixon was arrested
at Waterbury, Connecticut, on Tues
day night, by two New York police
officers. 1t appears that after escaping
from State Prison, in July last, he roans
ed about, finally bringing up at Wa
terbury, where he has since been work
ing steadily as carpenter. He was
in bed when arrested, and made des-
perate resistance, but was finally sub
dued by half a dozen officers, and at
last accounts was in custody, awaiting
the requisition of Gov Randolph.
P. S. Since the above was in type,
we learn that Dixon has been delivered
to our officials, and that he passed
through our city in the 1915 train for
Trenton, where he now is doubtless in
safe custody.

held last evening. After the transaction
of the usual business, committee was
appointed to wait upon Mr. Isaac Va n

appropriate remarks, presented him
with beautiful white-cap and belt.

their regard. His remarks were well

Bag The attempted coal swindle is
likely to prove a failure, and we are
glad of it. Instead of the price advanc-
ing 81 per ton at time when the mar
ket is overstocked and the consumption
fully half less than in the winter
months, it should be on the decline.
Consumers can greatly aid in knocking
the bottom out of this fraud, by exer-
cising little care in the use OF what
fuel is now necessary. Fifty tons per
week might easily be saved in city
like ours and economy should become
the general rule for a few weeks the
coal operators might be taught lesson
that would prove of great future value
to consumers.

CoRoNER's INQURsT.-A man named
John WEIGH, residing in the Second
ward, died suddenly on Tuesday night,
and various rumors of foul play" &c.
having been set afoat, induced Coroner
Braun to summon an inquest, and hold
q port mortem examination. Drs. j.
S. Martin and L. W. Oakley, at the re-
quest of the jury, yesterday afternoon,
made port norton, and subsequently
gave the result of their examination to
the jury, which was in session at Simon
Arnold's National Hall, on First street.
Both Surgeons testified that deceased
had had natural causes enough to have
produced death, which was created by
general congestion of the liver and
spleen and that the medicine prescrib-
ed would not have either fastened or
caused death, if taken as directed.
DR.. Martin was particularly severe on
druggists who have no legal right to
prescribe medicines, and yet do it with
the greatest impunity daily.
Mrs. WEIGH, widow of the deceased,
was next examined. She firmly
declined being sworn, alleging that
she had trouble enough without being
pestered with the forms of the law.
The Coroner, after q wonderful display
of patience, elected the following in
formation :
Mr.. WEIGH, who was q deck-hand
Oh the Kill Won Kull, on his return
from his labor ON last Saturday even
ing, complained to her of feeling I'M
well, and seemed to suffer with pains
in his side, and was considerably chok-
ed up. Late in the evening, deceased
dispatched her to the druggists for a
quantity of salts and SIENNA, which he
took on her return home. Next morn
ing, Sunday deceased still complain
ed, when medical assistance was sum-
moned, and certain medicines prescrib
ed. Deceased,s however, continued to
grow worse, and about midnight on
Tuesday, Mrs. WEIGH gave him an eme-
tic, las we understand shortly after
taking which her husband expired.
The following verdict was rendered
by the jury:
"That the said John WEIGH, accord
ing to the evidence before us, died
from natural causes, and we do find
that no blame attaches to DIR. Brosnan,
by reason of the said death"
The funeral of deceased took place
this morning, and was attended by the
Hibernian Benevolent Society. The
interment took place in the Catholic
Cemetery.

gaA. A horse, driven to a dirt-cart,
near the depot this morning, strange to
say, undertook to initiate fashionable
horse, and in his ungainly Frances,
rather OVER did the matter, landing on
his back, with his head where his rear
should properly have been. The dri-
yer was in terrible quandary, but by
the assistance of outsiders, was enabled
to get the old "hoss" on his legs, after
which he exclaimed ha, you old bugger,
feeling no doubt, somewhat crest fallen
