NEW YoRK, Feb. 2S.--An improve
ment was particularly noticeable In the
stock market yesterday where specuia-
ton was buoyant and the entire list
active and transactions on a scale OF I'M
mense magnitude both at the Board aud

favorable for prolongation of the pre-
sent season of activity as The principal
holders of stocks are the various ciiques

loans made at low charges and are able
to move up their specialties to any point
they may desire. These amount how
ever practically to simple exchange of
shares between the various combinations,
there being IS heretofore marked dearth
of outside orders with the prospect of a
still further diminution in case of con-
tinued upward turn. The only positive
benefit derived from the present rise ac-
crues to the brokers who buy and sell on
commission.

The Coal FamIne-Public Schools
Closed for Want of uel.
There is no noticeable change in the
prices of coal. The operators still pro-
test their innocence of conspiracy, but
are determined to resist the miners to the
bitter end. The middle men have made
immense sums on the rise, and confidently
expect to realize more. 1t is stated that
1000 tons are on the other side of North
river. Bituminous coal is $3.50 per ton in
Newark, and $l2 in Patterson. The
public schools, which have been closed
for want of fuel, will be opened to-day.

PARIS, Feb. 2S.--World special.
rible scenes are now enacting. Vast
crowds fill the streets, committing many
acts of violence. The people made an
attack on some police, with the intent to
kill them. One was beaten to death,
another hanged and two wounded. Crowds
surround the statue of Srssbourg, which
an orator proposes to remove, lest it be
destroyed by the German savages. The
excitement is on the increase, and the
Rationale Gsrde of Belville and Mont
martre have resolved to remain under
arms. Regiments of the line have been
hooted and pelted by the populace. A
great body of Rationale Gsrdes, fully
armed, marched to the Champ Elysees,
where they are now eamped, swearing to
attack the Germans. The heads of Theirs
and Favre are demanded. The gardens
of the Tuilleries are occupied by the in
fantry of the line.
Accounts from Belville and Montmar-
tire represent horrible scenes occurring at
those stations.

TRIAL OF ROTARY STEAM FIRE-ENGINE.
On Saturday morning one of the Silsby
rotary steam fre-engines, manufactured at
Seneca, n. Y, was exhibited OH the Basin
bank, IN the presence of Chief Engineer
Ainslie, the members of the Council Com
mittec on the Fire Department, and mis-
Cellancous crowd of spectators. 1t afforded
the finest display of the kind ever witnessed
in Richmond, throwing q stream through
1S-inch nozzle, against the wind and up
hill, ISL feet; through IL inch nozzle 225
feet, and three streams horizontally 1856
feet, and another over the top Of the smoke
stack of Snyder & Irby's foundry, which is
about 100 feet high. The engine is u model
of beautiful mechanism, and worked with
an ease that seemed to charm the members
of the Richmond Fire Department, who
frankly confessed that the " Independent"
(as the New York engine was christened)
was far ahead of A and c..
The Council and the 6remen are indebted
to Captain Ainslie for this interesting exhi-
bition of the progress made In steam fire.
engines. Learning that the independent
had been bought for the city of Columbia,
S. c., he took prompt steps to stop it here
on its way South. The result was, as stated,
most satisfactory; but we feel sure that just
as good an engine can be made in Rich
mond, and If one is needed the job of its
manufacture ought TO be given to our own
mechanics. The fact that it costs a little
more here should have no weight, when we
remember that in this case the money will
be kept at home, while if northern firm
gets the contract not q cent of the four or
five thousand dollars expended will return
to Richmond taxpayers.

SAD ACCIDENT ON Mont BLANCA COR
respondent from Switzerland writes of re-
cent fatal disasters in the vicinity Of Mont
Blanc:
"a gentleman, with his bride and lady
friend, made the ascension to the Grand
Mulcts, which is six thousand tive hundred
feet above the Valley of Chamounix. The
day was so fine that when there, urged by
the ladies, whom, with a guide, he left be-
hind him, he started to make the ascension
of Mont Blanc. Shortly after he lett them
becoming cold, all three went out for 4
walk, tied together, as they always are, for
greater security in the mountain eXcur-
sions.
"Walking upon the ice and snow crust
the guide offered his arm to the wife,
who had hardly accepted it when, owing
by the heat, or cracking from the
weight, or the formation of crevasse,
both the guide and wife disappeared,
the friend only escaping their fate by the
breaking of the rope. Disappearing thus
instantly in a place which did not seem
dangerous, they have never been seen nor
found, though eight Of the guides, at the
risk of their lives, went down into the Gre
vase sixty feet-in fact, made attempts
until the Government forbade any more
rs the lives of others were pcrilled for those
that had been lost.
"rhe lady who was left screamed, and
remained on the spot until the gentleman
returned to find that he had lost his wife
and bride in the enjoyment of full health
only half IN hour previously. Such are the
dangers of ascending Mont Blanc, where
no amount of foresight or experience can
foretell the accidents which may happen at
any time with loss of life to some or all of
these engaged.

DISCOVERY OF GLACIERS ON THE PACIFIC
CoAsT.-[From the New York Evening
Post.l-A the regular meeting of the Con-
necticut Academy, in New haven, on We'd
nesday evening last, an informal but highly
important communication: was made by
Mr.. Clarence King concerning some recent
discoveries upon the famous peaks of the
Pacific coast. Mount Shasta, Mount Rainier,
and Mount Hood. 1t would be hardly fair,
without his authority, to attempt to give 4
minute account of these observations, but
there can be no improperly in reporting
that during the last autumn Mr.. King and
his associates, in three parties, discovered
the existence Of active glaciers where they
have never before been noticed, on the
northern slopes of Mount Shasta, in Call
fornia, as we'll as on Mount Rainier, In
Washington, and Mount Hood, in Oregon.
Another season he hopes to pursue these
inquiries even as far north as Mount ST..
Ellis.
This is the first instance in which, within
all the territory of the United States (Alas-
ka, of course, eXcepted,) "live glaciers"
have been found, though in the East, as
we'll us in the West, there are 80 many
indications Of glacial action in former
geological epochs. The glaciers now de-
tected ION Mount Shasta, at least,) have
hitherto escaped the notice Of those who
have climbed the.peak, because their ascent
has been made upon the southern slope.
Mr.. King, by his geological researches in
the West, had been led to suspect the eX-
lstence Of active glaciers, and as part
of the work of exploration which be is
doing for the United States Government,
under Maior-General Humphreys, chief of
the engineer corps, he planned, last sum-
mer, "a understanding party" organ
lied his company, made the ascents on
the northern instead Of the southern
slopes, and has been rewarded by the bril-
liant discoveries now recorded. He himself
went up Mount Shasta with Mr.. Clark,
while Mr.. Emmons and Mr.. Wilson were
exploring Mount Rainier, and Mr.. Hague
went up Mount Hood.
These gentlemen are all members Of the
Government party organized for the survey
of the forteth parallel, and are now in. New
Haven working up the results of their
Iabors in the field. Mr.. James 7. Gardner,
next to MIR. King in the conduct of the
survey, has been for many months past at
work in the preparation Of the topograph-
ical maps for publication. The report of
this expedition on the mining industry in
Nevada and Colorado, by Mr.. James D.
Hague, mining engineer, is nearly ready to
be published.

"About sixty miles north of Galena, near

much that they drink it almost immode-

licious; and under any circumstances,
whether you are hot or cold, the drinking
or it produces perspiration, with no un-
pleasant effects afterWard. The spring has
no apparent outlet or inlet. 1t is probably
sixty feet wide, and is covered with white
froth or foam, which, upon close examine
tion, appears like cream Of tartar on awine-

not arrived at without much discussion,
and many votes were taken. Finally, the
vote stood as follows:
For one.third to the colored school: The
whole committee.
For one-third to the Virginia Military In
stitute Messrs. Pendleton, Beasley, Mas
sey, and Taylor Of Loudoun.
For one-third to the University of Virgil
