TIE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC RAILROAD.
This new road has made good commence ent
in running passengers and is already doing a
paying business. In selecting officers and en-
rlOyes the company have been singularly fortu-
nate In obtaining 1.-THE right men for the right
places" and particularly is this so in regard TO
the appointment OF Mr.. o. y. Stevens, formerly
superintendent of the Washington and Alex an
tria railroad, who takes the position OF general
agent, and Mr.. Boone the freight agent at the
general freight depot of both roads on Mary
land avenue, between 9Th and 10th streets
During the early part OF the last week the en-
gines and cars being new there were some de-
lays on account of hot boxes, but il may be ex-
pected with each successive train there will be
less occasions for delays from any cause. The
full compliment of engines, cars, &e., has not
been delivered, but will be in a few weeks. and
1t Is probable that additional trains will then be
placed on the road. 1t is contemplated at no
distant day to have a double track the entire
distance, and doubtless by the time the Balti-
more tunnel is completed the double track will
lie II running order.

NEWS FROM ABROAD.

Havana, March 9.-The I" City of Mexi-
coz has arrived from Vera Cruz, and
brings late advices. Riots are occurring at
Gaudalajara, caused by forced levies oil
troops. There has been a formidable
pronounciamento in the State of Hidalgo.
Jealousies are reported among the revolu-
tionary leaders. 1t is stated that General
Rocha sends false reports Of his movements
to the government. The removal of the
seat of Government to Vera Cruz is being
discussed. The government there will be
better posted to receive assistance from the
United States in case Of necessity. Juarez
is confident.

customs inspectors, whom they held until
1000 head of cattle were stolen and
crossed, when the prisoners were released,
and the band returned to the Mexican side.
Gomez Portugal has been compelled to evac-
uate Agnos Calientes. The rebel chiefs Do
nate, Guerredo, and Martinez are quarreling
with Trevino, Noranjo and others, and their
commands have separated. Diaz has ar
rived on the northern frontier, and assumed
command. Juarez has two millions in his
treasury, which probably insures his sue
cess, as the rebels have nothing. Felix
Diaz was killed by mob with clubs at
Oaxaca. The orders from Washington for
bidding clearances to ports held by rebels
causes excitement among the merchants
and depression among the revolutionsts,
as it stops the coast trade.

LOCAL NOTES.

Tobacco meeting tonight.
Yesterday, Sunday, March 10th, was
mid-lent.
"A tobacco meeting will be held at the
old African church tonight.
-Peyton Wise, Esq.,, has resigned the
captaincy of the Light Infantry Blues.
The regular semi-monthly meeting OF
the City Council will be held this after
noon.
old Dominion Lodge No. a, Indepen-
dent Order OF Mechanics, will meet this
evening at Frayser's Gallery.
"A little son of DR.. Deane, while play
ing on the steps of St. Alban's Hall, Sat
urday evening, fell and injured himself
quite severely.
The colored people who depend upon
tobacco factories for employment are invit-
ed to attend the public meeting at the old
African church at o'clock tonight.
The committee of Irish citizens, appoint
ed at recent mass meeting to make ar
rangements for the celebration of st. Pat
rlck's day, will make their report tonight.
No route of march has yet been decided
upon.
Another snow storm opened upon us
this forenoon. The large flakes fell thick
and fast, speedily covering up all sublunary
things. The snow has been falling for
several hours, and unlike the tempest Of the
I'd instant, makes no great blow about it.
!. -Stanberry & Atkinson's horse, now
that he has got his hand in, runs away on
every proper and improper occasion. He
had another frolic this morning, and ac-
the further demolition of the
delivery wagon. He will keep on till he
gets his foot in it.
"A portion Of the brick wall, sur
by an iron railing, along the
Ninth street frontage of the house ooccu-
pied by Walter D. Blair & Co., corner of
Main and Ninth streets, feel down, during
night, crashing in against the
main wall Of the house. The basement
and doors sustained some dam
age.
Six OF eight convicts were employed
this forenoon in sweeping the twigs and
other trash from the sidewalks around Cap
ltol Square. Last week, when these walks
were covered with snow and ice to the
depth of several inches, rendering them al
most impossible, not zebra was to be seen
about them. 1t is well to keep the walks
clear of twigs, but it would show a more
earnest regard for the comfort of our citi-
zens if they were kept clear of the more
serious obstruction of snow and ice, and
slush also.

CoAL.-The first coal ever mined in the
United States was dug near Richmond, Va.
Bituminous coal was mined there as early
as 100, and in 1775 was extensively used
in the vicinnity. During the Revolution a
Richmond foundry employed this coal in
making shot and she'll for the use of the
Continental forces. From local celebrity
it gradually obtained national renown,
and in 1889 it was being sent to Philadel-
phia, New York, and even to Boston.
Our citizens have had abundant oppor-
tunity, during the present and past seasons,
to realize the vast change of circumstances
since 1888. Instead ofsupplying ourselves
with coal from the immense deposits with
in our own borders, we now depend upon
other and distant fields and energy and
capital for prime necessity.
This is all wrong, as must be acknowl-
edged by all who have the interest of our
city and State at heart. 1t is time for the
capitalists of Richmond to throw off the
lethargy which is SO dangerous, and sieze
the opportunities now offered to better our
condition. "There is tide in the affairs
of men which, taken at the flood, leads on
to fortune" 1t needs no extra shrewd-
ness to perceive the vast advantages which
are now presenting themselves to the live
men of Richmond. Let them take hold
and secure for our city the benefits which
will accrue from the development of the
coal, iron and other mineral deposits Of
Virginia.

This will be good news for his many friends.
There is now on exhibition at the Jew
elry store of G. r. Harding stone, shaped
like horse-chestnut, which was found at
the Manchester fishery in 1882, by Will

found it weighed one pound, and was used
as pound weight. This day, March II /,

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT,
VNHE EUREKA CORN PLANTER.
THIS NEW CORN PLANTER.


THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by II. M Smith s. CO., accom-
plishes what has always been desideratum in
Corn Planters, namely: absolute certainty as to
the quantity of seed planted, and as to the dis
tance between the hills.
All planters, depending upon brush to keep
back the corn, are liable to variation, as any
press of the seed causes the brush to yield, and
increases the quantity dropped.
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH.
A new and simple device supersedes the neces-
sity of it, and insures ABSOLUTE REGIJ-
LARITY in the number of grains deposited
IT is THE BEST CORN PLANTER IN USE

opinion of all who have used it

Our Girls.

Between the eras of swaddling bands and
corsets and criaoline, there used to be a
period of a few years when arms and limbs
could climb trees and scale heights like their
progenitors mentioned by Darwin, and mus
Gle, sinew and blood bid fair to hold their
own. The little bareheaded, tanned girl of
ten years, astride bridleless and saddle
less horse, or padding down the stream on
raft of her own construction, had sea-

thought enough if she grew plump and
rosy, was "early to bed and early

evening State 5lunraal.

WE understand that some Petersburg
Democratic politicians are in the city, and
have been quite active to-day in the effort
to get special registration law through
the General Assembly, under the opera
tions of which the Democracy can carry
that city in the approaching municipal
election. As we already have a general
registration law, applicable to all portions
of the State alike, we are forced to conclude
that this private affair is gotten up for the
purpose of fraud.
