Tie Weekly Tribune, now more than thirty
years old, has kept up with the progress OF
the age in Improvement and i'll enterprise
1t devotes large share of its columns to
Agriculture as the most essential and general
of human pursuits. 1t employs the ables;
and most successful cultivators to set forth
in brief. clear essays their practical views OF
the Farmers work. 1t reports public dis
cussions which ciucidate that work; gathers
from every source agricultural news, the re-
ports of the latest experiments, the stories
of the latest successes and failures, and what
ever may tend at once to better y griculture,
and to commend it as the first and most inn
portant OF progressive Arts, based on natti-
raj science.
There are hundreds of thousands engaged
in diverse pursuits who own or rent a
place." and give some portion of their
time to its culture and improvement. TIE
Weekly Tribune shows them how to make the
most of their roods and their hours, both by

CINCINNATI.
Meeting OF Coal Dealers.

CINCINNATI, April Sat a meeting
of the principal coal dealers Of Cincin.
natl, held tonight, to take into consid.
Grafton the high price Of coal, as estab.
lished by the Pittsburgh coal men on
this run, and to prevent being charged
exorbitant prices in the future, it was
resolved to form permanent organiza
ton. The subject was referred to a
committee to report plan. 1t was
further resolved that in their opinion
no coal should be received at their
landings until the price had first been
established to the satisfaction OF all
parties.
Owing 10 the heavy rains to day, it
is reported that many Of the railroads
are badly broken, and bridges, culverts
and portions OF the tracks swept away.
1t is reported that bridge on the Little
Mama has been carried away. A land
slide occurred on the Louisville and
Cincinnati railroad, but the extent Of
the casualties are not yet known, the
telegraph lines being prostrated in
various directions. The storm has been
severe and the probabilities are that
much damage is done to nearly all the
railroads centering in this city.

ENGLAND.
The Alabama Claims.

LONDON, April S-Evening-lt is re
ported here in well informed Govern
ment circles that the Foreign Office has
dispatches from Minister Thornton at
Washington to the effect that at a recent
interview between President Grant and
himself, on the subject OF the Alabama
controversy, the former expressed
strong personal desire to withdraw the
claims for consequential damages, and
thus adjust the point at issue between
the two governments. but declared that
he was not sufficiently master Of the
situation to urge the adoption of this
course but must act in accordance with
the expressed sentiment Of the nation.
This report is reviewed as indicating
a growing disposition on the part Of
the Washington Cabinet to adjust the
question OF indirect claims in manner
which may prove satisfactory to the
British Government.

with much satisfaction to the extraor-

power which has already been acquired,

to the Fatherland, and will prove a
guarantee for the peace OF Europe.

How n Waterman was Foot ed by o
Handsome Woman.

Frederick Fisher is q middle-aged
Newarker, who has for some time past
been in the employ of George Kre'
mentz & Co., manufacturing jewellers,
OF No. IA Oliver street, Newark, New
Jersey. He is not a jeweler, but has
been engaged as sort OF factory
Handy Andy. A part OF his business
was to sleep in the factory and watch it
o nights. On Tuesday night he went
on duty as usual quite early. Not long
after, as it is reliably stated, he was
visited by strange woman, well dress
ed and Of prepossessing appearance,
but not over scrupulous in her deport-
ment. She induced Fred to take q
walk with her. They were gone from
nine till eleven o'clock. At
that hour he returned alone, aud
found that the factory had been burst
into by burglars and the large safe
blown open, evidently with nitro gly
cerine, and robbed OF handsome chsins
anL bracelets worth from $1,000 TO 5000.
No one in the neighborhood appears to
have heard the report or seen anything
OF the robbers, not even the lynxeyed
and proverbially vigilant o. police.
Thursday morning in vacant lot near
the factory, one Of the safe drawers was
found, in which were chains worth 5000.
A lot Of professional burglars tools were
also found near by. The police are
cudgelling their brains over the affair
and promise to hunt down the robbers
There is considerable mystery about
the matter, which the police, however,
may unravel. 1t was two hours after
the discovery before Fisher informed
Mr.. Krementz Of the occurrence.
