SUpERsTGTGoN-Th Richmond corrcspon-
dence of the Petersburg Iudex says: There
was Singular case of superstition here yeSter-
day. A colored woman standing on bridge
running from Tredegar to Browns Island, was
seen to throw key containing something then
unknown into the river, which at that point
runs very rapidly. Those who saw her excited
ly called the police and she was arrested on a
charge of iufauticide. The investigation re-
vealed the fact that she had lately been subject
to spasms, ADD a friend suggested to her that
she was tricked at the same time calling her
attention to four nails driven into the door-sil
in a SUSPICIOUS manner. Satisfied that they
were the cause of her trouble, she began to re-
move them, and in doing so her hand touch, d
the centre nail and was instantly paralyzed.
She then consulted a conjure doctor who d.
rected the nails to be placed 10 small keg,
sprinkled over with salt, pepper, coppcras, ti,h.
salt. onions etc., and then the keg to be filled
with earth taken from beneath the step, the
whole to be wrapped in certain uumentionables
previously worn by the afflicted girl, and thrown
into runpiug stream. |, was while following
this prescription that she was suspected Of in-
fan;icide and arrested. 1t was decided by the
coroner that she had not given birth to child
and she was accordingly released.

THE WAwASET INVESTIGATION was coucud-
ed yesterday, and the inspectors are expected
to report within week. The testimony taken
yesterday was mainly presented by the officers
of the company to show that the reduction OF
the number OF passengers which the steamer
was allowed to carry from $50 last year to so,
was done through mistake, asd that both the
inspectors and the officers of the boat believed
it had been corrected. The evidence Of the
Two 6remen of the steamer makes it reasonably
certain that the fire originated in the overhead
ed wood partitions near the boiler and between
the decks

THE RICHMOND Mass MEETING The Con-
sarvative rally in Richmond last night was one
of the largest and most enthusiastic denonstra-
tons ever held in that city. The Theatre was
packed from pit to dome. The speakers made
eloquent aud telling speeches which were list
ened to with undated interest and loudly ap-
plauded, and everything passed off 10 the most
pleasant and satisfactory manner.
The Wing says THE real people repro
seuting in part the very life Of the Common
wealth showed by their presence and applause
how earnest they are for Kcmper, Withers aud
Daniel. Let this be the beginning of series
of great ratification meetings all over the State,
and let there be no relaxation on the part OF
Conservatives anywhere until an overwhelming
victory over the enemies of Virginia shall have
been achieved. "
The ENQUIRER says 1.-The Conservative
mass meeting which took place at the Theatre
10 this city last night, was one Of the greatest,
grandest and most spirited popular demoustra-
tons ever made in the city of Richmond. 1t
was vast and enthusiastic outpouring of the
people, AID glorious endorsement and ratlh-
cation of the State ticket nominated by the re-
cent Convention"
The speakers were Gov Walker, Gen. KEN

WATERMELoNs.- This has been a most
abundant season for watcrmelonS One day this
week there were one hundred bay aud river
crafts with cargocs of watermelons between
Light street and Bowly's wharf, 10 Baltimore,
and the American of that city says more than
100000 melons changed hands The price
ranged from 81 to s25 per hundred. A lot of
700 splendid melons, from Anne Arundel county,
sold at S23 per hundred. and they were so
heavy that special line of strong men had to
be formed to pass them from the boat to the
wagons. The select fruit is largely shipped

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN GEORGETOWN,

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN GEORGETOWN, d. c.
A dispatch from Washington says:
AT a meeting Of the board of school trus-
tees of Georgetown, on Tuesday night the
president of the board, Mr.. Hyde, called atten-
ton to the fact that funds could not be obtain
ed for school purposes, and he offered a :esolu-
ton that as the board was unable to meet run
piug expenses it was inexpedient to open the
schools the coming year. The teachers have
not been paid for several months, aud Mr.
Hyde said that Mr.. Cluss, a member of the
Board ofPublc Works, had informed him that
he did not believe anything could be done 10
the way Of raising funds When the Board or
Public Works obtained control of affairs less
than three years ago, Georgetown had sur
plus of school funds, but the money has all
vanished. 1t has been asserted that the at
tacks upon the board were malicious and had
no substantial foundation, but the truth is
coming out at last, and that too from the mouths
Of officials who are appointed to Office by the
Governor. The District government is COM
pletely out of funds, aud cannot meet its obi
cations"

MINERALS IN AMHERST. ust at this time
there is quite stir 10 regard to the magnetic
iron ores on the railroad. 1t Is not generally
knowo that at this place, within two hundred
yards of the depot, there is Il large rich vein of
iron ore. This ore was examined some years
ago by parties prospecting for iron, and was
pronounced frs-cass.
Two miles beyond the depot large quantities
of iron ore of good quality are lying on top Of
the earth.
In rear Of the village is 4 belt of country of
considerable width Of yellow ochre, indicating
iron underneath.
Six miles above the railroad is a wcll-known,
The truth is, there are veins Of valuable ron
ali over the county.
Discoveries have been made OF the following
other substances: Emory, plumbago, maoga-
nese baryta, marble, limestone, soapstone,
kaoIio, aud various earths for paint. gold was
years ago, found in attractive quantities at TWO
places. Copper Of the richest quality was
worked and raised at The Folly Tor years
There are indications Of coal IN Two different
portions OF the county.
Mineral springs of value, and OF different
kinds, are found. 10 one district they are
chalybeate; 10 another, sulphur; and In an
other, alum With the exception OF the But
falo-which is sulphur, very like the famous
White Sulphur-none of these springs have
been im proved or much examined
We believe the tune will come when this
county will be dotted over with furnaces and
mining establishments. and will afford several

The Virginia Coal Fields.

From letter 10 the Wall Street Journal We
clip the following in regard to the Eirgioia coal
fields, opened up ty the completion Of the
Chesa peake and Ohio Railroad:
1t is fortunate circumstance at this crisis in
the coal supply of England, and while we are
threatened with strikes and combinations in
nnsylvania, that new low grade railroad
line has pierced these rich coal fields, openig
them up to both home and foreign markets. The
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, recently opened
for business, enters this belt of coal lands in the
val ley of the New Tor Upper Kanawha) river,
about three hundred miles from Richmond, the
eastern terminus of tn. road on the tidal waters
of the Atlantic. For hundred miles its course
lies through these wonderful coal fields, where
there are, ut p aces, fou!tee To sixteen distinct
strata, of which ttty-iour feet are disposed in
workable beds The varieties are the rich fat
ty' bltumnous, the d:y burning blum nous,
tie camel and the "spllnt" The two former
sre excellent steam fuel gas and household
Goals, and in these respects are ready and peril CT
substitute: for English varieties (Which, by the
way, anthracite is not, requiring specially con-
structed CRATE bars and draug ht) while the cam
mel Of this region is said to b. fully equal to the
best Scotch or Welsh for the manufacture of gas
and for domestic uses. The "Splint," as its name
indicates, is ard-grained variety, species of
fosilized charcoal, capable of sustaining great
burden in the stack, and also very pure, and,
therefore, suitable for melting iron, for which it
is in special demand being found equal to char
coal in the furnace. Ali three varieties are found
in close proximity, frequently in the same seam.
These kanawha Goals, We are informed, can be
mined in unlimited quantities now for 81 ton
but suppose we allow for the influences of
keencr demand, and say 50 so per ton. The
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad ought to be able,
with its low grad, s, cheap fuel and uninterrupt-
ed operation all the year round, TO deliver, say
million of tons, for the first year over the $50
miles average distance between the several mines
and the shipping port at the rate of S4 to 81 80
per ton. One dollar per ton from Richmond to
the yards along the seaboard would be ample
This, then, would be q limit to the pretensions
of the Pennsylvania mines. For many purposes
Kanawha coal is superior to anthracite, anu can
largely be used in its stead

storm at Macon, Mo.


MACON CITY, Mo-, July 2G,-fho
wind storm with which we were Wis
tied on Yesterday, was unprecedented
in its severity. The storm approached
the city from n northwcstcrly direc-
ton, and was wholly unexpected in its
coming, as il came wthouta moments
warming. 1t first struck the Masonic
Temple, beautiful, well finished three
story brick building, situate just south
of the Courthouse Square, blowing II
partly down and on the residence OF
Major Glaze, which stood distant about
twenty feet to the east. In the fall OF
the Temple u woman named Mrs. Coo
lies who was employed in keeping the
building in order, was killed outright
by the building falling on her.
A man by the name of Meyers Mont
gomery, in attempting to assist her,
was struck by some debris of the fall
ing building and IL supposed to be
MORALLY wounded.
Also, in the fall of Major Glaze's
house, his daughter, II small girl, was
severely injured. The law office of Is.
G. Barrow, situate on Rollins street.
lust south of the Courthouse, was
Somewhat wrecked by the storm, and
the law Office Of Mc(iindly Brothers,
situated almost opposite, on the same
street, also suffered some slight injur-
les. These Offices We're neat frame
buildings, and were erected by the par
ties for the purpose for which they
were used. Judge Barrow's office was
moved some three feet oft its founda-
tons. The front part of the hardware
store of Shortridge " Malone was
blown down, as also the front of the
leather store adjoining.
The observatory of the large brick
dwelling of Rev. DR.. Dibble was blown
of, and the fine residence of Major A.
N. McGindlcy sustained some slight
injuries. Some small frame tenement
houses occupied by colored people were
blown down, and one colored man was
killed by his house falling ON him.
Hon. John w. Henry, Judge of our
Circuit Court, was severely, though not
dangerously, hurt by II piece of timber
from falling building blowing against
him. Owing to the very substantial
manner in which the business houses
and residences of our city are erected,
less real damage was done by the storm
than would otherwise have been caused
by it. At this time it is Impossible 10
accurately estimate the amount OF dam
age done, but it is much less than was
ut first supposed.
