The disturbance Friday night seems
to have intimidated the men who make
themselves notoriety By getting into
the lookup. Yesterday was the glori-
Gus Fourth, and only one man was ar
rested. His name is James Porter, and
he is said to hail from Bridgeport He
came up the railroad just after the rain
carrying on loud and animated coz
versstion with himself. About every
other step he went splash into a mud
puddle, which annoyed him so much
that be vociierously aiyoca'el the
building Of poutoon bridges. He was
arrested and thrown into the city
jail, where he can Il ciitate on WAYS
and means until the time for hearing.
A plain drunk, they cali it.

on the look out for the comet, and for
second asst night we felt Ike crying
eureka We have always imagined S
comet was sort OF flaming ladpole
that flew srouEd promiscuously in the
besvens. We have looked in vain for
this phenomenon, and as our observas
tions have been principally in the west,
We concludes, as Wheeling is the source
OF most bright things in our lives, we
would look that way just to try it. A
moment OF anxious expectancy, and
then. sure enough, bright red star,
followed by a lone train OF light, shot
up in the air. We almost held our
breath as We watched lie rapid progress
and wondered If il VouLd strike the
earth. When up came another aud
another, and we were frightened and
thought q shower oil comets had come,

The Meadow Lark.
BY b. P. AVERY.


Trill, happy lark, thy brief, sweet i'''
From OUT q breast as ufoN Iav
AS were the hills in autumn uA'
Before the rains came uo"
.r,s hooroi,, SIM. the dripping showers,
Are i'm INV simple notes, 49,, s
- sn,iies TO hear in grass ana mowers,
And bright the cloudiet noats.
On Alameda's mountain line
The vIolet's tender hue,
With dappled spots OF shade and shine,
Is painted 'gainst the blue.
The meadow slopes to meet the bay,
The gulls in fiocBs uprise;
Aud far above the waters gray
scars purple Tamalpais.
Beyond is oceans wide expanse,
Where thioush the Golden Gate,
The ships with snowy canvas Dance
Or On the breeZes wait.
Fair day, bright scene! The hill, the tree,
The poppl's rum ng fame,
The silver cloud the sunny sea-
Springs coming all proclaim.
But sweeter, dearer far than all
love the liquid sound
That from the sky the lark lets fall
Whenever he spuIns the ground.
Though all too short, its cadence gives
80 Back to my heart once more
The th0ughtless joy at USED 10 h'e

P0NCA COAL.
a Vein Two Feet in Thickness at
Present-G0od Coal and
Better Prospects.

From Charles Schroeder, one of
the four men who compose the COM
pany that is operating the Psnca
coal mine, and who has just returned
from there, we learn that the pros
poets of finding coal in paying guam
titles grow better as the work pro-
crosses. The miners have drifted
into the hill a distance of about six
ty feet, and the strata of coal which
they are following grows thicker the
further in they work. The vein is
at present. about two feet thick, and
even If they should find it no
thicker 1t would pay to work it.
Samples were brought in by Mr..
Schroeder which are pronounced of
a good quality, containing but very
little sulphur or slate. 1t is Alto
gether probable that after tunneling
into the hill a little further q strata
of coal will be found of uniform
thickness. The vein so far followed
has varied somewhat in thickness,
according to the depth or shallow
ness of the earth above. Further
into the hill, where there has been
no exterior action Of the earth to in
terfere with the natural formation,
q rich, uniformly thick strata of coal
undoubtedly lies. And if this be
the ease 1t will surely be developed,
for the company operating the mine
Is sanguine of success, and is work
ing accordingly. 2

THE managers of MI. Jonn
Banners case are becoming greatly
fatigued in trying to cheat Nj
Johnston out of his just majority
for treasurer as clearly and UNI
equivocally shown by Mr.. Banners
own recount. We are still of the
opinion that Mr.. Swobe will be
compelled to vote that Johnston
has a majority, and we are not
without hope .for Mr.. Marsh, al
though he is a hard case as a par
tizan.-Herdld.
We are still of the opinion that
the Democracy under the lead OF
the Herald are trying TO perpetrate
a most outrageous fraud upon a man
who was duly elected by the people
TO the Office of city treasurer.
We don't charge ballot box stuff
fling upon anybody, but there is a
very grave suspicion among disin-
terested citizens, Democratic as well
as Republican, that those ballot
boxes have been tempered with.
