The effect &c the reduction Of rates on

cans aud 81, 257 foreigners, according to
parentage. The figures for voters are gwen

Some analyses of the ash Of anthracite
showed very nearly the same composition.
Connelsville coke Is hard, has a good
metallic ring when struck, bears much
handling without breaking, and does not
materially deteriorate by keeping. 1t is
gwen as standard whereby the value Of
other cokes may be ascertained
The majority Of cokes produced are not
So good as the Connelsville. Many contain
more than fifteen per cent. Of ash and from
one two per cent. Of sulphur, though there
are some with less than three per cent. Of
ash and one-tenth Of one per cent. Of sui
phur. A coke will always lose more or less
sulphur by keeping the substance volatil-

A Social Sensation--The Son of an Ad-
miral WEEDS Ballet Girl.

Certain circles of Washington are lust
now agltated by the marriage Of young
man Of high social position to one of the
ballet girls Of the Theater Comique The
young man alluded to is Presley j. Jen-
kins, son Of Admiral jenkins Of the navy.
He is about 70 years Of age, with dark
hair, and is small and rather delicate look
ing, not weighing over 100 pounds y He
has been a frequent visitor at the Theater
Comique, and while witnessing the mazes
Of the bewIldering can-can, became inter
'ested in one Of the dancers who nightly
tread the board at that place. She is a
blonde, about ten years the senior Of the
young man, and has been on the stage and
IN the variety business for some time She
Is about the medium height, and is consld-
cred good looking She bears the name
Of frankie Christie, and has recently
taken the part Of g frailty, in the can
can, with infinite grace and spirit. The
visits OF young Jenknrs to the theatre be-
came more frequent, and he sought his
charmer behind the scenes, and at the
close Of the performance he was her con
slant companion On Tuesday Of this
week he visited Mr.. Meigs at the City
Hall, and took out license for marriage,
and on the same evening at st. Johns p.
Z. Church, he took her for better or
worse. Yesterday there was a ripple of
excitement at the West End, which in
creased before night, and the friends Of
the young man becoming satisfied Of the
truth Of the rumor Of marriage, at once
telegraphed to the Admiral at Newport,
K. |. The young man, however, did not
allow this TO interfere with his romance,
and last night he occupied a prominent
seat at the Theater Oomique, and appeared
to greatly enjoy the evolutions Of his
bride. At the conclusion Of the perform
ance, in company with her and the 5rooms-
man, he left the theater for the Continent
tai Hotel, where they are at present dom
iclled

shooting ARRAY .

LEXINGTON, June PA difficulty
occurred between DR.. R. J. OMahony'
one O. the editors of the Press, and
Jerome Frazier, in which sever al shots
were exchanged without seriously 10
turing any one. The difficulty origin
sted in an article that appeared In the
Sunday Press giving a verbatim &C"
count of a scene in the city council, IN
which J. F. Frazier, mayor OF the CITY,
and the father OF Jerome Frazer acted
very ridiculous part. The article
.praged the mayor and his son to such
an extent that they have been seeking
a difficulty ever since the article refer
ed TO appeartd. A slight collision took
place O, Monday, resulting in Frazer
being arrested and fined in the police
court OF this city. This, however
seemed to have the effect OF making
matters worse, and resulted in the un-
fortunate affair to-day. There Is a
great deal OF indignation among our
Citizens that the mayor OF the city
sbould have allowed this difflcul'y 10
have gone on, and he may possibly oe
removed from bis office.

Ths Miners Troubles.

COLUMBUS, June 25.-The trouble
among the eoal miners in Hooking
Valley still continues, but is transferred
from NelsonvilIe to New Straltsvlile.
A report comes from SLraitsvllle to-
night that last night a number o.
Union miners captured some OF the
men who had agreed to go to work,
and placing ropes around their necks,
threw the other end over tree limbs
compelling the men to dlsclose the con-
versation between themselves and the
opera,ives under the threat OF death by
hangiog. 1t is thought that 1t may
vet he necessary TO call out the militia
to suppress and prevent further demon
s,rat,ons OF this kind. j. D. Clarke,
S,rsitsville operator, is said to have
told the miners that he preferred Civ
ingemployment to the white men If
they would accept situations at three
cents per bushel, and that seventy-dye
meo had signed contracts to work. He
will, i, is reported, start for Memphis
tonight to seizure colored miners.
About ninety colored men have been
nut to work ia Peter Hogden's mines
at Haydenville, and are doing good
work.
