New CoAL VE1N.-We have
seen a specimen of bituminous
coal from a seam recently discov-
cred on the, skagit River. This
coal, although from the Outcrop-
pings of the vein, gives evidence
of being strongly bitumipops, and
does not present the appearance
of Ignite as is shown IN the Bel
lingham Bay coal. We under
stand that experienced miners who
have examined and are opeAihg
the vein, pronounce the coal simil-
ar to the Cumberland coal. We are
promised further particulars which
we will lay before our readers at
a future time. The deposit is on
the banks of the Skagit, about
twenty miles abovethe jam. When
this obstruction is removed there
will be nothing to prevent vessels
of large size, drawing II feet oi
water, from getting in at the mouth
ofthe river and laying along side
of the bank to load.

There is nothing strange in all this.
These are all good men under ordinary
and other circumstances than those By
which we are surrounded at this time.
There is an extra effort, however. TO
attract 10 this announcement in this. the
notice after the heading, which says:
AT large meeting of the citizens Of
the Second ward, the following ticket was
nominated.
Ii was Il large meeting gotten up in
the interest of this ticket, and an issue
made that was entirely unexpected and
unthought Of by their opponents, who
were not aware of who or what this
ticket would be, until few moments be-
fore their arrival at the place of meeting.
When they arrived they found the
meeting already in the hands of the
friends of this ticket who were
there in force, and well organized
with printed tickets, TO say nothing
of their buffers. one OF whom boosted
that they ran that ward, and they were
going TO let us know il, he had 500 in

Another victory for Wheeling-One
SteubenyilIc Bird Dies Game and
Another Runs Away.
From the Steuhenville Gazette.

From the Steubenville Gazette.
In Saturdays issue we announced that
satisfactory arrangements had been made
for Il grand set - between Steubenvillc
and Wheeling "game.' In accordance
with the arrangement several Of the best
handlers and "heelers' in the city, ac-
companied by number of prominent
sports, shoudered their carpet sacks, con-
tanning some of the best strikers
STRIKER is another word for ''gatier," and
means the same that could be found in
the city, and set sail for Wheeling last
Saturday.
We are informed by one of the party
that the Stcubenvillc delegation met
with most cordial and friendly recep.
ton by the Wheeling boys, and every
thing passed off pleasantly and satisfac-
torily while there, so far as the enter
tainment was concerned.
The first fight was between an "eight-
one Steubenville and a "six-eight.
Wheeling, for fifty dollars side. The
battle WAS short and decisive, Stcubcn-
Vile running" away at the end of the
third round. A recess of few minutes
was then taken, in order that the Steu-
bcnville parties and others who had lost
money on the fight might have an Cp-
portunity to recover their wind Ia very
considerable amount having been expcn-
ded in giving vent to their feelings at
the way the contest had ended
The next fight was for one hundred
dollars side, between give seven" and
a small Wheeling bird weight not
given. This is said to have been fight
of unusual interest. Betting was lively
and no amount less than five dollars
was taken on either side. The battle
lasted for over quarter of an hour and
our boys say was one of the best exhibit
tions of dead game that has been wit
messed i'll very long time.
The triumph for Wheeling in this con-
test is immense, as they take back, We
are informed IN the two battles fought
Saturday, all the money ever won bv
Steubenville in the various contests which
have taken place heretofore.

his pocket to bet they would carry the
meeting and elect their ticket on the
day of election. All of which they may
do, but about the sense Of the meeting
being the voice of the ward, | deny it,
there were l7S votes cast, this ticket get
l2l majority, of whom,
IS of them, voted without
a proper understanding of the case, or
under misrepresentation of the issue
and that they will change their votes on
election day So much for the partial
vote taken on that occasion. As there
are over five hundred votes in the ward,
and the issue made II momeutOus one
one that every tax payer in the city is in
terested in, we feel like submitting
only to full vote Of the ward; therefore
there was the announcement Of
the Citizens ticket which APP
peared some days ago in the
REGISTER and for which we ask the sup
port OF all good citizens, who are alive TO
the best interests of the whole city.
Our friends, the Peoples ticket
candidates made the issue; we did
not. They charged Us with be
ing the improvement ticket, and
dubbed themselves as the init hHprOre-
ment ticket, charged that we would
run the city over head and ears in debt,
&C. &c.
| say we won't. We will deal with ali
application and motions for i'm
pr1vcments in II just liberia, and SEN
sible spirit, and, | trust, do justice to
all without being the advocate of sec,
tional interest, special or class legiSla-
ton. AS has been too often the case, for
the general welfare Of our whole com
munity, but enough Mr. Editor for this
time.

An Act of Charity.

Editors of the Register:
Would it not be good move on the
part of our singing societies and musical
talent in this city to cooperate and get
up grand concert for the benefit of the
poor in our city, and divide the proceeds
between the Sisters of st. Joseph and the
Citizens Committee. | have 10 doubt
that very handsome sum could be re-
allied. Win not some Of our societies
make a move in that direction? | feel
confident that our good people will ap-
precatc it. CHARITY.

well known citizen, and should receive

MARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
Yesterday afternoon, a boy named Frank
Lilly, while skating on back river, broke
in through the ice and made narrow
escape from drowning. A young man
named Dick Robinson, gallantly jumped
intothe river and pushed log to the
sinking boy, which he seized and saved
himself by. Young Robinson deserves
credit fer his noble action. Both parties
live in Bridgeport.
