sumo rather an ugly aspect. II all began, 1t
seems, in negro cursing young white man
for hurrahing for Tilden and Hendricks, the
Saturday night following the election. A few
evenings after that the same negro intruded
himself upon company Of phites who were
engaged in reading the papers and discussing
the political prospects. He was told to 60
away but refused to do SO and replied in an
insulting and impudent tone, cursing the man
who told him to leave. On this he was
knocked down las be deserved) and roughly
handled. He then went away swearing ven
geance. Since then the negroes have been
very violent and insolent parading the streets
till late at night, hurrahing for Hayes and
cursing the Democrats. Last Saturday night
they were more than commonly demonstra-
tive, and though they kept shy of white men,
who would probably have made things warm
for!them they went to the house ofa yellow man
named Tom Hall, whom they accused Of vot-
ing the Democratic ticket, swearing they
meant to clean him out. They broke some of
Halls windows and fred two or three pistol
shots through them into the house. No fur
ther harm, than this, was done, but that such
riotous conduct may lead to bad results is
greatly feared by the law abiding citizens of
the town and vicinity.
The prime cause Of this trouble, as it is Of
all the troubles with the negroes, is found in
the scandalous conduct of few disreputable,
unprincipled creatures in the shape Of men,
with white skins and foul hearts. who 90 to
the negro churches, and other places of meet
ing, and incite them to insolence and riotous
demonstrations against the whites-telling
them 10 'stand up for their rights and not
let white men 'tlord it, over them and other
such like expressions, but when the negroes
obey their teachings and get into trouble
these mean scoundrels skulk away and escape
the just reward of their conduct

Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific road went
to the depot one morning recently to take his
train. as usual, and an officer of the road and
an officer OF the law arrested him. On his
shire front was IS Geo diamond pin, and In
bis pockets were valuable gold watch and
chain. In his trunks the officers found $50 900
IN government bonds. An eastern bank was
telegraphed to. and the response was that
bail could be furnished in $50 900, If neces-
sary, as that was the amount deposited to
the conductors credit there. This settled. it
was next the conductors turn. A LAWYER
was called, and he politely informed the
officers that the diamond pin they had ille-
gally taken had been worn by the Conductor
twenty years; the watch was carried by him
years before he went into the employ Of the
company; that the United States govern
ment bonds they had taken were the prop
erty OF bis wife, as the proceeds of her share
in an estate as heir, and so was the money
In bank, and that the best thing the COM

THE sERvIAN FoRcEs.-The total forces
are officially estimated at 158 900 men. The
second ban of the active army comprises
81 600 men. Military service Is obligatory
from the age OF 20 to 80. The system Of con-
scriptton Is In operation. The standing
army Is on an average composed OF 5000
men, OF which 2, 900 are Infantry, di vided into
four battaltons, consisting of four compa-
mics, 1000 pioneers, and GOO artillery. There
Is but detachment of body guards and the

ANOTHER CASE OF DEPRAvIrY.-A Jer-
sey City scandal has broken out afresh, and
causes new sorrow in q somewhat prominent
family in that suburb. Charles Hyatt, the
husband OF pretty wife, the daughter of
one OF New Jerseys most honored sons, was
Lometimes ago caught Jtogrdsste delictu with
q young woman named Mary Davis, of Bos-
ton. The wife flew TO her parents, and the
guilty husband sent away his mistress.
Then commenced efforts for reconciliation,
which, after q few weeks, were successful.
The husband promised reformation, and the
injured wife fOrgave him his past perfidy.
The truth is that the wife Is the legi-
mate heir OF considerable wealth, and
the infamous husband sought her forgive
ness merely to continue an influence over
her when she acquired the expected wealth.
The family peace, however, was again
broken by the misconduct OF Hyatt. and a
second time the wife returned TO her parents.
The wiles of her husband were too much
for her, and again she forgave him and re-
sumcd the position of wife. hyatt was
thoroughly bad, and his perfidy again Illus
trated itself when he packed up his trunks
and left Jersey City for the West I'm COM
pany with his paramount, and the injured
wife is nearly heart broken. A worthy

PREDICAMENT OF A RAILROAD TRAIN.
The Cincinnati newspapers OF last Sunday
PtVe the particulars OF very singular and
unpleasar predicament IN which train on
the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette
railroad was recently placed. The tunuel at
Cleyes, Ohio, on Friday night was filed
with water TO depth of three or four feet.
AS the engine plunged into the tunnel a
huge wave put out the fire, and before the
train was half way through 1t came to a
halt, to the great alarm of the passengers,
who knew that the Omaha express would be
along in about half an horr. With great
difficulty a man waded back through the
darkness and water and tagged the express
train. long freight train was then pushed
up to the passenger train by the express
engine, and the rear end of the freight car
having been cut out, the ladies aud child
rem, and some men were transferred to IL
and drawn to daylight. By this time the
water had begun to subside, and the m al
who were not taken off by the freight tran
were enabled to wade out. As soon as the
water had subsidized sufficiently, the aeon
mediation train was pushed out, and then
began the work OF cleaning out the hundre Is
OF carloads of mud and dirt that had accU-
mulated on the track. This was no small
undertaking, and 1t was not until nearly
midnight that the Omaha express wa,
ready 10 pl oceed on its way.

THE ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE continues
dull, and, as is shown by our tabulated re-
port, is without special feature in any OF its
departments. The suspension of production
every other week for the months Of June ana
July has not much quickened business, and
1t Is matter now of consideration with
the associated companies whether the policy
OF half time production at the mines shall
not be continued hence through the month OF
August. The demonstration OF the fact that
the leading companies are determined to
carry out the policy Of the trade for the last
two or three years, namely, to steadily In
crease inc prices OF coal each succeeding
month as the end OF the season approaches,
has done quite as much, or more, to MAIN
tain the trade and prices as has the lessen-
ing OF production. The supply OF coal at
the eenters is still quite large, and will, no
doubt, be kept so, but producers are deter
mined not to sell coal at less than the actual
cost OF putting IL in the market. They hold
that Ii is quite enough to give the coal away
without ADDING TO that gratuity any partIof
the cost OF delivery to consumers. Besides,
In the absence OF demand for fuel by those
great consumers, the iron furnaces, the price
of coal has little to do with the amount ofits
consumption. Whether q few cents per ton
higher or lower would not start mill nor
increase the amount of an order for rails.
The country Is not Just yet ready for an ac.
tive revival OF business, and In this situa-
ton OF affairs it is but prudent on the part of
coal producers and carriers not to attempt to
force trade to their own detriment and the
good of no one. Rather let them stand quiet
until the demand, in the natural course of
things, grows up to the excess of production
In the last two or three years. So far as
duced the prices of coal and freightage
should properly come down, but it Will be
found Intellectual of any good end to attempt
To force any particular branch of trade In
advance OF general revival and of q uni
