TROUBLE AGAIN AT sPAHN,s.

Yesterday afternoon a wedding occur
red at the well known resort Of Peter
Spahns, on Second street, between Monroe
and Adams, in which the contracting
parties were Mr.. Heebner of Philadel-
phia, and Cassie, daughter of the proprie-
tor.
OF course such an event does not oc-
cur every day and the father of the bride
reasoned that the event should be cele-
brated as should be the marriage of the
daughter of such well known citizen ~
Accordingly large number of invita-
tions had been sent out to the large circle
Of friends known to the family, to meet
the happy couple in the evening. In or
der that all should properly enjoy the
themselves couple Of musicians were
engaged to furnish music to those who
desired to trip the light fantastic; when
night had thrown her mantle over the
earth the friends gathered and congratu-
lated the newly married couple, after
which they were invited to partake of
that which makes people forget their
trouble, and drive duh care away-whis-
key and beer.
Dancing followed and about midnight
several who had partaken of the flowing
bowl too often began to get noisy, and
they were elected out into the street
threats, and use vile language to-
wards those within, in such loud man.
ner that the neighbors who were gently
sleeping were rudely awakened and COM
PEELED under the force of circumstances
to hear the language used.
A police officer who had been present
during the evening, and who was there
at the time the trouble commenced, was
asked why he did not crack the noisy
mn hn mil Inh
upon going up to them he informed
them that if they did not keep quiet he
would have to arrest some of the num-
Der. Thereupon one of the number de-
fed him and threatened that if he arrest
ed him he would have the buttons taken
off of him in very short time.
The officer returned to the house and
the outside party continued their noise
until about 8 O'Clock in the morning,
when they departed home. 1t is strange
that this den of iniquity cannot be bro
ken up.

Lieutenant-Gov w. L. Hemingway
OF Carroll for Treasurer, s, Gwin, of
Lawrence for Auditor, T. O. Cathings, of
Warren, for Attorney General, and j.
Argyle Smith of Rankin for Superinten-
dent of Public Education. The follow
ing platform was adopted:
Fidelity to the Constitution of the
United States. Home rule and the pre-
servation of State Government with all
their reserved and guaranteed rights un-
impaired. No interference by the mill
taiy power with the freedom Of elections
and with the civil and political rights OF
citizens of the United States.
The protection of equal rights of all
classes. No discrimination on account oil
race, color, previous condition of servi-
tude, or birthplace, and no special legis-
lation for the benefit of few at the ex-
pense of many. A strict adherence in
the selection Of public agents to Che time.
hoDored Jeffersonian standard, 'tIs he
honest9 Is he capablep Is he true to the
Constitution" continuation Of the
policy of fretrenchInent and reform so sig
nally inaugurated by the Democraticp par
ty. A reduction in the burdens of taxa
tion to the lowest point compatible with
an efficient execution of laws. Corpora
tions Of every description to be supervis-
able Within the constitutional limits by
State authority and subordinate to State
legislation in the interest of and for the
protection of the people. As the perpet-
uity of free government depends upon
the virtue and intelligence of the people
we pledge ourselves to the maintenance
of the State system of free schools.
We favor granting such aid as may be
extended without violation of the Con-
stitution ofthe United States. or depart
ing from the usages of the Government
to the Texas and Pacific Railroad, and
for rebuilding and keeping in repair the
levees of The Mississippi river.
That upon this platform we vite the
cooperation Of citizens, without regard
to past differences.
Also the following resolution, after
which and the appointment of executive
committees, the Convention adjourned
ResotDed, That unity and harmony is
essential to victory; that all independent
movements are dangerous to the integrl-
ty of party organizations; that all indep-
dent candidates are inspired solely BY
lust for othce, and shall be treated as
common enemies 10 the welfare of the
people, and avowed enemies of the
Democratic party Of the State of Missis-
sippi.
In his speech last night, Senator La
mar warmly endorsed President Hayes's

VINO ANY GIVES PEKsoN NAy M,

WHO ANY GIVEN PERSON MAY MAR.
RY.-It dosen't require any astrolonge Oh
medium, or gypsy with dirty pack Of
cards. 1t is very simple, lies in nut
shell, and can be expressed in very few
words. The plain is this: If girl ex-
presses fondness for majestic men with
large whiskers, make up your mind she
will marry very small man with none
If she declares that ''mind" is all she
looks for, expect her to stand before the
altar with very pretty fellow who has
just sense enough to tie cravat bow. If
on the contrary, she must have a hand
some husband, look about for the plainest
person in the circle of her acquaintances
and declare "that is the man." for it will
be. Men are almost as bad. The gentle
men who desires a wife with mind and
mission marries a lisping baby, who
screams at the sight of mouse, and hids
her face when she hears a sudden knock
at the door. And the gentlemen who
dread anything like trong-mindedness
exults in the fact that his wife is every
thing he detested. If girl says of one,
''marIy him? I'd rather die !" look upon
the affair as settled, and expect cards to
the wedding of these two people. If a
man remarks lady "Not my style at alp
await patiently the appearance of his
name in the matrimonial column in con-
nection with that lady's, And if any two
people declare themselves "friends, and
nothing more," you may know what will
come next.

OHIO,S coal, FIELD

Ohio's coal field is district of one
hundred miles square, including the
counties of Athens, Herry and Hooking
In fifty years it will probably equal Stat
fordshire or any district in the world
This district has Twenty-Five feet of solid
coal in five seams. The great vein is in
places twelve feet thick, and nowhere
less than six feet. Mingled among the
coal beds are inexhaustible beds of iron
The thickest is five feet deep at the out
crop; the thinnest, in places, sinks to
six inches. But the thickness of neither
seam is quite persistent; there are waves
from time to time, which narrow the
seam. The coal, on the contrary, may
be said to run from hill to hill with per
feet uniformity. Limestone is also pres
ent In any desired quantity.

men in masks were tearing up the track
At daybreak this morning an unusual
signal was given and the hurrying to and
fro aroused the populace. Men rushed
to their front doors and on the sidewalks

reflect upon the condition of the immedi-
ate surroundings before the boys in gray
