thing, He is the head of an ancient
family in Lincolnshire, where his ances-
tors servedIas High Sheriffs as long ago as
in the reigns of Richard IL. and Henry
VII, and he owns among other places
seat called Denton Hall. AT Denton
Hall he finds himself plagued with an
accumulation of "heirlooms," chiefly be-
aueathed by Gregory Gregory, of Har-
jaxton, long ago, to his heir.at-law. They
consist of tapestries, furniture, plate and
other valuables, and such Is the bulk of
them that they have to be packed into all
sorts of places and watched ana cared TOR
at a great expense. The tapestries, In
parti cular, are dreadful burden TO MIN.
They are Gobelins, ,many OF them twenty
six feet long and twelve feet VIDE, anu

an epergne, which weighs 63S ounces,
and a solid chandelisr T weighing l492

THE CossACKs.'
HOW THEY SOMETIMES AMUsB THIN
SELVES IN CAMP.

aass
The war correspondent of the London
Times gives the following camp sketch:-
"Then came new dance, and when it
was over we had out some horses of diff
fereut breeds to look at--ugly little
beasts, some of them, but showing good
poi evidently animals that endure
much work. On speaking of the riding
of the men and the training of the horses,
our hosts offered to show what the Cos
sacks and their horses can do. In about
a minute a straight run was cleared, a
fur cap thrown down, and instantly a
string of horsemen charged at full gallop.
As they neared the cap each in turn
swung himself round in his saddle, so as
to reach the ground with his hand, and
'snatched at the cap. There were many
misses, as there are at tent pegging, and
some tremendous falls; but whenever the
rider fell, though he rolled over like a
ball, he kept hold of the bride, and his
little horse stopped short in full career. ]
threw down little forage cap that was
wearing and offered piece of money to
the man who should pick it up. 1t was
missed once, but seized by the second
rider and held up in triumph. Then we
sat down outside the colonePs tent to
drink wine and tea, apparently without
any apparent reason for one or the other
except that the evening was warm ant
that the tea and wine correct each
other.

A company of sixteen men arrived at

THE COAL SUPPLY.
PRICES NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECENT
RAILWAY STRIKERS.


1t will be gratifying to the consumers
of coal to learn that that article has not
advanced in price, as very many suppos-
ed that 1t would, by reason OF the sIrik-
ing employees of the railroads. During
the past week the widest speculatlons
were indulged in by those processing TO-
know. as to the effect of the stopDage OF
traffic upon the railways, and among the
necessaries that were to be seriously al
fected was coal. But such has not 6een
the case, as representative OF the Press
was informed by very large operator.
The gentleman referred to stated that,
with the exception of few particular
kinds, there had been no advance; nelth-
er was there any likelihood that there
would be. The production has, been
largely in excess of the demand, and
hence no fears need be entertained that
prices would reach any higher tgure. A
stoppage for month would not seriously
affect them, for there is coal enough on
hand to satisfy all demands. Whetner
the strike in the mining district Will be,
come general or not the operator could
not say, "but," he added, at requires
but few men to bring 1t about" He
did not think that it would extend to the

The lumbermen's strike at Chicago
seems to have ended without any change
of rates. ''-
A number of the colored roustabouts at
Cairo, ILL.,, struck yesterday for an ad-
vance of ten cents per hour. Their de-
mand was granted and they resumed
work. -------
The contract between the Adams Ex-
press Company and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company was terminated
yesterday, the Railroad company refus-
ing to reduce the rates for transportation
of express matter.
The passage of freight trains on the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Rail-
road was still prevented by the strikers
at several points yesterday.I 1t was thought
| detachment of troops would be ordered
to accompany each-train, so as to secure
Its passage. Two passenger trains made
trips on the Lehigh Valley Railroad yes
terday, one to Mauch Chunk, the other
to Catasauqua. To-day it is expected
trains will run regularly over the road.
Ninety trains passed over the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad yesterday between
Grafton and Baltimore, and the road Is
to be opened to Wheeling to-day. Inef-
fectual attempts have been made towreck
trains on this road and the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey. The blockade at
Keyser, W. Va. was raised yesterday.
One hundred workmen were discharg-
ed from the New York Central Railroad
shops, at West Albany, yesterday, for
having participated in the strike. Mr..
Vanderbilt has ordered one hundred
thousand dollars 20 be distributed pro
rata among the eleven thousand men on
the road who did not join the strikers.

An sin at the Fountain.
From the San Francisco Mail.

From the san francisco Mall.
Those who say that the Chinaman is
unclean in his habits and averse to the
application of cold water, should have
been in the vicinity of Lotta's fountain
on Sunday morning, a little before o.
clock. They would have seen two Chi
namen stop at the fountain, deliberately
undress ON the stone flags surrounding it
produce each piece of soap and Two
towels, and take a prolonged and very
thorough wash. They were surrounded
by the time they had dried and dressed
themselves by at least one hundred and
fifty spectators, some of whom followed
them down Kearny street on their return
to the Chinese quarters. Luckily for
the bathers no policeman made his ap-
pearance during the bathing performance
The event will no doubt increase the
popularity of the fountain as thirst
quenching apparatus.

BREADsTUFFs DECLINING.
WHEAT AND ALL OTHER GRAINS RESUM-
ING THEIR OLD PRICES.


For a couple of days last week the
grain market and all breadstuffs were
somewhat affected by reason of the block
ade upon the railways growing out of the
strike among the employees. 1t was
thought that prices would largely advance
and if the difficulties continued for any
length of time there would be such
scarcity that the figures would simply be
exhorbitant. The troubles, however, be-
gan to subside on Saturday and the ma
ket was easier, and yesterday, by reason
of the arrival of large quantities of bread
stuffs, prices again declined, There is
now no occasion for any excitement, and
as the railroads are all now carrying
freight, the figures at which such articles
are held will be about the same as they
were before the trouble broke out over
the country. The consumers can now
rest easy that no more will be asked for
-four than week or ten days ago.

For several weeks past great preparations
have been making for the pugilistic en-
counter between two prize fighters of noto-
riety in the coal regions-Billy Madden and
Mart Frazer At an early hour Saturday
morning sporting men in gangs were seen
moving toward the old Greenwood coal
breakers, near Tamaqua. At s o'clock the
ring was formed, the two men stripped, and
the fight began. Ten rounds We're fought,
Frazer got in the first blow on Maddens
jaw, but the latter replied with a stunning
blow on Frazer's nose, drawing first blood.
The next eight rounds were fought very
stubbornly, both men being severely punish
ed. In the eighth round some one cried,
"Foul !" and trouble ensued. The disturb
ance was checked by the referee, and the
fight proceeded. When the tenth and last
round t@gan the spectators closed in and
pressed against the ropes. Both men were
exhausted. Frazer was first to the scratch.
Madden faced him and struck him terrible
blow between the eyes. Frazer returned
the compliment with blow on Maddens
shoulders. The men then clinched .and.the
crowd yelled and pressed the ropes till they
broke. The scene that ensued was indie
scribahle. The men fought in a small space,
pressed on all sides by the spectators, who
were yelling Justify. Suddenly the cry Of
Police" policew came from the crowd.
The bottle holders dropped their jugs and
scaInpered. The referee gave the signal for
general stampede by leaving the ground
on dead run. The pugihsts were forced
apart and dragged on the field nearly ex-
hauSted.
