The amount OF tonnage for the month Of
AuSustjyas ixed at 2,OOO,OOO tons, against
100000 for the current month of July.
An advance IN the prices ofcoal was discuss
cd but hothing definite was arrived at on
that. subject. The tonnage fixed for the
month was the largest of any month of the
year, but it was thought the market would
take it without affecting the prices. Indeed,
it is believed that producers will advance
the prices on some of the more desirable siz-
es Of coal.

A second ballot stood, Banning 81, Shank S,
Goss A.
The excitement here became very great, and, by
an error on the part of some one, the rules OF the
County Convention dropping the lowest candidate
was declared in force, and Shank's name ordered
dropped. This was done without the knowledge
of Shank or his friends, and the confusion was 50
great that no explanation could be made.
On the third ballot Goss received "a votes and
Banning 68.

the paste he used TO conceal the hole tina
he was working through he wall, which he
did by pasIing paper over it in the day
lime. When he reached the stone chimney
he worked a number of stones out of it, all
of which he concealed in his bed.
When the opening was large enough to
admit him to the chimney, he tied bed
cover to stick, put the stick across the
hole, on the inside of the room, and dropped
he other end of the cover down the CHM
ney, and then slid down the rope thus pro-
vded to the room below, where the chin
ney opens into fireplace. The key was
in the room door that led to the outside Of
the Jail to Third street. and Sieglc unlocked
the door and walked and has not been
heard of since.

A British tourist has had legal bout
with a Paris barber. The pivotal point of
the contention was a charge for hair-cutting
and sIlampooing. The barber thinking
that his customer was person of conse-
tence charged him 48 francs. The Eng
lishman paid the money under protest and
appealed to police magistrate The bar
ber sustained the original claim on the
ground that he had used a set of new brush
es, and opened several jars of pomatun and
washes in honor Of his customer. and ac-
cordngly had charged him for the full
value of the brushes and jars, although neg
lecting to tell him that he could have all
these articles if he chose to take them away.
The tourist offered to pay the barber 8
francs, and the magistrate gave Judgment
for that amount.
