The Powder Magazines.

The Police Justice was engaged for sew
eral hours yesterday in trying cases against
Messrs. Davenport IL Morris and II. NJ.
Wortham for alleged violation OF city Ordi-
nance in keeping in the city longer than
twenty-four hours more than twenty-five
pounds OF powder in house near the city
almshOuse, which house Is not a magazine
approved by the City Council. The city
was represented by City-Attorney A. VI.
Kelley. and Mr.. James y. Dunlop appeared
for the defendants.
The Police Justice decided that the reso-
luton OF the Council ordering the removal
OF the magazines was lawful, and imposed
a fine Of so against Messrs. Davenport d
Morris and Mr.. II. NJ. Wortham for keep
ing powder in the magazines in violation
OF the city ordinance, and that every day
powder is kept in the magazine would be
considered separate offence.
The counsel for defence reserved the
right to an appeal, they claiming that at
the time OF the sale by the city Of the land
on which the buildings stand it was made
part OF the contract that the property was
to be used for powder magazines, and that
this contract is yiOqted by the ordinance
in question. The defendants say that they
will take the case, il necessary, up to the
Supreme Court.

SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN OF THE OLD SCHOOL
INA RAILROAD-CAR.
Herald

| A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN OF THE OLD SCHOOL
IN RAILROAD-CAR.
IIicrald.I
A disturbance occurred Sunday after
noon on one OF the trains from Rockaway
| Beach to the city over the New York and
Rockaway railroad. The train was crowd
ed and all the seats were occupied. In
one OF the cars stood two ladies, one OF
whom. who was rather delicate in ap-
pearance, carried Il child i'm her arms.
Near to them stood an elderly gen.
tleman, tall. erect OF carriage, and with
white hair and beard. He was evidently
concerned over the fact that a lady. who
seemed in delicate health should be COM
PEELED to stand with heavy child i'm her
arms while many men occupied seats
around her. As jolt OF the ear precipi-
tated the ladies violently forward and al
most caused the one with the child to lose
her balance, the old gentleman could evil
dently stand it no longer. He advanced
to a seat close to the ladies in which were
comfortably ensconced four young men.
Gentlemen" he said, with every out
ward show OF courtesy. but with Il slight
infection Of contempt in his voice, "per-
NIT me to call your attention TO the fact
that there are two ladies standing here who
have been unable TO lind seats. One Of
these ladies' is embarrassed with a child"
The young men, who were of the mob
by "-dressed, seli-suilicient type Of city
youth, stared insolently at the speaker.
"We'ye paid our fare" answered one Of
the young men in a saffron necktie, "and
we're entitled to seats"
of you make that point" said the old
gentleman, 4" sooner than see these ladies
stand will refund you your fares in re-
turn for the two seats"
"We don't want your money" retorted
the young man who had spoken before, in
soently. ave Just want to stay where
we are"
The old man flushed angriIy. q come
from the South" he said, land if there a
man were to act as you do under these cir
cumstances we should look upon him as a
cur and pitch him out of the window"
"Do you call me cur" screamed the
young fellow, springing to his feet.
"Do you refuse TO relinquish your
sea ?"
"Yes; and do you call me a cur?"
~ consider you to be far lower than a
cur"
AS the old gentleman uttered these
words the young fellow made a threaten
ing motion, but the old man was too quick
for him. lie drew back his right hand and
administered his opponent a stinging slap
on the cheek. Instantly he executed a
Similar maneuyre with his left hand. The
smacks rang out loud and clear above
the rImbling noise Of the train. The
young man was staggered, and his
companions sprang up to assist him.
Other passengers, however, whose at
tention had been attracted by the
quarrel, sprang TO the old genteman's side
and prevented any further violence. The
ladies, to whom attention had been at
tracted by the old gentleman's interference
in their behalf, had, unnoticed by him,
been provided with seats by felOw-passen-
gers few seconds before the quarrel cul-
minated in the warming Of the whipper
snanper's ears.

Prices Of Fuel.

As the time for the use OF fuel draws
nigh the provident head OF the family be-
gins to look around hlm in order to see
what the prices are, and what the chances
OF laying ir a supply for the winter will be.
1t is mighty hot now, and il anything
like this sort OF weather continues there
will be small need Of fire; but the cold,
chilling winds OF winter will come after
awhile, and summer themes and thoughts
will give way before considerations OF how
to keep warm and comfortable.
Upon asking n well-known wood and
cOal-dealer yesterday the following list of
prices for the present were ascertained:
Coal.-Anthracte (stove and NUT, sc
per ton; anthracite (egg), 1913; splint
dump, $3.50; splint (haiD, 1925; Glover
Hill dump, s.; Clover Hill (haiD. S4.75 !;
engine coal (Cumberland), $500; engine
coal (Fire Creek. s..
Wood.-Oak Qong), Sc per cord; oak
(sawed), $3.50; pine QOng), s.; pine
(sawed), $3.50; pine (spliD, So.
1t is hard to say whether or not frost and
an early winter will not change these
priccs.

The Fatal Thirteen,

TO the Editor OF Me Dispatch:
. For the relief of the superstitious please
accept my experience. When my last baby
(said TO be the loveiest in the 1ock) took
her seat at table she made up our regular
number in attendance-the fatal thirteen.
III you will allow the reference, she made
up our shook filled the cup OF our hap
piness to the full. During the months, and
now years, in which the thirteen have been
habitllRlly gathering to my table, a hap
pier, brighter company has hardly been in
existence. The smile OF Heaven has been
upon us. and scarcely has the good old
cook given us u loaf OF sour bread. the
grocer fooled US with bad butter, or the
butcher given us tough beefsteak. True,
there has been no baby since, but nobody
has cried about that. And maybe the
thirteen may bring twins; and wouldn't
we laugh IN the face OF the thirteen ,ritch
for that?
We braS at my house over the thirteen.
We know that some OF Us are going TO
die-al OF us, in fact Some soon, some
late. But for the present we thank God
heartily; have hardly had worse accident
than stumped toe for years; hardly a
quarrel or Il fight; are not much afraid OF
poverty; are glad ut no mans i'll; envy no
mans happiness; and, confidmg in the
good providence OF God, endeav0r 10 get
ready and keep ready to enjoy and suffer
as things shall be allotted us. z.

1.-THE Virginia (Ney.l Enterprise, l4th.J
The day was yet young as the extreme
summit was reached, and at last they stood
upon the lofty height. What saw they Z
The widest horizon in America; dome Of
blue immeasurable; vast sweeps OF desert
lowlands; range on range OF mighty noun
tains, grand and eloquent; grace, strength,
expansion, depth, breadth, height-all
blended in one grand and awful picture,
and as the eye takes in these features a
sense OF soaring fills the mind, and one
seems part Of the very heavens, whose
lofty places he pierces. The breadth
and compass OF the world grows upon
the mind as the mighty distances flow in
upon the view like the waves OF the sea.
On the east, miles below, like a spot OF
silver in the sun, lies Owens lake. This
glimpse Of miniature hills are the Alabama
mountains. That line OF silver winding
here and there among the spots Of green,
small rs thread, Is Owens river. The
senses swim as they gaze down, down,
down toward the levels Of the world where
men dwell and carry forward their traffic
and trade. No sounds OF life mar these
high airs. A silence profound and deep
holds wide empire. No bird sings or
scars; no insect beats with his tiny wings
this wide sea Of air.

Singular StabbinG Scrape.

Yesterday evening a white man named
w. II. Clarkson went into the saloon just
opened by Messrs. Louis Euker d Co.. No.
1416 Main street, and after taking drink
OF beer seated himself at u table occupied
by Mr.. Augustus Krause. Carkson asked
Krause to take drink, and the latter re-
fused. whereupon Clarkson seized an or
dinary case-knife (buckhorn handle), and
before Krause knew what was coming in
flcted painful wound upon him, cutting
off part OF his ear, but not seriously in
iuring the man. As soon as he found that
Krause was wounded Clarkson fed, but
was afterwards arrested by Officer Burnett,
Of the First police station. and locked up.
When the Dispatch reporter saw Clarkson
in the cell at the station-hOuse he was in
an insensibe condition, caused by the
liquor he had drank.
Krause was attended by DR.. Bosher, Of
the city almSh0use. who was brought out
by an ambulance-ca CALI and after having lis
injuries attended to went to his home.

A new "Maid of the Mist" will be
launched on the American side OF the
Niagara river at Suspension bridge before

" The trial OF Frank James began In the
Criminal Court Monday. Nothing OF inn
portance was done. The real work will
be when the jury is empaneled. A large
delegation OF witnesses arrived this eve
ming from Ray county. They say that
they are informed as to what evidence Is
expected OF them. Charlie Fold and his
father are here. Among the witnesses for
the State are many strangers, and large
force OF special policemen has been sworn
In to preserve order. The interest In the
case is as great now as at the first term.

Ucnrico Political Troubles.

There was lively time among The fol-
lowers Of General Malone at IIenrico
courthouse yesterday. The effort to fuse
the Rcadjuster" and Republican COM
mittees OF the party was a failure. Mr..
Southwark, sheriff OF the county, is chair
man OF the Republican side, which fur
nishes near about nine tenths OF the votes,
and is unwilling to surrender to the other
committee, over which Judge Waddill pre-
sides. The Southwark wing will nomi-
nate a candidate for the House Saturday.
The Waddll people threaten to do like
wise. Things are getting mighty lively.
Both parties express great love and admira-
tion for General Malone, and he will have
to come down here and fix things up bet
ter, else the party will get all mixed up.

What Did Goochland Do?

Upon statement made by Mr.. Maddox
in person, it was yesterday given forth in
this paper that the Goochland Coalition
Republicans at their meeting endorsed
him. So Mr.. Maddox claimed Monday
night, and so he may now; but the Sims
party deny the fact most emphatically.
They are OF opinion that the meeting was
for Sims by large majority. though no
test vote was actually taken.
These brethren have fallen out and be-
come estranged, and are very hot against
each other, which makes it difficult at times
to tell exactly where the truth is.

Another Veto from the Mayor.

The City Council viii have another veto
from Mayor Darlington when it meets.
The Council passed resolution allowing
Mr.. C.. VI. Ragland $25 for services as as
sistant clerk in the Office OF Treasurer
Greenhow. The Mayor vetoes it on the
ground that Mr. Ragland is not resident
OF Richmond.
The Mayor claims that section OF chap
ter OF the City Ordinances provides "that
no person shall be elected or appointed TO
any Office or employment in the service OF
the city who shall not have resided therein
twelve months next preceding such elec-
tiOn or appointment"
