Another Case Of Incarceration. .

WASHINGTON, Pa. March 7.--Mcssrs.
Brook Wright, J. Norris and Undertaken
Bringhurst arrived here this evening with
the corpse of Henry Seybert of Philadelphia
for cremation. 1t was expected that the
body would reach this place this morning,
but 1t was delayed by an accident on the
rail at Altoona. The fires were lighted in
the Lemoyne furnace yesterday morning
and the retort had become In arst-class con-
dition for the reception of the remains. In
a little over two hours the body was entirely
consumed. The ashes caunot possibly be
removed before tomorrow night or Friday
morning, and as the gentlemen expect tc
take them away they will be required tc
wait until that time. 1t was at first sug
gested that these ashes be scattered about the
family lot on Laurel Hill, but 1t has since
been determined to bury them near the
graves Of his father and mother.

POLICE COURT CASES.
ketribution Follows Quickly on the Heels
of a Chicken Thief.

of Chicken Thief.
The first prisoner brought before His
Honor the Mayor for a hearing last night
was Daniel Craig, colored. charged with the
theft Of seven chickens. Thomas r. Moore
was the first witness. He identified five of
the chickens as his property, and stated
that they were the last of 50 which had all
been stolen during the winter. Thomas II.
Campbell also identified two of the chickens
as those belonging to his hennery. Camp
bell is the keeper of the toll gate ON the
Newport pike and Moore lives within short
distance of the toll gate. Craig was re-
quired to furnish bail in the sum of 800 for
his appearance at court.
Patrick Haggerty, James P. Long and
j. Bradley, three young men were fined 50
and costs for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. Their misdemeanor consisted in
kicking over ash barrels and throwing John
Perkins, a colored hod carrier, IN u bed of
mortar. Perkins was on hand as witness
and when the Mayor put the oath TO him,
and said "the truth and nothing but the
truth" John replied, certainly, boss, moth
ing but the truth; l don't tell lies," and
continued: 81 had just got under the hod
full OF mortar to take in the building OF
James Kelley on Market street near Front,
when one OF these young men gave me a
my hod so ! wouldn't bust it and away |
started In the guitar, head fust. Don't
know what they done it for, but guess they
thought 1t was fun"
The prisoners seemed to think so, for they
wore broad smile on their faces while
Perkins was testifying, but when the Mayor
said, "Five dollars and costs EACH" they
became as pious looking as circuit preachers
and their faces heightened about four
inches.
William Collins, colored, who was ar.
rested for insisting on "going up stairs" in
the house No. 300 West Sixth street, yester-
day afternoon, and who in so doing fright
ened the only occupant, an old lady, almost
to death, was fined S. and costs. When
asked what he had to say, he began with,
81 haven't nothing to say as 1t is the first time
ever was in such place and dom know
what to say"-so he didn't say 1t.
One common drunk valued at 50 cents
and costs closed the proceedings.

PACIFIC CoAsr WEALTH.--The Pacific
States ere far richer in natural resources
than are the older Atlantic States. Tim
Dor. Minerals, agricultural products,
nshertes, climatc-these arc all better,
and will bo for huadred years 70 come,
than wera ever known in the North At
Antic States. Now, growth depends
upon number OF conditions. But, first
OF all, there must be something TO de-
veiop-something to invite the enter
prize and labor of millions Of people.
why is the center of population c0ntin-
uaily moving further West? II is be-
oause there is a great country beyond
Which invites enterprise and develop
menf. That is the reason that three or
Tour great continental railroads have
oeon pushed into the wilderness aud
across the Continent to the Paciiic.
mat IL the reason that road from
new Orleans to Puget Sound needs only
single link today to make perfect
chain up and down the Pacific Coast
Tor nearly four Thousand miles. Tnat
y the Reason that roads are pushing
across the Republic of Mexico. The
Atlantic States looking westward face
Tue newest civilization. The Pacific
states looking westward face the Oldest
civilization. Che Pacific itself has more
resources In il than tue Atlantic. Today
more wheat ships rendezvous at the
port OF San Francisco, not yet known to

sAN FRANCISCO. PORTLAND Avn
SEATTLE.

A correspondent of the st Louis Globe.
Democrat writing to his paper from San
Francisco, says:
iet. In spite OF those many evidences
OF growth and eager life. :hers are neo.
pc on this coast WHO predict that San
Francisco has already seen its best days.
tsat IT'S rivals to the Rorth-Portland or
Seattie-wlti outstrip it in the race and
VIII ultimately wrest from il the com
inercial supremacy of the Pacifio. Port
land especially takes much stock in
THESE predictions. A city of 10000. its
eroWth within the last five wears has
been even more marvellous than that of
San francisco. The Northern Pacific.
wnici Will ne COMPLETED by next Sep
teinotr. viii bring II into direct connec-
tioh with fhs east. 1t already talks of
tines OF steamers running direct to
Cnina and Japan. 1t is reaching out in
every direction for trade, and its mer-
chants are aided by the railroad which
does not believe In pursuing tho policy
that has made the Central and Southern
roads hated ia this State. Everything
bids fair to make Portl md a great city,
but II ~ rs idle 10 call her rival of
San Francisco as il would be to speak
of rivalry between New York and Pnila-
delp.lia, or beween st. louisiana New
Orleans. New York and st. Louis have
the advantages of position AID size,and
every year will witness rapid increase
In their grOwth--an increase out Of all
proportion to that of any smaller city
with less natural advantages. So i. Is
with San Francisco. 1t has position
on tho direct line os trade with the ORR
ent. 1t Is the distributing point for
much OF the South American and Mexi-
can trade and for no small part Of til at
which goes TO Australia and the South
Saa Islands.
AcHAsGs OF TRADE HARDLY POSSIBLE.
1t will take great deal to remove
this trade, especially when one remem-
bers that this Ia the only good harbor
on tho Pacific, with the exception of
several on Puget Sound. And right
here comes in the chief drawback to
Portland. Its bar will always bs great
check to commerce. 1t is 80 rough that
steamers frequen ,ly lie to for several
days before the sea is smooth enough to
venture in,whils shipa frequently cruise
on and off the mouth of the great river
for a week or ten days, vainly seeking
an opportunity 10 cross the treacherous
bar. There would he millions in it for
Portland If some system Of dredging
out the bar could be devised. But the
prospect of such an engineering feat is
very gloomy. Without il Portland is
destined to see rival to the north-one
of the new cities on the shore of Puget
Sound-surpass il in size and CONNER
cial importance.
