Negro Burglar.

A burly negro,apparently well dressed,
entered the residence of Mr.. Il. Hart, on
Belvin street, about 10 o'clock this morn
ing, by crawling through a back win
dow. Mrs. Hart, who was lying very Ill
in bed, was awakened by his touching
her pillow, and supposing 1t was her
husband, she spoke to him. Receiving
no reply she put her hand out and felt
the fellows clothes and then his woody
head. Realizing that the man was a
burglar, she screamed loudly and the
fellow ran away before the family was
thoroughly aroused. Mr.. Hart was up
stairs at the time. 1t would not be safe
for the fellow to visit that house again
or indeed the neighborhood, as the citl-
zens are determined there shall be NO

YESTERDAYS MATCH.
THE CONTEST BETWEEN PEN
ROSE AND PRICE.
they Both Fight Hard With the
Live Birds Price Badly Beaten
with Clay Pigeons.

The contest between Gwynne Price
and II. A. Penrose, took place yes
terday afternoon ut the San Pedro
Base Ball park. The match was origin
ally for 100 birds from five traps, 30
yards rise. The decision as to which Of
the traps to be pulled Icing decided by
dice, not seen by either contestants.
The stake was $3.50 a side and to be shot
under English rules, use OF both barrels
being allowed. Prior to the commence
ing Of the match 1t was rearranged.
This was brought about by reason Of the
supply OF pigeons being short. It was
then agreed upon that they should
shoot at rs many BIRDS as
had been obtained and the remainder
OF the match at clay pigeons at Is yards
rise, the stakes being reduced to $500
side. These preliminaries having been
satisfactorily adjusted, MIR. Mickleiohn
was chosen as referee. Gwyne Price
used DAILY gun (No. 10Y Dittmar pow
der and II ounce 9 shot, Penrose using
Lefevre gun mo. lO) black powder
and II ounce o shot The match COM
menced by Penrose opening II, killing
his bird. Price followed and downed
his bird with the second barrel. Until
his twelfth shot Penrose did not miss
single bird, Price having one dead out
OF bounds in his sixth shot and doing the.
same AS Penrose In his twelfth. PEN
rose then lost four consecutive birds,
Price in the same number losing two.
from that point on until the lG shot
when the birds gave out, the shoot
ing varied but little and they stood even
on the last bird. The score OF the live
birds stools as follows:

Penrose had dead out Of bounds, |

one through his gun not exploding.
Price had four dead out of bounds,
3 quartering birds, 2 incomers.
The remainder OF the match was COM
paratively uninteresting, II being evid-
ent that Gwynne Price was not vt home
with the clay pigeons or his No. g shot
was too large. The score at the conclu-
sion stood thus:

ward toward the outward surface Of
mound beneath which it was, no matte
how feeble this curve might be out
lined, he would know at once that til,
producing cause of the mound had op
Grated beneath every one of thes,
curves. This he would know beyond
a doubt. All must know that. Has
such an investigation ever been made
1t has in part. While in the States,
was accustomed to travel more or less
for period of sixty odd years, orer d
large prairie country where these
mounds were numerous for distance
of thirty or forty miles, one or two al
most mountains bat still in mound
shape. 1t was known that coal existed
in this region, but there was wood
enough, SO this coal was not needed
for fuel and there was no transportation
at hand. Recently this coal region
has been worked. The stratum of coal
varies from one to two and half feet
thick and lies from six to ten feet below
the surface. This coal is under these
mounds as well as elsewhere. The way
in which this coal is mined is this. A
ditch say six feet wide and from one
to two hundred yards long is dug down
to the coal. This dcne the coal is TAX
en- out. then another ditch Of like di-
mentions is dug by the side of it, and
the dirt is thrown where the coal was
taken from and and so on as much as
is demanded. In digging this coal
wherever mound rises above there is
a mound of coal beneath just like the
one above.
Ii the mound is large or small, high
or low, the coal mounds correspond
with it. Now If all the earth were
taken off AMI there would be coal
mounds, everywhere over the surface
just like the mounds are now, which
shows that the agency that produced
the mounds of coal also, AMI that this
agency was underneath both mounds,
and that it was not artificial, but geo
logical, therefore the proof is almost
tAiOIAdCCd G.ldb Vic iuOuHuS dtc iOI df-
tiicial, but that they are geological iu
their origin. | do not say that coal is
under all the mounds In the United
States, but since the above cited fact is
known further investigations may dis
cover facts and phenomena in different
parts of the country under these mounds
that shall more clearly satisfy the most
skeptical and prejudiced mind. I will
not say more clearly but the evidence
will be constantly accumulating until
the last vestige Of our false teachings on
! this point, and the fancied theories of his
tory, and the pictured tribes of giants
working with Titan diligence for ages
and the countless tribes running for
dear lfe from the rising waters, and
the whole people bowling in fervent de
votion around these mounds, celebrat
ing the Fourth of Jelly completion oil
work that should stand as long as
grass grows and water flows, shall van
