There was some fun in Justice Lees
court yesterday over a little civil case
which elected some amusing testimony.
Several weeks ago a blooming grass
widow from Denver, known as Mrs. Nell
lie Powers, arrived in this city. 1t was
rumored that she came in search of a
recreant lover, but be that as it may, she
somehow failed TO catch on. So she de-
cided TO return to Colorado, but when
leaving she ~endeavored to perform the
Arab act by silently stealing away. No
person would have objected to this had
her departure been prefaced with a GER
tain little transaction of a pecuniary ma
ture, but in the absence of even any refer
ence to that matter, her baggage, as
personated by a diminutive valise, was
attached. After fighting the case in an
cratic way for three weeks, and after
spending several times the amount in
volved, she Yesterday obtained a judgment
in favor of-the opposite side. Last night
she took the train for Denver, but left
behind the expression of her sentiments
about Cheyenne.

From the Boomerang.
About 6 O'Clock this morning, Andrew
Cloughly, a fireman on the road, while in
the act of getting water at the tank. was
struck on the head by the water spout,
cutting IN u~glylooking hole in his scalp
about two inches long clear to the bone.
He leaves here to 20 to the company hos
pital at Denver and, in all probability, will
be laid up for some time. Drs. Stevens
and Foster dressed the wound.
Among the cases to be tried next week
is that of John L. Lusk, who is charged
with horse stealing. He was brought
here from Fort Fetterman a few days ago,
and claims that he is not at all to blame
for what he has done. 1t appears that he
has been associating with a very tough
gang lately, and claims that they drugged
him, and while in a half unconscious con-
dition forced him to sign a bill of sale.
The horse belonged to a Cheyenne man
Lusk does not look like a bad man, and
whether guilty or not, it is to be hoped
this will be a lesson to him.

WESTERN COAL.
scientific Men Discussing M Character
Of our Fuel supply.

Recent issues Of the Naming Rcpiesoc con-
tain articles upon the character of Wyom-
ing and Colorado coal. Several years ago
Prof. +. J.. Stanton published a little work
upon the carbonates Of Leadsiiie and the
formation Of the coal Of Colorado, in
which he adyanceda theory somewhat new
at that time, but one which has since been
quite generally accepted by scientific gen
tlemen. The discussion in the Reriesc was
caused by the statements of Lesqueroux,
Hayden. Raymond and others, that the
Goals Of this region were lignites. Prof.
Stanton maintained that the immense coal
fields of Wyoming, three times the size of
the coal area Of Pennsylvania, contain an
excellent bituminous coal. The theoreti-
cal discussion has attracted considerable
attention. and recently Prof. N. A. Bib
kov. the well known Russian scientist.
wrote an able article in defense Of the
stand taken by Prof. Stanton. To quote
from his article
What's in a name?' Very much;
particularly for capitalists, whose time is
money, who therefore, have no time 10

ject things according to the brand. The

word HgnsUl wood, implies that nthese

no more woody structure than a brick;
this is, with the exception of occasional
insignificant horizontal layers, or rather
surfaces, which, when the coal is care

it is true, when boiled in a solution of
potassa, gives a slight brownish color to
the liquid, but not much more than some
bituminous Goals Of Pennsylvania.
Would this fact be sufficient to call the
coal 'lignite, when in othor respects it
is equal in quality to the Pennsylvania
bituminous' coals2 Further, the name
of Ignite is generally applied to ter
tiary and cretaceous Goals, while the !
western belong to the ~triassic or even the
j~urassic formation. Another reason why
these Goals should be classed as btu
minous Goals is that the have undoubtedly
been formed by an outflow or overflow of
bitumen or petroleum. l say SO because,
in the vicinity of coalfelds, that is, about
twelve miles northeast Of Gallup / found
a free flow Of bitumen. and in addition to
it l have reasons to believe that we will

The conditions referred to above exist in
heIWyoming coal regions, andthere seems
to be little doubt that the coal of this
territory will rank with the bituminous
products of the Pennsylvania mines.

What Is Said in New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Bankers and mer.
chants Of New York express various views
concerning the silver dilemma, many Of
them being exceedingly reticent upon tho
subje Mr.. John Pondir thinks that the sill
yer trade dollar Is to be blame for all the
trouble. "Any one could sss,H be .saiG
that this silver question would be forced
op rs sooner or later, owing to the immense
production of silver in Nevada and elsa
FhsFe. But We could have weathered the
storm bravely if we had maintained a
standard silver measure, and had not been
such asses as to introduce the abominable
trade dollar. What was the consequence of
that measure. Why, public confidence was
destroyed, trade was scared, and bankers
did not know whether they stood on their
heads or their heels"

Cleveland has been in conference, much of
this week, with leaders Of the Democratic
party of the state and Of other states, with q
yiew Of selesting IN acceptable cabinet

policy. It may be stated positively
that two members Of the cabinet have been
definitely decided on-Thomas +. Bayard,
pf lelawaFe, for secretary Of state, aad
Samuel J. Randall of Pennsylvania,
for secretary of the treasury. Beyond
these, nothing has as yet been ab.
solutely decided, although there is gen.
eral impression here that Whitney, of New
York, will be secretary Of the interior. The
talk of Illinois getting cabinet appoint
ment is all talk; there is not the least prob
ability Of that. The west will probably Sc
