THE U. s. DISTRICT COURT.
Nothing but Marine Litigation Going
on Yesterday.


on Yesterday.
In the United States District Court YES
terday morning, the case of L. c. Gibson ct
al vs. the steamer Alice Clark, libel in rem
for salvage, came up for trial Consider
able time was consumed in hearing the
testimony of the witnesses, and to meet the
convenience of the counsel and witnesses
who were steamboat men further proceed
ings were postponed to April %.
The ibelants, who are the officers and
crew of the steamboat Ethel, desire COM
pensation for assistance rendered the Alice
Clark in putting out a fire which broke out
in the cotton cargo of the latter while she
was making a trip from Augusta to Savan-
nah last summer
Argument was also heard on a demurrer
to the libel in the case of John Lawton vs.
the owners of the cargo of the steamer
Katie. The respondents claim that the act
of Congress in 1886, which extended to the
inland waters the right of an owner, to
limit his liability for damages done by his
vessel, to the value of the vessel, is uncon-
stitutional in that it undertakes to regulate
commerce not interstate. The argument
will oe resumed next week
Court adjourned to $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing, with the prospect of a light days bust
ness.

The Java Bark Ready to Begin Dis
charging.
The bark Stavangar, with rice from Bata-
via, is lying at the dock between Bull and
Drayton streets, ready to discharge her
cargo There Is "a variance Of opinion as to
the effect that the importation of Java rice
will have on the price of the domestic pro
duct. Leading brokers and factors say
that the cheaper grades of rice will be
more affected by the importations
than will the higher grades. The prices of
prime and good rice have not been affected
by the Java importations, and they remain
where they have been for some time and

"Mr. Talmage when asked what was the
capacity OF his rice milf declined to give
it, and when it was suggested that il was
located in his Office on Wall street, and was
operated by water motor, or one boy
power made no reply. He did state, how
ever, that the milling cost him pc. a hun
dred. which added 10 the cost OF such rice
abroad, with the freight, insurance, interest
and charges for barrels, etc, will fully
equal Toe. per 100, the difference between
the duties on cleaned and uncleaned rice.
''To that we replied that the so-caled
milling was done here for less than &C. per
hundred pounds, and that the incidental
charges he enumerated were necessarily
incurred by all rice, cleaned or uncleaued,
except probably the cost of mixing little
rice -four with cleaned rice TO give IT an I'M
clean look, which could not be much, and
was done solely 10 defraud. As we are told
that small broken rice IL used in making
beer ami starch, and possibly in other manu-
features, we had 40 objection 70 its being
introduced, by that name or any other, at
the rate of duty prescribed by the tariff,
provided "a No l6 brass wire sieve was
designated as the test of the article. This
would supply the wants of the manufac ur-
ers aud prevent the importation of gooi mid
ding rice under the name of granulated, as
is now done. This did not suit the views of
Mr.. Talmage and he determines TO 20 before
the Committee on Ways and Means and tell
them something they don't know about the
tariff on rice, VIZ: that the duty is 1874 per
cent and rice brings 80 per cent more now
tnan it did before the var. IL the first as
sertion Is true the value ot cleaned rice in
foreign ma kets must be less than one cent

committee or any momber of Congress can
be convinced of this, no matter bow dog

Down i'm n Coal Mine.

"Few people know what 1aborious
work coal mining is, to say nothing of
the danger to which the miner is sub
jected to from foul air and the cavings
in OF the mountain of earth that is al
ways about him, supported ON locust
posts. The men work in pairs, and fire.
quently man with a large family takes
to or three of his little boys to work with
him, in lieu of mate, who will share
his earnings. They start off in the main
passageway or one of it's branches, and
work in the coal vein, and as they adj
vance day by day the hollow which they
cut out, varying in width from fifteen to
thirty feet, is called n room. In time
this room becomes a long gallery. with
a ceiling of slate and smooth floor of
the same material The first thing they
do each day is to make bearing in,
This is done by digging into the coal
with picks and making q big hollow the
whole width of the room, if it is mar
row one, and half the width if it is
twenty or thirty foot room. The hol-
low thus picked out begins at the floor
and extends upward only about eigh-
teen inches, and is four or five feet
deep. To do this requires several hours
and the diggers are compelled to lie on
their sides or backs and swing their
picks. When the bearing in is com
plete the miner sees a huge block of coal
suspended from the room, and blast of
powder causes it to drop, the mass Civ
way downward in the direction of the
hollow he has cut out. Then comes the
work of getting the coal out. 1t is loaded
into wagon on four Hanged wheels
made to fit the tracks in the main pas
sageway, and one of the miners straps
big leathern belt around his waist,
hooks it to the wagon and goes about
pulling, his companion following push
ing at the rear end. When the track in
the passage is reached it is joined to a
train of similar wagons and hauled to
the mouth of the mine. To make a
bearing in, shoot it and haul out the
coal is days work. Each miner fur
nishes his own tools, picks, drills and
shovels, and much of his time is CON
sumed in sharpening the picks. Many
of the miners go to work before daylight
and return after dark, and never see the
sun except on Sundays, on which day,
fortunately, they are not required to
work.

GRIEF SHE COULD NOT BEAR.
Cast or by Wealthy Parents and
Her Husband Sent to Prison.

Miss Mollie Howard, wife of George
Howard, who was sent to the United
States prison at Buffalo, n. Y, three
weeks ago for one year for pension
frauds, diedyery suddenly about 6 o'clock
yesterday morning at 422 West Jefferson
street, where she had been boarding with
Mr.. l.. s. McNichols. After Howards
incarceration in Jail in this city his wife
came here from jacksonville, her home,
to assist him. She had some money,
but it was nearly all gone at the time of
her death.
Howard was convicted in the Federal
court, and when he was taken away Mrs.
Howard became very i'll, but regained
her usual appearance of strength.
Tuesday evening she was taken i'll again.
She had just received a letter from How
ard, which she took to her room to read.
A few moments later she was found I'M
conscious upon the floor. DIR. Turner
Anderson was summoned, and by 5
o'clock yesterday morning she was appa-
rently much better. She insisted upon
dressing and going down to breakfast
She had scarcely left the room when she
fell to the floor dead. Dr. Anderson
says IL Is u stranRe case, hhe GAUSS VI ller
death being a mystery. Coroner Miller
was out of the city yesterday, SO it is not
known whether he will hold an inquest
or not. He returns this morning.
Mr.. McNichols said Mrs. Howard had
frequently told him that her husbands
trouble was killing her. She was about
"a years of age, and stated that she was
the daughter of a wealthy resident of
indianapolis named Pachee, and had
been cast off by her family because of
her marriage to Howard, who was in a
lhwer social position. The relatives at
Indianapolis have been telegraphed to
ascertain what disposition shall be

SHERIDAN DYING.

The general impression is that Lieut..
Gen. Phil Sheridan, the COMMANDMENT
chief Of the United States Army, is now
on his death bed, caused by valvular affec-
ton of the heart. A consultation of four
army doctors was held on Saturday morn
ing and no hope seemed to be entertained
that the patient would recover. The
dying soldier rallied afterwards, and
partook of milk and chicken broth, but on
Sunday he commenced sinking. Digitals
failed to have any effect on him, and
oxygen was administered to prevent
blood poisoning, as he has @dema of the
lower limbs, (dropsical swelling) due to
imperfect circulation of the blood. Bro
mide Of potassium was administered with
chocolate to induce sleep. The last bull
letin from the veterans sick chamber is
to the effect that he is sinking rapidly.

her she appears to be standing.
