IL Oliver Goldsmith were alive to

could find many deserted village there

his beloved Auburn, the lOvclicst of the
plain. In Kansas alone. according to
the New York World, where it would
appear that townc as well as individuals
have felt the disastrous results of
phlebotomy, there are fully twenty such
abandoned villages, and in Nevada,
California, Georgia and Alabama they
are numerous. Once thriving mimi.
camps like Bodic and White Pine that
rev great in night; boom towns such
as Fargo Springs, that sprang up as
quickly as if magician had called
them into being, and prosperous and
substantial cities like Sumner, in early
days the most important town and
prospective metropolis Of Kansas
scores of these dccayed municipalities
now lie abandoned and dcsolate, their
houses empty of hunsan tenants and
rotting away, their streets thick with n
rank growth Of weeds, and only few
old timers, or in some cases only q soli-
tary postmaster, left to tell men of the
present generation of their former
hustle and prosperity. In various in
stances, as at Petersburg, in. Georgia,
nothing but mounds of earth and u
populous cemetery remain to testify TO
the towns departed glory.
Especially mournful has been the
fate of those abandoned towns whose
only inhabitants to-day arc the animals
and reptiles that have left prairie and
sand hills to take refuge in the deserted
dwellings,. Time has played one Of his
most fantastic tricks with human for

every side stand mute reminders of the
fcvcrish activity Of the past to intensity
the sad stiffness of the present.
Perhaps the most striking of accounts
Of ruined boom towns are those which
relate the untoward fate Of Pierce City
and Kit Carson. Less than genera.
ton ago Pierce City, with its lawlcss
population Of twenty thousand miners
and gamblers, was one of the most
notable settlements between Denver
and the coast. Its inhabitants to-day
are a handful of Cinnamon, while Kit
Carson has only one hundred left Of the
seven thousand restless souls, who
twenty years ago sought gold by day
and revelry by night.

perate, says Youths Companion, as 1t
has sometimes been represented. Petro-
leum, for instance, is beginning to be
used in the place of coal. Many per-
sons connect petroleum with coal in
their minds, supposing that the two are
always found in the same localities, and
are necessarily related to one another
in their origin. But this is not SO. Pc
troleum is far more widely distributed
than coal.
Coal is found principally in one kind
of strata, namely, the so-called carbon
ferrous formation, but petroleum or
rock oil exists in many different strata,
and the famous Russian chemist, DIR.
Mendelieff, believes that it is constant
ly being formed in the interior of the
earth by the action of the water which
slowly leaks downward upon metals
contained in the heated core of the
globe.
In this respect, then, petroleum diff
fers greatly from coal, because the lat
ter is not now being formed--at least
not in any considerable quantity-while
petroleum, If the theory just stated is
correct is a constant product of the in
ner activity of the planet.
But it is not likely that we shall be
compelled to resort solely to petroleum
when our coal supplies have been ex-
hausted, for science is continually open
ing up for us new sources of energy in
nature. Electricity holds forth some as
yet indefinite promises, which scientific
men think may revolutionize the me.
chanical world.
1t is not likely, then, that future gen.
erations will either freeze to death or
abandon the machinery of civilized life
when the last ton Of coal has been lifted
out of the rocks.

The running horses from Mesa City
will also be on the ground and good

THE COAL SUPPLY.
There Is No Immediate Danger OF its
Rurning Out.

There Is No Immediate Danger OF its
Running Out.
The enormous consumption of coal
and its ultimate result, the exhaustion
OF the supply, have frequently been re.
ferred to by way of warning and admo-
milton. There is, of course, a limit to
the amount of coal that man can obtain
from the crust of the earth. The con-
ditions under which the carboniferous
deposits were made, and the localities
where they can be found and worked.
are known, and it is not unlikely that
within a few centuries mankind win
have to look elsewhere for the mechan-
ical energy which is now derived from
the burning of coal.
But the situation is not quite SO dcs-

"a Scenic Trip to the White City" was
the title of Mrs. Newall's lecture. which
began with a beautifully illustrated ac-
count Of California and Colorado scenery
en- route for Chicago. The entrance to the
fair grounds was then shown, followed by
artistic views of the various structures
beginning with the Administration build
Ing with its beautiful glded dome. which
rises above all the other constructions in
the White City.
The Moorish looking TRANSPORTATION
building was then shown, and the hearers
were told that nowhere do we realize the
past and appreciate the present so iuuch
as when looking at all the ancient and
modern means of getting from place TO

STILL A MYSTERY.
What Caused Newton w.
Halls Death.
An Analysis of His Stomach Shows
Sufficient Opium to Bring
About Fatal Results.

The mystery surrounding the death of
Newton w. Hall. the young Englishman.
instead of being cleared up. seems as deep
as ever.
The stomach was sent to DR.. Charles l..
harrington for analysis. and he has re-
ported to the Coroner that he has found a
considerable quantity of opium. more
than sufficient to cause death. He is still
working on the case in order to ascertain
the exact quantity.
1t will be remembered that Hall was
found in an unconscious condition on the
sidewalk on Ellis street, in front of Ed
win A. Gillespie's house, about 5 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon. November 25 He
was taken 10 the Receiving Hospital.
where his wound was dressed. and as It
was believed he was drunk he was quar-
tered in the City Prison.
Next day. Sunday. il was found that he
was still in stupor. and as he had In his
restlessness torn the bandages from his
head he was taken back tn the hospilal.
where the wound was again dressed. and
he was put to bed in the hospital.
One of his friends called at the hospital
that night and the discovery was made
that Hall was suffering from conclusion Of
the brain and likely to die. He died next
morning and Gillespie was arrested and
charged with murder because he had heen
seen by several witnesses to throw Hall
down his front steps, although he pro-
tested that Hall stumbled and fell.
The Coroner's inquest followed and a
verdict was brought in as follows:
That Newton w. Hall. aged 80 years. naliv-
lty England, OccuOation commission agent resi-
dence Hotel MiramOnte city and county of San
Francisco, died November II, 1888 at The City
Receiving Hospital from cerebral hemorfhage.
resulting from fracture of skull, and wefurtbtf
down the stairs at $50 Ellis street. in which
fall deceased sustained injuries which. ioge tber
with careless and improper treatment received
the tie City aud County Receiving Hospital,
caused his death.
But IL the evidence now in possession of
the Coroner that sufficient quantity of
opium was found in Halrs stomach to
Cause death had peen laid before the jury,
would they have returned this verdict?
The perplexing question naturally arises,
was Halls death caused by conclusion of
the brain. due to the wound In tia brck OF
his head received from falling down Gil
lespie's front stems, oi was ii due to
opium poisoning, or bot h?
bout forty huurs elai sed from the time
Hall was found on Ellis street till his
death. This lapse of time would not de.
tract from the presumption that bis deatl,
was due to opium poisoning, as 1t is some
what erratic in getting in its deadly work.
There have been cases where only forty
i've minutes elapsed from the time the
poison was taken till death ensued. and
there have also been cases where two,
three and even four days elapsed.
What effect the discovery made by DIR.
Darlington will have upon the case against
Gillespie remains To be seen.

THE SAME THING.
Bostons Easily Beat the

The Home Team Though Working
Hard Plays in Bad Luck.
Score J to L.

The San Franciscos played in hard luck
yesterday at Haight street. They put I'D

but the only times they straightemed Car

with two men out. The twenty base hits
In the game were equally divided between
the locals and the gentlemen from John
L. Sullivan's home, but glance at the
tabulated score shows that the visitors got
their runs and their safe swipes in the
same inning.
The batting of the eight-time cham
pions of the world was like breakfast
bacon-a streak of lean and streak of
fat, the oleaginous streaks yielding re-
spectively two. one and four runs, aided
by two coincident errors on behalf of the
Sunset aggregation.
young" johnson of Santa Rosa faced
the Boston batters, and was steady
enough for the most part. The ten hits
made off his delivery were OF the aggra-
vating sort. not long or hard. but just out
of reach. The infield work of the home
team was up 10 the mark-sharp and accu-
rate.
The silent man who plays center field for
the visitors made brilliant circus catch
OF short-hit fly two inches from the
ground. In the fifth inning he retired the
side.
The Sau Franciscos' lonesome run was
achieved by Powers two-bagger into dee 0
right. McCarty's muff of Stanley's hit
advanced him to third, and he scored on a
hard infield hit by PeQuigney.
LII the third inning Kittredge hit safe
rast second and was forced out by Carsey.
Hoy rolled one over first base and Carsey
took third. scoring on Stanley's low throw.
The mute crossed the plate on Duffy'S

from Davis bat
In the seventh Kittredge led off with a
two-bagger. Carsey struck out. Hoy
