OPIUM IN COAL.
Important Seizure on the Steamer
City of Puebla.


The custom officials made clever seiz.
ure of opium yesterday on the steamer
City of Puebla and are elated over their
success, having been baffled on that shin
on several previous occasions.
The City of Puebla arrived In port Sat.
urday morning from Victoria, B. c., and
Puget Sound ports.
a double force of inspectors were put
on board, but owing to the peculiar con-
struction of the vessel little hone was
entertained OF finding any contraband
opium. Night Inspector William Harri.
gan was suspicious of the engineers de-
partment and kept close watch on IL
during the night.
He was amply rewarded for. his pains.
for early yesterday morning he found 312
fve-tael tins of opium bundled In the bur-
lap and ready to be either thrown over
board or passed through loophole in the
side. The opium was discovered In the
firemen's department.. 1t WAS neatly
made up in parcels with q sack covering
which was black with coal dust and con-
tanned particles of coal. This fact was
sufficient evidence tba the drug had been
concealed in the coal-bunkers The esti-
maled value of the seizure is $4,000.
This is tho second time within a month
that opium was seized on the CITY of
Puebla. On her third last trip from Vic
tOria 300 tins were found.

FIGHT ON THE ALTAR.
An Insane Priest Furiously Assails
His Superior.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Feb. 11-There was
an exciting time to-day in st. Peters
Roman Catholic Church. and the Spec
tacle of one priest assaulting another on
the altar caused panic among he large
congregation which attended the mass
service.
The pastor of st. Peters is Father VIII
liam j. Hill, man of middle age, while
Father Patrick Y. Mcdonald, a young
man about 80 years of age. is his assist
ant. The latter was the celebrapt of the
mass, while Father Hill was on the altar
as deacon.
When Father Hill commenced reading
the notices for the day Father Mcdonald,
who was kueeling, suddenly rose. and.
turning to Father Hill, said: ''You can't
speak here" Father Hill was taken by
surprise and whispered to his assistant to
keep quiet, but the latter, who weighs 200
pounds, rushed at Father Hill and knocked
him down the altar steps.
Father Mcdonald then picked up the
chalice and Father Hill attempted to take
lt from him. The former dealt him a
blow under the left ear, which knocked
him down. The startled congregation by
this time was wild with excitement, and
several men in the front pews jumped
ever the chancel rail and prevented Father
Mcdonald from committing further vio-
lence.
Some of the congregation had in the
meantime run to the Buter-street station
for assistance and Father Mcdonald was
taken TO the rectory opposite the church
and confined in his apartments. Word
was sent TO Bishop Mcdonnell, who
directed Vicar-General Men mara to make
an investigation. Meanw lille, Father Nc
Donald had become SO violent it was evil
dent he was insane. Later he was removed
to ST.. Peters Hospital, where it was found
necessary to detail policeman to attend to
him.
Father Hill said he was taken entirely
by surprise, as Father Mcdonald had
never before manifested signs of insanity,
and he could not account for his sudden
deranpement

On the other side tabout the size and shape of an ordinary Lusi- ness envelopel the address was written in the center, the name of the post-town and the date the letter was posted above. and the name of the member who franked it in the left-hand corner.
 The whole of this inscription, as we have seen, had to be in the handwrit- ing of the members the frank was only available on the date named on the cover, and if the superscription chanced to be incorrect the letter was charged in the ordinary way. This was no joke to the recipient, because a members frank cleared an ounce. no matter how many inelosures a letter might contain, whereas the postage on an unfranked letter was doubled if the small scrap of paper was inclosed, a letter being charged according to the number of inclosures it contained and the distance it had to travel, instead of by weight, as now.-Longman's Magazine.

 Franking was one of the privileges ot a member of parliament, who might have his letters delivered and had the right to dispatch them free of charge Mr. Hyde, in the Royal Mail, says; Be fore the year 1764 members of parlla- ment had merely to write their names on the covers to insure their core spondence free passage through the post, and packets of such franks were furnished by members to their friends who laid them past for use as occasion required. Nay, more. trade was car ried on in franks by the servants ot members, whose practice ii was to ask their masters to sign them in great numbers at a time.
 .It was even suspected, and probably with sufficient reason, that franks were forged to a large extent, and, had postage been paid on all franked core spondence, it is estimated that the revenue would have been increased to one hundred and seventy thousand pounds.
