MANY COAL TOWS
Passed Wheeling Yesterday Dur
ing Forenoon aud Afternoon.
THE PACIFIC NO. rs BIG TOW
Well in tho Van. with About 100000
Bushels of tho Dusky Diamonds.
Several Barges Were Sent co the
Bottom on the Upper River, as Is
Usually the Case During Big Coal
Ruu-other News OF tho River.

The Pittsburgh coal feet began to pass
Wheeling yesterday morning. the ad.
vance guard being the big Sam Brown,
which steamed by at II in the morning,
all OF her twelve boats being in first
class shape. The Brown evidently had
good start, for the second boat, the
Joseph Walton, did not pass until two
hours later, followed almost Immediately
by the Mariner and Valiant. During
the balance Of the afternoon the river
was thick with coal tows, the steamers
passing down as follows: John Moran
and Stella Moran, 2 p. m; Dick Fulton,
Pacific No. ., B. D. Wood aud S. l.
Wood at p. M; Josh Cook aud Cres-
cent at 8 p. M; Enterprise, Hornet No.
9, Smoky City, Fred Wilson and Ray
mond Horner at 3 p. m. Another dl-
vision OF the feet, numbering fifteen or
twenty tows, also went down during the
night.
The river front was lined with large
number OF people during n portion OF
the afternoon watching the tows Us they
passed down. The Pacific No. 2 that
passed down at 3 p. M, came in for the
most attention, as sho was handling the
largest tow ever sent out Of Pittsburgh,
in front Of boat OF her class. She had
seven coal boats aud thirteen bargeS.
When seen here everything seemed to
be lin good shape in the tow. The tonnage
of her tow was 100000 bushels. It
would require 1000 gondola coal cars to
transport that much coal by rail, and
with twenty cars to the train, titty
trains would be required. The differ
ence in the cost OF the transportation by
rail as compared to water would be i'm
mense.
The channel of the river from Pitts
burgh is covered with many a snnken
barge Of coal, one OF the inevitable re-
suits OF big run Of coal out OF Pitts
burgh. Captain Calhoun, OF the Key
stone State, yesterday reported the tol-
lowing barges which form distractions
to navigation:
One barge at the foot Of Norman.
outside the channel; one barge above
Hays bar; one barge below the govern
ment light at Trap; one barge off stuke's
run, on the Ohio side, not in the chan
mel; one barge near the poor house at
Raccoon, on the Ohio side OF the
channel.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The case of the South Brooklyn dis trict school against Hugh Saults has been settled to the satisfaction of the defendant and plaintiff.
 James MeNaught of Riverside park. an employe of Benedict IS Burnham's, re- ceived bad bruise on the second and third fingers of the left hand. while at work on an overhauling machine this afternoon Dr Frost dressed the injured hand.
 The democrats of the third ward are dissatisfied over the result of the election as they have just reason to be. The rrgu- lar caucus nomines of the ward did not re- ceive the support they had reason to expect from their fellow democrats. There were people who talked and worked against Daniel J. Mahaney. James Horigan and Lawrence CTonin. who could not assign any valid reason for their opposition to these men. James Horigan made a good showing in the other wards, but did not re- ceive the support he deserved in his own ward. Mir Mahaney should have been elected. The ward promised him its sup port and he was entitled to receive it Himself and his friends worked faithfully for the success of the whole tlcket The defeat of Mir Cronin was due to the same petty jealousies that eliminated in the defeat of the other candidates. There was a good deal of talk about the A. r. A. towards certain candidates before .lection, but those same candidates found that the opposition came from their own people and from a source where they had no reason to expect.

One of tho robbers rode on tho blind baggage out of Marlcopa. while the other two Jagged the train. As it slack ened up the fellow aboard passed quickly into the engine, and at the point of two revolvers forced Engineer Holloway and Fireman Martin to descend, uncouple the engine and proceed ahead of the train for a half or three quarters of n mile.
 In the meantime one of the masked rob bers had entered the express cur while the other stood outside. No shots werc fired, nor were the passcnG ,rs alarmed while tho robbery was in proGIess.

 When the boy came from the car. tho trainmen who were under the bandits guns were compelled to march with tho bandits short distance into tho bushes. There the robbers released their prisoners, and mounting their horses rode away.
 The penalty for rohbing trains in Ari- zona is death.
 The posse led by Sheriff Murphy of Maricopa, found the trail of the robbers at the point where they had crossed the Gila river seven miles east of Phenix. Soon afterward they came upon O camp which the robbers bad hastily abandoned. There they found three winchester rifles and three horses
 Not long after this they overhaulcd one of the bandits. whom they called upon to throw up his hands. Instead hc turned upon the officers and fired, but a charge of buckshot from the shertf's gun brought him to the ground.
