weights, Elmer German and Karl
Arnchrist.

out much advantage to either, and then
Billy Hines and Charles Maguire had n
rap at each other and Hines was declared
the winner.
George Dixon was awarded ring
because Peck would not box. Dixon had
n tussel with Roach just 60 show his style.
Fred Tillistrand and Hugh Martin next
had knock down. Martin was too big
for Lis opponent and he knocked him
out with one punch. Tom Chauncy was
given ring because Tim Hart wouldn't
try his luck. Diamond rings and gold
watches were the prizes TO winners.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
Statistics on Street Cleaning That
You Can Rely On If You Want To.


All day long, on Great Bridge, the great
dump carts roll up loaded with snow.
The snow is dumped on the crossing and
a big gang OF men shovel il into the
river. Then the dump carts go back
to the thoroughfares for another
load and thus the city streets are
cleared of the avalanche. A man of a
speculating and calculating turn OF mind
stood on the bridge this morning and
watched the dump carts and the workers
Then he began to figure, and when he
had finished figuring he made the follow
ing announcement To clear the city's
streets since the Isnowstorm of Tuesday
has required dump cart trips to and fro
equivalent to Bliss round trips OF one
dump cart, and the horses have
travelled 1854 miles, or more
than twice around the world. If only
one man had been employed in shovelling
the snow into the river il would have
taken him IL years, 3 months, A days, 13
hours and Ii minutes to have accomplished
hadn't hurried the task. IL all
the snow had been dumped into the river
nj once instead of from day to day, the
stream would have swelled until il had
ovcrfiowed an average of a foot deep as
far up into the city as Mathewson
street. To have shovelled all this
snow at one instant into the river would
have required 43,51S men, and il one man
had been capable of doing il on the in
stant he would have needed 1858 shovels,
and would have lifted the equivalent
of II 1859, ,432 pounds which would
have fallen into the river with an
impetus sufficient to shoot a
thousand pound cannon ball to the moon
and back again, while the waters OF the
river and bay would have been lifted Is
miles into the air, and falling would have
swept the city off its site
and carried it irresistibly eleven
miles out TO sea. Such are
the awful possibilities which facts and
figures sometimes show. If you don't be-
lieve them you can try it yourself.

Big repairs are being made at the
Riverside steel works. This was need
ed, as the plant mas not been oVerhauled
for the last eighteen months and this
time during the delay caused by the MI
ners' strike is taken as an advantageous
time for the repairs.
Yesterday the moulding Of lay tools,
a new invention, was tried az the ma
chine shops at the Belmont, and found
successful. The idea OF the tool is that
iron and steel articles may be cut with
out the tempering Of the tools. This
will do away with considerable e1-
pense az the mills.
The striking potters Of this city feel
more encouragement than at any time
since the beginning OF the strike. II Is
all caused by the Advisory Board OF the
strikers receiving notification from New
Cum berland that the largest pottery at
that place will DO started in full next
Monday at the old list. These are the
terms for which tho strikers are fight
ing, aud for which the strike was
wazsd. The pottery viii 20 on double
turn, employing four hundred men. 1t
has been idle ever since the strike was
begun-the ped Of last January. Wheel
ing potters are greatly elated over the
victory Of their fellow worEnen up the
river.

Deputy U. S. Marshal Lafe Garden
had an honor conferred upon him in
Cincinnati that rarely falls to the lot Of
a deputy. says the Charleston Mail.
Mr.. Garden YVES in that city Wednes-
day to bring Alex. Campbell, U. S.
prisoner, TO this city, and when he met
his man that worthy didn't want 70
come. Usually in such cases the Dis
trict Attorney sends one OF his own
Marshals with the man, but 10 this case
the Judge Of that district issued bench
warrant and swore in Mr.. Garden as a
deputy of the District Of Southern Ohio,
then ordered him To proceed with Camp
bell to Charleston.
Mr.. Gardens certificate was drawn up,
signed and the oath administered which
makes the gentleman now a deputy
marshal for the two districts, West Vir-
GINA and Southern Ohio.
The Cincinnati certificate will con-
tinue in force until the term of the pres

Yesterday John Groves, who lives

OF Forty-thiri street, had one Of the
closest of calls. He came home in An

bier. which stood on the table, she
hurled it at her husbands head. 1t
struck him Just above the left eve near
the temple, aud cut terrible cash. The
wound was very deep, and nearly 70

third street. was called, and revived the
man, who was knocked down, and IN
conscious for a time. 1t took eiEh;
stitches to sew up the wound. The call
was = very close one, as if the glass bad

coal OIL AS FUEL.

The scarcity Of soft coal owing to the
strikes Of the miners has naturally
caused users OF this fuel 70 look around
for a substitute and has greatly slim
ulated the experiments with and inter
est in coal oil as fuel on both sea and
land.
The fact is brought Gus that oil is not
oplv now very extensively used as =
ubstituts for coal but promises
70 be immensely more so In
the future. Here is another
WAY probably in which the strikers will
DO themselves injury. Should they find
themselves headed of by the liquid
fuel the oonseq uently restricted market
fer ssft coal would put an end 70 all
hope Of better wages.
Already soft coal is declared q
nuisance in many cities and is under
tne ban Of the law, and if oil does away
with the smoke nuisance its general
adoption IN the future is assured,
wish thiyfn prospect the miners and
tbs bosses might we'll reflect seriously
SS he wisdom Of making all the hay
possible while the sun shines, and to
this end making mutual concessions.
