A Number Of Interesting Gases Tried
Yesterday.

the Postal and Internal Revenue
Laws - Arguments for a New
Trial-A Pension Case on Trial

The Federal Court met yesterday
morning with Judge Goff on the bench.
District Attorney Watts arrived from
Charleston during the day, and will con-
duct the prosecution in cases TO be
tried.
Most Of the time of yesterdays ses-
sion was consumed by the arguments
in the case Of Wheeling Bridge and Ter
minal Company VS.. Judge R. H. Coeh-
ran. The defendant got a judgment in
the recent trial Of the case, and moved
for a new trial. After the attorneys on
both sides had been heard, the case was
taken under advisement
The case of United States VS.. Frank
Ennis was called, a plea Of guilty en-
tered. and as there were eXtenuatng
circumstances. as stated by the District
Attorney. the Judge was lenienJ and
imposed a fine of $50 and costs. Ennis
offense consisted in writing a letter TO
his son. in which he reflected upon the
character of the son $ wife.
Joseph Butler was charged with yio-
lation of the postal laws, in enclosing
letters i'm copies Of newspapers sent to
a young lady. He was represented by
G.. w. Atkinson. Esq. He explained
that he adopted this course to prevent
the letters falling into the hands OF
other parties He WIS fined $40 and
costs. There is another case against n
young lady in this city, for sending OBJ
scene matters through the mails, which
was postponed yesterday.
The case of the United States VS.. VIM.
Johnson. from Hancock county, for
violation of internal revenue laws. was
very interesting. The defendant is an
aged man. who has been confined in Jail
for forty-one days awaiting trial. His
Offeuse consisted in selling a beverage
labelled HOP tea which was simply
lager beer under another name. He
conducted a soft drink establishment
at New Cumberland. and one OF his
customers was Deputy Marshal Nc
MahOn. who went up to ascertain some
thing about the hop tea, which was
having such a prosperous run. The
Marshal was enough of a cOnnOisseur 70
know beer by its taste, and the result
was the arrest OF Johnson. When he
was on trial yesterday, he denied that
the beverage was beer, or that it was
intoxicating. He plead guilty, however
and was fined $40 and costs and SEN
fenced to thirty days in Jail. He will
be taken to the New Cumberland Jail
to-day.

Marion county. Defendant in this case
sold beer at several points under one

and was given a Jail sentence Of thirty
days.

and but three or four had given their
testimony when Court adjourned yes
terday afternoon. G.. w. Atkinson ap-
pears for the defendant.

THE ZULAUF CONCERT.
\ veritable Feast of Music at the Opera

\ VeritabIe Feast of Music at the Opera
House
Mr.. Charles Zulauf's benefit concert
at the Opera House last night was
complete success. The audience, COM
posed of representative lovers of music,
comfortably filled the theatre, and man
ifested its appreciation of the many ex-
cellent numbers, in the most generous
applause. The best local singers as
sisted Mr.. Zulauf, and from an artistic
standpoint it may be said that it was
one of the most successful concerts
ever given in the city.
Messrs. Zulauf, Geyer and Day, Mrs.
Williams and Miss Phillips, are so well
known to the music loving public that
comment upon their work is unneces-
sary. Suffice it to say that none of
them we're ever in better voice. The
solos by Messrs. Hughes and Sweeney,
bassos. were eXcellently rendered, and
the violin selections of Prof. Blumen-
berg were up to his usual high stand
ard of excellence. The Wheeling Male
Ouartette sang two numbers, and Gre
ated a splendid impression. The selec-
ton from Lucia dl Lammermoor,
sung by the sextette, was one of the
most pleasing numbers upon the pro-
gramme.
Miss Sue Caldwell made her first
public appearance, and rendered almost
faultlessly Before the Dawn" a Sc
lection which displayed to good advan-
tage the admirable qualities Of her
voice. She established herself as ia
vorite Immediately, and the audience
was enthusiastic in its approval. Mr.
Hermann Steinman also made his bow
as a soloist, singing Come to Me.
He has a sweet tenor voice, which he
handles well. The reading by Mr..
Robert Darrah was a pleasing diver
sion. and his effort was generously ap-
Dlauded.

Yesterday morning before daylight
Mrs. Lizzie Neville, wife of a well
known Benwood mill workman, was
the victim of a terrible accident which
came near costing her life, and which
will doubtless result in some weeks of
suffering, even if she ultimately recov-
ers.
Mrs. Neville arose about five o'clock
to prepare her husbands breakfast,
and after dressing herself went to the
mantel to procure match to light the
fire in the kitchen stove. While in the
act of reaching for the match the skirts
of her dress were brought in contact
with the fire in the CRATE, where they at
once ignited, and in an instant the wo-
mans clothing was in a blaze.
Almost beside herself with the pain,
Mrs. Neville ran from the house, en-
veloped in the fire, and rushed, scream
ing for help to the house of Mrs. Rit-
ters, a neighbor, where she beat wildly
upon the door, in the hope of attract
ing attention. The family was not up,
however. and before Mrs. Neville's
cries attracted aid she had been horri-
bly, burned. She was found upon the
ground in front Cf Mrs. Ritters door,
and carried to . home, where DR..
Meighen was called. The suffering of
the patient all day was terrible, but
last evening she was resting easier,
and although her condition was crit
zeal. there are some hopes for her ulti-
mate recovery.

Indoor Bicycle Riding.

Nowadays every one wants to ride
a bicycle, but many do not attempt
it because they dread the ordeal Of
learning. In the first place, they dis
like the idea of abrasions and bruises,
and, in the second, they can hardly
bring themselves to the sacrifice Of
dignity which the 1ounderings of the
beginner usually entail. They need
no longer hesitate. The bicycle can
now be learned indoors, safe from
prying eyes and without fear of falls.
A new appliance designed for this pur-
pose consists Of a small f1y-wheel, COW
cred with rubber, and two side wheels,
fitted with simple arrangement by
means OF which it can be adjusted to
any kind of cycle in two minutes. Its
great advantage is that the rider ex-
perlences the same momentum rs in q
spin on a hard road, while the ma
chine either remains stationary or
moves SO slowly that in t%raversing
fifteen feet the same amount Of exer-
else is obtained as In a mile of or.
binary travelling. Practice. can thus
be carried on In q hall or room, and
the riders car gauge the rate of speed
their exertions would have given them
On the highway. For beginners, chill.
dren and tnvalids needing physical ex-
ercise this invention is specially adapt
ed, as 1t stands perfectly steady and
enables the difficulties Of mounting
and dismounting to be thoroughly
overcome without any danger Of falls
or bruises. The appliance is collap.
sible, weighs fifteen pounds and can
be easily carried in the hand.

terting part of the grounds, because,
even IL your ball flies quite near the
hole, a wrong shot may send it not
quite near enough or far beyond, and
so give that hole to your opponent.
This space is called the puttlng.green
and the process Of holing the ball
from here is called putting.
There are two styles OF club, the
wood and the iron clubs. Both have
handles or shafts usually made Of
hickory, which is considered the best
wood for that purpose. The head of
the wood club is made Of beech, apple
or hornbeam. The first named is most
generally preferred. Wood clubs, slod
or soled with brass are termed
brassies. The iron club, which as the
name indicates, is made entirely of
iron. Clubs of Scotch make are gener-
ally considered the best and most re-
liable, and their use recommended.
There are eleven, wood clubs and sew
en- iron clubs. The variety of clubs
used in the game ut first will confuse
the novice, but after awhile he can
pick out his %favorites and thereafter
will have little trouble. Three clubs,

two wood clubs the driver and putter,

for heavy work.
1t may seem an easy matter to
strike the ball, but some beginners

casions it is uncommonly hard, and

STRUCK THE COLONEL.

Sensational Assault Made by Col.
Runkle ON Col. SnOwden.
Philadelphia, June 13.-Col. Louden
Snowden, eX-minister to Greece, ex-
superintendent of the mint, was as
saulted last night while walking on
Market street by Col. William NJ.
Runkle, a prominent military man of
this city, who was a member of the
Third Pennsylvania artillery during
the war. Col. Snowden left the Union
League about 8 o'clock, and was on
his way to the union depot to catch a
train for his country home. When he
reached Fifteenth and Market street
he encountered Col. Ruakle. The lat
ter without Il moments warning raised
his cane and struck Gel. Snowden.
The latter defended himself with his
umbrella, until Col. Runkle's cane was
broken. The latter was then placed
under arrest. At a hearing to. day he
vas held in bail for court. He alleges
that Snowden was instrumental in
having him discharged from the mint
twenty years ago. Snowden is not
dangerously injured.
