In Trouble Again.

David Davis, tailor, was before the
Mayor Yesterday morning charged with
drunken and disorderly behavior. The
Mayor dismissed him with a reprimand.
After having been liberated he entered
a saloon on the river front, cursed the
bartender and threw bottle and a glass
into the river. He was arrested and
again made to face the Mayor this morn
ing. The prisoner made no defense,
but started to make a statement, pre-
facing it with the observation that he
had been in hard luck. His honor
would listen to no more, and said, eyes,
you are in hard luck, and if you fail to
pay so fine you will spend the next
thirty days on the chain gang"

HAULING COAL.

The writer who has always been an
advocate of our honorable Mayor, does
not agree with his views in stopping
the Electric Railway Company from
transporting coal through the streets Of
our city, and especially when the coal in
question is necessary to operate the
company's plant. The same objection
might be made by his honor to the
hauling of sand and gravel within the
city limits for the support and mainte-
nance of the company's tracks, but both
objections would seem from reasonable
standpoint to be unwarranted. Even if
the railroad people have not complied
with every demand made 10y the city, it
cannot be denied that the electric rail-
way company furnishes good service
between this city and Washington, the
franchise of which laid undisturbed by
the people of this, my native city, until
foreign capital came forward and con-
structed and equipped the present line.
Let us be reasonable, and possibly after
awhile our city fathers may have an
other opportunity to grant another
franchise whereby the city will receive
sixteen hundred dollars per annum for
the use of some other street.

A Number of Fires.

From early last night until shortly
after eight o'clock this morning there
was an extraordinary number OF fires IN
this city, and it is suggested that cases
OF pyromania are still in evidence.
Between eight and nine o'clock last
night the residence Of Mr.. Lewis Edelen,
corner of Princess and Alfred streets,
was found to be on fire. The flames,
however, were extinguished before any
material damage resulted.
Between II and O'Clock wagon in
the yard adjoining Summers Bros. coach
factory, on south Pitt street, was discov-
cred by Special Officer Genzberger to
be burning. Word was sent to the
Columbia engine house and Engineer
Smith and Driver Taylor repaired to the
scene with fire extinguisher and soon
subdued the flames. The burning wagon
was in close proximity to the factory and
had it not been discovered a disastrous
confagration would doubtless have fol-
lowed.
Later another wagon was found to be
burningin the alley in the rear of james
+. Muir's furniture store on King street,
near St. Asaph. Messrs. Smith and
Taylor extiDguished this also.
Another fire was discovered in the
same alley subsequently which seemed
to be of mysterious origin. This was
also quickly subdued.
The next fire was found in the alley
adjoining Mr.. VIM. Demaine's under
taking establishments on King street, near
Alfred. This, like the others, was ex-
tinguished as soon as discovered.
A slight fire occurred in the Bell-Pre
Bottle Company's works, in the northern
part of the city, between three and four
O'Clock yesterday evening, caused by the
accidental ignition of some fluid. The
flames leaped toward the ceiling, but by
prompt action they were quickly sub
dued.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
smoke began to pour from the roof of
frame house on the north side of Wolfe
street, between Fairfax and Lee, and an
alarm was sounded. The department
was quick in responding and in a short
time the fire was checked and all damage
over The fire was caused by a defec-
tive hue. The house is occupied by Mr..
Henry Just and is owned by Mrs. Annie
L. Hamilton.

she DID NOT RECLAIM THE COIN

Though Given the Opportunity, Mrs.
Stanford Did Not Repent.
Those who pass the plate" in coun-
try churches are not often regaled
with the glitter Of gold among the
contributions. 1t is related that about
ten years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Leland
Stanford were travelling through the
middle west incognito. They happened
to be in Bloomington, Ind, one Sum
day, and pursuant to their usual GUS
tom went to church. They attended
the Christian church Of Bloomington,
then largely in the hands OF Amzi At
water.
When the plate was passed for the
collection Mrs. Stanford dropped in q
SO gold piece. Mr.. Atwater was tho
deacon in charge of the collection
taking. It was noticed that the ush-
ers held hurried conference with him
when the money was taken forward.
At Its conclusion Mr.. Atwater said:
Ladies and gentlemen, there has evi-
IDENTIFY been a mistake. Some one has
dropped SO gold piece into the COL
lection. If he will pass up after the
services we will be glad to allow him
to exchange it for the amount he in
tended to give" 1t Is, of course, need
less to say that Mrs. Stanford did
not take advantage of the opportunity.
