SLAVERY IN ENGLAND.

In go IL Vas THAT the Courts De-
ciared IL TO BE Illegal.
In lTT2 slavery was declared hy the
Judges 10 be contrary 10 the law Of
England. Bur during the years i'm
mediately preceding this date slaves
were commonly sold in England. In
the previous year a Birmingham paper
advertised for sale "A negro boy,
sound. healthy and of mild DISPOSE
ton while in the same year another
paper records (and condemns the sale
a short time previously at Richmond
of a negro boy for f32. This is be
lieyed to have been the last actual sale
of a slave that took place in England.
White slavery was very common in
the English colonies in the seventeenth
century. Cromwell seized Irish boys.
girls and women by the thousand"
and sold them in the slave markets
of Barbados" as may be seen in num-
berless places in the state papers of the
period. He treated some of his royaiist
opponents in England and Scotland in
the same way. A similar fate befell
many of the supporters of Monmouth's
rebellion in the west of England. In
the latter case, as Macaulay tells us,
the ladies of the court including the
queen. made large profits on the sales.

The Economy of Burning Small Coal.


Ii is q common delusion that a small
fuel must necessarily be of low calorific
value, and accordingly of doubtful eco
nomic value even if il can be burned.
As a matter of fact, many small fuels
are of excellent calorific value, and
when burned with suitable appliances
will show a phenomenal saving. Again
and again have / seen an evaporation
Of ten pounds of water per pound of
fuel obtained with slack from Welsh
steam coal costing from 8 TO 6 shillings
per ton less than the large coal. Slack
from a good Welsh steam coal is really
remarkable value for money as COM
pared with the large coal from which
it is separated. Generally speaking,
twenty tons of such slack will eyapo-
rate fully as much water as nineteen
tons of the large coal, and assuming
their respective costs per ton TO be 10
shillings and 20 shillings the saving to
the steam user will be the difference
In cost between twenty tons at II
shillings per ton and nineteen tons at
20 shillings per ton. say f4.-W. F.

Stampede of Cattle.

San Francisco, April 20.-Anoth- CT series of fatalities occurred yester- day, caused by the stampeding of q herd of cattle at Sixth and Folsom streets. Three hundred fthe panic stricken animals ran amuck when they felt the flames and charged wildly down the street, trampling under foot all who were in the way. One man was gored by a maddened bull. At least dozen persons, it is said, were killed.
 The death is reported of Dr J. C.. Stinson, we'll known young physi- clan and former member of the city board of health. who was killed in his room at the California hotel Wednesday morning by the earth quake shock.
 The Call says this morning that the president of one of the San Fran cisco banks has wired directions to his manager to place s3.000,000 in the hands of the citizens relief and restoration committee to be used at it's discretion. Subsequent subscrip- tions have added s191,500 to the fund.
 The work of clearing up the debris has already begun at the water front in the business section. One hum dred men were employed this morn ing under the direction of the street department.

caused the water in the harbor to rise rapidly and fear was felt that a tidal wave might sweep over the city. However, inside of six minutes the vibrations ceased and no further ones were noted during the day.
 The vibrations had the effect of causing almost panic among the in habitants who had learned of the catastrophe which destroyed San Francisco. Crowds rushed into the streets when the vibrations were first felt and endeavored to make their way out of the business district as soon as possible, preferring to take their chances in the sugar plan tations in the open rather than to endure the danger of having the buildings falling upon them.
 Fear of possible disorders as re- suit of the panic resulting from the vibrations caused the landing of a considerable force of marines from the men-of-war in the harbor. These, with the assistance of local police, were able to restore order shortly and within an hour after the vibra tions had ceased and conditions had become normal again business was everywhere resumed and the popula- tion went on its way as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

HIS TRIP POSTPONED.
Court Must Pass on His Case Before
 He Sees Europe,

Salvatore Gugliotti will not go to Europe tomorrow as was his inten- tion. It is very doubtful if he will go there for year or two, for war rant was issued for his arrest this morning charging him with mayhem. Salvatore and Dominica Gugliotti are cousins and they boarded at 12O Meadow street. This morning Salya- tore was to leave for New York and sail for Italy tomorrow. He got drinking last night and incidentally he became very ugly. He made things very unpleasant for his name sake, but Dominica, it is said, paid no attention to him until he was compelled to by the personality of his remarks. Then the trouble be- gan. The men fought and Salvatore bit a piece of the top of Dominicos nose. The wound was of such a na- ture that the attending physician deemed it prudent to have the man conveyed to the hospital without de- lay and he was taken there with all possible dispatch.

For miles through the park and along the beaches from Ingleside to the sea wall at North Beach the home less are camped in tents, makeshifts rigged up from a few sticks of wood and a blanket or sheet Some few of the more fortunate secured vehicles on which they loaded regulation tents and therefore are more comfortably housed than the great majority. It is said that fully one hundred thousand persons, rich and poor alike, sought refuge i'll Golden Gate park alone. and two hundred thousand more homeless ones located at the other places of refuge.

 It is said when the flames threat ened to reach the square the dead, mostly unknown. were removed to Columbia square. where they were buried when danger threatened that quarter.

So thick were the corpses piled up that they were becoming menace and the order was issued to bury them at any cost The soldiers were needed for other work so at the point of rifles. the. citizens were compelled to take to the work of burying. Every man who came in reach was forced to work at least one hour. Rich men who were. unused to physical exertion labored by the side of workingmen. At the present writing many still re- main unburied and the soldiers are still pressing men into service.

RICNEY WAS WISE
CHARTER DOES NOT COMPEL HIM
 TO REMOVE DEAD ANIMALS.
Therefore He Refused to Sign the Contract-A Member of the Board Says There Will Be No Trouble
 Over New Arranuamant
Over New Arrangement.

It has come to light that H. M. Rigney knew where he was at when he refused to sign the garbage con- tract as long as the clause was left in compelling him to remove dead animals without compensation. Upon investigation it may be seen that the call for bids and the city charter dis agree. It says in the city charter that all persons must dispose of their own dead animals, while Nthe article calling for bids and stating the du- ties of the collector said that it was up to the contractor to remove dead animals without extra compensation. The garbage collector, according to the charter, has only to remove free of charge those animals found on the highways. Thus it may be seen why Commissioner Fitzpatrick at the meeting of the board of health on Wednesday moved that contract be drawn up in accordance with the city charter. +~a..a
 A member of the board of health was interviewed to-day on the mat ter of giving out contract calling IOT tue cApcHuilure OI So,VuU WllH- out receiving bids for the same, which is contrary to the city charter. He said that the members of the board of health think that they had full power to act as they did He says that by employing Rigney on a monthly basis they get around the charter and they fear no trouble in regard to that matter. The health board expects to see all these matters settled as soon as City Attorney Kel- logg returns.
 P. H. Carroll in an interview to- day asserted that unless his money is paid him at the next meeting he will sue the city and also demand inter- est for the time that his money has been held up. ..'
