Besides being injured in the face and across the eye, the president at that time received a blow upon the inner part of the left, leg between the ankle and Knee, but, true to his characteristics, he paid no attention to it, deeming a slight bruise not worth talking about.

THE OLD MARKET" QUESTION It Will Probably be Finally Settled— Alderman Newman Wants More Augusta Gravel for Streets. City council will meet tonight in regular semi-monthly session aui? the meeting is expected to lie a very interesting one. as two matters of great importance to our citizens will come up for final action. Probably the most important busi ness to lie handled is Thai of con verting the old market building into headquarters for the tire department. This matter lias now been before the council for some time, but no defi nite action nas been taken, owing to the committee asking lor more time in which to investigate the plans, etc., but tonight, it is generally thought, the matter will be finally disposed of, and i( is truly hoped by every Bruns wiekian that, council will decide to make the change. The plans for the building have been submitted by Messrs, Bowen and Thomas, the well known contractors, who were asked to make a bid a. submit plans for the building. As this halfcompleted building now stands it is only an eye-sore to the city, is of no good whatever and only stands there in a dilapidated condi tion, while if Ihe change is made, it will lie converted into qtie ofx the handsomest lire lieadifuarteps in the state and will Mid greatly to the-, ap pearance of me vicinity in widen if is situated, and at the same lime afford our lire department, gnou quarters, which are lunch needed. The News feels certain that the members of the council win do every thing possible to have the work done according to the plans submitted, and we believe that the contract will 1 finally let at the meeting tonight. Another important question which is scheduled to come up for action is that of better streets for the city. Alderman ixewman, who is chairman of the committee on streets, drains and bridges, is using his every effort to give the city good streets. At present Augusta graved is being laid on Newcastle, between F and Glou cester, and tonight. Chairman New man will ask council to purchase enough of the grave! to complete the work as far down as Hanover park, which will make Newcastle a beautiful street. Several other matters of minor im portance will come up, and altogether, the meeting will lie a very interesting and important one.

Will EEEECI ELECTIONS Said That if no Settlement is Reached by November the Strike Will be of Advantage to the Demo crats. Washington. September 24.—While the causes which precipitated the an thracite coal strike in Pennsylvania had no relation whatever to politics, it is recognized nevertheless that the results may affect the November elec tions. Anthracite coal is not pro dded by the Diiigley hill, neither lias there been any legislation of congress in relation to it, but the party in power is usually held responsible, whether it has anything to do with the questions at issue or not, in wide spread labor disturbances, and predic tion is freely made that tne miners’ strike win cut down the republican vote, it will lie remembered that the Homestead strike in 11102, immediate-, ly preceding the presidential election, had much to do with the success of the democratic ticket and there should he no surprise if the present troubles should cause more than one doubtful district to elect, a democratic representative. Unless there is some compromise between the miners and operators be fore the end of tiio numl.n, \v ashlng ttm will experience Uur gKeatAst eiiSTl famine that the'*city has Jjver known. Anthracite coal was selling today at sl3 to sir, a ton and not more than a tail was delivered to nhy one pur chaser by dealers fmfnnatp enough to have a supply. In many instances only half a ton was delivered at the same rates. Wood, which might take llk- place of coal, had an upward jump this morning. The price asked for prepared pine Wood this morning was $8 per cord, a dollar above the price ask -d yesterday. Oak made a jump l of $1.50 a cord, and the, price asked j now is $!). Hickory Drought $l.O a I cord, a dollar higher than yesterday, and there was a stiff demand. A pro portionate advance was also noted in loifL wood. Nearly all the wood that is used in Washington, comes from Virginia, and is transported by water. The trade in oil stoves and gas stoves is greater than ever. People are not buying new coal ranges to any great extent, because u is next to impossible to secure coal to burn in them. The local oil dealers report a great increase In sales o. oil for fuel purposes. The sales of the Stand ard Oil company have increased about 5 per cent, during the last four months, and the company comfidently looks for a much larger increase when the cold weather comes on. At the office of the Standard Oil company, from twenty-five to fifty telephone calls are received every day asking for information regarding stoves and appliances of all kinds in which oil may be used as fuel. The Washington Gas company offi cials report that the coal famine 'has ndt affected the amount of gas used yet to any perceptible extent. Wnat effect it will have when the colder weather begins they do not care to prognosticate. A number of different brands of oil stoves arc on the market. Several species of hydrocarbon burners have become very popular. While the varie ties differ in some respets, they are mostly built, on the same general prin ciples. One kind which seems to be having a great sale in town is a sim ple iron apparatus but little more than two feet long, which may be set in the fire place of any stove or range. From a small oil lank, fastened on the wall, kerosene is fed through a tube into the burner on the inside of the stove. Bargain Sales Continue. The bargain sale of Mr.?. M. Isaac continues and. is a source of inter est to tho buying public. Mrs, Isaac really has some genuine bargains this week and those who contemplate making purchases in her lino will do well to call at her popular place.
