Deacon Mandeville’s Jealousy Leads Him Into His Own Trap. —_— — — A Pretty Young Step- Mother and a Dudish Son Cause the Trouble — Paterson's „African Shore“ Enjoying a Good Joke on Its Leading Colored Citizen. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Paterson, N. J., December 26.—“ African Shore” is the Little Africa“ of Paterson, N. J, Within its hallowed precincts reside William Man- deville, one of the sunburned pillars of the local ** Eel-pot,” and his young, crushed strawberry-hued bride. Mr. Mandeville ts pretty well along in years. being sixty summers and winters old. For many years he has heen the trusted and tried coachman of Mr. G. D. Voorhees, and during the whole time has never been.known to have even winked at the cook, or been suspected of paying kissy-kissy with the colored chamber lady on the back stairs. Some time ago, Deacon Mandeville's age belpmate passed’ to the land where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest, and the deacon’s friends at once noticed that he became a changed man. Instead of travel :ng about the city with one trousers leg in his boot, and only one gallus on, he BEGAN TO “SCRUMP UP,” as he termed it. One of the female worshipers at the Eel- pot“ was awaiting maid ip a well-to-do family in the suburbs. She wa sa perfect “bronze,” and had weil nigb broken all the hearts of the young men in town. lt was finally whispered about that the dark hued beauty was after the deacon. Be this as it may. Deacon Mandeville and the young Dinah were soon made one. The affair was one of Paterson's social events. considered from an “African shore“ stamipoint, and only the envious refused to be present and participate in the kick-up in honor of the event. The. two took up their residence in the highest toned ‘house of Paterson's Thompson street, and everything progressed swimmingly. Soon, bowever, a dark cloud appeared above the horizon of the Mandeville household This cloud soon materialized into a form of about the size of Abraham, the IC year- oid son of the deacon. Abraham wassomething of 4 GAUDY DUDE in · his way, and as his new stepmother was of about his own age, he threw up his occupation of smoking glasses for semi-centennial evlipses, and spent most of his time around the parental premises. The deacon became jealous, as the neighbors began to talk of Abraham's attentions to his pap’s second venture, and he openly hinted that if Abraham wusn't mo’ snckemspeck in his der- iimmernations, daid be a haper's corpses fur der Crowner fur ter squat on, an' you heern hs his humbul shout.“ The green-eyed monster became more and more cantan«erous, until night before last the de couldn't stand it any longer, and he determined to set a trap for the alleged guilty pair, and “get de dead fall on em. shuah. For that pur- pose he ignifled b s intention of going to New York, to buy some Christmas presents, and After vidding his wife good afternoon and informing her that he wouldn't return for a couple of days, he started off. As soon as se had closed the door, the deacon slyly skinned around to the bed-room window—the bouse being built after the style of a French flat, with pariors, laundry, culinary depart- ment, boudoir. chicken-coops, dining-rooms and cellar all en suite—and, notwithstanding a multi- tude of gouty twitches and cricks in his back, climbed through. He then obtained 4 DOUBLE-BARRELED SHOT-GUN, loaded to the scuttle witb tenpenny nails, and thus armed engconced himself under the bed. As night drew on the deacen thought he would put ina few hours’ sleep while awaiting the awful denouement, and heturned over and was soon engaged in a catch-as-catch-can bout with Morpheus. At about 9 o'clock Mrs. Mandeville repaired tothe boudoir, leaving Abraham, who had dropped in to have a friendly chat. baking his back at the stove. As Mrs. Mandeville opened the door she heard a sound as if somebody was sawing wood under the bed. Then she dropped the candelebra and rushed into Abraham's presence, shrieking: “THERES A MAN UNDER THE BED.” and then fell as near him as his feet would permit in a deau faint. Abraham grabbed the famil> horse- pistol, burried to the boudoir and then rushed in. “If you doan’t come frum under dah, Ill make a post office of ye'r. i' he yelled as he held a candle aloft with one hand and made a sweeping move- ment under the bed with the horse-pistol which had a flue like a stovepipe. The weapon was at full cock, and if it had gone off it would have biown Deacon Mandeville and the rest of the bedroom furniture clean across the county line. “Hole on dah, Abraham! hole on dah; doan’ yer know yer pah? [‘se only playin’ April fule joke on yer. Abraham, take away dat ar’ watchmain. It may go off and make an orfun of yer faddah,” came from under the bed, and soon after the deacon followed looking as sheepish as a slaughter-house. All “African Sbore,” and Paterson generally is now laughing at the deacon, and he vows “dat der nex’ time be sats a fox trap nell teck werry good cyar he ain't der fox wat's cotch, an' deres his little piece wat's spoke.” HOPELESSLY INVOLVED, Brooks & Dickson, the Dramatic Man- agerial Firm, Fail.

By Telecranh to the Post-Dispatch. Ga.ensBure. Pa., December 26.—Within a month just passed two noted pioneers of the “oil country™ of Pennsylvania have died, and the history of their “wild cat“ expioits will form an interesting chapter in the long and varied story of oildem. On Novem- ver 19, George H. Bissell died in New York. He was a member of the first petroleum company in this country, which was known as the Peunsy!vania Rock Oil Company. It was organized in, New Haven. Conn., in 1824. In 1843, witb a partner, he leased 112 acres on Oil Creek, abqut two miles be low Titusville. On this land the company dug for oi! unti the panic of 1857 came on, when they were compelled to give up. in 1855, Mr. Bi-seli ad vo- cated the idea that an artesian wel) would certainly find oil, but his plan was not adopted until the en- terprise fell into the of Mr. Townsend, to whom the company owed a large amount of money. Mr. Townsend of New Haven seut Coi. E. S. Drake to Oil Creek. and be at took up Mr. Bissell's plan and urged Mr. Tow to furn.sh the funds to put down a well, and on August 29, 1859, he was rewarded by “striking oil" and setting in motion the great industry which has made and broken more men than any other in the same len th of time H. Bissell originated the first thought of an anaiyzation of oil. „The second pioneer was Abraham James, the spiritualist, who died in Oregon a short time ago. r. James was A PECULIAR CRARACTER. In the summer of 1868 he took some moneyed men who believed in spiritualism into his confiience, and told the followiny story: He said that a spirit Mad conveyed to him the’ il of the location of an immense deposit of oil, he had been stopped on the road by the spirit, which took him froin vis wagon and conducted . by magic, across fleids ville. yawned before them. | and they journeyed in cavern a lo unti they came to a lake of petroleum. the depth of which he did not} know, nor the extent of only to Sehoid it fora few minutes, when the spirit fet him to the surface, when he saw the mouth of the cavern close and the He said the wonderful deposit him at the ones who were Pit it. and he ur ed find ol.

A TERRIBLE FATE The Crew ofa French Brig Frozen to Death —Oniv One Survivor. By Telegraph to the Fost-Dispatch, Hatirax, December 26.—The Dominion Govern- ment Steamer Landsdowne returned from Sable Isiand last night. She was out in the great gales of Friday and Saturday. Captain Guildford brings in- telligence ofthe wreck of the brig A. S. H. of St. Malo, France, Captain Le Marchand. owned by Omegers & Co. of St. Pierre, Martinique, and bound from that place to Boston with fish. The gales of the 17th, 18th and 19th inst. drove the sbip near Sabie Island. The west end light house of the island was hghted at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Friday, the 19th. A heavy snow storm prevailed, and the wind was blowing a hurricane. A few minutes after land was made out the vessel was driven on a sand bar with great violence, and immediately began to break up. She had a crew of seven men. The thermometer indicated 12° below zero. and the suf- ferings of the men had been terrible. Three of the crew were washed over when the ship struck, and, alijougn there was plenty of floating debris. they MADE NO EFFORTS TO SAVE THEMSELVES and were drowned. The steward preferriig death to any further misery ran to his berth, grabbed a razor and cut a terrible gash in his throat, reaching from ear to ear. jumped into the surf and disap- red. His y was found in the sand the next ay by coast guardmen. Capt. Le Marchand, bis first mate and asailor managed to get on a sand bank by a floating spar. but only escaped the ter- rors of the deep to encounter the more frigh'ful terrors of the frost king. They could faintly dis- cern the glimmer of a light houxe three miles across the sand-bar and set out in the darkness to reach it. The sand was being driven with blinding force hy the gales, and the grains dashed against the faces of the exhausted men ftike hail-stones. Finally the Captain succumbed, laid down, and, de- spite the efforts of his equally exhausted comrades to rally him, in a few minutes was FROZEN TO DEATH. The chief officer and sailor then on, but within haif an hour the sailor. too, lay on the sands a frozen corpse. Tha chief offloer, a power- fuliy buiit man, then pushed on alone to the light house, the only survivor.

A Massacre Imminent at Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, To-Day. — — — The Orangemen Determined to Parade intense Excitement Prevailing—Catholics and Protestacts Armed to the Teeth—A British Man-of-War to Assist the Mounted Police. * Harsor Grace, Nrio., December 84 reign of terror prevaiis in this place. To-day is the anni- versary of the massacre of Orangemen, on St. Stephen's day.a year ago The Orangemen will walk 900 strong. in defiance of Newfoundland's mounted police and the British man-of-war sailors, and, as every adult Catholic and Protestant in the district is fully armed, a repetition of ast year's Massacre appedrs inevitable There are 1,500 people in the district, a large majority of whom are Protestants. The Catholics live in settlements by themseives. The greatest harmony and good will existed between Catholics and Protestants bere up to eighteen months ago. There was no happier or more prosperous community in the world About that time Bishop McDonald invited Catholic missionaries to bold revivag services here. In arousing the zea! of their own people, they also raised THE IRE OF THE PROTESTANTS, religion they denounced in most insulting language. Both the Catholics and Protestants are verv ignorant, and. of course. intensely bigoted. The Protestants began petty annoyances to individual Catholics One Catholic was set upon and beaten while return- iug from a revival meeting, This greatly enraged the Catholics The Orangemen being away to the Labrador fisheries last year cn St. Stephen's day. they had only 300 members in the Harbor Grace District. While marching in procession they were met at the ex reme end of the town by a body of 200 Catholics from River Head, a place three miles distant. armed with clubs and sealing guns. These men, who are engaged in seal fish- ing, all own guns twice the length of the ordinary rifle. aod carrying a murderous charge of shot, pieces of iron, iead, etc. The Catholics insisted that the Orangemen should turn hack, Ther refused A shot rang out from the Catnolic party, and a boy named Jeans fell dead on his face. covered with sixty wounds from a gun charged with pieces of iron, etc. The Orangemen being unarmed turned tail and ran. In tue melee aud confus on THREE OTHER ORANGEMEN WERE KILLED and fifteen badly wounded. One Catholic was also killed All except Jeans and Braye were shot in the back while running away. The Catholic is said to have been shot by his own son, who, in shooting at the Orange rabbie, killed his father. who was stand- ing just in fr nt of him. But the saddest case of all was that of Braye. an old man of seventy. who ran to pick up tne Orange flag when Jeans fell. He was immed aiely set upon by several Catholics and his head and brains were beaten toa jelly. The whole affair was over within two minutes. The next day twenty Catholics were 2 for mur- trial A whose der on fle separate ‘indiétments. removed to St. Johns for Catnolic Jury was imoansled. and after a trial. lasting several weeks, the prisoners were acquitted. This annoyed the better class of Catholics equally with the Protestants Sir Ambrose Shea, the lead- ing Catholic on the island, denounced it as an out- rage and pa!pable miscarriage of justice. It aroused a terribie feeling among Protestants all over the colony, and the Orange Society in Harbor Grace trebled its membership. A bitter feeling ensued. Six stalwart sons of Murdock Braye MET AT HIS GRAVE and swore thatif they dd not get justice they would have vengeance The Orangecry was ra sed all over the island with the motto, “Justice, if pos- sible. vengeance at any rate. In Harbor Grace both sides are armed to the teeth Every able bodied man im this disirict is armed with a revoiver repeating rifle or sealing gun. Explosive bullets were openly imported. and both sides are preparing for St. Stephens’ Day (to-day). This, then, is the position of affairs. Meanwhile business bas been demoralized, and people have been living on the edge of a volcano, the only efficient law here being the power of the strongest. In this dilemma the Government besought the Imperial authorities to send a map of-war, which is now here, and will assis! the Government mounted police in attempt- ing to prevent to day what now appears to be an in- evituble massacre. SOME LIVELY SLUGGING. One of the Fiercest Glove Fights Ever Seen in Philadelphia Prom the Philadéip)ia Times. a Jimmy Ryan of 815 Vine street and Patsy Leon- ard of Richmond were matched a month ago to fight for money. At the time the forfeit money was posted Ryan wanted to zo right off and fight that day. Leonard refused, and angry words followe4. Shortly afrerward the fight was declared off be- cause Johnny Clark, Rvan's backer, refused to have anything further todo with it, Between Ryan and Leonard pugilistic jealousy has existed for some time, finaliy developed into il) feeling. Not long ago the two again signed articles to fight the day after Christmas. Afterwards they agreed to havea preliminary fight with soft gloves at the International Comique, op Sansom street. This took place last night at 11 o'clock. Ryan was seconded by Andy Hanley and an old man with a white beard, named Duffy. was Leonard's second. After Frank Gormley and and Johnny Magee had declined toactas referee, Arthur Chambers accompanied by Jimmy Mitchell, entered the theater and accepted the invitation to preside. Ed Cole was timekeeper. Nearly ali the loca) boxers ard sporting men in town were in the audience and Richmond was well represented. THE MEN WELL MATCHED. Before the fight began there was no favorite, Both men were known to be clever boxers and weil matched in weight and height. The excitement was very great when Arthur Chambers caled the men out, and the friend of both cheered themse ves almost hoarse before a blow wasexchanged. Ryan's flesh was pink. and be looked the heaviest man. Leonard's skin was white, and be stood a couple of tuches taller than Ryan. : f 112707 5 * 75 225 F i 1823 Roo 8 1 . i.

He acted suspiciously and replied evasively to the policeman's questions. “| aM 4 TRAMP,” said he, und I want to get along the road, that’s all.“ He went with Wallinson quietly enough, and at the station house admitted that he was Sisco. Money was found stuff ed in all his pockets amount - ing to $148 65, neariy the wh®le of the sum he stole after murdering Mr. Gurnee. The revolver waa found in his shoe It is a small, five-harreled weapon, with a back handle, and called “The Defender.“ A aumber of letters in his poexets com- pleted the identification When the pisto! was found stuck ip oae shoe he looked down and confessed his guilt, but in such a manner as to give the im- pression that the confession was a studied effort to justify his crime, although be admitted having gone to the scene armed with a slung-shot and a pistol He said he knew that Mr. Gurnee was in the store on Monday night, and grent there to buy to- bacco and shoes.

The following dispatch was received to-day from Chieago with reference to parties well known in this city: By Tegan to the Post-Dispatch. . CM, December 26,—For several days the police a ve been looking for Mr. Salone Pitzer, a son of Mr. George C. Pitzer of No. 310 N. Eleventh. He is nominally wanted on a charge of gtealing an overcoat from a gentleman boarding at No 291 West Lake street. but in reality for running away with Miss Frankie O' Bannon of St. Louis. The couple disappeared from their tive homes in St. Louis about December 6. Young Pitzer arrived in this city on the followi and was joined here da a few days later by Miss O'Bannon. The coupie was traced to a house questionab'e repute on Fourth venue by Detect- were not known at this where proprietress described the girl as exceedihgly handsome, about 17 years of age, of medium height, round face and light hair. Tne girl did not appear to be of age, For reasons of her own the woman refused to ete amy the couple to remain in the ouse. T were next traced to Mrs. Travis’ house on West from that Two letters of the buarders, whose overcoat disappeared at the time that Pitzer and the girl left the house. His arrest is sought by telegraphic request of Mrs O Banden, the mother of the girl. Pitzer will be arrested on a charge of larceny and held until the girl is taken and returned to her mother. DR. PITZER WON'T TALE. Dr. Geo. C. Pitzer is the secretary and treasurer of the American Medica! College,3[0 N. Eleventh street, lives at 1110 Chambers street. A Poésr-DispatcH re- rter called at his residence to-dayjabout noon. The or was out but while the reporter was warmiug his toes at the register he came in and invited his visitor to the back office. The reporter placed the above dispatch in Dr. Pitzers hand with the re- mark: I come fo see you about this.“ The Doctor read it and re-read it very carefully, as if he were spelling out each word and was deliber- ating on the meaning of each paragraph. After he had finished his study be said. Well. it's funny they can’t find Salone Pitzer.“ and he shrew his head back and gave utterance to «a metaliic “ha, ha, ba,” which sounded very forced and hollow.“ “What do you know about it, Doctor!“ asked the reporter. ‘I—what do I know about it? Nothing, sir, noth- ing. I don’t know anything about it?” Do you know Mrs. O'Bannon?” “Oh, I know Mr. O'Bannon.” “Is t any truth in the charge that your son ran away with her daughter? what are the facts!“ at have nothing to say on the subject, notning at 37 “Is there ony truth in the charge? “I have nothing to do with it. Those who have made it must proveit. Let ‘em prove it, that’s l 7 Is Salone Pitzer in Chicago!“ “Yes; that is I don't snow. I understood so. He said he was in business there. but he has been in Milwaukee, in Chicago and other places. I should think the detectives could find him if they wanted him, but as I said I have nothing to say about the matter. I un- derstand what this interviewing business is and I will say noting, No more could be extracted from the Doctor, and he even said that he was not sire that he knew Mrs. O' Bannon, although he did know a Mrs. O'Bannon. MRS. O BANNON, the mother of the girl, was found at her home on Fifteenth, near Walnut street. Though aimost heart-broken by her trouble, she very eurtly refused to 8a anything about thé matter, but she reconsidered her decision and said that she was anxious to have the facts given as long as affair was a pubic matter. She was brief given the out ine of the telegrams and statements made. and on hear- ing this expressed her gladness to have an opp rT tunity to deny the false account of the affair. It is not true that my dauchter was taken to any house of questionable repute. She left here togoon a visit to my mother’s and went on to Chicago. Was that by arrangement?” “I should first exvlain to you that my daughter was married over a year ago. She and her husband went to Chicago, and while there boarded at Mra Travis’, with whom lam acquainted. My daugh- ter’s marriage proved unhappy and she returned to my house. I have a letter from Mrs. Travis which wil show thatthe statements made are untrue. My “anghter went direct from the depot to Mrs. Tr-vis’ house on the day of her arrivai in Chicago, and that night she slept with Mra. Travis herseif. This young man did not call at Mrs. Travis’ house until three days after my daughter arrived there. and he did not pay her bili, as the letter I received from Mrs. Travis inclosed a bill for board amounting to 818. Do you know where your daughter is now?" “In Chicago.” “Do you know where—” No, I do not.” Mrs. O'Bannon was much affected by the unfort- unate affair, which presented so many features that were inexplicabie to a mother. the father of tne young man who has brouglit trouble into two homes, was her family phvsician, ani had been for several years. Miss O'Bannon formed young Pitzer's acquaintance last July, but not, however, through his parents, Since the girl left Mrs. Fravis' house in company with Pitzers' nothing has been heard from her, The girl is only 17 years of age. having been married when she was 15 years of age. Pitzer is only 19 years oid. FRIGIDITY FADING FAST, Very Good Prospects of Warmer Weather for To- Morrow. The flying of the cold wave flag is not a signal of more cold bu of the inability to work the ropes away up at the top of the Court House flagstaff.

Coons came to St. Louis from Chicago about two years ago, and has been in the employ of Mr. Moser, first as night clerk, from which position he was promoted to cashier, He was a handsome, stylishly dressed man, but was considered honest and strict in his business relations.

Said a gentleman prominently connected with the Gould system in St: Louis. “I don’ think that you will find anybody in St. Louis who knows * about this rumor, which, by the way, has had very general circulation. I know that neither Mr. Hayes nor Mr. Hoxie know anything about it. None of us here believe that the story is true.

It is a stated that a close examination of the condition of the company is now being made by agents of Mr. Gouii’s, who have for soine time past been in Chattanooga and at other points on the line. WORK FOR THE NEEDY. $50,000 to be Spent in Street Cleaning and Sanitary Work. At 3 o’clock to-day, pursuant to in vitation issued by Joseph Specht, chairman, and Jacob Furth, sec- retary, of the meeting of citizens neld at Barnum's Hotel on Monday last to examine into the necessity of raising a fund for the double purpose of provid- ing work for the needy and cleaning the city, a number of gentiemén came together at the Mercantile Club. The purpose of to-day's meeting was to hear the report of the committee, consisting of Messrs. Specht,Rainwater, Sampson. McOullagh and Thompson, of their inter- view with Mayor Ewing and the Street Commis- sioner and Health Commissioner, a detailed ac- count of which interview appeared in the Posr- DispatcH on Wednesday last. The committee re- ported that after a conference with the municipal authorities they were _ satis- fied that a fund of 5 could be advantageously employed in cleaning the streets and bringing the city into good sanitary condition, and that in their belief this money la be so expended as fo reiſeve the distress of the Wor- thy poor by furnishing work to those in need of it. The committee earnestly recommended that the fund of $50.000 be raised, and that such organiza- tion be 2 that a large sum could, if necessary, be collected. Criminal Chips.

Rumor Couples the Names of Miss Van Vechtin and Cleveland, — — A Gold-Headed Cane the Basis of the Ru- mor—Other Ladies Receive Similar Gifts— The President-Elect’s New and Seciaded Residence~Cleveland Anxious to Meet Prominent Democrats. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. ALBANY, N. .. December 25.—As the name of President Arthur, rightly or wrongly, has been fre- quently coupled with that of Miss Frelinghuysen, so is the name of Governor Cleveland now being coupled with that of Miss Annie Van Vechten. The rumor was circulated to- day that the beautiful Albanian has recently received from the Président-elect a gold headed cane, bearing this inscription United we stand, divided we fall.” Whether the words have any sig- nicance, or are merely Pickwickian in their import time alone can show. Perhaps in the words of Mr. Toots, when his inamorata declined to marry him “It’s of no consequence,” although wiseacres shake their heads over the matter, and say that “coming events cast their shadows before.“ It is conceded by all the members of the rumor committee, that there can be no question asto his giving the gold- headed stick, while clearing out a large stock of them previous to going into another busi- ness. Several other ladies appear also to have had canes presented to them. The following seems to be the history, as far as can be definitely ascer- tained, of the presentation of the stick to Miss Van Vechten. One afternoon Miss Van Vechten, Mrs. John O. L. Pruya, awidow, daughter of Amasa J. Parker, and sister of Mra. Erastus Corning, and several other ladies were at the Executive Mansion. Miss Van Vetchter said: Governor. what are you going to do with those canes? You might give them to your lady friends for umbrella bandles. “Oertainly,” said the Governor, with ready good nature. “Help yourselves, ladies.” The ladies took instant advantage of the permission, and soon the entire collection, numbering nearly fifty, had changed hands, Miss Van Vechten appropriating the one bearing the very significant inscription above quoted. Miss Van Vechten, it may be remembered, attended the performance in aid of the dramatic fund in this city, in company with the Governor and a large party of ladies. THE GOVERNOR'S TEMPORARY RESIDENCE. The house which*Governor Cleveland has rented in this city, to be occupied by him during the interval between his resigning the Governor- ship and his inauguration as President, is remote from the hotels and the Capitol, and away from the streets most frequented in winter. More accessible and quite as comfortable houses could have been had, and for this rea- son it is assumed that the choice of a temporary residence was determined by a de- sire to be as much out of reach as possible, ina town of this size A near adviser of Cleveland is authority fer stay ing that there have been no positive proffers nor acceptance of Cabinet positions, nor is there likely to be any till after the Governor lays down his present trust. The same authority says that the statesmen like Bayard who have come here to see Cleveland have done so on indirect invitation from the latter, whose sole object in causi..g the in- vitations to be extended has been to enable him to become personally acquainted with these gentlemen, and to learn more than he otherwise could about the duties he is about to assume. “I know,” said this gentleman, “that Governor Cleveland would be pleased to meet and talk leisurely with as many prominent men as possible who are to be in sympathy with tne new administra- | tion at it s outset. He has _§ felt circumscribed in two ways since his election. One is the necessity that is on him to complete pending State business before he shall resign, and the other is the publicity that is given by the newspapers to every visit he receives from men of a national reputation. The interpretations that are made of these visits have been for the most part absurd, but that is something that must be expected where there are so many newspaper reporters. I am aware of the fact that the Governor feels the need of extending his acquaintance, between this and his inauguration, among menewho must necessarily have more or less to do with rendering his administration successful. He is an apt learner, andlam gratified at the progress he has made was elected. It would be more | than agreeable to him if some of his most earnest supporters among the Independents will come to Al- bany and visit him at ter he shall have resigned. I should be surprised if he should not conclude it ad- visabie to spend a couple of weeks or so in New York, during the prelude to his inauguration, for the very purpose of being more accessible to men with whom he would like to exchange views.” ® CAUCUS CALLED, The Two Factions of the Exchange Ar ranging for Battle. Notice was given this morning on Change that the regular caucus for the nomination of a ticket would be held on Change at 8 o'clock this afternoon. Less interest is shown, however, in this caucus than in any for many years. It will, of course, be well attended, and some excuse will be found to kick up a great row. The only. candidate thus far heard of for the regular nomination for president is Mr. H. C. Haarstick, who will almost certainly be the nomi- nee. The candidates 2 the two vice- aspirations.

A Girl Brutally Beaten and Robbed on Eighteenth and Biddle Streets. On Christmas Eve about 11 p. m. a young lady on her way home from work—it being the night before Christmas work was continued to a later hour than usual—was stopped near Eighteenth and Biddle by three men. who demanded her pocket-boox. The girl refused to compiy'with their request, where- upon the brutes threw her tothe ground.

FINE HAIBED. Some of the Holiday Presents Lucky Ones Could Make. It was not everybody who could go out this Christ- maéas-tide and invest in pianos, diamond brooches, carriages and trotters for their friends. The popu- lar fancy took the direction of more humble, more useful and less ornamental remembrances, while to many the holidays were “scaly” and all the gloomier by contrast and an absence of the usual festivities and domestic bright ness. | however, who right on wheat and Wabash and had the Metropoli- tans and Providence, the following lines will be ap- prop . Afew days ago, a Post-DispaTou re- Jewel was standing at the corner of azwell- known welry firm, when he was sed to hear a burst canary-like melody from throat of a tropi- eally, gorgeously umed bird in a gilded cage, and for ten minutes it twisted its tail, shooks its pluim- and for dear life.

A unique and very general present was the award of handsome gar—— well, those appendages with which ladies — one ot the — — their social economy. Many of these are absolutely gorgeous, and the buckies are set in rubies, emeraids, saphires and diamonds, and of course can be pur- chased at any price, according to taste and pocket. The season is prolific in new games and some of these are unique. Mother Hub an her faimily, e. fascinator—a marble game—and many others ean be mentioned. Mechanical toys are wonderfully ingenious and have been before alluded to; the talking dolis, the smoking negro, the pedestrian men and women. The custom of men wearing bracelets recently inaugura in England will give ladies a 1 to act upon, Particularly where their friends are effeiuinite, dudish or intellectually weak. A nice bracelet, with bangles, can be sesured for the trifling cost of $15, and from that upwards. Scarf-pins with mov- ing 2 ‘tongues and lips. worked by batteries car- ried in the pocket, are frequent. and can be pur- reasonab y. There are many ous and pretty designs in this line. In music boxes tuere are some of the prettiest ever seen or listened to. These have new attach- Cost ments, and i the expensive ones have harp and zither stops, which make beautiful music and correct imitations of those inducements. They reached as high as $500 in price, and the recent operas Nell Gwynne.“ Princess Ida.“ lolanthe, The Grand Mogul.” Harrigan and Hart med.eys, Straus waltzes and the old standard operas furnished the selections. If the young lady was not old enough to appre- ciate a seal skin sacque ora pair of jeweled ear- rings, there was a grand variety in the doli line.

It was handed the reporter by a well-known local dealer: An incident is related showing that the road of the modeler is not aiways of easy travel. One day a celebrated modeler discovered a cniid witu a coun- temance more beautiful than any he had ever be- heid. Hespoke kindiy to ic, and loaded it with sweetmeat and caresses. Then, in a moment of temptation which he could not resist, he bore it away to his studio, where he delineated every feature of its face, and saw so many suggestions for other exquisite models by means of slight modi- fications that he secretly keptit.

Auw the change of fashions we note with pleasure that the prevalent fashion in St. Louis is to give something to the poor. ANOTHER State has been heard from. Con- necticut will consider itself recognized if Barnum is taken into the Cabinet. Mr. Ba RNJUM'S application has been filed. — eee Tue next improvement in street cars will be a safe in which passengers will be required to deposit their valuables before starting, as a pre- caution against robbery. The company will not be responsible for the loss of valuables not deposited in the safe. THERE is a law in St. Louis against carrying deadly weapons, but it applies only to the bet- ter classes. The criminal classes, highwaymen, street-car robbers, and the like, habitually carry weapons, and not one in a hundred of them is ever punished. THE so-called Marquis DE -~LEUVILLE made one of the mistakes of a lifetime when he brought suit against the New York Wor.Lp for $25,000 damages. He will not get five cents’ worth of damages, and in the meanwhile the WORLD is getting a great deal of fun out of the Marquis ox LEUVILLE. TREATY COMMISSIONER FosTER rushes to the rescue of the Spanish treaty with the alluring statement that the Havana cigar, which is now sold two for a quarter, will hereafter be obtain- able at the modest price of three for a quarter, and he requests the American workingman to put that in his pipe and smoke it. —— Tus is the feast of St. STEPHEN, the first martyr of Christianity, and our pugnacious neighbors of Havre-de Grace, Newfoundland, are disposed to celebrate it by adding a large list of names to the martyrology. The United States is the only country in which all races and creeds manage to live and flourish in peace and friendliness. ALL day yesterday the detectives of the Po- lice Department were busily engaged in scour- ing the registers of the leading hotels of the city in search of traces of the Cass gvenue street car robbers. Ata late hour last night it was reported that thegtraces were with the rest of the harness in the stables, but the robbers had not been found. — —— — THERE are reasons for believing that the weather observers at Washington are too busy | breaking into each other’s desks to pay atten- tion to the weather indications.

The trouble of a THE credit and good name of the whole police foros of St. Louis are involved in the discovery | of the hoodlum highwaymen of Cass avenue. If a street car can be stopped before midnight by a band of these marauders within the built- up portion of the city, without the robbers being discovered and punished, our police force is not what its members fondly imagine that it is, Ir the detectives are at fault in locating the supposed Cass avenue hoodiums who raided the horse-car on Wednesday night it might be worth their while toinquire into the where- abouts of the directors of the company. There is a general complaint that the horse-car com- panies are not making enough money out of the passengers, and this may have been an at- tempt of the directors to increase the receipts. —_—— — Ox of the best things in the recently pub- lished volume of Concord Essays on Emerson is an anecdote of WaSHINGTON, told by Rev.

The formation of large companies in Ger- many for trade with Africa, and for the prose- cution of various colonial enterprises, indicates that German unity is about to bring forth some fruit more substantial than military glory and political influence in merely European affairs. BiIs4aRCK’s prominence in the Congo Conference, and his efforts to acquire territory in the large islands of the Pacificand Indian Oceans, imply the recognition of the fact that some thing must be done in that direction to prove the utility of the German Empire to the German States. While they were disunited their commerce remained cabin d, cri confined,” and lit- tle Holland, England, Spain and France divided the Western World among themselves with all the commercial advantages of thriving col- onies and broad areas of productive land in every clime. For nearly fifteen years German unity under the Empire has secured the in- ternal peace and safety of Germany and made her influence preponderant in Europe, but has compelled her to pay dearly for the glory of it all. And still there is no Ger- man colony to receive the redundant in- crease of the overcrowed and overtaxed millions of the Fatherland., The mest vigor- ous and best educated people in Europe are the worst paid toilers in the civilized world. No triumph of arms or of diplomacy in a European Congress can better their condition at home or mitigate the necessity which compels multitudes of them to seek new homes and better chances for their posterity in America and other lands over which float foreign flags. An emigration large enough to build up a new German Empire in two or three generations is bound to goon for the benefit of other nationalities. This is not pleasing to the race pride and ambition of the Germans, and they are already asking what the Empire is there for if it can- not provide colonies in which a fruitful people can find room for natural expansion where they can still contribute to the power and prosperity of Germany. The wonderful success of En- gland and Holland as colonizers favors the idea that their German kindred would be equally successful if unce fairly started in the business by their home government, and if the Empire cannot do that much for them they may soon begin to undervalue its greatness. A COOL PROPOSITION. President ADAMS’ last report of the Union Pacific’s affairs shows that it earned $619,617 in the year ending last June, from its invest- ments outside of its original-line; that between January 1 and November 30, of this year, it received $8,504,657 from land sales; that in the four months ending October 30 it earned outside of these resources an amount equal to nearly 3% per cent of its enormously and illegally watered stock; and that in the same three months it had paid off $1,800,000 of its floating debt. It has incurred liabilities and issued stock in violation of law. After fighting the execution of the laws through the courts, it has disregarded their decisions and con- tinued to violate the laws, and now, with an accumulated sinking fund of several millions to pay off its land grant mort- gages, and with a business report showing its entire ability to raise the means to meet its ob- ligations to the Government, it is asking Con- gress for a sixty-year extension of its loan and for a new set of statutes in its favor, to be liti- gated and violated by its managers. Itis able to borrow the money to carry out its contract with the Government, but has found the latter such an indulgent and easily swindled creditor that it actually proposes to borrow another hundred millions on sixty years’ time, and at a merely nominal interest, to pay off the amount which is to fall due some eight or ten years hence. The only ground on which this favor is asked is that it is necessary to enable the mana- gers to pay to themselves and to “innocent pur- chasers” forbidden dividends on illegally issued stocks. In orther words Congress is asked to assist in the violation of its own enactments by authorizing another Government loan to the company for that express purpose, If this favor is granted to the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, which is in the same boat, will be entitled to Similar indulgence, but there Sam in any event. The managers have built with its earnings the Southern Pacific) on which there is no Government lien, and to that. they are diverting all that is at once valuable and divertible appertaining to the Central Pacific. California papers say that the initials of the Southern Pacific are being rapidly painted on nearly all the rolling stock that hitherto bore the initials of the Central Pacific. — ¼-— NOT WHOLLY RUINED. The Boston Herald of last Sunday published a statement of the municipal tax levy, from which it appears that Boston is not whglly ruined. The total value of taxable property in that solid city amounts to just $682,648,000 this year, against 6682, 300, 500 last year. There has been a shrinkage of $9,596,500 in the assessed value of personal property, but this is more than offset by a gain of $9,811,800 on real estate, It is worthy of note that the assessors estimate that they do not succeed in finding more than 80 per cent of the personal property. As the persona] property, even after the last year’s shrinkage, is assessed at $194,517,300, this wonld make the total personal wealth of Boston ndt less than $600,000,000. This, with 6488, 130,000 uf real estate, woyld run the total wealth of Boston up to $1,100,000,000, or about double the total assessed value of the whole State of Missouri. magnitude, fail to represent the accumulations of the thrifty sons of the Puritans. Boston ‘has not invested much money in St, Louis, but Boston owns many of the big manufacturing ‘corporations of New England. It owns blocks of the finest property in Chicago and other cities, it owns cattle on Western ranches, mines of gold and silver and coal and iron, and its investments are generally among the best. Yet Boston is truthfully considered as one of the’ heaviest sufferers by the recent shrinkage in values. Boston capitalists were large owners of Union Pacific at the highest prices. It was Boston capital whic h built the Mexican Central and which owns the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road. The great manufacturing es- tablishments, which are numbered by the hundreds and which represent a cash invest- ment of from a quarter of a million to a million dollars each, are now practically worthless, and it is conceded that the rich men of Boston are poorer than they have been in many years. With all their losses, it seems that they have enough left to tide over a few months of hard times, This statement of Boston’s wealth is full of instruction and of consolation. It shows us that, with a shrinkage in a great many depart- ments of business, the real wealth of the country is left practically untouched, and that all the sources of future prosperity are practi- cally unimpaired. Thereis too much talk of hard times and too little thought of the real situation. We cannot expect to have an un- checked course of prosperity. That does not happen to any country. Excessive speculation and overdoing of business must be followed by a reaction, and in prosperous times we must learn the lesson of being prepared to meet with losses. But the country is rich, its resources are exhaustless, its energy undiminished; and the situation in Boston is merely an extreme illustration of the solidity of that real wealth which is, after all, the permanent condition of such a country as ours. Coolies and Commercial Treaties. From the New York Times. The so-called reciprocal treaty with the Hawaiian islands. a renewal of which the Senate is now asked to ratify, has had on the islands a marked effect upon labor and immigration. While an at- tempt bas been made by national legislation to ex- clude the Chinese from Califoruia and the Pacific slope, a commercial agreement which it was be- lieved would reduce the cost of sugar to consumers in the Pacific States and territories, has drawn thousands of Chinese to the Hawaiian kingdom, so that the Californian is served by the Chineseat a safe distance. There were, a year and a half ago, 16,000 Chinese on the islands, many of them bring coolie laborers imported by the successful specu- lators who have so greatly increased the quantity of sugar produced there, and made great fortunes out of the treaty. At that time these immigrants were depriving natives of means of support, and our minister endeavored to induce the Hawaiian Government to bar out thousands who were pre- paring to sail from Hong Kong. At last accounts the Government had decided to admit only 2,400 a year. It is predicted that reciprocity with Mexico will, by stimulating the production of sugar, draw thousands of Chinese coolies into that coun- try. It is said that contracts for the importation of these coolies were made some time ago, and that prominent politicians of this country are interested in the estates where they are to beemployed. The effect of commercial treaties upon labor abroad will no doubt be taken into account by those who are to vote for or against them. American and European Wages. From the Boston Herald. The State Department has collected another mass of data on the wage question, this last, as former compilations, serving to show that the rate of wages in this country is very much higher than in any country in Europe. Itisinteresting to notice that, in the telegraphic summary of this report. the com- parison is confined almost exclusively to what are strictly unprotected industries. The Chicago masons, plasterers, bricklayers, plumbers, slaters, carpenters, teamsters and so on. who are paid trom two to four times as much in wages as those receive in Europe who are engaged in similar occupations, have to endure atthe present time just as much competition as they would if we were living under a system of complete free trade. That is to say, they are employed in work that has to be done on the spot, and their rivals are not those. who are at work in Europe, but those who come as immigrants to this country. The comparison between wages in protected industries. such asiron, woolen and cotton manufacturing,is not given in the telegraphic summary of this report: but we venture nothing in saying that it will be found that the advantage that American workingmen possess in these forms of labor is very much less proportionately than that possessed by workingmen in those industries which are not in the least benolden to the protection sys- tem. In other words, while wages are relatively low in protected industries, they are relatively bigh in unprotected industries. Wnaron Barker to Tell a Story. From the Lancaster Intelligencer. It is rumored that the Philadelphia Chronic'!e- Herald has at length concluded upon a pian to make a journalistic sensation and attract to itself the attention which has thus far failed it. Wharton Barker, its owner, proposes to write up what he knows of the inside of the Garfield administration, and of the scheme which was on foot to get u a difficulty between this country and England over Canada, resulting in war, conquest and anneration. The Dommion was to have passed tariff laws dis- criminating against the mother country and in favor of the United States. England's refusal to ratify these or to permit them was to have been the pre- text for international difficulties. And then Barker will relate the negotiations at Chicago which failed to nominate Harrison, and which were modified to permit Blaine's nomination; and how much money was raised and sent to Maine and what part of it was returned. The Chronicle-Heraid may yet be a paper. 5? A Poor Rule. From the Detroit Free Press. When Mrs. J.C. Ayer and her daughter returned from Europe, a short time since, ther brought with them $35,000 worth of dresses.fans,knick-knacks and articles of what Mrs. Partington called “bigotry and virtue.” Under the rule in the Astor case the Col- lector admitted the whole free as “wearing apparel owned by the passengers, in à condition to be worn at once without change, and suitable for the season of the year immediately approaching, and not ex- ceeding in quality or value what the passengers were in the habit of wearing or keeping on hand for immediate wants.” . On the same steamer was a lady whose wara- robe amounted to only $1,000 in value, and was, like that of the Ayer ladies, in a Condition to be worn at once without change, and not intended for sale. The Collector decided, however, arbitrarily, that it was beyond the means of the passenger and not in accord with her habits in life; and she was com- pelled to pay the duties. Can it be Bernhardt? “From the Faris Gauwlois hee pres Sessa de rate to be tried. We will content ourselves for to-day with briefly alluding to the fact, taking great care to place a mask on the feature of those who will play h role in it. The af- fair is a very recent one. The facts are these: On the one side one of the greatest artists whose fama is wide-spread. On the other, two men, friends. One of the two is on terms of fellowship with the distinguished artist; the other does not her, but, ambitious and eager, he asks his to se- cure him an introduction. In exchange for this service he promises to pay the handsome sum of 50,000 francs. The bargain settled and the introduc- tion made, the star seeker becomes one of the artist's most assiduous visitors, but forgcts all about the 50,000 francs. His friend demands the money, threatens, and. in fine, begins suit for the amount. That is the present situation of affairs. The trial promises to be a very piquant one. The New English Pastime. From the London World. The new war-game “Polemos,” first-publicly played in London on Saturday afternoon, favorably impressed the onlookers, althoug& some of the con- ditions‘of the afternoon were against it. It seems to require a familiarity with military operations and terms not possessed by the general, but this is claimed, not without some show of reason, as an advantage for the game from an educational point of view. The mimic battle-field cao be spread on a billiard or dining table, and the tin soldiers so famil- iar to children are made mightily attractive to “grown-ups” by a code of rules based upon the strategy and movements of an army ma general engagement. It would be easy, I imagine, to get up considerable excitement over the contest, which may be waged by two or four persons. A Good Example for Illinois. From the Fhiladely hia Times. Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour, who has made a careful study of canals, announces his opposition to the bill just introduced into Congress by Repre- sentative Hiscock by which the National Govern- 4 ment shall take charge of the Erie Canal and keep it in repair as a link in the waterway between the East and the West, While this opposition was to have been expected from a man of Mr. Seymour's temperament and knowledge of the subject, its expression is most timely. There was an evident hope among the pro- moters of the ridiculous Hennepin Canal scheme that they might secure help from the Eastern States in return for votes favorin3 the acceptance of the Erie Canal. The quick comprehension of the aims of these patriots will tend to disconcert them and prevent the success of their methods. Her Style of Man. From the St. Paul Day. Hattie C. Cummings of Dixie, W. T., has ad- dressed the following to the Waitsburg Times: “I want a man of the following description: Red hair, blue eyes; one that has pride enough to dress good, but not above his means. He must be tall, or short, thick or heavy-set man; small feet: one that doesn't wear fine shirts much. He must be good-featured, of light complexion, and one whois not afraid to cut too much wood for the cook. I don't want one that will goto sleep while at work. I want one that likes to hoe potatoes, work in the garden and won't play base-ball. If there is any one of this de- scription please answer through the Waitsburg Times. No dainty store clerks need apply.” A Medium in an Awkward Fix. From the Indionapolis Sentinel. John Strafige bas created considerable excitement by an alleged exposure of one of Mrs. Walling's (formerly Miss Annie Stewart) spiritual seances at Terre Haute. He seized the spirit’s hand and held it notwithstanding the emphatic Let go!“ uttered by the spirit. Some one in attempting to turn out the gas, turned it the wrong way, and exposed Mrs. Walling to plain view as the spirit, ber clothing be- ing placed on a chair,to imitate what was supposed to be her sitting there. The seance terminated somewhat abruptly. * WOMEN OF THE WORLD. — — Ful base ball playing opens a new field for Wouen.

That is a point, the only point, in favor of bobtails. On the other side of the account is: (1) Bobtails are ed by recent serious runaway acci- cars. (4) Bobtails are troublesome for getting on and off. (5) Bobtails are a nuisance as regards fare-paying. (6) Bob- tails render it impossible for driver conductor to comply with the city ordinance about calling out the names of streets. (7) Bob-tails are a nuisance in other ways “too numerous to mention” bere. I want to reassure “Anti-Humbug™ that the ¥ Patel is quite willing his “manliness” should be measured by the swindliugs“ of twenty cents (now grown to thirty-five) from the boh-tail lines’ negligence.

That is an “appeal” The dwellers along the bobtail lines, in the words of Patrick Henry, “have appealed, have re- monstrated, have supplicated, have prostrated themselves at the foot of the throne.” Their rep- resentations have been met with an imperious “No.” The appeal to reason fai ing, they are now making an appeal to the pocket; and there are evidences that a tender spot has been touched.

Washington Cor. of the New York Worid. The Senate, year by year, seems to grow further and further away from the people.

There must be a reason for the Senate's lack o sampathy with the people they represent. 55 the principal reasons lies in the fact that a major, ty of the Senators have traasferred their hom. here and are really strangers in their own Stare They mix so little with their own people that are unacquainted with their wishes. Entrench« behind a six-years’ term, they appear to care itte about what their people may desire of them. corporation influence is very strong in the Senate. Most of the Senators are rich men, the owners if stock in great railroad enterprises, and their sym. pathies naturally run with what tends to keep ug the value of their property. The rich men of the Senate are men whose for. tunes range from a quarter of a million of dollar Those below a quarter of a million are simply classed as men who are well to Ido not think that there area dozen men in the Senate who are obliged to depend upon their salaries fora living.

New York, December 26.—The Herald this morn- ing prints a letter from Fall River, Mass., showing the real condition of the mulls in that city and the outlook for the owners and operatives. The real condition of trade here is not such as to warrant any one believing the sensational reports Articles are frequently written solely in the interest of the mill owners, and operatives as well, and thus great injustice is done both classes. The Herald's representative, who has carefully and impartiaffz looked the field over, conversed with mill offidiais, business men and opeaatives, has reached the fol- lowing conclusion in reference to the situation: Forty-odd mills are running, affording employment to all operatives. at wages paid since the strike a No strikes are contemplated and no fur- ther reduction suggested. an intelligent class, and can see from the market re ports that print cloths are being manufactured at an actual loss of 3-16 cents per yard tothe mill- owners.

At present money and clothing and provisions are being distributed by three or four different agencies, each acting independently of the other. It is a plain business proposition that this cannot be productive of the best or most econom- ica! results, and that, where so many are dispensing, the chances of neglecting worthy cases are far greater than they would be under a single and well organized system. The people have proven that they have the disposition to help liberally if somebody will provide a channel, Bll of the agencies to be effective must be concen- trated under one. management—the smaller the better—and the mefchants, the police; the press, all should work as part of a single plan, with a single distributing point.

Story of the Robbery by One of the Victims—The Affair Conducted by Amateurs in the Business—Allega- tipns That the Police Might Have In- terfered but Didn't—Cowardly Con- duct of the Driver - What Interested Parties Say of the Affair. Ive lived in this city thirty years and I’ve trav- eled over its whole extent, but, drunk or sober, I never was molested until last Wednesday evening,” said Mr. W. Stead, to a Post-Dispatcs reporter who called upon him at his place of business, No. 707 O' Fallon street. Mr. Stead is the gentleman who was robbed by the masked highwaymen in the Cass avenue car Wednesday night, and it was evi- dent, as he narrated his experiences on that trying occasion, that his indignation over the event was even less emphatic than his astonishment at being attacked after such a Jong season of immunity. I came down on the cars on Wednesday night in preference to walking,“ he said, because I decided that it was safer to do so. I made a mistake, The reporter assented and asked is a stout, well-proportioned man of about 50, to tell the story of his robbery by the Cass avenue car rob- bers. He sa: The car had got just about as far as the Visitation Convent on the way east when I heard a shot fired. Almost immediately afterwards the car stopped snddenly and three masked men leaped upon the platforms, two of them in the rear one, close by which I was sitting, and the third one in the front one. They all had pistols which they swung around at the occupants of the car, at the same time shouthing, We want your money.” There were seven people in the car and five of them made a break for the doors and succeeded in get- ting past the robbers. I madea dash myseif, but had just reached the platform stood there grabbed seat, at the same time shoving their revolvers into my face and calling upon me to give up my money. I made no resistance, and they tore open my Over- coat and snatched my watch chain. There was a weak spot in it where it had been broken, and it parted there; but, while one of them secured the watch and half the chain, the other COOLLY GATHERED IN he other half which had been broken off. I denied having any money, at the same time trying to slip into a back pocket some silver I had taken from my hand pants pocket. They detected the movement, however, and secured the which is a very deep ong; I had $9 in bills which they failed to secure, although they searched it three times. I was sitting down and they thought they had reached the bottom of the pocket when they got to the bend in the cloth. After rummag- ing through the balance of my clothes they secured a $2 bill, making about $4in cash andthe watch and chain which they deprived me of. The watch was an old-style English lever goid double hunting : and the chain was of solid gold and cost me “Would you identify the robbersif you saw “I hardly think I would, as they were masked and wore slouched hats, so tbat their features, with the exception of their eyes, were entirely concealed.” “What prospect is there of your regaining your “Very little, Iam afraid. I have talked with Cap- tain Heubler, and he does not hold out much hope. It seems strange to me that such a robbery could occur in the heart of a big city. that persons saw policemen within a couple of blocks of the place where the robbery occurred at the time the shooting, which preceded make a charge to this effect, an investigation would be quite interesting.” a partner of Morrison Renshaw, was the other gentleman who got left in the car after its other five occupants had succeeded in making their way past the hig.waymen. He said: “When I heard the shot fired I bad no idea that anything extraor- dinary was about to happen, as I knew it was Christmas Eve and supposed that one of the lively residents of the neighborhood was celebrating. When the car was suddenly stopped, however, and three masked men situation at a glance. So did the conductor, who, at the moment the robbers appeared, was on the point of taking a half dollar from my extended hand. We turned and made for the rear platform where he was at once attacked by the robbers who threw him upon the street. They immediately returned tothe car and pointed revolvers at us. There were seven of us in all. Myself and a middle-aged, stout gentleman who wore gold spectacles occupied seats next to the rear platform. The other occupants of the car con- sisted of three young men, evidently mechanics, and a man and a woman, evidently his wife. These were allowed to pass masked men, who evidently did not think The three robbers then covered us with their pistols, The stout gentleman sitting opposite me was terribly frightened, and them worth stopping. on the rear platform pointed their weapons at his head and told him togive up his money he began unbuttoning his clothes as fast as he could. He also ran his hand into his pant's pocket and pulled outa handful of silver, which he handed one of them. The other one then took hold of his watch- chain, twirled it around his finger a couple of times and jerked the watch out and shoved it into his pocket. the man and told him that they | money and that he had better give up. They then searched him thorough- ly and secured a roll of bills. While they were thus engaged I could not help observing that they were amateurs at the business. They were somewhat drunk, terribly excited and seemed almost as fright- ened as the men they were robbing. If I had hada revolver I could have shot both of them with ease, as they kept their backs turned to me almost all the ime they were in the car. Their revolvers were of the kind found in pawsbrokers’ shops—imitation British bull-dogs, the cheapest and most unceftain weapons of the kind that is made. After therobbery was over the conductor was found lying on the ground and, as his hand was bloody, he had evi- dently had a tussel with the robbers. I heard that he said when the robbers tackled him that he didn't have any money on him, and that they were only wasting time. It possibly may have been their in- tention to rob the conductor, and that, finding THAT JOB PROMISED POORLY, they turned upon the passengers. I escaped with no loss whatever. I had only half a dollar with me at the time, and this the robbers did not touch, evi- had got through robbing the other men, that it would not do to risk staying any longer. When they started away it was discovered that the dfiver was missing, and, after waiting a few moments for him, the conductor took his place. We had gone a couple of blocks when the people who had escaped from the car got on again. I wanted to have a little talk with the man that got robbed, but the three young menalready mentioned talked tohim so persistently thatI did not geta chance.” CAPT. HEUBLER of the Third District said: The thing was done by hoodlums who were green to the business. They were drunk, and conducted the job in a which showed that the robbery was not the result of an organized attempt. If any of the persons on the cars had giyen one of the robbers a blow in the face, the affair would have been ended right there.” “Do you think you will get the robbers?” It is hard to tell. We are hunting for them, but have found no clew as yet. One or two arrests have been made, but no identification has fol- lowed.“ Such things have happened before on this line, haven't they?” “Not within my knowledge. I consider that it was one of those things that might happen at any time, and cannot be prevented.” MR. GIBSON, the superintendent of the Cass Avenue Car Line, said: We bave not heard anything further con- erning the robbery. It is the first affair of the kind that ever happened on our line, and such is not likely to occur again.“ “Your bob-tail car drivers have been robbed sev- eral times?” “No, sir; such a thing never happened. This is the first time that any one, employe or passenger, was robbed on one of our cars.“ Who do you think did it?" 7 “Young hoodlums living in the neighborhood. They have a club at which they gather, and I be- lieve that it was some of its members who perpe- trated the robbery. They are being watched by the police, and we may hear of the right parties being run in before long. What became of the driver?” “He ran away as fast as he could, directly the first shot was fired. He's one of the kind of men whose hearts are as bold as lions’, but who have cowardly legs which carry them away from danger. The police are not to blame for this affair. They are too thinly scattered about the district to be of much service.” I should think that you would take warning from the event and arm your conductors and drivers?” “We have done nothing in this direction. The men themselves have probably taken this precau- tion. NOT SHIPPING PAUPERS. Taunton Asylum Officials Deny the Stories Reported From Chicago.

In 18251 was pro- moted to Captain in the First Infantry and sent to Nashville, Tenn., to recruit for my regiment. While there I met Gens. Jackson and Coffee very often and obtained from the former many details of the battle of Chalmette that are not in print. There was a very heavy fog on the river on the morning of the fight,’ General Jack- . 3 the 2 wees wee actually | formed and movi ore my arrange- ; ments made. Bue the instant r aw their | formation, I said to Coffee, “By ——, they are ours?” Coffee’s part of our line was on the flank, which extended into the swamp. About a quarter of a mile from it there was a huge peared : 8 drainage canal, such as are common n the Louisiana lowlands. Here General Packenham formed his first attacking column. His formation was a column in mass of about fifty files front. This was formed under the fire of the few regular artillerists I had in a little redoubt of Coffee’s front, and that of some cannon taken from a man-of-war, placed in a battery on the river and served by sailors. | Coffee, seeing the direction of ‘the attac e Carlo, | Which was intended to turn his flank, dash forward and said to his men: Hold your fire until you can see their belt-buckles. The rifle- men were formed in two ranks behind the works mentioned, and when the first rank fired the second was loaded and ready. There were about eighteen hundred men behind this frail it of whom were dead shots, and each ze British troops came to | See. They marched as steadily shoulder to shoulder as though they were on re- view. At 100 yards’ distance the order was iven them to charge. With a cheer and at ness, double quick they came forward. They were and his missus are the nicest people you can about sixty yards distant when a long blazing flash ran all along our line. It was as pretty volley firing as lever heard or saw. The smoke hung so heavy that for the mo- ment i could not make out just what bad happened,’ saidGen. Jackson, ‘In an- other instant there was another sharp ring- ing volley that proved it came from the rifle- men. I called Tom Overton and Duncan, of my staff. and we galloped over to Coffee's line. Just then the smoke rose, andI saw that the head of the British coluum had literally melted away. In front of our lines ley one writhing, ghastly mass of dead and dying red- coats. The column recoiled and fell back to the canal, where they had started from, and were there reformed. This time the charge was led by Gen. Packenham in person, gallantly mounted and riding as coolly and gracefully as if he were on parade. Just as he came within range of my riflemen I saw him reel and topple out of his saddle mortally wounded. I have always believed that he fell by the bullet of a free man of color in the fight who was a celebrated rifle shot from the Attakapas country of Louis- jana.’ Who's Billy Simpson?

At last a gentle- man in the corner rose to his feet and called out: Here's to Billy Simpson.” The last man to rise was seated next to the subject of the toast. „Here's to Billy Simpson!” he yelled, and then looking round with the blandest interest he asked: Who in thunder’s Bill Simpson?” HOLIDAY AND FASHION NOTES.
