4 a CHANCE THAT HE MAY MOYE TO HAVE rJ DIB INDICTMENT QUASHED. 'AuLtant District-Attorney Nlcoll Think that the Drib Clivers May Find Ibe De cision of the Oonrt of Appeal an Induce ment to Take Bueh a Htep Jacob rjbarp'a Terr Rapid Improvement. A contributor to the Tribune this morning suggests that the Sharp case can be reopened and reargued in tbo Court of Appeals, bo cause the Constitutional question was ignored in the decision regarding the admissibility of the testimony taken bcforo the Senate Committee. Tho same paper editorially calls upon tho District-Attorney to move to roopon tho case. Assistant District-Attorney Do Lancoy Hicoll, when shown tho article, said t X "I know nothing about tho other cases of Tweod and Lambert, re ferred to in the articlo nor about tho cironmstances undor which Judge Buger Granted tho stay of proceedings which he had a perfect right to grant, and for which, in my opinion, ho was unjustly criti cised. Moreover, I deprecato all attaoks upon the learning and Integrity of the court of last retort in this State. Such attaoks breed a lack of confidence in its decisions which is productive always of bad results to tho com munity. "The suggestion contained in tho editorial that the District-Attorney should&noke a mo tion for a re-argument, with a viow to having the Court correct a supposed error in the decision, resulting from alleged over sight, is an impossible one. Motions for re. argument are made only for the purposo of securing a reversal of tho provious decision of the Court. If such a motion wero made for he pur- Soso of correcting some of tho expressions in ie opinion of tho Court, the Court would very properly say that it was not sitting as a moot court for the futilo purposo of hearing legal discussions. Whilo it is truo that tho argument based upon the constitutional provision was con tained in ray briof and adoptod by Chief Jus- tioo Van Brunt at the General Term, and not referrod to directly in the opinion of the Court of Appoals, that was probably because tho Court did not attach sufficient weight to discuss it, Such is very often the fate of arguments upon which lawyers confidently rely. It will be time enough to diBouss whether tho Tribune's conclusions ore tho logical re sult of the decision of the Court of Appeals when tho nuostion is raisod by some bribe giver who has testified before some locislo tho committee to the giving of a bribe which has beon accepted. aj I may have to take part in such an argn ment, and in the mean timo I do not care to discuss it Mr. Hicoll said that either Sharp, Kich. mond or Kerr may make a motion to have the indictments against them quashed on this decision of tho Court of Appeals, when the Question will be directly raised if tholrienti ying before the Senate Committee is a bar to their criminal prosecution for bribe giving. Jacob Bharp is rapidly mending, and in a few days ho will be as well as he has been at any time these three years. Mrs. Bharp is now quite reoovored from the collapse re- f suiting from the excitement and anxiety of the past few months of her sore trial, and is agafn cheerful and almost happy. The couple spent yesterday quietly at their borne in west Twenty-third street, seeing no visitors, but content with eaeh other. Mr. Bharp site up each day now. He will proba bly be able to rido out the latter part of this week. Ho plans for the winter have as yet been mode. LOST TO TAMMANT. BIT. Beekman or C. V. MaeLean Likely to be tho Next Corporation Connie). 'Who will bo tho new Corporation Counsel is the question now agitating tho minds of local Democratic statesmen. Corporation Counsel Morgan J. O'Brien' goes on the Supreme Court benoh on Jon. 1, and Mayor Hewitt will probably appoint a legal advisor to the city a week before Mr. i O'Brien surrenders his present office. There Is a general belief that Honry R. Beekman, President of the Board of Alder men, will be Mr. O'Brien's successor. Mr. Beekman is a candidate for the position, and it is thought that he has the inside track. Mr.Oharles F. MaeLeon, nephew of Samnel J; Tilden, is also a candidate, and has a pow erful influence behind him. He and Mr. Beekman are warm personal t friends and the rivalry for the important office does not interfere with their friend, ship. As the case now stands, Mr. Beekman is looked upon as the winner, but Mr. Mao Leon has the reputation: of being a shrewd wire-puller at the very last moment. If Mr. McLean should decide not only to ask, but to demand the appctattnont, it would place Mayor He Witt in a rather embarrassing position. The candidaoy of Mr. MoLean has already set the County Democraoy leaders a-think. ing. Ex-Mayor Cooper and Police Justice Power are under more obligation to Mr. Mao. Lean than thoy are to Mr. Beekman. There is one thing certain, Tammany Hall has lost the Corporation Counsel's office. Clam Dads In Die Demand.

Ameri can Fenians then undertook the task, arriv ing on tho Continent for that purpose a fortnight ago. These, In eoncert with a low Irish Fenians, made an arrangement by which rails on tho road between Kingstown and Dublin were to be removed In order to wreok the train carrying Lord Ilarttngton and Mr. Gosohen tut week, and In the excitement shots were to be Ored into the carriage occupied by the English visitor. The scheme was abandoned when It became known that Lord nsrtington and Mr. Qosohen travelled by different trains, and that the former drovo atralgbt to the residence of Mr. Powers, in Leopards town, thus missing Dublin. It was next arranged to attack Mr, Powers's carriage In a lonely lane and murder Lord Darlington, or carry him Into tho Wlcklow Mountains, where he was to be held as a hostage tor the release of William O'Brien and other political prison. Everything had been matured, but tho plot miscarried, owing to the watchfulness of the police. A BLEEP-WALKER AMONG THE TOMBS.

WruxtBABME, Pa., Dec t Mrs. Rebecca El dredge, a widow, residing on North Main street, has for a long time been addicted to sleep-walking, and to guard against accidents her daughter slept with her. Last Monday the daughter went to visit friends In Caibondale, and on Thursday morning about 8 o'clock one of her boarders, Hugh A. Stew art, was astonished on entering the honso to see Mrs. Kldredgo descending the stairs In nor night dress. She seemed wide awake. Her eyes were open and she walked with perfect steadiness. She took no notloe of Stewart but was going out of toe house, when he stopped her and asked where she was go ing. She said she was going to church and must hurry or she would be late. She spoke hesitatingly and appeared nervous. Stewart aroused the family and she was put to bed. On awakening sho hod no recollection of tho occurrence. Last Wedneslay morning when Stewart came home he found that shehad climbed through the trap-door ou the root and then Jumped across an Intervening space of four feet to tbo roof of the house adjoining. lie found her there with nothing on but her night dress and the thermometer at 13 below zero. She had two bundles under her arm, and said she was going to the dressmakers. St wart got home about 8.80 A. v. yesterday, and found Mrs. Eldredge had gone out of the house. It was 4. SO before she was found wandering In the neighbor, hood of the Hollenback Cemetery more than a mile from her home. She had nothing on but her nightdress, which was aoaked with water and alio soiled with mud, though the night was flue. It Is believed that she climbed the cemetery fence and had been wandering among the graves. On awakening she said she had dreamed about climb ing a fence. Every precaution will be taken In the future. Vanderbllt' Latest Railway Scheme. lerxcur. to Tim wosuM Indianapolis, Dec. 4. The Vauderbilts nave decided to parallel the Lake Shore and Southern Michigan road across Indiana. Fourteen yean ago a company was organised, known as the Chicago and Canada Southern road, which proposed to build from St. Clair River, the present terminus of the Canada Southern road to Chicago, paralleling the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern. The Vender btlts at onoe killed that enterprise by gathering the Canada Southern road into their system. Before Ibis was done, however, the Chicago and Canada Southern built 70 miles of road west of the river, stopping at Fayette. Mich. This piece of road is little used. It Is now propose! to start from Fajette and utilize the right of war which the Chicago and Canada bouthern secured, a portion of which is already graded, and parallel the Lake Shore main Una from Trenton to Barlajtown, a suburb of Chi. cage, a distance of 190 mile. The VanderbUU will thus prevent any other company taklngnp the right of way of this old company, and tasy win secure a road-bed more direct than the Lake Snore proper, and with lighter grades. The work will be begun In the spring. This will give the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern practically three tracks across Indiana, aamuohof the distance on the main line of the road is now double-tracked. Death of Gen. Zeaas C. Priest.

A Fine Set of Tool Which Dnd Just Den Uacd to lllp a Snfe Open and the riundrr Found In Their Possession Platola Drawn on Doth Side Ono of the Men th Pal of JLcatranae, Who Killed Hilly Wallur. Two policemon of the East Eighty-eighth street station did a olever pleoe of work this morning, capturing two safe burglars, to gothor with a set of burglar's tools and the procoods of a robbery. One of tho men, Robert Johnson, alias 'Bob" Nichols, Is an old and dangerous operator, and has given the police a groat deal of trouble. lie has always covered his tracks so woll that ho has been oonvlcted only twloo for any serious offense, A year ago ho wob concerned in a robbery in Brooklyn, and a fow nights afterwards mot Tom Lestrango, Tommy Walker and Hilly Walker In a saloon in Hester street, near tho liowcry, for the purposo, it is sup. posed, of arranging for a division of the fruits of the robbery ovor tho river. A quarrel ensued, during whioh Lestrango shot Billv Walker. The latter was hurried off to Chambers Street Hospital in a cab and ho died in a fow days. Lestrange ran away to Chicago and Nichols was arrested. Tho two men woro indicted, and Lestrango subsequently entered a plea of euilty of manslaughter and got 11 years in Sing Sing. Nichols is under ball on an indiotment for complicity in tho shooting and the Brooklyn robbery. At 3 o'clock this morning a safe in tho gro cery store of Oeorge F. Helsenbuttol, at 11,203 Second avenue, was ripped to pieces and its contents, including bank checks, $153 in money, promissory notes and other property, in all valued at 1360, were stolen. The thieves, taking advantage of tho Bun day quiet, had broken into tho cellar and from thero gained entrance to tho storo by cutting a hole in the floor. To conceal them while at work they piled a lot of barrels around the safe. By 8 o'clock the safe had been robbed and the burglars, four in num ber, nuiotly sauntered across to and down Third avenue. When thoy reached Ono Hundred and Eighth street Bud Third avenuo Policeman John Cottrell saw them, and knowing thorn to bo "crooks" he followed them. As tho burglars turned into Ono Hundred and Sixth street Cottrell spied Policeman Kane and he ran up shouting Kane, grab those mon: they are thieves." At tho samo time he seized Nichols by tho shoulder. Niohols quiokly thrust his Laud into his hip-pocket, where he had a big English bull-dog revolver, but quick as a flash Cottrell put a pistol at the thiol's bead. Nichols reluctantly yielded, and his pistol fell to the pavement with a sharp clang. Meantime his companions took alarm and started to run, one of them sending a couple of shots at the policemen. Cottrell called to Kane to shoot llobort Clarke, a second ruf fian, unless he stopped at once. Clarke supposed that Cottrell was after him. and he shouted as he oame to a halt i Hold up, Cottrell. Don't shoot and I will surrender." Kane seized him and found in bis right hand a revolver, cocked ready for use. At the police Btation the men wore searched. In the pockets of Nichols's coat were found a sectional jimmy, bits, wedges, safo wrenches and a full set of skeleton keys. Clarke had a stone-mason's hammer and couplings for jimmies. Tho tools were of tho very finest steel and of the latest pattern. On the way to the station-house both men mado on effort to to throw away some papers, which Cottrell secured and which proved to be some of tho stolen ohecks. The prisoners were taken to the Harlem Polioe Court and were remanded. They are now safely Ioked np in the cells in the basement beneath Inspector Bymes's room at Polioe Headquarters. When Cottrell and Kano were making the arrests William O'Mara, ir., a builder who bad beon having a good time, interfered to Srovent a capture. Cottrell put his pistol at I'Mara's head and the man then ran away, but was arrested afterwards. Clarke is better known as Bruno and Wil son. His ptcture adorns the Eogue'u Gal lery, among safo-robbers. m mm i BOUND TO HATE BEER 0B BLOOD. Mayor Roche, of Chlcnaro, Wanted to Bnp preaa the Anarchist tjaenaerlest. larxcui. to tux wobld.

Uovr at French Syndicate llao flIanTd to Manipulate It. LrVMtsA. CalMs IWSww. The corner In tin still holds out, and has every protpeot of continuing for aome time to oorae. As stated a short time ago, it is engineered by a French syndicate and has been materially helped in its operations by tho fact that tho consumption Is already equal to the supply under tbo moat favor able clrcumstancos. Consequently the specula tors had no enormous quantities to buy up before the scarolty could be felt. All that was produced wss needed, and la needed now, and aa they now own all thero is In London, which controls tho tin plate market of the world, all there la In Singa pore, whioh aappllea London with the crude ma terial for Its tin-plate, and all there la en route, they nave the tin markot pretty well under their control. When will the market break la a question nf paramount Interest lust now. Not at pres ent, certainly. It takes furty.dve days to get the crudo material from Bingapuro to En- 81and, and the ayu ilcate owns all there Is In Ingapore at present. That means that this little parcel of Frenchmen will have absolute con trol of the market until nearly the middle of Janu ary In all events, and It Is doubtful If tho break will come before February. Of course they can unload If they ao wish at any time, but they have shown no disposition to do so as yet. Wednesday the price was 81. 88 cents per pound In this country; then It went to nv to saw, and Saturday it went aim higher, reaching K first, and finally touch ing MX. To glie an Idea of wbat tbia means, It Is oniy necessary to say that since 1878, unlll the syn dicate began to get In Us work, -tin naa never gone over W cents per pound, and even at tbe price quoted above all that could be gotten waa taton. ru London, where It ll aold by the ton Instead of by the pound, It waa quoted at .153 per ton "spot," and Ui per ton for three months, seller's option. This does not seem to Indicate tbat the ayndleate Is unloading, and the prospect Is that prloes will still further advance. The result will be a very considerable loss to the packers and cannerawho need the cans to carry on their business. Whether they manufacture them themselves or buy them made tbe result will be very muoh the same. Tho majority of them have contracte on hand, made before this advanco, and they mutt either carry them out at a lots or lose their customers. The latter they will doubtless Dud it hardly policy to do. 'I heir dilemma has been made worse, too, by the faot tbat many of the tin-plate mills In England there are none In this country have shutdown, and there Is really a scarcity of tin-plate, while tbe consumption Is steadily Increasing. According to tne English law, when a mill shuts down It la re lieved from all eontracts It may have on hand, but that, of course, docs not In any way relieve Ameri can manufacturers from the fulnimont of their contracts for canned meats, oysters, Ac. To ful fil these they must havo tho cans, and lo get the cans they mast pay an exorbitant price. Conse quently everything Just now looks prosperous for tno syndicate- and gloomy for all who need tin. There la but little chance of the mtlla starting up Hgaln In the near future on account ot the price naked for the crude material, and consequently the supply of plate tin must continue to grow less. It has bad Its offect otoeadyon New York speculators, and they are very much worried at the prospeot. They have Invested a good deal In tin lately, ex. pectlng a drop, but It did not come, and conse quently Saturday, when the banks began to call In their loans, they found themselves In a pretty tight place. It Is said also that canners, packers and oyster men have fallen into the error of believing that prices were gotog to drop, and on tbat account hare dilayed buying. Yet prices now are higher than ther were a snort time ago, with every pros pect of their going still higher In tbe Immediate future. What will be the result T It Is difficult to -ay. For the present contracts must either be ignored or the plate tin must be bought at its present prloes and the contracts fulfilled at a loss. The great ef fect of the corner, however, will not be felt until next spring. In this country, there being no mills, con tr acta must be made a number ot months In ad vance of expected delivery, and a hesitancy in making contracts now will not be felt In the can mug business until next March or thereabouts. The outlook Is certainly not a pleasant one. The end of the corner will come, donbtleas, from an Increased supply of the crude material from some unexpected quarter or from the starting up of the mill now lying Idle. When the supply of plate tin get extraordinarily low and the price ex traordlnarlly high, there will then be an Incentive to them to start up, andaa soon aa they bring the supply up equal to the demand prices will regain their normal condition In spite ot the syndicate. The end, however, la far off. Having forced the ?rlce ot the crude material up to a point where but ew mills can run at a profit, tbe price of plate tin must reach a point where it can be done before tbe corner can be broken, unless the syndicate of Its own accord quietly stands from nnder. QUEER HIDING PLAOEa The Skeleton of a Man and a Dlrd Found In Tree by Woodcutter. LTrem CSamitn. Journal, Curious finds hare not unfrequently been mad In trees. Borne woodcutters in the forest of Drommllng made a strange discovery. They began to fell a venerable oak, .which they soon found to be quite hollow. Being half decayed, It speedily came to the ground with a crash, disclos ing a skeleton in excellent preservation; even the boots, which came above the knee, were perfect. By It aide were a powder-horn, a porcelain pipe bowl and a silver watch. The teeth were perfect It would seem to bo the skeleton of a man between thirty and forty years of age. It Is coniecturod tbat, while engaged tn hunttng, he climbed the tree for some purpose and slipped Into the hollow trunk from which there was no release, and he Jrobably died of starvation. Another mystery was ound in the heart of an oak. From a tree of tbls kind a large block, about eighteen Inches In dia meter, tbat had been knocking about in the vari ous yarda and wood-abrds, waa split up lately, and In It was found an auger-hole about three-fourths of an Inch In size, containing a bunch of human hair done up In a piece of printed paper. The hair was near the centre of the block and fattened In with a pine pin.'. It waa apparently pat In when the tree was quite small, aa tbo tree had grown over the plug to tbe thickness of about four Inches, with the grain perfectly smooth and straight, A natural curiosity was shown In a timber mer chant's workshop. This was the nest and skeleton ot a bird embedded In a piece of beach. The tim ber seemed quite sound all round the cavity, and there was no sign of any aperture Into it; but the timber being sawed up, the nest with the bird sitting upon It was found. Tbe nest appeared to be built with mod and tbe bird resembled a tit mouse. Fronably at the lopping ot a branch a cavity was fotmed and the outside subsequently Srown over; but how the bird was Inclosed seems imcult to Imagine. In the centre of a log of Honduras mahogany the saw revealed a Urge piece of honeycomb. The nnder eat the wax wltn the cell waa bard and re sembled In color the appearance of a mummy. The remains of tbo bees were Incrustcd In the wax. Another log of maguogany waa being cut Into veneers by a cabinet-maker, when his attention waa attracled by the appearance of a remarkable and atriklng profile of ller Majesty In a knot tn the wood. The fineness was so true that all who taw it acknowledged the resemblance.

So often aave toads been found Inclosed In solid bodies that II I not suprUIng to resd in a Scottish paper that a servant, while broaklag a large piece of coal for the dre, was startled to and In the centre of the block a full grown toad, which appeared to be in excellent health and spirits. A less common discovery was mad In Birkenhead, a gentleman there waa presented with a cow's tongue, which appeared to be perfect In every respect. After tit tomue was boiled h dlioorered a piece of sandstone Imbedded In It about three-qtfartare of ao Inch In length, half an lnoh In width and a quarter of an Inch in thickness.

Tho disparity in size between him and the Anarch chief was ludicrous, besides being very inconvenient to Most. The steps of the Black Maria are high and stoop, aud the doorway is narrow. Thus, when Ofllcor Cassldy drow Brown out by tho hand, Most tumbled involuntarily and Inelegantly after him. There was a wicked gllttor in Most's oyes as he was thrust in tho pen. 111b imprison ment in the Tombs has evidently filled him with a yet doopor hatred for tho capitalistic beast." Tho court-room was crowded long bcforo Judgo Cowing took his soot.

There aro questions in this case which make it of paramount importance, not only to Mr. Most, bnt to tho community, that they should not be passed upon lightly. The principle at stake hero is of for more im portance to tho people of New York than a thousand Mosts, a thousand NIcoIIb or a thousand Howes. I pass my word that in tho meantime we shall not apply for our client's release on bail. I ask," said Mr. Nlcoll, rising as Mr. Howe ceased, if thero is any likelihood that this Court, after the careful considera tion given to this case, will nnder any cir cumstance direct a neV trial It seems to me that this delay is unnecessary." Your Honor. pleaded Mr. Howe, I want to be heard on my exceptions. There is no case I havo ever been in of moro import ance to me than this." "Well, I'll give you a few days," said Judge Cowing, ''but not until Friday. I will give you till Thursday morning at 11 o'olock. That ought to have settled the matter, but Mr. Howe and Mr. Nicoll bad further talk abont the points Mr. Howe expected to make. If any new affidavits were to b made, Mr. Nicoll said ho claimed the right to bo served with copies of thorn in advance, and Judgo Cowing so ordered. But Sir. Howe averted the storm by saying that he did not intond to offer anything new or sensational in Most's favor. He should confine hjmsolfto the argument on the printed rocord.

So does a man whoso pocket is doftly picked lose his money without feeling it but is his loss less real on that account It is both absurd and cruel to say to tho working pooplo of this country that they "do notfeol" tho taxes upon their food, fuol and clothing because thoy pay them to tho Custom-Houso through tho dealer in stead of directly to a tax.gntberor.

It may bo doubted whether Btmxx is so popular an author in this country as sup posed, and his recommendation is of precious littlo valuo anyhow.

Lot tho clergy themselves take charge of this matter, and stop this reokless disre gard of the safoty of their congregations and Sunday-schools. No court is highor than tho people. The suggestion that a dcolsion of the Court of AppealB is not to bo discussed or questioned is properly rebuked in a remarkably able and pungent letter in this morning's Trilntm. The fallibility of this tribunal is very plainly shown. The soldiers who make parades and tho people who love to see them, the people who drive and thoBo who like to see driving, tho promenaders and the onlookers, are united in demanding tho retention of the law that prohibits a railway on Fifth avenue. The old Whig notion that no matter how high a tariff may be piled it must still be worshipped as a fetioh and never bo dis turbed, has naturally made no impression upon the sound Democratlo heads at Washington.

Thero is 'desolation to-day In tho npnrt monts of pretty Nclllo Coo, at 701 Sixth ave nue. Tho dead girl's family mbs notified jestcrday nud this morning two Bisters, neither tnoro than tweuty-four years old, are in charge- of the handsomoly furnished rooms and all that remains of tho trunkf ul of effects. I'rom tho story told by the younger sister the Coo family is of a roving disposition. One brother, Edward, is in business in Bast Orange, and a second brother, John, has been missing for years, aud is thought to be dead. A third sister was buriod only last August in Cincinnati. Tho homo of tho Coes is in Blawonburg, Bomersot County, N. J. Tho father was a well-to-do farmer, but was unablo to keop tho children about tho homestead. After his death, seven years ago, tho rostlossones drifted away. Four yoars ago, Nollio left home. Hlio was a distant girl, her friends said, nnd with all tho love of romance that 1111k a pretty coun. try girl's hoad. Her start in lifo was not ro. mantle. Sho obtained employment from E. B. Sterling at Trenton, and then drifted from pises to placo until she roaohed Now York. That wob over two years ago. Sinco then sho has occupied numerous apartments. She resided, previous to occupying her present homo, at 105 West Fortieth street. In all her wanderings she kopt her luothor and sis tors luformouas to hor whereabouts. Nellie, while always referring in hor letters to her homo hero and her surrounding, seldom mentioned male acquaintances and never wrote about young l'lckel, in whoso arms sho died and who says he was to marry ber noxt week. She referred to tho new business enterprise in which sho had in terested herself stock speculation but from tho tenor of hor stories the enterprise was not remunerative. Tne members of the family are shocked at her sudden and strange death, but attributo it to heart disoaso. which, it is claimod, is hereditary, ono sister having died of that complaint. Thoy cannot explain the evidences or dissipation found in tho trunk, but say that the cigarotto holder which was among tho bundles of letters thero belonged to hor brother-in-law, a Mr. Voorhoos, who livcB in Somerset county. When Nellie left home tho sistor says, sho playfully took the holder from the mantel, and with the ro mark, I'll have this to remember you by," slipped it into her pocket. The letters in tho trunk havo disappeared. Tho body will be taken to Blawenburg this afternoon providing a permit can bo obtained. NEW nOFEJTOR DRIECOLL. Aeanred by Hie Counsel that He Will Prob ably Kacape Hanging. Nows come to Dan DriBcuH in his oell in Murderers' Bow this morning which causod now hope to spring up in his breast, tran qullizid his temper and greatly improved his appetite for breakfast. The news was carried by little Abo Hum mcl, who told the coudomuod man that it was highly probable ho would escape hanging either on Jan. 20 or any other time. Mr. Hummol's ground for this remarkable assur suranco was, ho said, that entirely new evi dence had come to light proving perjury on tho part of several important witmessos against Drlscoll, espooially in regard to the prisoner's possession of a pistol and his threat against McCarthy. Mr. Hummel told his client that within a few days he would apply for a new trial to a Judgo of the Supremo Court. After his counsol left, Drlscoll attacked his breakfast with renewed vigor. Having al. ready put away a full allowonco of cold tongue, be sent for a braco of poached eggs and another cup of coffee. He graciously permitted two Sisters of Mercy to come to hU cell, but told them he did not think thoy need repeat their visits. Both Drlscoll and Lyons seem to havo got over their fit of ugliness and obstinacy, and now givo the warden no trouble ABOUT-TOWN GOSSIP. Augustin Daly never favorB Broadway with his austere presonco. Ho takes his strolls in Sixth avenue. Herbert Kolooy doesn't mind in tho least being called lovoly. He realizes the fact that he cannot be thus designated for more than a few years longer. Mrs. Sophronla Twitohell, tho formidable advocate of woman's rights, prides herself upon being a model housekeeper, and strongly addictod to works of charity. Mike O'Brien, Superintendent of the Southern Express, is the bosom friend of Fred Gould, aud is also a bachelor, a great ladles' man and very fond of dinner giving. Marous Mayor, Henry E. Abbey's manager, is always sprucely bodlamoued. M. Mayor glistens like the leaf after a summer shower, ilnmonds, however, do not impair his en ergy. De Wolf Hopper is ono of tho most dooile comediaus on the stage. He is always ready to take ad ice, and does not "kick" when his "gags" aro occasionally considered un necessary. Corbit Ogden has really as handsome a mustache as there is in the city, but his heart is not eet on that, but rather on his dinuer. He does not euro about a $1 dinner for four, but prefers a $4 dinner for ono. Walter Griffon is quite a swell and wears his hair very utatly ported in tho centro nud irouod, with a little fruigo to trim the fore head. Ho adonis tho Hioksito friends' meet ing on Suuday aud tho Casino of week-day evenings. A conspicuous figure in the restaurant of Dolmonico's or St. James of an evening is Fred Gould, with his tall, fine figuro and black hair aud mustache. He does not like to eat IiIb dinner alono, liko the Pope, but is usually the centro of his own party, which iuoludes ladies, Jacob Von Gorichtcn, detectivo sergeant and chief of Inspector Byrues's Wall stroet bureau, seems to his many friends downtown to bo omnipresent. Nothing goes on that he does not know, and he has the habit of drop, pint; dawn by one's side as if from the Bky. He is genial and popular among the brokers, who nod cheerily to him iu passing. United States Detective John J. Sullhan, who helps Capt. Tom Sampson guard the millions in tho Sub-Treasury, is about as magnificent a specimen of physical manhood as his namesake, the great John L. His oyos are never at rest, and he knows almost every body from New York to the Cape of Good Hope, iu South Africa, where he first saw the light of day. The familiar figure of Inspector Byrnes is seen now within the confines of that portion of the town known as Wall street." Ho strolls along with his hands in his trousers uockots, whioh he only withdraws to give a liearty grip to a passing friend. The In spector avers that he goes downtown simply to keep an eye on his men who are detailed there, out there are those who say that tho shrewd officer keeps a pretty clear eye on the market as well. 1 wi An Aged Woman lleatltute. ratrolman Daniel Sullivan, of tbe Weat Twentieth Street Station, found late laat night, Mrs. Skin nlngton, S3 years old, lying almost stsrved In a back room on the first floor of Hi West Twenty suta street, one was sent to Bellevue Hospital. i'ijtolfKSMiJLii J,Jm ALUERNON B.

It is Mr. Miner's inten tion to personally direct the tour of the dis tinguished lady. j" Barton Key felt hurt, but announced that his contract with Mr. Miner had not ex pired yet, and that as Mrs. Potter wished him to accompany her to Baltimoro he would certainly do so. Few people believed ho was in earnest. But he was. Lato Saturday night Mrs. Potter started for the Maryland city and Mr. Koy accompanied her. Exactly what Mr. Miner will do is not known. He is not fond of being interviewed and he was undeniably out this morning with his business manager, J. Charles Davis. COLD WEATHER COMIKG.

During the first nine months ot 1SS7 their disbursements for death claims amounted to $1,000,000. Yet even with this great outlay there remained a cash surplus of some thing like 11, DUO. ooo. The business of the company, already something enormous, Is Increasing rapidly on account of a peculiarly liberal method of doing business. They 8 lace no restrictions upon travel, change of reef, ence or change of occupation.

When not allowed to reach nim ho shook his clinched fist in Longobardi's direction, uttering i curses in a hissing whisper. Longobardi is an artist of considerable skill. He has spent his timo iu tho Tombs with art materials furnished to him by his counsel, Astarila Mackinloy, the former of whom is of Italian birth. This morning Col. Fellows announced to tho Court that while he was out of town last week Frederic Condor and ex-Judge Russell had called on District-Attorney Martine and said they hod been rotained to defend Lon gobardi that they would require timo for preparation and that Mr. Martine had promised it. As thore was so littlo time left in the year, Col. Fellows asked that tho case go over this term, and that was dono, the caso being ad journed to Jan. 9. Longobardi was returned to his palletto and easel in a Tombs cell by Deputy Sheriffs Burke and Ourron, Policoman Barrett again shaking his fist at his retreating form and. hissing imprecations upon him, while Mary and Annie tugged at his coat and pleaded with tearful eyes for him to bo calm. Longobardi is a handsome young fellow, with large, lustrous black eyes, a bush of black curls and a Grecian face in fact, his is almost ideal Italian head. He claims that on the Sunday at the timo of the shooting ho was set upon by a number of men, and that they robbed nim of his watch and iC3 in money. He was given an art education at Naples. Ho has been but eight months in America, and has no friends hero. His companion on the day of the shooting was Francisco Perca- cianto, and he has disappeared. Longobardi's counsel have been making every effort to find him, for they claim that ho could clear Longobardi of all blame, but ho is in hiding; and cannot bo found. HIS BROTHER SEEKING AID. Young Joseph Diaz a Protege of Ex-0fayor Schroeder. ot Brooklyn. Manuel Diaz, tho elder brother of young Joseph M. Diaz?, who was arrested yesterday in Chicago for embezzling a large sum of f money from his employers, Fernandez is y Saurez, of that city, is a cigar packer in tho factory of Manuel Alvarez, of 213 Pearl t etreet, in this city. The young man is not a .'tj rolativo of the President of Mexico, nor is hla f father a wealthy resident of New York, as tho Chicago newspapers had it. All his family, except his brother, live in Spain, and aro poor. The brother could not be found this morn ing, for, on hearing the nows of Joseph's ar rest he at onco went out to seek assistance for him among his friends. The young man came to this country about six years ago, when ho was about fifteen years old. He was a handsome young fellow aud quick-witted, and he made such an impression on ex-Mayor Frederick A. Schroeder, of Brooklyn, whom he met, that that gentlemon offered to edu cate him, and for several years he paid hist expenses in a collegiate school in Brooklyn. About two years ago young Diaz left school and was employed by the Venezuelan Coffeo Company, at 80 Maiden lone. A year ago he went to Chicago to be a salesman for the tobaoco firm of Fernandez Buarex, His brother Manuel got him the position. HEMMED IN BY FIRB.

The place was occupied by Isaao Diamond as a barber-shop. On tho second floor of tho building a four-story brick one Diamond's r wifo and children were fast asleep. Tho noise of the engines rushing up awoke them. They were horrified to find their way of escapo by tho stairs cut off by the flames.

NE stormy afternoon in autumn Bertha Dale stood watching tho large rain drops as they chased each other down the window panes. A shade of discontent was visible on hor fair, girlish features. Of life's in evitable annoyanoes, Bortha most disliked a dull, rainy day, when sho was forced to bo alone and just now, If the tmth must tS-JIJTS J Do told, sho was at a H J1 17-rsi loss for occupation. Her small, slippered feet tapped tho carpet H impatiently, and her snowy brow was H slightly contracted. Suddenly the expres H eive face brightened a resource had oc Wk curred to her. H Yes," she exclaimed, in soliloquy, H there's no going out to-day. that's certain and I think I can do it at least I'll H try. Harry thinks me such a mere doll I Ho never seems to expect any. thing useful from me. Indeed, he quite "polls me, the dear, foolish fellow I But I'll see if I .can't mend the lining of that over- coat which he tore so badly yesterday and do it quite as woll, too, as poor old Nancy, with her rheumatio fingers. It will be such fun to hear him thank her when be finds it ready to put on and then his look of surprise on hearing his good-for-nothing little Berty did it. I will set about It at once 1" And the young matron, now quite restored to her wonted cheerfulness, tripped off to her bus. baud's wardrobe, singing some lines of an old ditty as she went. BerthaDale was n hrido of some two months' standing. She had lost both her parents at JH,car.1lrnff! but. by the provisions of her father's will, she had been consigned to the cuardlan car. of ouMtimable widow lady, art': .Aw.su&iat,..aAvaisy.wi AKTIBTS IN PLUMAGE.

Why, by holding them over the steam," and the pretty feather.workor laugh ed heartily at the quos. tion asked by a Would feather-workers' trade is not so simple after all, for time must bo givon before ono is expert enough to handle the delicato feathery articles. From lower Broadway away up to Seven teenth street may be found hundreds of stores whero handsomo, glossy feathers are exposed for salo. In them aro employed twenty times tho number of pretty girls, whoso oocupation, from 7 or 8 o'clook in tho morning till long past 5 in tho evening, is to smooth and curl and steam tho rufiled wings of tho foathored tribe, brought from all parts of the world, and in all shades, sizes and conditions. The primary object in steaming feathers is to limber tho quills and lay tho rufiled, tiny feathers that aro the components of not only tho completed bounetl but of tho price itself. And. Indeed, tho husband who would bo so cruel as to refuse his wife such a love of a thing as is mado out of thoso varicolorod articles doesn't deserve to havo a wife Steaming feathers scorns simple enough. Just hpld them over the steam." But the novico would get his fingers burned and burned again In the attompt, and then well, then, tho feather would bo worth throwing away. Tho old-fashioned way of doing tho work, which is still in voguo In the smaller stores, is to fill an ordinary tin kettle, hav ing on extra long and straight uozzlo, with water, and thon boat it. When the boiling point is reached and tho steam issues forth the work of tho pretty steamer begins. Tho feather is held in the steam, and with tho disengaged hand the girl smooths the ob stinate particles until they shine, as brightly as the eye of the worker. This is all the work thoro is to it. Still, it is a long, todious occupation, which strains the mind as woll as the hands. But if Shakespeare's right, thot laughter lightens labor," thon, in deed, theirs is the lightest labor in the world, for, from morning until night, about the little tables whero the fair fingers twine in and out amidst tho gold and yellow, the scarlot, blue and black, there is nothing but laughter. In addition to being steamed tho feathers are dyed, curlod and finally prepared for the millinor, after being glued to the regulation wire pin, much after the fashion of the flower from the florist. Dyeing a feather is like dyeing anything olso, save perhaps that it costs more, because there is so littlo of it. The curling is dono over a hot fire, deft fingers again playing a prominent part in shaping the twists and turns till they repre sent, so husbands will claim, about 85 a twist. Then the wing feathers aro attached to the wire pins or handles by means of paste and a heavy, thiok strip of cloth, and then tho goods are ready for the market. Just how long it takes to steam and pro pare each feather is a question that even skilled workwomen cannot answer. Their in tuition and knowledge of the articlo is a help in determining, but some feathers are just as obstinate about getting steamed and pol ished as their original owners were about getting caught, ana they will not down. But slender fingers finally coax the wayward tips and then the work is finished. Of course in the larger houses the method of doing this work is much Bimpler, though probably no contrivance has yet been de vised for supplanting the girls and their doft work with machinery. Indeed, it is doubt ful if there could be a machine invented to so thoroughly get at the little details with which the work abounds, and this may be tho causo of the girls' constant good nature. Still, as the subject is a light ono perhaps it would be just aB well not to drag machinery into it. Gneete at the Hotels. Gen. L. C. Armstrong, of Hampton, Vs., I at tho Everett. J. D.

Hacker, of Australia. and intlmato friend of the family, who, her self childless, had taken the orphan to her heart, and to the best of her ability supplied a mother's place. Perhaps she had erred towards her charge in one important particular. She had never trained her to domestic usefulness nor given her the knowledge of a single household art aud would say, when anything was hintod as to the advantage of such knowledge, even in tho case of a beauty who was something of an heiress, Oh, I could never think of weary ing the dear child about plain needle-work, and such drudgery 1 She has quite enough to do at school, as it is. The schoolmistress tells me sho makes surprising progress with her muslo and drawing, and she is really a prodigy in language." EaBy going Mrs. Price hod not overrated Bertha's proficiency. At sixteen she was really a most accomplished girl and tho next winter it was conceded by all her acquaintances that a more bowitchlng young lady had never been brought out." It was during the first season, at a soiree at some friend's house, that sho formed the ac quaintance of Harry Dale. Like many others, he was attracted at first, not so much by her delicate beauty, at by the charm of childlike purity and unconsciousness, which heighten ed its effect more than all tho acquired accom plishments. He soon gained an entree at Mrs. Price's, and followed up his advantages with such success, that in a few months Bertha's en gagement to the rising young barrister was regularly annouueed. The maiden's nature was slneere and con. flding, and Harry's ardent avowals were met, on her part, by a depth and fervour of attach ments at least equal to his own. A smile, half-roguish, half-doubtful, dim. pled Bertha's cheek as she re-entered the parlor, carrying the garment she had spoken of. Seating herself on a chair by tho window, she opened her work, and after some searches pro duced from its recesses a thimble of fairy-like dimonsions. The requisito materials were next arranged, but when Bertha fairly en. tered on her task it seemed as though 'an uglier rent had never tried a housewife's skill. In vain she sought to effect a lasting union between the edges noj sooner was the fabrio joined in one place than it would pucker and draw apart in another, Still she persevered, ripping and stitching, stitching and ripping again uutll, her nnucuvtouieu fingers ach. ffijalil SPORTS OF TRACK AND RING. e WILL BEATERS GHOOSB GREENWOOD LAKE OB SILVER LAKE?

But yet, who could tho writer bo Her husband's only female relative was a maiden sister, who resided in Devonshire, This was a London note, and bore the pro vious day'B post mark. Would it be very wrong in her to read it and find it out Harry had always mado it a point to hand her his letters when delivered at home, and he was welcomo to look at all hor corrospondenco. Surely thero would be no harm There lias over been but one result of such deliberations since Mother Eve inclined her ear to the tempter Bertha yiolded. She opened the note and found only these words Diarist Hahbt: Meet me to-morrow evening. All Is arranged. De secret. M The color came and went in Bertha's cheek as she read, and a Btrong hand seemed tight ening around her heart.

No; if anything, he uad seemed to grow moro affectionate Nonsense I Why should she make herself miserable over these few words Harry would doubtless explain all at dinner-time. She would go and prepare for that repast by putting on his favorito evening dress. She would not pain him by rovealine her unworthy suspicions not a word would she utter about the note. In spite, however, of all these reasonings and resolutions, Bertha oould not bring her. self to feel perfectly at ease. She fairly trembled as dinner drew to a close without a word from hor husband respecting the rays torv i and when he mentioned that he must leave her that evening, to keep a particular appointment, he saw that sho turned sud denly pale, Are yon ill, my darling be asked, with NEW TORK'B "GOOD SOCIETY."

The great trouble In thla country is the dilettante attitude which students aud even those further ad vanced assume towards their profession. This at titude Is a most fatal one and the causo of It Is easily discernible In tne opportunity of easily ob tained employment. The student Is In thla wsy thrown Intimately in with older heads, who look at art in a manner ruinous to the younger minds. It gives Dim an amateurish tendency to war da art, which, I observed before, is fatal to his future. Ho should work steadily and asstduonsly from wlthlu and must not look down upon art from the outside. This la the same troubles which la affecting all tne other professions In this coun try. Success comes too soon. Work anu more work and still moro work," if I may so use the old unfeigned anxiety, as ho enciroled her with his arm. Her answer failed to reassure him, as ho noticed a strango flutter in her voice. Summoning Nancy, he bade her take good care of her miBtress, and promising to re turn as quickly as possible, started forth to fulfil his engagement. When Bertha saw him depart without vouchsafing a hint towards the hoped-for explanation, she started up, and dismissing her attendant under the pretext of wishing to lie down, proceeded to her own room, her impulsive nature already worked up to tho point of desperation. Here sho hurrily put on hor shawl and bonnet, with a thick veil. Whilo adjusting the last-named article before a toilet-glass hor eyo fell on a small minia ture of Harry which lay on tho tablo. With a cry of anguish she snatched it up, pressed it passionately to her lips and bosom, and murmured, in broken accents, "Oh, Harry, my husband, little did I think, when, on our wedding morn, you placed this around my neck, that so soon your heart would wander from me, for I know you loved me then I" Tho excess of tender feeling soon subsided, and hor faco resumed its expression of fixed and stern resolution. The home of her treacherous husband could be hers no longer. To flee at once was now hor only wish; for bow oould she bear to meet him fresh from his guilty rendezvous? Mrs. Price, her former guardian, was on a visit to Paris, so Bertha could not seek her immediate protection: but sho resolved to write to her for counsel, and to take no further stepB until she received her answer. Mean time, she would betake herself to the home of a poor woman whom sho had formerly assisted, and remain there until she could shape her plans for the future. It was not likely her husband could trace her thithor. She now searched her purse, and found she had but a few pounds in hand. Tho raiu was still pouring in torrents whon Bertha alighted from a cab at the Widow Lee's door, in Camden Town. The good woman, on recognizing her visitor, seemed transfixed with astonishment. She quickly recovered herself, however, and "gave Bertha a hearty welcome. Then, without waiting for an explanation, she aldod hor in taking off her garments, and insisted on hor forth, with drinking u cup of hot tea all the while wondering what freak had driven the young French phrase. Four years at least and In many casta nve, la not too mnch to spend In thla appar ent drudgery before there should be any expecta tion of realising any emolument from work.
