CnioAOO, Dec. 22. Although this la not tho banner month In reoolpts and shipments, tbe Chicago roads havo novor bean no pressed (or cars as thus far during Docomber. Tho facilities torocoan transportation seora uttorly Jnadoauato to toko care of tho vast amount of traffic es'poelally nraln, with whloh tho trunk lines are gorging tho sonbonrd cities. Es pecially Is this the os.se In Baltimore whoro millions of bushels of com are stored awaiting the means of shipment which do not como, The Daltlmoro elevators are now crammed to tbelr utmost capacity, necessitating tho tem porary storing of tho sraln on tracks In the cars Id whloh It was rocelvod. Thousands of cars are now Idle In Daltlmoro for this ronson, and tbero Is no spoody prosroct of breaking the slat and freeing the loaded cars. I A careful computation made on Friday from figures in tho Rook Island offices shows that over 37,000 cars aro now on their way to Balti more, all of them Iondod with corn. This vast amount of corn can bo better realized when It Is known that It would mako a corn cake a foot high, a toot wide, and over 3,800 miles lone Thoso huge oorn shipments are the ex planation of the taot that the Chicago oast and west bound lines are doing tbe largest busi ness In their history. Enough traffic Is being offered to more than doublo tho record. Tho roads are compelled to refuse it becauBo they haven't cars with whloh to handlo the Immense amount of extra business urgod upon them. Tbe trend of business bolng of courso east ward, the Eastern lines are the ones whose traoks aro becoming blocked with cars. All tbe extra cars and tho majority of those In ao tlve use whon buslnoss Is at a low ebb are either now In or aro on their way to the sea board cities. This Is the reason why this month will not show suoh a large total tonnage as December ot last year, which broke tbe reoord. Tbe Western roads bare not the cars to haul It and if they had tho Eastern roads htfnnnt th Aura In which to transfer it. Every aar which oan be soared from the Western roads Is In tho East, and many whloh ought not to bo spared are likewise there. The Western roads ore not only refusing trafflo dally but thoy are between Bcylla and Cbaryb dls as to whether It Is better to turn over their loaded cara to tbo Eastern roads or lot them stand Idle In Chicago to await the time when tbe Eastern roads oan furnish their own cars for transfer. The Book Island now has nearly 300 loaded oars In the Baltimore and Ohio yards alone, and Is trying to dootde the problem ot whether to let the Baltimore and Ohio take them or to wait until that road can furnish transfer cars ot its own. The same problem is a common one on all of tho Western linos, and 'tlswitbln bounds to say that at loast 2,000 ears are tbus tied up In Chicago to-night. The problem has come to be suoh a vital one to tbe railroads that they would eagorly wel come any change looking toward a letting up In trafflo. But there Is no such prospoot in view. There ore now present the most unfavorable cond Itlons possible, and still the trafflo offered exceeds by 60 per cent the amount actually carried last December. There bas been no cold weather yet. and muoh or the corn, by far the larger cart ot it, has simply not boon of fered lor shipment because It was not la lit condition. Inhere should come a cold snap of a week's duration tho amount of grain offered would slmoly overwholm the roads. Then, again, tbo price of grain is lower than it has ever been continuously at this season, and ill tho farmers who can afford to do It ore Folding book their grain for hlither prices. Railroad men say tbe public has no concoptlon of tbo vast amounts of grain In the V) est, and constantly alludo to that now marketing as be ing the surplus for which storage room caunot bo found, or that which pressing debts have compelled tbe farmers Jjp sell. On account of the lmmoni-e Quantity the total amount of money which will go to the Western formers for the payment of this crop will ex ceed probably by at loast flftoen per cent, tho amount ever paid them for one years crop. The statistics of ea-t and west bound ship ments show that all kinds of business are ex ceedingly brisk. If.no grain whatever were shipped tho railroads would have little cause to complain. Tbe packers aloue, with dally shipments averaging ovor 800 care would keep them from defaulting on their dividends. Manr branohes of general business, suoh as hardware, lumber, So tnwblcb Chicago leads tbe cities of the world, show an Increase over oil previous years. These foots, of course, con only bo generalized at present, the roilroad shipments alone bolnc nsod as the basis ot MABU&owfnir. more conclusively tbo vast amount ot traffic yet remaining in tho West It may bo said that at leoBt four-tilths of the grain movement has been from the territory west ol tbo Missouri Biter. Hardly a car load has been received from the overflowing jrran arles of the Illinois. Iowa, Minnoaoto, nnd Wis consin farmers. Certainly not more then oue flrth ot tho Western groin has been marketed. The trafflo men ot tho Western roads nro nally offering praises to Allah or to whatever digni ties they worship that bad woatber atid low prices have held book the avalanoho of grain ready at any moment to bo poured on their heads. There is not a Western road that la not Sut to lis wit's end to dodge the requests and emands for ears from shippers whom In dull times tbo railroad men themselves beeeoh for a share of business. To-day, however, the tables ore turned, and tbe whilom haughty shipper is woorlng out shoe leather scurrying around from one road to another In tho vain effort to find oars. Scarcely a Western road has its canvassors In tbe Held. Nlne-ienths of thorn are onio i lng a well-earned vocation, and tbe general freight agent and tratllp mnnqgors have the Hon s share oftbe work to do In pacifying shippers, I whom they aro compolled to moot with u ro- i tusalin their demands for oars. The Eastern roads are in the same condition, only In their oaso It is lntnBlflod. Thoy are beset not only by shippers, but by tho Western toads. Hardly an bottom road will accent local groin shipments and some or the com mission men are taking, an enforced vacation Sntll suoh time as tho grain Llpckudo be roken. Heteral of the east-bouud lines aro serlou.ly considering tho question of refusing all grain shipment irom YVostrru roads until thty oan straigbton out tbelr own oter burdened facilities. This will be a lat resnrt. however, and bas been put tiff from day to day In the hope ot finding relief by somo otbor uVjC0 One phasoof tho crtrshortagoia felt more keenly by the Union 1'apfllo than bv any other Western road. In tliaold days whon Uio Union Pacific divided uj its trntllo at Oniuhu among tbe Western road's leading to Ohlcago.lt wus tbe custom for these roi.ds to run tholr own cars out into Union Pacific territory, pay Its agreed shore to tho Union PucluY. und haul the traffic without unloading nud re oadlug from the point of origin to Chicago. I ho Union 1'aclOc-Northnootern triifllu contraot. however, completuly paralyzes thi arnica o llttlo arrangement, By the terms of the contract the Union Paclllo ud t.oith. western bind Ihemeehfs to scratch tho other's bock to thoueolect of their coinpetl pre. The .Northwestern has, urgent use for Jill Its on cars In its ong haul from the 1'remont.

On Thurs day night at New Britain Thomas Clark, an oxpro6smon, carried, as was his wont, tbe pouoh containing tho evening mall from New Britain, down to tbo depot from the Tost Omco. Ho plncod It on the platform ot the station, and waited for the train, which, owing to an accident up the road, was two hours late. Ho remained In tho vicinity ot tho pouch until tho train came, but when be turned to put It on tho train, behold. It was gone. Tho police wero notified, and soven men searched tor three hours all around tho station unsuccessfully. There were in the pouch be twoen 400 and 600 letters. Many checks and money orders, und some postal notss were known to be among them. Banks, factories, and business housos were at once notified, and word sent for instruction to tbo Department in Washington, and a doteotlve employed. Tho next morning the pouch was discovered by Henry S. Walter and Charles B. Stanley of the Ktnnloy Ilulo and Level Company In Hteele's lot. opposite the east end of tbe old Francis Manufacturing Company's shop, and about fifteen foot south of tho railroad track, Qeorge Koyer, an employee of the company, hud no ticed papers blowing about tho spot, nnd he S em toned tbo fact to tbo foreman, who tola oanrs.

A alr ot ovorolls and n long knlle lay near by. any loiters and packages badnot been touched atoll. Many checks bad been torn In pleoes. nnd a package of cheoks Irom the First National Bank had not been opened. Tho work was evi dently done by green bands. Yesterday morning tbe pouch containing the moll from the Wost. due in Mlddletown at 9:30. wob, with its contents, cut in pieces at Borlin.

One ot the woalthlest women In New Egypt,Oceao county, is Miss Beulah Jane Lamb. Bho has always bold her own In business transactions with men. and Is very generally woll thought of, Tho story goes that her heart was stirred years ago, and that she was engaged to be married, but that parents broke off tho match. At any rato, for years she has been supposed to be on enemy of matrimony. Her only nophew, Mor ris Lamb, an athleto, and popular young man, was looked upon as the heir to her estate. Last Sunday evening, however. Miss Lamb went to church, and there met William Qennett. who Is 26 years old, and whose father owns the canning honso at New Egypt Miss Lamb is above middle age. Qennett escorted her home from church, and on Tuesday they were mar ried auletljrby Justice Lovott Instead ot in dulging in a wedding tour ther went directly to her home. Just about midnight Morris Lamb appeared. He had heard of the mar- tSygflknirt? or nihtutla th doorl' Everything remained quiet Inside, and Anally tho nephew effected an entrance.

Four girls, whose fathers are among Salem's solid men, recently banded themselvos together as the "GlrU1 In vincible League." It was after the style of "follow the leader." in that each girl pledged herself to do just what the leader did. Then followed a sorles of mischievous escapades that set the staid old town agog because of tbo mystery surrounding them. First a flag was found floating from tbe tower of tho Tab ernacle Church. Then tbe organ ot the North Church was nearly ruined by tampering with the water motor, and the coiling was crooked. Tho mystery was more quickly revealed than It was at first thought It nould be. for up in the belfry and In several of tbe choir bopks.it 1; stld, wore found the uainos of four girls, written in a fuir hand. There was also the date on which, it wan evident tho quartet bad visited tbe church. Tho doacans took tho matter up. and the fathers of the young women were Informed, lho girls made a full confession, and an ample apology from tho poronts followed. Then the story of the (Sir!' Invincible League came out. Thoy had decldedto climb every church tow er in Salem, nnd hail, in pursuance of tbsir darlngdoslgn.visitedtheNorth.the Tabernacle, nnd the South Church towers, leaving the flag at tbo Tobernoola.

Thero la trouble In St Anthony's Polish Oatbolle chnrch In Jersey City, and yesterday three policemen were called In at the morning service to preserve order. Tho chureh was es tablished two years age, and the Itev. Father Alexander Mlchanowskl was placed in chorge of It. It Is the only Polish ohuroh In the city. The ohuroh building Is at tbe corner ef Mon mouth and Blxth streets. It Is of wood. There Is a mortgago'of $3,600 on It. The root leaks, and a great deal of repairing Is needed to put it In first-class condition. Tha trouble began last summer, when Father Mtohanowskltook a vacation and went to France, so several parish ioners told a Bum reporter yesterday. In his absence a young priest had charge ot tbe parish. Tbe nine weeks he was there the col lections amounted to 3C0, which was turnod over to tho directors, and by them to Bishop Wlgger. It was the first time that tho dlreotors had known anything at all about tbe amount of money taken in t the ehurch. They learned, however, they say. that previously to this only $220 was turned over to the Bishop by Father Mlchanow skl. Tho directors began to wonder why more money had not been given to tbe Bishop, and when Father Mlchanowskl came back from France they asked him for an accounting, and he refused to give them any satisfaction. They went to bis house to oxamlno bis books, and ho ordered tbem out In vigorous Polish lan guage. They then appealed to Bishop Wlgger, and the Bishop told them Father Mlchanowskl was thslr priest and they must obey him. They appealed to the Bishop again, and asked that Father Mlchanowskl be removed and the young priest be appointed in his place. The Bishop paid no attention to tbelr demand. Tbey repeated It by letter on five different oc casions, they Bay, and tbey have not been able to get any satisfaction from tho Bishop. Last Sunday, when the parishioners wont to ohuroh to attend high mass, tbey found the ohuroh doors locked, and the following notice tacked on them; There will be as nUh ine eelebratedto-dar beeuu the VoUih people are bad Calkallcs, aad want to aar rol In chnrch with the prleet. The church directors then employed Lawyer Roderick B. Seymour as counsel, and wanted to begin proceedings in court to oust the priest. Tho lawyer advised them to wait a wee to see what tho priest would do. Satur day evening the priest told Capt Smith that no expected trouble at the church, and asked for police protection. Yesterday morning Itounds man Flsnnelly and two polloemon leansd against a fence on tbe opposite side ot tho street when the churoh was opened. Father Mlobanowskt appointed two men to stand at tho door and coileot, 09 usual, ten cents each from the non-seatholders who might come In. They had not boon there long when two col lectors who had been appointed by the trus tees oame In and wanted to take their places. Father Mlchanowskl ordered thorn out of the church. They relused to go. Tbe prjesr then stepped to tbe door and colled the policemen. He showed Roundsman Flan- 8ellr his papers from the Bishop to prove that e was the pastorottbo pariah, and the rounds man turned to tbe trustees' collectors and ad vlsod therq not to create any trouble, but to go out- They did go out. and stood on the cor ner where tbey discussed the situation With members of the congregation as thsycamo along to attend church. About 300 persons at tended tbe servioo. and those who ooulil un derstand Polish say that Father Mlchnnowskl made a bitter attack on the trustees.

He has $280 which was collected at tho ohuroh. and is holding It subjeot to the order of the trusteos. The trustees, who talked with a Sun reporter yesterday, said they wanted the money eollootad at the church to repair the ohuroh with, and tbey wore, not willing that Father Wfohanowskf should have anything to do with It We want a new priest.'' tbey sold. Wo will give him 50 a month and hla rent and. bis living, and that U all be Is worth.'

King Malletoa has nt last been formally reoogntzed as ruler ot Bamoa by the Consuls of the United States, Great Britain, and Germany. About a month ago the Consuls issued a proclamation declarlag that the Berlin Confer ence bad agreed to recognize Malletoa as King, and advising the natives to acknowledge him as such. Tamasese replied to this proclama tion by saying that his followers wore willing that such a course should be taken. Malletoa and Mataafa agreed to the suggestions of the Consuls, and the native chiefs of the islands olso signed a document acknowledging Malletoa as tbe King. As soon as tbe Bomoant had oome to this agreement, preparations were made for an official announcement ot Mallttoa's authority. Accordingly, on Dec 5 Malletoa's flag was hoisted on the site ot the old Oovornment House and the United States man-of-war Adams fired a salute ot twenty-one guns In Its honor. Tho Oerman man-of-war Sophie, which was also lying in the harbor, did not Are a salute. The Consuls he.d a conforonco on the same evening and Issued a proclamation declaring that the Governments ot the United Btntes. Great Britain, nnd Uermimv from this time will recognize Mallo too as King of Ramoo, The proclama tion also advised thnt the two native partlos whloh have been hitherto opposed to each other, effect a reconciliation as soon as possible, and contribute to the peaceable man agement of tho newKamoan Government. 'I his proclamation wns signed by Dr. Btuobel. Ger man Consu -General: II. DeiCoetlogan. Britith Consul, nnd W. Blacklook. United Htotes Vice CoebuI. It was printed in tbe English and Bemoan languages and posted In various parts of tha Island. The, opinion Is generally ex pressed that this action on Ihe part of the three Consuls will settle the Bamoan difficulty. xox oovld'S LxnLuan bite Enlivened by m K-oek-dewn aad Sr-K-ont ott O'clock Monday Marnlng.

Tho place la In a basemont. whloh Is a big, rambling affair, so large, in fact, that all tbe space is not utilized. At one end are a lot of tables at which one oan order tbe dishes usu ally to be had at suoh restaurants. One side of the room Is token up by a'spaclous bar, and on the other side are a lot of small rooms, some with swinging doors, and somo with no doors at all. where men and women sit and carouse. Tho license Is In tbe name ot John J. wogan. YeBterday morning mnny of these rooms were occupied by customers, who drank whis key and beer until 6 o'clock in tho morning. Things wero quiet enough until shortly after 2 A. M when the noise of a llerco row and the sound of heavy blows brought tho occupants of the llttlo rooms out Into tbe open spaco about the bar.

PoTrsTJM Dec 2X What has boen pro dieted in these coal trade despatches for the past months tn The Sox has come to pass. Coal mining will Terr soon be at a complete standstill. At least 10.000 men and boys are Idle ln tho anthracite coal region ot Pennsyl vania, the number being about evenly divided In the three great ooal basins. The remainder will go on three-quarter time to-morrow, and It there Is no change ln tbe general trade It will not bo long before all the mines will be shut down completely. Dead work Is mostly completed about the collieries, and when the order oomes to stop the onlr people to be em ployed will be tbe engineers la charge of the pumps. Twenty-five thousand men and boys will then bo Idle, who are In the employ of the Heading Coal and Iron Company alone. Tho destitution among tho miners now being ie Dotted was anticipated nearlr a month ago In iheie desratcbes. It was sure to come witn the continued temperate weather. And It has Sime. with Intense reality, on the very eve of hnstmas. Many a mlnerwlll be content with pork and potatoes for Christmas, If he can get tbem. He bas little If any credit at the stores and lots of debt. With a month or more of continued ldloness staring him in the lace the outlook for tba hard ooal miners Is anything but encouraging. Tbn Heading Company has hurried all Its mined coal out of the region and moved It as Eear to the water as possible. In the event of a eavy snow storm In the near future The Stocks at tide water are not large. Tbey are ept low. but the markot does not take what Is arriving. In order to be rendr for any sudden demand for coal, the Heading Company has thousands of loaded cars at convenient sid ings, Irom ten to twenty miles away from the market. This practically keeps a reserved supply at band, without piling It up on the wharves to disturb or demoralize buyers by the sight of an overstocked market: so tbat. no matter how cold tbe weather may become, mlnlog will not take on any activity for n long time. There has been onnngh coal mined to keep the trade going lor weeks, and until the rcservo supply on tbe sidings along the lino is used up thoro will be no orders to resume work atthomluos. Thus far this year tbe companlos hae sent to market about thteo millions of tons of coal less t him last yoar. That means at least t3.50O,tHaj taken oft the wages of tho miners, which has had a disastrous offect on the men. Tberearo millions of tons ot coal ln this re gion to be mined, thus insuring constant work tor the men, but the roller of the producers Is nottomlno; or. In other words, thoy send to market only as much coal as the trade will tako. Prices continued a trifle below the cost of the summer circular. Private operators, that Is. individual miners, in need of money, are shad ing prices very much and selling the mined eoal thoy have on band and then shutting down. Informing their employees that there is no telling when tboy'll resume, work. All in all, coal mining has a dreary outlook, the very worst In years. Ho such a aout down bas been known since the strike. The, regular miners .are taking it philosophically, but the foreign element is either leaving or out on the tramp, begging for support. AN APPEAL FltOil DUPED ZHHEBB. They are Destitute, end Aak for Mosey to Oet Heck to New York. Columbia, 8. C, Doc. 23. Peter Weber, a Frenchman, who was ln the phosphate mine troubles ln Colleton county recently, and who was hired by William Orlando ot New York, has written the following: "I was one of a lot of laborers, French and Swiss, who came hero, having boen engaged in Kew York by an agent named Orlando to work near Jacksonboro. We arrived at tho works, and found that as to price and work we had been deceived. We determined to leave after having worked two days. Accordingly we loft the ramo. and. when about two miles on tne Jacksonboro road, we were overtaken and nt taoked by fifty Italians, armed wltb rifles, re volvers, and pick handles. They were under tbe lead ol Orlando, who carriod a Winchester rifle. We were driven back by force, and Bey era) of us severely wounded. By letters the French Consul at Charleston was Informed. He uulckly camo to our relief, and remained at tbe sceno until he had ran somed us with money and enabled us to get away. ?ow we aru In this city, and It is Im possible for ns to find employment Tbe most ot us are married man and have families In Now York, wbo are anxiously awaiting tid ings and assistance from us. We nie there fore compelled to appeal for aid to the whole community, so that we may get back to New Yoik. Permit Ub to express in advanoe our heartfelt thanks Tor any assistance tbat may be given usto return to those near and dear to us." There Is much indignation felt at the cruel and Inhuman manner In which tbe foreigners mining In this Btate are treating the unfortu nate and Ignorant Immigrants. and It Is proba ble that some legal action will be taken to pro tect the laborers In the future. They are treated In a manner that the poorest class ot negroes would not endure. TKJtPTBD Iir A It ACE TRACK TOUT. A. Boy of 14 Commit Three Fertrerles, auid the Toot Pockets ell the Money. A 14-year-old boy was held at Jefferson Market yosterday for forgery. He waa Thomas A. Collins ot 229 West Forty-third street, a bookkeeper in the emptor of Murray k Hill, sash and blind dealers, of 439 West Forty-second street Ills salary was $4 a week, and he bad tbe handling of the check book and all the corresponaence. Collins was charged with forging the name ot Murray .V 11111 to a check on the West Bide Bank for $20.75, payable to the order ot Martin GrllTln. Collins refused to say anything when ar raigned before the Judge Colllua lays tbe blame on a young man named either Aaron or Jerome, a race track tout who Informed the boy tbat he often had sure things on a race track. Ho met Jerome at tbe People's Theatre, and told him where he was employed and tbat ho had the handling ot tbe cbeok book. Between the acts Jerome took Collins out to have a drink, and when they parted that night it was with a promise to meet agnln. They mot at tbe Occidental Hotel, and Jerome, handing a blank check to Collins, prevailed on him to forge bis employer's name to It "Just to see II you can Imitate tbe lg nature ot the firm." said Jerome. Collins did so. and Jerome, filling out the check, presented it at the bank and received 118.78. tho amount called for. The next check was presented by Collins on Dec. IS. and was for $20.75. Collins tumod the money over to Jerome to bet wltb, Jerome gave him 12. The two met again on Friday night and Jerome Informed his dupe that be had lost the money. Collins and Jerome 8ut up at the Occidental Hotel for tbe night n Saturday moraine Collins forged another check for 122. and calling lore messenger boy put the check In an envelope and sent him to the bank to cash It The paring toller refused to cash the cbeok, as he had discovered the other forgeries, and when tho messenger returned to the hotel a policeman went along. Jerome saw tbe officer in time nnd disappear ed. Collins was arrested. aVIClDB OP A BKATBX BAILVIL The Second Matte Whs Beet film la Iroae for InsQhordlauttlOB. The American clipper snij Robert L. Bel knap dropped anchor under the Statue of Lib erty yesterday after a voyage ot 118 days from Ban Francisco, with one sailor leas ln ber crew than she had when abe left tho Golden Gate, and with Becond Mate Davis In Irons. The missing sailor was a young fellow named Wil liam Thomas, He carried printed cards whiob gave bis address aa 227 Becond street Accord ing to the stories ot several ot his shipmates. Thomas was severely beaten by the second mate when tbe Belknap was four days oat. He turned in at midnight on Aug. 29. His mates saw bim deacend into the forecastle, but nono of them, tbey say. saw him come out again. lie did not respond when he was called to goon watch at 4 o'clock the next morning. lie was not In bis mink. A search ot tbe ship showed that be was not aboard. Capt llleb called all hands aft and asked encb man II he knew anything about Thomas's disappearance. Each said tbat be bad heard no noise on deck between midnight and 4 o clock. The Captain made a note of the young sailor's disappearance, and had everybody sign It. He said yesterday that he believed Tbcmaa had lumped Into tbe sea. He did not know anything about tbe trouble between the second mate and tbe vanished sailor. The aetond mate was nnder arrest for insubordination. On Deo. 4 he bad a ouarrel with the first mate, whom ho threatened to brain wltb a belaying Bin. Tbe Belknao will be docked to-day, when avis probably will be turned over to a United Btatos Marshal. TerrlOe Ualletoraa la Near Uampaklra. Nashua, Dec. 22. A hailstorm struck this region at 2 o'clock to-day, and lasted bait an hour. Hailstones aa large as birds' eggs and borne on a terrific tornado filled the air so as to obscure vision. Men and women were driven under tho nearest shelter, horses were stampeded on the streets, and did great dam ace to vehicles, thousands ot window panes were shattered, and In some Instances domes tic animals were killed. i HAHQVXT Or TUB BABBITtl. They e An the TTer Ka New Tetti t raUedelehla for at Harr f Ten-eels. Sixteen distlDgnlshod-looklnir genUemen came together In a broker's office In Broad street on Saturday afternoon. They each wore a scarf pin of tbe same pattern. In the form ot little golden rabbit sitting bolt upright on his bind legs. Each rabbit had sparkling eyes made ot rubles. They were all members of the Babbit Club, and the Babbit Club dines to gether somewhere) every other Saturday. Each member ln turn gives a dinner. Every member ol the Babbit Club is alto a member of the New York Athletic Club, Half a dozen or more are stock brokers, several are bankers, the others are merchants. They are all handsome men. Most of tbem belong to swell social clubs, and to tbe crack regiments. Meveral months agoono of the present mem bers went rabbit shooting. He bagged ten rabbits. He Invited nine of bis friends to dine with bim. Each man had a rabbit to eat They Injoyed it so much Uiat then and there they formod themselves Into the Babbit Club, with the understanding that each member must give a dinner, and they elected a Buck Babbit to preside at tho dinners. As time went on the news ot the wonderful dinners ot the Rabbits spread abroad. There were many applications for membership, but tbe Babbits were exclusive, and the member ship Is onlr about twenty to-day. Every newly elected Babbit gives a dinner ln Ilea ot on Initiation fee. The dinners are peculiar. Until he sits down at the table nono or them knows where tbe dinner Is to be except the Babbit wbo Is giving it Tbey only know tbat thoy aro going to dine. In this witv they hnvo been led to many curi ous places for a dinner. Two weeks ago they fetched up at tho Jerome race track and had a dinner In the. club bouse there to music by the Heventh Itcglrrent hand. when the slxtoen Babbits who obeyed tha summons yesterday met nt the Brood street ofilce there was only ono who knew where they would dine, and ho bundled his fellow Babbits Into cnrrlnges and they were whirled away to Cortland street lorry, and presently were on their way to Philadelphia nnd tbe bouse of tho old Philadelphia Merchants' Clnb. Five mtnutos after reaohlng there thoy marched Into a large dining room. After the oysters and soup the Gray Babbit rose and asked the Buck Babbit If ho might make a confession. Permission was granted, and ho said: "I ate lomo terrapin ln this house five years ago. It was so good tbat I wanted to come back and get some more. Thai's why you are here." Then the dlnmond-back stew was brought on. and a stranco quiet foil upon the scene. Canrasbaeks nnd graceful frogs' legs and a rare brand of champaguo foltowod It A poker party, composed of two Phlladelphlans. a Chi cogoan, ana a Bostonlau, was in tho next room. They Hint a polite request to bo allowed to treat tbe Babbits. It was accepted, and when tbe wine came tho Babbits tilled their glasses to the brim and marched into tbe poker room and around the table, singing tho club song. Alter dinner tbey formed In line again, and, led by the musicians, marched up Walnut street to a theatre. They filed down the main aisle and sat in two rows, and threw all their buttoubole bouquets at n young woman ln ab broWatod skirts who sang just a little song for their especial benefit. At 12 o'clock tho Babbits wore back In their special car, and some minutes later were on their way back to Now York. At 2 A. M. a gamo supper was served in the car, and great quantities of prairie bens, and snipe, and pheasants, and other birds wore devoured. It vina 5:30 o'clock when Jersey City waa reached. Some timo betwoen 7 and 8 o clock yesterday morning sixteen distinguished looking gentlemen softly turned sixteen latch keys, removed thirty-two shoes, and walked quietly up sixteen pairs ot stairs ln various parts of this oltr. CUV3 THEFTS MOUffTINO UP. The Chinese Faehtoa Is to Collect from the Belatnlter'e Relatives. The flight ot tho Chinese defaulter, Chu Fong. Is stirring up Mott street to its depths. The firm of Kwong Hong Long was made the endorser ot all of Chu Fang's notes and forged checks, tho poor English signatures of the firm being imitated very easily br the forger. In fact all ot tho forgeries of the names ot Chinese firms were accomplished easily. The managers of the firms write sehoolbor hands when ther write in English. The banks which paid these checks were the Bowery National and tbe Oriontal. where quite a number ot reputable Chinese merohants have accounts, and where Chu Fong was also a small depositor. It Is now ascertained that tno combined In terest of Chu Fonc ln both of the stores did not amount to 14.000. and his liabilities bave tbus far boon footed up to oTer f 27.000. The latest returns, ln addition to those reported ln yesterday's Uuyt are: Mr. Stephens of Centre street a friend of Lawyer Johnson, Chu Kong's attorney. 12.600: Mr.Bhielso! Brooklyn. 13.800; Mr. Yuet Sing of 10 Chatham square. $500, ona forged check on tbe Bowery National Bank, for which the old merchant gave Chu Fong cash: Mr. Bang Ohong of 28 Mott street grocer, $200. But this Is probably only the beginning, aa most ot bis Chinese victims, tbe confiding Chinese laun drymen who were known to have given tbe young scamp all their earnlngs'to bank for them, learned nothing about his rascalities un til tbey came to town yesterday. Io all likeli hood the amounts tbat Cnu Fong stole will go over $30,000. and will mnke him the chief of Chinese dofaulters ln tne United States. He Is a Christianized Chinaman. The story ot nls running away wltb a pretty American girl is now denied, but Instead he had Dimply swindled the young lady's father out ot sevoral thousand dollars ot borrowed money. Tho first inkling of Cnu FnngH crook edness was made known when a forged note of Messrs. Blnn Uwong On Co. or 31 Mott street made out for $1,000 and payable at the Shoe and Leather National Bank, went to protest Lawyer H. E. Hopkins of 322 liroadway repre sented Sinn Qwong On when it was discovered that Chu i ong had very Ingeniously forged the firm's name and that of Kwong Hong Long, tbe endorsers. This discovery frightened the young fellow, and it Is said be disappeared im mediately after he received tbe news. According to Chinese law a blood relative Is responsible for tbe debts of anotber. At least It hns been so for years among Chinamen ln America. Mr. Chu Fong Wing, the head of the Quong Hong Long firm, is an uncle of tbe de faulter, and the Chlneso victims ot the latter all look to bim for compensation. Other New York cousins of the defanlter seemed to think that if Chu Fong had gone to Canada the authorities here will be powerless to get blm back, owing to the new antl Chinese Inw.prohlbltlngChlnese-born subjects to reenter tbe United States. Throe hundred dollars was offered on yester day afternoon by mombers of tho Ouong Hong Long fl rm in 5 Mott street for Chu Pong's arrest He is said to be a member of good standing In a Brooklyn church.

Few ot them apparently ever used an axe before the crusade began. A skilled axeman would chop down elghteonor twenty poles In a day and leavo the stumps smooth and no more than an inch or two above the ground. It is very different with the de partment men. When an ordinary pole Is at tacked one man swings the axe vigorously a few minutes and teen surrenders It to a com rade.

This man could bcaroely stand, but he climbed a pole rapidly and did his work perfectly. When he came down he staggered backward serosa the sidewalk, and would havo fallen had he not stumbled against albnlldlng and recovered a part of bis balance.

A meeting commemorntivo ot the twenty first anniversary of the Presbyterian Hospital Boclotr waa held resterdar afternoon In the South Church, at Twenty-first street and Fifth avenue. After religious exercises Mr. John 8. Kennedy, President of the Board ot Managers, mads an address which partook of the nature of a report Speaking ot the recent Ore, bs found occasion to express the gratitude of all Interested ln the hospital for the services per formed by private citizens, and tha various hospitals that opened their doors'to the pa tients onlast Thursday night. Mr. Kennedy said that work had begun toward remodelling two ot the bulldlnes untouched by flro. which might bo completed as early aa Tuesday. This wilt provide accommodation lor forty patients. The ambulance service will be continued as before, nnd if thoro is no room for persons thus brought In. thoy will bo taken to other hos pitals. The reDuIlding of the structure de stroyed by fire will be pushed as rapidly as possible. This will call for tbe expenditure of about $200,000. Tho total valuo of the property Is $1,750,000. There Is room In the hospital for HOward patleuts. Buildings could be put up on unoccupied ground at a cost of $500,000. which would doublo tbo capacity. It costs about $50,000 a year to entry on the present work, but It the oapaclty of the Institution were doubled, tbo running expenses would not be more than $80,000. Mr. Kennedr brought for ward these figures ln the coursj ot n plea for the extension ot ths work. When tbo hospital was opened, seventeen years ago. the city contnlnod 000.000 Inhabi tants, 'ibe population has Increased br at least two-thirds, but hospital accommodations during tbe same period bato been Inoreosed very slightly. The difference In tbe demands upon tbe Presbyterian Hospital Is shown In the number of patlonts accommodated at tho different periods, and notably In tho number of ambulance calls. Tbe first year the ambu lance went ntlt 949 tlmau tttirlnt- ihs vnnp mat ondtng tbo calls have numbered b'JO. 1 be re port for this yoar also shows that 1.307 patients hate been discharged oured from the hospital.

It bad covered tbo dlstanco In fourteen minutes from the time ot the alarm. cnjDtricK's quarter cbntlnmac Interesting Services In ths Second XTnl. tartnn Church or Brooklyn. The uervices In tho Becond Unitarian Church in Clinton and State streets. Brooklyn, were doubly interesting resterdar. The pastor, the Ber. John W. Chadwlok. celebrated the twenty.ntth anniversary of his ministry In ths church and of bis ordination, and the mombers of the congregation bad an op portunltr not onlr to congratulate their minis ter, but to renew the acquaintance of the first pastor of the church, the Bov. Samuel Long fellow, a younger brothor of the poet Cut flowers and rare blossoms ln pots, palm leaves, and evergreens were banked on the platform, and the rest ot tho building was artlstlcallr decorated. There were spools! musical fea tures, and the church was crowded both morn ing and evening. Mr. Chadwlck sold great changes in thought bad taken place during a quarter ot a century. Changes had been brought about by solsntlflc discoveries, by the researches of students, and by the goneral Increase of knowledge. Many had feared that these changes would hare bad a tenaency to weaKen tne foundations or roll- f:lon, but he did not believe they hod weakened t They had instead been tho means of cor recting some of the old errors, and had deep ened and enlarged tbe foundation ot faith. During the quarter of u century be had been preaching an impression had gone abroad that ths emphasis of bis preaching bad been to tell what the Unitarians did not believe ln rather than what they did. This misapprehension was due to tbe fact that while three-fourths ot his sermons had been on practical subjects yet tbo ones that bod been published were selected from doc trinal services In which be dwelt on theological questions, and ther did not by any means represent tbe true emphasis ot his pleaching. Mr. Chadwlck roforrod to the changes in the church during the years ot nls service, and closed by reciting "Ould Lang Syne." The Bev. Samuel Longfellow followed with a brief address. In tbs evening the Rev. liobert Oollrerpreaehed again the sermon ho had de livered at the ordination of Mr. Chadwlck ln 1851.,. The text was And Enoch walked with God." Addresses wore also delivered by ths Rev. S. H. Camp. H. Price Collier, and tho Bey. Theodore a Williams. ROBBD CBOIB WOUBX. A Novelty that will be Introduced la St. Peter's Chnreh oa Christmas. The Christmas services at St. Peter's Episcopal Church ln Btate street Brooklyn, will bo particularly Interesting this year be cause women in vestments will be a part of tho choir, and will be seated with the men and boy singers. The Idea ot robing ths women origi nated ln Australia, and it has been received with favor by some churches InEnglsnd. The ex periment was first made in St Pater's Churoh on All Bainta day, when the female ohoristors appeared in vestments and caps of black alpaca. There Is a movoment in Bt Peter's Church to nave robed women ln the choir always, and the members ot tho choir and organist W. B. Rhodes, have written letters to Rector Lindsay Parker asking that he lay the matter before the vestry. Organist Rhodes writes: We Cars roily experienced tha adrantaf a of ths com bination, and most certainly tha women shonld be seat ed where thoy can do tha most rood, Aa to vestments. It Mimi to ma that all tha objeoUon should be acalnat their sol balnr need, for It la most desirable to avoid aach contrast! ot color and style aa wa should otherwise nave.

The bin retail dealers who employ cash boys, the clerks In the stores, and customers are notified tbat a number ot bright but very sinful boys have concocted an entirely new and highly profitable swindling game. It was played with much success in a Sixth avenue store on Saturday afternoon, and it Is pretty certain that there have been other victims. The store was crowded with holldar buyers and patrons At one of the busiest counters a lady handed the girl a $5 bill to pay for some trilling purchases. "Cash!" screamed f ho clerk. Number 24." said a thin, infantilo voice near by, Tho number was murked on the price card, and the caru and money was thrust Into a dirty little band which appeared through the crowd. Tho customer waited for her chango until she was weary, and then re. quested that a search be made lor tbe cash boy. A search was made, but the boy could not be found. Tbe full complement ot legiti mate cash boys.were found to bo on band, but not one oftbom could be recognized aa Num ber 2!" Then'tho conviction slowly dawned on tbe mind of the clerk that "number 21" had just dropped In. and, aftor he bad got the money, he had just dropped out again. Blc Osss ts be Tested at Aaaapolls.

From one of two gas burners In the centre ot tho room hung a rubber tubs about six feet long, the lower end lying by the girl's cheek. It had evidently fallen from her lips af tsr shs lost consciousness. The goo had been turned on from both burners. There were still signs of life ln tbe child. Ths surgeons at tbe New York Hospital worked over her for several hours, but it was said last evening that tho enancos were very much against her recovery. The saa had benn caping for four hours whsn ths girl was found. Louise, so far as Is known, lived hsnpllr with her uncle, a man of about 40, wbo has boen ber guardian slnco tho death of her mother some years ago.

Uer most intimate friondof her own age Is Carrie Bunner, who lives near by. Carrie sold last evening: I oan't think of any reason why Louise snquid do as she did. I saw her this morning, and she seemed happier than usual, bho said she would come over toourhouso to dinner, and we expected her at 12 o'clock. 8ho had had a bad cough for a long time, and she spit blood, sometimes. Bhe seemed to feel badly about her cealth. but sue had nothing else to trouble her.

A short timo after Frederick Fehlermann. the union's dele- trato to the Convention ot the American Fodcr- atlon of Labor at Boston, retnrsod. he called I toicether the members of the union and ln- H formed them that Sam Gompers. President ot the American Federation of .Labor, was really ln sympathy with capitalists, was consorting witn boodle politicians, and had spoken atrainst the Tailors' Union in a most outro eeous manner at the recent convention at Boston. A meeting; was called tor yesterday after noon at Vathauer'a Hall. 89 First avenue, to Klve President Gompers a hearing. IIo did not come, but ho sent a lone letter. In it nothing; was said as to tbe allegations that he was ln sympathy with capitalists or of his consorting with politicians. Bat he advised the Progres sive Tailors to join the National Journeymen Tailors' Union.' The row. It appears. Is about tho union label The convention recognizes the label of both unions, wnllo theFroirresslvss wanted their label recognized exclusively. Delegate Fehlermann had a great deal to say ol 'the conduct of PresldentGompers. lie said: "Gomporswasatthebook and call of all the politicians In Boston, hs he was in 1868 at tha convention In Baltimore, and In 1887 at Bt, Louis. The Mayor and the Aldermen and the other capitalists bad tbe call everywhere. At no time did the wprkingman set any show at H alL You Bee how that Gompers treats you. Ha scoffs at your invitation to come here and ex plain his conduct. For this you pay Gompers tSO a week and his secretary 125 a week. I pity yon from the bottom of my heart." Delegate Fehlermann went on talking to head off any proposition that possibly might be made toward taking up the suggestion of Gompers that tho trvo tailors' unions should unite.. He said, it was absolutely neoessarr that there shonld be a Progressive Tailors Union, In which ail the radical-thinking tailors could join. .The trades unions were conserva tive nnd well enough suited to the mind of the English workinsmen. It was finally decided by the meeting to lay the complaint before the Progressive Union at its annual meeting, which Is soon to be held in this city. The Central Labor Union decided yesterday to admit the Urania Labor Clu b of Walters, and to reject the Teutonia Labor Club ot Waiters. Baroalns la Jfaraltare en tha West Bide.

I The Host Iport Work of the Interna- tloaal Marine Conference Llctvia ssae) Honnd Hlg-aala to be V4 by Nlaht ana H la roiC y Veeeele ol Every Deecrlrtlon. Washinoton, Doo. 22 The most Impor- Innt feature of tho work ot tho International I Marine Conference has been tho consideration of tho subject of regulations for preventing; collisions at sea. Tho subject km embraoed In tbe first division of tho proerammo, ns pre pared br the Unltod States delegates, and its consideration occuplod fully seven-eighths ot the tlino of tho Conference. It was finally finlabod, however, at tho tast sossion. Tho cumber of articles have been Increased from twenty-seven to thirty-one, tho scope ot manr have been btondened. and the language mndo clear. Throughout tho whole regulations the word "ship" In tho old rules ts changed to vessel In tho now. Bteam vossel Is made to Include any vessol proDolled br machinery, and a Toseel under war" la within tho moan Inn of the regulations when sho la not at anchor, or inndo fast to the shore or aground. The word "visible" In tho regulations, when applied to lights, Is raada to mean vlslblo on a dark eight with a cloar atmosphere. The first change me.de Is In regard to tho light to be carried In front ot the foremast. The amendment Drovldos that this light, re- gardloss ot the breadth ot tho vossel, shall not lf be required to be carried over fortr toot above tho hull. Tho noxt chango provides that n .team vessol. when under war. mar carry an additional whlto light, similar In construction to the llxht to be carried In front ot the fore mast, Thoto two lights shall bo so placod in line with tho keel that one shall be at least Olteon foot higher than tho other, and In each a position with reforonco tn each other that the lower light shall be forward of the upper one. Ihe voi Meal dlstanco between these lights shall be less than tho horizontal distance. i The new regulations In regard to lights tor towing stearuors aro ns follows: Aiteamveucl when lowing another vessel shall, la addition to li.r Kid Jlulith. carry two bright whit. lights In a vertical lino. on. over the other, not loss than six feel apart, and when towing mora than one vesssl shall carry an additional bright whlta light six feet aoove or below such light if Che Isnglh ot ilia tow. measuring from tb item ot the towing vtssel to the item of tho last vessel towed, exceeds tOii feet. ttacb of these lUhu ahatl be of tho lame contraction and character, and iball be curried in the aatna poiltlon aa the whit tore matt light, exceptlnir tho additional light, which may b Icarriea at aneight of not leu than fuurteen feet above the hull. Suen steam vessel may carry a email whtl lliht abaft the funnel or aftcrmait tor the veuel towed to liter by. but such light (bail set be visible forward of the beam. The Conference mntorlally changed the reg ulation In rogard to" vessels not under com mand. Tho new ono roads: A vesssl which from any accident la not under eom" Band mall oarry at thaaama hstght aa tb whit for tnaot light, where they can beet be leen. and It a iteam ve ML In Hen ot that Hint, two red lights.

Tho requirement that telegraph-cablo ves sels shall curry their lights In "globular lan terns, each not loss than ten Inches In dinme lor." is omitted altogothitr from the regulations ol the Uonleience. and it Is also omitted wher ever oho It occurs in the old regulation. The how regulation relating to "exceptional lights tor small vieeol4" leads: Whenever, ae lu the caae of email veii.1i under way daring bad weather, tb irreen and red sidelights cannot be fxod. three lights shall be kept at hand, lighted and ready for me and halL on the approacn ot or to other vsssels, te exhibited on their reipectl" sides In lurfcteiit time 10 prevent collision.

PAYliSlU.SXS. Onset-rations of" The florae Accident Pre vention Hoclety" of London. Vom the Zondon Telegraph. Tbls pxcollent society has ns yet done little mora than get Itself into working ordor. It seems it la about to tako the titty voxtrles ot Loudon In detail and ultimately to nddrobs It soil to tho London County Council, with the view, nmong others, of securing a bettor adap tation of Btrout paving to horse tralllc. The Chairman of the society. Col. Colvile, strongly advocates the gent rnl application of brakes to ail four-wheolod carriages and the subjection of drlversto certain conditions of lltnoss jiuc tho moro immediate object tHto bring about an lmprovoment lu the paving of the streets. In ordor to arnue ptiblla opinion to tho sub ioct, tho xocloty has been rodoctlnc some most Interesting nnd curious inets about the n hulvo safety ot wood, asphalt, and stone pavement in London. Tbo observations aro by (nr too complex and detailed lor reproduction hero; but wo will summarize them. Tho threo clascos of ro.iUft wood, asohnlt, stone wore observed, as nearly as was pos Mltile. undor the snmo conui.inns of apaee. woatber, gradients, soundness Ac. Alter lllty das' observation It was proved beyond doubt tbat before meetlugvvltb an accident ahorse would travel a lar greater dlstnneo on wood thau be conld either on asphalt or mi stone. It was found that whon tho surface of the pave ment was dry a horse beforn meeting with an accidont woulii travel (J4G miles ou wood, 2'JJ on nsphalt, and 78 on grnnlto. Tho d.imp weather ilguros wore 125 mlios for asphalt, 1CS for gritnlio, ami l'J.1 for wood. When the weather was thoroughly wot a borre could trav ol on nsphalt 19.2 miles before mooting with an accident, ii'i on wood, and 5J7 ou crnnlta. The foregoing figures, save ilr. J, V. Thomas, beorotary to tho society, appear to show that 1. Asphalt waa mot s'lppery when merely damp and saieet when perfectly ury, aod that a horse might boexpeilol to travel on th asphsl. without an ecu dent nearly twice I lie distance when the iiivement was dry that It could do vlien damp 1 hat graulie wus most sdppery when dry. and safest when wett ttistu horse might bo expected to travel on granite without accident nearly suten times the dl.taute when tti-i pavement waa wet than when dry, and tnat Hie grannn waa about twloe as safe when merely dampasubin drt U. That wood aasmost s ippsry, when damp, and eufeit when dry I thiit a horse intglit be expected io travel on the wood more than three ilineN the distance when the pavement was drj than v, hen damn, aud that tho wood waa more than twice as sate when wet aa whendamp. It will bo noticed that only under n nlnglo condition, and that tbo loast persistent, is granite safer than wonil and asphalt, anil that wood Is sufor than usphalt under all circum stances. It was nlsoobservod that grnnlto was tho least sale, and wood most safe. When dean. It Is also a fact that wood Is much loi-s noisy than nstibalt. Again, It was ascer tained thut tails on hnunohen were upward of ton times moro numerous on asphalt thiiii on wood, and complete fnlls tlvo timet as numer ous. Tho commonest falls on wood paveinoiit are falls nn knees: tho least dnngerouB. says tbo Secretory. "Olcomplnto Hills there woro fewest on wood nnd most en grntilln; hut tho difference betweon usphalt and grnnlto was small, and on both asphalt nnd granite there wero about four times tho proportion of fulls that tboro wero on wood." Now, It hue been provod that tbo slipperlnesi of woodln damp or wet wo ithor can b ob viated br cleaning. AI! tho oxperia appear to bo strongly Infavorof tbo unlvoisnl adoption of wood. Mr. Dollar of tho gioat firm of Messrs. East ft Co.. who la n member of Iho committee, urgod its adoption. Ho does Mr. Tilling ot Peckhitra. One effectual remedy for slippery stroets Is to sprlnklo them with sand and one ot the proposals which the deputation will hav e to make to t be commissioner nnd the vestrios Is that supplies of sand should always be keot in readiness, with men knowing how to sprinkle it promptly and proporly, Mr. Henry Withers ot Messrs Withers Co, has shnwnus bow, by tbo use of India-rubber pads Inside the eboes, horses can run seourelr over sllnrery roads, but, ho adds, these appliances would be too expensive, except for woll-to-do people. Of coure Mr. Withers is as strongly as any ot bis professional brethren in favor ot a change in tliemanagomontot our roadways. It Is not suggested that the pavement should bo torn up, but only that the asphalt, when worn out, should be replaced by wood; so tbat ultimate ly the whole of London should have one uni form pavement. It Is a question of groat pub. lfo importunes. Our dumb follow creatures are not tile only sutlxrerH from Imd roads. It is largely owing to tho state of the roads that 200 peoplo ore killed upon tbem, and between three and four thousand wounded annually, London adds elgbtr miles of streets everr rear to her already amazing mileage.

Thcro Is no doubt that the new sea-going torpedo bont No. 1, bearing tho name of dishing, will bo tho finest of tho marvellous productions of the blind boat builder, nerreshoff. from whoe yard here she will soon be launched, This Is saying much when tbo records of the Now Thon. Say When, and Stllotto aro considered. All tbe people in this slotv-colng old country town are proud ot tho Cushlng, and manr a scrap book In tbo town now contains Tub Bun's recently pub lished story of tho gallantry of Lieut Wm. D. Cushlng, who blew up tho Confederate ram Albomarlo nt Plymouth, N. C. In 1SGI. Tho Cnsbtng has boon constructed for the purpose of discharging automobile torpedoes, thosn earning tholr own propolllng power, whllo sho Is travelling nt a hlchrato of spoetl. Commander 0. A. Convcrso, U. S. N., has charge of bor construction. Bho Is 133 feet long, IS foot wide, 10 foot deep, and draws 4 foetlnohos, Hor displacement is about 100 tons, ijpnod has been the prime objoot In ber construction, nnd it wilt bo llborally paid for. Tho Thornrcroft toriodo boat Arlote. built for tbo Spanish Qovornmont, Is 147 foot long, nnd has n speed of twentr-slx knots nn hour. Bho ts said to bo tbo fastest vessol In the world. Tho Cushlng Is required br contract to moke twenty-two knots an hour. Tor ovory fourth of a mil abovo twentr-tbroe knots por hour Undo Bam offers to par tho blind boat builder a bonus of J 1,500, and fur ovcry qtinrtor of n knot above twenty-four knots an hour ho will pay Mr. HorroshofT a bonus of $2,000.

All tho quarters aro plain ly but very comfortably furnished. Bho will carry :)r tons of coal, and will havo acoal oiidiir,incoat maximum speed of S.oou knots. '1 ho hull Is built throughout of stool plates, and there aro over 125,000 rivets in It. Bv moans of steam ojoctlng apparatus In each com partment nnd tbe donkey nnd other pumps this littlo steal wondor should be able, to blow out a volume ot water equal to hor own bulk In ten uilnntos. so that sho can rondlly be kept afloat, even If badly injured. For 01 foetoitbo nuiidsblii length tho hull Is practically double, tho coal bunkors sheathing bor sldos to that extent. Abovo the water line tbe Cushlng wilt show only two conning towers and two smokostat'ks. A wbaleback runs from tho fnrwaid conning tonorto tho bow. Tho wholo deok Is of steel, nnd curved no as to deflect shot. Tho littlu wooden top hamper used on dock can bo read ily dotached upon clearing tbo ship for action.

Betweon these run tbo wator tubes of tho boiler, so bent ns tn ptesont tho greatest amount of honttng surface. Kaoh boiler has thirty-four feet of grata surface, 1.600 feet ot heating surface, and two m lies of steel tubing. The 11 ro rooms aioariauged on the closed stoko bold principle. They will be closed nearly air-tight, and an efllclent fan blower will force air down irom an opening in the dock.

Tbe main engines ore two sots of 5-oyllUilor quad ruple expansion engines of SOO-horse power, and'thero will be a total of twenty-eight Bteam cylinders on board. Tne high-prossuro cvlln ders nro 11 inches In diameter; the first in termediate 16 inches, second Intermediate 22 lnchas. and low pressure 22 Inches. The stroko Is IS Inches, and the cranks aro set bo as to givo tho loast vibration. The two main shafts aro 5H inchos In diameter, (il feet long, nro of forgod steol, and will carry twin pronollors of manganese bronze 4 feet 2 inches In diameter, with H feot pitch. A reducing vaivo will allow thn uso of direct steam nt starting. Tbe en gine will bo almost noiseless, and can easily bo reversed by ono man. It hns beon tested to three times tho tensile stmln required. Tho engine room will bo manned at ouch watch by two engineers, two oilers, and two wntot tend ers. Tho wator supply will be distilled from tbo eon. The conning towort nro of one-quarter inch steol. with doublo sliding doors, arranged so tbat one, if injured In notion, can bo substi tuted tor another. The towors aro lighted by bull's-eyes, and their domed tops maybe elo voted by screws so that four-inch clear space about tho horizon may be had. Both towors nro fitted with steering apparatus, engine room, telegraph, and vvltlivolco tubes connect ing the two towers. The command will bain tho forward towor until that is disabled, and will then bo transferred to tbo a tor tower, where ovory movemont made fioin tbo first has been dupllcatod by mocbanlcnl appliances. The lorwnrd tower has a steam tiller that will throw the helm from bard-n-port to hard-a-stnrboard tn three nnd ahalt seconds, or before the vosi-ol can travel her Innglh nt full speed. One englno may bo run at full spood nnd tho other revorsod at full speed. Tho rudder ropes ore of wile. Tho autnmobilo torpedoes will be fired at a spood of 40 foot por second, white the Cushlng is travelling 88 feet In tho sntno tlmo. They will be discharged by an explosive compound. Tho two bow torpedo tnbes nre placed undor the whaleback at an anulo ot 3 dogroos with tbo horizon. Thev are 14 feut long and 14 inches In diameter. The Cusblng will also carry other torr-edo tubos and rapid-lire guns mounted on deck. It is expected that tho vessol will bo venti lated when In action by connecting tbo com partments with the outor jacket of tho smoke stack. Tho deck lights aro so arranged tbat thoy may be darkened when In action at night. Tho ship will bo lighted by electricity. If tho prefent winter Is an opon one It is likely that the Cushlng will be launched before March, and will bo immediately subjected to her spood trials on Nurraganeett Bay.

The old Hew York printer who started Tub Bun as an adjnnot of his Impoverished Job offloo dlod on Saturday In this town. Bhhjamin H. Dat lived for more than half a century after this newspaper hod passed out of hla hands, but ho always read it, always followed Its fortunes with an amusing sort of fatherly Interest, and watched with feel ings half way between prldo and stupefac tion Its gradual dovelopmont Into Tnn Sun as It la to-day. Ben Day was In tho Held with Tub Bun two yoors before Bennett's- Herald, eight years beforo Giumlet'8 Tribune, and eighteen years beforo Baymond'b Times. Be was the pioneer of modern American Journalism i and his llfotlmo covers the wholo period of revolution and evolution. There Is still published In New York only one morning newspaper that existed when Dat worked off the first edition of Thu Sun on a small hand press capable of printing two hundred Impressions an hour. If any body la curious to see what tho morning newspapers of this city were llko In 1833. let him procuro a copy of to-day's Journal of Oommerce. Our venorable and estimable contemporary Is tho solo survivor of the class which tho Morning Chronicle and the Courier and JSViruirer led, with a circulation of from four to Ave thousand each; and It has ohanged very little during tho half cen tury that has elapsed. Tho curious thing about Ben Dat's enter prise Is that although Its success was to revolutionize the methods of American Jour nalism, ho had not tho faintest conception of the lmportanco of the Idea which ho had etruok. He had no theories and no mission. Els only purpose was to build up a business In posters and handbills. "For a long time," said Mr. Dat, o few years beforo his death, "the principal object of thonowspa per was to advertise my job office It did help mo In that way. When I got the print ing of the American Museum to do I thought myself so lucky that I rather neglected tho nowspaper." Ho was his own editor, pub lisher, reporter, compositor, pressman, and delivery clerk, A email devil was his only assistant. His nowpapcr establishment con sisted of a somewhat rlokety Job outfit in a twelve by sixteen room at 222 William stroet, Just north of whore Is now tho great nroh way under tho approach to tho Brooklyn Bridge. Ho had no capital and very llttio enthusiasm. His expenses wore nothing beyond his time and tho cost of white paper enough for a few hundred Buns. His re ceipts ranged at first from three to six dol lars a day. He scissored such news as ho could find in the established Journals and filled up tho rest of tho sheet with bogus ad vertisements. And yet there was more stuff in Day as an odltor than ho at first suspected; and, without knowing It, he was 1 tstrldo of a big Idea. Flvo years later his ridloulous llttio Sun bad a circulation greater than that of all the other New York news papers combined, and Day was able to soli out the establishment to Moses Y. Beaou for forty thousand dollars. Even the name of Bbhjamin H. Day is unfamiliar to many who talk knowingly of the early days of Bennett and Greeley, and yet to him and not to them are due three, of the most radical and Important In novations that have affeoted Journalism dur ing tho present century: 1. Ho led tho way In tho establishment of tho low-priced nowspaper. Tim Sun was sold for one cent at a tlmo whon all of tho othor Now York Journals cost six cents a copy. The penny nowspapor ex periment had been tried once or twico be fore his time, but nobody had made It go. Day's Immedlato success with Tub Sun was a death warning to the dull and heavy eldod old journalism that taxed Its renders bo heavily and gavo them so llttio In return. 2. Ho set a now standard of nows Interest. Wbatover may have been the intolloctual doflolonclos of tho founder of the ponny Bun, ho cherished a hearty contempt; for the then existing measures of news lmportanco, and ho went as quickly to the police courts half a blook away as to the Incoming clipper ships from Europe for matter likoly to In terest hie readers. Ho made The Bun a good local newspaper, as far as It went, nnd no othor editor in New York was doing that thing at that time. 8. Ho Invented t American newsboy. Up to hla time no papers woro sold In tho streets. The papers woro all dolivorod by carriers on regular routes and to regular subscribers. Day hired boys and sent them out to sell The Sun to anybody that wanted to buy it. The whole modern system of delivery to the public, in all of Its complex development, from tho urchin who sells ten copies to tho i groat news company that handles 60,000, is the outgrowth of Day's idea of tho way to teach tbo public. Tho llrst newsboy that I cvor sold a copy of Tub Sun In tho streets 1 of New York was a little shaver from Cork. I His name was Bernard Flaiieett, but he went upon tho stage and becamo rich and famous as Baiiney Williams. Examples of the first Issue of Tire Sun aro exceedingly rare. Possibly there aro not a dozen In existence. Every little whllo we get a letter from some kind friend offering to send us one, or Inquiring how much vie are willing to pay for one as a curiosity. What our friends possess Is not the original Issue of the first Sun, but an excellent copy I l In fao-elmlle. This too-elmtlo Is not at all fet fox ft few yeaweao wo printed anddla- txibutod trreral hundred thousand copies of It If anybody Is so fortunate as to possess a genuine first Stm, he can Identify it aa such by tho dato lino at the head of tho second page. Tho date there appears as Sept. 0, 1832, although In fact (ho first Sun was pnb llshed on Sept, 8, 1833. This typographical mlstako is corrected in tho fac-slmllo. Flfty-slx years ago this morning Mr. Day's Sun hod reached Its ninety-sixth number. It was a four-pago newspaper, ten and a halt Inches high by seven and a half wldeMho psgo being just about one-quarter aa largo as at present Tho llttio paper contains onough reading matter of all sorts to All two columns and a half of the present Sun. Yes terday morning Tnn Bun contained ono hundred and twonty-flvo columns of reading matter, Just about fifty times as much as Mr. Day gavo to his rondors. Tho contrast In quality Is as wonderful aa In quantity. Ono column In Tin: Bun of Deo. 23, 1883, Is occupied by James Mont ooumi'fl poem on Night Thon comes a story without much point called My Un clo's Wedding." There aro flvo Inches of European nows as contained in English papers up to Nov. 10. Thoro aro olght short Items of nows. Tho notorious E. K. Avert Is preaching again In Massachusetts. A man was run over by a hack In the Bowery and his arm was broken. Noxt "A murder was recently committed In tho western port of Pennsylvania bv a son on tho person of his father." Next a boy was killed by nn accident In a hair fac tory in Orange street Next soveral boys woro drowned In a pond at Btuyvesant Meadows on Saturday. "Wo did not learn their names," says Mr. Dat, "but bollovo that two of them wcro sons of a butcher In Fulton Market" Noxt o divorce granted by tho Circuit Court. Next a report from Mexico, discredited by Mr. Dat, that tho Government had seized Church property amounting to $108,000,000 with which to ex tinguish tho national dobt Next tho Ocean House, "near Long Branch Inlot," had been "swopt off Its foundations by tBo Hood, and at tho same tlmo every sand hill between Barnegat and Bandy Hook was levelled with tho ground." A col umn of pollco court notes doals delicately with a scandal Involving Mars Jane Rice, "the wife, pro tempore, of 'tho man wot Jumps Jim Crow." Tho rest of tho reading matter Is mado up of solootod passages of humor or moral philosophy. Tho Messrs. Harper, have published a now book. Pas sengers for Boston aro warnod by advertise ment not to pay their stago faro on board of the steamboat that goes as far as Provl donco. Mr. Power Is playing "The Irish Tutor" ot tho Park Theatro, and at tho Bowery "our worthy and much admired follow citizen, Mr. Forrest," Is taking tho part of Orrallooaea In the tragedy ot that name, the performance commencing at half past six o'clock. Such was tho early Sun, edited and pub lished by a man who died last Saturday. Ho bulldod better than he knew. The State Printing. It Is painful to notlco that thoro Is much distress in Mugwump circles because certain State printing has been taken from our es teemed contemporary, tho Albany Argue, and given to our cstoomed contemporary, the Albany Times. According to our amus ng friends, tho Mugwumps, hero is moro proof of tho essential wickedness of the Hon. Davis Bennett Hill, and in particu lar of his desire to give a fillip to the broad countenance ot an ex-Mayor of Buffalo. The Argus, wo are told, is an organ of Mr. Cleveland, and tho Albany Times is an organ of Mr. Hill, and hence the fattening of the Times and tho thinning of tho Argus aro evidences that Hill la punishing tho friends of Cleveland. But about the genial Chrlstmastldo it Is well to be genial and at all times It is neces sary and proper, it you are not a Mugwump, to have ordinary common sense. Now, tho Argus and tho Times are Democratic news papers, and thereforo they must bo the organs of Democracy, and not of Mr Cleveland or Mr. Hill or anybody elso' Be good enough to observe, moreover, that tho printing business In question amounts to very little, and tho Argus will not be ruined by losing it nor tho Times greatly enriched by gottlng it The Argus had had It for somowhero between seventy flvo and sovon hundred and fifty years, and might havo It for between sovonty-flvo and sevon hundred and fifty moro for all tho world in goneral cares or knows. At tho eamo time, rotation in oQiuo Is a sound Dem ocratic doctrine, and rotation in State con tracts Is a vise practice It Is in the Dem ocratic catechism that ono man is as good as another, and ought to havo as good a chanco. It is a fair corollary that ono Democratic newspaper has as good right to the prollts of official advertising as another Democratic nowBpopor. Tho Argus has had a feast Now tho Times comes In. But what has all this to do with Mr. Grover Cleveland and his fortunes Can patronago hurt or help that Illustrious child of dostlny? Is his strength to bo sought and found in patronago, in printing conuaots for his friends? An Equine Paradox. Alas for our contemporary of a lively criti cal tendency, tho Kansas City Times I It fol lows up Its recent discussion with The Sun, about making and playing violins, with another on trotting horses, and to tho saino disastrous end. See how It plunges In "Tin Sox committed ono error In earing that tho pedigree of Uaud fi. wae equal to Sand's In speed-sus-talnlng power. This la by no means correct. Sunol le much oloscr to thoroughbred linen than Maud B. tier dam wae Waxana aud Waxana'e dam wae pure thoroughbred." Perhaps the writer thought that Maud S. was Inferior to Bunol In that she never had a granddam on the maternal sldo. Such, however, was not tho cuso. Bho had ono whoso namo wns Sally Itussoll, and, like Waxana, sho was a thoroughbred; which leaves tho two Interesting animals under comparison just whero The Sun left them. But another hasty observation of our con temporuiy lends to anoint from which some really Interesting rclloctlons may nrlso: "Tint Hex calculates from the uariera and the rela tion between quartere and rnllee heretofore ehown br trottera nnd pacere that the two minute trotter rnuii ebow a quarter In about twentr-eight eeconJa The oil. eolation le Inirenloue, but bale I on a principle not veri fied. No account le taken of Improvement In capacity toeuilalnipeed. The trotting horee hae by no meana yet approached lie epeed euelalolng limit. Only lately the value of cloio thoroughbred crotaea baa been gener ally admitted. The difference, botween the top speed of the best trotter and tho rate which can bo sustained for a mile scorns to be about two seconds for tho quarter; and upon that understanding wo calculated the maximum spood Indicated for a two-minute trotter. Our contemporary says that with a greater infusion of thoroughbred blood Into tho trotter, the power to carry this speed over a groator distance will be In creased, and that therefore, tho dlfforenco botweou tho rate for u quarter and that for a mile will bo loss. We invite it to ponder upon the following very curious facts. Aa we have sold, the trotter of to-day, whose blood U still almost half "ooid," oan sustain foramllo aapeod leu by about two If seconds only to the quarter than It is capable of showing, when pressed to an extreme spurt Butwlththepurpls bloodod thorough bred runner tho difference la more than three BccondB. Tho record for a quarter under the saddle- la Mf. yet-tho fastest mile over run woo at the rato of 23 seconds, lacking a sixteenth, to tho quarter. Let tho Times and all other obsorvors of questions concerning tho horse, study that apparent paradox and soo what thay make of it An Kxtraordlnary Charge Aaalnst tho Illinois Supremo Court. In discussing tha verdlot In tho CnoNiN case the Chicago Tribune makes theso ex traordinary statements: "Of eontee lite eulemenu ot the lawyer for lb de fence that the record ewarme with error are not to ba Implicitly believed, nor aro Mot ot tha proteontlon that It le tree from It- It It probable then axa eome errora, enough to Juetlfy a highly teehnloal court In Ita own eyee for ordering a new trial and giving tho men a bow ebaneo for their llvoe. Tnla wae not dona with tba Anarehlata, whero tho Judges east to tha wind leme of the qalrka and qnlbblea which they or their predaooa lore had retorted to for the relief ot erlmlnala. Dot that detliloa waa unoontoloualy Inflaeneed by the preiture ot public opinion." This Isn painful and scnsatlonalstatement Bobbed of 1U crudo vorblngo, It amounts to an assertion that tho highost judlolal tri bunal of tho Stato ot Illinois Is sd dull Intel cotuolly, and so weak morally, that It "un consciously" subordinates tho solemn oaths of Its members, as well as tho professional nnd personal honor and conscience of tho men sitting upon its benoh, to tho insonsato, stupid, or bigoted clamor of partisans on ono sldo or another of causes that come beforo It These, too, aro causes that Involved tho livos nnd liberty of men. Tho assertion 1b tlm more shocking becauso the papor that rat-ues It although always a partisan, is ha bitually addtctod to instructing Judges in tholr duty, and becauso thoro Is no other paper In Illinois that opens its oolumns with moro recklcssnoss or loss responsibility to Billy concoctions about causes that aro un dergoing judicial Inquiry. Will the Judges of tho Supremo Court of Illinois be tamo and silent under this gross aspersion It is truo thoy aro poorly paid. They receive only (3,000 a year each; but are they expoctod to accept with this paltry sum tho slander implied In this assertion that they aro unconsciously" tho dupes and ao complicos of partisanship in the performance of their high and solemn duties? Post Office Rates for Washing. Is It true that John Wanamakeb surrep titiously runs a laundry in Philadelphia, and Is ashamed to havo the fact known If It Is truo, as we are informed, that the laundry at 1,829 Market street called Factory Thirteen Is In fact meroly one of tho numer ous ramlflcatloLS of tho bargain counter, wo tako pleasure In making known tho rates at which tho Postmaster-Goneral refreshes and puts a satin gloss on certain articles of soiled linen: Shirts each, .10 Haw and pleated ihlrta each, .Is Collar aacn. .03 Cnffs a pair, .Ot Llkowlso we cheerfully advertise tho Ad ministration tariff for certain ortlolea of "women's and family clothing:" Skirts each. .IS to ft 00 ChemlMS each. .10 to 33 Stockings. a pair, .04 Carteu- each.. 15 riUowihams. pair, .23 to 100 These prices strike us as very reasonable. But why should the trademark John Wan AMAKsn hcsltnto to connect his namo with this respectable and useful Industry Is there any ignominy, for instance. In washing a corset under his own name any moro than in advertising a corset for sale The Hon. Hamilton G. Ewart of tho Ninth Congress dfstrlot of North Carolina has Introduced into tbo Bouss a resolution provid ing for tho Investigation of the Civil Service Commission. The Uon. TnEODorts Roosxvelt. the most active and Interesting member of tho concern to be invostleated. says, Inafleot that the Com mission lones for investigation as the hart loncoth for the wator brooks. So tho Investigators and the lnvsstlcatod are of a mind, and there Is no reason whr the fun shonld not bagin as soon after the Christmas recess as possible But, If the Investigation Is as thorongh. searching, and vigorous as it ought to be. the Civil Service Commission will be as buoyant at tho end of It as a burst bladdor. Mr. Itooss vki.t U all right, but ha is a good man In a bad place. The sooner he is legislated out of office, tho better for him and tbe Oettor for the conn try. At present Ills energy is wastod. As lor another member of tho Commission, the MuBwumpo-Itenubllcan, Mr. Cmables Lt ii an. the in estimation mar discover about him somo things that ho would prefer undiscov ered. He Is a professional civil service re former, and not an amateur like Mr. Boose velt. In a quiet and unobtrusive way Mr. Lyman has been the bead of tho Commission for soma years, its teal beforo ho became its actual prosIJIng officer. We wonder It Mr. Ltmax Is as anxious to be Investigated as Mr. Boosevelt Is. But tbo record of the members of the Com mission Is of little importance. The thing for Congress to do Is to show and show up the workings of tbo .Mongolian system Us absurd ity. Its impracticability, its uselessness. If ovor mere was a numbuc ripe lor cricking.

A Kicknpoo Mayor and a Semlnolo majority In Council, which prevents him from appoint ing pollconion. might well cause a doadlock oven among a still more lmprovod order of red men.

A striking development during the present ses sion has been the Hood of petition pouring Into Congress to have tbe census show bow many paople own and occupy their homes and farms, how many ax tontnt,ead hw many of tbe former have their property mortgaged and lo what extent The numbering of the people has become only a small part of the work whloh the thirst for miscellaneous Information wonld deTolvo on the modem census. Tho Christmas vacation of Congress will give Its members plenty of tlm to consnlt their constituents about tba World's Fair. Tber will find that many millions of tbe people of this country want It to be hold right hero In New Tork. and that a great cart of tne rest who might for looal and personal reasons pre fer Chicago, 8t Louis, Washington, or Omaha, would maxo New York second choice. That New Tork is the great city of the continent and of the New World no one questions, and Its namo is known nil over the globe. It Is at onco national and cosmopolitan, and a meeting place that more than any othor will attract tho nations of tbo earth. These are suitable, vacation thoughts for Congressmen, and thoy should return to Wash ington on the 6th of January ready to make a prompt cholco ot tbe site.

Whon Stanley arrived ot tho south end of Vlotorla Nyonro ho found a largo number ot newspapor clippings giving a great deal of misinformation about his mission and move ments. Ho was doubtless surprised to learn that he was dead: that ho was a prisoner In tbe hands ot tho Mahdl; tbat he had deter mined to settlo the Soudan question, and wns marching on Khartoum: that ho bad sethlm solfupln business ns potontatoof a Control African kingdom tbat be wont to Afrloo to soouro tbo Uppor Nile country lor tho British East African Company; and. In short, that ho was ongagod In all sorts ot onterprlsos excopt that for which ho was ostensibly sent ont to carry sneoor to Emin Pasha. No wondor that these Interesting tld-blts ot European gossip slightly rufllod tho oxploror and led him to re mark In a letter that they showed "utter lack of common sonso and total disregard of ac curacy." In Its commonts upon tbo Stanley expedi tion Tue Sun took tho view from first to last that tho explorer went out to help Emin Pasha, and that when he had accomplished this work ho wonld, If he llvod, return home as soon as possible. The result shows that this position was correct Can it bo truo that Mr. Lewis Mobius is seriously thought of as a successor to Tennt bon as Foot Laureate There havo been somo pretty tough Poets Laureate and Mr. Lewis Mobius would not bo tho worst But if the Poet Laureato Is to earn his plpo of wine by being a poet Mr. Lewis Monms and Sir Edwin Aunold and pootastors of that degree cannot bo considered as candidates for tha job.

To tug Editob of The Sun .Sir; I am a little surprised to see from an, editorial artiola In this morning's Suit, entitled 'Soiio Civil Service Gems," that you do not know whet Ij meant by naming plaoaa "In rotation." The chU service examination question Is, "Koine In rotation the easltal towns of Franca Oor many. Rpaln nnssla. and Rwirsorland." Tbe meaning of this le plain enough.

Tha rjntelde of Alfred Ketssaar Kxplataexl aw tho Sevelattoa that He was Not the Author of Ills Berated Works. A groat literary scandal has boon spread recently befors tha public ot Austria and Ger many. A writer, hlthorto regarded aa third rata. Is destroying! tho good name of a dead poet, dramatist, and novelist, and one of tho most popular German writers of tho day. Franz Hedrlch Is claiming publicly that he wrote three-fourths of the novels which appeared over ths name ot Alfred Melssner, his bosom friend and almost constant companion for twenty-five roars, and Robert Arr, Melssner'a brother-in-law, who has tried to refute. Hod rtoh'selalmaadmlts that thoy are partially truo, and that fear of exposure drovo Melssner tc sulcldo at ths holght ot his famo. Alfred Melssnor was bora In Tepllta. Boko mis, in 1822. After finishing his education: he passed a wandering life In Austria, Oonpany. England, and Franoe. lie was a prolific writer of poems, dramas, novels, and sketches, which were widely read In Austria and Germany. lly the higher oritlcs bis poems and slays were regarded aa hla bost work, but amoflir tho peo ple generally ha was known ehjsflr through his novels, sevoral of which reached their twelfth edition. Franz Uedrloa, who was his confidential and trusted frlepd for a Quarter of a century, is a Dohomlan author of small reputation. Ills fathor was killed In tho stormr days of 1818. and after tko revolution tbo son was banlshod from his native land. Melssnor, who had become intlmpto with Hedrlch abont a rear before his baotsbmont. had lntorcodod lor him and bad glvea him financial alii, Four years ago, en May 21. 1883. Melssner cnt his throat, nnd on Mar 29 be died. Uulto recently a now edition of his complete works 5 as published, it had hurclly appeared whon edrich laid boro tho public-n pamphlet en titled "Alfred Melssnor Franz Hedrlch." in Sblch ho triad to proro tbat ho wrote most pt elsr-nsrti host known works, and that Melss ner took: Utepronts and the famo, after allow ing him a mlserabln pittance Tho pamphlet la full of solf-gloritlcation, nevertheless it con tnln a mass of irrefutably strong proof of the validity of Hodrleh'solalm. it Is a fact of no llttio slgnlHcanoo that it Is publlsbod by a highly reputable Arm who lor ton years woro Melssner s only publishors. "In Mnwh, 1851," wrltos Hodrieh, "ho (Moissnor) sent mo the manuscript of his latest tragedy, warbeck,' to be looked ovor and pol lfhod. It was a borrlblo bit of work, neither worthy nor capablo of Improvement. Not a single stono oould bs lelt npon another. I wrote him this, vot In rosponso to his Impor tunity 1 eventually docldod to comply with his wishoa and to work over the whole drams." Wheu Melssner rocelved the naw draft ot "Warbock" Irora Hedrlch bo wroto this uo knovlodgmont ot his friend's Bervlcos: Won derful, O porfeot artist I Did not people already knew I was writing Warbeck 1 would throw myself nt your feet nnd cry. 'So. that cannot be. Tako the work, it is yours. It bears on its face tho slgnaturo of the great master. I can not call It mine.'" "Warbock" subsequently tocame one of the most famous of Molssner's dramas, and was produced on many German stages as "The Froiender of York." Hedrlch explains how ho first happened to publish a novel ovor Molssner's namo. Ono of tho best publishers In Austria was so anxious to got hold of Molssner's book concorninc Heine tbat ho offered as a consideration to publish ony other work which Moissnor might prepare. Melssner was anxious to tako ad vantage of this olTor. bnt had no novel. Hod rich had a not el. lloth Hodrlch and MolsBnnr wonted money. So It hnpnoncd. says Hedrlch. that the novel "Botwuen l'rinco and People." of wblcb .Moissnor "did not wrlto a single line." was sent out Into tho world as Meixsnor's. Un der somen hat similar circumstances Melssnor published as his own. Hnnsara," "New Nobil ity," Ulock-Yellow," 'rChfldren of Home." rrinoess of Portugal." Norbert Norson." Ac. Hedrlch quotes this letter from Molssner con cerning Black-Yellow": "My dearest and best, wero It necessary tbat I should read mora from your pen to got a perfect Idea of your genius. I have had tho proof before me. I con say tbat slnco the Olh i havo been in a stato ot continuous amazemont at your gonlus. Espe cially the first chapter Is a triumph of mind and re8octlon which discover ways which none othor had seen. Grand 1 Grand I" Concornlng tho "Princess of Portugal" Hedriohsitys: There were no proof of mr authorship, had I not. warned br previous experiences, at the beginning ot tho last chapter woven In tho words 'Autor (author), Hedrloh.' so tbat tho singlo letters of these two words follow each othor In order at tbe commencement ot everr sentence or .phrase set off by punctuation marks." Hedrloh illustrates this point with tho following quotation trom the eighteenth chapter of tbo "Prlnoess of Portugal:" T'-m folgonden Tags wurde von Jerusalem Aufcebrooben, tnd dor Wea nach der tiyrl schon Kusto zu Pferds gemacbx 'lefrste Trauor, tlefrstes Mitlold mlt Arbogast's Sobick sal im llerzen.

'odete sle der Graf unter Llebkos ungen in Jaffa an. 'Cii welss os, erwldorte die Prin70ssln Aufsenfzend." Hedrlch gives an oxample of asimllortriok In Norbert Norson." He fnrthor fortifies his position with an abnnd ance of othor proof sim ilar to that described above. Ho estimates bis loss through his dealings with Melssner at $5U,0uu. Tho originals ot tho letters and other papers which ho cltoa in bis pamphlet nre in tbo hands of his publishers, Ho much for Hod rich's attack upon bis dead friend. Itobait Ayr's answer to Hedrlcb's pitiless on slaught is an unpretentious and very pathetlo little work of a few pages. It must be said tbat It does not refute Hedrloh's testimony. Never theless It Is calculatod to win a good deal of sympathy for, Melssner. Ayr claims that the dead novelist lent bis name only to one novel br Hedrlch. and then solely with a view to holplng his friend Uoanoially. For tbo most port bo lets Melssner toll bis own sod story. At OX o'clock In tbo morning of May 31. 1885, Ayr wassummonod from his bed to Molssner's room. Melssner lay blsodlng to death on his bed from a big gash In bis tbroat. I havo cut myself with a ra.or," ho gasped aa Arr entered. "I was so furious. I cannot llvo longer." A physician, who was railed at one. sewod up the voynd In Melssner'a throat and put blm to aleof). Ho atvoko In tne afternoon with strength enough to talk at length with Arr. "I bave dlsnotl." be said, "I bave compromised myself wfth Hedrlch." "My God I you haven't murdered him ("cried Ayr, who knew sometnina of tbe strained rela tions between tho formor friends. "No."answoied Melssnor,"! nave dono no murder; I havo never done any one barm In all my life. But I stand before a muskot. A man is hunting ma. a man to whom I have dona only good. It has boen going on for years. I can endure It no longer. I cannot light it out Tbirty-Qve years, ago we wore together In Traunklrchsn. We were good friends. Wo had the same ambitions. Ho had a keen mind: be bad now and then fine Ideas, but ha worked little and mado no progress. Wo confided In each other our literary plans, wo criticised them, we accepted or reiooted each other's suggestions as tbe cose mlgnt be. It was as It is wont to be with friends. I bad a mass or plans and Idoas for wblcb be found good use. I gavo mm tbo materials for 'Mo kagatna,' 'Clalron,' Ac, it was an alliance. Poor and forsakon he came to me. and I lioln ed him out or mr .limited means. When he was banished I Interceded for him nnd hla works, two of which I provided with a preface and published for blm. I did all I could. In return he purrosos to ruin me. Ho will sno mo. He throatons a com- Elalnt or something or tbe kind. He Is a terrl le man, accustomed to accomplish his pur poses wltb an Iron will, How could I koop him back? He was not satisfied wltb tbe largest sums of monoy. I cannot reduoo tho property of my children. Blnce I was In Davos with mr wife ho Ims been at me, There 1 received a letter from him In Monaco to the effoct thai ho had given me mr Ideas, that ho was tbo originator of my works, and that be would reveal all to tbe world. now can I now after so many years prove what Is his and what Is mlno? I must produco proofs. I cannot do It now. I am tired. I oannot endnro tbe struggle." After relating how hard be worked to write several novels which Hedrlch wns claiming as his own. Melssner explained that be bad Tent bis name to ono of Hedrlcb's novels, so as to faollltato lis sale. Hedrlch tried bis band, Melssner said, at Improving Norbert Norson.' but hit work wa worthless and was subse quently cut out When Norbort Norson was completed. MeUanorsald that Hodrlch told hlrn: Nowlhatogot you In my grip" Do yoti know what his words to me ware?" cried tbe buntmi man. raising himself in bed before Ayr. "Thoy were: 'You know I hove Sn unswerving mind and an Iron will. Your ooks must become my books; our monoy mr money.' Yon see. I had to die. for my chlldron should not lose their property. 1 cannot light stout; I am tired to death. Bolt Is como." And so It did come, for nine days Inter tho 2 poor, bunted man died as -bo had wished to le. It is little shon of profanation to iilaco eiwoon the same covere with theso pathetlo words tho btatement that Hedrlch box swin dled his mother-in-law. Ayr does It, hnwoter, 6nd odds tbat the unscrupulous Bohemian as also spent all his wife's money. Ayr's pamphlet has excited unbounded pltr for Melssner and a corresponding Inclination to regard Hedrlch as a perfldiousiriend. It Is generally regarded on the Continent, however, as an entirely inadequate answer to the docu ments in the bands of Hedrlcb's publishers. Tho effect of the whole scandal has been fftlfl' desorlbed thus by a German weokly; The name of Alfred Melssner must bo erased rom our literature's scroll of bonor. Franz lodrich errs, however. If he thinks he may writs his in the empty place." Edticalloaal Toys, "I saw a nice variation of tho old Noah's Ark Idea In a toy sues yesterday."

It now appears that four persons Instead of ono were injured on Friday night in tbe acci dent on tho Brooklyn Bridge. Ono of tbo victims, a girl of 18, Miss Marr Preston, wns seen yesterday by a Hun reporter at ber homo. 331 South Fourth stroot, Wllllamsburgb. Bho bad been confined to ber bod slnco tbo nccl dont, and she was sitting up for the first tlmo yesterday. Hor loft oyo was discolored and ber oheek swollon. Her loft shoulder blodo. her loft knea cop. and ber baok are badly bruised. Her physician. Dr. Eden, says sho is injured internally also. Everr movement caused hor pain yesterday. Miss Preston Is emplorod at Denlg Grant's blndorr In Duaue street She said It was the first time she had ever used tho bridge ears to get home. She did so because the Roosevelt stroet ferrr boats, which she conorally took, had stopped running on account of the tog. "Mr frlond. Miss Nolllo Pullln of Clrmer street, and I waltod a long time in line before we could got on a bridge train. I sat in tho seventh or eighth seat on the left-hand side ot the third car. There were four cars In tho train. Our train ran into one ahead. In a moment all woro thrown on tholr faces. A gentleman roadlng a newspaper stood in front of me. I think be and some others raui havo fallen over mo. Altor I was tbrown down br tbn shook I felt n lot of people tramp orourf me. No one trod nn me that I know of. I was badly hurt and dazed, but when I hoard some one say there was another train coming to run into us I crawled to my feet In tho crush and got out of the car to the roadway. Then I hur ried down to the stroet Miss Pullln kept sor ing: 'I told you not to como over the bridge.' I don't know bow I ever reached the car tbat took me home; Iwas In such pain thatoverr stnp I took almost made me scroam." Mrs. Preston said ber daughter would bo un ablo to go to work lor a long time. She lost her umbrella and ber pockotbook on tbo train, and bat for the kindness ot tho surfaoo car con ductor she would bave had to walk home. Miss Pullln 's lniurlos aro sold to be almost as severe as Miss Preston's. The lattor says sho is suro a ohlld was hurt, and thU, with tho spraining ot Grlpmnn Poners's ankle, makes four that wore injured In tho collision. It was learnod yesterday that tbo accident was caused br tbo brooking of the link of the second car that cocnectod an empty four-car train, just as the englno began to switch it from the Brooklyn platform. Beforo the en glneoould back np again, asocond train nearly struck tho last car, and it was tbe third train tbat did the damage by striking the last car of the second train. VNEQVAL TO TUB TE3T. Why a tVaabtoston Qlrl Oave np Ber BtroBKle aa a Probationer. from tae iraillnoton Capital Quite a sensation was created last week la one ot tho largest churchos in this oltr over the resignation ot a newly converted young ladr membor. There waa nothing startling about tbe fact of a young lady signifying hor inten tion toiolnunoiherchurob. In the wording ot tho resignation, however, tho lady stated that as she was a now convert she was afraid she would not bo nblo to stund tho se ere tests that were forced upon hor by members of the church. It Is needless to say thattheso remarks brought about an Investigation, which disclosed some peculiar Ideas about testing tho faith of soma of tho members on tha probation list. It seems that one ot the good doacons was pleading with hor about tbo welfare of her soul and her future in general. Tbe young lady was very nitenthoto what tho good man was suylng; heroics lonkod trustingly up to IiIh, her lips wpio patted in a tomptlug manner, far too tempting for tho deacon, who, unlike Ht Anthony, oould not withstand tho temptation of kissing her, much to hor surprfo and dis may. When the deacon saw tbn ofToct his ac tions had upon ber, bo made a bold front of it, and told her what ho bad done was ono of ths trials sbo would bao to umlorgo, and doubt less ho would nave succcodod in making her bellove Ids story had she notcontldod In a friend," who advised hor to roslgn. What really will happen to tho poor deacon Is bard to tell. It will bo safe lo say, however, that ho will not be opt to recline upon o bed of roses, as there Is a wife to bo hoard from, and ther say she has blood In her eye.

SX-Jt tho armorclad Texas, tho work ot a professional designer, William John, proved a stumbling blook to bureau chiefs, what wonder that the same ahonld be true of the seml-submerglng monitor planned by an amateur designer, John Thomas? The question about tho battle ship of the Barrow-in-Furness expert was whether she would float: tbo Question about the cruising monitor designed by tho Illinois Congressman Is whether sho can keep out the projtotiles ot an adversary. A now planned, th prlnoipal protootion ot the semi-submerging monitor consist of ft ourved steel deok, or tnrtlo back, having a tbicknoss ot 3 inches on the orown. whloh in creases to 4 or 6 on tho sides. Considering that high-power guns ot medium oallbre can penetrabi auch a thickness, some exports de sire to lnorease the armor on the side to nine incho. For this additional weight, greater dis placement would of course be necessary, and this In turn could only b seourod by Increasing ibo length of tbo ship. Another suggestion mado by the Bureau of Ordnance is that tho vessel should carry heavier gun than those now con templated, and this Increase, of weight would also require additional displacement and ad ditional length. 'Iho subjeot came up, when tbe plans and specifications bad been already completed on the original design of Congress man J. It Thomns, and tho department was iust ready to call lor bids for, constructing tho vessel. Of courso a check wan given to progress in that direction until a con clusion should bo reached upon tho proposed modifications. The maximum increase of length reiiured for all tho proposed additions of weight would be about thirty feot. The in creaso for heavier armor alono would be at tho minimum about fifteen foot, and a compromise in tho various obanges might requite sixteen or elgbtoen foot Tho Bureau ot Construction Is tncllnod to insist on the original length, and consequently on the original armor, .and. of course. Congressman Thomas is also doslrous to have uIb original plan carried out without serious modification. As llrst proposed the newvoseel'wBA to be 233 feet long, 63 feot otremoAui, and UH moan draught. and to bao a displacement ot about 3.0J0 tons. The typo is that of tho monitor, including, of course, ttsdistlnctlvo foaturo ot tholowlroeboard. Being deslgued tor acrulsor, sho Is to have poworful ouglnos. showing a col lective borso power ol 7,500. which would be expeotod to develop a maximum speed of 17 knots. This would bo oqunl to what Is looked for from tbo Maine and the Toxas, armorclads of more than twlco hor displacement and even from the new 7,600-ton battle ship. Her coal suoolr would be 650 tons, and at the ordinary cruising speod of 10 knots an hour this would last fully a mouth, thus mak ing her onnl endurunoo all that could be rea sonably desired, tor n battery she was ex pected to carry two 10-Inch rtUes, mounted In a tornard turret, covered by ton Inches of solid steel armor. The protective deck, as has al ready been Intlmntod, curves from the mlddlo llDooNho ship to tho sides, and Is greatly strengthened by a remarkable nrrnngomont of clrderB. It is partly this fact which has caused the Construction Bureau and Congressman 1 nomas to lnulst on tbo original plans. Originally a C-Inch rapid-tiro gun. a 15-Inch pnoumatlo torpedo tube, and two submarine torpedo tubes wore proposed as additions to her battery; but perhaps as the pneumatlo gunshno never yet been llred aboard sblD, nnd tho provision for one 03 tbe coast defence vessel now building at Ban Franclsto has boon strickon out. It may also disappear from tbo Thomas monitor. Howovor, this point need not be Immediately doclded. slnco before an agreement can be teacbed about the armor, a E roper trial of tho guns ot tho Vesuvius may ao beon socured The characteristic feature of tho original design Is ot course that of sink ing hor lowar In tbo water in order that sho may present a smaller target to tbe enemy. This Is offeoted by a series of pumps nnd tanks, wblcb enable her to take In water, so as to in crease her draught by three feet in tlmo of no tion. This point should also not be torgotton In relation to tbe armor neoded. Whon Congressman Thomas first proposed this plan last jour it wax favorably reported npon by tbe bureau cblatBwho examlnod it, namely, Mehllle, Wilson. Bloard. and Bchiey. It now. accordingly, one or more ot those bureau chief should suggest alterations, presumably It would not bo with any ptirposo of dofoatlng tho project of building the vessel in some form. Tho House Naval Commlttoe. ot which Mr. Thomas was a membor.were naturally enthus iasts oer bis sucoess, and caused tho llbernl appropriation of (1,500.000 to be inserted in tbe Appropriation bill for her con struction. The Bonnto,. after an adverse speech from Mr. Chandler, who. although a brother Itopublican. had loss admiration tor tho abilities ot Mr. Thomas as a naval archi tect, amended the proposal ot the House, llrst by demanding a speed of nlnetoen knots in stead of seventeen, and then by striking out tbo name of Mr. Thomas. In conference, how ever, the former amendment was rejected as impracticable., while tbe latter wa- agreed to. After tbo experience gained with tbo coast do fence vessel, which has just bad to have Its plans altered, and consequently tbo contrast with tbo Union Iron Works, tbo need of being perfectly sure about this much greater novelty in construction Is obvious. The 'experience of the Texns is an additional warning. Dou btloss tho somi-Bubmerglua monitor will be built since the views which caused Its origi nal recommendation by the bureau chlofs still exist But as to whether the original plans can bo Improved there is still evidently Bomo doubt, nnd It may not be cleared up lor weeks or months to come.

As tbo published ippool to the stockholders diplomatically oxplatns, "it would givo greater stability to the reorgan ized company If a managoment committed to the successful working oht ot tho plan of reor ganization, and absolutely In tho Interest of tbe property, oonld be secured for eovoral years." This means, I suppose, that unless tbe stock be so looked up that a majority of it cannot bo bought ot any price, there is dangor that tho dlreotion ot the company may pass Into tho hands ot somo person or persons who would manage it to tbe dotrlmont of tho other etockholders, and possibly to that of tho bond holders. Tho enemy most particularly dreaded is said to bo Mr. Joy Gould, but thero aro othera besides him who might do mischief, and the precautions to be taken aro directed against all of them at onco. From what I hear there is considerable prob ability of tbo success of the bankers' appeal In tbls instanoo, and thnt enough of tho stock of tbo Atchison Company will bo plaoed In tholr keeping to give them the power they desire. I hovo no personal Interest in tbo mnttor ono way or anothor. rot as a good Democrat zeal ous tor tho porpetuotlon and success of repub lican Institutions, I cannot help feeling regret at this fresh manifestation ot a willingness in our pooplo, nlready too markod. to exchango their liberty for security rathor than to keep it at the cost of that eternal vlgllanco by which alone liberty can be preserved. In one of iEsnp's fables wo are told bow the horse, In order to overcome his enomy, the stag, sought tho assistance of man, and suffered him to put a bridle and snddle on him for the better accomplishment ot his designs. The stag was defoated in due time, but the horso remained the servant of the master who bad temporarily served him. Commenting on this fable, the poet Horace, as If by anticipation, re marks: "This is tho caBoot blm who, dread ing poverty, parts with that invaluable jowel, liberty. Llko a wretch that he Is, bo will always be subject to a tyrant ot some sort or other, und bo a slnvo forovor because his avaricious spirit knew not how to be contented with that moderate enmpetonco which ho might have possessed independent of all tbe world." Tho stockholders of tbe Atchison Company, who, like tbo horse, allow themselves to bo saddled und brldlod for tbe sake of defeating Mr. Jay Gould or some other person like blm, may And too late that they havo put their property into tho hands ot masters who will keep th power Intrusted to them with a Arm grip, and use it in an uncomfortable way. I know It will bo sold that invostments ar mado in railroad as In other stocks for tbe sole purpose of pecuniary profit and that any measure which conduces to tbls end is not only justifiable, but necessary. If, under an oli garchy, or even a dictatorship, a corporation can earn mcro monoy and pay larger dividends than it can under democratlo rule, the corpo rators not only may, but ought to, prefer the more remunerative form of government Tnl is the argument always used to justify the overthrow of republics.- I remember vory well that in Paris, in December, 1851, when Louis Napoleon mado his famous roup d'itat. the whole shop-keeping population were all ready for tbo holiday trade, and rather than lose tbe sale of tholr goods, which they would havo to 'do It they resisted the usurper, they meekly acquiesced in his usurpation. To tho rest of France was likewise offered the oholos between peace with oommerolol prosperity under the new rule and a general Interruption ot indus try by the turmoil which would result from opposing it. We all know what followed. France, for a while, enjoyed immunity from political disturbance and waxed rich and luxurious. But with riobes and lux ury como corruption nnd consequent weakness, and when, in 1870, the Emperor pitted his strength against that of Gormany, the edlfloe be had beon so skilfully rearing for nlnetoen years was found to be rotten from top to bottom. Of course. It will be said that if Ger many had not been under a llko despotism she would not have Deaten Franoe, but the answer to this Is that Germany paid as dearly for its vlatory as Franco did for its years of peace, though In a different way. Llko tbo stag in tbe fable, It triumphed over Its neighbor at tbo expenie of Its own liberty, as France had bought peace and mntorial prosperity with corruption and dishonor. During tbe great railroad strikes of 1877 I happened to be at Saratoga Springs, going about among the crowd of rioh and idle people who congregate overy summer at that luxurious resort. Tbo strikes not only threat ened to diminish tho incomes of those who owned largely of railroad property, but what wob more immediately dlsagreoable, they In terrupted railroad communication, and put pleasure travellers to exceeding inconven ience. What chiefly impressed me on that oc casion was the unanimity with which every body clamored for a national police to suppress the strikes and to prevent their recurrence, re gardless of tbo fact that a polioa sullloiont for the purpose would, In effect, bo a standing army powerful enough In the hands ot an un scrupulous Executive to overthrow tbe repub lic and convert It Into a monarchy. Tbo treat French novelist Balzac, some where remarks that thero Is an age at which men get tired of being honest and women of being virtuous, and when that age arrives they surprise tbe world by unexpected acta of dis honesty or of sin. So, In social and political history, there seem to be epoobs in whloh peo ple In general become weary of the efforts necessary to maintain a vigorous freedom, and prefer to surrender themselves to the control of one, or, at most of a tow energetlo men, who will take the task of covornment off their bands. Perhaps tbls a necessary result ot tbe constitution ot human nature, and cannot b avoided. Men's mind, like many other things in the world, swing from one extreme to another, and we are prone to fly from tbe Ills thnt uflllct us toothers that we know not of. Ever slncu the war, or lor a quarter of a cen tury, the riches of tho country have been accu mulating, until, with a very great number of men, tbe problem of life has become not how to get more, but now to Keep wnai iney nave ana derive an income from It without anxiety and without exertion. Henc a readiness on tbe part of Investors to go Into blind pools like that whloh Mr. Tlllard formed not many year ago, or to bay the stocks of corporation about which they know nothing except that thy par com fortable dividend, and particularly to Invest in trusts, which, as th Atchison Company is Ilksly to br, nre controlled by men who make no report and glv no Information ot tbe con dition ot th property whloh they manage. Th pendulum mutt, I fear, go on wlnglng In this dlreotion until It set to It limit and than tbtro will b a reaction, Aj to thoAtonUoa stockholders, thoy will, ot course, act a seems best to themselves, without regard to the opinions ot outsiders like me, and I shall await tholr decision as a more matter of curi osity, I shall also bo curious to see whether th publlo la general will approve th proposed trusteeing ot Atchison stock by paring as much for th trustees' certificates a It is now pay ing for tho free shares.

Tbo contestants were John Lawlor, champion of Ireland, and ex-Alderman James Dunn against Bernard McQuado, Gotham's favotlte nnd champion, and Phil Casey, ohamplon ot the world. The accommodations at the Brooklyn establish ment are conceded to bo among the best that have over been provided at a hand ball court, but bad there beon a double quantity of room tt would not havo boon sufficient to have held tho spectators who wantod to see the match. It was the first appearance of tbe Irlrh cham pion for some threo weeks, but his lay off did not seem to affect his playing a bit. lie was finely supported by ox-Alderman Dunn, but It was the masterly all-round work ot the Invin cible Casey, nnd tbe material aid he received from the old war horse of the metropolis, that told In tbe end. The first gnmo was a se vere one and botly contested. Hard und cfTeo tive service nnd nil-round play wus tbe rule, there being but few misses. It was anybody's game until Uasoy and partner mado tbe win ning ace. Thero was not a lot up In tho second game. It was hard play from start to finish, nnd Law lor and Dunn were tbe victors. The third and deciding gnmo proved to be the most exciting of tho match. Every one of the quartet was on his mettle, and the result was one ot tho most brilliant games that has been played In tbls vicinity for some time. Casey and partner first managed to win by an aco. A single game was subsequently played by McQuude and Dunn, and this furnished more amusement. Again did tho llrooklyuite lower tbe colors of Now York's champion, tbo score being 21 to 18.

The) 3eneral Market Bather Qotot. Bat Usee Iloroca Ara lllish, The gonoroi horeo market might bo brlskor than It Is at present, but dealers say that thoro Is always a falling off In the trade at this season ot the rear. Matched pairs ofenninco horses continue to be the most sought after, and a good-looking pair of high stoppers that are sound in overy way will always command a good figure In Gotham. Haoe horses aro selling at sky-high prices, as any one wbo read the account of the Dwyor Brothers' sole in The Sun of yesterday will agree. Twenty-one head changod hands for $13,950. an avorneo of ovor (3,000 eaoh. Good saddlers aro marketable property at almost any season of the your, and particularly this, whou the riding season Is at Us height A Kentucky bred saddler that goes all the galta may be seen at Ward's stables, 261 West Eloventh street. With a view to glvlne their patrons every oppor tunity of becoming finished equestrians, the proprietors of the Central Park Biding Acade my have scoured the services of Prof. ILL.De Busslgny, whoso success both in America and ubroad Is too well known to need comment. Messrs. Wllmurt t Jarvls report business as being lively at tholr Harlem Horse and Car riage Ezobange, and say that they have full hou-es every Monday, when tbey held their regularly weekly sale. Messrs. Van Tassoll k Kearnoy's sales, on Tuesday and Friday of each week, aro always attendod by large throngs. Thousands of horses and carriages aro sold by thla reliable firm every month. A batoh of twenty verr Rood animals was disposed of at auotlon at the American Horse Exehango Wodnesday, and tbe private sales have been as brisk as the season of tho year would warrant. The establishment of tbe Exchange at fiftieth street and Broadway is one of tbo largest In the United States, yet it Is all too small, according to Mr. Oswald Baynes, to oocommodate tbe stock tbey might carry with advantage. Tbe oovered area In which the horses are exercised and ex biblted would awaken tho envy ota teacher of riding. Tbe following nre standard Quotations In the market: Pairs of well-matobod carriage horses, $1,000 to S1.650; cood-goltail haddle horses. $100 to $1,000; oalre of truokers or express horses, $ti75 to $J00 good drivers, $350 to $760 1 business horses, $176 to $300, and stroetets, $125to150. If In thtugs material faith Is always reward ed, there will yet be some very One sleighing, lutlging from the sale ot sleighs aud slelch equipments roported by the carriage dealers. There Is. however, a stronger demand for heavy winter carriages, especially of tho brougham variety. Messrs. Flandrau a Co.. of 372-6 Brooms street, have had good sales ot vohloles. both wheeled and on runners, tbe past week. A pleasing attraction lu front ot tbe main en trance to tbelr warerooms Is a tiny cutter fin ished in orimson plush, with red horse-balr plumes, suitable for two fairies driving fleeoy clouds, one would think. But Mr. 8. O. Keyes states that It has been sold for actual service, to be drawn by Shetland ponies and to oarry a little master and miss whose father Is a millionaire. "One of tbo most per fectly finished brougbams ovor made In this city and Jflandrau t'o. pride themselvos on tbo perfect finish ot their goods is of black and ollvegreon, mounted on J springs, and trimmed Insldo with born. It has just beon eold to tho Hon. J. J. Bolden of Syracuse, to be used by blm in bis establishment at Washing ton during tne uongressionai session.

Thoy are receiving large orders for their new style buggies, and are having a good export trade. Iso bettor evidence of their success le needed than tho simple announcement that on Jan. 15 they remove tnelr headquarters to what is undoubtedly one ot tho finest repositories ot tbls trade in New York. Tbo now establish ment is at 151-153 Bouth Fifth avenuo.and stretches entirely through the block to79-Hl woostor street. Mr. E. J. Smith says that this fs a good season to make purchases, because prices will be redueed on all pleasure vehicles and business wagons prior to the removal. Tuere are twonty light and heavy delivery wagons, and ten second-hand top wakens, which mar be called bargains.

Tbls company olalms to sell cartlagos. harness, and blankots at lower prices than tbose of any other dealers In the city. The Now York Wagon Company, nt 585 Hud son street, has a hundred splendid business wagons to select irom. There is no macblno work done on tholr goods, and ovory bit of the material Is carefully selootod and can safely bo guaranteed. The Hudson Woeon Company, which has been established since IttliO, has u shining array of flulnhed and perfect work nt their dis play rooms. M2 Hudson street. A handsomely painted wagon with the owner's name In colors by an artist is a sufilolent excuse for pride. In Mr. W. n.

'1 ho approach of Christmas has made the sales of bells, plumes, robes, oliimes, whips, and other knlokknaoks especially brisk. John Moore s salesroom aro well patronized, his etoek of lap robes and blankets being most elaborate and gorgeous. Itisun education lu stab e oquliiments to go through the rooms on the dlQerent floors of bis place at 53-0 Warren stroot, and to talk with the pleasant proprietor. Probably no regular dealer has had bo many women to look at bis stock as have drifted lu and out the harness department of It. II, Macy A Co., Sixth avenuo.and Fourteenth street. This room is on the third floor, rear, and every quotation of prices shows tbn well-known bur' Sato spirit which has made tblsfgreat firm what Is. A blanket oan be bad for $3.41. and iiclngle -?.rPSS5,il,r.7,8;ii butthey hove harness worth $119.09. The assortment of whips Is beautiful, espeolally thoso for equestrians. In b8 line of blanket, robes, plumes, and sleigh bells they are excellent. Borne of tbo rlohly-headed sad dles are worth looking at as curiosities, thoiit-h most folks would prefer. for steady use their more modest, but no less enduring plain saddles.

Now that tho Now Jersey Jockey Club meeting Is ovor and tho trouble between the Amerlcnn and Now York Jockoy Clubs boon ad justed, tho raclug world has sottlod down Into a steady oasy-golng groove, and everything should go smoothly next year. Clifton and Guttenbtirg can now raoe on si tomato days until April 16. nnd garner enough Bhekelstomake up for the ten days concoded to the Now Jorsoy Jockoy Club. Both organl. zations purpose giving gala programmss on Cbristmas nnd New Year's, and with tbe be.t horses In training engaged thero should b large crowds at both tracks. If tho weather becomes at all settled, and continues as mild as II has been for tbe past few days, fast tlm will be made and good racing may bo seen la New Jersey In January. PoodIo are so busy nowadays with racing every day that little or no attention has been given to the yearlings that will do battle next year as two-yoar-olds. Evory other yoar by this time rumors of wonderful trials In Ken tucky, at Monmouth, SheoDShead, Jerome, and Oravesend were plenty, but so far there has been llttlo or nothing of Interest to noto re garding tbo speed of the youngsters. The yearlings thnt have been sent by Marcus Daly of Montana to Matt Byrnos nt Monmouth Park to train for noxt year's campaign are undoubt edly tho property of J. B. Ilaggla Byrnes is Mr. Hagfln's trainor, and Mr. Daly la the superintendent of Mr. Hoggin's Anaconda mine. Senator Hearst should be very strong with his th reo-year-olds next year. A good many persons are of the opinion that the Dwyers have gre.ntly weakened tbelr stable by disposing ot such breadwinners as Ford ham. Kenwood. Taviston. Merlden. and Ore gon, but who wouldn't Bell when suoh prices as the Brooklyn brothers got for their stock on Saturday can be realized Fordham was a useful horse, and won many thousands of dol lars for bis ownore, both as a two. tbree. and 0.llJ?e'";i?la but he was not worth moro than $5,000 to tbem, and they were wise in letting "r him go. Tbe same may be said of almost every other horse sold. They still haven large string. and with Kingston, Hanover.
