LINCOLN , Nov. 3. )
The political shoots In the local nnd state
canvass are turning all sorts of sharp angles.
It Is glvdn out colil that railroad strikes will
paste Attorney General Loose's name down
at the polls , and unless there Is a sudden
change In the bent of hirelings and boodtors ,
cutting nnd Mashing will bo the order on
next Tuesday nnd these Is no telling whore
It may end. As yet whatever has been done
against Hie hltorneygoneral has been done
In a quiet way , but it Is said that the fights
will bo open nnd direct on and after Monday.
Letters ndvising General Lceso of the in
tended onslaught have been received front
Grand Island , Heatrieo , Fremont , Columbus
and other quarters and their signatures nro
suflloloiit to guarantee that the railroads of
the state will nmko a concerted fight against
him at the polls.
The attorney general was visited this
morning by u prominent republican of this
city who stated thai ho had Just received an
annual pass over thu Burlington for himself
nnd wife , nnd when asked what it
meant received the startling reply that his
vote and influence was wanted lo help to de
feat Lecse. This gentleman evidently be-
lloves In foraging oil the enemy , for he still
holds the evidence of Iho Intended bribe. Information -
formation has also been gleaned that trans
portation homo has been furnished to every
absent voter that could bo located by Iho
roads or Ihclr emissaries.
U Is also staled that Colonel Harry Phil
lips Is nt work with the Htatu militia , and
that this vote Is to bo turned to the count of
the roads und corporations in tlm nefarious
scheme to defeat tlm atloruoy general. Some
of the members of the stale central commit
tee are n part and parrel to the treacherous
deal. The rotten loaf has been leavened In
every possible way. A dyed-in-the-wood
democrat said to Web Eaton last night :
"You fellows think that McShnno is after
' . I toll ho don't
Tbayor's scalp. you care a
snap about the governor's choir. Ho Is after
bigger game. Ho had rather defeat
Leeso than bo governor of Nebraska ,
Loeso Is iho only man on the repub
lican state ticket In danger. Hut
look out for n democratic legislature. The
result will tell you that I guess awful hard.
The democrats are going lo make a bigger
legislative galnlhun any of you imagine. . "
McShnno sponl lasl night in Iho Capital
City. The object of his last-day visit has
doubtless been to strengthen his working
forces al the polls. 1 lo was too wily lo bo
drawn out by reporteis. Hut It ia sufficient
to know that ho passed a sleepless night with
his most Irustcd lieutenants , und rustled
hero und tlioro during the morning hours.
His deal with the. News did him no earthly
good , II rather did him harm. Governor
Tltnycr will poll the party vote of Lancaster
county , or no nearly it that his maligncrs will
certainly fuel like crawling into their holes.
Sllll II remains lo bo proven whether or not
Tammany schemes willwoik in the cities
and rural districts of republican Nebraska
A Bti > AND HUIIIIRX IIIATII. :
The news announcing the death of Charles
E. Uoot was received with profound sorrow
throughout the entire city ihis morning. Ho
was quite well known hero and Very highly
esteemed. During the past two years ho
has been on the State Journal rcportorial
staff and was regarded as ono of Us best and
most versatile writers. Ho was n gentleman
In the truest sense of tbo word. His lifo was
clean and pure. Ho graduated from Hills-
dnlo college , Michigan , five years ago , and
v since then has devoted his limo and talents to
his chosen profession , that of journalism , and
the future reaching out before him was very
bright. His llrsl professional work was done
on the Patriot , at Jackson , Mich. , where
ho devoted himself so rigidly to his
profession that his health was seriously
undermined. After n few months of
travel and rcsl ho located in Lincoln , where
ho has since lived. Ho was taken down with
typhoid fever a few weeks ngo , but the first
of the week It was announced thai he was on
the road to health , nnd his ft lends were illy
prepared for the chnngo that set Iho seal ol
death. The fever loft him in an exhausted
condition und ho could not rally from the
hemorrhage of Iho bowels lliat attacked him
yoslcrday morning ; Surrounded by family
friends and the best physicians , ho closed his
eyes In the final sleep last night at 0:15. : The
Interment will take place at Wyuka cemetery
on Monday noxt.

The following loiter was today addressed
to the Call :
LINCOLN , Nob. , Nov. 3. To the Editor ol
the Call : I perceive that ono of your worsl
charges against Governor Ttm.ver is based
upon what you torn Thoyer's shameless par
dons. You refer especially to the two met )
sentenced for causing the death of the
woman Booth , and the woman Facade , ant
you say : "Tho motive lurking in Ihoso Uvc
pardons , and in tbo pardons In general , art
known by the pcoplo where the pardons an
known. " As a matter of common Justice tx
Governor Tlmyor , I beg you will permit mete
to say thai the pardon of the man who was
the unfortunulo cuuso of the death at the
woman Focndo was granted nt tlto urgent re
quest of Hon. John Fitzgerald and myself
Sir. Fitzgerald aud I fully investigated thi
case and found that the ovldenco and fmiwrt
ant facts that cumo to light after the trm
went to show beyond doubt thnt the shoollnt
was accidental , and it was only uftc :
the closest scrutiny of all the facts of tin
case , und after having received tbo vcr ;
strongest recommendations from Hon. Judgi
Pound , who sentenced the prisoner , and fron
the attorneys who prosecuted In the case
that Governor Thayer consented to granl i
pardon. I have no hesitation la saying tlm
In my opinion there never was a moro ilttlni
Base for Iho exercise of cxoculiva clemency
Knd as to the motives attributed to the gov
rnor of catering for votes , I have only li
say that under any circumstances ho wouli
have been certain to receive my vote , whll
under no circumstance could ho expect th
rote of Mr. John Fitzgerald. Yours truly ,

Hon. H. C. Lett , of Denver , Colo. ,
was In Lincoln last night. Ho left on the
afternoon train for Falls City and Brown-
ville , where ho has a legion of friends who
will be glad to see him. Mr. Loot , although
a strong democrat , concedes his state to the
republicans , or , rather , n major portion of

Bane Ball Affairs.
The Omaha base ball management have
completed negotiations with Hrooklyn for
the sale of Pitcher Lovett for $3,500. Yes
terday they received u letter from this over
rated twlrler demanding one-half of the pur
chase money. Ho was promptly nnd properly
notified that ho woulil not gel n nloklo , and
that ho could arrange terms with Hrooklyn
or make up his mind to play in Omaha next
season , and for Iho salary limit of $2,000 nnd
not a cent more.
Pitcher Duryca and Catcher Earle , of the

nssociution , 1ms signed with Ihe Cowboy
American team for next Reason. He also
goes to the antipodes with Spalding.
Jack Snecd will wlnler in this city. There
Is nothing in the report , howuvcr , thai he has
been offered the management of the Omaha
club next season.
Manager Frank Selco claims to have offers
from Indianapolis and Brooklyn for next
season , und ho wants to know what Omaha
will give to retain him. Not within n good
many hundred dollars of what ho received
the past season , it is safe to say.
Patsy Oliver Tobcau has signed with the
Clovclands.
McGarr kicks against being reserved by
Omaha , but no clamor after his services by
anyone else has boon heard ns yet.
Jack Crooks wants to know what his re
lease by the Omahas can bo bought for.
Thai oughl to bo an easy question to answer.
A few hundred dollars should certainly settle
the matter.
Oskosh wants to come Into the Western
association bad. The exhibition games lliero
this fall between the Omahas and Milwau

passant , the scries above alluded to was won
bj Milwaukee. Omaha won the Itrst Iwo
games , then dropped three straight.
Orator George Shaffer the oldest man in
the world may catch on with Cleveland
next year.
Jimmy Tyler , the promising city league
player , has been sold to Sedalla , Mo. , for a
double barrelled shot gun , muzzle loader.
Ho played with the Hardins the pasl season.
Burdick pilchcd twenty games for Indmn-
nnolis , winning len and losing ten , which

The Milwaukee public is stuck on Joe
Walsh. The papers up there claim that
Ansou wanted him bed but wouldn't pay tlm
price.
The Kansas City base ball question was
again fast assuming a complicated form , but
nt last everything has been satisfactorily
straightened out , and all obstacles to clear
sailing removed by the consolidation of the
two teams down there. The Americanshuvc
purchased the Western franchise and all the
players loft , and will furnish the only pro >
Sessional team lo represent the Cowboy City
the coming year.

that ho will bo found on his old stamping
ground in the Badger Stale near year.

SAN FUANCISCO , Oct. 29. [ Special
Correspondence of TUB BKK. ] Now
that you folks In Nebraska are getting
n taste of winter weather doubtless you
console yourselves by having gorgeous
breakfasts of pork tenderloins and buck
wheat cakes. The time has been when
I liked such faro as well as any ono ,
but long residence in California has
given mo higher notions of food , A
San Francisco breakfast at the present
time is a thing to rejoice over , and it is
no small delight to remember that the
richest njon of the east cannot faro as
well as wo. In the first place wo begin
with prawns and bread and butter , and
with a glass of Riesling white wine.
Then wo have broiled young salmon , eras
as wo call them , chicken salmon , and
they have to bo eaten to bo appreciated.
I have remarked that eastern people of
means when they come hero and keep
house always buy the largest salmon
they can got. I don't see the reason for
this , for the largo fish are very cloying
and the meat is difllcult to digest , be
cause of the fat. After the
fish we have mutton cutlets , 'or
something of that sort , for , to tell the
truth , between the mieroscopibts who
are finding anthrax microbes in all the
beef , and the newspaper revelations of
the Chinese meat shops , most men's
stomachs are rather turned from beef
and pork. With the meat wo take zinfandel -
fandel , which is our claret. After the
cutlets wo have white muscat grapes ,
whose delicious flavor cannot bo de
scribed by words. To tell the truth. I
have sometimes made my entire break
fast on them and broad with plentiful
libations of some white wine like
Golden Chnssehis , or Riesling , or Lo-
frane'a wnito wino from San Jose. The
end of the breakfast is a cup of line tea
in the Japanese style , without milk or
sugar. After a man has concealed
tlicbe dibhos below his vest , he may feel
thut he has not lived in vain.
Tin : END or Tin : CLOCK OAME.
It may bo remembered by the readers
of THE BKK that the clock game was
raided , and that Itlfl pcrbons who were
playing were arrested. It was ar
ranged that they should all be released
upon putting up bail , and that ono of
the proprietors of the game should bo
tried for violation of the ordinance , as a
test case. This was done , and ho was
found guilty and fined $100. The cases
against the players were nol-pros.sod ,
and then the fun began. Almost all of
the noble JiOO Spartans who had been
arrested had given fictitious names , and
had forgotten them. When they came
to get tnoir bail money they applied to
the clerk under their true names , and
the official , of course , was compelled to
refuse them. Ho Haid : "I
have not the slightest doubt
that what you say is true ,
but 1 cannot possibly act upon it. Can't
you remember the name you gave ? "
Some of the victims sat down and tried
back successfully in the recesses of their
memories ; others walked up and down
in some sequestered street near Russian
hill and fished and fished in the lake of
their recollections without gettintr a
bite ; others made affidavit that they
had been arrested and had given ball
under fictitious name.s and had forgot
ten them , and having duly sworn to
( cose facts before a notary , presented
the paper in triumph and got back their
five double eagles. It was days and days
before the money returned to its loeiti-
mate owners and there are still seven
teen bails that have not been called for.

The recent discovery of a Chinese
loner in Newark , N. J. , must , I should
imagine , compel eastern mon to share
our convictions with regard to the Chi
nese. American physicians are awak
ening to the terrible truth that leprosy
is not a fiction born of mad antipathies
and race prejudices , but a realityn fear
ful reality. A Now York physician , belonging -
longing to Bellevue hospital , heard of a
case in Mott street , which is the Chi
nese headquarters in Now York , and ho
endeavored to see the man so that ho
might study the symptoms. Ho learned
through an interpreter to the Tombs the
number of the house , but ho could , not
penetrate to the room whore the suf
ferer was kept concealed , for two high'
binders stood on the stairs each with
an ugly broad knife in his hand and
threatened to chop off his head. The
Chinese do not believe that leprosy it
contagious , and I learned from a Chinese
doctor , who was a manof some science
that it was considered to be a kind of
scrofula , only very terrible. But the
belief in the middle ages was that it
was contagious and there are whispers
in San Francisco of some young Ameri
cana who became victims through hit-
the pipe and making the acquaintance
of the abandoned Chinese women in i
certain part of Dupont stroot. There
have been mysterious disappearance ;
which never could bo accounted for , ant
the idea prevails that these whc
were convinced of their leprosy went of
and committed suicide in lonely places
There are along the coast range thou
sands of places whore the chapparul if
so thick that if a man forced his way t <
n certain distance from the trail am
blow his brains out his body would no
oven bo found by the birds that proj
upon the dead.

California is making gigantic stridci
in the culture of the grape , both foi
D wine making and for raisins. Arpat
o Harazthy , the president of the assooia
a tion of Grape Growers , made a state
ment rocenoly at a meeting of ropro
sontatiro viticulturiats which ought ti
be copied in every American paper
Ho said that there was at present ai
area of 150,000 acres of vines in cultlva
tion , and that the vineyard products ii
tab'.o grapes , raisins , wines and brand
ios would , in less than three years
givq an annual total of $16,000,000. II
claimed that there would bo 40,000 ton
of table grapes. 1,500,000 boxes of rate
ins , 50,000,000 gallons of wine , am
1,500,000 gallons of brandy. . Thes
are not the figures Of to-day , bu
they are based upon the laud unde
vine culture to-day. In .throe.year
time there can bo po doubt that thor
will be more land devoted to grap
growing , particularly in' the sputli
whore a specialty is made of raisins
The consumption of these in' the'Unite
States is enormous , but the demand fa
California raisins h.us suddenly in

( love the Spanish Valencia * to bo bette

the Spanish Malagas cannot com par

raisins are much moro juicy and hav
much moro flavor , and the proof ot.thi
is that people are making raisin tarts ,
which could not jwailbly bo done with
Malagas. 'They1nr9 not lr.\d < lor 1 have

FLOOD'S rowmi OF ATTORNEY.
A day or two ago there was recorded
in the olllco of the county recorder a
general power of attorney , by which
Cora Jane Flood , wife of James C.
Flood , appoints James L. Flood ( young
Jim ) to act for her in all matters. The
instrument was executed last May , so
that even at that period Jim Flood
thought that ho must make the long
voyage , not the trip from here to
Europe , but the longer one from this
world to the next. Ho may recover ,
after all , for the waters of Carls
bad are famous for his malady ,
which is Bright's disease of the kid
neys. This can bo cured if the patient
will adopt a system of starvation or of
living upon the most unpleasant faro.
Poker Schenck cured himself by ac
cepting a diet of beefsteak at noon , and
oatmeal , alleviated by molasses syrup ,
at G in the morning and 0 at night , and
by going to bed at ! ) and rising at 0. As
his ono passion is for cards , he did not
care much for the good living ho sur
rendered , bu > it is different with Flood ,
who likes solid comfort with considera
ble champagne in it. If lie should re
cover and return ho will bo popular to a
certain extent , for we like to see Californians -
fornians living when other mon die , and
holding up the reputation of the state
for superiority in everything.
THUUMAN SAID OUKASKUS.
What in the world possessed the Old
Roman to go out of his way to insult the
native Californinns by the use of the
degrading term greater':1 : Thurman
said : "Had iho opponents of the demo
cratic party had their way California
would be to-day the homo of the greaser
and the republic itself would be incom
plete. " The state of California would
bo incomplete and very incomplete
without such men as General Vallojo of
Vallojo , and his brother of the old mis
sion of San Jose , and without such men
as Pachcco , who has , although young ,
an honorable political record , which
will compare favorably with all but
that of a do un American Cali-
forninns. Vallojo was in command of
northern California at the tune
of the Mexican war , and it is known to
all men that ho warmly approved
the separation of the state from Mexico ,
and desired itsentrance , into the union.
He mot the conqu9rors half way , for ho
realized the ad vantages that would ac
crue to his natiVe 'California. Had ho
utili/.ed the nlilltary resources at his
command , California might not have
been American for many a bloody year ,
for the country is a wonderful ono for
guerilla warfare. But ho wished that
California might bb an American state ,
and so ho held his 'hand when he might
have struck ai terrible blow , and ho
yielded at the first moment that ho
could do so with safety to the com
munity. I have all this from his own
lips , and I havh talked \frith his brother
for houra at a stretch about it , for , to
toll ( the trutluJho ; old mission of San
Jose , is ono of ray camping grounds.
California honors its native citizens of
Spanish origin , and no California ! ) over
did or would insult one of them
by the opprobrious terra , "greaser. "

The ways of the Southern Pacific are
past finding out. The road acts as if
there were no state laws , no sonbo of
wrong or right in the community , and
no other motive for human action than
money. The Southern Pacific is the
basket into which the thieves of the
Central Pacific Crocker , Hopkins ,
Huntingdon et al as the lawyers say ,
put their stealings. With the money
which they stole from the United States
and acquired by skinning alive the con
sumers of California and Arizona , they
built a road which connects at some
point in Texas with railroads to Galveston -
ton and New Orleans. Besides this
they built a road connecting with Port
land in Oregon. The points of junction
of these two roads is at Port Costa ,
which is on the east side of San
Francisco bay , north of Oak
land , and going in the direction
of Mon to Diablo. There is on the
northern shore of the bay near Vallcjo
n network of roads all belonging to the
Southern Pacific and all constructed with
the generous intention of gutting the
Central Pacific of its traffic so that when
the federal government seizes it tlroro
maybe nothing but skin and bones. To
the northward the Oregon & California
unites with the Oregon railroad along
the Columbia rivcr.and with the North
ern Pacific , and with the Union Pacific ;
to the southward the Southern Pacific
unites with the Atchison , Topeka &
Santa Fo , and with the Texas & Louisi
ana roads bo that the Central Pacific is
actually like a girdled tree. These
roads have been built by the issue of

arco of being independent constructions.
But now all the eggs are put
into one basket , the headquarters
of the Oregon & California railroad
have boon removed from Portland to
the headquarters of the Southern Pa

issued , all other bonds being called in.
To the ordinary observer this would
bcem tantamount to a boarding house
keeper giving a chattel mortgage on
the furniture and goods in her house ,
leasing another boarding house , remov
ing to the now ono everything of any
value in the | .other , and then saying
with a faint , sad , voice to the holder ol
the chattel mortgage : "I find I cannot
pay you the intorc'st. ' I'm a poor , lone ,
hard-working > woman , and have noth
ing but my boarding house. If you fuel
like robbing mo , it's ut your morcy. "

NEW YOUK , Oct. 80,1833. There is
blood iu every cyo , and there ia a
tomahawk in every hand. Now York
is now the theatre of n series of single
combats between leaders of the two
great hosts Tammny and the county
democracy. It Is quite Homeric , and
no doubt those who are shouting the war
whoop and hurling the tomahawk cher
ish the f6nd delusion that victory will
bo won now as it was in the Iliadio
times by the individual prowess of load
ers , not by the steady onset of nameless
thousands. Wo kuow bettor , and next
Tuesday night will tell the story. Wo ,
who only look on and laugh , are per
fectly well aware that the extraordinary
antics of Hewitt , who is more amusing
than a niunkoy , and the bellicosity of
Hjghio Grant , who has got his
Irish well up , as the boys
say , will have no effect upon
the ultimate result. This being
so , every one is surprised that General
Newton , who is at the head of the pub
lic works department , should have
thought it necessary to plunge into the
fray. He was the United States engi
neer in charge of the important govern
ment work at Hell Gate , and when ro-
ired on account of ago according to the
regulationsho was made chief of the pub
lic works department of this city , mainly
through the instances of Mayor Hewitt.
Though a proud , reserved and some
what supercilious gentleman , ho became -
came so enraged at ShcrilT Grant's on
slaught against Hewitt's knownotning-
istn that ho descended into thu arena
of newspaper warfare and has been
soundly pummelcd. Ho has done Hew
itt no good ho has done Hughie Grant
no harm , nnd ho has succeeded in earn
ing the enmity of the New York World ,
which is making a tremendous canvass
against Hewitt. That paper editorially
calls Newton a humbug and a fabricator
of false statements , and brands him as
inelHcicnt.
NK\VTON'S Iir.r.lj flATI ! AVOllK.
Since the World's expose of his inef
ficiency as a commissioner of public
works , mon are beginning to talk of
the work ho did for the United States in
the improvement of Hell Gate channel.
He had been on that most important
task for very many years , and the first
submarine explosion , that of Hallot's
roof in 187C , was widely reported because -
cause of its complete .success. It , however -
ever , ameliorated but little the passage
from the East river to the Sound , not
from any shortcoming in General New
ton's work , but because it was simply a
preliminary to the real bushiest , the
clearing away of the Middle reef and
the , Niggorheady. General Newton
attempted this four years ago and ut
terly failed , but no paper save the
Evening Telegram had the courage to
say so. The cause of the failure was
principally that ho u > > od rock-rend , an
explosive who- powers of resisting
water had not been sufficiently
proved , and secondarily because ho had
constructed his lines of batteries with
out due consideration of the nature ol
the rock with which he had to deal.
That rock is gncibs. Usually gneiss
may bo considered as unstratiticd , but
'
in'the Middle reef it was practically
stratified , for there were streaks ol
pure quartz alternating with streaks ol
mica in largo scales , and the gneiss lay
between these. I witnessed the explo
sion and know it was a failure from the
peculiar water jets. There was a cer
tain amount of nitro-glycerino used ,
aud this was clfo.ctivo , but it did not
shatter the rock because the lines of
batteries were parallel with the streaks
of the gneiss , and of course the gases
found easy vent through the soft
streaks of mica. I satisfied myself of
the truth of this by visiting the reef at
least twenty times. I interviewed
General Newton about it , and ho stoutly
denied that there was any failure and
said that I had bettor bo careful
in my visits to the reef , for it was liable
to sink down nt any moment. That was
four yours ago , and the reef is just as
visible as over it was , and all the effec
tive work in the channel has been by
surface blasting with dynamite car
tridges , by thoAtlantic Dredging com
pany of Brooklyn. By this slow but
sure process the Nigger Head reef has
been removed , und some work has been
done at the northern end of the Middle
roof , opposite the lunatic asylum on
Ward's Island. That is all. I came to
the conclusion that General Newton
was a humbug , and capable of saying
the thing that is not , und am glad to bo
confirmed in my view by the Now York
World.
World.SAGE
SAGE TILDUN'S LIUUAKY.
As it has been decided that Samuel
Tilden's will stands good , his benefi
cent gift of a library to the city of Now
York will probably bo carried into
effect mainly by Andrew II. Green.
Ordinary men would bo swamped by
suggestions , for great public interest
has been manifested about this li
brary , and the papers are lamenting
that all the public libraries of the city
have been practical failures and hinting
that this one will bo just like the
others , the Astor and the Lennox and
the Historical Society und so on. An
drew H. Green is a silent , reserved ,
conscientious man , who by his honesty
and his capacity and his power of listen
ing had ondonrcd himself to the sago of
Graystono , and if auv man knows what
kind of a public library Sam. Tildon
meant to give to the city of New York
ho does. Nothing surprises me more
than some journalistic comments I have
road about the Astor and the Lennox
libraries. There is a belief that the
public is being wronged , and that these
libraries ought to bo made moro popu
lar. This view is given editorially'
All this is pure delusion. John
Jacob Astor noyor gave u popular
library to New York. It was
not his intention. Ho founded
a reference library for the service ol
poor scholars , and of mon whose trade
ia literature. To these the Astor library
is * the greatest God-send imaginable.
It belongs lo them and not to the un
educated public desirous of education.
That the latter ought to have a library
is certain , and they will have it some
day-but to provide such was not old
Astor's wish. So with the Lennox
library. Thq publio ia angry because
no ono can be admitted without a ticket ,
which must be obtained by application
to Mr. Moorethe secretary of the Histo
rical Society. The Lennox library was
not meant to bo popular. It , was designed >
signed for authors und commentators ir
certain distinct lines o ! literature. II
is a library of editions. If you want tc
BCO all the editions of Shakospcaro and
all the important comments go to the
Lennox. If you want 16 com para the
editions of John liunyan's Pilgrim's
Progress , or Milton's Paradise Lost , go
to the Lennox. If you want to post
yourself upon prluting , and to study ,
the different processes used , before the
real principle of niovcnblo types was
firmly established , go to the Lunnoxt
The public does not want this. The
public wants a library that will havoall
sorts of books loaned gratuitously to
parties proving tholr respectability.
That Is the true idea of a public library ,
but it has not materialized yet , and may
never.

So tremendous was the outburst of
public opinion when Dodoll refused to
testify as a witness in the suit brought
bv his Injured employers , Shlpnmn ,
Barlow , Lnrocquo & Choato against the
State Bank of Now York for 8170,000 , or
thereabouts , that the bank quailed. It
had proposed through this most infa
mous device to shield itself from its re
sponsibility to the law firm plundered
by Bedoll. That firm , with unflinching
determination to bo just , remunerated
every client who had boon robbed by
Bedoll with his bogus mortgages , and
stood resolved to evade no responsi
bility that could bo put upon them ,
The bank with which they did business
and which was responsible for honoring
forged signatures , pioposod to sneak
out of its share of responsibility by in
ducing Bodoll to refuse to testify. There
was a perfect howl of indignation from
all classes of business mon , and the
bank comprehended that it would be
cheaper to face the music , so the gag
was taken from Bedell's lips and ho tes
tified. Ho had nothing to bay s.tvo to
relate the manner in which ho had
operated , which lie did in a quiet , sub
dued manner. Ho has pleaded guilty to
the indictment for forgery , and will un
questionably got twenty years , so that
he stands uithiii an awful shadow whoso
Hombroness has already told upon him.
His testimony has to bo given from tiny
to day before Judge Barrett in cham
bers , because ho must testify with re
gard to ouch separate operation. Prob
ably ho will not receive his own bon-
tence until after his evidence has been
given , and he has boon cross-examined.
In the meanwhile short work has
been made with Emor&on , the policy
dealer , who got 8100,000 of the money
which ho ruined his lifo to obtain. Ho
has been tried and convicted and will
bo sentenced the day after to-morrow.
He can bo sentenced to two years' im
prisonment and a line of 81,000 , or to
either. It is probable that ho will be
cntonced to imprisonment , for
> olicy dealers have no longer any politi-
: al piill.
OUIl METUOrOMTAN ART MUSUl'M.
Next week the doors of the Motro-
lolitiin art museum will bo opened for
, ho fall exhibition , which lasts for six
nonths. after which the place is closed
or a monthj during which the spring
xhibition is arranged. The openings
.re great social events and everybody
who is a personage , however small ,
gets an invitation unless ho is
n the black books of the Director
joncral Di Cesnola. or of the exe-
utivo committee. This is a gala occa
ion because the building has boon very
greatly enlarged , so that its capacity IB
ow trebled. The principal feature
.sod to bo the loan collection of pict
ures , but since the bequest of Miss
Catharine Wolf of her gallery , the mu-
oum borrows no more pictures. Art
ibjccts that are offered are , however ,
accepted with the understanding that
hey must remain until the close of the
txhibition. It is notoriously the weak
'eaturopf the muHOum that the manage
ment will only accept loans Irora those
people who are with them , so to speak.
The proffered loans of gentlemen who
! vro believed to fool adversely towards
uiy member of the managing board are
noxorably doclinod. To my knowledge
\lr. \ E. C. Moore , of Tiffany , has on
hrco occasions expressed his willing
ness to lend his Japanese basket work ,
tiis collodion of glassware and his
Saracenic inlaid brass objects , and the
museum has declined them on the
Around that they had no space to spare.
Another instance of still moro deplora
ble weakness is in the refusal to exhibit
one of their own objects a Phoenician
silver bowl because a Now York jour
nalist , who had tuado himself obnoxious
to to Robert Hoe , was the fortunate dis
coverer that it was a fac simile of the
atnous bowl of Palestrina , in the Kir-
choroano museum , one of the annexes
of the Vatican museum at Rome. The
discoverer , finding that no official no
tice was taken of the fact by the mu
seum , wrote to the Boston Transcript
and placed it on record , since which
time the bowl has been carefully hid
den away. When it is remembered
that the building belongs to the city
and was paid for out of the tax levy , it
would seem as if a little shaking up In
the management in James Gordon Ben-
nott'a best style would bo healthy for
all concerned , and particularly for the
public.YELLOW
YELLOW 1'EVEIl IN IIHOOKLYN.
Wo have been rather stirred up in
our Brooklyn homes by the arrival
among us of Yellow Jack who certainly
was not invited. Captain John Jollard
was the victimand ho died at St. John's
hospital two dayt > after he hud been re
moved from the steamer Courouso of
the Red Cross line to Brazil. Two of
the mon of the steamer were taken to
quarantine. Nobody has said a word
about yellow fever in Rio Janeiro and
Santos , the two ports visited by the
Courenso , and yet it must bo prevalent
there to a considerable extent. The
cargo of the steamer was bags of coffee
and barrels of syrup , and buga of coarse
brute sugar , all of which has been stored
away in the Piorropont stores without
any protest , and indeed without any
necessity of protest. Coffee is notori
ously an anti-septic , and if there were
any microbes , the strong odor of the
green coffee would lay them out. The
view now entertained la that there are
no yellow fever germs , but that It is the
consequence of a vitiated condition of
the air A scientist of French origin
claims that the gulf stream is in a largo
degree responsible for this demoraliza
tion of the air wo breathe , and that yol-
lorn fever must always exist on those
coasts that are washed by it. This is
not very agreeable news for property-
holders in Florida , and If the theory ia
believedtthoro is inevitable bankruptcy
