The) braying of thoae shallow-pa tod pr-' poet hare sought daring the pact week to siaer the story la last Monday Tutu a to evaporation of Got. Hill's Tammany carport areUed.n amly demonstrating tbe trath I of tao'letateaaeut made so ar.7usj00.ts vera seed prov Cie falsity of the story, those vkoM kntereet ts wee to deny It eonteatlng themselves with saying that they bad no knowing on tbe object A nobody ever accused of them with xnoairg rising worth gnawing their statements were rvwetred aa aa-d)oriutiTa.

Tit Tims said tha. the compact petweeh Got. Bill and Tamretny had been asokeojand that Tammany wm under Implied to Join with the Count Democracy ta upportiBg President C-eTelaM-! ranomlnetien and re-electin. The facta pet forth to establish these atatementa were conelnaire, and the Gor-erDora attempt to create diacord between the FrttKlSnt ud gocretrT Whitney waa shown np ta aU ts bearings. Ta the rery face of the accumulation of ert-eenee oa the aabjeet aereral of the mouse-trap statesmen la Tammany filled op gullible per-aos wjth alleged arguments to ahow that the wlgvsm waa Just aa true to Hill as it ever was.

and ttft there waa no intention to support Mr. develind. The real feeling of theae Tammany jmon ia ahown by the fact that In their talka with one another and with confidential friends; they call the Governor all aorta of names, and adrnit that politically he ia a failure. Their friendship for Mr. Cleveland ia not nearly ao severe a la their diallke for Got.

H1U. and they admit to those whs talk privately with them. I The fact that they hare Joined forcea with the County liemocracy and nave tacitly acreed not to oppose tbe President ia doe atmply tA ihtt fear that tbeT see that Mr. Cleveland could nominated and elected without their aid. It needM no effort to fret them into line.

Tbe srerage Tammany man la aa ahrewd aa be 1 unscrupulous, and that ia saying a great deaL locraOltude gn hand in band with aelf-intereat, and hen Tammany aaw Hili going down it got in with the winning aide. One newspaper in tula city, which dimly twinkle by the grace of corporate money, in eom-mTtlne on The Timks'8 atory, remarked that If It were not creatly miataken a eonrinclna proof would be siren of tbe amicable relatione at present csiettng between the President and Got.

however, will be another proof of tbe troth uf tbe atate-nientt in Thk Time. The moat aaplrlng imitator of Mknchausen would hardly care to risk the statement that tbe relations between the two men bare always been pleasant. Since the inauguration of the President Got. Hili baa not been to Washington. Why He baa received aereral Invitations, but haa not seen At to accept them.

The reason which one of bia friends elves la tbat Hill did not want to aret mixed np with tbe policy nf tbe present Administration. He wanted to ride two horses at once: to rive out tbe impression tbat be waa honestly opposed to the President's policy, but personally friendly with the Preeident. If he goes to see Mr. Cleveland now It will be because be hope to ride into tbe Governor chair In 1388 on the Cleveland tidal wave. The first fruit of tbe better understanding that exlate between Tammany and the friends ef the Adminlatratlon waa seen at the meeting nf the General Committee of tbe organization last Friday evening.

It waa the laat meetloa; of the committee for the present year, and yet none of the usual anti-Cleveland, anti-eiril service, and hurrah-for-Hlll resolutions were introduced- Not a member had a word to say on tbe subject, even Congressman -elect U. Bonrke Cocxran refraining from making a epeeeh. It waa a splendid opportunity for a speeeh. and it ia the first known occasion when the eloquent orator neglected to ear a few words" to eheer tbe hnnfrry spoils hunters. It ia said that a bust ef Mr.

Cockran. inscribed Silent for once," will be placed alongside the buat of John Kelly, as a memorial of the Friday evening meeting. rfff LABOR qVESTIOJT TV ALABAMA, from (As Montgomery (Ala.)

tririrxxe is uissiox wobk. The congregation of the Westminster Presbyterian, the South Congregational, and the Strong-Place Baptist Church, of Brooklyn, held a union aervice last evening in the edifice nf the Baptist congregation to consider the work of the Brooklyn City Mission Society. Ex-Mayor Low presided, and said, before introducing the mlntateriaJ speakers, that he waa glad to see chdrchea of different denominations uniting in ruah a service. More stress should be laid on tha common point of belief, and not ao much on tabs thinea which tended to keep them separate. The Eev.

Dr. Moment, of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, thought there could be no question as to the need of the work being done byi the City Mission Society. He compared Brooklyn with Babylon and several other ancient eltiea of aomewbat tarnished reputation fur holiness, and said that, like Darld'a protetre, Mephibosbeth, she waa lame In both feet 6he stood sound enough on both legs where snipping, business, palatial residence, street railroads, weae considered, bat la saloons, beer wagons )otllng other vehicles on the streets, ball grounds, and theatres crowded on Sundays, she was rery lame.

It waa poialbie, he said, that the decline of the parochial system ra such places would be succeeded by something better fitted to promote their interests. He referred briefly to the objection which some members of the congregation had shown to the Tntroductloa of ritual into the ehnreh by the deceased, and remarked that some people would not take the mtniatrauona of aa anrel from heaven if he cam to them clad tn what they considered an objectionable or conducted tns aervice wits a reverence which was beyond their appreciation.

The moat interesting and? striking inci dent of the concert fire by the Arioa Society, at Stoiaway Hall, laat evening, were the performance of Bale chorus ef tbe Arton and M. Masln's Interpretation of i Mendelssohn's violin concerto In F. minor. Mors attractive nnra-bera.

Indeed, bare often bees earned the min-nercbor of tbe society, tbe three figurteg on laat nlghfe programme being better fitted to teat the robustness and precision ofl the singers than the finer Qualities of their execution. By a coincidence, probably, nther Jthan by design. the three choruses sung during tha evening were of a nautical cast, 'the first being a sailors song from Bheks "Golden I4end." the second MTbe Emigrants." br GerAert. and tbe thtrd the choral passages in Greig's Landkennung." The latter were by all odds the most grateful to listen to, but Gevaerf a work proved a tine test of the ex- ecntlve powers and spirit of the singers, and tbe msnnercnor responaeu us aemanus in aa- mirebie style. Part of this lumber, which ia Itself Impresses one aa far-fetched and orer-vrmuliL had to be repeated amid general en thusiasm.

M. Mnain'a effort was a brilliant one. He played Mendelssohn's noble com position in Its entirety, and his rendering of it was as finished ana satisfactory aa acnieveiaeat ae sue puoius haa noted ta many a year. The opeoing allea-ra was given with great intensity and force, and the lovely andante with genuine feeling and a very pure, if not a very ull. tone, while tbe final rondo waa Carried on at tbe rapid pace at which all the great noltntats of the age are accustomed to take It.

occasionally as waa at times the case last evening to the impairment of the tonal beauty of the performance. M. Mustn's rendering of tbe concerto, however, was a beautiful and noble effort, and is to be so recorded. Later on the vjollnlst interpreted Saint-Hafns's -Introduction and Hondo Caprierioeb." The remaining numbers on tbe house bill were not of passing importance. A new orchestral composition, by Tachaikowaky, entitled A Child's Dream," was scarcely worth listening to, let alone playing; if any relation could be discerned between ita sublect and its title through the medium of a brief berceuse motive the unavoidable conclusion: must bave been reached that the child waa painfully feeble minded and it dream tbei direct result of indigestion.

The orchestra rendered tbe novelty with expression and smoothness. but it produced no lmnreasion whatever. The band's execution of Hofmann's -Hungarian Pnite" was. as on a recent occasion else where, highly effective. Tbe Vocalist last night was Miss Anna Lankow, who was beard In songs by Brahms.

THE CHICAGO PLAYHOUSES. THS CITT SURFEITED WITH TOO MTCH GOOD MUSIC. Chicago, Dec 19. Taken all in all, the past week has not been one to make the Chicago theatrical managers particularly happy. A careful diagnosis of the situation would result in the discovery tbat there such a thing as too much of a good thing, and that Chicago Is suf fering from too much music Perhaps the best evidence of that is that Heoley's, where Joseph Murphy had been playing 'for a week, has done the largest business of any house in town.

There was no other house where the drama could be found, all the other theatres having succumbed to the operatic manager, and people fled to Hooleys as a place of refuge. At the same time it must be admitted that the music was good. CoL MeCaull's capital com pany hss been singing "The Crowing Hen" at the Chicago Opera House. Mr. Duffs company baa finished up a not very prosperous engagement of a month at McYlcker'e, and the Carle-ton Company has sung "Nanon" for a week at the Grand.

Tbe coming week tbe situation wiu be re versed. Drama of various degrees of merit will reign at all the houses, except the Grand, where Hermann comes tor a week, and tbe Chicago Opera House, where CoL MoCaull's company remains Wilson Barretts is at the Columbia plavlng "Claud! an." and at tbe Wednes day matinee Chatter-ton." The Color Sergeant." and A Clerical Error" will be given. Denman Thompson is at McVicker's with Tbe Old Homestead" and Joseph Murphy remains for another week at Hooley's. reviving -The George Faweett Rowe's play. Tomorrow night tbe MoCanll company will bring out Don CsRsar." which was seen here last season, snd was well liked.

The occasion will be noteworthy because of the American dbut of Miss Gertrude Grisweld. The advance sale for the week has been large, and CoL MeCaull thinks he is in good trim to wrestle with Santa Claus.

WaBHrxGTO, Dec 19.

If for no other reason Cpngreas should endeavor to make another effSrt to get np revenue bills tn order to consider tbe Hewitt amendment to. the administrative seotions of the customs laws so urgently recommended by Secretary Manning. Unless snch an effort ia made and Is successful the patient labor ao highly complimented by Mr. Man ning will be thrown away for at least a year and a bait fjr It is not to be expected that the Fiftieth Congress, however favorable it may be to Remedial will be prepared to i rush the bill through. The sug gestion I has been made by some of the more enthusiastic revenue reformers since the Tote of yesterday, that Mr.

Morrison ought to feel I encouraged to make another effort, and a third if necessary, to get at tbe most im portant question before Congress, and to do it so frequen tly as to Instruct tbe country fully as to the chai acter of Mr. Randall's opposition. Tbe Treasui Department officers, who are all becoming greatly concerned about what shall be done with the rapidly accumulating surplus, lean to tbe proposition to take up Mr. Hewitt's bill to use theturplus for anticipating the payment of the interest on the debt Tbe Hepublican leaders are all pleased with tbe resait of Saturday's vote. So are all the members who, on both sides, favor the use of the neehlees revenues in river and harbor improvements, the erection of fortifications and public buildings, the extension of the navy and tne esi mnsnment ot rounanee lor ue proauo-tion of steel and ordnance.

While tbe door Is now cli ed to a reduction of taxes, tbe way appears to be open to increase tbem, for Mr. I isoock only awaits an opportunity to advocate an increased duty on Sumatra leaf tobacco, and there are propositions before both houses to Increase tbe tax on oletimsrgarine. On tbe latter article the in come, by Mr. Parker's bill increasing tbe tax to 6 cents a pounds, would add about a quarter or a rotlliod to the annual Income of tbe Government. The Tanesurer regards with solicitude the locking unot a rapidly accumulating fund as likely to nnng on a stringency ana a eouapse.

xur. Htseoqk. although voting against consideration of the tariff bill, admits that something should be done to prevent tbe increase of the surplus by useless taxation. Tbe trouble is. that wnue lew Republicans question tbe soundness of the prop-osltiosuhat the country is paying too much taxes.

oniv sz KepuDllcans out ot too enure numoer in the House are willing tbat tbe Democrats shall be allowed to discuss a bill to reduce the taxes It is a dog in the manger programme. Mr. Mlnn-ison. by calling op his bill again, will do a service by at least showing tbe Democrats of thejeountry that Mr. Randall and 24 other so-called) Democrats are the obstacle to the success of legislation recommended by tbe President and the secretary of the Treasury, and demanded by everybody except a few favored manufacturers.

The naval Paymasters are divided on the ques tion df increasing the number of their corps. Payniaster Whltehouse, who, as acting chief of the Bureau of Provisions and Clothing, made the last report, recommended tnat tne cumber of Assistant Paymasters be increased. This rss a mere suggestion, made by bim in view of the increased amount of work to be Impose on the pay officers. The acting chief himself id not especially desire tbat the increase shoul 1 be made by cumbering the corps rltb I a lot of untrained young men. He eimplT saw tbe necessity for additional pay (Beers and left tbe choice of means wild secretary wmtney.

Dome oi me memoera of th 6 corps, and especially those of high rank, see a reason why the present rules relating to prort otions should not continue In force, snd if sny I ncrease is necessary they are of the opinion that should be made at the bottom. The present 1 assed Assistant and Assistant Paymasters, however, think differently, and are preparing a meusntial to Congress, which they will transmit throhgh Secretary Whitney, setting forth their vlemw on the subject. One ot tbe young officers said to-dsy that the men of his rank tbought tbe corps should be restored to the state It was in betore the passage of the act of Aug. 5, 1883. and this is what they Intend to ask )f Congress.

Should their petition be favorably considered promotions will be made immediate ily all along tbe tine when a vacancy occurs. The will not be required to wait for two vacancies to get one promotion. The work of reducing the lumber of pay officers is still In progress, thoi gh there is apparent need for an increase. An act repealing the act ot August, issz, wouio cause the promotion of about three Pay Inspect ors snd Paymasters, and 10 Passed Assistant i ndJ Assistant Paymasters. This being done tbe Paymasters at work on the -memorial think it would ue well to put ou iu additional assistants.

Tber think this the only way to do justice to all secure legislation according to their views. Le first official Information received by Con- i of the financial results of the operations of the I oleomargarine law. passed at the last ses- slo4, is in response to a resolution of inquiry adapted by the Senate during the first week of theisessloiL. In the reply of tbe Commissioner of Internal Revenue it Is stated that special taxes re been paid by 34 manufacturers of timargarine, 204 wholesale dealers, and 15 retail dealers. The number of pounds oleomargarine assessed at 2 cents per fnd was 4,430.174.

In the State I New-York taxes were paid by 6 manu- turers. IS wholesale dealers, and 207 retail- and 43,712 pounds of oleomargarine was two wnoiesaie ana tee retail aeaiers taxes tin New-Jersey, and 6,667 pounds was assessed. In Connecticut taxes were paid byi 3 wholesale and 87 retail dealers, and 16i266 pounds wss assessed. Illinois leads all the States, her record being 10 manufacturers. 22rwholeeale dealers, 455 retailers, and 2,623,837 pounds.

Since Mr. Charles Stoughton began his efforts toBnduoe Congress to authorize the Government to bontract with him for the construction of a ship canal through tbe Harlem River he has made 70 trips between New-York and asning-ton in the interest of his project. He has also made several Journeys to Chicago and other Western cities with the result that business men and merchants of that section have joined topee of New-York in petitioning Congress in aJror of the Harlem River improvement. Most men would have been discouraged long ago by the slow progress Mr. Stoughton has msde, but hT has never doubted that in the end his mission would be successful.

Nearly nine years sgo Horatio Seymour wrote to Mr. Btonghton tnat ltllooked to him (Mr. Seymour) as if the Harlem River improvement might solve the problem of tne transfer oi rreignt to vessels in ue pon oi New-York. Mr. Stoughton has preserved the letter ot ex-Gov.

EX-QOK PIIKIX DEAD.

03TK Or COLOJtADO'8 MOST GIFTED MTJf TAKE OFF IS HIS PRIME. DzjrvER, CoL. Dee. Frederick W. Pitkin of this State died last evening at Pueblo of consumption, from which disease ho had been gradually sinking for aereral months.

Funeral serrioe will be held in Pueblo to-morrow at 12 o'clock, after which the body will bo brought here for interment. Pure in life, pore in polities, and purs in his was the verdict long sine passed upon Got. Pitkin by friends and enemies in his adopted State. He, perhaps mora than any other one man, represented that idea In Colorado politics which demands that worth rather than wealth shall be tha standard of public honor in the State. Had he been as fun of health as he was of noble ambitions and wise purposes hs would hare made his mark long before outside the boundaries of Colorado, but be was condemned to a long struggle with disease, which sapped his energies and prerented the advancement tn national politics to which his talents and character entitled htm.

He has died a compara-tivelr young man. but be has left behind him a record in Colorado which will not be soon forgotten. Frederick W. Pitkin was one of the old Connecticut family which bears tbat name, and a direct descendant of the first Governor ot the Nutmeg fttatc. He -was born in Manchester, Aug.

31, 1337, and studied at the Wesley-en University, at Middletown. from which he was graduated in 1853. He then entered the Albany Law School, and after being graduated from there went West in 1860. settling in Mil waukee, uu jegai practice in tnat cut soon grew to be lucrative, and his prospect for attaining political honors in Wisconsin were of tbe nngntest, wnen tailing health compelled aim to give up business, and seek a change of climate. He went to Europe in 1873, but was prostrated in Switzerland, and was brought home in tbe following year so ill that his friends believed him to be dying.

He had the pluck. however, of a Westerner, which does not easily yield, and be determined to more further West and try the remedy ot the mountains. The family moved to Colorado, which had Just been admitted to the Union, and there Mr. Pitkin be-, gan roughing it in the mining camps. The treatment proved effective, and his health improved.

while his frank and easy manners won for him the good fellowship of the mountaineers which wss so essential to nis political lortunea. With returned health oame practice, and Mr. Pitkin soon became the man of prominence in the Southwest. He had some mines of his own, and was doing a fine legal business, when in 1S78 the Republicans of Colorado came to the front, and demanded that he be placed at the nead 01 tne estate ticxet. lie was elected uov- ernor, in spite of the opposition of the large mine owners, who spent money freely in the effort to defeat bim, and In 1BSO be was re-elected to a second term.

His administration was distinguished by wisdom and firmness. During the Leadvllle riot he was prompt and fearless in his support of lsw and order, and it was to his ener getic action that tbe safety ot much valuable property and many lives waa due. In 1883. when Senator Teller became a member of President Arthur's Cabinet, Gov. Pitkin was strongly urged by his friends as a candidate for the Senate, but his health waa again falling, and his Claims were not preaseo.

OBITUARY. HEXRY G. KLVGSLEY. Henry G. Kingsley, Treasurer of Yale Col lege, died at bis home on Hlllhouse-avenue, New-Haven, at an early hour yesterday morn ing.

Four weeks sgo he wss thrown from his carriage by a collision with a coal cart, and two of his ribs were broken? Before he could re cover from these injuries, stomach and long troubles set in and these resulted in his death. Mr. Kingsley was 71 years old. He waa grad uated from Yale College In 1836, and afterward was admitted to the Bar at Cleveland. Ohio.

In 1854 he was elected a Director ot the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad Com pany, and eight years later became Treasurer of Yale College. His administration of the finances of the college was so successful that it is said that be never made a bad investment of any of tbe funds committed to his care. No officer of the college was held in higher esteem by the corporation and Faculty. Mr. Kingsley In his younger days was foremost In both political and religious affairs.

He was one of the for warders of the First Presbyterian Church of Cleveland. He took an active part In the movement to nominate Van Buren and Hale on a Free Soil ticket. Mr. Kingsley was twice married. His first wife was Cornelia H.

Day, of Cleveland, and his second, Mrs. James Hundy, ot TJtica, a. Y. tie leaves no cnildren. At the College Cbapel services yesterday morning President Dwtght announeed the death of Mr.

Kingsley, and paid a flowing tribute to his worth. Mr. Kingsley, he said, was a most efficient officer, and, though personally not rery well Known to tne students, ne naa aone as much as, if not more than, any one else to make laie Diversity wnat it is. rorxo Hebrews osbasiziso. Five hundred of the most prominent Hebrews In Brooklyn met at Temple Israel, on Greene-avenue near Carlton, yesterday afternoon, and formed the Young Men's Hebrew As sociation, which, according to a constitution and by-laws which were adopted, is to be a liberal organization tor tbe promotion of social, moral.

and physical improvement. There is to be estab lished in connection with It a reading room and library, a system of free classes, and during the winter a course of lectures on popular topics, loung men over 21 year 01 age can join upon the payment of $3 semi-annually, and boys under that age and over 16 will have to pay $1 60 at the eame intervals. Life memberships will be placed at $50 each, and patrons are to be taxed $10 a year. After these prelimina ries had been decided noon 185 gentlemen sig nified their intention of joining the society, and a committee waa appointed to prepare a list of Directors, to be voted for at a meeting to be held next Sunday. During yesterday's meeting the Rev.

William pparger. or tne otate-ctreet inurcn, and ue ner. Leon Harrison, the newly Installed Pastor of the Temnle Israel, urged the necessity ot the speedy formation ot such a society on the plan ot the Young Men's Christian Association. -Young Hebrews are living tor everytning out tne church," said Mr. Sparger.

They must understand that there is something besides money making." Mr. Harrison coincided In these views, and wanted a society for Judaism and Jews alone. Among the other speakers was H. M. Lei pzlger, who organized the Hebrew Union In mis city.

DROWNED XX THE DARKNESS. Lars Larsen, a sailor on the schooner Elsie Fay, lying at Pier Jfo. 11 East River, heard a woman's scream tn tha midst of the rainstorm about 8 o'clock Saturday night. When he came on deck he saw a woman straggling in the water between the side of the schooner and the bulkhead of the pier. He leaned over the side and seised her arm, but the deck ot the schooner was slippery and he was soon compelled to let go to save himself from falling into the water.

Then he went for a rope, but when he returned with it tbe woman had disappeared. She had evidently drlftMi under tbe wharf. The sailer made diligent search for her, assisted by two omcers of tne steamboat naa also heard the err. but they were unsuccessful. Near where the woman had disappeared was found a floating basket, and there were some oranges and apples in the wster.

The police say that aereral women have beea in the nablt of going down on the wharf at night to pick np banana ana oranges from the fruit schooners that unload there. One of theae is a middle-aged woman and another a girl about 16 years old, known as Little Maggie. There wore no inquiries at Police Headquarters or at tbe office of the steamboat squad tor any missing woman. and no body was louaa in tne water. HIS MO TITS A MTBTERT.

Robert J. Watson, a brother of Supervisor Watson, ot Brooklyn, left his home at No. 13 Butler-street yesterday afternoon to change a bllL Going to Dennin's drag store at Court and First streets he purchased a two-ounce bottle of carbolic add. At 3 o'clock ho waa found lying in a hallway on Hoyt-street, near the canal, almost nnoonscioua. An amouianoe was summonea, and Surgeon Conkling Immediately de-trtJl the smell of carbolic acid on the dving man.

A search resulted in the discovery of the bottle, from wbteh about an ounce had been taken. Watson was removed to fit Peter' Bosnltad where he died in 20 minutes without regaining consciousness. The body waa taken borne, ataoa was years ot age married, but he had no children. He was a plasterer by trade and had been doing a good business fur several years past. His wife could give no reason for his sulrids except temporary aberration of the mind.

She had noticed queer actions on his part for a week or more, bat bad paid no attention to ibsd. tie waa ia spirits when he left the house yesterday. LATEST FOREIGN SHXPPIS9. LOXPOX. Dee.

Fraaeia Berserti Jeaa, MbUi St THAT ELUSIVE SWINDLER DAUT8 BOGUS AGENT PROBA BLY EOT YET CA UGET. AHT FACTS WHICH MAKK IT CXXJXB- fT THAT HI COT7LD HATS 003TB TO CUBA A OTCCM5TAXTIAL THIOKT. The dispatch printed yesterday from tha city of Mexioo intimating that tha man who relieved tha confiding public there of abort 30,000 for bogus subscriptions ta th Pattl concerts had probably beea caught la Havana, provoked only incredulity among those qualified tn this city to Judge of each matter. To reach Havana the fugiare would naturally have gone to Vera Crux for a steamer. The sur- Temanca of passengers aad the inspection of baggage of persons leaving Yera Cms has no parallel for severity and thoroughness in tha Customs Service of thia country.

Every one who wants to go out from Vera Cms on a steamer must pass to the steamer pier through a small gate which ia strictly guarded. Examinations occur at once and on the spot. A person recognized as a foreigner is regarded with special suspicion. Suppose the windier to hare boarded the steamer in safety, running tha gantlet of the keen eyea of men who had evi dently been forewarned by the police to watch for such a person. Then, unless he were densely ignorant, ne would enow mat at ma port ot landing he would be taking big chances of stepping from the frying pan to the griddle.

Havana is not only a Spanish port, like Yera Crus, but Its people are bound In many waya to the and its laws mage extradition as essy as Is the arrest In this country in one State tor an offense committed in another. A swindler like this one would be far safer In or near the city of Mexico, it is asserted, than it he were to seek Harana In hla flight from Justice. Aside from the inherent improbability of such a course of flight, it haa been established by the Mexican police that this man did not head to ward vera eras at all, but In aa opposite direction. In order to reach Vera Crus ha would need to retrace his Journey by rail. Having doubtless anticipated an excited state of publio feeling the man who engineered this performance would have knowingly run his head into a net had he tried to travel backward after making 'a start tn one direction.

This man was no sim pleton. All his movements indicated uncommon shrewdness. So well aware does he seem to have been Indeed that no effort would be omitted or spared to overhaul him that he left the train before daylight, having taken it at the city oi Mexico at 7 ciock rn tne evening. A letter tbat reached Manager Orrln. of the Mexican Village, on Saturday, dated city ot Mexico.

Dee. 10. from Mr. Orrin's brother, said that the fugitive had posttlrely been tracked to San Lois Potosi; that he had left the train at Celaya. and that from San Luis Potosi all trace had been lost of him.

Assuming this informa tion to be correct, the man took a train at 7 In the erening and left it at Celaya at 8:30 the next morning. Then he cut across country, prob ably on boraeback, to San Miguel Aiiendi, wnicn he could reach bv 11 o'clock in the morn ing. The Journey thence to San Luis Potosi could be made the same day. Doubtless he did not tarry at this point. His object Just then was to get as far as possible from the railroad and telegraph.

Manager Mcbols. of tbe Mexican Village, who knows that country perfectly, says the man could hare struck cjt north by east from San Luis Potosi into tbe btate of Tamauli-paa, and would have encountered only one set tlement in a Journey of four days to the Rio Grande. It Is a dangerous country for a man to carry treasure through, but one who could lay out sucn a route niust nave oeen ingenious enough so to disguise on himself evidences that would tempt robbery, as to bare passed tnrougn it unnarmeo. Taking all these circumstaneee into Manager D. Hess has a theorr about the war the swindler got away with his booty.

He is satisfied tbat the man who called on him at Cosmopolitan Hall about a fortnight before the Mexicans were taken in la tbe swindler. Borne of the clothing carried by the swindler was marked Mr. Klchols had in his employ about two years sgo. in Mexico, a wide-awake. clever wenrew, wno railed nimseu uarios tsiocn.

This man knew Mexican territory thoroughly. Singularly Mr. Klchols suspected Bloch of complicity in the affair when he first heard of it. Bloch went to Las Vegas, J'ew-Mexioo, on leav ing Mr. employ.

as Mr. Kicbols saw the caller at Cosmopolitan HalL it is certain that he was not Bloch. Bloch. indeed, would net need to ask for information about the city of Mexico, nor would he go there as jm arcu ai ayer orotner. Tor ne is wen mown there.

Mr. Hess suspects, however, that Bloch was concerned with the swindle. If it were ac complished by one man. that man would need to know Mexican territory in order to get out ot tne country. ernaps ne naa an accomplice to pilot him to safety.

With the propensity of sharpers to drift together, the swindler and his accomplice may have met in Las Vegas. It would then bave been a natural arrangement for the pilot to wait for his as sociate at some point on tha railroad from which they could most easily get away from tbe line of pursuit. No better place could hare been ehoeen for this purpose than the one at which the swindler left the tram, and the course he afterward took could not oars been more cleverly planned. He would hare been ava or six days in reaching the boundary, line bat he could easily cross it and then make his way without trouble to numerous means of exit from that section. At Point Isabel.

21 miles from Brownsville, he could have taken a steamer for New-Orleans, or be could have put himself without much extra trouble on the line of a railway. From the clever flight aa well as from the adroit method of the swindle, Mr. Hess feels bound to think not only that tbe trip to and fro waa eomnletelv manned out. but that the retnrn Journey waa guided by an accomplice who knew all about tbe country. I shouldn't be at all -surprised," he said, If the swindler had reached Aew-torx long oeiore tnisame.

remaps ne naa sailed from here for He didnt goto Havana ieei certain." GRATE CHARGES AGAINST TEACHERS. Twelve-year-old Charles Powers, who live with his father, Dennis Powers, at 5a 553 Grand-street, Brooklyn, and la a ptfpll at Publio School No. 18, on Maujer-etreet, has been lying dangerously fU since Dec 8. On that day he re turned from school complaining of feeling sick. His temnlea were swollen, and a doctor who waa called applied leeches to tbem.
