Their Btockbaldexs. are men of commanding means and influence, who are actively interested in their management. They recognize the right, of the public to de mand safety, comfort and convenience, and devote their best energies to meeting the demand at every point.

A movement for the farther develop ment of Coney Island, which has been some 'time anticipated, has now reached the culminating point. The trustees of the town of Gravesend have sold the sixty five acres making up the extreme west end to the Ocean Pier and Navigation Company for $1 80,000. This part of from New York, and affords the best bathing of the entire beach, lf having the ocean in front and Btill water behind. The plans for its redemption include a hotel to cost a million dollars and a mammoth bath ing pavilion with fifteen hundred rooms.

There is. ample room ior tne enterprise, ana it 5 is in hands that will carry it through promptly and successfully Arguments for the defense have begun in the Mayor's trial of the Police Com missioners. The main line will be that i the act of the Legislature passed May 26, 1881, creating the new Street Clean I ing Department absolutely divested the Mayor of any jurisdiction to proceed fur ther in the tiial. Here is a specimen of the style of argument indulged in by Mr. George Bliss; We started in with William K.

Grace as prosecutor, William E. Grace as judge, and William K. Grace, as far as possible, as executioner. The only exhibition of prudence on your part, Mr. Mayor, was that you did not attempt to swear to the charges your structions that we were not to at tempt to answer specifications on which there had been no evidence given, we have been left to grope about in search of those that have been accompanied by any evidence whatever.

Your Honor charged that the Commissioners had ttejfl An TiTiiTinf: an rl imnmiwr nriftA fni horse feed, but did not take the trouble to offer a particle of evidence to sustain the charge. Your Honor has complained that the coard of Police has failed to carry out the ordinances of the Board of HAO.iT.ri trot nAtV amrhAlir tri tinn nnvr law requiring this to be done. In regard to the charge of failure to specially re move garbage, I have to say that there is no power anywhere to compel the jonce coara to care away tne as ties ana garbage in separate vehicles. Common sense teaches that thev cannot do it an less they pat a policeman before every door. The charge that men employed by wo duwi isieanwir neia voucn rs for hundreds of loads of cellar dirt deposited on the damns I do not believe.

anymore than I believe that an Alderman who has been bribed for $500 gives a receipt ior ic xne attempt to sepa frfttA Ashes and irarhaim Via hvn cri vAn up by your own Superintendent of btreet Cleaning, the man who appoints at vonr command every renegade Demo crat to the department.

For more than twentv vears the vicin ity of August Belmont's banking house has been haunted by a gray haired, ragged and unkempt little old French man, who has the appearance of harm less lunatic mendicancy. In all kinds of weather, in all seasons, the sentinel duty continues. The man makes friends with no, one, but mutters in an undertone about great wrongs he has suffered.

In the French quarter he is called "Mon jvwovivu, auu iv 10 oaiu tuau uxy came to New York nearly a quarter of a century ago with a beautiful young wife and a snug little fortune, inherited from his father who owned a vineyard in Rheims. His wife was ill when they arrived, and he took her to a small 3 hotel near the Battery.

So his mind gave way, and, it is supposed, that he happened to meet Mr. Belmont in the street and fancied that the banker resembled one ol the men who had robbed him.

He has never made any demand or caused any annoyance other than his presence, and, so far as can be judged, he expects some day to have his money restored to him without asking.

He says if he was in that business would not be quite so fresh at to put on with the machines printed circulars to advertise himself, nor would, the Skirmishing Funders employ steamers on which some of their dearest friends were passengers.

O'Donovan's disclaimer is more prudent than the man himself. In the civil war Mr. Warner Miller, Senator elect from thn Ktata of New CYork. was captured by Confederates in the hospital at Winchester. He was paroled in 1863, and never reported for exchange.

The Knickerbocker Sensation. NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE THAT FIREMAN KRANISCH WAS MURDERED. United States Commissioner Allen's examination yesterday of the case in which Robert H. Read, the first assistant engineer, is charged with having caused tne aeatn ot William uramscn, a fireman of the Mexican steamship Knicker bocker, robs the first story which was told of the occurrence of its sensational features. No evidence was adduced ehowine that Read had been cuiltv of such fiendishness as holding the' fireman in the full breath of a fiery furnace until the man was overpowered bv the heat.

Assistant United States District Attorney Angel acquits Read of any violence that resulted in the firemen's death, although maintaining that the fireman was assaulted, and that he was compelled to labor when his svstem was unable to bear the tremendous heat of the fire room with its 12 furnaces in full blast. Read, who is only 25 years of age, with a frank, pleasant countenance, hobbled into the court corner of Montague and Clinton streets, Brooklyn, with the aid of a cane, his feet still swathed in bandages, as they have been since thev were scalded a fortnight ago. The coal passer, Herman Grassen, was xne nrsi wnness. xiis story was, in sud stance, that Kranisch, who had been complaining of the intense heat of the fire room, went up to the deck two or three times on the morning of Sunday, the 17th to get a drink of ice water. The last time Read ordered him to go down and attend to his fires, taking hold of his shoulder and pushing him toward the first iron ladder leading to the fire room, down which he lowered him Dy one leg.

Read, the witness averred, pushed Kranisch with his foot towards the second and lower iron ladder, and followed down into the fire room. There Read examined first one furnace and then another, and during the operation administered a kick to the prostrate fireman. Read also struck him with a shovel. The evidence of this witness was as to its main points corroDoratea Dy tne nreman, rntz Rahmlon, who, however, added that Kranisch was moved away from in front ot tne lurnaces wnose aoors were opened Dy iteaa in tne examination ot tne nres. Both witnesses admitted that they had no reason to complain of Read's treatment of them during the voyage.

John Felschon and August Bladeskv. two seamen, testified that in washing the body of Kranisch they observed Dlack and blue marks on one shoulder and one side. Read told his own story of the occur rence, which was corroborated by the chief engineer, James A. Stillman. He admitted pushing Kranisch toward the ladder, saying that as the man understood nothing but German he had fre quently been compelled to take him by xne snotuaer ana pusn, point ana gesticulate, all at the same time, in order to convey.

to him the meaning of his orders. He denied emphatically the statements tnat ne naa lowered tne man Dy one leg. or kicked him or struck him with a shovel. The chief engineer, who stood on the iron grating, would have readily seen any such acts, for he watched Read and Kranisch as they descended to the rire room. The chiet engineer, Capt.

Frank Kemble, First Officer J. W. Barnett, Patrick Flood, the oiler, and a number of officers who had associated with Read on other voyages, all bore testimony to the leniency with which he treated the men under him. Dr. Vialet, the Knickerbocker's surgeon, denied the existence of any black and blue marks on Kran isch's body, and testified that Kranisch's death was due to the heat an opinion which was supported by Dr.

Kiniberly, another ship's surgeon, who is employed on the Southern steamers, and was aware of the risks which the firemen run in feeding the furnaces of these fast driven boats. At the conclusion of their testimony Commissioner Allen adjourned the case until 10 o'clock to day, when it is expected that he will render his decision, either holding Read to await the action of the Grand Jury or releasing him in season to join the Knickerbocker, which sails to morrow.

The Senator is a member of the committee appointed at the late session of Congress to undertake to redeem the swamp lands bordering the Potomac at Washington. "Nearly everybody that goes to Washington' said the Senator to a reporter on last night, feels the elf ect of the that arises from the swamp lands. It is most unfortunate that the President was not at once removed to the Soldiers' Home or to some residence on the high grounds in the city's vicinity. As it is.

he is in the verv worst locality in the city, at the very worst time in the year. The grounds attached to the White House run down to the hank of the river, and are virtually bot tom lands.

n. LIFE'S VICISSITUDES. MEN WHO HAVE ADORNED HIGH PLACES IN THE EAST NOW STRUGGLING FOR BREAD IN DENVER, A well known man about town, who finds his chief delight in the study of human nature, and wno believes tnat Denver otters a letter field for that too rarely practiced art than any other spot on the face of the earth, told a Tribune representative a good many entertaining and amusing stories in a pleasant hour's chat the other aav. He was seated in a comfortable chair that allowed him to loll back and rest his feet on the window sill, smoking his cigar, and lazily and dreamily watch ing tne smoKe as it went up little rings and was then canght by the wind and sent scurrying out of the window and blown away into nothingness. um vou ever tninK mucn oi tne vi cissitudes of life he asked suddenly.

A smile crept into his face as he went on, examining the burning end of his cigar critically I read a little scrap in a newspaper one time that amused and interested me exceed ing, not so much because of its alleged funniness but because the writer had suggested some good ideas without knowing it. He was telling of two men who met accidentally in the cars.

One said to the other, Have I not met you somewhere before And the fellow spoken to went on to tell him that he probably had met him some where, saying, Three vears ago I was Secretary of a Young Men's Christian Association. Alter tnat i commanded a ship for a while, then worked in a res taurant. Kent a nocel. ran a uewsnaDcr. and last summer I traveled with liar mi as a cannibal." i "Life is full of vicissitudes." re marked his companion, to which the fellow of many experiences responded, laconically, isne am: very lull, in deed." I think of that little yarn every now and then." contmned the gentleman.

It was not long ago that I had my boots blackened by a little codger whom I af terward learned was the runaway son of a Chicago millionaire. The vicissitudes in that little fellow's life are beginning eariy.

1 sat here at my window the other day you see I have a good view up and down the street for a good way and counted no less tnan nait a dozen people as they passed whose histories I knew were peculiar enough to form the interesting plots of so many novels. One man passed with a big bundle of haud bills under his arm. Though thoroughly respectable in his appearance, one would never dream, in passing him, that years ago he was a wealthy man, mayor of one ot the large cities of the East, and with a political lnture as brignt as any man ever had. I don't know how he came down. He tumbled all the same.

He could probably tell you something about tne vicissitudes oi me. There goes a man," said the student of human nature leaning out of the window and pointing out a middle aged man wno was moving aiong witn tne uusy tnrong witn a step tnat told as plainly as words that ambition had ceased to be a motive power, who was at one time a member of Congress from the State of Illinois. He was considered an able man with a great future. To day he would be glad to get a place in the Police Courts that would give him a fee of 85. You'd never imagine that Jay Gould had any poor relations, would youf It eeems hard to think so.

One would imagine that a man so rich as he, and owning dozens of railroads, in the offices of which sinecures are as plentiful as blackberries in July, would look after all his poor relations. And yet right here in Denver a nephew of Jay Gould, the railroad prince, makes his bread by driving a streetcar. He ain't at all proud, and vs ould probably own, without blushing, if you were to ask him, that Jay is his uncle.

Capital Going Southward. Touching the enormous amount of money now seeking Southern investment Gen. Logan, of Virginia, who was one of the pioneers in attracting capital south ward, said About three years ago I went into the first railroad movement witn which was ever connected, i nad tor years Iweii especial attention to rail road law. and was called on for an nin ion concerning some bonds of the Peter bu i garni Weldou Road, a little branch enterprise in which Mime Richmond men had invented. I soon saw that safest course of procedure was to buy uy certain bonds, and 1 tnougnt I con Id raise the money to do so.

It only re quired about $50,000, and 1 went to New York to see about it. he bonds wen ottered for $15 on the $100, and yet I lounn more troume in getting the inouev mi uuj mmi, great was i.ne iear anu distruht that Northern capital had ot Southern investment, thau I found a few weeks ago in raising millions of doIli in New lork with which to organize the extension company that has the contract for building the Georgia Pacific. It is very much easier now to rais million dollars in New York for South em investment tnan it was tnree years ago to raise nliy thousand dollars. In stead cf the distrust, and fear that for n'erly existed there is now actual eager ness to get but hern investment, th eagerness being based on the belief that there is a great margin for development in the bouth. and on the success tha has attended investments already mad there.

To sbow vou to what a low pitch coumern securities were red ucea tnrougr lack of confidence among Northern cap italists and lack of money in the South the very bonds that went begging for $15 three years ago, and that I could hardly raise money tobny at that figure, have since sold at $150. The South has needed capital wofully, and has been calling for it for years. At last it I coming, and coming in millions. If th ooutnern peopio win only meet it in a 7. spirit of fairness, give it a hearty wel come rather than distrust and suspicion and otter it a fair chance rather than proscribe and outlaw it.

there is a decadi ot development and prosperity ahead ot the South that she little dreams of Capital has been all that she needed. and this she is now getting." Atlanta isonstitutton. The New American Navy. The action of the board recently an pointed by Secretary Hunt to inuuir? into the subject of naval construction is thus far definite and encouraging. Th gentlemen composing the board areevit oentiv in lavor or renauiutating tne navy, which is a great point to begin with, and they are also quite harmo niously agreed as to the way in which it ought to be done.

What they recommend will be seen more in detail elsewhere. It is brien this That three classes of cruisers constructed, the largest of 5700 tons, and a number of gunboats of 700 tons, tin former of iron and the latter of wood. That the cruisers should be buit of steel instead of iron were more in accordance with the advanced demands ot the age and will probably be the final conclu sion of the board, as it is understood te be the judgment of the Secretary. A plan is to be adopted, at any rate. The prospect is that it will be a plan commensurate with the needs of our naval establishment.

It wrll be present ed to Congress with an urgent appeal foi action, and there is scarcely a doubt that the intelligent public sentiment ol the country will favor liberal legisla tion.

I am a lover of books. I love them beyond all other earthly things. I have them because they are books, good and nad alike. To me they are as living things, and posbess a souL It gives me a glow ot pleasure, even alter many vears ot experience, to buy a new oook. To carry it home, cut the leaves, tutu over ihe pages and look in it here ami there is joy enough to last the whole evening.

At sucn a time one does not curiously criticibe the contents one enjoys the fresh aroma of new print I uclM've it is caused by tne use oi turps;" one is grateful to the author iind to tne puuusner; mere is acuaiui about the binding the very type haa a iieauty of its own.

i i our corresponueat recently paid a visit to the United States ravy Yard located down the hay, distant about seven miles from the citv of Pensacola A personal inspection of the Various de partments in tnis institution, so exten sive in its details; tbe evidences of the expenditures of prevfous years of large appropriations by the jNaval Department to perfect this institution in all its appointments: thel location of this iNavy Yard, so advantageous to its requirements; its close proximity and its accessibility to and from tbe Gnlf of Mexico, and with a depth of water sufficient to accommodate anything that noats in jour navy, very naturally excites considerable won derment and the inquiry why this Navy Yard undoubtedly the most consequential (if area and cost are considered) of any Government department in the South has been almost or quite neglect ed of late by the national authorities. Prior to the war the Pensacola Navy Yard was reputed the most complete and best provided navy yard, both as a harbor and a depot lor tne building ana repair ol vessels, in this country. A splendid piece of workmanship in the torm ot a stone dry docK basin, and wooden dry dock, bad been completed lor floating vessels of anv size and haul ing them up for repairs. The dry dock was destroyed during tne war nut the stone baMii which cost 750,000 to con rnict. is in just as good condition as when built.

I am informed that the cost of a wooden box dock with all its appliances. and similar to the one destroyed dnring the war, would approximate There are now in this basin two sec tions of an iron dock built by John Koach.of Pennsylvania, and of good material and workmanship, such docks are not deemed suitable for these waters, and by those who are. bv the experience of years, posted in these mat ters. 1 am advised that no sectional dock can be worked successfully if exposed to a strong current and heavy sea, which ire very frequent at this navy yard. Again, the water is known to ne very salt here, which of itself plays sad havoc with nianutactured iron bolts, screws ind plates particularly in a very few years.

lne pond in the rear, and a i art and parcel of the Pensacola Navy Yard, for the preservation of timber sed in the construction and repair of vessels, is the largest of its kind at tached to any yard in the country. I am informed that at the present time here are various kinds of timber to the value of nearly a million of dollars, sunk in this preserving bond the live oak there is almost etclusively the product of Louisiana. This timber sinks it selt upon beiue placed in the water, and snme several logs of which have been deposited therein upwards of twenty hve hewhite oak comes from Georgia and the and is kept below tho surface the water by means of braces the immense knees ot hackmatack were brought here from the East. Timber of any size and Kind can oe iounu uy con Milting tbe classification boards which are placed in the pond to the locality of class and measurement. The necessity for the rebuilding of the wooden box dock seems very apparent.

and it is to be hoped that the Honorable Secretary of the Navy will give this his early attention. I pon inquiry 1 learned that the ap propriations for tbe various departments in operation in this yard average less than ten per cent, of the amounts au thorized to be expended at other yards, ihe majority of which are of less importance than Pensacola, if properly fos tered. For instance, the very important department oi coustructi un anu re pair" expends monthly about $1000, while at the Boston, New xorK. isorioiK, Kittery and Philadelphia yards the month lv allowances for labor are from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars. The want of time and space forbids my continuance of this subject at this time, except to 'express tbe opinion generally ntcrtained here that the Naval Depart ment have, for the past few years, paid too little attention to the wants of this emninnity in that, connection, and that under the administration of the present Secretary, better things are ex pected.

The people of New Orleans nave an interest, if they but realize it, no less significant than that of Pensa ola and adiacent localities, ior it is wen known and as I am furthermore well advised in this regard that with the tf rat ahlisbment and resumption of op erations in this yard under, tbe system; ni former years, large numbers of work men and skilled mechanics would hare to be drawn from New Orleans, even as they are occasionally under the present dispensation. The Board of Health has jast'decidod to allow the landing in this city ot the cargo of asphaltum now at quarantine station, and imported from Havana br the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, only on condition that the bags (1000? containing thin nxnSnltnm 0V.0 II il at quarantine, and the cargo dischanted in bulk. iiicui. nomas vj. urove, tr.
