From a Regular Corrcsponde at. New York. Aug. 10. Real estate are interested in tin immense loan advanced by the Mutual Lite Insurance company on the big bui Idhig in Broad way, occupying the for mesr site of the New York This plot is now called middle Broadway, but when the hotel was built wii9 far up toufn.

It was then worth $100,000, but now ij of a sufficient busis (with the new buildin g) for a loan of $1,800,000. During the yellow feverof 1822 was so far distant that at: Bank of New York removed thither to. be out of town and directly iu the rear as the Potter's field (now Washington Square) where the Victims are buried. The New York hotel wliich occupied that plot recalls some striking instances of the mutations of society. It was built by Hickson AV.

Field and after his death enriched his family, being then worth a million, but the property has been sold and the money spent, ay ad recently one of his heirs was glud to get a berth, in the sub treasury. THE STTJAKT ESTATE. There were two grand estates so simi lar in pronunciation a to be often con founded one being ''Stewart" while the other is "Stuart." '1 ho first was ac cumulated by the cmcb famous dry eoods king, while the other was the labors of the'sugar kings, II. L. nnd A.

Stuart, These great estates were made from small beginnings, au'd both have passed away, leaving aootuer lesson of thetran sitary nature ofjt.ll ternestml affairs. The executors of the Stuarts have paid to various heirs and charities more than four and a half millions and have still on hand three quariers of a wllion. Their fees win amount to wnicn is more than the entire wealth of the concern dur ing the first half century. It was founded by a fugitive fleeing from his creditors whose sole capital was his trade. He opened a candy shop and attracted chil dren by tho libetrality of his cents worth of taffy and his, wife nnd boys tended shop while he boiled molasses in the kitchen.

Such was the way in which Kinloch Stuart built up his business which ho bequeathed to his two sons, (Robert and Alexander.) who reached distinction as confectioners. D. CHEAKED IMPORTANCE. As wealth flowed upon them they became extensive sugar refiners and it was this sptcialty which made them so immensely rich. On reaching old age they retired and Alexander left his property to his brother Robtrt, who bequeathed it to his widow and her spectators are now making final distribution on an estate which was started nearly ninety years t.go on the cent taffy trade.

The Stuarts leave no descendants for Alexander died a bachelor and Itobert had no children. Ihey were always plain people nna never sought entry into high life. Alexander had rooms next to the refinery and Robert lived for many years in me aaiacent nouse, Dut eventu ally moved to i'ifth avenue. They were church going people, highly benevolent and life a good example one feature in which is decidedly worth notice. Kin loch Stuart devoted his first earnings to uis creditors in Scotland and paid them in full and Alexander Stuart showed me with pardonable pride their receipt for $7,5000 which was the first fruit of the taffy trade.

PERSONAL MATTERS. liussell Sage has been much annoyed by the report that he was displeased with (xeorge Orould for his protracted absence, The annoyance indeed was so great that he has taken special pains to contradict It. He wis afraid that George would be led by this baseless rumor to hurry home. lrue, Ueorge has important interests which require attention, but this is bis only chance (for a long time) to take a vacation, and when he returns he will bo obliged to stick to business as a life work. No man of the same years ever held so great a number ot important offices as George Gould, and indeed the case of his wealth alone were a sufficient burden.

One risk, however, in foreign life may have occasioned itusseii sage more than ordinary ODXieiy, in behalf of bis young frieud. He is well aware of the efforts made by the British gentry to induce rich Americans to maka Great Britain their home. He has seen Woldorf Astor captured and iield there and how melancholy it would be were George Gould to share the same fate I Hence Sage is probably glad that the Yigiland has been defeated. Anything to disgust George with foreign life aud bring him back to business. METROPOLITAN MISCELLANIES.

Tho Heralds' free ice fund received more than $2,000 from the shooting exhibition given by coujuror Herrman at one of our theatres and yet none of the papers. except the Herald, alluded to it. It is evident that they do not iuteud giving Benntet any free advertising, but certainly it was wonderful to see trained marksmen firiog bullets at the conjuror which he caught in his hand. This is a trick which defies all conjecturo and the identity of the bullets is proven by marks made by the sharp shooters previous to loading. "How does he do it?" is tho general exclamation, but perhaps he may eventually reveal the secret.

While such a volley proves in this instance perfectly harmless, death comes to others in strange aud unexpected ways. Here for instance is the nitric acid case which is the only one of the kind on record. A quantity of this acid being accideutly spilt the fumes were iuhaJed for a few moments by a bystander aDd proved fatal in spite of medical attendance. Death however, in a great city is constantly taking new and unexpected shapes. MARKET NOTES.

One of the curious featuns in our market is the immense exteut reached by some of what may be called tho "little items" of traffic. Here, for instance, is canary seed which forms such au immense aggregate that although the present stock is 4,000 bushels it is uone to large for tho market. The crop last year wis uearly a half million bushels and ail found sale. What an immense number there must be of theso little songsters. Another interesting article is oleomar gerine which though comparatively a new feature iu trade is making tremendous progress as is evident from the following figures.

Iu l(js7 the manufacture mid sale during the whole year wus 723,948 pounds which was considered large, tmt during lust year the figures rose to 3.883 144 pounds, with prospect of still great'. increase. MELONS AND NUTS. The melon trade has also reached an immense extent and is now one of the most important features in the South, as may be seen by tbe fact that 270 carloads were received here in one week being nearly forty a day Sundays included. It is evident that hard as times may be.

people will eat water melons and I do not blame them. Boys too will Pave their Brazil nuta an ph et extent which this little item baa reached is shown by the fact that 45,000 bags have been received since tbe opening of the year, had largo importations will lake place oHrhig the coming sea son Speaking of little items, here is a man who has been fhping all the season for the New York A'guarium, his chief ob I jeci being marine curiosities, thoujrh. of course, ho does riot refuse other game. He has captured aome very interesting specimens, including two huge fishing trogs. weiehmc eurhtv nounda.

also monster skate, foir feet from tip to tip, and a number of ea ravens, with other rarities, which add interest to tbe colloo tion. LUNATIC MOVEMENTS. Old Bloomiogdal lunatic asvlum will soon be tenantless ibd all its unfortunate population will be to the new' asylum forty miles distaut. The old asylum was erected about seventy five years ago anu his sheltered a greater number of patienti than any other institution in the coimtrv. Nearly fifty acres of land were purchased, the value then being about $500 the acre.

At present, however, every acre is woith $150,000, and henci the aggregate value is 175,000,000. rendering it the best en dowed of all our nsylums. It is not a charity and the cost of treatment is from $7 to S40 a week, ac cording to rooms and attendance. he charity asylumOs on Warda Island whose horrors have recently been ex Dos ed by the press. Une of the most interesting incidents connected with the Bloomiagdalo asylum was tho visit Kean nlado for the nu'rnose of noting the various phases of insanity.

He was la vine Lear and wanted to studv from nature. After making sufficient observations he was invited to view the prospect from the roof and while there was seized with a sudden impulse to cast himself to the crouud. but was restrained by the attendance. It may be added that Dr. Brown who for many year was the resident rjhvsicinn became himself insaue and never recovor ed.

The continued contact with this class of patients wrought mental destruo tion and he became tho saddest wreck on the Bloomingdale record. CHINESE GLINTS. The war in which China is now en gaged calls our attention to Celestial in terests in this city. I can remember the time when a Chinaman was a curiositv. but now one meets them at almost every turn.

It is indeed estimated that there are 12,000 Chinameu iu this city, to which is to be added a proportionate number in Brooklyn, Jersey City and other suburbs. They have for some years controlled the laundry business and are a thrifty class notwithstanding their inveterate habits of gambling and opium eating. The Chinese aro wonderful economists. Thev live on rice and tea aud the cost of clothing one of them rarely exceeds ten dollars a year. They herd together iu crowded rooms, sleep together in bunks and one cook will serve for fifty and perhaps more.

They nave mree joss temples and also a judicial system among themselves with a head officer or "mayor," who settles their mutual troubles. The piace where these proceedings are held is an upper story of the Mott street joss house, and the "mayor" is elected auuually, his salary being $500. which to them is a princely income. The Joss building is utilized to its extreme capacity, for the first story is a Chinese grocery, the second storv a res taurant, wuilethe basement is a gambling shop, which is crowded nightly by Celestial blacklegs, while their tapers are burning in the Joss bouse, being prayers for luck. OTHER DETAILS.

Mott street is the center of Celestial worship and the three Joss bouses are within stone's cast of each other. There is iudeed a rivalry among the worshin pers and while one Joss is patronized by the gamblers, another has the laundry men, and the third also has its special patrons, but the gamblers' joss does the best business, for there are nearlv one hundred "fantan joints" (gambling holes) and policy shops. Gambling indeed is a universal practice, and yet, though the players ate often cleaned out, they never commit suicide, but plod on to earn more money for another trial of luck. Chinatown was at first limited to Mott street, but the Celestial population gradually extended and now absorbs Pell street and Doyer street, both small and well adapted to their purpose. There is a Chinese theatre in JJoyer street, but it is poorly patronized, for the eambliuar holes are a far greater attraction.

Heiice it is probable that the manager will have next season a fantan annex, which will draw better than any Chinese star. The occasional appearance of the Chinese among police arrests render it necessary to have an interpreter, paid bv the city, but only under pay when iu service. Lookine at thk class as combattants one can only conclude that they would be very poor soldiers, and heuce in the present war the Japanese will triumph that is, if our Chinatown be tho rule of judgment. SHOES CHINESE AND FRENCH. The Chinese make their own shops which, being of cloth, are easily put together.

In wet weather, however, they are obliged to wear rubbers, but thnv dislike a leather shoe, and this dislike is also found among the lower class of our population, which prefers thn sabot to any other footwear. This leads me to say that in the center of the French district (as it is called) one mav find ashon shop different from all others in the city iii ia uuuuuui a duuuii lauiury, ana ll luO reader wishes a pair and will call at No. 27 South Fifth avenue ho will be accommodated in tho best possible manner. Hourtoul takes your measure and then selects a pair of block of suitable size which he scoops out and also puts in external shape, end then you must acquire the peculiar knack of retainina foot hold. They have neither string nor strap, but a Frenchman will keep them on, while an American would soon drop them.

Hour toul says that leather is no protection in wet weather and also that rubbers tend to foot disease, so that one has his choice between rheumatism and bunions, but tbe sabot is always dry and healthy. Some of his customers, however, prefer leather, with wooden soles, and he therefore does that kind of work so chiefly for Italian laborers. A pair of sabots costing $2 will last six months of hard wear ou the sidewalk aud hcncis are far cheaper than leather, nnd also preferably in point of health, but notwithstanding these advantages it. is hardlp probable that they will come iuto general use. OTHER SCENES This reference to the poor leads me to notice the effuuts made iu behalf of a class whose immensity and whose destitution seem appalling.

I have however only space to mention what is called tho "College settlement'' in Rivington street where a number of devoted young women are engaged in an arduous so rvice. An important feature in improving the poor is to teach them thrift and hence a penny savings bank was started and it has al THE SCKANTOU REPUBLICAN. SATURDAY MOBNING, AUGUST 11, 1894. ready five hundred dealers, whose deposits range from one cent to two dollars. A library of 1,900 volumes has been eatab lished and during one year 10.000 books were drawn out.

To eucournge the love or reading, little home libraries were formed. They consist of a small book case judiciously filled and placed in some tenement bouse for tbe use of readers and to this is added the "children's circulating game closet" from which games are loaned to tho children for a specified time. Religious services are held on Sunday and there is a kindergarten for small children and also a gymnasium for those of larger growth. Upon the whole, this effort is of such a commendable character that it is offered as an example to all who cherish a similar purpose. It may be added that the word "college" in this connection is used ia its original meaning of association and it is certainly one of the most valuable of colleges.

WEST SIDE. A large number of the citizens Bellevue held a meetinsj last evening it the Baptist Sunday school house to dis cuss and consider several matters of im portance concerning water, street car fare and taxes. The meeting was called to order by Chairman JUr. John Hale, who echoed the sentiments of those present relative to the water supply fur nished that section Moosic Water company. Considerable complaint was heard of the manner in which the company treats its patrons.

On one occasion this month the water was "shut off" for out teen hours, and on another day for ten hours without due notice Other instances have occurred. The inconvenience that families have to undergo by such actions by tho water company is almost unbearable. Messrs. EvanEvaus, Robert Owens and Reese Davis were ap pointed a committee to wait on tne company to endeavor to secure better service in the future. The subject of school taxes aroused the most interest on account of the lack of school facilities in the district since the destruction of the school house about a year ago.

Since the above time no movement on the part of either township or city has been made to erect a school building. Tax Collector Butler has notified all tax payers of the locality to pay their taxes to him, as representative of the township within thirty days. The chairman made a few very pointed remarks on the subject, and on motion the chair appointed a cnmmitteo consisting of Messrs. Evan Evans, William T. Williams and Edward Harris to employ an attorney to take the necessary steps to serve an injunction on the tax collector restraining him from collecting school taxes.

This movement is expected to settle the dispute as to who possesses the right to them, the city or township. The question of single street car fare was afterward warmly discussed, there being only one side to tha question "That we are being imposed upon by the Traction company." As tbe chairman remarked: "They have been granted the valuable franchise aud right to take up the best part ot our main thoroughfare. what do we get in Pay a ten cent fare to any part of the city. But according to a reliable authority, they can collect ntty cents, it they cnoose to, according to their charter. Messrs.

John Hale, John D. Phillips and John S. Davis were named as a committee to nsk the Traction company for only a five cent fare to the city line. The meeting then adjourned to again convene on Friday evening of next week, at the same place. Mrs.

Walter Price, of Avenue Bellevue, has returned from a visit to Ocean Grove. Mr. William T. Morgan, son of Wil liam T. Morgan of Bellevue, was one of the numeroui excursionists who went to Mountain Park with the American Protestant association.

Whilo hanging on a rope attached to a swing he lost his grasp and fell heavily to the ground dis locating his right wrist and was other wise badly bruised. He was brought home on a special train and Dr. L. II. Gibbs called to attend to his injury.

Mr. John Jones, proprietor of the old Dennebaum hotel on Jackson street, was the victim of a peculiar accideut yesterday. He was handling a dynamite cartridge when it suddenly exploded, nearly blowing oil the top of his fingers of his right hand. Dr. M.

J. Williams was immediately called and relieved him of his suffering. Mr. John J. O' Grady of the French Roof hotel, the well known Irish comedian, left yesterday for New York where he will accept a ten month's engagement withMackak's Millionaire Comedy company.

Tbe Great Match Between Welch anri Dando, the Leading Amateur Trap Shooters of the World. XT JA nivtiiTon. n. Aue. iu Tha sev enth live bird shooting match in the series ior tue mverton challenge plate was shot nero to aay on tue grounds of the liiver vuu vjud ciuo.

me contestants were Robert Welch, the holder of the plate ana i nomas o. uanrlo, tlio challenger, both members of the Riverton Gun club. lie conditions of the match were 100 birds each, 30 yards rise and 30 varrls 1 1 xir uoiiHciary. weicii won the contest by killing 91 of his 100 birds while Dando missed ten of his quota. considerarjio interest was taken in the match from the fact that Dando is re garded as one of the crack shots of the uiuu, luiiui uerve anu a sure snot in a mutcu.

Welch used his second barrel sixty times to kill, while Dando used his fifty lire times. The short boundary played havoc with Dundo, who had six of his birds to drop dead directly out of the bounds, while Welch only had three. It will thus be seen that all other conditions being similar with the fifty yard boundary Dando would have won tho match by two birds. Tho first 25 birds were a typical summer lot, Dando killed his 25 straight, while Welch had tho misfortune to miss three of his first lot, one of which dropped dead directly out of bounds. Fortune and skill changed on the next 25, as AVclch killed his straight, whilst Dando missed five.fourof which fluttered aud died immediately over the network of the boundary line.

Dando lost his form on the next quota of birds and failed to kill four, Welch missing three. It was thought that the match was practically decided, but by Welch missing three on the last 25 the score tied on the 9lst bird, but Dando's 91st bird dropped dead out of bounds so the conclusion was now a certainty as each killed his last 9 birds straight.
