CONSnniNATION IN OIIKSriMl. The news or the assignment of Jehn Keach, the eler.m bhip-bullder, full upon (Jhcster Sunday morning llke a thunderbolt. New spapers wero oagerly bought osheoh as the report bad become circulated. Groups of men could be seen standing en the streets reading the reports te anxious listeners, and discussing the situation with much earnest ness. Tlmt it is mi unparalleled blew te Chestcr thore Is no doubt. Ne place in the city employs se many hands and disttibtttes se much meney ever v wcek. On Saturday between 57,000 and 5S.000 wns paid te tome--thing-ever 700 men. This is only half the pay-roll of geed times. Uptoeno year nge the weekly wages of the men amounted te 15,000 and sometimes mere ever n dollar te each man, woman nnd child in tlie rlty. Te cut that off cannot help being felt most disas trously. The cntlre suspension of work at tlie yard, v. hlch Is considered sure te fellow, will work hardship te a great many families dependent en the place for bread, for It is almost imposslble te get work nny where olse. Many el tlie workmen hnvestri en te own their homes, nnd dread the foreclosure of inortgages and less" of their savings which seem inniitnble. Ily the poeplo of Chet-tor the ralluio.isnlmestunauliuouslyattrlbiitcd te the recent action of Secretary Whltney. Men of all shades of politics are bitter in their de nunciations, ami the administration lias np parchtly few friends left In Chester. On Saturday the foremon of the dlilerent depart ments wero called together, and it was do de do cided te lay eir about -100 men. They w ill be iwid the lour days wrges which is always held by the firm, and tlie place will'be praui. tlcally closed. Tlie government work will be virlll.lllv Rlisnpndfwl for (tin lir'smit. Tim men vtlie are retained will be sent ever te the merchant shin Cemal lying in the Jersey channel, te complete her theie. Her removal te that point was due te the assignment but it was doue under tlie direction of Captain Sploer, a member of the Mallo Malle ry cemimny, w he doubtless feared retncthlng nieru serious. Thore is yet about twomenths work remaining te be dene en the cruiser Bosten, nnd about eight mouths en the Chi cago, If it wero pushed, but tlie turn affairs have taken since Saturday, render it dllll cult te bay when they or tlie monitor Puritan will be completed. WHAT WHITNHV MAVS. Secretary Whitney paid : I de net think it will have any offect upon the government 1 am very berry for Mr. lteach. I am always sorry w hen a man falls Inte such dllliculty, but I da net bee that the failure can have any conslderablo oiled upon the government. Tlie government has only ene vessel in his ship-yard aud two at New Yerk building, but the amounts are nearly all paid en them. I saw in n morning aper that Mr. lteach thinks I am responsible for the trouble, or, at least, that I could glve 'relief,' but the goernmont ewes only the amount still due upon the Delphin, which would net be enough te put him upon a sure footing again. Tlie atl'alr is uufeitunatn, but I cannot help him. Yes, the lullure was a matter of sur prise in government as well as in business "circles ; but I cannot sce that It wilt have any great elfoet en the govenimont" Mr. Aaren J. Yandcrpeel is counsel for Mr. Keach. Te a reporter who saw him at tlie Manhattan club he stated: "Mr. Keach Is a very sick man. I should net be surprised te rccci e at any moment u mescage announc ing his death. He has been advised te place his n Hairs in the hands of trustees. Mr. Keach will pay every dollar he ewos ; he has two dollars ler every ene due his creditors. He Is a perfectly houest man, and no ene will leso anything through him. Should the courts decide he has no contracts with the government it will net suffer through him." jeiin iteAcn's L'.vni:i:n. llofero stat ting business ou hlsewn account Jehn Keach was foreman for tlie Allalre works, in New Yerk. He had a small capl til te commence w 1th, but his old ompleyors' iccommeudntien helped hltn-te-a modorate credit, and his natural force seen gave him prominence. Ills lacket method and ne glect of business obligations ter seme years of Ids early career ied many te under value him, although his gains during and sheitly after the war wero undoubtedly lnrne. In 1S07 he imrchosed the Meruan Iren works ler about 5-100,000. His pur pur chase included ninety-six city lets, 600 feet water Trout, and nil the buildings, tools, etc The purclmse of the Noptune works for f 150, 000 followed In 18iiS, and the Franklin forge In 1S70 forfl2e,000, as well as large property in Chcster, l'a., w here he subsequently put in operation the otensie works known as the Delaware Klver Iren Shlp-ltulldlngaud Kuglne works, n coriwatlen et w hlch Mr. Keach was the president nnd ewner. It was capitalized at 750,000. Jehn Keach commenced hulldlnir Iren Fliirs In 1871 or 1872, Since Unit tiiua no has built upward of f 10,000,000 worth ershlps and ship machinery. Tlie first ship was for II. C. Mnllery it Ce., for whom he subsequently built ten ethers. In all evor ene hundred luebeeu constructed and equipped through out. Theso wero ocean-going ships, and were built for merchants, tlie New Yerk und Brazilian Steamship company, of which Mr. Kearh was ene of tlie promoters, unit Is still a large stockholder; James 13. Ward's Cuban Steamship line, in w hlch he also holds stock ; tne Aioxanuer line, uiiancsteu uceau utoaiu uteaiu ship company and Oregan Storm Ntw igatlen company, lle was the builder of Washington i:. Cenner's yacht, Ktilus Hatch's Mavtield, und Yikiug, built Ter W. A. Scott und now new owned by SriuucI J. Tildeu J and the Yoso Yeso Yose mlte, constructed for William Ilelden, nnd new Kept for Mr. Hoach's own use. The vessels raugeil from 1,500 te -1,500 tens, and twenty-thrce are engaged In the foreign Jrade and the tonnage aggregates 02,000. Mr. Keach bays that 100,000 is new due him that the govenimont rofuses te ay. Within the last tliroe years there has been almost no new werlc doue In Hoach's yards. At present he has en hand no contracts or work wimtover, oxceptlng the new crulsers. His weekly pay roll was 11,000, the exact bum of money he paid out en Satur day afternoon when the works In New Yerk and in Chester slmt down. His failure was due te the utter lack or business, te the refusal of the government te pay the $100,000, audio tuocfieil of the govenimont te re cover the J 300,000 already paid, it . , it- : THE (WHAT BltOV IDLE. Jehn Reach's New Yerk Workmen Retaking Verj Kindly or Illni. Nkw Yeiik, July 20. Te-day for the first tlme in 18 years the masslve machinery in the great shop of Jehn lteach & Seu lay ldle en n working day. Numbers of workmen, neatly dressed, steed around tlie various workshops discussing the recent failure of their employers, but no great anxlety soeniod te treuble thorn. Passing from ene llttle group te anether only kindly words wero heard of their boss, nnd every where the opinion seomed te prevail that they would all seen be at their tools and cngtnes again. One muscular young workman Bald te n United Press rcporter: "It docs net worry tne at all. We -will be at work again bolore long, but as It Is 1 don't object te it llttle vacation. Mr. lteach is ene of the kindest or masters, nnd I should be sorry net te work for him again. He was always Indulgent te his men. Thore was novernny dispute evor our wages, nnd we always get what was our due. Yeu will And nene of his men who will speak a word against Jehn lteach or his son Gnrrett" A furluer talk with subordinates nnd foremen cenfirmed the speaker's words. Howevor qulet It appeared In the streets around the workshops and decks overyeno was busy beh hid the railing In the main ofllce, and within the llttle prhate apartment wherothe great shlp-bulldcr lias given audi ences te his callers for many years, and whero he has planned the enormous Heet of vossels which have reamod every ocean en tlie glebo, oxpert loekkcopors wero figuring up tlie accounts or the firm under the decisions of the nssignoes, Messrs. Quintird aud Weed. Oarreltand Slophen W. Keach wero thore togethor with Invycr lloekstator, who lias been retained as conn cenn conn sel, Mr. Jehn Keach himself being confined te his heuse at Cel lege Point, L. I., sulTering from completo nerveus prostration, conse quent upon the calamity which lias over taken him. His oxpcSed howevor that he will be able te be out In few days. Mr. Gar rett Keach ropresontod flie firm at the con ference aud in speaking of the assignment said : "Thore is llttle for me te tell at present ai everything Is In tlie hands of the as signees, x cannot cstimate our liabilities or assets, except te guarantce that overy dollar which Is due will be paid." Mr. Keach deprecated and stigmatized In tlie strongest tonus many reports of the dlsaster which has appeared in the public prints, and said, "al though my fat 1 1 or been suffering from the ollects of malaria fover lu his fsystem for a long tlme, he no vor used chloral or any thing erthat nature The trouble Is that he has net taken niediclue enough. Mr.liookhta Mr.lieokhta Mr.lioekhta dor, tholawyer, showed himself long enough te deny seme of the statements horetoforo published. "It is net true" he said "that Mr. Win. Kowland, or New Brunswick, N. .7., who appcira as ene of Mr. Reach's pre ferred creditors, was made se by reason of his position as bondsman for Mr. Reach's government work. He was preferred sim ply In the regular course of business, for meney due. All the bondsmen i 111 fare with tlie general creditors." A l-aw Which Cannet lie I'lifencil from the riilladclplit-v Times. -The fact that no hteps have been taken looking te the execution of the law te pro hibit the manufacture or the compound known ns oleeinargarino demonstrates anew hew difficult, even te impossibility, it Is te onferco such statutes when they lolate te m tides necessarily harmful in themselves. It was right and necessary that laws regula ting or restricting the sale of olcemarglno or buttcrlne as real hutter should be enacted -and, when passei!,-it-was tlie dutyef execu-,1- tive omcers te sce mat tney were striciiy en forced. Hut te hepe or expect that a pro hibitory law should lH) enfeiccd was out of nil reason. As has been rencatedly jiolnted out thore Is no mere reason for prohibiting the manu facture or sale et an imitation of butter than there is for suppressing all imitations or geld or silver, or of Uie use of grained weeds for doers or furniture, or efa wooden Indian for u tobacconist's sign, or a wooden ham which tlie grocer hangs out evor the sidewalk. Thcse all have their place and are sold for what they are. If a Jowelor Is calight soiling pinchbeck for geld or si grocer should try te palm oil' upon ceiifldlni: customers a wooden ham ler a real one, each would be subject te prosecution and punishment The same is true or oleomargarine. Tlie law lightly directs that it shall be laboled and sold for what it is and any attempt te pass It off as butter Is subjected te sovcre ptmlshment The knowledgo that the law could go thus fur, but could net suppress the manufacture of it, because it was an imitation, has made tlie enforcement of the new enactment an iurpesslbillty. The claim that this new product inter feres with the rights or the pretlts of dairy men has no place In the argument It is u commercial product, which has ceme Inte oxistence because thore was a dciiiaud-fer ft It is cheap and wholesome, and many thou sands of peonle te whom butter is n luxury or an Impossibility because of its high price want te eat and de eat oleomargarine. Whero it Injures a dairyman it puts money Inte the pockets of the grower of cattle and swine, and thoreby helps ene branch of agricultural Industry qulte as much as it injures another. The law pro hibiting its manufacture or sale is simply another example of over-legislatlon. Anether Literary Feller. Francis II. Underwood, of llosten, who succeeds llret Ilarte as consul te Glasgow, is a Massachusetts Kepublican who supperted Cleveland last fall. He ewes his appoint ment te tiie fact that he is beuietlilng or n lit erary man, and such appointment was pre sumably deemed appropriate In fielectlng a successor te Ilret II art a He is unquestion ably a man of taste and seme literary ability, and has devoted much et his lifetline te lit erary pursuits. He was an asseciate editor or the Atlantic Monthly when" It was llrst starteu; lioeuiteu anaiiuboeic ei nioraiure, which is used in tlie publie schools ; he has written ene or two neels, which no vor achloved the honor or jwsslng Inte a second odltieu. His most recent literary work, and perhaps his best, Is a life of Longfellow, und be has for seme tlme been engaged en the lives of Oliver Wendell Helmes, Lewell, and Whittier, ascomiunleu Tolumes In a series of literary biographies. Socially Mr. Underwood Is popular In a literary set He is a lluent talker, and some thing efa ban vivant. It would probably be entirely safe te match him against any man in America as a salad mixer, and he can probably make n better bowl or punch than any ether man in tlie public hcrvice. In personal appearance Mr. Underwood Is striking. He is a widower, about CO years or age, well porserved, tall, square should ered, erect, nnd ruddy. He wears n lull white beard, and is suuve and courtly in his manners. He has been out or health or late, but he Is new en the mend. lle Ilmt Tut Ills t'lpe lu Ills rocket.

Tlie Inhabitants of Seymour, Conn., and vicinity are much exercised In miudmer the oxistence lu that town of a veritable hatinted heuse, und theso who have occasion te pass the place after nightfall de se with quickened pulses and a fear that they may sce something that would cause fright at least It Is he ho he leoed that In the llttle brown heuse whero Jehn SullUan and his wife were found dead last winter, after having been undiscovered for at least 30 hours, thore Is some strauge and torrible socret, and that Instead of Its being, as seme suppesed, a case or dcuble suicide, perhaps both Sullivan aud his wife wero murdered in cold bleed. Fer seme tlme pest timid people have hinted that all Is net right In the lenely llttle place. Twoerthreo families have occupied the place slnce the tragedy, aud they at once moved out and away, and reticent as te tlie causes, only saying that they de net care te llve there. Finally it transpired that the llrst ramlly wero annoyed by rtrange noises. Tlie second family heard all sorts of super natural sounds, and se did the third family, and it would be exremely difficult new for tlie owner te get a tenant Yeiy recently a young man was riding along In company with a young lady, when she suddenly guve a shriek of terror and convulsively seized him by the arm. He hastily asked he what she meant, and as seen as she could regain her composure she said that she saw the form of a woman en the roer wildly waving Its hands. Her companion tried te make her bolievo that thore was nothing in it, but she in sisted, and still Insists, that she saw the start ling spectre. He made up his mind that be would sift the mystery te the bottom, and the next night, in company with thrce or four reliable friends, he visited the spot Wlille they saw nothing, they assert that they heard many noises that lu their opinion must be ascribed te supernatural causes. There are but few agnostics and but n mere optimists In Seymeur. They are mostly pes simists and inauy linn bollevors in ghosts and hobgoblins. What will be the ouicemo remains te be seen. TJIJi V.
