TI1E DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY. JANUARY 5, 18G9. 5 t NEW YORKISMS. Tion Our Own Oorrttpondent. Nw York. Jan. 4. W89. In a financial polut of view, the month that lsjuvtover la almost parallel with the corres ponding month of 18G7 tho number of sus pensions being a little in excess. The number of failures In the city 1 estimated at 111; that of the country at large at 4450, or about eighteen times as great. If what the pollttonl economists of Bohemia ray be true, the po r and rich alike bave encouragement for the present year. It la well that some one should always be pointing out to somebody else what be has to be thaokful for. The rich may go down on their marrowbones, in that an adrnuce In commerclul values msy be anticipated; the poor may throw up their hats in the know ledge that grocers aud provision dealers will re lotia be compelled to abate their prices. The World is progressing tu Its AKTI- ADtTLTERATI VB WOBK The editor of that journal never eaU any thing at all. Manton Marble eubjists entirely on metaphysics and alliteration, and every man connected with the establishment baa joined a inilk-diel association which keeps Us own con. The employes of the Astor House and of the TFcr'd newspaper are on the most cordial terms The World1! latest and m.st gigantic discovery In behalf of this slnlul and adulteratlve genera tion la In regard to the Acarus Sacchari, a malevolent insect which Infests noreSned sugar and Is the originator of that lively disease known as the "Grocer's Itch." In every pound of Unrefined sugar about 100,000 of these luscct are supposed to reside. In exposing these realities the MoWd blasts one's belief lu the beautiful. Henceforth every man, woman, and child is onv au accumulation of mouldy sea biscuit, c.hlckory, turmeric, benzine, "mid tilings," and so forth, mixd in different propor tions. The good livers are no better off thau the bad, for variety of victuals only Introduces variety of poison. It we except the "John Alleu Sensation, " nothing like the World's Autt Adulte ralive Sensation has been created in this city belore. THE BROOKLYN Bill DOB s becoralotr acclimatized to the public mlud. Already It is one of several. W leso the years and span East river with half-a-dozen pas-sage-ways. The tunnel a as ceased to be talked of. New Tort and Brooklyn are to become one, With one Mayor and one Interest. Tne bridge.' points or junction are the intersection of Chit ban and Centre streets iu this city, and ol Main and Fulton streets in Brook ljn. The ferries are already looked upon as but a time-honored nui ance. Tbey are all but spokeu of as Inventions of the past as an antediluvian evil, despised by juodcrn enterprise. THE SKATING RINKS have ben largely visited during the past week. The now Empire Skating Kink, built on u mam moth scale, is the oue most patronize 3. 1 have already mentioned its dimensions and the almost blinding brilliancy which results at Bight from its 700 gas jet. The great feature of the seasou, hitherto, wai the prize race for boysou Saturday morning the first of a series of Saturday prize-races when adolescent boys' skateriully inclined, are presumed to oe free from imprisonment under de.-k, birch and blackboards. The first ruce was for boys under twelve, the second for thore between twelve and cixtcen, the highest prize of the first bjinj $5 and of the second $8. Roller-ska'.in? is also very fashionable this jear, though a lady or peutlemnn may be an accomplished roller-skater, and a dead failure on ice. There are twa public rinks In this city devoted exclusively to rollrr-skating. Thee are the Citizens' Hkatiusr Association, at the liar' vard Rooms, at the intersection of Forty-secoud street aud Sixth avenue, aud the New York Skating Association, at Plympton's Bjildmp, at the corner of Stuyvesaot and Ninth streets. SNOW-STORM AHD HORSI-FLBSH like youth and crabbed age, cannot live together At least they find It very hard work to. If there is a horse heaven, Mr. Bergh will be its tutelary saint. During the past seven days be has him self been workinsr almost as hard a the agonized "cnttile" wjleh he befriends. This year, however, he has improved on bis sys'.em. He makes fewer arrest, relies less upon tlm precarious justice of police courts, and details detective at the termini of the various routes, whe see that every, team is doubled as long as the streets remain in their present condition Conductors aud drivers are not always, perhaps sot generally, the first to abuse him. Pat aengeis and horse-car proprietors have the largest lund of explosive) stored away and kept in waiting for him. TUI TRAGIC FATS of BIr. Rogers, the old trcntleman who was stabbed the other day while swesping his pave ment at seven o'clock in the morning, is point ing a moral to nervous heads of families. "I think Mary (the servant) must be stabbed,'' was the remark I heard oue of these make to an other, yesterday, at bnakiast. "Why. my dear?'' asked matcrfomiliaa, looking up from the coffer-urn In suddeu terror. "Why, the last I saw of her, half-au-hour ago, she was sweep ing dowu ihe front-door steps.'' ( Mr, Rogers died on Saturday. A rewird of ; $500 has been offered by the police authorities for the arrest ot the murderer. On dit that the police authorities know nbo it Is. If w, why lo they not arrest him and why do they ofler $500? My own impression is that they know little and do less. The only clue is a torn en velop1, marked with "Jams Locrao, N. V. Cyty, this will be handed you by Tom." TRB KIFTH WARD I'OLICI, if we are to ludge by a few specimen, arc the most demoralized in the city. Ine artistic per lection wiln which the? are in the habit of . clubbing delinquents halt dead is gradually being brought to light. Their la'.est exploits lu this direction have been on the body of a Dr. Augustus Diecks, who, with his leg broken jus above the ankle, was picked up insensible in West Broadway. Iu this condition a police brute uamed Jacobus to 'A him to the station bouse, where another police brute named Christie ordered htm to be locked up. Tor eight hours he remulned imprisoned lu Lelpleas -sgouy, when the magistrate before whom he was brought bent hiiu home In a curiiuge, and -reprimanded the polieerneu ! Au Investigation of the New York BTA1B INEBRIATE ASYLUM at Bingbauiton is earnestly called for by Mr J. Edwsrd Turnor, of this city. The gent'emau Insists that the article lately published by Mr, Farton in the At an'ic Mon h'y, entitled "A Visit to an Inebriate Asylum, " reded seriously oi ka integrity vl tU'CWCi rri'.U'J, iiul be.' Governor Iloffmao's attention to the perjury which he (Mr. Turoer) says is contained in the contradictory affidavits of Dr. Wtllard Parker the present President of that Asylum. "opmbt" brdvobd, the newly-elected City Judge, will take, tho bench this morning, and alt during the January term, holding court in the rooms of the Su preme Court, General IVrm. until the altera tions iu the Sessions Chamber are completed. OBAU AMD BATHMAN are figuring out the seaion on a zigzag line, with varying success. Batomau produces Li rerichott this evening; Orau, JfQM Crevc on Thursday. The name of Tostce Is heard no more. That "severe fall" has snatched her away, like a leaf borne down by the storm, and the advertisement complncntly slate that Irma is the first of vocalist upon tho French stage. Lambele occa-ionally attempts the "Duchess," but that la not Toitee. Kelly & Zeon have shook the world Of New York ruinstrollsn to its foundation by the an nouncement that they are Rolng to Kurope. LA COTER1B grand fancy dress hop is announced for Wednes day evening wc.'k at the Academy of Music. It is gotten up by the gentlemen connected with the offices of the Astor House, St. Nicholas, Kifth Avenue, Hoffman, aud Coleman House. The decorations are going to bo crush of hing ing birds, perfumed fountains, chandeliers fancy gas jets, bouquets, wreaths and floral emblems. It ill probably be the ball of the period, and I may confidently predict that every Irresistible variety of the Girl ot the Period will be present. Messrs. Abel and Rlsley are lovely ad plea sant in their live, and in their death let us hope they may not be divided. Ali Baba. IIARRISBURU. J oil Clark Njcaker of the House.

Hla eleoliou lu u House embracing Hlxty-one Republican la, of cuurau, beyond a uount, aud we are highly gratified at this most sensible and patriotic selection. John Oiark ia now forty-seven rears old, tempered and aevened by actual contact wit li the business world from early manhood. He was born in the old ctty or Philadelphia, oa the llfiteuth day of November, 1821. HixedU' cation was everything the pnnno schools of the city could afford nothiug more, nothing lets, except that gained in lutetcourso with the practical world. Kor many years hla business avocation was that of a contractor ou the great pnbllo works of the couairv. lu tnls capacity bo wan employed ou the IVnnsylvtu nia Cent rnl and Kortri Pennsylvania Unit r aiia. He waa also enug-d ou tbe great water tvoiks of Kew Yorlc aud Bos ton.

Ills select lou unuer ine cirriunsmuces it iuo more pkaslutr, both to himself and to the pub lic, from tbe fact that, be never sought tho office towbiohbe Is elected. He does not owe hla position te any, even the usual.appliances of the politician. He has nut pledged himself IOr a Single Ollim wuum uin Kilt, nuu iucio- lore need not tear oQeudlns parlies claiming promises made and unfulfilled. Mr. Utraug, who it wnR thought would make a sturdy flgut, H7it h t.h Hflcracll.v and eood nature whloh ouar- acterlze blm graoefully yielded to his oppo nent wltbont a struggle on nis arrival uere, after a brief survey or tbe Held ot action, and this to tbe disappointment of bis wannest friends, who urged him to take a decided stand in bis own behalf. Mr. Strang declared be wonld just as soon see bis lriend Clara: elected as birubelf. Mr. Clark's direction of tbe (speakership of tbe House can hardly fall to be a siitttka. A STRANGE CASE. A Hnnler without any Motive. A murder trial in England baa recently Illus trated, in a very shocking manner, tbe liability of juries to convlut innocent men, even of u capital crime. In August last, a laborer named CcrnlNh waa found murdered in a field near tbe city of Wells, in Uomeraetsbire, bis nead beateu in with a atone, and a man named Blsgrove kneeling beside blm. The story told by Ibla person on bis arrest waa, mat oeing aruuK. iha niiiht before and finding CornisU asleep on tbe ground, be bad goue to sleep by bit side, and on waking uau seen a tun man lnineaotot commuting iu uiuruer, xi, wan ascertained tbat another laborer named Hwe et, aud his mistrtts, a woman called Drew, bad been In company Willi bpib ltisgrove and Cornish up to very near tbe time of the mur der. Both were arrested. Tbe woman being called as a wanes tor the Crown, tealilled that sue bad quarrelled with sweet, uad gone with lilsgrove uione into tne noui auu leu unu mere aitn tbe Bleeping Coin inn, and bad thau re iolued Sweet and remaiuc-d In bis company 'until bom were at rested. Her story was sup iostd to be au Invention lor tbe purpose of screening uer pafHLuonr .swut, and tne jury tvlileuily believeu tuai tuu quarrel uau oc curred between lh two prisoners an I the mur dered man, and bad btsen prompted i y itxtlousy. Sweet aud 1'.ik ve were botu loutid guilty; !tt no 8oouer hAil tliey teen remanded to jail than Ulfgrove maile a cnulfsslouenilrely esoi eraling tSaeet,and eurroburaliug tbe woman's story. Tbe conlosslon reveals oue of tbe moBtexlraortf Inury cases of murder without Htij motive I bat ever came to our knowledge. Tbt murderer hud none lo sleep by bis victim's sale. "Wbeu 1 waliiil up," said be, "I waa iioiugaway, but komeibitig teemed to tell me I must murder that man. aim then I went over to the river aud (runt lite s'.one aud brought it over on my bead, and I nrowed It dowu ou the man's bead. " Whatever made me do it i cau t tbli k. It was uoi lor monoy. 1 bad no thought of money." Now the rouvlcilon r.f Bweet on aoharge of which he was fciitiitly luneent cuuuot be elaisedwltb tho mimakrH of cltoumstantlal evidenoe, lc it iloi r not appear lUut there waa any clrcniustaunal evidence against him at all, except tbe bare fact that be waa in com pany with tho deenasrd a little while before the deed must bave been committed. He seems to have been convicted because, tbe Jury wanted to find a motive for tbe deed, audcnuld not find oue without dragging blm in. They made op tuelr theory of the murder, and not bt lug able to act it out with a single culprit, tiny had to secure a second oue. Fortunately tbe ixior man's ionooeuce is mude clear before the time uau come lo bung blm. A'. T. Tr.bune. pOR THE HOLIDAYS. CHOICE WINKS, WniftKIKS. .
