The vote then cast was whether Carbon county should be a local option county or not, It was decided In the negative- by a multitudinous majority. The lone now bofora the people stands no com parison to the Issue of 1873, It calls for en. tire prohibition and the ruin ef many mil lion of dollars worth of private property, The questlen of prohibition without com- pentatlon Is a para! oil to the abolition of slavery.

LETTER Is all thy greatness shrunk to this little measure ? Snakuptar 0 Friday last atLeavetts' Art Rooms on Broadway, the posthumous remains of Les ter "Wallack passed under the anctloneer's hammer. There have been many greater and better men. men of larger acquirements, men whose lives baye left a more marked Impress on the age and body of tbe time, bnt there are few in his own country who have held so conspicuous a place In the public eya and who succeeded In getting sncb an ample reward for whatever talent he might possess. Ho came from a race of actors; the acting instinct was in his blood, and It nover left him on or off the stage He was always on poise and as careful of the effects he would create at the cafe while discussing his pate at Delmonlco's as ha was while figuring on the stago of his own the atre In Roscdale or Don Ca:sar. His vanity never deserted him; tottering towards sev enty In his afternoon walks along the west side of Broadway ha strove by artificial aid to keep the same erect port as when he di vided the honors of the paye with the hand some Georgo Jordan forty years ago. Do (he spirits of those who have crossed the Jordan's stormy tide have cognizance of the things that go on In this little planet of oursf If they do, Lester Wallack's ghost must haye passed an exceedingly uncom fortablo afternoon last week as he saw his vreclous vestments and relics knocked off for lass than is usually bid for a second class hand-me-down. Imagine Don Ccetar after his transformation, gallant In silks, velvets and feathers, booted and spurred bis Andre Ferrara gleaming by his side, Ah, met It was, indeed, a gallant sight A I close my eye I can see him now; can hear the ringing cheer that greets hi coming: I can almost bear th heart beats ef the delighted maidens who exclaim : "Ob, oh! ain't he too sweet for anythlngl" And to he was, a prince of the blood In his realm. Think of all this splendid garniture going under the auctioneer's hammer for seven dollars 1 Mercy on me, but It's a ter rible fall! Don Felix for five dollars; Elli ott Grey for seven dollars and seventy-five cents; Hamlet for two and a quarter, it possible? Is It possible? Why, I recollect the time, and that not so' many years ago, when one of his old shoes or a ragged pock et-handkerchlef belonging to him would have brought more than this, when sighing tonne maidens and eyen married ladles had bis photo framed In gold upon their dress ing casts, and It was said some of tbem had little altars made where candles were kept constantly burning before his loved effigy. The gaping crowd ttood around and exam ined each article critically; there was no sentiment In It whatever, not the least; thay wanted their money's worth and they got It. Occasionally there was a slight rip ple among the crowd, which was mostly composed of actors and old clo' men, when tome relic was pat np linked with the gold en past ft dagger of Edwin Forrest's, a sword of Keau's, a doublet that belonged to George Frederick Cook and some relics of the elder Wallack. But enthusiasm was dead dead as Wallack himself and the entire lot that had cost thousands upon thousands of dollars, costumes which the fvrerltellctor had racked the resources of his fertile brain In designing, brought less than a paltry seven hundred. ' Ant to pasits another marked character frost the stage of our dally life. The tbiea theatres that once bore his name bear It no more; the first has given way to the de mands of commerce and Its site is covered by magaiftcent wholesale dry goods stores, The other has changed Its name tq the Star; and the last, which was built expressly for htm and was Intended to be the abiding home of fashionable drama, passed from his bands after a series of financial dltas ters which brought blm to tbe vergeof ruin. So that after a successlonal professional life of over forty years, during which be re ceived greater rewards for his services than the people of the United States pay tbelr President, ho was only saved from want In k his latter days by tbe considerate kindness ef professional friends, who, bearing of bis needs, got him up a monster benefit which was responded to by a grateful public and secured him those comforts at bis death which be might otherwise have lacked. did not tbare In tbt popular sympathy so lavlshlngly expeadtd en tbe fayorlte actor In hit latter dayt. My reasons were that I thotght be had received ample compensa tlon for everjthiDg ha had ever done, bis personal receipts from his profession being .ccrttUly Mt lots than halt a million of dol lars. lie had tlia bait of QTervthltig while llrtdihli town houso nd hti countiy bouse, his yacht and bis shooting box; I a courtad the most oxcluslva and aristocratic society, and whlla nerer admitted to the j Inner Banbodrlan of New York society, wandering noblemen from Europe like the Dnke of Marlboro and Lord Lonsdale found In him a genial companion, who never no ticed In public any of the humbler mem bers of his profession. With the sale of bis wardrobe the curtain rings down on the last act, and the busy whirl of our New Yark life tbe yery name of this once pop ular Idol will ba forgotten. Several times within the past few months have felt called on to report daring rob beries, but three. robberies took place last week that throw tbe exploits of Claude Dn- yal, Dick Turpln and Billy the Kid Into the shade. On Wednesday afternoon there was blockade of street cars on the Bowery, and hundreds of peoplo assembled on the sidewalk to see the fun, tbe crush became quite heayy and It seemed to concentrate about a jeweler's shop a few doors f rem the corner of Grand street. The window was full of watches and diamonds laid out In tempting array. Quick as a flash of light ning canio a terrible crash and two young thieves who bad broken the Immense glass window reached In through th opening and grabbing eyen thing within reach start ed off like a couple of deer pursued by the howling crowd. They scattered diamonds and watches as they fled, and therein lay their salvation, for the crowd stopped to pick up the jewels and the watches, and In the scramble '.he thieves escaped. This was about three o'clock In the afternoon on the most public thoroughfare of New York and In the presence of thousands of people. On Thursday a lady was knocked down with a sandbag by a ruffian In the middle of the afternoon and robbed of her watch and forty dollars In cash. While a German who had just drawn five hundred dollars from the Savings Bank was on his way home on a street car, two men jostled against him and on the Instant he felt his money going; be grabbed for the bag which contained It and which was hidden In an Inside pocket. The struggle was brief,when one of the men knocked him oft the car, and when no recovered his money was gone. The robbers ran In differentdlrectlons. The pursuit, was immediate and one of tho men was run down, but It was not tho man wltn the money; however, the next day when the thief who was captured waa arraigned before tbe police magistrate the poor Ger man who lost tbe money recognized sitting among the crowd the other thief who had assisted In the robbery. He told the court officers and they watched the pair and soon found them exchanging signals; then the thief who was free advanced towards the prisoner and offered to procure him coun scljhe was at once pounced upon by the officers, and to their great delight he turned out to be Abe Coakley, one of the most daring hank robbers and expert sneak thieves in the United Statos. Nearly 'one half of Abe's life has been passed behind prison bars; but during the other half be has contrived to make it very uncomforta ble for bankers and all others who had loose money. I hardly know how. Abe could have got so low down as to commit a rob bery on a street car, be has generally flown for higher gamo for during his life ho has relieved banks and Individuals of oyer a million of dollars. Tho war which has been raging for over two years between tbe English and Ameri can branches of the Salvation Harmy, cul mlnated last week in the deposition 'of General Moora, who led tbe American re bellion two years ago, which resulted In the separation of the English branch from that situated In the United States. It is several years ago since General Moore led the Invading hosts of Salvationists from Halblen's Hileto the dominions of Hnncle Sam. The field was large, the harvest was great, and the Head Centre, Pope or Grand Lama, or whatever he was, General Booth, was much rejoiced thereat; as golden Amer lean eagles rolled Into the London treasury. It did not take many years for General Moore to realize that. It would not bo a bad Idea to horganlze a Harmy of 'Is hown. Whether this Idea was the prompting of a good spirit or the work of the devil I can not tell, but as soon as General Booth learn ed the treason he made thing exceedingly warm for Gendral Moore. He started for tbe United States at once, and his son Bal lingtoa wis hordered to the front to dowu tbe Satanic cohorts of the rebels. Hailing ton Booth is about six feet two and weighs considerably oyer eighty pounds. General Moore Is about five feel one and tips t' o steelyards at nearly two hundred, so fur the advantage was on neither side, boib relied on the Lord tor help, and what one lacked In length the other made up In breadth, so that It was about an eyen thing alt around; but Balltngton Booth was not an opponent to be sneezed at- He had served an apprenticeship under bis father. and knew what rough fighting meant. He bad wrestled with the devil among White chapel toughs and bad thrown him tvei lime, so he was not at ail scared when he came to the United States and tackled Gen eral Moore. On tbe other hand, General Moore was all covered oyer with spliltual scars which he had received la his numer ous encounters, and when It came to fight ing he was not afraid of the devil himself, When Balllngton Booth arrived here he opend his batteries at once, and now after a two years' struggle It is announced tbat General Moore Is deposed. Tbe General announces, however, that be Is sot jet dead, and It looks as though General Booth may find blm a yery lively ghost. He Is not yet deserted by all ot his friends Ash Barrel Jimmy, Banjo Charley and Hoop do doo Sam stick to him; this with a stout contingent of Salvation lasses may help him to Hold the Fort; meanwhile we wait with bated breath for new from the seat of war. Our sister Brooklyn Is In trouble. For five days not a car has stirred oa flye of tbe principal strert car lines, and this means that out of 650,000 i tople over 200,000 must get to their work as best they can over dls tances varying from two to five miles Nearly every road in New York is also tied up. The strikers amount to a few tbous' aitds, tbe people who ara, Incommoded are at least two hundred thousand, and notice has been served on tbe companies that as long as they don't attempt to run any cart there will be no disturbance, but If tbey do, look out) Now In this free ceuntr; of aura no man questioL th right of any other man to leave a sltnation that does not suit blm, but to say that he holds a permanent mortgage on a situation which he blmself can abandon without question at any time is monstrous. After both parties baye wor ried and harried each other for several days or weeks, when tbe men are starring and their families are suffering and the employ ers bave suffered eerlous loss they will coma together and patch np a peace that will last till the next strike. Sooner or later this question will bave to be settled, and the only possible way Is In tha proclamatlen at th absolute Independence of tbo working nr laboring man, tlio rlslit to dlipoia of his labor wllliout Inlerfcrcnco from any other maa atidbeulnd blm all Ibo power of tbo Stato and nation to maintain blm In that right. Both tides In the present dispute seem determined, and the slightest move- ment on.i-ltlier side may plunge us Into a conflict that may result lu bloodshed and disaster. Tbe weather still continues very much like spring. January Is gone and as yet no serious symptom of winter. What Is In store for usf Let us wait and see. Truly yours, BROADBRIM.
