SUHDAX AVOEK SHOULD BE DECBEASED
1
"WASHraGTOjr, Kovember 29. Postmas
ter General Wanamaker submitted his an
nual report to President Harrison to-day.
He prefaced it as follows:
"The first Postmaster General submitted
his first report to President Washington 100
years aeo. Its exact date was December 9.
1789. I mention this as of interest in this
centennial age.
"I hare the honor to state that to the Post
master General ot the United States is com
mitted the management of the largest busi
ness concern in the world, consisting of a
central establishment with almost 60,000
branches, and employing over 150,000 peo
ple. Its agents embrace one-half of the civil
list. It maintains communication between
the near and the remote places of the coun
try with frequency, celerity and security.
The number and value of its messages are
such that the Imagination can scarcely form
a conception of them. Tee capital in use in
carrying on this vast business was last year
$1 to each man, woman and child in the
United States. Nevertheless, the postal
service is not a money-making enterprise.
It is not intended to be. It is a mistake to
expect it to be self-sustaining until it is
fully perfected."
Referring to the dispute concerning the
Government telegraph rates, the report says:
The "Western Union Telegraph Company
declares tne new rates fixed to be a 'confis
cation of its property,' and,though continu
ing the service, declines to accept the rate
as final payment. It proposes to make its
claim in the courts, but offers to submit the
question of rates for this year to a board of
arbitration such as proposed by the Post
master General to ascertain rates for the en
suing year. Tne act of Congress directs the
Postmaster General to fix rates, but gives no
authority under which he may appoint a
commission to inquire into the costs and
Talue of telegraphic service. It will be
necessary, thereiore, if the course suggested
.. be approved, to authorize the Postmaster
General to proceed in the premises."
WASAMAKEE DISAPPOINTED.
"I confess to a disappointment in that
the negotiations with the "Western Union
Telegraph Company did not lead to a
scheme which I hoped to submit with this
report for your approval, whereby the peo
ple at large could have the benefit of tele
graphic service at popnlar rates. It is
stated that merchants, bankers and news
papers are now the principal customers of
the telegraph companies in this country.
The statistics of the telegraphic system of
the English Government show that a
large proportion of the customers (50
per cent is stated by some persons)
are from the family and from social mes
sages, and not from business sources. "With
a lower telegraphic rate and with stations at
the windows of the postoffices, to which
ladies are accustomed, an entirely new class
ol business would grow up, affording great
convenience to manv not now in the habit
of using the wires. The telegraph is defined
to be 'an instrument for conveying intelli
gence beyond the limits of distance at which
the voice is audible.' This definition would
apply equally to the postoffiee, and is in
fact the object for which the postoffiee was
'-'established.
'The great propriety and advantage -of -a
united service cannot be questioned from a
point of convenience and economy to the
people. There is no reason whatever why
the night messages of the telegraph com
panies should not be delivered as postal
matter by tne first morning delivery of the
carriers. This is proper postoffiee business,
and would add to the profits of the depart
ment. The vast network of wires covering
the country" could easily reach many of the
village postoffices and benefit more people
than by stopping at the railroad stations,
which are often a mile or more dis
tant from where the people live. An exper
iment could be easily and quickly made to
ascertain whether the demand for cheaper
telegraphio service exists as is claimed. It
could be done without any outlay of monev
by the Government, and with no interfer
ence with existing telegraph interests, inas
much as it would create, as stated, a new
class of business. Moreover, many people
becoming acquainted with the uses of the
telegraph, would wonder how they ever
managed to get along without it; and would
find themselves using the swifter service as
well as the limited, and financially guaran
teed messages would continue to be confined
to and carried hy the existing corporations.
THE PEOPOSED SCHEME.
"A contract should be made with tele
graphic lines now in operation, or that may
hereafter be built, under advertisement and
public bid, at the most favorable rate that
can be obtained, in the same manner as the
Postoffiee Department now eontmp.ts ;,
railroad companies for the carrying of letters
and postal cards, connecting the wires with
free deliveryand;other designated postofEces,
and receivine messages to be delivered in
each instance at the next carrier delivery
after their receipt in the city to which they
are sent. Some of the free delivery offices
deliver mail ten times a day, some six, and
few less than four.
"A Washington message to Eew York or
Boston, announcing that the sender is leav
tJ5f by train and 3s to be met at the station
orxany kind of message which will be in
season if delivered the dav of starting
would fall into one of several regular deliv
eries at the office connected by telegraph in
the other city. The slower service would
answer all purposes for numbers, of. people.
25o additional expense"isquired Tor office
or clerk hire. One expert 'telegrapher could
be selected when the postal clerks are ap
pointed. If there was sufficient telegraphic
business wholly to employ one man's time
so much the better. A clerk could
be assigned for this particular work,
and the service would be that much
more likely to be, profitable. "With no other
responsibility in wis limited telegraph bu
reau than that for ordmarr mail; no expen
sive system of copying and recording; by
using postage stamps lor payments, no cash
accounting needed the low expenses would
, justify low rates for the people's benefit. If
' each money order office sent but three mes
sages per day there would be 27,000 mes
sages, which would be a good business.
Connecting the money order offices by wire
payments of money conld be telegraphed by
private code to various points free, or at a
trifling cost, and add to the convenience of
many people.
"I respectfully ask that such legislation
be enacted as is necessary to empower the
Postmaster General to enter Into a contract
with responsible parties for a term not ex
ceeding .five years, on conditions favorable
to the Government, for the purpose of estab
lishing a Limited Post and Telegraph Ser
vice. SUKDAY MAILS.
"Early in the present administration the
subject of Sunday mail service was brought
forcibly to the attention of the department
through numerous letters and memorials
from individuals and associations. On the I
18th of Hay last a circular letter was ad- I
dressed to tne postmasters at 100 of the largest '
Imstotnces in tne united btates. Thefol
owing is a copy:
Sin With the view of ascertaining the rela,
tire importance of the receipt and dispatch of
, mails at Dostoffices and the deliverv therxfrnm
U& to the public on Sunday, as compared with the
i imuc va iat ower oays ei tne weejc, ana in
border to reduce the work on that day, if it
"should be found rjractic&hlA and nrnnnT. 1 tvfu
Ithaakyou carefully to collect Information on
the following points as applied to Sundays in
the coming month of June, and make report
thereon in detail to me, to wit:
L The amount of postage stamps, postal
cards, newspaper wrappers, etc., sold at your
office on each Sunday in June.
ZlThe cumber of callers at your postoffiee
on each Bunday in June.
3. The number of mails dispatched and re
ceived on each Sunday in June and the approx
imate extent of such malls.
4. The number of letter carrier collections,
the approximate extent ot the mail matter col
lected, and the hours at which the several col
lections were made.
6. The number of employes on duty each Sun
day and the hours of service of each.
I shall also esteem it a favor if you will sub
mit to me, with these replies, any suggestions
which may occur to you, after careful thought,
as to the means and the mode of reducing Sun
day work in postoffices.
"The replies to the emeries were received
in due time, accompanied in many instances
by suggestions, and they were tabulated so
that results might be seen more readily.
They show that as a rule the sales of post
age stamps and stamped paper on Snnday
are comparatively insignificant, and that
the callers for mail matter on that day com
prise but a very small proportion of the
patrons of the postoffices. The letter carrier
service in cities is confined substantially to
the collection of matter so that it may make
the earliest dispatch, and to a brief accom
modation of the residents of the various
routes by the carriers at the postoffices.
TO SEDUCE THE TVOKK.
"The general tenor of the suggestions as to
the means and the mode of reducing Sunday
work in the postoffices seems to be that so
long as there is maintained a railroad
service on that day for the carriage of mails
there must be either a corresponding local
service for the handling and treatment of
the matter so carried or quite a general de
lay of such matter, resulting in considerable
accumulations for the first business day of
the week, and in the consequent derange
ment of the business, both of the postoffices
and their patrons.
"This subject shall continue to receive my
thoughtful consideration, and I shall make
use of all proper means tending toward the
minimizing of postoffiee work upon Sunday,
because I believe that the - Government
should, as far as possible, make no require
ments which will prohibit its employes from
the enjoyment of a day of rest,
"I have inquired somewhat as to the way
in which this question is dealt with in other
countries, and nave been much interested in
the information gained as to Sunday service
in the postal establishment of Great Britain.
The postoffices in the London district are
closed on Sundays, with the exception of a
iew, wnicn are open during certain
hours lor the receipt and dispatch
of telegrams only. There appears
to be a total cessation of postal business in
that great city upon Snnday. Such is not
the case, however, in the town districts,
with the method adopted as to the treatment
of the subject in its application to the
smaller postoffices. In one respect, at least,
the Sunday service at British postoffices is
more extensive than in this country,
namely, that at all offices which are open on
Sunday, the public are allowed, not simply
to purchase postage stamps, but also to have
letters registered during the time such offices
are open, namely, from 9 to 10 in the morn
ing, and one other hour at least. .Neither
registry nor money order business is trans
acted in any postoffiee in the United States
on Sunday.
THE ENGLISH 'WAT.
"The British regulations state that in no
provincial town in England or Ireland is
there more than ono delivery of letters on
Sunday. As a rule, there- are no deliveries
in this country on Sunday. It is provided
that any person may prevent Sunday de
livery of his own mail by addressing to the
postmaster a written request for the reten
tion of such mail in the postoffiee.
."Applications forthediscontinuanceof the
delivery of letters on Sunday in the town
districts can only be entertained provided
they are supported by thelocal town authori
ties, and that satisfactory -evidence is
afforded that the inhabitants are unanimous,
Or substantially unanimous, in desiring the
change; and in rural districts every memor
ial for the establishment or discontinuance
of a Snnday post must bear the signature
of those persons who receive two-thirds of
the letters delivered upon the post, other
wise the application cannot be entertained."

On Thursday night Officer Truby Shaul
found Thomas Eyan, a tramp, and John
Stubbe, a Haz'eltfood grocer, preparing to
take a sleep in a freight car on the Balti
more and Ohio .siding out Second avenue.
Stubbe was very drunk and carried 5170 in
cash and a silver watch, while his com
panion was very sober, and seemed to be
exerting a fatherly care over Stubbe. The
officer arrested both men, and at the hearing
yesterday morning Magistrate Qripp gave
Byan 90 days forvagrancy.and fined Stubbe
$1 and costs which he paid. Stubbe was
turned loose, and walked out of the station
house vowing he would never drink another
drop, and thanking the officer for saving
him from robbery. "Within two hours Mr.
Stubbe was again carried into the station,
very drunk, and minus $70 ot his money
and his watch.

rCORHISrONDE3CE OF THE PISPATCB.:
St. Michael, Azobes, November 5.
"Boa viageml boa viageml" (Good
voyage! good voyagel) not only came from
the lips of Manuel's wife and daughter, as
we mounted our donkeys for our trip to the
interior, but the -same blessing came from a
score or more of the populace who had gath
ered about the door of my venerable host's
house to -witness what were to this humble
neighborhood most unusual proceedings.
Manuel had got three donkeys and a lad,
Mateito, Mateito is diminutive for Matthew,
and this donkey-driving lad himself was di
minutive of anything. But what he lacked
in size he furnished in expedients and mis
chief, and while apparently dutifully en
gaged in all good offices of expedition, was
in reality vigorously Applying sundry secret
intimations well known to his animals, re
sultant in such -whirlings and swirlings, pi
rouettings and cavortings with endwise and
sidewise rushings, that both myself and
my -aged guide were vigorously taxed to re
tain either our dignity or our sittings.
Our own, or Mateito's popularity was so
increased thereby that the little street echoed
and re-echoed with cheers; and we at last
sallied forth at great speed, the entire con
conrse massing at our sides, and continuing
meir pieasea attentions oy stm more sten
'torian vivas and sundry resounding whacks
upon our donkeys' flanks and ribs; all
greatly to the edification of grinning folk
at doors and windows, until we finally fairly
outran them all and came to a halt for in
spection and repairs at the hill tops above
the quaint old city.
-Lhis little occurrence brought about an
instructive disquisition from Manuel on the
subject of donkeys in the Azores. Thou
sands can be found in the larger cities doing
all manner of labor andservice, while in the
country no peasant is so poor as not to pos
sess one. In front of the Matriz Church in
Fonta Delgada, hundreds may be seen at
any hour of the day, most of them con
fronted by a barefooted driver with an iron
pointed goad as large as a hoe handle, and
caparisoned with a rope around its shaggy
neck, in lieu of halter or bridle, and a huge
wooden saddle with upturned wooden yokes
at the front and back.
ALMOST A VEHICLE.
You do not sit astride the little beasts.
You ride them, something as you do the
wild and vaulting Irish jaunting car,
sitting sidewise, with your legs dangling
over the donkey's right side, and, in
moments of peril, with your two hands
violently clutching the horns of the front
yoke. You will make a sad business of it
if you undertake a rigid and stately posture;
but observing the native Azorean doubled
upon his donkey into the form of a printer's
reversed mark of interrogation, and faith
fully copying his riding, which is chiefly
upon the backs of the knee-joints, you may
always do almost as well as to walk.
from padre to peasant everyone owns a
donkey, and they are brought into requisi
tion lor -the most trifling journeys. The
padre will not walk, a -rood if his own .or
any other person's donkey be within call.
The goatherd on the mountains has him lor
an inseparable companion, and it the feed
ing ground is shifted but a half mile all the
preparations for a long journey are made
and the goatherd rides in state to his new
station among the. rocks. So if a peasant
laborer is engaged for a day's service on an
adjoining farm, if he has occasion to go
from one field to another, or if women in the
country wish a bit of gossip at the next
cabin, or cross-roads, each sets out with
boundless preparation, arrives as if from a
ten days' pilgrimage, and giving the
donkey a kick or a whack as admonition tn
self-support, never recalls so trifling a subject-matter
as the beast until it is wanted
for the return trip. .
Then all any Azorean has to do to get his
donkey is to say that he wishes it. A horde
of lads, whooping and howling, hunt him,
capture him, and rush him to his owner in
a perfect hurricane of lava-dust, goads and
florid Portuguese oaths,, when his duties' are
demurely and faithfully resumed. The
other extraordinary uses to which the
Azorean donkey is put were illustrated
fully in our few hours' journey between
Ponta Delgada to Sette Cidades or the an
cient crater called the "Seven Cities."
DONKEYS EVERYWHERE.
The ro'ads seem filled with them. Here is
a procession ridden by peasant women, eanh
cloaked and cowled in the monstrous capote
e capello, on their way to Ponta Delgada
with all manner of country produce sway
ing from the wooden saddle yokes. A lone
donkey laden with water casks plods along
without companion or driver, sent lroni
somewhere to somewhere over his oft-traveled
way, and with a pitiful loos: of worried
responsibility in his gray old face. Here
come a bevy completely hidden by piles of
corn leaves piler' so high that it seems the
stacks are waltzing into the citvon invisible
legs. Bells jangle in a muffled way beneath
the fodder, and barefooted country lads prod
the bobbing mysteries viciously.
Again a score come tripping and mincing
along a slender path beneath a huge wall,
laden with wheat and corn in casks and
panniers. Two are met sustaining a strong
beam across their backs, and to this beam a
trunk of a tree, being conveyed to the city
for pier timber in this outlandish wav, is
swung, and, being nearly balanced, one'end
bangs the donkey's head and shoulders
while the other lightly bounds along the
way a source of peril to all passers upon the
road. But the oddest burden of all was met
just as having wended our way past
fountains where donkeys, peasants' and
water-carriers were all loitering to bray,
babble and gossip, over hills, down dart
and ferny valleys, and through a half dozen
straggling villages we had reached the
higher uplands leading to the precipitous
edges of the Seven Cities.
This was a patient being transported to
"da Misericordia," the splendid hospital of
Ponta Delgada, for some surgical operation
to be performed. The sufferer was a woman
who had fallen over some cliff in the
mountain beyond. Two timbers were
fastened lengthwise along the donkeys'
backs. From, the ends of these, timbers ex
tended across from hack to back, securely
fastened with thongs, and from the latter,
ropes depended and sustained a rude ham
mock of pine staves, such as are used in
boxing oranges, covered with the stout linen
woven by the peasantry. The sufferer was
thus being very comfortably borne from her
mountain Ipme, accompanied by a large
delegation of .relatives and neighbors, all
prompted by their sympathetic natures to
continually give expression to grievous
moanings and lamentations.
KOVEMBEB WEATHER.
our road, nownearly an unfrequented briddle
path, came to an apparently abrupt termina
tion. Quietly dismounting, old Manuel
bade me follow, and in a moment more it
seemed that halt the space beneath the hori
zon had disappeared.
"Seel" said Manuel with a lofty gesture,
"there lie the Seven Cities before youl"
No real seven cities were to be seen. But
w stood upon the brink, of undoubtedly the
vastest extinct volcano crater in the world.
We were nearly 3,000 feet above its lowest
levels. It was over nine miles in circum Ter
ence. At a score of places near us on the
north and east sides, one could step from a
bunch of upland heather and fall sneer 2,800
feet. Though now but little after midday
its lower swails were purply and dark.
Hawks circled about its jutting teeth-like
edges in search of prey. A thousand feet
below, gulls like flakes of snow, fluttered,
poised and uttered their gurgling, whistling
cries. Two lakes like bits of polished glass,
reflect in midday the stars. These are
Lagoa Azul and Iiagoa Grande. The first
is a light blue in color, and the second,
though connected with the former by a living
stream, is a deep green.
A PECULIAE DOTTEBEHCE.
No one has ever taken the trouble to ac
count for this startling difference in color,
nor to settle the question how the as remark
able name of Sette Cidades, Br "Seven
Cities," where there never was a' city, came
to be given the lone and eerie spot. On one
side ot the valley crater are seven ghostly
hollows or tarns, whose centers show the
gleam of shadowed pools. Sette conravi
dades means "seven hollows;'' and, in any
event, if you come to the Azores and jour
ney to this wondrous and grewsome crater,
you will come in fact not to "Seven Cities,"
nor to any other number, but to the great
valley of the "'Seven Hollows." Away
down, down there in the dark and purple of
the western edge of the basin are a tew tiny
specks of white.
This, Manuel tells me, is the village of
Sette Cidades. The only signs of life in the
splendid but lonely spot are 'there. So round
and round we went, here crowding the lava
walls lest we topple oyer; there clinging to
the furniture of our donkeys for precipitous
uHiKuu fiiiiauiuics, ugaju oareiy escaping
plunges over deep abysses, often passing
wholly underneath mistlike waterfalls from
the heights above; and, at last, coming to
circling gentle descents where we gladly re
mounted our donkeys,which scampered into
the little village as "if conscious of possible
hospitalities for the coming night.
But both thev and mvself were disap
pointed. The one ramshackle, estalugem or
inn was beneath old Manuel's notice. But
a little beyond we would find friends and
true Azorean hospitality, he said. I wanted
to loiter in the place, such a quaint little
Caatskill village it was. But my guide was
unrelenting, and our donkeys were merci
lessly larrupped and goaded into a lively
pace. . ,
A SrMTTiA-R LEGEND.
As best I might I told Manuel how like
Irving's simple vilage it was, and of poor
old Hip's adventures in the Catskills. His
eyes instantly kindled. In Portugal, he
saia, ana nere in tnis very spot, the legend
had its prototype. Surely our great Ameri
can escriptor or literator out have carried
his masterpiece over in his baggage from
Portugal, whence it had come from his own
beloved island of St. Michael. And as we
ascended the mountain side, pausing at
times to emphasize his tale with gestures
toward the receding village below and the
darkening and forbidding heights above, old
Manuel unfolded the centuries-old legend of
the Azorean Eip Van "Winkle.
Dobrado Madraco, who had no Qther
name, for his peasant neighbors had from
his boyhood called him "two-fold vagrant,"
with his wife Gritadora, or "brawling wo
man," had for many years kept the little
bodega or inn which we had passed in the
sleepy village of Seven Cities below. More

Jirado loved quIet"Tiudpeeliis4iestasTff'
tne sun upon tne Jong wooden benches in
front of their inn, which seldom boasted a
guest, the children of the village bleachers
and the mountain goatherds, and, above all,
a full flagon of the sweet wine of Payal.
Gritadora loved only the sonnd of her own
remorseless tongue. It ran like the upland
wind mills by day, but worse than all like a
mountain torrent by night. So shrill and
devilish became her termagant uproar as
the years passed on that Dobrado was worn
to a skeleton for lack of sleep, and one by
one the peasants left the village to get be
yond the piercing sounds of the vixen's aw
ful tongue. One dreary nitrht when th At
lantic was pounding the cliffs until the
island trembled, Gritadora's fierce spirit
outran even her tongue. Seizing a pike she
belabored poor Dobrado out into the night,
shrieking her denunciations above the
storm, and following him like the tempest
itself half way up the mountain, never ceas
ing her outcries and punishment until her
fugitive husband had fallen in a swoon of
pain and fright, and thus escaped her in the
darkness; whereupon the vixen returned in
peace and quiet to the village.

Hon. Walter Lyon Enters Suit Against the

THE TEXT OP THE COMPLAINT IN FDLL.
Judge "White sentenced the Aldermen and
the Bander gang yesterday. He refused
new trials, saying that the evidence showed
Bander, Doyle, Bender, Dougherty, Kagle
and Stoner to be engaged in a conspiracy,
and that the evidence justified the convic
tion of the Aldermen found guilty! In im
posing sentence Judge "White said he con'
sidered Bauder and Doyle as the prime
movers; to both of them he gave a sentence
of three years to the workhouse. To Dough
erty he gave two years, to Nagle one year,
and to Bender six months, all to the work
house. Bender's sentence was made light
because he did not attempt concealment,
but told the truth.

regarded Doughty as almost as bad as Callen,
but as the jury had recommended mercy he
made his sentence one year to the workhouse:
JUaneese, be thought, had followed the exam
ple of older Aldermen, but was not a bad man,
and as he too had been recommended to mercy
his sentence would be six months to the work
house. The counsel for the Aldermen
says an appeal will be taken
to the Supreme Court. Justice Clark
oi me supreme Court, .will be In the city
next week, and a motion for a special allocator
will be made before him in the cases of all those
sentenced. If the motion is granted it will allow
the release of all of those sentenced, on bail,
until the case is argued and decided before the
Supreme Court Justice Clark will probably be
here on Monday, and the motion will ba made
at once.
NEW TEIALS EEF0SED.
The Court commenced the proceedings by
ref nsing the prisoners' counsel's motion for a
new trial In the following opinion.
From the evidence there can be no doubt that J.
D. Dander and the men employed by him In his
business, to wit, J. Doyle, L. J. Bender, J. A.
Douitherty. W. Nagleand F. B. Stoner. were en
gaged In a conspiracy to extort money by means
of criminal persecutions. They were all found
gollty at No. 732 of this term. The question on
this trial was whether the three Aldermen,
Maneese, Callen and Doughty, were engaged In
tbe conspiracy. I thlnK the evidence instilled a
verdict agalni all of them.

Dobrado at last arose and, devoutly
thanking the Virgin both for his life and
the peace of the tempest, resolved to pene
trate the vast forests at the brow of the
mountains, from which he had often seen
tbe smoke lazily curling as ha halt dozed
before his inn door. Hours of the night
passed as he clambered the mountain; but
the falling trees and all hidden dangers
were as nothing to the terrors from which
he had at last escaped; and on suddenly
emerging from a deep gorge' along which he
had for some time traveled over a. frennented
road, he came upon ah assembly of appar
ently black people making merry about
numberless fires.
He begged their hospitality, and, in God's
name, their succor from an awful woman's
awful tonguat He was welcomed royally,
given food and 'drink, and finally, overcome
byjexcess of fatigue and happytemotions,
given a couch of fir boughs; and, as all his
life he had never known peaceful slumber
on account of the vicious clatter of Grita
dora's voice, fell into such deep sleep that
from that time to this he has never awak
ened "whence." continued Manuel, "onr
island proverb, applied to a scolding wife,
that 'he should have a conch with the car
boneiros.' "
Scarcely had he finished this tale when we
emerged from the same defile into a large
camp of mountain carboneiros, or charcoal
burners, at the precise spot where Dobrado
had been succored from the shrew Gritadora.
These proved to be old friends of Manuel,
who, with swarthy faces and proluse greet
ings, promised us both good cheer and merry,
and, with loud laughter and jests, whether
or not deserving, "Dobrado couches" for the
night. Edoae L. Wakesiaij-.

tbe defendant conspired wltb L. J. Bender. V.
Kagle and P. B. stoner. In conjunction with those
named In the Indictment. Al.o tbe caseoflfeter
Bntterhoff was stated as one of tbe cases embraced
In tbe conspiracy. Thus Alderman Doughty had
specific notice that Bender was charged as one of
the conspirators.
THE EVIDENCE WAS STEONO.
The evidence was amply sufficient to Justify the
Jury In finding that Alderman Doughty actually
knew of the illegal business and practices of the
Bauder agency, and that Bender was oneofthe
Sarty. It was sufficient also to Justify-them In
ndlng that Alderman Doughty was tbe chief In

The same is true in the case of Alderman Maneese.
But In this case there are two mitigating circum
stances. Be received nothing except lu tbe way
of costs, and was candid enough to admit all the
facts.
BATOEB ATTACKS CASSIDT.
In sentencing the prisoners Judge White, ac
cording to the usual practice, asked if any
of them bad anything to say. Bauder replied:
"Just this, your Honor," be said, advancing
a few steps. "With regard to informations en
tered by me before Alderman Cassidy, I wish
to say that those Informations were entered at
the request of Alderman Cassidy, who ad
vanced me $10 for the work. He wished to
have them entered for the reason that theDe-
fiartmeht of Public Safety was prosecuting
riends of bis, and he proposed to retaliate by
prosecuting friends of the department; He
told me this in the presence- of Nagle. I never
knew but that the cases had been returned to
court."
This statement, of course,produced a sensa
tion, judge White and District Attorney
Porter consulted for several minutes, and
then totrether whispered several minutes
more with Mr, Burleigh. Assistant Superin
tendent O'Mara was the, only representative of

When this suit was entered the Allegheny

resolved to prosecute the sellers of bogus but

oleomargarine are sold in Allegheny every

.A BAD BELL BOI.
Even in this November -weather, flowers
and bloom are in every hedge and copse,
and lavishly clambering upon every cottage
and wall. A subtle odor of mingled heather,
pine and orange fills the air; and, mingled
with the distant chiming of village church
bells, the nearer tinkling of countless bells
among the herds, and the notes of shepherds
pipes lafand near in the mountains about
us, are heard from hidden groups of peasants
snatches' ot their high-Keyed island songs,
mocked and mimicked in the notes of in
numerable fsland birds.

Helra to tho Donors of a Chnrch Lot Claim a
Bale Works Reversion.
Attorney George D. Riddle yesterday filed
exceptions to the petition of the fellers Chapel
M. B. Church, of Braddock, for the confirma
tion of the sale of real estate.
A number of years ago Win. Redman and
Matt. a.Henning deeded a lot 80x150 feet, then
In Braddock township, but now In the borough,
to trustees. Tbo conditions were that they
were to erect a building to be used by members
of the M. E. Church of the United States for
church purposes. These conditions were car
ried out, and the congregation occupying the
property became tbe Sellers Chapel of the M.
E. Church.
Six months ago the congregation desired to
build a new chnrch,and bought another lot for
tbe purpose. The new building was commenced
and is now ready to be roofed, and will cost
$20,000. They put in a petition to court for
leave to sell their old lot, which Is now worth
about 820,000, and, obtaining it, offered tbe
property for sale. Attorney Riddle, as attorney
for Mrs. Redman and others, heirs of the origi
nal owners ot tbe property, notified all bidders
at the sale that they would purchase the prop
erty at their peril; tbat the sale would be a
violation ot the trust, and would, therefore, re
vert to the heirs of the original owners.
The sale was made notwithstanding, and ap-
filication made to court for a confirmation of
t, so that a deed could be made. Fending this
confirmation, Mr. Riddle filed tbe exceptions of
the heirs of the original owners. As reasons
be asserts that the Sellers M. E. Church has no
title to the property other than .is common to
all members ot tbe M. E. Church of North
America, and because tbe church, with or
without authority from the conrt, has no right
to sell tbe property or divert it from the uses
fixed by the donors; and tbat the sale as pro
posed would be a -violation of tbe trust and
would work a reversion to the heirs of tbe
donors.

Thomas Hcatfacote's Charge of Besertles
Woaldn't Ge.
Judge Slagle yesterday refused to grant
Thomas Heatbcote a divorce from Jane Heath
cote. The divorce was asked for on the grounds
of desertion. The couple, it is stated, were
married In O'Hara township in 1888. They re
moved to Allegheny, living at No. 62 Buena
Vista street. In 1S86. In 1887 Heatbcote went
back to O'Hara township, leaving her behind.
He afterward sued tor a divorce; chargiag' ber
with desertion.
Judge Slagle, in his opinion, said tbat tbe
evidence1 indicated a separation by mutual
acreement, rather than a willful desertion. He
also said that a marriage had not been clearly
Sroven. Mrs. Heatbcote had lived with
Ceathcote as his housekeeper until 1863, when
they agreed to become man and wife. His
Honor did not see why the courts should be
asked to annul such a contract. In conclusion,
the divorce was ref usecj.

Jar Jfris. Castas,
A number of Southside ladies haves, Us
scheme now under consideration for form
ing an organization ot all working girls.
By request the names of the ladies are not
given, as they do not want publicity until
their plans are more definitely decided on. .
One of the nnmber, who is a noble -worker
among all classes, said she was first led to
become interested in the factory girls by
seeing them pass her door each day. Sho
went among them and visited the homes
of some, and, associated with other
ladies, saw the good that conld be
accomplished. Definite plans will not
be formulated until next week, when a
meeting will be held and an effort made to
interest the1 girls. It is the-purpose to have
an organization of all working girls in any
occupation. Booms will be rented and the
government will, in some respects, re
semble that oi the Young Hens' Christian
Association. The lady said that they did ,
not want to call it the Young Xadies
Christian Association. The name might be
objectionable to some, as the girls are of all
creeds. The idea is to have the girls con
sider that it is not a charitable or philan
thropic move by several ladies, bnt one that
will benefit them jut t to the extent that they
take an interest in the organization.
THE BENEFITS TO -HEHBEBS.
It is proposed as a part of the plan to ob
tain work for members of the association,
who by any cause are left without a posi
tion. It will be beneficial is its effects is
every way. If rooms are engaged on the
plan of the Y. M. a A., the girls amid
have an opportunity to listen to good lect
ures, would have good literature placed be
fore them. Classes in needle work, cooklnp-
and all studies could be started.
Tbe lsdy interviewed said that the
ultimate aim was to extend the association
to include all the "working girls in the two
cities. She was very loth to have anytning
published just yet, until visits had been
paid the girls and the matter explained to
them in the way intended. Factory girls
are bo worse, and are in many respects better
than, other girls; however, many of them
have not had good home influences, and
could be benefited in many ways by mutual
organization. The benefits of such an or
ganization will not be' monopolized by
working girls alone; any girl may become a
member who meets the requirements.
VTHAT EMPIvOTERS THINK OF IX.
Mr. C. Evans, Superintendent ior Oliver
Bros., who hire more girls than any other
firm in the two cities, said that if any move
ment was on foot that appeared, on its sur
face to be a charitable enort to ameliorate the
condition of the working girls, he -vras-aJxaid
it would not work. He said that becaawt
they work ia a mill or factory Vbey are no -worse
than other girls, and ii many cases
are better. The obedience aqd'atteotion to
work required are gooA lessons, to them.
They can look after themselves and would
reseat any move of tfnjs kind-

Thomas 7. Steyeaeoa, ioreasan at Eip
iey&Co.'s was seen by a DISPATCH re
porter ia regard to the move. HevoVths
the natives of the ladies were ceruinly '
very commendable ia thus endeavoring to
do some good asaou the girls; however, he
doubted if it -weald succeed, as the work
was harder than tbe ladies suppose. He
said that a person, of sympathetic tempera
ment on first going among these unfortu
nates is always aroused to talk: of philaa
throphy, but with time; as they grow better
acquainted, their sympathy -wanes and ges
erally results in little bnt talk. However, a
move of the kind proposed has never been
tried and if earned out would certainly rev '
suit in ranch goed.
VfUJU XBSEST CKABIXT.
He hardly thought it would work in ib
ley & Co. 's worts, as they did not hire any;
but girls -who were known to be of gooi
moral character. JTo matter whether they
are efficient ia their -work: or not, they are
discharged if the least thing "crooked" ie
learned regarding them. Hot only does this"
apply to factory hoars, but the firm ia per
fectly cognizant ot the home life of the girls.
The girls -wiU resent any move that will
look like classing them as nnfortaastes. to
be watched. They,. like thousands of
others really in seed of physical
and moral help, shriak frees any
thing that savors of philanthropy
like tbat sasv times resorted to. This con
sists ia the ladies surrounding the subjects
to be treated Sad sympathizing "withtnem
until they feel dissatisfied with thesMelvee
and everyone else. They feel belittled and
their latent pride revolts at the treatment.
The only way to accomplish any results is
to make the girls feel by a gradual edaca
tlon, by actions rather words, smiles,
rather thai long faces that they are not
doing what they shoald by themselves.
There are about 40 girls employed at Hip
ley & Co.'s.' Their ages range from 16 te
30 years, with the majority of the former
age. They are employed as sorters, polish
ers, washers, assistant peckers and other
duties connected with the. preparation of
glassware for shipment after it leaves sVhe
annealing oven aed the eagraver's hands.
Their work is all light and does sot; as a
general thing, require more than faithful
ness to their daties on the part of the girls.'
Mr. Stevenson 'said that few of
the girls la glass noases eaa
read or write, or have any other" !
edaeation than that picked ap by hearing
conversation The majority have been com- '
nelled to assist ia earning a Iieiihooe! for ".
themselves sad other members of the family"
whea very yoaag.
"What ant indaeed thea to eater the
work7" was asked.
"You will find that with few" exeeptioas
they are orphans, have drunkards for
father, or from other troubles 'are lee! to
seek what they eaa do. They are thus de
prived of early edacatioa, heme iaSaeneea
