DECEMBER 9, 1893 •I«n4 itrMMki it liUvh U (IM mttai w. o, nwui. . . . r»M**«« THE INSTITUTE. ~~ Tie thirty-eighth uuul Institute of Batler county met under uipiciou cir cumstance* in the Open House, Monday. The weather waa delightful, the accommo dation* ample, and the teacher* were in the beat of spirit*. Two-hundred aad seventy-fire of the three hundred teacher* ol the county were pres ent The finanoe committee reported that the assessment would be email, only $1.50 each. Musio and devotional exercises came first on the program,and then Hon. George W. Fleeger waa introduced by Snpt. Mc- Collough to deliver the address of "Wel come. He began by complimenting the schools of the state, county and borough; compar ed the schools of to-day with those of thir ty years ago, and gave some of bis past experience as a teacher; spoke of the possi bilities of the future, and what the country expected; said that the greatness of our oounty consisted in the greatness of its common people; that the greatest country on Earth was the one containing the great est number of happy and intelligent fami lies; that the aim of the common school* ahould be to fit the children for the duties of common life; that teachers should teach the dignity'and, respectability of labor; that to be a good eitiaen waa the proudest position on earth; that education should fit all for the active duties of life; that a good housekeeper was better than a good musi cian or linguist; *p<£* of the vices of pro fanity, and dishonesty, and particularly of the great vice of gossiping and telling tales, eto. His address waa generally oom mended. School-teacher John H. Wilson respond ed to the address of welcome. He said they were all glad to be here, where they would be fired with new ambitions and new desires to do better, work; that they were proud of their calling, though they were the poorest paid class of workmen in Oxistence; plead for justice and better rewards; said tha (the teachers were pa tient, happy and hopeful, and never struck; that they were law abiding and always looked at the bright aide of thing*; that there waa no danger from immigra tion so long aa the common-school system existed; that the teachers would absorb the new idea* advanced at the Institute, and be found worthy of their oalling, eto. Hu address was short but good. The regular programe, as advertised was then taken cp. Dr. Winship led off with a discourse on Arithmetic, and Prof. Rns sell followed with one on the teaching the elementa of music, a thing that is gradu ally increasing in public favor. Monday evening Rev. Wfllett* held forth on the stage,and what a dandy he is! You never tire of Willetts. This was his sixth appearance before a Butler audience and had it been hia sixtieth the house would have been crowded. There is a charm about Willetts that makes even a poverty stricken country editor forget bis dismal circumstances and for the time enjoy life. Though he is now three soore and ten and his head is gray, hia eyes and his heel* are just aa young aa they used to be; and may he live forever. On Tuesday, W. R. Hockenberry led at the informal meeting; E. E. Graham talk ed about the duties of teaohers and pupils; 8. L. Chessman gave bis experience and ideas in discipline in the school-room; A. W. Kelly gave an interesting address on the teaohing of Geography; Prof. H. R. Wilson of W. Sunbury made an eloquent plea for "Higher Eduoation", and Prof.'c Houck, Winabip, and Russel continued their instructions in the different branobes. Hon. Henry Houok's address that evening in "The old and the New'' was instructive and humorous, and was enjoyed by all present. The informal meeting of Wednesday morning waa presided over by Mr. E. J. Miller of Six Points. Devotional exercises followed, and then W. P. Sipe spoke on educating the scholars regarding their duty to their common country, and illustrated his address by citing several great and good examples. Mr. W. G. Russel thought that teachers should be interested in their work on ac count of ita great importance, and that their success as teachers depend on their being interested themselves. W. B. Scott attributed failure* in teach ing to a lack of preparation, and think* no teacher can teach well unless well and freshly prepared. Dr. Mialtby of Slipperyrock spoke of the importance of inculcating pratriotism in the bteasts of the scholars, quoted Lincoln's speeoh at Gettysburg, and spoke against cramming for examinations. The Sohuman Lady Quartette, that evening, played to one of the largest housea ever seen in Butler. The informal meeting of Thursday morn ing was presided over by Mr. T. H. Pain ter; Mr. M. H. Young of Petrolia and Miss Maude McClymonds will make ad dresses during the day, and the directors are in session in the arbitration this after noon. The Institute of this year has been an unqualified success. Thi great strikes during the last year, and the votee oast at the reoent election, may not improbably open the way to abet ter knowledge of the relations between la borers and employers. It begins to be un derstood that the strikes were sustained by exceptionally well paid workers. As soon as it was generally known what wages these workers were demanding, and how they were suatataed by many labor organi sations on the theory that the policy of the Government ought to secure practically whatever wages workers chose to ask, two distinct effects were perceived. There were some employers of labor in cities and towns who began to think that it was bet ter to stop the advance in wage*, even though at the cost of some arrest of Nat ional growth and development. There were also many farmers who began to doabt whether the National policy did not render their labor too oostly. Thus three distinct badies of men voted together against that National policy, some farmers because it raised wages, some employers in cities and towns because it raised wages more than they wished, and some wage earners because it did not raise wages a* muoh as they wished, Petrolia Items. Mrs. W. A. Fleming died on Tnesday at 12 a.m. She was 63 years, 3 months and 10 days old She had been a member of the M. E. Church for 53 years. She was a kind neighbor and loved by all who knew her and will be missed by the whole community. Protracted meetings are still going on in the M. E. church and are increasing in teres t. Mrs. S. G. Coffin and family are here at tending the ftineral of her mother, Mr*. Fleming. Evans City Items. _ Henry Beam'* handsome new house is is almost ready for occupancy.

Mr. and Mrs. John Lei*ie of Cranberry twp., will leave foi Harris burg this week, where they go to attend the meeting of the State Grange. Dr. J. M. List is down with typhoid fever. Jim McKee, the oil operator, is rejoicing over the arrival of a son. Pittaburg parties have made a location /or an oil well on the Jacob Cooper farm. Jaju. Opening of Congress. The second session of the 52d Congress met, Monday. There were lively scenes in both hoases, the desks of many of the members were decked with flowers; 224 members of the House responded to roll call, Committees were appointed to notify the President that both houses were it session, the credentials of ne*ly elected members were presented, and they were sworn in; several well known Pennsyl varians not members were present; a Penn'a member introdnoed a bill to cover a possible deficit in the treasury; an Illi nois member introduced a joint resolution providing for opening the World's Fair on Sunday. The resolution prohibits the use on Sundays of machinery, unnecessary manual labor, and all merchandising, pro vides that the art gallary, horticultural building and all other buildings in which exhibits of art are installed shall be thrown open to the public every day during thf entire term of the exposition, and that each employe ot the exposition shall bn given one day's rest in each week; quite a number of other bills and resolutions were introduced; the Postmaster General's re port was made public; be summarises the results achieved by his department as fol lows. Five million dollars added to the gross revenue; the deficit reduced nearly a million :money order offices increased two thirds, or from 10,070 to 16,639: 82 cities supplied with free delivery; 2,792 new offices established; 263 offices advanced to tbo Presidential grade: 1.592 new mail routes established, embracing 8,500 miles of new service; ocean mail service extend ed and pneumatic tube service introduced. Of bis proposition to divide the country into postal districts, Mr. TVanamaker says its adoption can only be a question of time. Each district would be put in charge of a postal supervisor or director, and the regular inspectors of the department should assist these supervisors, as they might be needed. The district supervisor could act under rules, without reference to the de partment at "Washington and without use less delay. The department would come directly in touch with the postal employes, and they in turn would be better in touch with the people served. THE MESSAGE. President Harrison's last message to Congress was read in both houses, Tuesday afternoon. It is an interesting document, gives a complete review of the business of the National Government during the past year, fully states the condition of the Treasury, deals largely with industrial questions, and makes but few recommen dations other than those regarding our immigration and quarantine laws From the message we make the follow ing extracts: To the Senate and House of Represent atives: In submitting my annual message to Congress I hate great satisfaction in being able to say that the general condition af fecting the commercial and industrial in terests of the United States are in the highest degree favorable. A comparison of the existing conditions with those ot the most favored period in the history of the country wilj, I believe, show that so high a degree of prosperity and so general a dif fasion of the comforts of life were never before enjoyed by onr people. The total wealth of the country in 1860 was $16,159,606,068. In IS9O it amounted to (62,610,000,000, an increase of 287 pet cent. The total mileage of railways in the United States in 1860 was 30,626; in 1890 it was 167,741, an increase of 448 per cont., and it is estimated that there will be about 40,000 miles of track added by the close of the year, 1892. The official returns of the eleventh census and those of the tenth oensns for 75 leading cities furnish the basis for the following comparison?: in 1880 the capital invested in manufacturing was $1,232,839,670. In 1890 the capital invested in manufacturing was $2,900,735- 884. In 1880 the number of employes was 1,301,388. In 1890 the number of employes was 2,251,134. In 1880 the wages earned were $3,019,650,778. In 1890 the wage* earned were $1,221,170,454. In 1880 the value of the product was $2,711,579,899 In 1890 the value of the product was $4, 800,280,837 lam informed by the superintendent ol the census that the omission of certain in dustries in 1880, which were included ic 18190, accounts in part for the remarkable increase thus shown. But, after making full allowance lor differences of method and deducting the retains for all industries not included in the census of 1880, tbert remain in the reports from theso 75 cities an increase in the capital employed of sl, 522,745,604; in the value of the product o! $2,024,236,166;; in wages earned of $677. 943,929, and in the number ot wage earu era employed ot 856,029. The wage earninges not only show an increased aggregate, but an increase per capita from $387 in 1880 to $549 in 1890, or 41-71 per cent. The new industrial plants established cinoe October 6, 1890, and up to October 22, 1892, nnmbet 345. and the extension of existing plants 108; the new capital in vested amounts to $40,449,050, and the number of additional employes to 47,285. STATR OK THB TRBABCRY. The report of the secretary of the treas ury will attract special intererest in view of the many misleading statements that have been made as to the state of the put> lie revenues. Three preliminary fact* should not only be stated, but emphasised, belore looking into details: First, that the public debt has been reduced since March 4, 1889, $259,074,200, and the annual inter charge 11,684,460; second, that there have been paid oat for pensions during this ad ministration up to November 1. 1892, $432,- 564,178.70, an excess of $114,466,386 09 over the sum expended during the period from Maroh 1, 1885, to March 1, 1889; and third, that under tho existing tariff up to December 1, about $93,000,000 of revenue which would have been collected upon sugar, if the duty had been maintained hat gone into the pockets of the people and not into the public treasury as before. II there are any who still think that the sur plus should have been kept out of circula tion by hoarding it in the treasury or de posited in favored banks without interest, while the government continued to pay to these very banks interest upon the bond* deposited as security for the deposits, or who think that the extended pension legis lation was a public robbery, or that the duties upon sugar should have been main tained. lam content to leave the argu ment where it now rests, while we wait to see whether these criticisms «ill take the form of legislation. The revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, from all sources, were $425,- 868,260.22, and the expenditures for all purdoses $415,953,806 56, leaving a balance of $9,914,453.66. There were paid during the year upon the public debt $40,570,467. 98. The surplus in the trecjury and the bank redemption fiind, passed by the act iof July 14,1890. to the general fund, furn ished in large part the oast available and used lor the payments made upon the pub lic debt. Compared with the year 1891. our receipts from customs duties fell ofi j $42,069,241.05, while our receipts from in ternal revenue increased $8,284,823 13. leaving the net loss of revenue trom these principal sources $33,784,407,95. The net ftws of revenue from all sources was $32,- 675,972 81. «iUABAHTrSB RULES. The suliject of quarantine regulations. 1 inspection and control was brought sud denly to my attention by the arrival at our ports in August last of vessels infected with cholera. Quarantine regulations should be uniform at all onr ports. Under the constitution they are plainly within the exclusive federal jurisdiction when aud so far as Congress shall legislate. In mj opinion, the whole subject should be takeu Into national control and ample power given to the executive to protect our peoples against plague invasions. On September 1 last I approved regulation.- establishing a 20-day quarantine for all vessels bringing immigrants from foreign ports. This order will be continued in torce. Some loss and suffering have re suited to passengers, but a due cai« lor the homes of our people justify in such cases the utmost precaution. There is danger that with the ooming of spring cholera will again appear and a liberal appropria tion should be made at this session to en able our quarantine and post officers to ex clude the deadly plague. But the most careful and stringent quarantine regula tions may not be sufficient absolutely to exclude " the disease. The progress of medical and sanitary science has been snch, however, that if approved precau tions are taken at once to pat all of our cities and towns in the best sanitary con dition and provision is made for isolating any sporadic cases, and for a thorough dis infection, an epidemic can, T am sure, be avoided. This work appertains to the local authorities and the responsibility and the penalty will be appalling it it is neglected or unduly delayed. RESTRICT IMMIGRATION. We are peculiarly subject in our great ports to the spead of infectious diseases bj reason of the fact that unrestricted immi gration brings to us out of European cities, in the overcrowded steerages of great steamships a large number of persons whose surroundings make them easy victims of the plague. This consideration as well as these affecting the political ward, and industrial interests of our coun try leads me to ronow the suggestion that admission to our country aud to the high privileges of its citizenship, should be more restricted aad more careful. We have, I think, a right and owe a duty to our own people, and especially to our working people, not only to keep out the vicious, the ignorant,the civil disturber, the pauper, and the contract laborer.but to check the too great flow of immigration now coming by further limitations. WANAMAKBR'S INDUSTRY. The remarkable increase in revenues in the number of postoffices and mail carriage furnish furti er evidence of the high state of prosperity which our people are enjoy ing. New offices mean new hamlets and towns, new routes mean the extension ol «.nr border settlements, aDd increased rev enues mean an active commerce. The postmaster general reviews the whole per iod of his administration of the office and brings some of his statistics down to the month of November last. The postal rev enues have increased during the last year nearly $5,000,000. The deficit for the year endiDg June 30 1895, is $848,341 less than the deficiency of the preceding year . The deficiency of the present fiscal year it is estimated will be reduced to $1,552, 423. which will not only be extinguished during the next fiscal year, but a surplus of nearly one million dollars should then be shown. SILVER PURCHASES. During the last fiscal year the Secretary purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, 54,355,748 ounces of silver, and issued in payment therefore $51,190,608 in notes The total purchases since the passage of tho act have been 120,479,981 ounces, and the aggregate of notes issued $116,783,599. The average price paid for silver during the year was 94 cents per ounce, the high est price being $1.02} July 1. 1891, and the lowest $0 83 March 21. 1892. In view of the fact that the monetary conference is now sitting, and that no conclusion has been reached, I withhold any recommen dation as to legislation upon the subject The exhibit of the work of the executive departments is submitted to Congress and to the public, in the hope that there will be found in it a due sense of responsibility and an earnest purpose to maintain the national lionor and to promote the happi ness and prosperity of all our people. And this brief exhibit of the growth and pros perity of the country will give us a level from which to note the increase or deca dence that new legislative policies m»v bring to us. There is no reason why the national influence, power and prosperity should uot observe the same rates ol increase that have characterized the past 30 years. We carry the great impulse aud increase of these years into tho future. There is no reason why in many lines of production we should not surpass all other nations, as wo have already dono in some. There are no near frontiers to our possible development. Retrogression would be a crime. BBSJ. HARRISON. EXBCUTIVE MANSION, Dec. 6, 1892. Tns discovery that the rifles used by the German Army are worthless has a sensation in that country. Some of the officers have been in collusion with the contractor*, and inferior arms have been furnished the army. They Were Reunited. [Pittsburg Times] Thero was a pathetic scene at a hearing at Alderman John Cabill's office last even ing. A father, his erring daughter, the child he bad stole Iroru her, and the same one she abducted from him, were the lead ing ones in the drama. The lisped word "mamma" decided the case. The father is Frederick Barckley, a gro ceryman of No. 3942 Chouteau avenue, St. Louis. He had a blonde mustache cover ing the lines of hi 9 mouth, and bringing oat noticeably a German face, stern, but kiud. The daughter was a girl with a face pale but pretty, no suspicion ol' a bleach on her light hair, and with a countenance that bore traces of a hunted, anxious look. She was not more than 18, though she may have been less. The child, a sweet little fellow of of about four, with blue eyes, seemed to bo peeri ng iuto the fjturo for pants. He had no interest in the hearing at first, but at the end he decided jt. The story as told by Constable Tanner is one ol'interest. The girl, Stella Barckley, tended shop for her father. In St. Louis kindling wood is sold in grocery stores in five cent bundles. Delivering this wood was a young fellow named Kichard Scott whose morning visits Stella seemed to await with more interest than a majden whose mind was occupied with the cares of trade should. When Frederick Barckley learned the truth his daughter was sent to the hospital. He watched over her carefully aijd when she came home with her little boy, he seemed to have lost all love for her and to have, transferred his affections to the boy, for years before Stella's younger brother, his only son, bad been carried off by a fever. She went out at nights and he soon learned of it and followed her. He traced her to a corner where tfbe met young Scott. With all tho anger of a righteous father, he flew upon the pair aud tore his daugh ter from the side of her lover. He took her buiue and that night she disappeared with her child. Scott also left the city -and the girl's father following a clue found the tbrea a< Vincenne.-, Intl., and took the child away from them. His daughter be cast off and she aud Scott were left together. The child was taken back to St. Louis and kept there for three years. The mother went with Scott piesumably, and was never heard from until about 18 months ago when the baby disappeared. A strauge woman seen o'u the streets gave the father a clue, a slight one. He then kuew the mother and child had been reunited. lie had almost given up hope of ever hearing from either mother or boy until the daugh ter of a neighbor came in one day and in a burst of confidence said: "I've heard from Stella." The father talked to her and was to shat Stella's address was at 139 Sc Id street, Pittsburg. He came toPittsbntt and after finding where his daughter linrp tried to get the child, but she had seen bim and the child was kept safely within doors. Stella had rented rooms from Mrs. White, who lives at the number. Stella was employed in cleaning offices. Toe father called on Alderman Cahill and swore out awarrant charging his daughter with abduction. Countable Tanner took the*warrant, and last evening brought the daughter and child before Albcrman Ca hill. There a strauge meeting occurred. The little one looked at its grandfather, but would not go to him. The mother and father did not speak nor pretend to recognize eachotbor. Alderman Cahill heard the story of both and then called the child to him. ' The Al derman was of the opinion that the grand father was better able to take care of tho child than the mother, but thought he would borrow one of Solomon's ideas. He explained to the child thav. his grandfather wanted him and that he would iiava to go back to St. Louis with him. The GranJ father reached out his arms to the little fellow, but be caught sight of his weeping uiotuer in the other corner of the room, and he broke away from the Alderman, with his chubby hands outstretched appeal ingly, saying: "Mama, mama, don't cry." The suit was ended then. Aldermen Cabill decided that the child should a.'jy with iu "mama,'' The grandfather look ed at the two for an instant and then said with voice full ofajactjon: "Stella, will you come with me f" "Father," replied Stella, "1 wanted to go home iong, long ago, bat yoy n«s-or asked me." Gonxtable Tanner went to the girl's home ou Scott street, with them, where they told part of the story to the woman from whom ahe had rented the rooms, and then t'ney left (or the Union depot to no to St. Louis. The only one who seemed to b« happy was (he little one. Undesirable Immigrants. An interesting phase of the immigration question is now attracting attention in Xew York. ' The number o." Italians who come to the United States to work during the pleasant months ar.d return to Italy at this season of the year to spend their earn ings has become so large that some of the finest steamships which now cross the At lantic are engaged in that trade. The two German steamship lines are this Fall run ning their best ships »o Italian ports, in addition to the regular Mediterranean liaes. Every one of these vessels that has sail ed this Autumn so far has been unable to meet the demand for steerage accommoda tions. The Fa Id a took 900 on Saturday, but was obliged to leave several han dred persons behind, who «ill sail in another vessel to-morrow. On the 17th the Fuerst Bismark turned away 700 of these Italians lor lack of room. Judging from the past experience and the demand for tickets, it is estimated that over 10,000 Italians will go back to Italy to spend the Winter or remain therc.and they will take with them at least $2,000,000, saved during their stay on this. Is this kind of immigration desirable f These men do not come here to live per manently. They do not bring their fam lies. But they are enabled by their meth od of living to savo enough in a few months to keep themselves and and their fatnlies in Italy for a long time. One of these mgn testified before the Congressional Commute on Immigration, sitting in Xew York, as follows: At home I was a farmer. My pay was 10 i ents a day and meals. Q. Meals for yourself aloue, or yourself and family t A. No, the meals were for mo and the family fed on the 10 cents. Q No lodgings were included, you had to lodge yourself f A. I had to bed myself. Q. When you land ed in this country were you in possession of any money or property f A. Nothing, sir. No property. (}. Were you able to live on this 10 cents a day in Italy and three mealsf A. Well, it was found to be enongh by taking care and paying as best I could. It cau easily be seen how great a sum S2OO is ii Italy to such a man. Ho gets $1.35 here for the same amount of work for which he was paid 24 cents without meals in Italy. If he remained here and became a citizen, that wou'd be quite a different mattei. But when he comes here to coin pete with Americans, and then Chinese like takes himself and his earning to a for eign country, it is quite evident that some thing should be done to discourage his re turn. Immigration of that kind is clearly undesirable. Philadelphia Press. Mt. Chestnut Items. Our school—Hill and Ridge—are pro gressing nicely under the supervision of ffm. Stoops and Nora Oesterling.

The order of Mayor Gourley closing the houses of ill repute in the city of Pitts burg, and the haste in which it was exe cuted by the Chief ot Police created a sen sation in that city, last Wedn^sda} - . On Thursday, tort/ of the keepers of such places, some of whom have po*n wealthy, visited his office in City Hall and wanted to know what h* 1 intended doing for them He, of course, could do noth ing. and said s>, though he criticized Chief Brown's haste in the matter of evict ing the women, as indecent and inhuman A number of the women visited Rev. Me- Crory. and other ministers that day. and a few of them left the city. On Friday. Chiel Brown revoked the order closing the houses, giving as his reason for so doing the criticisms of Mayor Gourley: and invited the Mayor to fix the day for closing. On Saturday Mayor Gourley reiterated his order to Chief Brown, and in his letter to him said: My order to you of November 30, refer red to in your communication to yonr Su perintendent, did not direct you to eject the inmates of houses of ill-fame; it simply and only directed you to enforce the law against all house- of ill repute in the city. And to prevent any possible misunder standing I quoted in the communication mentioned the full text of the law under which yun were to act, and which consti tutes the only authority for any action at all by you or me in the premises. By referring to the law or ordinance quoted, and which I askod you to enforce, by no pretense can you find a scintilla of authority for summarily ejecting the in mates of houses of ill repute or of summar ily closing such houses by driving the in mates out of their homes upon the streets. To the end of suppressing such bonses the law gives your department power to ,-ar rust every keeper therof and every person found therein, and to bring all such per sons betore the police magistrates of said city for examination and hearing, and each person found guilty after trial shall be fined for each offense." This law onlj convicts after "examina tion and hearing.'" and does not profess to invest you or ine with despotic power to banish into the streets and make homeless and shelterless even women of ill fame without "arrest, examination and hear ing." And even after conviction upon such ' examination and hearing'' it does not im pose a sentence of ejectment from the house, but a fine, and, in default of pay ment, imprisonment. You cannot fail to see that yonr order of November 30, as reported to me by yon, to drive these women out upon the streets and to close and keep closed the doors of the houses, is not warranted by the law or by anything in my communication of that date directing you "to enforce the law against all houses of ill repute." Your sole power in the premises, under the law, is "to arrest every'keeper and every per son found in such houses, and take them before the police magistrates for "examin ation and hearing." your power under the law is then exhausted and yonr duty fully done. I am convinced that if you confine your self to the simple discharge of your duty as a sworn officer, from day to day, under the power given yon all houses of ill repute will soon be closed, without any unauthor ized and illegal order from you to such ef fect. ; Inasmuch as these houses of shame have for five years been allowed by yonr depart ment to live and flourish, it would produce cruel and unnecessary suffering to at once and upon a few hours' notice fill the patrol wagon with prisoners, many of whom would certainly be unable to pay their fines. As you have lod these women to believe they could conduct their business in this city with safety, 1 would suggest that jou serve notice upon them that after a reason able time, sufficient time to allow them to arrange for shelter elsewhere, a week if you please, you will enforce the law by ar resting, from day to day, inmate or keeper of snch houses, and leave it to the police magistrates to inflict the senteuce of the law upon such as may be found guilty. I believe that if you pursue this course, the ouly course within the line of your duty, and the only course permitted by the law, these houses will soon, very soon, disap pear. Should this course uot accomplish the purpose, I beg to refer you to the act of assembly approve March 31, 16G9, P. L. 394, which reads as follows: "If any shall keep and maintain bawdy hon?o, etc., or shall knowingly let or de mise a house, or part therenf to be so kept, he or she shall be guilty of a disdeineauor. aud on conviettion be sentencou to pay a line not exceeding SI,OOO, and to undergo an imprisonment not exceeding two years. The correspondence between the Mayor and the Chief of Police was the principal topic of conversation about City Hall, that day. , THE PRESS (NEW YORK.) FOE 1893.
