new navy and. moreover, would possess an all important essential light draught to enable thorn to enter tho upper Potomac. ITnfortnnately. however, both these ships havo beeu ordered away on emergencies, tho Concord to Vonezuela and the Kearsage to the West Indies. It was necessary to send them, and tho department has no other chips available for duty at the encampment.

Mr. Soley expressed the departments regrotB at being unablo to comply with the request and demonstrated to the committee that tho situation is unavoidable. Late this evening Mr. Soley signed and sent out the following circular: Navy Department. September 3, 1 Sir Applications have been made to the department in behalf of tho employes at navy yards and navy stations, who ore members of posts of the Grand Army of the Republic, for leave of absence, with pay for about sevon days during the present month, September, to enable them to attend tho grand encampment of said organization at Washington.

D. C. The department regrets that it is not in tho power, in view of existinj law. to allow loavo of absence to per diem employes at navy yards and naval stations, but sick men as desiro it will be permitted to absent themselves from the navy yard or naval station under your command for tho purpose above stated without the loss of their positions, provided they promptly report and resume work on their return, and any rule of the yard to the contrary will bo waived in their case. Salaried employes who havo and who have not been absent on lesvo for the full period allowed riming the calendar year may bo granted leave for the purpose above mentioned, "without reference to their applications therefor to the department, but any time of absence in excess of said period must bo without pay.

Very respectfully, Signed James H. Soley. Labor day, Monday next, will he generally ob mcnt would ho exemplified. Monday will be time enough for heavy wagers. The pool rooms will be open all day to morrow, mi announcement to that effect having been made in chalk on a blackboard ground, while halt a dozen policemen looked on unconcerned.

It will probably be a lively Sunday in the history of New Orleans. The Olympic club will open its arena early in the morning and close it late at night. It has invited the public to inspect the ring and to go through tho new club hou e. By I o'clock this afternoon every sea; had been sold, and not many the general admission tickets remained to be disposed of. This means that in a financial sense of the word the three fights will break the record.

Unquestionably the club will clear 3.10.000. and some of its officials think the profits will exceed that amount considerably. There isalready abig combine iti fighting clubs with the view of cutting down purses. Such a programme aud such profits are not likely to go into fighting history again, and tho idea of a combine is to bring about a situation of affairs in which no club shall outbid another. It would probably be a difficult matter to bring any to such terms.

The Coney Inland athletic club, with of pooplo to draw from, can easily outbid and Southern and Western clubs, and the Olympic officials think that they will this week reach a limit which will never bo accessible to them again. They owe their present supremacy to the courage ami decision of their president, Charles No who sent within live minutes of the receipt of a dispatch of inquiry an answer offering the 000 purse. Not even courage and decision, however, can save him from the Coney Island athletic club's successful rivalry, if tho managers of that concern display half the energy and capacity shown by Mr. Noel. The Olympic has chartered a special train for the purpose of meeting Sullivan on his way here.

Noel does nothing in a half hearted fashion and he is making the fighters feel that they are in capable and safe hands. There has been some talk of possible interference, but from the governor of the state down there isn't an official who has any other desire than to see the three lights occur without a hitch. At a late hour to night President Noel returned Bay St.Louis. here he saw McAidiife and Skelly. He is satisfied that no two men were ever in better shape to wear the As to Skelly tho most positive assurances of his fitness to light can be given to his Brooklyn friends.

He is as lino as silk, but the dangers of overdoing it in training have? been carefully avoided. He is in splendid spirits and is as sanguine as ever as to the result of the light. All that has ever been said as to his convictions on that subject holds good now, and he is certain that next week Brooklyn will have two champions in ItornESTKn, N. September "A special from Batavia, received at midnight, announces that a seriotn wreck has occnred on tho Central at that place. The wreck was caused by the collision of train 2K0 with the engine of the peanut branch of tho Lehigh.

Thero is iui engineer and fireman in the wreck and possibly more. HE ROBBED OCHA.Y STEAMSHIPS, But Was Captured Yesterday on tlic Tourainv, For some time past the berths of the. great ocean liners have been robbed jmt before tho steamer sailed. The pier of the French lino is No. 4' on the North, river mid is the usual covered shed, with its accumulation of freight and baggage of all kinds.

Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Nitoviteh, two wealthy Russians, had booked'their passage on the steamship. As tho boat sailed at a very early hour, they went aboard the previous night, and at about 10 o'clock retired to their cabin. At 3:110 in the moruini! Mrs.

Nitovich was awakened by someone in the cabin. Her screams nwoke her husband and then began a steeplechase 'over boxes, around bales, in and out between kegs aud barrels and around the dark shed. Mr. Nitoviteh skinned his shins, stubbed his Russia toes and is said to have made some remarks in the choicest adjectives that his language afforded. The noise awoke tho three watchmen on the pier.

Seeing the white rolled figure in wild pursuit of a man, they concluded that something was wrong and joined in the sport. Detectives Mnllon and McAdam ami Watchman West soon had the thief cornered aud captured him. Having done this, they searched him and found S133 in his insido pocket, which Mr. Nitoviteh claimed as his own. The prisoner stoutly maintained that the money was his.

In his pockets was found a card bearing tho inscription: Toitehard L'Allemnnd, shipping and forwarding agent. Havre. Paris and Kouen. Represented by Mr. (1.

(ruillot." He was arraigned yesterday in the Jefferson market police court. New York" and admitted that he was (Iniilot and that his address was 1.10X Lexington avenue. New York. He was defended by ex Judge Callahan and alleged tint tho money was his own. He would give no explanation, however, as to his presence on the pier at o'clock in tho morning.

Charier G. West, the superintendent of the pier, was the complainant and the prisoner was hold in $1,000 baii to await the action of the grand jury. Mr. an 1 Mrs. Nitoviteh departed on their journey, but the husband promised to return in three weeks to prosecute the prisoner.

AN' I.HMENSE WATERWAY It is Cocatcil in tixv rj.iluiiies Valley ana Will Prove Very Valuable. Ciiicaoo, 111.. September At noon to day near Leiuont. about forty miles from this city down the esplaines valley, with all tho formalities atid ceremonies appropriate to so important an event, ground was broken for the great drainage canal and the work of constructing the immense waterway bet ween the great lakes and the gulf of Mexico is under way. Directly at the point where tha center lino of the main channel of the canal intersects the boundary between Will and Cook counties, on the very backbone of the "Chicago divide" President Frank Weuter of the board of trustees of the sanitary district of Chicago thrust a nickel plated shovel into tho earth and turned up the shovel full of sand while the assombled multitude shouted its applause.

This was the first act in tho actual excavations of the water way preparations which have been going on for the hist seven years. The enterprise will rank when completed with the most important of modern marvels of engineering. To witness this beginning of the mighty work were gathered prominent men from all parts of the state. Tnr: sultan' i. a quandary.

But He in Preparing to dirapplc TVitH llie Scourye, Constantinople. Sept. The sultan is a quandary as to what measuros to adopt toward travelers arriving tu Turkey from cholera infected countries. Some of tho representatives hero of foreign natious insist upon the government ordering a stringent and protracted quarantine against all such persons, while others are of the opinion that only a medical inspection is necessary. The sultan is bound to offend the representatives of the homo government whichever way he decides.

Early in the week the inhabitants of this city were much scared by tho report that cholera had broken oat in the Kassim Paeha quarters, wdiere throe gypsies had beer, taken with a suspicious illness. Tho sultan was insormed of the matter at 10 o'clock at night aud was greatly alarmed at the news which was conveyed to him. Ho at once gave orders to have the whole district cordoned by troops and gave instructions to those in charge to allow nobody to pass tho lines until morning. OLIVE TURNER'S APPLICATION DENIED. Mr.

Wornwcr Escapes Paying1 Counsel Fee and Alimony. Tho application of Olive Kent Turner for counsel fees and alimony in her action to establish a common law marriage with Maurice S. Wormser was denied yesterday by Justice Patterson of the supreme court in New York. In dismissing the case the justice said: "There is nothimr to support the plaintiff's case but her own words, while there is an overwhelming mass of testimony to show that the plaintiff was known as the mistress of the defendant." Tho woman wanted $100 a week almouy and $1,000 for counsel fees. As Mr.

Wormser is prominent in business aud society, and was reeentty married, the case has attracted a great deal of attention. THIS AKHKST WAS TIMELY. Roundsman Kennedy and Policeman Shay of the Fifteenth precinct last night saw a yonn man driving a horse at a furious rate along Cumberland street. They stopped the horse and arrested the driver. Half an hour later James Morrison, a grocer whose place of business is at .10 Henry street, reported that a horse and wagon worth $2.10 had been stolen from in front of his store.

He identified the property found in the prisoner's possession as his and the young man who drove so furiously. James Decolia. 1 9 years old and homeless, was locked up for horse stealing. TB0CBI.E IN A CMTAKIA.N CBT1ECII. Toronto, Sept.

A Cleveland banner was swung last night by tho Eighteenth ward Democracy over tho corner of Powers and Olive stroets." Tho event was celebrated by a parade and mass mooting aud also by a liberal display of fireworks. Numerous Democratic banners will fly in the ward, but the first Republican banner there has yet to be swung. Last night's banner was raised by tho regular Democratic organization of the ward. All tho Democratic clubs of tho ward took part in the procession. Tlieso were tha Peter Beilmau battery, 300 men with their new inch brass gun; the pioneers under Captain George Kess and the regular battery under Captain William Blanchfiol'd; tho Empire club, son men, under John Carrol; the Sabo Corosa Italian club, 100 men; the Fifth district Cleveland club, eighty men under William Teller; the Jefferson club, 180 men under Edward Glinnon; tho Loren Eberth club, ninety men under Joseph Waif: add the German Cleveland club, 140 men under Frederick Stein inger.

The parade was through every section of the ward. Fiery salutes greeted the processionists everywhere, especially in Frost street, where every house between Humboldt street and Kings land avenue was illuminated. It was nearly 0 o'clock when tho mass meeting was begun. This was held in Deckelman's Concordia hall. Devon and Olivo streets.

Thoma3 E. Delanoy called tho meeting to order anil Peter Beilman was elected chairman. The first speaker was Herman R. Baehrach, who is Commissioner John Ennis' great find in tho oratorial gold mine and isoing to cast his first vote next November. Mr.

Bacnrach spoke chiefly on the tariff and the force bill. He was interrupted a few times by a man in the front seat, who had evidently boon drinking too much of Newtown creek beverages. Finally, the. man framed this question: "Is free trade beneficial to this country?" "Without going into that question just said Mr. Baehrach.

in the best of humor, "I can say that no recognized man in the Democratic, party, no platform in the Democratic party has every declared for trade. It has never been advocated except by some of the most radical and irresponsible men in tho Democratic party, but all Deniocrats.do stand in opposition to the present excessive tariff, because they know it to be a tariff which burdens the people and which makes the very rich richer and the poor poorer. Applause greeted the answer and a littlo later when the quor tioncrbecame not only iusistont but disorderly ho was put out of the hall by sonio of the Peter Beilman battery members despite Mr. Bach rach's assertions that ho would rathor talk to one republican than to a whole nudienco of Democrats. Other speakers wore Franz Beck and Assistant District Attorney Callahan.

ANOTHER NAVAL COLLEGE CHANGE. Secretary Tracy Will Sot be Ablo to be PreMent. Newpokt, R. September The date of the opening of the Naval war college has again been changed, the time now sot being Tuesday at 10:30 o'clock. Secretary Tracy sailed for New York 011 tho Dolphin today, after witnessing a trial of the Howell torpedo and his presence at the opening exercises of the college cannot be had.

Captain Mahan to day received advices from Washington that to date twenty two officers had been detailed to attend the coming session, and that United States steamship Chicago may be expected to arrive on the day of tho opening of the college. The plan of the courso at the college has not been changed from that decided upon several weeks since, and the lectures by Captain Mahan will begin immediately after the opening exercises are completed.

New Chileans, September 3 This town is fighting inad to night. The man from Boston has not arrived yet and won't bo here till to morrow niorniin, but his ponderous trc.id is not needed to shake up New Orleans.

When yon seo a Southerner displaying sifrns of activity there 'is gravity in the situation. He does it as a last recourse, and when there is literally nothing else for it. He is not sleeping, but lie strikes his gait in early life and never sets over it. The barber occupies the chair you are about to take. Ho favors you with a look as you walk in, just to satisfy himself that the necessity for rising is positive and unavoidable and slowly lowers his feet, which are higher than his head.

Ho is in one respect a model. He doesn't talk to you and rather prefers not to be spoken to. The bootblack into whose chair yon climb looks at you indifferently, finishes the paragraph ho is reading, rolls a cigarette before beginning operations, and commences with the reflection that ho has all the time there is. As it is with the barber and the bootblack, so it is in a corresponding degree with everybody else. Whatever a Southerner ever knew about he has hastened to forge; If anything will put spurs to man it is tho excitement of a gambling rc.om.

City ordinance prohibit gambling, but there is a grett different" between prohibiting and In no New Orieaus gambling house will you iind the indication that anybody is particularly interested in what is going on. Nobody is in a harry and nobody be trays any sin ot emotion. Ail the same, New Orleans is suffering from a severe attack of tightiuc: fever. The only names you hear in pool rooms, barrooms, hotels and on the streets aro those of the half dozen pugilists! who will contend for supremacy next week, i heir records anu tneir characteri'ties are excitedly discussed on every corner. The city seems to havo conn' uded no; to go to sleep tonight.

Perhaps it has made up its mind to wait for John L. SuUi an. Within two bloo'is of the biggest hotel in the Crescent city and on the same street is what is known as "l'roiessor Duffy's arena." The professor is an exponent of the art, which the lym pic club is doing so much to foster. He will referee the three big light), and has the rep tation of being as squure and fearless a man as Louisiana can produce He is coins North in a few days and has promised himself the pleasuro of a visit to the Hauls office, where I have assured him of a cordial welcome. He dresses cither all in black or all in white and quite sure to figure in a shoot ins: scrape as soon as the prison doors are opened on a man who wants to take his life and who aays he'll put a bullet throujh 'Die prospect of a little difficulty with tho prisoner docs not trouble Mr.

Duffy. It would be hard to iiud anybody in New Orleans who does not know him. "You must come down to my place to ho said, "and Til show you some boxing. There are clever boxers here and Professor Duffy's arena was packed. To morrow night tho sporting multitude will surge about the doors of the Grand opera house, whore Bob Fitzsimmons will make it lively tor two or three locxl aspirants for pugilistij fame.

Fitzsinimcnsh a country home at Bay St. Louis. He can afford to koop it after lighting his way to the top in Australia at two or three hundred dollars a combat. Ho was glad enough to have a chance here to win nine tenths of a thousand dollar purse. Now ho wouldn't think of accommodating anyono at a figure less than 310,000.

and his next fight will probably be for a larger sum than that. Fit.simmons can be convicted of no want of shrewdness. Of all tho lighters he is, perhaps, the thriftiest and shiftiest. As rapidly as possible he is putting money his purse and as much as possible. When ho is 3Ut with his friends ho spends, and spends liber illy, but his carousals are few and far between, ind oven when they are at their height ho stops 5n the right side of prodigality.

If he thinks there is a man in the world ho cannot whip that man is Sullivan, and he isn't suro that even Sullivan would find it possible to dispose of him. Ho will, of course, bo seen on tho stage this fall. When he talks of the theater he twists phrases juito ingeniously. Actors sometimes tight upon the itage. He said: "Why shouldn't lighters sometimes act upon the The business of both is io entertain an audience, and honors are about svenly divided between two professionals.

We don't price our reputations when we upon tho stage. Wo risk them in ring, and when we lose them there we do so before the footlights. So far as we are concerned ho stage need not be alarmed about us. for there lever will be many of us on it. Only the suc pugilist can be a successful actor, anless it happens that one of us develops is much stage as pugilistic art.

which would be rather extraordinary. I am on the road to make tuoney, or I'll make money on the road, jus; as fou like to put it. but I would very much like to save a chance at someone before the theatrical loason started in." Australian Bob thinks that Sullivan, Myer aud Dixon will be victorious. Ho is especially impressed with Dixon's cleverness, and thinks the tolored lighter's task the easiest of the lot. He iocs not seo how Dixon can bo surpassed as a handed fisher, and believes that the little thampion's meteor like rushes will settle Skelly Deforo a dozen rounds have been fought.

This has been a busy day at Bay St. Louis. AH lands have had enough to do. Preparations for leparture began at daylight and were not cou duded when the sun went down. They will he tesnmed to morrow and they will be especially ictive, so far as McAulin'e is concerned.

He frill do some work to morrow, but not more than enough to deserve the name. 'Ho may long ago have been in better shape Jefore a fight, but not within recent years. He would not train hard if he could and he couldn't he would. He will never become bound because incossant toil. Ho says he is not built to itand that kind of thing; that it would rob Jim of his elasticity and toughen his sinews at ihe oxpense of their power for rapid movement.

He takes refuge in the recollection that what is ue man's meat is another man's poison, and leclares that if he did as other pugilists do he ould be as stiff and sluggish as an antiquated horse. So happens that tho man who to meet Myer on Monday evening is not trained down fine. He is no; on edge. He is a picture of perfect health, without that drawn ooK which fighters in often take into the ring ffith them. The thought of what he has to do on llonday takes away none of his peace of mind.

He drops a cor.itortablo doze without the east delay when he thinks he needs a nap, and iasn't a word to say about the coming contest Inless somebody brings up the subject. Ho has tever gone further than to say he ought to win. Jut he is backing himself with every dollar he ias in tho world, which means, of course, that he confident of victory. In tho meantime his antagonist is keeping very luiot at varroiton, one oi tne sunurbs of my. myer was accompanied uy an excoedin imposing delegation trom Illinois, every man of whom seems to carry financial guns of heavy aliber.

Many of them were bitterly disappointed irhen they walked into the pool rooms here. They ixpectedto find that McAulitfe was the favorite ind that they would be ablo to place their money I the Cyclone at fairly good odds. For this expectation thoy tad tho best of reasons. Me auliffe is still tb.6 undefeated monarch of his Ho has held his own against all comers for i long time, and for an equally long time has seen the favorite. Whenever ho has been ono of Ihe subjects of a wagor, he is really in tho saroo position as Sullivan and Dixon both of whom Have records substantially similar to his own and Soth of whom are strong favorites in tho pool rooms here and elsewhere.

Myer's traveling tompanions think they should get to 4 instead if being called upon to pay 5 to 4. The McAuliffe Myor quotation may vary slightly to morrow, but it isn't likely that there will bo any great change, unless nomo big plunges are made on one side or tho other.

SomR Objections to the Present System of Disinfection What Harrison's Message of Acceptance is Erpeclet) to Contain Blaine's Campaign Contribution Will Concern Itself Entirely With Reciprocity. Special to tho Eagle. Washington, D. September 3 Three matters of importance absorbod tho interest of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Spalding this afternoon. First, tho coming to Washington of Dr.

J. B. Hamilton, ex surgeon general. Secondly, the news from New York of the arrival of two more ships with cholera aboard, and, third, the story published in the evening papers here and sent out by the associated press to the effect that cholera had appeared in DrooMyu and that there was certainly one well developed case there. Mr.

Spauldint was particularly glad to seo TJr. Hamilton, and the two had a long interview together. It is understood that the ex surgeon general will bo placed in charge of the quarantine on the Canadian border. About tho treasury department a story was current this afternoon that Surgeon General Wyniau was very much opposed to Dr. Hamilton being sunt for.

and that ho had delayed posting the despatch summoning him here, unti peremptorily ordered to do so by Secretary Foster. To the correspondent of the Eaule Assistant Secretary Spaulding said this evening that, whatever liealth Officer Jenkins might do, the officials of the federal government would take good care that the order of twenty days' quarantine made in the President's proclamation was carried out. added Mr. Spaulding, "we do not expect to have any friction with tho local authorities in Now York or anywhere else." Speaking of the etaud taken by Health Officer Jenkins, the Washington says editorially to night: "Now in such a moment as this with a dreadful invasion impending anil with an immense territory to protect under gravo disadvantages there should be 110 conflict of authority and the public, without regard to technicalities in the case, will not excuse the man or men through whom trouble arises and danger is increased. But the public will also insist that the preseu uncertainty cannot continue and must be stopped as soon as possible.

Tliero is ono constitutional mode of putting a stop to it tho passage by congress in extra or regular session of a statute that shall give the national authorities all the powers in the premises that this or any similar crisis requires to be vested in them. Some of tho treasury officials aro pronounced in expressing it as their opinion that tho present quarantine precautious that are being taken will not be sufficient to keep the cholera out of this country. Ono of them said to day "It was futile, really, to be insisting on a procession of a ship's passengers and crew, single file, before ono ar two harbor physicians, and that a most hurried inspection, and equally futile to disinfect mails anil immigrants, old beds and bedding and chests, so long a merchandize is allowed to bo landed that has been packed in an atmosphere here cholera germs exist, to be opened and libereted in our cities and especially in the little shops kept by foreigners in the dirtiest sections. In the almost annual visitations of yellow fever to the city Charleston. S.

before she at a heavy but well ordered expense adopted her preHout magnificent tidal drainage which has given that city a condition of healthful uess that is exceptional. For several years tho visitations of that scourge were tracablo to hogsheads of sugar packed in South American ports where tho yellow fever was at tho time prevailing, and, despite the strict quarantine regulations at Charleston, this disease would creep in. It was for some time that relatives of mine, who were physicians there and had had largo oxperience with yellow fover, pressed the importance of taking as great precautious against cargos from iufoctod ports as against passengers and baggage. In time the result proved the wisdom of such precaution. In 1SU3, during the war.

of course, aud when the port of Charleston was closely blockaded and 110 commerce by water was had with tho outside world, save occasionally by a blockade runner and then only to bring in arms and general munitions of war, tho city was less than ever exposed to the yellow fover being introduced by passengers or merchandize. But in 1S03 a small steamer which had gotten out of tho harbor in the night returned in about a month or six weeks and successfully ran the blockade into port with a cargo of war materials for the con 'federato government. Sailing from a Smith American port where, at the time, the yellow fever washy no means widely prevailing but had rather broken out only a few weeks before, on her arrival in Charleston she was quarantined as far away as the Ashley river at the back of the city would allow. There was no case of yellow fover on tho steamship as I remember and no indication of danger about her. as far as could be discovered by inspection of her officers and crew.

One of the officers however a few days after the arrival of this steamer ni this harbor, had sent up to the city for a lady friend there, for whom ho had brought it, a box of fruit packed in the port from which they had sailed. Within a week or ten days of the opening of that box and the liberating of its pent up air, charged with yellow fever germs, this terrible fever broke out in Charleston and carried off quite a number of persons, among them some prominent confederate officers, (General Jamison one of them), who were not acclimated residents. "Hist these facts are sufficient to show the wisdom of the caution about merchandise from infected ports, or even from Europeanports almost anywhero, if we would guard our country from the cholera plague through one of the principal sources of danger, l'or quite as much danger lies. I think, in merchandise as in passengers, baggage and mail matter." There is a great deal of speculation as to the probable contents of President Harrison's lette of acceptance. It is assumed, as a matter course, tnat tne tanti will oe the princi pal que tion discussed and that there will be a strong defense of the McKinley bill, with especial reference to tho reciprocity feature, with a review of what has been accom plished under it, and a general defense of the Republican protection policy.

It is said that the President will not avoid the force bill question, but will refer to it in such a manner as not to admit of its beiag made an issue in this campaign, and with relation to financial questions, it is said that he will tako strong grounds against the Democratic proposition to restore the state bank currency and wil. present the Republican party as the defender of honest money. Ho will probably tourh upon the record of the Republican administration and Republican congress. It is expected that the letter Mr. Blaine issaid to be preparing as his contribution to the republican campaign literature will be on the subject of reciprocity, and that he will tako tho grounds that tho highest necessary measure of protection should be yielded only in consideration of reciprocal favors from foreign countries, and that always in tho reduction of tariff duties the reciprocity plan, which he advocated when the McKinley bill was under consideration by congress should bo adopted.

It is thought that in this connection ho will call attention to what has been accomplished through reciprocity aud point out future possibilities. He is expected to make the a His of his attack upon tho Democratic position, that by their policy of reducing the tarifi. thov would abandon the weapons to be used in com pellin gforeign countries to uo commercial iustic to the United States.

SI. Palmer May Xot Be at the Olympic Combats, Though HLs Fjistern District Establishment Has Contributed Some of the Skillful Boxers.

Special to the Eagle. New Om.EASs, September Tho ruins of a big cooporago overlook a Now Orleans wharf. They arc what Is loft of the Brooklyn cooperage company's establishment here. The fire which swept away $400,000 worth of property is also responsible for the presence in tho Crescent city of Mr. L.

31. Palmer, a Brookiynito who is many times a millionaire and whoso cooporage inter est 111 the easteru district makes a large total in the business of the Wallabout. Just how tho fire started nobodv can tell but it put a swift termination to the production of about eight thonsand barrels a day and it a structure as broad as it was long and 300 feet in length. It was a royal blaze. Barrel staves make first class fuel, and when a lively breeze contributes its share of the porformanc.

thoy don't last a great while. Mr. Palmer knows exactly what the fire looked like, for, though he didn't seo it, a camera fiend was on deck, so that tne spectacle, in spito oi its lleetmtr character. was preserved for him. It will be two weeks ago to morrow when tbA flames broke out and New Orleans waB makinir preparations for attending divine services.

The hre was big enough to keen ont of their many devout residents of the Crescent city to uom aau ueen conveyed the alarming intimation that pretty near tho entire water front was) being consumed. Nobody knows iust how t.h flames broko out, but overybody thinks that tha hand of an incendiary started the giant blaze. All this is preliminary, to the announcement published in tho newspapers hero yesterday that a wealthy resident of Brooklyn had contributed $r00 to the fund set apart for street cleaning purposes. With a natural interest in Brooklyr.ites, especially public spirited Brooklynitcs, I made some inquiries. They resulted in the discovery that the owner of the $500 was also tho principal proprietor of tho destroyed cooperage.

It was a solitary and lonely contribution made by a man who does not livo here and whose interest in New Orleans streets cannot be expected to match that which ho taken in Brooklyn thoroughfares. The subscription looked peculiar enough to justify a little impertinent curiosity, more especially as it, has never been made to appear that Mr. Palmer ever drew a check to the order of Brooklyn street cleaning officials. It looked like a case of unfair discrimination against the city of his home until your correspondent's curiousity was rewarded. Mr.

Palmer had a favor to ask. Ho is sunoosafl to be knocking at the doors of tho city council here for a permit to rebuild. It might bo presumed that tho city council would, for the purpose of fostering local industry, bo only too glad to grant the permit, but city councils are peculiar and corporations which aro notoriously rich sometimes havo a profit and loss account when thoy are looking for official favors. The matter is in the hands of the public improvement committee. It is peacefully reposing thero and in tho meantime quite a vigorous opposition to the rebuilding of the cooperage has been organized.

Tho committee will meet again on Monday and gravely discuss tho whole affair. The amusing part of the situation is that Mr. Palmer, who is exceedingly wideawake, already has his permit in his pocket. I called at the cooperage office, on Canal street, and asked what Mr. Palmer's permit prospects were.

With a significant lowering of his left eyelid, one of tho clerks said: 'Oh, that sail right. He's got his permit." 'But," I submitted, "the committee hasn't yet taken definite action." Down went the same eyelid in the same sin nificant way, as the clerk responded: "Ho already has his permit, just the 6ame. I wish I could afford to go and soe tho fight, but I can't." Between the conflagration, the cooperc.ee and tho contribution thero is of ooursono connection. nono whatover. It would take 9300,000 jo clean tho streets of Now Orleans.

Slimy waters How sluggishly through its gutters or remain there, as tho case may bo. Littfe canals they are on either side of tho street, thickening into mud below the curb and exhaling miasma with great perseverance and success. Mr. Palmer won't remain hero long enough to see the streets cleaned. That would bo out of the question, if he stayed here all his life.

But cooperage, contribution and committee aro all right up to the present time and Mr. Palmer is in the habit of getting what ho wants. I failed to find him at his office. Whether he will attend the Olympic combats or not cannot therefore be stated. His eastern district cooperage has given champions to the world, and that interesting fact may take him to tho arena.

Its most famous graduates are Dempsoy. MeAuliffe and Skolly, and it has been almost as productive of skillful boxers as of well made barrels. OBITUARY. Two Old and Kespec.ted Citizens Sac cumu 10 inc uieviiauic. Joseph T.

A GREAT CATHOLIC COYGRESS Advocates tlic Itcstoratiott of tlic Temporal Power ot tile Iope.

By the Associated Press. Berlin. September 3 A great Catholic congress has been held at Mainz, at which tho leaders of the centre party, Herren Balles trem, Bollinger, Kitteler and Reichsen speiger. spoke. At its final sitting tho congress approved a resolution affirming that tho restoration of the pope to temporrl power was an essential condition to the independence of the holy see.

Herr Ballestrem, in his closing oration, declared that the Catholics in Germany would nover consent that the Pope should bo subject to any power. The law of guarantees could not suffice to protect the papacy. Nevertheless, the center party, said, could not recognize any enmity between the objects of the triple alliance and the papacy. The pope was not. as some Catholics pretended, hostile to the triple alliance, por was the center party embar rassod by tho policy of the Vatican.

The congress sat for five days. Herr Balles trem's discourse way meant as a reply to the attacks on the center party as associated with the papal policy in favor of France. His speech has created a sensation. The German minister to the United States has left here for Switzerland. Mrs.

William Wal ter Phelps, wife of the American minister, sailed from Bremen for New York on the steamship Aller to day.

MASSACHUSETTS NOW A DOUBTFUL STATE. Mr. Carlisle Says It S2a.s Been Taken From tlie ItcpuMicaii Column.

In speaking of tho national political situation Senator G. Carlisle of Kentucky, who was at Democratic national headquarters in New York yesterday, said that he thought that New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana were now in a much better condition from a Democratic standpoint than they were in 1888. and that Massachusetts has been changed from a Kepublican to a doubtful state. Senator Carlislo did not think that tho third party vote in the South would very much impair Democratic strength thero.

The child was picked up and caaried homo. It was not thought then that Christian was badly injured, but that night he became very sick and Dr. Ermen traut of Central avenue was called in. The injured boy rapidly sank and died at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Dr, Ermentraut reported tho case at once to the police of the Cedar street station and last night Detective Sergeant Miller arrested Elohs on a charge of homicide.

COKBETT OFF FOR NEW ORLEANS, A Great Crowd at tlic Station To Vih ESim Good r.uck. Asiicry Park, N.

September Corhett is off. He left his training ouarters at Loch Arbor, N. at precisely It! o'clock and, accompar uied by the steamship Trenton's band and about a thousand people, rode to Asbury Park station, where he awaited the arrival of the Pennsylvania train No. 07. scheduled toleave at Upon Corbott's arrival at the station all was confusion The thousands uf spectators who had gathered at the station to give the big Californian a send off besieged him from all sides to grasp his hand and bid him goodby and good luck, Corhett frequent ly having to use both hands, so great was tho crowd of well wishers.

As soon as the train slowed up at the station Corhett and Manager Brady entered the rear car, followed by the rest of the party. They had hardly been seated when one of Corbett's friends rushed up to the window and called out: "For God's sake. Jim, get in the other car This is one No. and that will never do Manager Brady leaped on to the platform, looked at tho number on tho side of the ear and rushed back, and told Corhett to got into the forward car. The change was instantly made, despite the protests of the youthful brakesman.

There was an abundance of rice and old shoes thrown at Corhett as he entered his car. As the train pulled out, bearing the tighter onhis journey to meet the world's champion, the band, which had in the meantime been playing "Yankee Doodle," "Away Down in Dixie'' and other national airs, struck up "Auld Lang Syne." Mrs. Corbet who had arrived a half hour before the train pulled out, stood by her husband's side and thanked the women aud men for their many good wishes for her husband. Corhett utilized the morning hours by punching the bag. The training quarters had been thrown open to the public and hundreds congregated inside and around the doors and windows.

After punching the bag for five minutes the pugilist knocked the wind out of it and immediately the cry went up: Sullivan's wind is Another bag was fixednpandin a few minutes this met tho same fate and also collapsed. Corhett then invited tho friends into tho hand ball court and for half an hour wrestled with MeVay, the heavyweight. At tho conclusion of this exercise McVuy was thoroughly wet with perspiration, while Corhett was as cool as a encumber. He turned to tho crowd, bade them a hearty adieu and thanked them all for their many kind words and good wishes. "1 assure you." were his final words, "that Sullivan will never lick me." SCLUVAX AT WORK.

How He Kxcrciod Oil E5is Traill Wliile the Road. Attalla September 3 It turned out that the round about trip of Sullivan and his friends, who were with hiin at ltichburg during the Kilrain tight, was entirely unnecessary, as thero was no inquiry on the part of any official at Chattanooga A large crowd of curious people had gathered to see and were very indignant when they learned that he had avoided the town by taking another route. Sullivan is feeling very well to day. He ate a tremendous broakfat of beefsteak, eggs and toast and tea. and is more talkative than at any time since he left Brooklyn.

John has been talking about licking Corhett in three or four rounds with his customary confidence. He was checked a little once when ho made a remark of that kind by Johnny Keating of Jersey City, tho ex featherweight champion of America. Keating is one of John stauneiiest friends aud has bet several hundred dollars on him. His judgment is held by Sullivan as highly as the champion can hold any other than his own, and, when Keating advised John to remember that he was going up against tho best man he ever met. to use prudeuce and not be bullheadod Sullivan thougut for a minute and replied: "All' right, old man, I won't be Thorough cordiality has existed among the passengers on the train all the way through.

The party has been in good humor since it left New York. The men on the train say that they never had a nicer trip, and many of them aro old travelers. Sullivan's cheerfulness has been shown especially in the way ho took to work to day. Ho prepared tho programme himself and jumped in the gymnasium like cai like year old colt. Then ha skipped the rope over three hundred times, hit tho tossed tho heavy ball and twirled light dumb bells for nearly three hours.

After tho exercise was over Jack Ashton. Morton ami Liney Tracy gave him a stiff rubbing down and he plainly enjoyed it. Ho probably lost three or four pounds at the work, but he gained more than that yesterday.
