WANT IMPEOVEMEST DEFERRED.

Delaware Street and ilassachu'etu ATenno rropertj-HolJers Uefore Comnittees. The Council committee on streets and alleys last night met perhaps a score of property-owners living on North Delaware street, who are remonstrating against the proposed asphalt improvement of the street J. T. Lecklider was the principal speaker. He objects on the ground that the improvement is inopportune, both from the recent improvement of the street and from the inadequate experience with and knowledge of asphalt. He advocated delay of a year in order that properj-holders might better bar the expense and learn more about the material of the proposed improvement He asserted that in that time they woald begin to know more of the real value and proper cost of asphalt paving. He does not think the city olticials have reduced such improvements as yet to an economical basis. Ho also arraigned them for not specifying how much propertyowners should bo credited for the bowlders, which had cost them from 50 cents to L2 perfront foot instead of leaving it indefinite with the bidders. Ia this connection he quoted the city attorney as saying that there is no law for the bidders confiscating the bowlders. Frederick liaggs. representing Roberts Park Church, indorsed the objections of Mr. Lecklider, and favored deferring the the improvement for a year, as the church had just been culled upon to liquidate an indebtedness of 5,000. Voluey T. Malott representing 400 front feet, also indorsed the objections. Albert Yohn favored deferring the improvement a year. He said some of the property-owners want a brick pavement. Statements of like character -were made by A. W. Condnitt and E. C. Atkins, bnt Dr. J. M. Gosnell said he would join with the rest in improving the street when they determined what they want Chairman Itaasmau then announced the meeting adjourned, saying that a majority of the committee would report for the remonstrators. Mr. Martindale will make a minority report favoring the improvement After the meeting some of his constituents pressed him pretty close, giving him an opportunity to make a happy little speech, in which he defended his course with good eilect. Xhe committee on contracts held a meeting in the clerk's oilice at the same time. Dr. Van Vorhis and Mr. H. C. Long appeared to represent the Massacbusetts-bve-nue remonstrators. Mr. Shearer spoke for the successful bidders on the improvement and City Attorney Taylor informed the gentlemen present that street improvements could not beundertaken with a view of leaving the sn.ico between street-car tracks unimproved. Itwasthereforedecided to hold the bid in abeyance till the decision of the Supreme Court relative to the street-railroad company's liability to pay part of the expense. It was also decided to take action on the bid only after conference with the property -owners. It was said that a decision from the Supreme Court is expected shortly after its term begins in September. Primrose & West's Minstrels.

Allen. Dr. Hartley Smith, Wm. J. Shinn and J. C. Williams. The track of the new road is well laid, the latest cars havo been put on, and the line promises to make a big bid for the pleaa-ure-8eeking traffic, as it Hires a long ride over a pretty route and an excellent view of the thriving suburb. The cars were all crowded 3'esterday afternoon and last evening. At present they run only between the transfer car and McLain street, hut it is the intention to connect with tho Englishavenuo line. Started Too Soon. Jacob Pierson and a woman named Lulu Greene were arrested by patrolmen Reed and Shaffer, last night for drunkenness and fast driving. The woman had excited attention by boisterous conduct on Pennsylvania and Washington streets, and the patrolmen brought the buggy to a halt Pierson stated that the woman was his wife, and that, if not arrested, he would take her home immediately. As he himself seemed but little intoxicated, they were released, bnt no sooner was Pierson out of the reach of the officers than he laid whip to the horse and started on a run west He attempted to turn south on Meridian street, but the buggv npset, throwing the occupants out and wrecking one wheel. The arrest waa then made. The girl was too much under the influence of liquor to be injured by the fall, though she struck upon the curbing. Dampened Their Ardor. Harry Smith, an incorrigible Indianapolis boy, was arretted in Chicago, yesterday, in company with one Walter Hayes, of that city, for carrying a Bowie knife. When found, they were on the lake front sorting out a lot of keys.

Governor Miller, of North Dakota, has issued a letter to the people of that State which throws some sensational side liohta upon the efforts still being made by the lot tery agents 10 secure a iootnold under the legal protection of the commonwealth. There is direct evidence that the lottery agents are secretly planning to obtain sneh control of political affairs in Dakota as will enable them to secure a charter for legalizing a lottery. The recent experience of Louisiana proves how deadening to all sense of honor is the powerful influence, political and necuniarv. wiehlrri in th int. tery people. In the case of a voung and struggling State like North Dakota, there is a peculiar invitation to the exercise of these same corrupting influences, and the indications are that Governor MilleWn warning to his constituents is well timed and necessary. It is notorious that the various lottery companies, including the syndicate which apparently has tho people of Louisiana in its power, are working in harmony to circumvent the laws and rob the people. Kvery friend of honest government will desire to see the people of North Dakota resist the intamous bribes which will nrobably be again ottered for the introduction of a legalized lottery in that State. It is especially a matter of solicitude that the political anairs ox the young commonwealth should be purged from tho subtle influ ences which the lottery promoters are BKiiiou iu using. There are indications that the federal au thorities at Washington are preparing to strike an effective blow at all lnttrv com panies through the rigid enforcement of the posfM laws. In sach a course tho authorities will have the active sympathy of tho American public, which has been outraged too long by the bold robberies and demoralizing munenccs of the lotteries.

CLEVER DETECTIVE WORK.

Arrest of Two German Forcers at New York by a Cnitcd StAtes deputy Marshal. New York, July 19. United States Depnty Marshal Frederick Bernhard made a clever arrest, Friday night, of a band of forgers who ran away from Germany after getting more than 000,000 marks on forged bills of lading. The forgers are Simon and Julius Kroganker. of Bromberg, and they have been getting money in this way in various sums since 1867. Marshal Bernhard has been on the "watch for these men ever since ho received word that they were on their way to New York. The description of the men, as given to him. was the poorest, he says, that he ever had to work a case up on. Both of the men are over six feet high, but the official description of them put their height at 5 feet and 8 inches, ana 5 feet and G inches, respectively. When the steamship Trave arrived in her pier On Friday the marshal was on hand and carefully examined each passenger to see if there were any there to correspond with the expected criminals. lie found none, aud had hardly gotten through with his work there, when the Augnsta Victoria, of the Hamburg American line, eame into port. He went over her passenger lists to see if by any chance he could detect the men. There was nothing . there to give him the least clew, and he mingled with the passengers who were waiting to have their baggage examined by the custom-house officials. He watched to see if any two men seemed to keep together, bnt he saw nothing to arouse his suspicions 'While ho was standing at the gang-plank scrutinizing the passengers as they left the steamer, he accidently overheard one man address another in a manner peculiar to Germans when they speak to near relatives. He immediately engaged them in conversation, and saw by their accent that they must have come from one of the Prussian provinces. While talking with them, as their baggage was being examined, he managed to see a handkerchief and a pair of stockings on which were marked in red the initials "J. K." The men both said that the articles had been given to them by friends, but the marshal raised the waist-coat of one of the men and found tha tell-tale initials on the top of tho shirt Both men were then arrested, and from memoranda and books found upon them the marshal knew that they were tho forgers whom he waa after. The3' had only 15,000 mars left. Mr. Bernhard took them before Judge Lyman and they were remanded until Monday for a hearing. They traveled under the assumed names of S. and J. Davidson. TICKET-SCALPER MULFORD. Ills Fight with the Brokers Association Assumes a New Phase The Title lie Wanted. Chicago, July 19. An attachment returnable forthwith was issued by Judge McConnell, this morning, against A. F. Walker, chairman of the Illinois State Commerce Kailway Association. The writ waa sued out by . A. Mulford, in his suit against George WFrey and the American Ticketbrokers' Association. Mr. Mulford is a well-known ticket-scalper, who not long ago gave up business on that line on Clark street, saying that since the interstatecommerce law went into effect there was no money in it. It is claimed that he retired from business to take a position under the Interstate-Commerce Railway Association, where his intimate knowledge of scalping and scalpers was to be utilized by that organization, in the interest of the railroad, in stamping out the trade of scalp ing. It is said that it was agreed between Mulford and Chairman Walker that the former should have a salary of $12,000 per year, but that they split on the title that Mulford was to have. He wanted the dignified name of "Chairman of the Western Passenger Association." but Mr. Walker wanted him to be head of the secret detective bureau. Mulford drooned the man and went back to acalning. but while he was out the American Ticket-brokers' Association dropped him from membership. Mulford began mandamus proceedings In Louisville to be re instated, and also began several damage suits, besides hung a bill for injunction in the law and equity court . of Jenerson county, Kentucky. The association has made a motion to dissolve the injunction there scranted. and the court issued a dedimus to Thomas) . D. Bradley, a notary of this citv. to take depositions. Chair man Walker was subpoenaed to tell what he knew of Mnltord s abandonment of his business, but he refused to appear. Hence this attachment. Gebhardt's Charges Again a Breyfogle. - Louisville, Ky., July 19. J. T. Gebhardt to-day made a written statement re garding the attempt of Dr. W. L. Breyfogle, president of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, to secure the presidency of the Kentucky & Indiana Bridge Company, and to make half a million dollars by tho formation of a pool to manipulate the se curities of the bridge company. He says Breyfogle made the proposal to lorm sucn a pool upon ueuhardt's going, as a bridge director, to Breyfogloand seeking to stop litigation airainstthe bridge. He carried tho pro posals to tho other directors. Brevfocle's plan was ior Ten oi in airectors to ouy up the securities, lotting Breyfogle in for a share, then to get the Pennsylvania Comrtanv to guarantee interest and sell the stock at a profit. Breyfogle stipulated for not loss than i:i,00U as his share. Uebbardt produces the contract originally prepared by Breyiogie. Leslie P. Farmer for Commissioner. New York, July 19. The passenger commissionership was unanimously offered to Leslie 1. Farmer, the Western passenser agent of tho Erie railroad, at a meeting of the trunk-line passenger agents held on Thursday last. Mr. Farmer was formerly tho ceneral passenger agent of tho Pennsyl vania road. Mr. Farmer has not as yet accepted, but will do so if he can receive assurances of uitlerent conlucting interests represented in the committee and in other ways satisiy nimseu mat ne would dojustico to tho position with credit to himself. His decision is expected next week. The rennsylranla's New Sleeplnr-Car Service. PiTTsnuKO, July 19.

Pendleton informed her that all his intimate friends knew of the divorre and that be intended to marry her. When informed by tho reporter that the alleged divorce was a forgery, the expression of her face and her actions generally showed that she had never before mistrusted the legality of the divorce. JShe said she could not tell what steps she would take it was all too sudden. Pendleton had nover said anything to her about the divorce. Mrs. Pendleton No. 1 to-day filed suit for divorce.

Of all the monuments of this century, the stupendous bridge across tho i-ortu, in Scotland, is the grandest and most surpris . m ... . . T ' ing construction,. ThoHrth of Forth is a wide estuary, so .deeply indenting the east ern coast of Scotland as to necessitate an expensive and tedious transshipment of commerce across the gulf, or a long detonr around it. r or: twenty-five years efforts have been made to obtain a permanent way over the estuary, hut the difficulties to be encountered were so great that it is only within the last half of tha past decade that engineering genius and mechanical skill have been sufficiently developed to render this greatest of metal structures a possibility. A few miles west of Edinburgh the firth. or sulf. suddenly contracts, leading in ancieui times io me esiauiisumcut oi a 5 il A -I L 1' 1 A. ferry between Fife on the north and the town of lueensierry on toe south, lho estuary here is a littlo less than a mile and a hnlf wide, and very opportunely a small rocky islet exists almost in the center, which, formerly tho home of a horde of pirates, now becomes the central pier of the ureal uriuee. . Curiously, also, that part of the gulf ly ing between Queensferry and Fife contains tho only rock to be found for miles above the mouth, thus marking the one appro priate plaoo where adequate foundations for so mammoth a structure can bo obtained. Between the little island and either shore extends a space of nearly half a mile, where no foundation was feasible. and which, therefore, must bo crossed with out a single pier, thus outspanning by several hundred feet all existing bridges. Serious gales sweeping through the es tuary exert on the surface of so exposed a structure an enormous force, and to avoid a parallel catastrophe to that ingulfing the ful engineering has been exercised. As tho bridge runs nearly north and south, in the morning tho east side, and in tho afternoon the west 6ide is exposed directly to the rays of the sun, while tho corresponding opposite sides are in tho cool shadow. As a result, temperature stresses are intro duced, causing tho whole mass to wriggle and twist to a considerable degree. In so large a metal mass eil'ects of tetnperaturo must be carefully provided for. lest its in sidious operation shall lead to destruction. Commencing at Queensferry on tho south the approaches to the bridge, consisting of ten short girders, of-1(58 feet span, extend over the low shores to the first cantilever. From the main abutment tho entiro firth is crossed bv three immense trusses, forming two central spans, each 1,710 feet in the clear, with two side spans oi v.nj ioet. The trusses are balanced upon their foundation. and the weicht of a nnssini; train transmitted through them is resisted as an upward pull by the anchorages on either side of the gulf. I lie cantilever bridge possesses a very marked advantage in the ease with which it may be erected, for this very property of balancing on its founda tions enables tho engineer to build out over the water simultaneously m both directions, using the truss-work of the bridge as the scattold on which to erect additional pieces as fast as it is completed. By this means the expense of underneath supports, which would have been enormous in the case now under consideration, where the depth of water in the gulf is over two hun dred feet, is entirely avoided. Tho railway track crosses the bridge at the height of about 1"0 feet above the water, giving ample head-room for vessels of all descriptions beneath the rails, while above the track the huge trusses tower upward more than two hundred additional feet. To withstand the violent gales ot the Forth, the bridge has been proportioned to resist a wind-pressure of about eiglr, tuoii sand tons, and in the structure itself nearly sixty thousand tons of steel have been em ployed. At any one time the weight of - ., 5 . .. A trams ou me onuge wuum not exceeu iwo thousand tons, so that, curiously enough. the weight of tho structure itself is thirty times that of the load which it is intended to carry, while the wind-pressures are at least four times as great. Fortunate Circumstance. Philadelphia Inauirer. How fortunate, considering tho conrse of tho debates in Conress. is the provision that popular elections must be held on a day certain. It will bo remembered that Mr. Cleveland ascribed his defeat in No vember. Ie8i to the alleged fact that time enough could not bo had to educate the peo ple up to an appreciation of tho Mills tariff bill, which formed the issue in that con test. If Cleveland, Carlisle aud their school of politicians could have had their way that election would rot havo been held j-et.

MOONSHIMNG IN .NEW KNALANP.

Illicit D!tlllinc by the Thrifty Farmer In Prohibition Itegions Some Fine Decoctions. Boston Transcript. Them i rprtainlv a creat deal of illicit liquor manufactured in the New England States where prohibition is the law. Generally the illicit manufacturer would be glad to pay the United States license. He could pay that aud make money out of his business, with tho aid oi ino uemanu secured by prohibition. Besides, he fears the United States revenue authorities, and he does not fear the State authorities. Uncle Sam ha a nose to smell out his still: tho State has not. But tho payment of the federal license has so often betrayed the moonshiner to the State authorities that he generally prefers to do without it. He makes his business wholly illicit, therefore. The Jrolits are great, but the business is risky, f the distiller is caught in the act, or a customer betrays him. everything that he has in the world mav be forfeited. The place selected for a still, in our northern hills, is generally a cellar, and the distiller is almost always a farmer. In this region there is always running water to be had anywhere; the larmer conaucxs a quiei lead pipe to his scene of operations, brings in a still from the adjoining State, sets up a kitchen stove, connects his apparatus with his chimney, and everything is reaay. Probably his line of business is cider brandy; possibly it is maple rum. Both liquors are very meritorious decoctions, alcoholically speaking. The apple brandy is raw-edged, and not very palatable, but it is pure and wholesome. The maple rum is very smooth and palatable, aud when made by an expert is regarded by connoisseurs as equal to the best Medford. To make it. maple molasses is diluted and fermented into a sort of beer, and that is distilled into rum. Four quarts of maple molasses will make five quarts of excellent rum. Generally this illicit distilling is done on bohalf of regular customers, at so much a gallon; the ordinary price for distilling is $1.25 a gallon, and the liquor is sold at ?2 a trillion. Sometimes the manufacture is car ried on under the cloak of the distillation of wormwood a product of the northern woods, which the law allows the manufacture of. Some wormwood distillers up that way have got rich, but not out of wormwood. In many places the local authorities would never disturb a quiet distiller of illegal, liquor, but the law puts a terrible premium upon treachery. One maple-rum manufacturer supplied his father-in-law's table with a dainty product of his still for some time; but by-and-by tho father-in-law informed upon him. wholly for the sake of the 825 reward which the law gives the informer! The old man had the satisfaction of seeing his daughters husbands fine farm taken away lrom him tor up tnat way a distiller's farm is holden for his offense and the man left at middle ago penniless in the world; but the old villain got his 85. There are-some things in the world that aro worso than making maple rum and Maine law, it seems, puts a premium upon such villains. All this, of course, is carried on in the farm ing districts. The larger towns and villages havo laws of their own, and tho liquorthey dispense is obtained more or less openly from outsido the States where it is sold. It is the farmers, who havo not easy access to these bars, who resort to the illicit manufacture of liquor. And as a result,. hundreds of men become more or less expert in making intoxicating drink who would oth erwise have not the slightest inkling of such a process; and though the majority of these would not think of makincc liquor for profit, they do not hesitate to make it for their own use. Ihere is even a very good substitute for laeer-beer brewed in the hills: and many of the farmers brew a drink which they call spruce beer from maple sap a yery pleasant beverage, not without heady properties under certain circumstances. It is unite possible that the throw ing of tho people of northern New England upon their own resources in the matter of liquids will develop an aptitude for domestic manufacture which will result in famous beverages yet to be born. STORMS AND CLOUD-BURSTS. Their Coming; Can Be Predicted, but Their Course Is Difficult to Fix. ' Dr. Frlii L. Otwald, In Frank Leslie's Popular mommy ior aurxuu Neither dikes nor reservoirs could movent the ravages of sudden Hoods, and no naval architect has thus far devised a plan for tho construction of a completely storm-proof snip, but experience Has at least taught us to avoid perils which we cannot resist. The meteorological observatories of sixteen different nations have been very busy in the course or tne last iiltv years, nnd if tho direction of a storm could be predicted as successfully as its imminence, disastrous Hoods and hurricanes would rarely come unexpected. A gale originating in the plains of western Kansas, and keeping a straight eastward course as far as St. Louis, Mo., may suddenly turn southwest on strik ing the valley of the Mississippi, and thus save umo and rennsyivania from the pre dicted visitation. Kam-clouds that havo discharged their torrents all along the gulf coast lrom lampico to rsew Orleans and drenched the plains of Alabama, may refuse their showers to the tablo-lands of north ern Georgia aud dissolve away into Heecy specks of vapor where their moisture was. perhaps, most sorely needed in a more condensed form. Tho most approved in dications or rain may prove delusive in midsummer; still, tho observations of many years nave iaciutated tho art of weatherprediction by quite a number of tolerably reliable general rules. Thus storms have been found to have a tendency to blow from regions of high to regions of low baro metrical pressure, and to he preceded by a rise and followed by a depression of temperature. North of the equator the curves ot cyclones turn from rieht to left: on tho southeru hempisphere from left to right, aud often seem to spend their mry in the ioot-nins ot a high mountain range, but manage to resume their work of devastation on theplains beyond. Counter currents havo a tendency to delay rather than neutralize far-traveled gales.'and only a lew mouths ago Xour steamers and a multitude of sailing vessels were saved bv the ofiicial meterologist of Singapore, who I A I- ; J. i 1 a -t r Kept uis Biorui signals noisiou. in spue oi all temporary appearances of clearing skies, till on the third day the retarded storm burst with a fury Borelv rued bv all vessels that had disregarded the predic tion. , Legend of tho Death of Solomon JCotrs for Hie Curious. There is a legend concerning the death of Solomon, alluded to in the Koran and found in the Chronicle of Tabari, which is to the following effect: Solomon employed the genu in ouiiuingine lempie. out perceiving that his end was nich at hand, prayed God mat uis ucaiu migiii te conceaieii lrom the genii until the work was completed, for Solomon knew that if he died, and the genii knew of his death, they would leave off building, lterefore he made himself a stall from a tree in his garden, and, leaning upon ims siaii, wnn nis nead bowed iu adoration, ho died in the temple. His soul was taken so gently from him that the body remained standing, so remaining for one whole year: those who saw him thought he was absorbed in prayer, and they 'dared not approach him. Still the genii worked night and day . i i . ... until me lempie was compieica, thinking that they were watched in every detail by the master, wnose eyes had many weeks before closed in death. Hut during all this time little white ants had been guawing at tho staff, and when the temple was at last finished, a long year after tho death of Solomon, the staff crumbled under his weight and the body fell to the ground. Mahomet alludes to this curious legend in the following (see Koran, Sura, xxxiv): "When He God had decreed that Solomon should die, nothing discovered death unto them Ithe uenii) except the creeping thing of the earth, which guawed the stall, and when his body fell down tho genii nlainly perceived that if they had known that which is secret they would" not havo continued in a vile punishment." Canes In Karly Day. Dry Gools Chronicle. Canes were first heard of in England in the reign of Henry VIII. and were probably introduced into Europe after the discovery of America. 'A cane garnished with golde, havinge a perfume in the toppe, under that a man, wiiii pair ui in iicuers ana a pair of compasses of golde. and a foot rnle of golde, a knife and a tile, the haft of golde, with a whetBtono tipped with golde," is entered in a MSS! inveutory of tho Koyal Palaco of Greenwich, England, in the tune of Henry VIII.

A Daughter's Health. Restored Mor ' Alniost a.

Lifetime of Mv daughter has been takinc ComDanv's remedies for about one

catarrhal sore throat, but the Doctor's pronounced it quinsy. Her throat was constantly so 6ore that she could hardly breath; she could not swallow

without its causing great suffering, and, so much so, that it would bring on action, which threw her into spasms, and they'wero ol such nature as to alarm us. After taking the remedies six hours, we could see a change

for the better. Her appetite returned and increased each meal, and in

two days she could swallow without any difficulty, and could eat right

smart. She has been feeling well
