The committee of the director of '-the United States Card Company called on, the Board of Works yesterday and had an 'Informal talk lr regard to the Improvements the company desires to have made In case the Cincinnati plant Is consolidated wih this one. It has been decided that the Cincinnati plant will be removed on account of the great amount of smoke in Cincinnati, which ruins- a great deal of the company's stock of materiaj. The board told the directors that it would arrange for the Improvement of the streets In' the neighborhood of the card company's plant, and would build one bridge this year, either at datlLng street or at Beecher, whichever one was thought by the company to be the most needed, but that it could not un dertake to build both this year. This seemed satisfactory to the .company, but no expression of the feeling of the committee was given. f ' , ' A petition signed by thirty-two Interested property owners, of which the card companyis one, was ' fljed with the Board of Works, asking that a bridge be built across Pleasant run at Gatllng street, and that brick sidewalks be laid on Gatling street from Raymond etre?t. ! ...-' This petition was-referred to the city engineer, no action being taken on it. No action will be taken until It is learned what the card company will do, and whether this is the mo?t desirable of the two contemplated bridges to be built this year. OXR SQUARE OF ASPHALT.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Republicans Have a Safe Mnjorlty Over All the Democratic, Silver and Doubtfal States Combined. ' The threatened bolt of the silver States from both parties In case they do not adopt free silver platforms has caused some inquiry among politicians as to how much if any influence this bolt might have upon the result of the next election. This was the subject of conversation at the "Satesmen's Club" at its regular meeting in the State Auditor's office yesterday and a table was made out showing how this electoral vote is likely to be distributed. The table Is as follows: . Y- DoubtStates. Rep. Dem. Silver, ful. Alabama 11 .. .. Arkansas 8 " .. California 9 .. .. .. Colorado .. 4 Connecticut 8 .. .. ;.. Delaware .. ... 3 Florida .' 4 '.. : ;..

The silver propaganda might be able to make considerable headway among the Democratic States. The silver sentiment is strong all through the south ana south west, but could not possibly affect more than seven of the States named in the Republican columns. There is no danger of an independent sliver .ticket carrying any State rorth or the onio or east or tne Mississippi, and west of the Mississippi there Is no more possibility of its carrying Iowa or Minnesota than there is in Indiana or Ohio. The only Republican States that such a ticket would stand any chance whatever In are: California. 9. votes: Kansas. 10; North Dakota 3: Oregon, 4; South Dakota. 4; Nebraska, 8; Washington. 4; total, 42. Thus the Repub licans would still be left with seven votes mere than a majority over all the Demo cratic and silver States combined, even if the Democrats hou.d carry every State set down in the doubtful column.

The Judges of the Appellate division to-day handed down decisions in three cases .' brought to test the Percy-Gray racing law. One case was that of the. people ex reL, Joseph Sturgis against John .Fallon, former warden of the Tombs prison, and the other two cases were the people against Samuel D. Lawrence,, president of the-Morris Park Jockey Club. The order of Justice . Ingraham. upholding the constitutionality of the law, was affirmed by the court. Lawrence was arrested on three charges, namely: Violations of Sections 323, 251 and 352 of the penal code, the first referring to contriving;' or assisting In conducting a lottery. . On this . point the court says that clearly tho contention cannot be maintained that ractng horses for a stake is a lottery and on the facts' of the case the defendant cannot be said to have been guilty of any of the acts which are forbidden by; those sections of the penal code prohibiting lotteries. The court says that the GrayPercy law, together -with tho amendment to Section 351 of the. penal code, passed in 1891, constitute a consistent scheme for the prevention of the acts "specified In the Constitution. The evil aimed at in the Constitution were lotteries, pool-selling and bookmaking, which had been conducted so generally and under such circumstances as to become a great public evil. August Belmont, president of a Jockey club and chairman f the State Racing Commission, said to-day, that the decision was a great victory for honest, legitimate racing. Under the opinion the racing this season would be on an absolutely legal basi3. That was the thing most needed, for the men who were in control of the- tracks In this city were law-abiding people and believed they had last year acted within both the Constitution and the law. The decision of the Appellate division to-day had clearly sustained this view. James R. Keene said that he was delighted with the decision; it settled the status of racing for .some time to come, as the law was not likely to be repealed unless it was. abused, which was not at all likely under the present racing management. Cblcltasnw Clnb Handicap Not Ran. MEMPHIS, Temu, April 17. This was the eighth day of the Memphis spring races, and the weather was delightful. The track was in fine condition. .

He was off in front and led to the stretch, when he suddenly quit, falling backto fifth or sixth place until within fifty yards of the wire, when he came like a bullet and was beaten a head for the place. Martin's ride on Agent was none too good, to say ' the least. The betting was brisk on all five events, and twenty bookmakers were kept busy. To-morrow the Peabody handicap at a mile and a sixteenth, will be decided. The winners to-day were, in order; Bishop Zed, Rondo, Marcel, Jane -and Miss Clark. - - " t ' Favorites Won nt Newport, ' CINCINNATI, O.i April 17.

My understanding is that he pledged hixxuelf to YCte against any measure looking to the repeal of the law before he was nominated. The liauor men put up. a man. against him and were beaten.

tration of small doses of the poisonoue alkaloids found in coffee.

C9rrttpen4vtt North America ' Tor some time past I have been consulting with different persons who are suffering with railing- sight, and In each Instance I ascertained that the unfortunate person was and Is a regular coffee-drinker. I bad long noticed that the eyes of old coff ee-dxlnkers had a dry and shriveled appearance. Having discovered some years ago that my eyesight was surely weakening, 1 then ceased to drink coffee as freely as I had used It, and became a moderate and more observant patron of the fragrant narcotic But I have learned that moderate coffee-drinking is a hard thins; to manage, being pretty sure to develop into the regular habit again with Insidious ease, especially at those tiroes when the physical system feels itself to be In need of tome elixir. Besides It is Quite distressing for a person to be fighting off a powerful habit at each mealtime. I now feel free of the coffee-drinking vice, and will have no more trouble with It unless I shall again fall a victim , to eome church supper or to the magnetic blandishments of eome buoyant hostess. ' . , Ravin? Ions worked at a trade which requires almost as exact a use of the eye as the occupation of a Jeweler, I made the discovery that a single cup of coffee would have a perceptible 'effect ontay eyes. This fact was the tnore apparent because my eyesight was oilgtnally very good in fact, about the best. After usin coffee many years my sight became abnormally weak, and I began to feel a horror of darkness, wishing that the tun would never set, and desiring Instinctively to go to some place where the nights would be short during the entire year. But now I have Quite little of this feeling left. My eyes have regained, to a. curious extent, their former range and spontaneity. I again enjoy the long panoramic views of nature. I can take long telescope sweeps of vision again without blinking or feeling the weakening relaxation which alarmed me a year ago. . I-have no doubt but what this weakness of the eyes which results from coffeedrtnklng is due to the sympathy which the optic nerve has for the nasal cavity the latter being continuous with the membrane of the mouth. The nasal cavity, with its first pair of brain nerves, is naturally a principal place to be affected by any drinking habit. For Instance, to partake of a dish of soup will sometimes cause a person's breathing to come thick and decidedly labored. All of the sensory nerves are much affected by eoffee-drlnklng those gentle and highly refined threads of sympathetic force whioh enter largely Into -the sense of smell, taste, sight, and hearing. The entire sympathetic system is likewise Involved Immediately, In the coffee-drinking habit - Coffee-drinking Is especially Injurious when It Is resorted to as a backing for strong food. There are plenty of robust persons iraong us who have drunk coffee pretty freely for a lifetime, but who are seemingly uninjured by It. To this fact I reply that appearances are sometimes deceiving to unpractlced eyes, and that a vice does not In all cases how Its effects plainly In the first generation. ,-The free use of coffee dates back only one generation In this country. But this I will say, that no person la as stout for three hours after he has drunk coffee as he was before. CAUGHT IN LONDON ARREST OP THE SERVANTS WHO ROBBED TUB Bl'RDBX RCS1DCXCE. Jewelry Valued at f73,V)00 Fnnd tn Possession of the Prisoners To Be Brought Buck to New York.

LONDON,- April 17. An important arrest was made on Bond street yesterday. ..William Dunlap, described fas a valet, and William Turner, said to be a footman, were taken into custody by the police. They stated that they left the employ of a gentleman in New York recently. In Dunlap's pocket the police found diamonds valued at XH,O0d, believed to have been stolen; and a searc of the room occupied by the couple revealec them to bo In the possession of bracelets', tiaras, rings, scarf pins set with diamonds and emeralds and other Jewelry estimated to be worth 575,000. ' There is no doubt that these are the men who robbed the house of 'I.' Townsend Burden, of New York, In December last, of Jewelry-to the value of about $60,000." The officials of the United States embassy have cabled Secretary Olney.to this effect and have asked for extradition papers. Police Inspector Froest, who made the arrest sail to-day: "I merely arrested the men on suspicion. They looked overdressed, and when their room was searched 1 recognized the Jewels, particularly a large emerald, from a description we had of them. Further, 1 learned that the men had offered Jewelry for sale to Sreeter, the Bond-street Jeweler, who, although not knowing anything" about the Burden robbery, was suspicious ani Informed the poJlce. There is keen interest between Inspector Froest and Mr. Streeter, as to who will get the reward aaJd to have been offered by Mr. Burden lor the recovery of the Jewels. Streeter. the Jeweler, called at the United States embassy during the day In reference to the Jewels. He said the prisoners callej on him last Wednesday and he Immediately saw that many of the stones they wanted to sell had been torn from their settings, while others were black wrth dirt. He told the men he would have them cleaned and make an. offer on Thursday. Turner and Dunlap left the Jewels with Streeter ani the latter communicated with the police. Consequently, when the prisoners called - at Streeier's store yesterday the detectives were outside waiting- for tnem. Streeter handed them back the Jewels, the men left the score, the Jeweler having Informed them that he did not wish to buy the stones, and on reaching the street they were arrested. . ' i ' Borden Will Go to Louden. NEW YORK, April 17. The men. Turner and Dunlap, arrested In London, were formerly servants In the employ of Mr. I. Townsend Burden, of this city, who," on the night of Dec. 27 was robbed of Jewelry valued at about $C0,W, the chief piece being a diamond necklace worth about' 120,000. Mr. Burden admitted to-day that he had received information from London that the men who had robbed his safe had been arrested. In view of this news, he said, the departure of his family for Europe, which had been planneJ for some time, would take place tomorrow. , ' . ' Chnrfred with Jlome Stealing;. Elijah .
