MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.

COLES EATING SALOON. - Some twenty
five or thirty years ago Mr.. Lorenzo d. Cole
opened a confectionery establishment in Ex-
change street, in the store now occupied by
j. j. Brown, Esq. as brokers office, when
he attempted to conduct upon strictly tenn
perance principles. But Mr., Cole was then
little ahead of public opinion and his estab-
lishment was not sustained. Subsequently
he, with sake" Rolf took the store IN Union
ST., where they did large business for sew
eral years, retailing immense quantities OF
liquor.
In 1913 Mr.. Cole resolved to abandon the
liquor business entirely. He took the shop
he now occupies, No. AZ Exchange ST., and
opened confectionery establishment. Danish
ing liquors from his shop. Afterwards he
added an eating establishment to it, and Tor
twenty years he has been going on in quiet
way, furnishing good and substantial meals to
his customers, besides the best Of CONNECTION
airy, pastry and fruit. Not drop Of liquor,
not even ale has been furnished or kept in
his establishment.
His business in the eating line has so IN
creased that he has been obliged to enlarge
his premises by the addition of a wing in the
rear Of his shop, which is connected with the
main shop by an arch, and renders his accom-
modations quite spacious. His old customers
stick to him, and new ones come in every day,
who find themselves well treated and at
moderate price.

Military Commission at Norfolk.
FORTRESS MONROE, Jan. 3.
Steamer Western Metropolis, from Newport
for New Orleans, put into Hampton Roads for
repairs.
Maj. Gen. Butler has issued an order dis
honorably dlscharging from the service Lieut.
Col. Martin and ID Lieut.. Day, both of the
LIST U. 5. colored troops, for intoxication and
conduct unbecoming officers of the United
States, subject to the approval of the Presi-
dent.
Norfolk, Jan. 1.-The Military Commits
sion, OF which Gen. Wstar is President, has
been in session during the past week. The
case OF j. NJ. Hunt, late Superintendent of
vessels at Fortress Monroe, is under trial
and exceedingly interesting. Among the
points ELECTED is the payment OF $1,000 in
fees to Senator Hale, by Hunt, to obtain his
release from the old Capital prison.
To-day Capt Coan, of the steamer Jno A.
Warner, testified that the boat was worth $685.
0OJ when she first went into Government
service; that at the rates OF her charter, she
had earned sl73,500 up to date; that the
Government had supplied her with coal; that
her average running expenses were from ST.
COG to 81 200 per month, which were defrayed
by goods sold on board and by the profits on
meals and berihs, and that she belonged TO
the Delaware River Steamboat Co, of which
John Price Witherell, of Philadelphia, was
President, and Andrew Henderson, VIM Al
len, Willet Paxton and Samuel Harlan, Jr,
are Directors.
Capt Cone swore that her first charter was
made with John Tucker, late LIST Assistant
Secretary of War, and the second with Quar-
termaster General Meigs. The prosecution
has oyerhauled other fat jobs in the steamboat
line. As the evidence stands thus far il APP
pears as if there had been ring of contrac-
tors interlocking with the one at Baltimore
with which Belger was connected.
Steamer West End, an old boat, was offered
in New York at $685. 900, but was chartered to
the government from March, 1862, to October,
1863, at $4,000 per annum.

Examinations of the Chesapeake Pirates.

EXPERIMENTATION Of Uie tHesopodhe Psrdtes.
ST. JOHN, y. b., Jan. 4.
The examination of Collins, Mckenzie and
Seeley, charged with being concerned in the
Chesapeake affair, was commenced before the
Police magistrate this morning. At the out
set the counsel for the prisoners took excep-
tion to the form of the warrant, and also con-
tended that the case did not come within the
extradition treaty, the offence having been
committed on the high seas and not within
American jurisdiction. The magistrate re-
served his decision on these points Capt.
Willetts' evidence was then taken. He mod
flied his first statement as to the number of
shots fired at him, aud said there were two or
three. Otherwise his evidence is substan-
tally the same as his published statement.
The case is adjourned until Wednesday The
court room was crowded with spectators, and
there is but little excitement.

Items.
NEW YORK, JAN 4.
Mayor Gunlher assumed the duties of his
Office to-day. 1t appears by his message.
which is quite lengthy, that the city debt is
s20000,000, arising from the fact, as stated in
his address, that the system of local govern
ment is lacking in that simplicity so necessary
to economy and efficiency. The subdivision
of functions aud want of responsibility has
led to extravaganza and multiplication of
offices.
On the retiring of EX-Mayor Opdyke at
noon to-day, he was escorted by a committee
OF prominent citizens with band of music
to nelghboring hotel, where an address was
delivered and festivities INDUCED in.
1t is stated that the Stonington line OF
steamers have been purchased by merchants
OF this city and Boston.
The total number OF foreign arrivals at this
port during last year, as reported by Capt.
Hall, OF the ship news agency of the Associ-
ated Press, is 4T56, and the total number of
steamers from domestic ports is 2236.

rE- 1t will be recollected that after the
capture of Schooner Archer from the Tacony
pirates last summer, Mr.. Daniel Gould was
accidentally killed while engaged in discharg
ing the cargo of the vessel An effort is now
being made to get a pension for his mother,
and petitions to that effect are in circulation.
We hope they will be signed by all of our cit
liens. One is left at the Merchants Exchange
for signatures.
