MIR. STEWARDS HEMPsTEADE ESTATE.
The Dry Goods Prince VIII Not Buy the Long
Island Railroud.

The Dry Goods Prince Will Not Buy the Long
Island Railroad.
The report in the Long Island papers that A.
7. Stewart is negotiating for the purchase of the
Long Island Railroad has no foundation. Late
last fall Mr.. Stewart solicited price at which
the interest of Oliver Charlck could be pur-
chased, and sum was named by the latter
gentleman which was promptly accepted by Mr.
Stewart.
On the morrow Mr.. Charlick added to the pre-
viously named sum 100000, and Mr.. Stewart
refused to further negotiate for the road or any
interest in it, and remarked lately If one-half
million is deducted from the price he will still
refuse to negotiate further. Lately the Presi-
dent of the road has made offers which have not
been considered.
The reports intimating that Mr.. Stewards road
has been located through Jamaica are also erro-
neous. A number of routes have been surveyed,
two through jamaica two through Flushing.
and others by yet different routes. AS yet
nothing is known as to what route will be
located by Mr. Stewart. He has contracted with
lumber dealers at Roslyn for 5000 spruce
pickets for fencing on the plains at $11 per NJ.
1t is reported that he contemplates erecting a
hotel on the plains at q cost of $3.50, 600.

Shocking Case Long Island-Terriblo Suffer-

Shocking Case on Long Island-TerrIbic Suffer-
ing and Death by SufocatiOn.
On Wednesday of last week, a citizen of
Queens, Long Island, named Henry Klean, was
attacked by ferocous dog and badly bitten.
The attack of the brute was observed by Messrs.
Rowland and Gillen, who drove the dog away,
and carried Klean to the Post Office, where his
wounds were dressed. He was afterwards re-
moved to his home, where he finally recovered
so as to be able to resume his everyday duties.
On Thursday last his conduct excited suspicion;
he complained of feeling dizzy which was at
tended by nausea and vomiting. He entered the
lager beer saloon of Mr.. Schmidt, and asked for
a glass of lager, which when offered he refused
to accept, and left the house. Under the horse
shed he observed pail of water which he
frantically seized and dashed to the ground. He
then started on a run for his residence. He
dashed open the door in a paroXysm of terror,
yelling with delirium and pain, frothing from
the mouth, and bleeding from the nose. He
continued unrelieved in his sufferings for about
an hour, and as he seemed to grow worse it was
found necessary to cause his death by smother
ing him between feather beds.

THE NAVY YARDS.

More discharges in the Washington Yard
Good for the Ohcers, bat Bad for the Men
The Washington Star of last evening says:-
On Saturday, twenty-five men, known as yard
laborers in the department of the Civil Engi-
neer of the Navy Yard, were suspended from
employment, in consequence of the want of
money to run the entire force now employed
in the Bureau of Yards and Docks Efforts
will be made at the Navy Department to-
day, by the executive officer of the yard.
Captain T. II. Patterson, now in charge OF
said bureau, to have the funds on hand
by other bureaus transferred to Yards
and Docks Bureau, in order that the work may
be continued OF the twenty-five men dis
charged, several who had never served in the
army or navy were placed there by order of the
Secretary of the Navy. At this time there is
but one department in which there is a sutti-
cheney of Work-the ordnance-where about $50
men are employed. There is considerable COM
ment about the yard and among those recently
discharged, in relation to honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors being removed and those
who have never done service in defense of the
Government being retained. 1t is statedsthat In
the place of q discharged workman, who served
throughout the whole war, recently man was
appointed who served three years according to
his own admissions) in the Rebel army. This
yard is probably the best officered yard in the
country, at least numerically, there being thirty
officers, while the number of men employed II
less than 700 The number of officers during
the war, when frequently the rolls called fol
1900 men, never exceeded the number at presen
attached to the yard.

Special Despatch TO The Epening Telegraph
WASHINGTON, March 22.--The House to-day
received from Secretary Robson copies of tele-
grams, letters, ETC., of Paymaster Thomas H.
LOCKER, United States Navy in relation to the
the Navy Department, which favors the staff.
1t seems that the Secretary of the Navy ad-
dressed communication to Admiral Farragut,
asking if the letter and signature were genuine.
The Admiral replied that he did not remember
ever having written such a letter; but it is un-
derstood that subsequently he has reconsidered
his decision, and now thinks he did. 1t also ap-
pears that Paymaster LOCKER had considerable
to do with the Admiral signing such letter,
and pronounces it genuine.

House of Commons.
In the Mouse of Commons the Marquis of
harrington Postmaster-G General replied to O
question relative to delays in the telegraphic
service. He explained that the delays were
now chiefly confined to Ireland. The tele-
graphic tolls were cheap, and consequently the
wires were crowded. This was especially true
in the north of Ireland.
In the southern counties the lines had been
cut maliciously. The submarine cable connect
ing Wexford with Haverford, West Wales, had
also been cut ten miles away from the Irish
coast. Under such circumstances delays were
inevitable, but he hoped soon to be able to an-
nounce that delays occur only in exceptional
cases.
Right Hon. William Monsell, Under Secretary
for the Colonial Department, in reply to ques-
| ton, explained that the knighthood offered to
Gait recently was totally unconnected with the
question of Canadian independence
! Mr.. Gladstone in reply to a question: said he
| hoped to get meeting of the Committee on the
Irish Land Bill on Tuesday, in order that the
question might be disposed of in time to receive
| the budget before Easter.
| The Consul Fund bill then came up, was de-
bated briefly, and passed.
| The discussion on the Land bill was then re-
| sumed.

Sketch of Bishop Thomson.

The Rev. Edward Thomson was born at Port
sea, England, in the year 1910, but came to the
United States when only nine years of age. He
first turned his attention to the study of medi-
cine, attending courses of lectures in this city
and in Cincinnati SUCCESSFULLY and engaging
in the practice of this profession in
the year 1899. But he soon ahan-
doned medicine for the calling of the
ministry, and in 1888 was received into the Ohio
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
being stationed successfully at Norwalk, San
dusky, Cincinnati, and Wooster, Ohio, and
Detroit, Michigan. DR.. Thomson's fine culture
soon diverted him from the ordinary labors of
the pulpit and in 1888 he was chosen President
of the Norwalk Seminary, an institution under
the care and control of the Methodist
Church, retaining this post for five
years, at the close of which time
he was elected Professor of Mental and Moral
Philosophy in the University of Michigan,
which was just getting under way at that time.
A few years afterwards he was appointed editor
Of the Ladies Repository, an able monthly pub
lished by the Methodist Church in Cincinnati
retaining this position until his election to the
Presidency of the Ohio Wesleyan University, at
Delaware, in that State. He filled this post
when, at the General Conference of 1860, he
was elected to the editorship of the Christian
AdUocate, the official organ of the Church, pub
lished at New York. Under DR.. Thomsons
management, the reputation and influence of
this journal were fully maintained. In May,
| 1864, at the General Conference held at the
Union NJ E. Church in this city, he was elected
and ordained a bishop, thus attaining, atthe age
of fifty, the most honorable and responsible po-
sition in the gift of the Church. Ibis capacity
as Bishop, DIR. Thomson presided
over the deliberations of the Phila-
delphia Conference in this city in March
of last year. and having just completed his
labors at the recent session of the West Virginia
Conference, was on his way to Jersey City to
preside over the Newark Conference, which
meets tomorrow, when he was overtaken by
death The deceased was man of remarkable
ability and unusual culture, and was justly re-
garded as one of the most scholarly aud eloquent
| men in the Methodist ministry of this country.
| His death will create a profound sensation in
the Church of which he was such distinguished
leader.

since by wine merchant in that city to Chi
cago, were returned with the statement that
the condition of the wine would injure its sale.
One of the bottles was examined, and number
of crystals were found resting in the wine,
These were analyzed and discovered to be
argols, or crystals of tartar, the effect of the
extreme cold upon the champagne. Seueral
bottles were then placed in high temperature,
some 160 degrees, until this frozen tartar was

again tested after 1t had cooled and found to be
excellent, the freezing and heating process II
had passed through having the same effect as
age, and giving young wine the flavor of Q
