Sheridan In the Fire.

In the terrible ordeal through which
the Inflated city of Chicago has just
passed, there appeared one man, al
least, who, while tho fiery tide swept
over the city, was calm, collected and
self.controlled amid the excitement
prevailing all around him. That mar
was General Sheridan. As at Win.
chester he arrived in time to rally his
army and lnfuse spirit In his retiring
soldiers to renew the struggle which
secured them n glorious victory, so his
presence at Chicago, when the city was
wrapped In flames, had the effect OF
Inspiring the almost despairing citizens
with the hope that all was not yet lost.
Self-controiled, determined and vigil
liant, the hero Of the Shenandoah valley
played a part In battling with the
fiames in the garden city Of the West
which will add to his renown and cause
his name 10 be still more warmly cher
ished In the memory Of his country
men. With his handful Of men he ac-
complished wonders. Fighting fire
with fire. destroying TO prevent greater
destruction, blowing up buildings the
ruins Of which were to serve as barri-
cades against the fast consuming flames
Gen. Sheridan contested every inch Of
Its advance. As If Heaven itselfsmiled
on the resoluteness with which the
brave soldier fought for the safety OF
the homes Of the unfortunate Chicago
ans, It let fall copious torrents Of rain
to aid the strugglers, and thus the con-
flagration was stayed. But the labors
OF the soldier were not ended. Thou
sands Of homeless men, women and
children were without q place to lay
their heads and without food to stay
the cravings OF hunger. For n second
time did Sheridan's. thoughtfulness
and army experience come to the res
cue. The tents and army rations pro-
vided through his forethought afforded
shelter and food for the sufferers. This
temporary relief brldged over the ill.,
term between the first effects Of the
terrible calamity and the reception of
the first bounteous offerings Of the peo-
pie of the whole nation, who have
never yet been deaf to the appeals Of
suffering or misfortme.-N. \. Herald.

ern Andrew Jackson. Discrimination

Detectives iIcDougal and Elder Make a Bril-

Murphy, Alias James Robinson, on Another
Chnrae-He is Identified by tho Victims.
Detectives McDougal and. Elder, OF the Central
Police once Department have succeeded IN discov-
erlng one OF the most expert swindlers IN this or
perhaps, any other city. His name is Thomas
Murphy, but he is rather better known BY the name
OF James Robinson. Van Eeten, who was convicted
some time ago in the Court OF General Sessions for
fraud and is now chewing the cui OF bitter fancy in
the coisters OF Sing Sing, was 'pal" Of Murpny's.
They worked together and neeced the merchants OF
Gotham extensively. Robinson kept what pur-
ported to be an Insurance and real estate oflce at
132 Nassau street, In June last Robinson sold to
Fisk & Hatch a lve-twenty bond. and received
check for the same for $1l3. This he "raised.n as
the phrase goes-that Is, altered from the amount
stated to $4,000, and deposited it in the Security
Bank opening an account there at the same
tlme HIS next transaction OF which there is legal
cognizance is his going to the store Of Herman,
Boxer Co., so Cliff street, and purchasing shot
gun. The price of the gun was $50. and Muir
ply, alias Robinson. gave 500 bill and requested
given him on the ST. Nicholas Bank which bank by
the way, subsequently certified IL as good when
to se39s. with thi, snug sum Robinson went
'speculating in gold," and bought on the strength

was to negotiate the purchase or quantity OF OIL

Sl0o bill before, received the change by check
the Bank OF New York, which he raised to SS,3o5.
and passed on Moller h Co. for gold. This system
OF swlndng ne continued with marvellous success,
until his arr. st lew days ago Tor beng concerned
with others in defrauding Messrs Arnold
& Constable out Of $500 worth OF aces. The
whole thing was most ingeniously contrived, carried
Justice Downing, at the Tombs Police Court. the
cashier OF the Security Bank and others appeared
and Identified Robinson the person by whom they
had been swIndled. Robinson, alias Murphy, protest
ed he not guilty. but, after their afiidavits had
been taken, the Justice held him or trial IN default
OF $4,000 bail. Murphy said, on his examination,
that he was thirty five years OF age and born In
Dublin. lie Is married to very Respectable look

TIE YACHT MIRA.

Probable Loss in lIid Orean-The Vessel nnd
Her Career.
There seems to be now no doubt that the yacht
Maria, which has been in the West India fruit carry
lng was lost in tile storm OF October last. Her crew
was made up OF Captain John Hartling, OF Staten
Island; the first and second officers, four
men, the cook ana q boy. The vessel was
built In 1913 by J. c. stevens, Of Hopoken,
then Commodore OF the New York Yacht CLUB, and
was for long time considered one Of the neetest
craft anoat. She has frequently defeated the famous
America, which was the property or Mr. Stevens.
The Maria was ninety feet Keel, schooner rigsed;
her spars were eighty and elghtytwo feet long; she
carried an immense spread Of canvas and was an ex-
qulsite model. She last cleared from New York
on the 18th OF July. 1870, for Honduras
and st. Andrews, returning from ST. Andrews
In september last to this port, since which time
nothing has been heard OF her. AT the death of the
Old Commodore she passed into the hands OF
Edwin stevens also Commodore OF the New York
Yacht Club.
For two or three years during his time she lay idle
on the wharf AT HoboKen, and when he died she
was sold TO Captain Buckalew Peter Morsel, John
Eberhard and Andrew Rowell, VINO had her rebuilt
at Michael Alsten's shipyard for the West India
fruit business.
