A MOuthfnl of EggS-The Tables Turned
on Practical Joker


An lrishman has for some months
kept an egg stand in Court Street
Market He was accommodating, cour-
teous, polite, and upon suitable
occasions fond of Il Joke. With his
customers these qualities made him
grow in favor. and so his business
hourished. Upon his shrewdness he
INDUCED in a special pride, tlattering
himself that it was an exceedingly diff
cult matter to "take him IN Yester-
day morning he met his match-that
is, according to the judgment of disin-
terested observers. A huge Switzer,
whose youthful muscles had been hard
ened by toiling up Alpine sleeps, clam
bering over mountain rocks, and, with
raspcd heel and mountaineer's crook,
gliding at railroad speed down glaciers,
approached his market stand. He was,
indeed, a muscular, heavyjawed Gus
toner. g Here is fifty cents ! will give
you for Il mouthful of eggs said the
Alpine mountaineer, laying down the
fifty cents by the egg dealers cash box,
and looking his man straight in the eyes.
Our egg merchant surveyed his Gus

The ASN STREET AND PARK Row CORNER.
The new Post Office is progressing towards
completion. When il is finished there will be
mo more important business location in the
city than the north corner of Ann street and
Park row, opposite the HERALD building. Yet
fhat property is now suffered to remain in a
half ruinous condition, either unoccupied or
Infested with saloons and gambling dens.
The public necessity will soon demand the
widening OF Ann street to Nassau, and the
sharp, unsightly corner should at once be
removed and give way to handsome building
pet back q proper distance to meet the require
rnent of the wider street. Such piece of
property would be of great value, and would
command high rents, besides being an impor-
liant public improvement. No building site
in the city offers q more favorable prospect

Fatal Firo at tho Fifth Avenue
Hotel-A Terrible Calamity.

Fatal Fire at tho Fifth Avenue
Hotel-A Terrible Calamity.
We are panied to announced tho occurrence
of terrible calamity at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel last night. About half-past eleven
o clock the intelligence that the hotel
was on fro spread with rapidity through
the city and drew many thousands Of people
to the spot. It appears that the fire was
for some time kept as quiet as possible. appa-
rently with the hope that it might be subdued
without creating panic among the guests
This precaution helped to bring about the ter
rible result. The fire originated on stairway
leading from the landing to the sleep
ing rooms occupied by the female
servants, and ran rapidly up tho
stairs, cutting off the poor girls from escape
As nearly as can be ascertained at the present
writing, the fire was discovered soon after
eleven clock by one of the guests of the house,
and by the time assistance could be procured
access to the upper rooms by the stairs was
impossible The girls, tired out with their
days work, were doubtless sleeping soundly,
and were probably, for the most part,
suffocated in their beds, or burned
in their attempt to escape. In the
early part of the fire two females
were taken out Of one of the rooms
on the fourth floor, badly burned, and were
conveyed to the hospital. The bodies of the
others were not found until after one o'clock,
when the fire had been subdued. Thirteen
bodies were discovered in the sleeping
apartments.
We are unwilling at this time to condemn
the parties in charge of the hotel, but it is
stated that gross carelessness was apparent in
the condition of the warming apparatus and
that there was too much anxiety to keep the
fact of the fire secret and too little effort made
to save the unfortunate girls. There appears
to have been very insufficient provision
against such a disaster as that which
has now occurred, and it is probably
fortunate that the fire did not break
out at later hour The whole subject
will no doubt be thoroughly investigated.
Although we hear at present Of only thirteen
deaths it is feared greater number may have
occurred.

REPORT FROM WASHINGTON represents that
the President is about to revive the St. Do
mingo scheme; that he interprets his re-elec-
ton as an endorsement of O policy which, by
the way, was out of existence at the time of
the Presidential contest, and that Secretary
Delano is bound on mission of Dominican
annexation. SO, according to this story.
We are to have a new star added
to the flag before another year
rolls round, and are to welcome President
Baez to seat in the United States Sem
ate. On the principle that no rumor is too
absurd for the meridian Of Washington, this
one may be allowed to pass. But President
Grant is more likely to covet the renown of
restoring peace and constitutional rights to the
States already in the Union than of adding to
their number

MISS NELSON, THE '.BRIaHr PARTICULAR
guests who were disturbed by the fire at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel last night Miss Nelson
is so great an acquisition to our dramatic
circles her youth, beauty and genius have
made her SO deseryedly popular, that every one
will regret the inconvenience to which she
may have been subjected by our mysterious
''fre aend," who attacks newspaper estab-
lishment one night and a fashionable hotel the
next. However. we trust the mishap will not
deprive our citizens even for single evening
of those admirable presentations which have
SO delighted them, and which have stamped
Miss Nelson as an actress Of extraordinary
merit

Tho Mutual Liso Insurance War.

Tho Mutual Liso Insurance War,
In another portion of the HERALD will be
found memorial, signed by a large number
OF policy-holders of the Mutual Life, addressed
to the trustees of the company, plainly calling
on them to reconsider their determination rel
ative to the proposed reduction Of rates. 1t
takes the strong ground, based on the opinion
OF the three actuaries. that it is an experiment
tai revolution of doubtful legality, and tends
to hazard the funds accumulated by the pres
ent policy-holders to the benefit Of members
coming in under the proposed reduction. 1t
concludes by protest against this action Of
the trustees, as an unjustifable exercise of
their official functions. These memorialists,
then, take up the cudgels for themselves, as
well as for the eighteen companies, and we
shall doubtless see, under the pressure they
will bring to bear, the whole matter taken out
of it's present field and argued with more
show Of fairness and less Of special pleading.
What we especially look for is an examination
into the matter by impartial experts and
final opinion rendered between, of course the
trustees and the policy holders for, no matter
hcw the result can affect the other companies,
they will scarcely expect to be Of the parties
at present asking Judgment We are anxious,
however, that all sides should fearlessly make
their statements. The subject takes in very
wide range of clients and touches a great
many interests which would not appear at
first sight. For our own part we believe that
no step should be taken wantonly or under
false pretences by which the smaller COM
panies would inevitably be ruined and others
endangered in the same manner. We are not,
however, prepared to say that all the little
struggling companies have q perfect raison
Tetre. They have been ''drummed' into
existence as Connecticut hats are forced on
the market by persistent and able ''drummers"
all over the country, who are often rather
more apt to grab their commissions than do
justice to the company or the individual
Every bad risk taken tends to weaken the
company and endanger the policies of the
healthy, paying policy-holders. These are
some of the evils that threaten the small COM
panies at all times; yet we do not think that an
honest reform should begin with bringing
inevitable suspension upon them. 1t lies, we
imagine, in policy of consolidation on some
well defined basis, by which uniform rule
and limited expenditure would result. The
evil threatened in this case is the creation of
monopoly, which might, we believe, be
checked by satisfactory laws limiting the scale
both as to maximum and minimum. 1t is
palpable that the present condition Of life
insurance is by no means such as it's friends
would wish, and, if thorough examination
of all the bearings Of the subject be achieved,
this ambitious attempted innovation by the
Mutual Life may work good after ALL

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION OF NEW
JERSEY. proposition to call convention
to amend the State constitution of New Jersey
is being discussed in the New Jersey papers.
The Trenton Gazette thinks there ore several
particulars in which the constitution needs
revising and amending, but doubts if the pres
ent is the best time to undertake this impor-
tant work. The charter of the Camden and
Amboy Railroad Company has been considered
the constitution of the State of New Jersey for
so many years that it would be pity now to
disturb the repose the citizens enjoy under its
blissful egis But if it is proposed to amend
the constitution of the State in earnest, then
the sooner the work is commenced and
finished the better.

The City Expenses for the Coming
Year.

Year.
The elaborate statement of the condition Of
the city finances and of the estimated expenses
of the city departments for the coming year,
published yesterday by Comptroller Green,
presents some noticeable features. When
compared with the amounts appropriated last
year it appears that the Commissioner of the
Department of Public Works, Mr.. Van Mort,
asked this year about two hundred thousand
dollars less than he received in 1872, and was
allowed two hundred thousand dollars less
than he asked. The Department Of Public
Parks asked this year thirty thousand dollars
more than the whole appropriation Of 1872 and
received twenty thousand dollars more, showing
an increase ofexpenditure. The Department of
Finance asked five thousand dollars more than
last years appropriation. For claims and
judgments against the city over four hundred
thousand dollars advance over last years
amount was demanded. The Department OF
list. This department was largely within the
appropriations in its expenditures for the
current year; but the low estimate given to
the Board Of Apportionment was still further
reduced by two hundred and eleven thousand
dollars, so that the appropriation for 1873 is
five hundred and eight thousand five
hundred dollars less than for the current
year-a reduction of nearly twenty-five per
cent Of other appropriations those for the
Fire Department. Police Department, Depart
ment Of Charities and Correction and the
Department of Public Instruction have been
increased in consideration of the growth of
the city and the consequent extension of their
duties and expenditures.
