NEW YORK, January s..
Mayor Havemeyer was nominated for the
chief magistracy last fall by coalition of the
Republicans and the committee of seventy.
he was run as ''retorm' candidate, but was
elected mainly by Republican votes. Yester-
day he bolted from bis political associates In q
letter to the committee Of seventy upon the
new city charter about to be passed by the
legislature. That charter he denounces as
the device OF a ring as rapacious and unscru-
pulous as the Tweed ring. He does not hesl-
tate to s'speak out In meeting" about iC. He
lets the public know that he means Grants
friend, Tom Murphy, and the Republican
party leaders in this city when he says-"riDg."
That Mayor Havemeyer should break with
the party that elected him, indicates q disso-
lntion OF the political elements which carried
the city last November, and the restoration OF
the Democracy to power. The Herald attri-
butes something more to the mayor than q
mere desire 10 prevent the passage of the
Murphy charter In the Legislature. 1t char
acterizes his action as shrewd bid for Demo-
cratic favor and pardon. At any rate 1t is EVIL
dent the mayor Ia disappointed with the courEe
of the Republican party elnce the election,
and that he now looks Tor reform to come
from the party with which he was associated
for the better part Of his lifetime.
Samuel J. Tilden, who with Charles O'Conor
lead the municipal reform movement last year,
has written letter sixteen columns long CIV
ing history of the overthrow OF Tweed, and
showing how little the Times really had to do
with 1t, beyond publishing the accounts. It Ia
spicy reading, and has thrown the Times into
spasms.
leciual aristocracy of New York must have
been very gratifying to him. Mr.. Evarts's
speech was graceful aud witty, and the inevl-
table and inexhaustibls Beecher turned mp
with O column of talk as fresh as ever. Pro.
fessor Tyndall's visit has accomplished q
double purpose. He has widened the Interest
In science In this country, and has broken the
way for the first leaders of thought In Eng
land 10 come here. We may hope to hear
Huxley, Darwin, Carpenter, Wallace and even
Mill on the strength OF the inspiration occa-
A COMMITTEES of the West Sds Association
has been inventlng names Tor the new streets
to be laid out about the Central Park circle at
West Ffty-ninth street, and suggesting
changes OF those already in use. The names
und reasons for selecting each are set forth In
an elaborate report which ls 10 be presented
10 the Common Council. As considerable In
genuity has been exercised In this process, q
notice of some of the street names which IN
al forn tltor n
Maiden Lane and the Bowery will afford
amusement. The city, be 1t understood, is
laid out on The maps almost 10 the upper end
OF the island. The numerical system is pre-
served for the cross streets. the street nearest
to Washington Heights belDg l6lst. ln
twenty years the enllre upper part OF the
island will be covered over with dwellings,
and every street will have to. be properly
named and numbered.
The two most important thoroughfares OF
The future, north OF The Central Park circle,
will be the new boulevard, upon which the
grand residences will be bait, and the con.
llnuatiOn Of Eighth avenue, which, opposite
the Park, will be appropriated for residences,
and above vii! be the great business street Of
the north part OF the Island. The committee
propose 10 prefix the word "Broadway" to
The boulevard, 30 as to distinguish It from
other boulevards which will undoubtedly bs
laid out. Eighth avenue, skirllng the west
side OF The Park, which from ils high grade
overlooking the Park Is adapted Tor resi-
dences, will be called "The West Bourne" the
old English word bourne signiiliDg boundary.
Eighth avenue, above the Park, will, In
honor of the ancient Knickerbocker, be
called 1.-THE Ametel Way" tna Amstel
being The river which runs through the city
of Amsterdam, in Holland. Our fashionable
ladies' of'l900. therefore, will do their shop
ping on "The Amstel wny." 1t sounds old at
frst, but renoat it few times and 1t Is not
bad. "Mornlpgslde avenue" and "Rlverslde
avenue" skirt The new parks OF those names.
The continuation OF Ninth avenue Is "Glrn-
denning avenue" after an old time property
owner of that name. Tenth avenue runs INTO
Fort George street" 10 honor OF the @ reVolu'
lionary fort at Washington Heights" "Bloom-
lnpdale avenue" will connect Eleventh avenue
with the Boulevard. A broad street from
Centeral park northward, next to the Amslel
Way ia called ''Weslchester avenue" Among
the names for smaller streets are those OF
"KnowItcn avenue, ""Albany road, "Grange
road,r Manhattan street" "BOnDy Brae road"
Harlem lane" "Edge hill road" Cnderclit
road" "Avenue st. Nicholas"
Mr.. Greeley's Insanity appears to be fully
proven by the evidence In the contest over
his will. he showed signs oil mental unbal-
ance TO some of bis Intimate friends as far
back as the time he was making those won
derinl speeches on bls Western tour, when
his political partlsa1s were In state OF ner-
reus anxiety for lear he would say some rash
thing that would destroy his presidential pros.

his mnu, 1t seems extraordinary that he was
30 shrewd and careful In his remarks. Greeley
was mental phenomenon. The Tribune de-

5000, 900. Beyond his six shares In the TIL

money, or dollars worth OF productive rea
