POSTPOEEMFNT,
FOURTH GIFT CONCERT OF PUDLt{
BRAEY OF KENTUCKY.
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

BhAts1 tt H..
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
The trustees OF the Public Library Of
kentucky and the management OF the
Gift Concert announce the post ponc-
ment of the Fourth Gift Concert until
Tuesday, the 31St OF March next.
The public viii readily understand
the causes which have made this post
ponement necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the
last two months paralyzed the business
of every section Of this country IN d
Europe, has prevented thousands fro m
investing in tickets. The epidemics
prevailing almost the entire South have
ent off large and available market.
And, too, the public Judging from the
effect Of these causes have expected a
postponement and have declined to in
vest without n moro positive assurance
of the drawing taking place on fixed
day
All interested desire a full drawing,
but for the reasons Just stated this could
not he had on the Sd of December, but
the short postponement now announced
will secure it.
The management have met with IN
precedented success. Tho sales of
tickets, the proceeds Of which have 81
ready been received, amount to over u
million dollars, with a number Of agen.
cies in this country yet to hear from,
and all those in Europe.
Thus a drawing Sealing the gifts one
half could be had now, but the man.
agement deem il best to have a post
ponement and full drawing.
This postponement assures the sale of
all the tickets and full drawing. That
this determination will meet with tho
pprobation of nearly every one inter-
ested is made apparent by the very
numero us letters received from every
section OF this country and the Canadas
asking for postponement
This action of the management will
work no detriment to any but will be
for the good of all. BY it the fortunate
ticket-holders will receive their gifts in
full while it will not affect those who do
not draw gifts.
In making this announcement the
management emphatically state that
there shall be no further postponement
and to this end all agents will DO i'm
peratiyely required to close up and
transmit their accounts to this Office by
the 2lst of March.

uNEARrH1Na A MURDER.

About two months ago the body of q
German named AIois Moiner, who had
then recently arrived from the + ther-
land, was found with apistol shot wound
in the bend lying in room in the
Hansa hotel, in Hobokcn, where he
boarded. County Physician Buck was
notified, and concluding that death had
resulted from suicide gave permit for
burial. The German consul general a
few days ago inclosed the County Ply
sician Buck an anonymous letter writ
ten in German making some revelations
concerning the case. The letter was
yesterday delivered through Recorder
Bohnertedt into tho hands of County
Physician Buck. After stating the
fact of the discovery Of Moiner's body
in the hotel room, the letter proceeds to
state that the deceased left a large guam
tity Of money in the room. Part of this
was taken possession of by County Ply
stefan Buck, but all so recovered is said
to have been II negotiable y
The negotiable papers and ready
money left by tho deceased have dis.
disappeared The letter furth-
er states that previously to Moiner's
sudden death Lorenz Weiss, the pro-
prietor of the hotel, was cramped
pecuniarily and deep in debt, and that
Just after Moiner's death he paid all of
these debts, redeeming notes that were
considered worthless and many even
that were outlawed, and after he had
dono this invested considerable sums of
money on bond and mortgage. The
letter further alleges that after Moiner's
death tho hotel proprietor had in his
possession large quantity of Prussian
coins, which he exchanged in several
places for Uuited States currency, and
concludes by demanding an investiga-
ton into the matter.
The letter came into the possession
of tho Hoboken police authorities
through Recorder Bohnestedt Saturday
last. Information of its existence and
contents was, it is said, conveyed to
Weiss on the afternoon of the day on
which the letter reached Hoboken. One
of the German steamers sailed within
fifteen minutes after the information
had been impaired to him. During
that short time he packed his trunks
and took passage on the steamer for
Europe, assigning no reason for his sud-
den departure.
The matter is now in the hands of the
County Physician. 1t is not known
what steps lie proposes to take in the
mattel, but the body will probably be
disinterred and an inquest heldN

STATE ITEMS.

The body found in the river at Pater-
son has been identified as that of Caleb
Hardegrave, who disappeared some time
ago.
The jury in the Pope robbery case,
Paterson. yesterday afternoon acquitted
Joseph X. Powers, the principal defend.
ant. This was his second trial, and,
like the first, lasted for three weeks.
A man representing himself as form
er Master Mason of the grand lodge of
Scotland is confined in the Newark aims
house. Thursday night Oriental lodge,
of that city, subscribed 800 to his re-
lief, and he will sail for Scotland on the
9th inst.
The jury in tho caso OF the James Il.
Powers, George Fine, and .Iohn Denny.
indicted for gagging and robbing Sam.
Pope is his own horse at Paterson a
year ago, after being out twenty-four
hours returned verdict yesterday morn
ing acquitting Fine and Denny, but
but disagreeing as to Powers. The jury
were sent back again and the court adj
iourned. This is the second trial of
Powers on this charge.
Robert N. Wordsworth, who was ar
rested in New York and extradited to
New Brunswick for alleged completely
in the New Brunswick State bank and
Carpet company frauds, was ken be-
fore Judge Scudder at New brunswick
on habeas corpus. Leon Albeit, his
counsel, made an application to the
court for Mr.. Woodworths discharge
upon two grounds First, that the OF
fence charged against him is not set
forth with sufficient particularly in the
papers on which he is held and second,
that the extradtion was irregular.
Judge Scudder said that the points rails
ed were of such Importance that he
would take time to consider them and
decide the matter Tuesday.

The two chromos presented to sub
scribers of The Aldine for 1874 are beau
tiful and unusual works of art-faithful
copies Of actual paintings in oil made
by the celebrated artist, Thomas Moran,
from studies OF nature. These chromos
represent scenes characteristic Of the
East and the West the White Noun
tains OF New Hampshire, and the Cliffs
of Green river in Wyoming Territory.
In all the range of grand and beautiful
American scenery, it would be difficult
to find two moro picturesque or charm
ing views, unlike as nature in her vary
ing moods, yet appropriate companion
pieces. They are every way worthy of
the great art journal OF America--The
Aldine. These chromos arc SO fine,
they can only be compared with the
highest-priced pictures offered in the
market. 1t would be an injustice to
place them by the side of any of the
cheap prints commonly sent out by
newspapers RS premiums to their sub
scribers.

The sale of postage stamps at the post
Office of the house of representatives
frequently exceed fifty dollars day
The members begin to feel the inconce-
nience and loss to themselves of the alb.
clifton of the ranking privilege, now
that they are daily called upon to send
public documents to their constituents
ut their own expense. They say they
do not mind putting stamps on their
letters, but when it comes to putting
stamps ON heavy books, the burden is
too heavy to be long endured. There
is a good deal of talk of revival of
ranking applied to public documents
only. Another plan is to authorize by
law the public printer TO mail the docu-
ments free of postage to such persons as
the members direct and still another is
to have stamping machine. with an en-
graved steel die kept in the clerks Office
to stamp documents for free transporta-
tion through tho mails.

MARSHAL BAzAINE.

This eminent soldier is to be impris
oned for twenty two years, instead ol
being shot. He has served in the
French army for forty-two years, nearly
half q century, and for his devotion tc
the man he loved so well, even in nd
versity, he is to suffer disgrace and de
graduation.
That he would have preferred death
thousand times, no ono doubts, but this
boon, it seems, has been denied him,
and for the remainder OF his existence,
which at the best, must necessarily be
brief, he is to live despised by mankind,
and to go down to his grave in the deep,
est dlsgrace-the punishment being the
most terrible ever inflicted on man
who has risen to such prominence.
President McMahon might well have
taken Bazaines baton, and allowed him
to pass the remainder of his days with
his aged wife and children in peace, and
we should all have thought just as much
of him and the fickle-minded nation,
over which, we hope, he will preside
long and well.
But France had to satisfy its pride
a sacrifice had to be made-to wipe out
their disgraceful defeats in the last war,
and now that they have taken away the
reputation of one of its oldest warriors,
we suppose they will feel satisfied. Po'
litical demagogues, however, did more
to ruin France than Marshal Bazaine,
whom VIC must pity.

WHO INTRODUCED RAILROADS IN AME
RIGA Z


The Springfield Republican publish.
es the following letter from l.. @. G.
Elmer, of Bridgeton, Reading the
interesting account of the Hoosac Tun-
mel in your paper of November %,
find new illustration of the difficulty
Of obtaining correct historian data.
The writer states that i'll 1926 Dir.
Phelps presented the first proposition
ever made for railroad before any
Legislative body in the United States.
This is mistake. About 1911 Colonel
John Stevens, OF Hoboken, presented q
memorial to the legislature to authorize
q railroad in New Jersey, and in Febru-
airy, 1915. a law was passed incorporat.
ing the New Jersey railroad company,
authorizing road from Trenton to New
Brunswick. This road was built. In
1920 l saw at Hoboken Colonel Ste.
venss short railroad, laid as an expert
ment. Locomotive steam engines had
not been perfected, and the best engi,
neers did not suppose there would be
sufficient traction in plain wheels tc
draw a heavy weight. The railway put
up by Stevens was provided wife mid.
die rail having teeth for driving rack.
This gentleman was fat err OF the Messrs.
Stevens who built the first railroad in
New Jersey by virtue of the act OF 1882.
He entered into competition with Full
ton to run tho first steamboat ON the
waters of the Hudson, and thus obtain
the monopoly granted by the law oil
New York, but falling a little behind in
time, he sent his boat round to the Del
aware, and / was carried by her in 1912
The family maintained line of boats on
the Delaware individually or by the
company until their death.
