shawl strap makers Of Newark, are now in the

representations about their business SOL

sorted to-Mounted Messengers md
Patrolmen.
At the Police Headquarters yesterday there was
no small share of excitement well as anxious
elaboration. No kilograms to warn the officials
there OF whatever crime might be committed
within the city limits could possibly be despatched.
The result, Judging from the condition of things as
early as two O'Clock in the afternoon, appeared to
be discouraging in the extreme. superintendent
Kelso was heading his battalion at Captain
Camerons funeral, and In his absence little
provision could be made In case OF any serious
emergency. Mr.. Kelso, however, arrived between
two and three O'Clock dripping with rain and
spattered with the mire OF the slushy streets He
quickly conferred with Inspector McDermott, Prcsi-
dent Hitchmvn, OF the Fire Department, and Com
missioner Blair ON the proper measures to be
adopted, and sent IS many men Of the force as he
could find near at nand to notify the mounted
police TO be in immediate attendance As soon as
the latter had arrived at headquarters he sent
special messengers to each police station with the
following orders;-
The police and FIRE telegraph wires are broken dowr

several of them lodge their servants at the top
of high house, whence there is not the ghost
of chance to escape alive in case fire should
occur in the one staircase leading to the loft
1t certainly behooves the keepers of hotels to
make those provisions which humanity requires
for the safety of servants as well as guests,
and the Fire Marshal and Superintendent of
Buildings owe it to the community and the
travelling public to enforce strictly the law,
which requires ample fire escapes. especially
on buildings liable to be thronged with
dodgers If the burned child breads the fire
it is time for New York to institute prompt
measures to prevent the recurrence of the ter
rible scenes of the past month.

Condition OF the Potion nc River.

The condition OF the Potomac River at Harper's
Ferry was reported at four O'Clock p ~ as station
airy, and twenty inches lower at ten O'Clock A. M.
to-day. This seems to indicate that the danger
to be anticipated here must come, II at all, from
the movement OF the Ice now filling the river,
which may happen when the swell from the Upper
Potomac and Shenandoah valleys reaches wash
ington. The time required for a rise at Harper's
Ferry 10 reach Washington Is estimated at twenty
four hours. The greatest rise reported at Far
pers Ferry was three and half feet at ten O'Clock
to-day.

An Attempt 20 be made to Cheat
Thurman Out Of His Victory.

WASHINGTON, October 3O.-It seems from the
expressions Of the personal and political friends
OF Governor NOyes, Secretary Delano, and of some
Of the other Republican aSpFAnts for the position
Of u. y. Senator from Ohio, that these gentlemen
haye not by any means given up their hopes on
account Of che election OF DemOcractic Legisla-
ture. A constitutional convention has been in
session in Ohio for many months, fixing up q new
constitution for that State. It is now Raid that
clause will be inserted In the new constitution,
which will be submitted { the vote OF the paaRAa
nezt spring, providing for the election Of q new
Legislature next fall As the present term Of Sen
tioT Thurman does not expire untll March A. 1875,
IL is claimed that such new Legislature, which
would meet at least two mohths before that tine,
would only have the power to elect his successor.
TIE Republicans would have good chance, Il il
said. Of carrying the State. as the election for
members OF the House OF Representatives takes
place in 1874 and very full vote will thereby be
brought out. II is a matter Of no doubt that sosle
zach scheMe as this is q plot TO deprive Senator
Thurman OF the Wsil-earnsd reward OF his late
Tiet0Ry. The scheme, however, is not certain Of
UueOssa for the constitution itself has yet to
