NEW YORK ITEMS,


New YORK, July S.-Two memorials will be
presented to the Governor to-day at his coun-
try seat, and appeals will be made for the re-
moval of Mayor Havemeyer; one OF these
memorials rehearoes in very compact form
the conviction Of Police Commissioners Char
lick and Gardner, and urges that their reap
pointlnent by the Mayor justites his removal
by the Governor.
The other memorial recites the report of
the Assembly Committee on the abuses in the
Street Cleaning Bureau, the evidence of If
regularities on election day taken in the Su-
preme Court before Judge Donohue, recalls
the demand twice made by the Board of Al
dermen for the reorganization Of the Police
Board, and the Mayors promised investiga-
ton, and finally refers to the conviction and
reappointment Of the Police Commissioners
At late hour last night it was officially an
nounced that Police Commissioners Oliver
Charlick and Hugh Gardner had resigned, and
that Geo. H. Mattel, the present Superin-
tendent Of Police, and Jno. r. Voorhees, had
been appointed to fill the vacancies.
The appointment of Mattel will, of course,
render the appointment of new Superintend-
eut of Police necessary.
A delegation representing the Tammanv
Hall Council of Political Reform, composed of
eminent lawyers and private citizens, called
upon Gov. Dix to-day at his residence on
Long Island, and preferred charges against
Mayor Havemeyer Of northumberland, and
submitted documents in support Of the
charges The Governor took the papers,
promising he would give the matter his i'm
mediate attention, and assuring the delega-
ton that they might rely upon prompt
action.
He stated that the law required him to fur
nish the Mayor with copies Of the charges,
after which the latter mnst put il his answer
and an opportunity viii be given him to be
heard in his own defense. The delegation re-
quested the Governor to suspend the Mayor
from his Office pending the investigation, but
received reply that be would act with prompt
nese and efficiency

An Editor who ia Deaf.

/ We thought everybody in the State knew
that we are deaf, but once in while we find
one who is not aware of the fact. A female book
peddler came to the office the other day, She
wished to dispose of book. She was alone in
this world and had no one to whom she 'could
turn for sympathy or assistance; hence we
should buy her book. She was..unmarried. ssand
had no manly heart into which she could pour
her suferings therefore we ought to invest in
her book. She had received a liberal education.

broke jn with WHAT did you say! we're
deaf!'n She started in loud voice and went
through her rigmarole. When she hadstnished,
we went and got roll OF paper and made it in
to speaking-trlmpet, placed one endlto our
ear, and told her to proceed. She nearly broke
q blood-vessel in her effort to make herself
heard. She commenced: II am alone in this
world''-.'It doesn't make the slightest differ
ence to us. We are husband and father. Big

eligible to proposals." "Oh, what fool tho
man is - she said ina low tone; then at the
top Of her voice, II don't want to marry YOU,
l want to sell b-o-o-k!'' This last sentence
was howled. ''We don't want cook ''nnwe re-
marked blandly; ''our wife does the cooking,
and she wouldn't allow as good-looking a. wo-
man as you to stay in the house five minutes.
She is very jealous.' She looked at us in de-

A DOG CHARMED BY A SNAKE.-The At
lanta San is responsible for the following:
Several days ago a gentleman in this city
went out into the country fowling. taking with
him an experienced pointer. After hunting
some time he observed the dog come to a sud
den stop, and supposing the dog had stood
a bird, advanced to shoot it. But coming near
Ell he noticed that the animal was foaning at
the mouth, as if suffering from an attack Of n.y.
drophobia. Under closer observation he dis
covered that the dog was the victim of all enor-
NOUS snake, which was charming it and steadi-
ly advancing upon its prey. The dog stood i'm
movable, perfectly transixed. The gentleman
spoke to it, but it gave no heed, so completely
was it under the influence of the dread charm
err. Seeing that the dog was in the most excru-
ciating pain the gentleman raised the gun and
shot the snake dead. Instantly, and simulta-
neous with the shot and the death of the snake.
the dog fell down perfectly helpless, and to all
appearance dead. 1t revived after some little
time but had it not been for some timely as
sstance from the master it is believed that the
poor animal would have expired with the vicious
reptile of whose charm it was the victim. The
snake in question was a blue racer, about foul
or five feet long, and was killed near Oglethorpe
Park

! The pranks of a lady-at least in appearance

little job'' at Warrensburg, as related to a Dis
patch reporter:
She visited the town. fin the capacity Of a book
agent, to impress upon the incredulous the adj

'most interesting and instructive work ever
published Arriving i'll town at noon, she
| Immediately went to a hotel, which shall be
nameless, and registered. She was shown
| to a room and made her toilette. The next
step was to ring a bell which ushered boy in
her presence, to whom she communicated the
fact that she desired to see the landlord. The
message was delivered to the landlord. and in
| the course of a few minutes he met her face i'll
her room. AS he entered the room she quietly
locked the door, and putting the key in her
pocket, said:
s'Now, Mr.. --, I wish to have few mo-

''Well, ma 'am,'' replied the landlord, ''what
you have to say, say it quickly, for L am in u

'sYou have children, two of whom are near

.'Well, then, said the hook agent ''if you

| The landlord was bewildered, and being a
mild-mannered man protested only in woll-
rounded phrases. This but made mattersworse,
and desiring to avoid a disagreeabe reflection

her fifty dollars, which he did, and ON the even.

said, she played the same game.
