GENERAL TONE OF BUSINESS.
New YORK, Nov. 90.
The general tone of business, as reported
from we'll advises authority on mercan-
tile credits, though quiet, Is by no means
discouraging. There is steady, though
Lot active demand for leading staples and
payments from the country continue In the
main satisfactory. There are notably few
failures considering the pressure of the
times and the season of the year.
THE JAMAICA HURRICANE.
Further reports of the recent hurricane
in Jamaica show that the desolation of the
island was terrible, and that starvation
threatens the people. Here is n proper
field for American generosity.
ARMY CLOTHING FOR GRAssrorpRR SUI
FERERs.
A Washington dispatch says the secre-
tary of war has authorized General Ord to
issue army clothing to needy sufferers in
the grasshopper district, and directed him
to report by telegraph when ii will be the
most needed, This welcome order will go
far TO relieve the wants of the men, but the
women and children will still have to tc
furnished by private contributions.
MR. CoRCoRAN's GENEROUS GIFT
of $500, 900 to Columbia college in Wash.
ington City is in danger of being lost from
failure OF compliance with its conditions,
that the friends of the college should Sc
cure 800, 900 more. Only $40, 900 has as
yet been secured, and great efforts are maxi
ing to raise the 100000 required by Janu-
AIRY I. 1879.
THE PROPOSED EPISCOPAL CHURCH
has received an important accession. Rev.
DR.. Nicholson, rector of the Trinity
church, the oldest and wealthiest of Epis-
copal churches in Newark, announces his
adhesion to the new movement. He has
been long regarded as a leader in Low
church views in New Jersey, and was noted
for his opposition to ritualstic practices.
The field of his new labors will lie in
Philadelphia.
CONNECTICUT INSURANCE INvEs1IGATIoN.
Investigation into the affairs of the
| American Nation Life and Trust company
of New Haven has created considerable
sensation in insurance circles. The inNcs-
tigation has been instituted by the insur-
Charges of fraud and acknowledgement and
lack of funds have been brought against
the company and the commissioner has
determined upon a thorough investigation
At the Office of the New York agent, ir
Broadway, general denial of the charge:
is made. 1t is claimed that the inyestga
tion was instigated by personal malice
and that the charges are unfounded, an(
will be shown up during the investigation
The company had, over and above all Tia
bilities, $4,000.
SOME ADDITIONAL FAILURES
in general trade are reported to-day. Ru
mors were current that an Israelltlsh firm
in Church street were in trouble, but the.
proved to be unfounded. Out of the tota
number of failures this year in dry good
and the line of dry goods more than one
half are Of the Hebrew race. 1t does no
necessarily follow that these parties ar
taking advantage of the hard times to et
feet compromise, but it does show tina
this class of traders have lost money, an
their names figure conspicuously in the lis
Of unfOrtunates.
MP. BEECHER's COUNSEL
have decided to appeal from the decision
of the general term of the Brooklyn Cit.
Court denying the application for palticu
lars of what Mr.. Tilton means TO prove
This will delay the trial of the civil sui
against Beecher for some months at least
Meantime Moulton's suit may come up, bu
the disposition TO pettifog that, too, wi
doubtless soon betray itself. Both parte
to these actions appear to think that ther
is virtue in delay, and to hope that tim
may heal even these sores and hush thes
loud scandals.
THE COLOSSEUM EXHIBITION
here collapsed last Saturday, and it is re
ported that the building has been attache
by the owners of the land on a suit to rt
cover large amount due for ground rem
MISS ADELAIDE PHILLIPS,
it is understood, proposes to retire froi
, the operate stage on the conclusion of he
engagement of the present season.
IITUALIsM
makes It's appearance as disturbing el,
ment in new quarter. AT the coIferent
OF the Reformed German and Reforme
Dutch churches in Philadelphia, the PR
ject of union between these sects, whic
has hitherto been very favorably ente
tanned, is more imperilled by the rumor {
/ ritualistic practices than by differences
F doctrine. The German brethren are Hig
Church ard the Dutch Low. There i
: however, a tendency to make concession
, on both sides, which encourages a hope
/ union.
PACIFIC FREIGHT ARRANGEMENT.
, At last there seems to be some prospe,
, of combination of interests between Il
Pacific railroads and the Pacific Ma
steamship company. Tuesday night Messr
Huntington, Dillon and Sage met at ii
Windsor. and the result was that the p
cilic Mail folks will be apt to talk bushes
after meeting their board are to hay
to-day on basis OF compromis
In case the basis is carried out, Car
tain Bradbury's visit to Europe for vesse
terminates, and no new line will be startc
on the Pacific. The Central Pacific raj
, road company will erect dock accommod
tons for the Peking and Toxic, and Il
freight for tea from Hong Kong to Ne
York is to be four cents per pound-tl
) Pacific railroads and the roads from Omal
to New York to get the two cents, the r.
, citlc Mail one and three-fourths cents, an
the Panama railroad one-fourth cent p,
pound. This basis contemplates the carr
ing of all teas all rail from San FrancisC
and the Panama railroad to be paid on
, fourth cent per pound whether they do ar
work in the premises or not. There will
several more meetings before anything wi
