ANXIETY OF BROOKLYN DEMOCRATS

The election in Kings County passed OIL
quietly compared with former elections. There were
few disturbances but Of Importance. Early In the
morning serious controversy between the Democratic
Ring managers was threatened. 1t appears that the
Printing Committee Of the Democratic General Com
mttee ordered The Brooklyn Eagle job Office to print all
the tickets which were be distributed throughout
the various wards and county towns. About $4,000
of the tickets ordered were printed and dis
trbuted Early yesterday morning one OF MeLaughn's
adbereuts came to him with bundle of State tickets
each of which was headed Samuel j. Tlden." There
was nothing on the ticket stating what office Mr Tden
was running for. the line For Governor having been
cut off, Mr.. Mclaughlin was very indignant. He be-
came more so other messengers came in with de-
fective tickets He sent for Messrs. Kinsca and VIM.
c. Kingsley OF The Eagle, but neither gentleman could
be found. Then Mclaughlin became very angry. He
said that The Eagle people couldn't make MIN
believe that the mistake was the result OF
carelessness; on the contrary he inclined to the
he,,ef that what had been done was intentionally.

Last evening the girl and her mother were sent for by Mrs. Bradley, and we went to that lady's residence to see her go through some of her manipulations. Of course the girl was in great distress. Her mother had told her she must confess everything. and there were several par ties present to witness her revelations. The stand was brought out, the girl placed her hands on it, and Mrs. Bradley placed her hands over the girls holding them fast. In this position the stand was moved by the girl readily and easily over the carpet to the piano Then the girl lifted her foot, and with the toe of her slipper ran lightly or otherwise over the keys. Stooping down she took the tea bell between her teeth, lifted it and rang it, and put it against Mrs. Bradley's face. Then she stopped down again, and with her forehead touched the knob of the tea bell, and showed how she rang that. Then she moved the stand into the bed room to the head of the bed, stopped down, took the edge of the pillow-slip be- tween her teeth and threw the pillow on the table, and then on the bed. Then she put out her foot, seized the leg of the bed and pulled it out into the room. When asked how she did it before without any apparent effort, she said she had prepared the castors beforehand, so that the bed moved very easily. Mrs. Bradley then sat down in her rocking chair and the girl went through the head-dressing scene. She says she used one hand only in dress ing Mrs. Bradley's hair, and worked with the other, but Mrs. Bradley is quite posi- tive both the girls hands were on her It may be the girl laid her face on one side of Mrs. Bradley while operating, yet she denies it. She also denies having anything to do with the crash on the piano when she was on the opposite side of the room and out of it's reach. Mrs. B. F. Fuller, who was holding her hand at the tune, and who was present last evening, says she is satisfied, and always has been, that the girl knew all about it. She has always believed her an impostor. Mrs. Fuller is a sister-in-law of Mrs. Bradley. To test the power of the girl we placed our hands upon hers, and she moved the stand. As we said, the girl was in great distress and excited. When she twisted the stand we felt a movement of the muscles of her hands, but when she drew it along steadily not a move ment or tremor was to be detected. She also favored us with 8 specimen of her writing, which corresponded with the notes purporting to be from the spirit of MT. Bradley

Call the present law what one will, it yet is the law we have, and poor law is better than anarchy. But in truth-and I repeat it with emphasis-the present law is no more a license law than it is law of prohibition. It IS one thing or the other precisely as the people make it, a feature that should render it acceptable under democracy. If the people do no- thing, it will prohibit. Not all the third party men in the state can rub this seal of the bond; nevertheless it is a view they generally ignore. c. G00ley.

building of this canal and harbor.

have never been so much impressed with the vast resources of human skill and the indomitable enterprise of people, as on this occasion. when I visited all these works with the Engineers and Directors of tine company. We first inspected the dam which holds back all the waters of the Zuyder Zee. Here were steam pumps which raise 74, 600 cubic feet of water per minute from the into the Zuyder Zee
 We next went in Q steamer through this magnificent canal, 300 feet wide, and the immense sea gates to the harbor, and then along the lofty piers to their extremity, where the whole force of the ocean was roaring and fretting against their massive walls. Here we could stand and see the whole of this grandest piece of masonry in the world, enclosing an area of 25O acres. We passed on the canal thousands of acres of land which was few months before covered with tidewater, where now crops are gowing, and by the immense manufac- tories of concrete. As viewed it all I was filled with amazement at the daring which could undertake, and with admira- tion at the skill which could accomplish, such a marvellous work as this. If the Dutch succeed in making their harbor to stand, they will have become benefactors to the whole civilized world. They will have demonstrated the practicability of building artificial harbors. This. experi- ment will be of vast importance to the United States, with it's 15, 900 miles of sea coast Such are some of the great works of the Dutch people. They have to con- tend with the whole power of the ocean. They are constantly draining portions of it. Nearly one half of Holland has thus been reclaimed from the sea. The Har- lem Lake in 1849 covered an area thirty three miles in circumference In four years they pumped the lake dry, and it is now richly cultivated farms. In view of what has been said we wish to propose one problem; If the little kingdom of Netherlands can in ten years build the North Sea Canal, to save the commerce of Amsterdam. how long shall it take the United States to build the canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, to con- trol the commerce of the world?

Says the Independent: It is whispered loud enough so that all the birds can hear it that our great Protestant apostle of celibacy is to be-married! The priest who has written "beautiful'' books, prov ing how much better it is to be ''single for the kingdom of heavens sake'' than to be married in the Lord, ," the ''Catholic" father confessor of the celibacy Sisters of St. Nary is about to take to himself a wife, and that, too, Presbyterian girl. not twenty years old! What wonder that in Episcopal circles within sight of Trin. lty the squibs are flying thick and fast.

York city, 4 correspondent Of the (ncin-
matt Gazette SAYS The fees have kept
proportion with the increase in the value
OF Great estates. Twenty-Five wears ago,
| was told by an emincn, lawyer, that the
heaviest Judgment ever recorded in this
State was 100000 Since then, however,
several judgments have been entered for
s. 900, 900, and even double that sum has
been reached. jay Gould indeed, was
prosecuted BY the Lrie Railway Company
lorSl0 ,0OO 900 OF embezHlcments, of which
he returned a large part. The Rosewill
case involved Il million, and was hot V
contested The Arson g. Phelps estat
was worth halt that sum, and the will wa>
broken The Parish case, in which the
will was also broken, was at least - ,000,-
GOO The Roosevelt estate was OF equal
value and the will (Which devised 4
hospital) was set aside by means of a
compromise Even the John Jacob Asto1
will, though drawn by Daniel Lord, the
ablest lawyer Of his day, had a weak point
which would nave led TO 4 lawsuit had
not William b. Astor made a compromise
with the Langdons. 1t is still fresh in
memory in the litigation concerning
Horace Greeley's will, the estate having
been large enough (Sl50,0O0) to bear
some expense The Rollwagen case has
lust gone through the courts, and the will,
which devised 500 900, has been set aside
At present the Norseworthy estate is before
the courts. The former owner OF this
property died thirty-iivc years ago. but
the provisions Of his will are not yet fully
carried out, and perhaps the law Will
make some difference in the disposition of
the estate. 1t is the oldest unsettled
estate in the city, and is now estimated ut
81 800 600.
The most protracted suit ever known in
New York, and one which must have been
tedious to all but the lawyers engaged in
it. was settled last ycar This was the
action brought by the Delaware and
Hudson Canal Company against the
Pennsylvania Coal Company for breach OF
contract. The breach resulted from a
misconstruction OF important features in
an elaborate agreement, concerning the
use Of q canal for coal transportation. IL
may seem strange that treaty carefully
| negotiated between educated business
men, assisted by tirst-cass legal talent,
should not be of definite character. In
this case. however. the misunderstanding,

costs amounting to about $300,Ooo.
