a Chinaman named Ah-FOok visited
the Office of the Coroner yesterday and
detailed the circumstances OF cold
blooded murder OF one of his country
women on Wednesday night last in
Chinese house of ill-fame On Washing
ton alley, near Washington street. He
stated that he was in the room adJoin-
ing that in which the affair occurred.
He heard Ah-Sin, the prQprietress OF
the house, demanding some mony from
Pat Choy, Chinese girl residing in the
house. Choy asserted that she did not
have the money, and Ah.Sin told her If
she did not give her the money she
would give her dose of opium. Choy
insisted that she did not have the
money, whereupon Ah-Sis dispatched
Chinaman, Chin-Luck, 10 the drug
store on the corner of Dupont and Clay
streets for a glass syringe. Sin then
dissolved quantity of opium IN tea
cup and forced it down the mouth OF
the girl with the syringe. The girl
died that night and was buried on
Thursday, il having been reported
around the neighborhood by Sin and
her companions that the girl had com
mitted suicide by swallowing opium.
Last night Officer E. Ward arrested
Ah-Sin and her male companion, to-
gether with h-Yet, Celestial person
age who acts in the capacity OF Chinese
undertaken to a certain extent. The
latter conveyed the body OF the
murdered woman to o charnel house on
Ross alley, where he kept it until the
undertakers buried 1t. They are

NARROW GAUGE RAILROADS. 1T is be-
coming clear that marrow guage rail-
roads are going to be important factors
in the future development of new coun-
tries. 1t is said by expers judges of
the ratio of expense ~ transportation,
that road of three feet gauge can
carry five tons OF paying freight on each
car as cheaply as the ordinary gauge
road can carry the cars empty. In the
case of the Grand Rapids, Greenville
and Alpena railroad, OF Michigan, it is
shown that whereas the $50 miles of
road would cost, if built ON the four
foot eight and one half inch guage, S.
S47, 344, on the plan of the three foot
gauge it would cost only 50, 595, 532-a
saving approximating to forty per cent.

Do Docs PERsPIRE PIT is frequently
urged as an argument against the ordi-
nary method of muzzling dogs, that it
closes the mouth, and thereby prevents
perspiration, which, in the dog, is said
to take place only through the mouth.
This, according to Land and Water,
is an error; perspiration going on
through the skin as in other animals.
The idea of respiratory glands in the
tongue is characterized as absurd, these
organs being only found in the dogs
skin, which is abundantly suppl d with
them. The real cruelty of the close or
strap muzzle is, that it hinders free
respiration, rather Than free perspira-
ton.

The President added that he had never

element was the result of an idle or malicious
newspaper sensation, and was ridiculous
nonsense.

Throughout yesterday neavy rains fell IN that

added to the surprise and discontinue OF the peo-

influence OF Coggia's comet. AT Tarrytown and
other places along the river bank the cellars were
inundated last evening, Occasioning considerable
damage to personal property. On the HUDSON
