THE INDEPENDENT" MOVEMENT NAMES MEN

NATIONS.
1t is generally known in political circles that
all effort has been made to develop an Indepen-
dent candidate for Mayor. meeting for con-
sultation on the subject was called at an Sth
street law office, on Tuesday evening, but num-
ber of those invited declined to attend, and it is
the impression that tho meeting proved failure
Who are active in the proposed movement, be-
yond the Eoery Eoenin9 people, IS not known,
and all the prominent Republicans OF the
city, without a single exception, so far as we
know, entirely dsavow any connection with the
effort feeling assured that it would fail entirely
to draw any strength from the Democrats, while
it might, and probably would. deplete Mr. Val
entines vote enough to let Whlteey in. Many
Republicans say this IL Euery EUenings object
al that paper is very intimate with tho Demo-
cratic city politicians and has . so boon extreme
ly friendly with Mayor Simms and his po.
lice. The former, it is stated, presented a gold
watch to one Of EUery Ecening's editors, in con-
sideration of fayors done him 1t is supposed.
1t is certain that some Republicans say they
will not vote for Mr.. Valentine, but there are
but few of these as far as il known, while it ID
believed much larger number of Democrats,
dsgusted with the recent quarrel over the nom
ination, and especially with the alleged bad
treatment Of ONeill, will stay away from the
polls. Some of these might make a following
for an Independent candidate, but no Democrat
is publicly named in connection with that .'hon-
or" the design seeming to be only to catch Re-
publican votes.
Heavy pressure has been brought on Esq
O'Nell to bring him into line with his party, and
the City Authorship, next year, has been Of
fered to him, it is said to purchase his earnest
efforts for Whitley. The ONeill men feel that
they had no show, at all, during the contest,
that the party managers ''set up" things against
them, and that their choice was prescribed on
account Of his religious faith.
Candidates for Council are being named.
The Democrats propose J. Morton Poole in the
1st Ward, to run against Edw. I. Bellah,
who is strongly urged by Republicans. 1t
is doubtful whether Mr.. Poole would accept.
John w. Hawkins is named in the Seventh
Ward 1t is understood John V. Rice declines in
the Sixth Ward.

Reducing the Basin Force.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN TO BE LAID OFF
THE WORK PROGRESSING TO NARROW LIMITS.
Chief Engineer Hyde has reached that
stage of progress with the new basin which will
enable him to dispen 30 with a portion of the
force there employed, in accordance with hisex-
pectations about two weeks since. 1t was his
purpose, last night to lay Off about one hundred
and fifty men, but, we understand,
he failed to get the approval of the
Water Committee through the lack Of quo
rum, at the meeting which was called,
and the full complement OF laborers are at work
this morning. The effort to get the committee
together will be renewed to-day, and this or to-
morrow evenings it is probable the reduction
will be made. As at present constituted, three
men are allowed to each cart, but the mar
rowing down of the limits of work
on the excavation of the basin
crowds together the force in such manner that
they are in each others way. Mr.. Hyde proposes
to dispense with one man to each cart, or about
one hundred and fifty in all. At some future
time the number of laborers may be increased,
but at no time to Its present size.

Railroad Arrangement TOR the Cen
lenniaI,

Railroad Arrange ement tor the Gem
tenniaI.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have
completed plan for the arrangement of their
tracks at the Centennial grounds. Three tracks
will be laid aronnd circle, and this will be used
respectively for arriving and departing trains
from New York, Baltimore and Washington.
Tho trains from Jersey City will be run directly
to the Centennial grounds. They will reach
them on the north track, and then switch into
the yard. In case of three trains arriving at
once, they will run from the main
track and be switched, ono upon each
of three tracks composing one circle,
the trains stopping upon the Belmont avenue
side in such way AZ not to overlap each other.
Trains which do not depart Immediately after
their arrival will go around the circle and be
backed upon some of the IA sidings which Will
be built Just north of the main tracks. There
will be over seven miles of tracks in this yard.
Regarding the number of passengers for whose
transportation provision must be made, there
can be only conjecture Tho Centennial Com
missioners have named 5000 daily from the New
York division of tie road. 1t is calculated that
a train can be unloaded at this yard every three
minutes Trains of 15 to 90 cars can be run with
one engine on the New York division; OF about
~ cars on the Western division, and probably
from 20 to 20 cars from the South.

STARTLING THEORY OF -sAID TO HAVE BEEN COM

A correspondent of the Baltimore american,
writing from st. Michael's, Talbot
county, Md, gives a theory Of the muir
der of j. I. Ford, recently perpetrated
in that place, which is somewhat
startling. Ten years ago robbery WAS commit
ted there, and Mr.. Ford, the victim of the late
murder, and two boys found out the criminals
These three persons were taken to the woods
and made to take solemn oath that they would
not disclose what they knew. A few
months ago the secret leaked out, and
an exposure of the whole affair was imminent.
One OF the witnesses was found in the water at
the wharf not long afterwards. and there WAS
strong indications of foul play. Mr.. Ford, the
second one, was Drained with an axe some ten
days since. The third one is still living, but he
apprehends assassination.
