Boss met Gen. S. il the ante-room OF
the Board Of Aldermen, who have the
power to confirm or reject the Mayors
appointment, and taking out his watch
said, Il will give you just twenty min

course, Slocum refused to withdraw his
name, and of course it was rejected, and
a tool of the ring sent in in its place.
Mclaughlin made a spf ech in answer
TO Gen. Slocum, the other night, in
which he complained bitterly Of his

Slocum was candidate for Congress,

DEATH AND THE DEMI-MONDE.
That irregular living can only end
badly was again illustrated in this city
this week. Charles Revere, a wealthy
meat dealer has been in love for years
with a woman OF no character, named
Anna Styles. He was absolutely infat-
uated with her, and spent vast sums
of money upon her The path he took
was a very straight and not a very long
one Drink followed his other passion,
then neglect of business, until about a
year ago his mistress, after the fashion
of her kind, dropped him. He had but
little more money to spend upon her and
his further intimacy didn't pay" The
poor lunatic followed her about all this
time, and occasionally 'just for the fun
of it, " she would tolerate him for day
or two. Last Thursday he saw her at
the Jerome Park races and Joined her.
In company with another man and wo-
man of the same class they returned
to the city and spent the night in the
widest excesses, getting to her house
in the morning at five o'clock. Then
Revere begged her to become reconcil-
ed to him, to again live with him,
which she very cGnIemptuously refused
to do. Maddened by her heartlessness,
he threw what valuables he had about
him upon the floor, struck her with the
butt of his revolver, and finished his
work by shooting himself through the
head. 1t is the old, old story. Revere
bought this woman house, which he
furnished in magnificent style-he sup
ported her like a princess-eXpendiDg
upon her in two years not less than
$50, 900. Had he had $50, 900 more to
spend that she could have got hold of
she would have held to him; but the mo-
ment the supply of cash run short, the
fountain of her love dried up, and then
death. His death affected her no more
than if her parrot had Cied-indeed, her
bearing at the inquest was such as to
show that she felt it was a relief. She
will have another rich lover in a month,
and they will make merry over the death
of Revere, till his time comes. at is

BUSINESS
Has been little more brisk this week
than last, though it is still bad. Fail
ures are as common as blackberries.
There is the regular list every morning
of lame ducks, and nobody knows who
is safe. "Who nextp' is the question
most frequently asked. Well, there
must come an end some time. Possibly,
after the elections are all over and the
people get down to living again. there
will be a revival of trade and the wheels
will get in motion again. Let us hope
so. PIETRo.
