UNITED srArEs snIrs ny AUCTION.
A steam Frigatc TINT Cost n Million Sold for
Twenty thousand Dollars.

Tho United states steam fricnte Della
ware was sold by auction yesterday by order of
the Secre tary OF the Navy. Mr.. John N. Draper
was the au,'toneor. He conducted the sale In
front OF the Lyceum In the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, In the presence Of about twenty persODs
only four Of WHOM made bids. MIR. Draper an
nounced thnt the Government reserved the
right to confirm the sqle, and to reject any bid
or ofrer that might be considered inadequate.
Ten thousand dollars was first bid for the vcs-
sci, and from that the price roee to s2o3OO, which
was offered by Capt David Duh.er. The vessel
was sold to him. Capt. Buher was formerly pro-
prietor Of the Mansion House in Brooklyn. He
Acknowledged that the ship had been stripped
OF her topmasts and yards, decks, and itgging'
nnd that hcr bare hull and portion OF her ma
chincry were all that remained.
The Delaware cost the country $lOOOn. She
ls described a. a rotten dism ntled hnlk. She
was one OF four steam frigates that were con-
tractcd Tor by Secretary Welles OF the Navy De-
rartnent In the war, They were all constrnctod
OF white oak and their careers In the United
states navy are said TO have been short and in
glorious.
The Delaware measures c.lO0 tons. and was
built at the Portsmouth Nav Yard. she was
launched in 1867, under the name Of the Piscnta-
qua, which was afterward changed by Admiral
Porter to the Delaware. She was commissioned
In January, 1886, and Joined the Astatic squad
ron as the flagship OF Admiral Rowan ON her
return, in 1871. she proved unscaworhy, and was
In danger Of suking. She lay iule at the navy
ward for year. ana In 1877 she was chartered 10y
as a receiving shin n; quarantine forssome time.
she was returned TO the navy rd In 1873. and
has been routing there ever since. being re1ardcd
a. model OF usel.ssness and extravigance
The trigatcs -. Lawrence, l.il5 tons, ana the
Macedonian, l,li0 tons, are to be sold next week.
The latter was taken from the British 10 lsl2 by
the American frig te United States. In 1877 she
was sent TO Ireland with food for the starving.
Within the last few years she has been used rs
a prac ice ship for naval cadets.
The st. Lawrence was built In lS41, and has
sailed oil around the globe. In tho early part Of
the war she employed to blockade Charles
ton, and while on this service she captured the
contraband steamer Herald. She was stationed
IN Hampton Roads during the fight between the
Monitor and the Merrimac. OF late she has
been used as an ordn nee ship at Norfolk.

THE RATLRoAD FREIGHr WAR.


The President, W. B. Strong Superin-
tendcnt. and Mosars. James +. JOY. Of the Mich
iean Central; Addison Hills, general freight
agent Of the Lake Shore and Michigan South
crn. and Mr. McCuilogh, Of the Fort Wayne
II ilro4d, met yesterday in the IT. Nicholas uo-
tel primarily to settle the accounts OF the
" pool Into which the Sc roads have been putting
their earnings for some time past. The recent
reduction OF rates on Western bound freight was
discussed. Mr.. l.. Mcllis, Of the Vermont Cen
trail, was at the St. Nicholas yesterday, but he
tool, no part IN the conference. He denied that
he tad C. He'd upon Commodore Vanderbilt
with Mr. Jay and tried to effect "A compromise.
we c n stand low rates "a long as your New
York roads can, and that what told Nuttcr
ana some others who came to Montreal about
this matter. We are In II good position. We
have eVerythins to gain, ana nothing TO lose !
York O4ds, aud we will do it," lie added that
he would accept the New York schedule out OF
Boston N his road could he allowed to carry
freight at ten cents per 100 pounds less on first
class down TO four cents less on special Mr..
Aeilis continued:
I'VE confess that we can't put freight
through as fast as the other roads do, and we
have to protect ourselves. If there Ia not a
compromise you may depend upon II this rail
road war Is only beginning. We have offered
ule, provided the 10 TO I cent allowance is
made"
In Conclusion. Mr.. Melis said he did not know W
whether the New York roaes would try to
freeze out " his line or not. IL they did, that
was game at which two could play, ana the
hght would severely test the endurance of the
corporations engaged.
A formal meeting Of the representatives Of all
the gre Z lines to consider the position of the
Vermont Central and Grand lrunk roads Is to be
held tins week. In the mean time no long con
tracts at the reduced rates are being made by
any OF the lines, as a speedy compromise Is an
tIflnltgg.

was not his intention 10 throw aside the legacies
to the many children of Singer. Mrs. Foster
when IS years old, attracted Ivy Singers press
encc, followed him from Baltimore to this city
on his promise TO marry her. lie had proiessed
to bo single man. lie was too poor then TO ob.
tain divorce from his first vito and she lived
with him until he became rich. Then his ple
sioDs were given full sway, and to such an ex-
tent th | he rode through the streets in almost
a chariot OF gold" and picked up and put
down his mistresses on the street corners.
Singers behavior toward Mrs. Foster said
Mr. Van Pelt, was that OF husband. Ihs
names OF their children were altern itely chosen
from those of his ana her relations, and the
m cen years fOrbcarance Of poyert, and abuse
with Mr. Singer should entltle hor to some re-
sIect and share ia this vast estate.
The speech was not concluded yesterday.
