pprp.R1NG 10 WELCOME THE EA-' BOSS :
mack TO LUpLow-STREET JAIL.
sheriff Conner, OF New York, has received
. roh,r message saving that the British con-
",,( ot Vico has identified the prisoners held
.ha~r hv the Spanish authorities as Tweed
anj William Hunt King. Kin. held office
nndcr Tweed in the Department OF Public
works, His father. one Of the tax COM
-,,,;ssinncrs in 1869, married Tweed's sis
.nr King disappeared from New York
aho,,t the time OF Tweed's flight.
Shcr;N Conner saws that this ends
III doubt concerning Tweed's arrest,
and that he expects to have him back in
Iudlow-S!rret Jail within four or five weeks.
H. thinks the state Department has already
1rranrcd Tor Twrcd'S delivery to the United
-.o,aS authorities. and that no trouble will
ha rypcricnccd III getting him back here.
H. ! 10 he sent 10 Havana, and there de-
Iiy,r,d 10 the American consul, who will ut
nYcr impriSon him in United States vessel
and >cnd him 10 this city. On Tweed's az
riyl} here the sheriff will arrest him on the
,,rtricd forgery indictment pending against
MIN and take him before the supreme
,,u}r. and that tribunal will remand him
:, ,3r shcritE~S custody on the civil process.
NE sheriff will then be empowered to keep
iSia IN the county Jail in default OF $1,000
0oo bail.
The sheriff has not yet learned how the
spanish authorities got on Twccd'S track.
There are two theories. One is that friend
Of his. who knew where he was hiding, dis
closed the fact to Governor Tilden. and that
the latter asked the State Department to ne
..otiac for the surrender. The Other theory.
and the one most probable, is that Tweed
was recognized in Cuba through photo
graphs. and that the Spanish police, tempted
hv the reward OF $4,000, negotiated with
the American consul in Havana for his sur
render. Tweed tried TO escape, and the
only chance he had was to sail in the Span
ish bark Carmen for Vigo. He is confined
in the fortress Oh m island in Vigo harbor.-

To the Public.

Yesterday was discharged from the po-
lice force upon charge affecting my per-
sonal honor. I ask leave to put the facts
before the public, that they may Judge as to
whether am guilty. do not blame the
Board OF Police Commissioners for their de-
cision. The only witnesses before them
were myself and the lady involved in the
affair, and as they are obliged to be strict
with their policemen they gave credit to her
version OF the affair and punished me.
Moreover, since my discharge facts have
come to my knowledge which believe had
they been before the Board they would have
acquitted me. I was charged with insulting
a lady. Her testimony before the Board was
that she had had an accident in rolling a
child in its carriage; that came up to
where she was and inquired what was the
matter; that on her replying and thanking
me, that I touched my hat, and passed On
rapidly and went across the street to light
lamp; that on nay returning to light lamp
on the side that had previously met her l
again passed her on the crossing with these
words, sIwill see you again, and have talk
with you." She admitted that was still
walking rapidly, and that touched my hat
politely. Ny version does not differ from
hers except rs to the last remark. That j
positively deny making. ] was, as she adj
mitted herself, walking rapidly, attending
to my duties. When passed her the se-
cond time touched my hat politely, and
only said, 81 see you again" now ask,
Is it probable that a policeman, knowing
the responsibilities OF my position, would
insult on the public streets handsomely
dressed lady with child in her charger
could see from her appearance that she was
a lady. And, again, why did l treat her 80
politely, as she admits that I did2 And
then, when did, as she says, insult her,

clan residing in HOLLYWOOD, Jewell county,
Kansas, which says: s' The bones OF a mann
moth have been discovered in ravine about
six miles from here, It's tusks, which were
the only portions that were above the sur
face, must have been sixteen feet long when
the huge creature was alive. One OF them
is, even now, after the lapse OF so many
wears, nine feet long. 1t is six inches
through at the end, and with the same taper
it would certainly make seven feet more.
This would be terrible horn for fighting.
The bones make the mammoth twenty-five
feet long and fifteen feet high. OF course
when the skeleton was clothed with flesh
the size would be much larger. Between
the eyes the distance is twenty inches.
There were four feet OF solid bone
from the top. of the head to the lower
end Of the Jaws. The teeth are four inches
broad and nine inches long. The shoulder
blade is three feet four inches long and two
feet wide. The thigh-bone is four feet six
inches long, and the socket Joint OF the
fore-leg is fifteen and one half inches in
diameter. Its neck was very short In pro-
portion to the body. The bones weigh

RosH HAsHANAH-THE JEWISH New YEAR
This evening at sunset the Hebrew festival
of Rosl Hashanah, or beginning OF the new
year, 5637, according to Hebrew chronolo-
gy, will begin, and appropriate ceremonies
will be held in the synagogue in this city.
The holiday will be observed by an entire
cessation OF business pursuits and strict
attendance upon the services of the syna-
gosue. In the evening and on the
following day the Shoier or comet
will be sounded in the synagogue
to proclaim 4 solemn assembly to the
Lord and to call the people to solemn re-
pentancc and examination OF themselves in
view of the Day of Atonement that is to fol-
low. Two days are generally observed by
the Orthodox Hebrews to commemorate
this event. The first day, originally in-
stituted as day of alarm and remembrance,
has been gradually invested with the char
acter of the beginning OF the new year. The
authority for commemorating this day and
occasion is found in Levitt. XXxiii., oath,
and other scattered passages of Scripture.
