Further details in our London letter add to
the evidence of the Slow brooding, diabOlcal
malice with which Thomassen for years per
fected his plot for destroying steamships. Ii
seems scarcely credible that our age should
have produced more than one such monster;
but the facts given concerning somewhat sim
liar attempts to blow up South American
steamers, show that only fortunate exposure
checked the operations OF gang of sucli cold
blooded wretches two years ago.

A lively sketch of the labors of the Canal
Investigating Commission is given in letter
from Albany. 1t is rarely that legislative
committee actually obtains the return of stolen
money as this did, in addition to paving the
way for further recOveries and for the punish
ment of the guilty. Though due regard was
paid to their rights, suspected witnesses were
handled without gloves, and the scenes of
their examination had frequently an almost
dramatic intensity. Such work, compared with

A bill is IN the New York legislature pro-
yiding that no fare shall be collected from
street car passengers who have no seats.
such law would hardly bring about the re-
form desired, since thousands OF persons
would prefer 10 stand rather than wait for
the next car, and would pay their fare the
same as those provided with seats. Refer
ring 10 the remarks OF THE STAR on this
subject, tee Baltimore SIN Of to-day thinks

A GREATLY Mixed HOSTILE MEETrNd.-
At two O'clock Sunday morning Ofhcer
Heunessy became aware that consider
able row was progressing in Q dance house
at thu corner of Girod and Commerce
streets. He, being unwilling to enter tne
Mace alone, called for assistance. Officers
Coleman and Kerrigsn responded, and ss
they entered the house somebody mashed
heavy chair on Coleman's head, stunning
him and the blood nearly binding his eyes,
Int he quickly recovered. Coleman, be-
lieying that II. c. Steele was the person
Tho floored him, drew his pistol and fred
wounding Steele in the left side, below the
.houlder. Officer Oman stepped in at that
;urctura and Coleman told him to arrest
a man who was pointed out; Oman re-
fu.aa. whereupon Coleman gave him a
nunch. Oman, not fully understanding
81. .,tuatiou. told Coleman to look out tor
himself. as he intended to shoot him. az tne
aame time leveling his revolver. Coleman
%o,d him not to shoot his belly and turned
~. hack. receiving the bullet near the
chandler. This closed hostilities and the
entire party was taken to the first preclnct
.t.t;on. It was theL learned that both
Steele and Coleman were 80 seriously
wounded that it was necessary 10 senu
them to the Charity Hospital.
Il il not pretended that this statement Is
va-f.ctlv correct, but the story is so mixed
that the real circumstances will probably
neyar be known. 1t appears that there
