Chicken Piyatas.

Officers Breen and Jeffries, while cruising
on their beats early yesterday morning, sight

The coat-tails of the three Strengthened out in
line behind them, and they scudded away
under full sail. The officers steamed up and
went in pursuit, but we're crippled by too much
darkness. During the chase the oaieers
picked up eleven dead chickens, which had

4A-NoyeISWager.

George s svage, esq, the veteran Son of
Temperance, and Mr.. A. C. Constantine, an
other ardent temperance worker, made a bet
last week, which, besides laying claim to nov
city, will also result in much good. If Hayes
and Wheeler are elected Mr.. Savage agreeo to
furnish at his own expense hall for the pur-
pose of holding temperance meeting opee a
week for one year. II Tilden and Hendricks
are elected Mr.. Constantine agrees to solicit
funds sufficient to pay for hail for the same
purpose for the same length of time. Mr..
Savage being amply able TO pay for a hau out
of his own means, assumed the more onerous
portiou,of the wager.

ships md Insurance.

Perhaps the insurance fund of the world
is the greatest aggregate of capital that can
be classed under any one head. AS every little
county treasury is watched by ingenious
thieves; as scarcely merchants safe or a re-
tailers till is without the active attention of
rogues with some contrivance and activity,
it is not to be expected that the enormous
capital held for the payment of losses by fire
or marine accidents should fail to excite the
cupidity of thieves, or to stimulate them to
greater than ordinary efforts to secure some
portion of so grand a plunder. Crimes that
are directed against the fire insurance COM
panies are familiar; but the case of the Mosel
shows that all the depths to which
the greater crime against ships may go
have not yet been sounded In the report
from London of the investigation by the
British Board of Trade into the loss of the
Island Belle there is evidently another one
of the ordinary cases of shipwreck contrived
and effected with a view to the insurance.
There were seven hands, only one of whom
could steer the vessel, and he was kept in
irons the second mate was killed, and the
vessel was run on shore. With cases of this
nature multiplying and cases like that of the
Mosel threatening, governments will early
find themselves compelled to faces q de-
mand for some revolutionary legislation as to
the insurance of ships. AS the endeavor to
make safe the value of certain cargo Of
merchandise directly imperils the cargo Of
human creatures that go out with it as sail
ors or passengers, the problem whether hu-
man life or the goods are of most account
will be presented for solution, and if strin-
gent regulations cannot be enforced on the
companies this temptation to horrible crimes
must be cut off altogether by making it
crime to insure any ship or cargo.

Rapid Transits Success-The Gro wd-
ing Nuisance.

The opening of the extension of the Ele-
waited Railway Company to Fifty-ninth
street yesterday marked red letter day in
the annals of rapid transit A train Of cars
was run from the Battery to Central Park in
twenty-nine minutes, and although this is
not by any means what we would expect
from q double track line with occasional
through trains, it shows satisfactorily that the
numbering horse car nuisance, to which New
York has so long submitted, will no longer
have it all its own way. We have already
commented on the tendency to over
crowding. which is showing itself even
on this steam car line, the passen-
gers, doubtless, aiding to make tho
increased accommodation q cause of sufoca-
ton to each other. Now, not only on this
line must the practice be promptly checked,
but similar measure of reform must be ap-
piled to the horse cars. The public, accus-
toned as it is to the disgraceful crowding,
as cells get used to being skinned, shows
evident signs of desire to end this uncom-
Portable mode of asphyxiation. The compa-
nies, however, are intent on keeping it up.
In the newest cars on the Third avenue line
the leather straps hang as invitingly as on
the oldest little pest-box on the line. There
are even more of them. In summer it may
be observed that companies have found their
profit in running open cars, where theoret-
ically, there is no standing room but con-
ductors will take up passengers while there is
an inch of room on the footboard, where the
passengers life is absolutely in danger from
every passing vehicle. Surely the citizens
who use these lines have right to more than
mere foot room for their money. Not even the
most brazen director would argue that to
pack people to the verge Of suffocation in
winter and to hang them out for possible
conversion into mincemeat in summer covers
their contract. We would leave no stone
unturned to procure steam transit, but the
horse cars will be necessity to the end, and
now is very appropriate time to force the
lines TO give a seat to every passenger who
pays fare. We wish to hear from the leg
islator who will bring in the requisite REM
edy for this abuse Long suffering as they
are, the people of New York are ripe for re-
volt against this unhealthy, indecent and
animal system.

dividuals the responsibility Is entirely ours
in courts Of justice and the court Of public
opinion. But when, instead of communi-
eating facts for us to judge of and use,
writer prepares articles for US to publish
and expects us to make attacks on individ-
uals and shield him from consequences,
he asks more than we are willing
to grant He should have courage
enough to expose his own name and
back up his own quarrel 1t is cowardly to
skulk behind journal and ask its editor to
incur the enmity of people whose conduct
he has no reason to censure These remarks
are prompted by an attack ON Mr.. John IL
Sherwood for communication to another
journal making certain statements and offers
relating to the deprecated value of the real
estate he owns north of the Central Park.
The proper course for his assailant would
have been to send letter, signed with his
name, to the journal in which Mr. Sher-
woods communication appeared; but he
presumes too much in expecting us to make
his attack and shield him from response
bility.
