JUDGE HILTON.--Judge Hilton, into
whose possession Stewart has handed
his immense fortune, is a short, stout
man, about forty-five years of age. He
was Tweed's right hand man in the
palmy days of the "ring," and treasurer
of the Central Park Commission, and
afterward was elected judge of a petty
court, being more of politician than a
lawyer. This situation gone, he en-
tered Mr.. Stewards employ as his pri-
vate lawyer. He was cautious, pains
taking, and silent, drew Mr.. Stewards
papers with his own hand, wrote slowly
and elegantly, and his papers were mod
els of beauty and exactness. All his
legal papers came into the presence of
the master on time, as required and in
perfect order. And to these traits Judge
Hilton owes his position and his for
tune. New York City is full of the
widest rumOrs about the disposal of
the Stewart property. The general be-
lief is that the whole transaction covers
great private trust. The will was
probated in a private room.

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitome of newspaper history. It is also re-
garded as an official register of crrculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered TO with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. RowelI & Co.
such Information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426

Tilden is an old bachelor, worth &c.
100000, One-sixth of which, it is said, he
is willing to invest in mis- chances for
the Presidency, should the Democracy
nominate him. Those persons who are
old enough to remember the imbecile
administration of Buchanan will never
vote for another old bachelor. A man
might live thousand years and not ar
rive at mature age, unless he should
marry. No more old bachelors for us.
We would sooner risk the uncle aud the

Tn Franklin county, VT, a decision
has been rendered by the Court in favor
of granting a divorce on the ground OF
the intemperance of the husband, lead
ing to the abuse of the wife. She ad-
mits that she knew of his intemperate
habits before she married him, but that
he became much worse than she thought
he would be. The ground of divorce is
sufficient to justify it, but the case
brings to view the great danger of mar
rying a man "given to drink" Beware
of such fellows. They are not half so
worthy of being trusted as an honest,
sober, industrious youth without a cent
to begin the world with.

long contested suit of Jane Shields against
the executors OF the estate OF the late Henry
Shields, former president OF the New York

NEW YORK, Sept 16 "A special dispatch
20 the World from Baltimore, 18th, says
The greatest apprehension prevails here to-
day on account OF the prevalence OF some
fifteen cases OF yellow fever In the eastern
section OF the city, In q locality adjacent TO
the ship whsrves, where hundreds Of sea
faring men find lodging. Nothing was known
OF the presence of the epidemic until to-day.
The Authorities I'm Baltimore Con-
trad1ct the story.
BALTIMORE, Sept. ia telegram having
been sent from this city stating that yellow
fever prevailed here and great apprehension
was felt, the mayor and health department
was applied TO this forenoon for an official
statement OF facts. The mayor, Gen. Ferdi-
Dand G. Latrobe, states that no case OF yell
low fever prevails In Baltimore; that official
reports were made up To last evening by
Dr. Stewart, health commissioner, and DIR.
Howard, quarantine physician, aud not q
ca sc Of yellow fever was reported or has oc-
CURED. In bis report submitted yesterday,
DIR. Stewart states that typho- malarial fever
prevails to some extent In q locality In East
Baltimore fronting the back basin I'm tene-
ment houses At the foot OF Thomas, Dallas,
and Caroline streets; that he visited this lo-
cality yesterday and found twelve or thir-
teen cases OF this fever. which originated
from the bad sanitary condition OF the neigh
borhood, most OF which were improving.
The persons. suffering were not stevedores
and none OF the cases could in any way be
traced to shipping in the harbor. The dis
ease is endemic and disappears on thorough
disinfection Of the locality which has been
applied.

WHEN THE LAST SHOT WAS FIRED
Wild yell went mp from 10000 throats and
the solid phalaDxes formed in front of the
several score boards began to scatter. The
tide set In In the direction OF the American
tent and in few minutes the air was rent
with hip. hip, hurrah! hurrAhl hurrah!
Tteer" The cheering in the neighborhood
OF the American stand brought recruits to
the crowd from all points of the compass,
and In few minutes the major portion of
the spectators were swelling the lusty cheers
OF JOY ct the American success. First OF all,
Major Fulton complImented the foreign
teams on having compelled the Americans
to make score for which there is no paral-
lei In rife shooting. Major Leech, captain
OF the Irish. was then presented, and said
some pleasant things in his pleasant FASH
ion. Captain Mcdonald. OF the Scotch, was
straightforward and to the point. He wished
his own team to win, and the Irish TO be
second, but 10 appeared that be could have
only half bis desire-and all the captains
had something 10 say for themselves and
for their teams and for the Americans
Every body cheered for every body else, and
NJ jOr Leech insisted that there should be
a special cheer for the Americans In which
only those who were Irish should exercise
themselves. Then every one wanted TO see
Miner, the hero of the great score at I 200
yards, and be had to mount the platfol m
like the rest. Dyas, also, took his turn, and,
OF course, Colonel Bodine-"Old Reliable"
as the Irish called him-was not forgotten.

GOVERNOR HAYES AND THE AMERrC AN
ALLIANCE.-A dispatch from Columbus,
Ohio. Sept. ii, says: The last charge made
against Governor Hayes is to the effect that
he wrote q letter on the 6th Of July last to
Samuel ]. Tyler, secretary of the American
Alliarte, IN which he accepted membership
m a secret political society, and offered the
continent that suffrage and the right to hold
Office should be limited TO persons born IN

s1ch letter; second, that he never belonged to

as the act is totally repugnant to every act
