TWEED'S CASE.
Reasons Why Negotiations for His Release
Failed.


New YORK, June 15.-Tweed's friends
are much discouraged by the failure of
the authorities to accept his states evil
dence against rings, and let him free.
There is reason to believe that the failure
was caused by counter evidence, showing
that much of Tweed's professed testimony
would be overwhelmed by rebutting evil
denCe; also that be transferred to Europe
the proceeds of large amount of proper.
ty which is still within his control and
ought to be surrendered to the city, from
which it was plundered. 1t now appears
that the imputations made against Sena-
tor Woodin were false as regards the
latter, but truthfully applied to one Wood,
and that Woodin's name was substituted
only he was large game, and his de-
struction would therefore command a
larger rate in calculating the price Of
Tweed's release.
1t is now said, privately, that Tweed
can escape from his dangerous criminal
indictment only by such liberal cash
settlement of civil suits it is believed he
still has means to make. Among future
probable developments is the alleged
fact that Oakley Halls share Of ring spoils
passed through the hands of Peter Swee-
ney's brother James, now dead, out Of
whose estate the Sweeney settlement
was made;also that about three-eighths of
the four hundred thousand dollars paid
out of said estate was the balance Of
Halls share remaining in Sweeny's
hands when he died. Those in posi-
ton to know say that Peter B. .Sweeney's
Endorsement has not been found on a
single check or other paper which was
suspected Of representing any part of the
rings financial transactions.

RUSSIA is in the money market of Eu'
rope to borrow seventy-fve millions Of
dollars; and is making a forced loan
upon her own people Of twice that
amount. Money is the sinew of war.
The Russian loan in England would not
float, and the bankers at Paris and Ber-
lin take it at thirty per cent discount,
and then with big commission. This
is the heaviest discount Russia has paid
since 1859, unless it was in 1865. Russian
credit is but little better than that Of the
Turk. The Russian debt before this war
was 81 ,254, $4,000, and her forced paper
circulation amounts to $565, ,223, ,915. Rus
sia. knows nothing about specie payment
and cares nothing. Even in peace times
her revenues are short of her expendi-
lures from five to twenty-five millions.
At this rate reputation is only ques-
ton of time. Some resolute Gar will
come along in time who will wipe it out
at one dash with ukase. A few exam
pies of this kind would do good to the
world, and teach the money sharks bet
ter than to furnish funds to carry on
murderous, grasping war.

tive.
The aged, and persons subjected TO Con-
stipation, Paralysis and Weakness of the
Bowels, Kidneys and Bladder, etc., that
have to resort to Injections, by taking two
or three of Aliens Liver Pills, will enjoy
natural discharges, and by the occasional
these cases their strengthening and nutri-
tous principles are exhibited; every dose
will add new strength to the Bowels, Liver
Kidneys, ETC., that may be worn or depleted
by age.
In these Pills, a want that science has
ever failed to supply is secured, and this is
a thorough purgative that can be given
in safety in cases of eruptive fevers as in
small -pox erysipelas, yellow fever, scarlet
and typhoid fevers. When the Mucous
Membrane becomes liberated, these Pills

HIS last Sermon as a Methodist.

The Rev. Emory ]. Haynes of the
Seventh Avenue Methodist Church, Brook
lyn who has been clergyman in that de-
nomination for eight years, and is about
to Join the Baptist denomination, preach
ed his farewell sermon yesterday. He
felt himself under great restraint, because
it would be discourteous and even dis
honorable in him to explain fully his
reasons for changing his denomination
relations. 1t was enough to say that, af-
ter a struggle through which he hoped
never again to be called to pass, he had
come to that determination. He had
long felt that it was not best for him to be
constantly subjected to the change Of pas
toral relations, which is part Of the Me-
thodist Church government. 1t had be-
come matter of conscience with him to
be continuous laborer for longer pc
riod than the three years allowed for pas
toral relations in one place because he
thought that he could thus be more use
full. 1t had long been serious question
in his mind whether it was best to admin
lister the sacrament Of baptism to persons
who knew nothing of its intent. Since
coming to the determination he had pur-
sued this investigation, and the re
suit was that he had adopted the whole
ground of the Baptist denomination.

THE LIFE OF THE WIDOW vAl
COTT.

HER GIRLHoeD, HER MARRIAGE, HER wID-
owHooD, AND RER ELEVEN YEARS As A
PREACHER.
The Widow Van Colt, whose remarka-
bic revival meetings have attracted SO
much attention, has just completed the
eleventh year of her ministry. She says
tha* the first two years of her preaching
were not attended with much success,
but that in the past nine years. she has
made $4,000 converts. Over $4,000 of
these Joined the church on probation,
and about 1900 of the probationers be-
came full members. Mrs. Van Cott has
cendu cted $50 meetings every year. She
gives from eleven to fourteen hours q
day to spiritual and religious work. She
goes wherever she is invited, and serves
the rich and the psor churches exactly
alike.
The widow Van Cott does not prepare
her sermons. She seldom does more
than select the text before she goes into
pulpit. Then she breaches extemporan-
eonsly. Her converts seldom fail to be-
come permanently better citizens, prac-
tising integrity, honor, justice, and
kindness in ther business and in their
intercourse with their fellows.
There have beeu several erroneous
versions of Mrs. Van Colts remarkable

traps he had set. While inspecting the
traps, he heard his dog making an un-
usual noise ssme distance below him.
On going to the dog he found him ly

MONSTER GUNS.

The Castle OF Asiss, on the Dardan-
Giles, still bozsis the biggest guns IN
the universe. or greater ealibrc than
our vaunted eighty-ton cannon or one
hundred-ton weapons OF the Italians,
the old bronze ordnance OF the Tu,ks
still enjoys the reputation OF being
able to fire the largest cannon balls in
the world. The old bronze cannon /,
We are told, date as far back as the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, many
of them having been employed si tho
siege of ScutaTi, in Albania, by Mo-
hammed IL, in 1873. There was hard
fighting in those days, II we may trust
Won Asmmer's history for during two
months that the siege continued no
less than 1855 shots were fired, some
of them of diameter of thirty-two
inches. Estimating the weight of gun
powder at fourth that of the ball 1t
must have taken charge of well nigh
four hundred pounds of powder TO
hurl some of these massive thunder
bolts against the walls of Scutari. Won
Moltke, the great Prussian straiegist.
inspected these guns ON the Dardanel-
les in 1929, and in his account OF his
travels says: "These gigantic guns
are some OF them twentyeight inches in
diameter, and q man may creep into
them up TO the breech." But il is not
only in bygone times that these weap-
ons have been employed with effect,
for in the present century one OF our
admirals, Sir John Duckworth, who
forced the passage of the Dardanelles

muzzles he had to pass. In conse-

Standard on that occasion no less
than eight men were killed and forty

ball of stone, 20 inches in diameter,
made such hole in the Active that
the captain. looking over to see what
was the matter, saw two of his crew
thrusting their heads through 1t at
the same moment. These cannon,
however, as our readers may suppose,
cannot vie with our modern heavy
guns. Being placed in a commanding
position above TIE Straits, they are
necessarily formidable weapons. but
they bowl out. rather than fire, the big
stone cannon-balls from their mazzles,

pose being OF aslow-burning character
