Since the expiration Of Police Commits
sioner Erhardts term of Office Mayor Ely
has made two nominations for the vacancy
to tho Board of Aldermen and both have
been rejected. The nominees have been Of
the same political party to which the retir-
ing commissioner is attached, and the con-
firmation Of either Of them would have left
undisturbed the equal political division Of
the Police Board, of which all fair-minded.
citizens approve. In rejecting the Mayors
nominations the democratic Aldermen have
expressed their determination not to con-
firm any other than Tammany democrat
for the vacant commissionership, their
avowed object being to destroy the nom
partisan character OF the Police Board. In
this they put themselves in opposition to
the wishes Of the most respectable portion
of the community and to the sentiments of
the Mayor, who, both prior and subsequent
to his election, has insisted that while the
Election Bureau is in the Police Depart
ment the Police Commission should be
equally divided between the two great polit-
ical parties in the State.
week ago Comptroller Kelly and the
democratic members of the Board of Alder
men made a formal request to the Mayor
that he would send in the name of Alder
man Purroy as Police Commissioner, in
place of Mr.. Erhardt The Mayor, doubt
less out of respect to his political friends.
took week to consider the matter, which
he might have decided on the instant. and
yesterday announced his positive refusal to
make the desired nomination. His course
will meet with warm and general approval.
The sxpediency of maintaining the politi-
cal balance in the Police Commission is
proved by the conceded fairness Of the last
election in the city, and Mayor Ely is bound
by his word not to disturb it. But even
should it be deemed proper to name a dem
ocrat as Mr.. Erhardt's successor it would be
the duty of the Mayor to select a citizen Of
position, experience, capacity and indepen-
dence for the position. Alderman Purroy
has not solitary qualification for the Office,
and as a mere instrument in the hands Of q
partisan leader is the most unfit person that
could be selected for the important trust.
1t is fortunate that the Mayor is master Of
the situation. Under the law Mr.. Erhardt
holds over until his successor is appointed
and qualities. The public interest, there
fore, will not suffer by failure to fill the
vacancy, and the political equilibrium of
the Police Board will remain undisturbed
during the pleasure of Mayor Ely.

A Curious Lawsuit.

Los Angeles has had novel lawsuit.
1t came before Justices court. and was
to this effect A had sick horse which

thought was sure to die. So he took
the horse to B, livery stable keeper,
and SAID, 81 will give you five dollars to

said B. So A paid the five dollars, left
the horse in charge of b and went away.
b could not, however, summon sufficient
nerve to kill the poor animal, SO, in his
turn, B said to G. "If you will kill this
horse for me will give you five dollars. -
"All right" said G, and 9 took the
horse away with him. @, however, did
not kill the horse, but doctored him and
restored him to health. A, much to his
surprise, one day saw O driving a fine
animal, which A Enthusiastically recog-
nized as his formerly sick horse. A de-
manded the horse from @ (; G refused to
give him up, and A brought suit against

Osnlan pasI,a.

The identity of Osman Pasha the
Turkish commander, bids fair to be as
perplexing n problem as that of the
author of the Junius letters. Americans
claim the name for II. Clay Crawford,
and the Turkish Legation reports that
the Marshal was born in Asia Minor of
Mussulman parents. 1t is left for a
Jewish newspaper, published in Pesth,
to give more detailed portrait of the
hero of Plevna. According to this
authority Osman Pasha was born in
Hungary of Jewish parents named Wolf.
On attaining his majority he changed
his name to Farkas. He participated
in the revolution of 184S, and after the
subjection of Hungary he fled to Turkey
and adopted the Mohammedan faith.
His great powers as linguist attracted
the notice of the Sultan's household
officers, and after brief sojourn he was
named professor in the military school
ut Constantinople. His course in that
capacity gave such high satisfaction
that he was soon charged with the
superintendent of the education of the
Sultan's children. During the Crimean
war he conducted the correspondence
between the Turkish, French and
English armies, and on the conclusion
of peace the Sultan raised him to the
dignity of Pasha, when he assumed the
name of Osman. In the early part of
the struggle precipitated by the Monte
negrins upon Turkey he was given an
important post, and was once captured
by body of irregular soldiers in the
mountains of Montenegro. This state
mentis confirmed by his brother Bernhard
Wolf, who is at present o leading men,
Der of the Jewish synagogue in Pesth,
and who says he is in the constant re-
ceipt of letters from Osman, narrating
his varied experiences and defending the
Mohammedan faith with all the zeal of
an orthodox Turk.

Senator Spencer's Marriage.

A New York correspondent says: One

brought out has gone to the Black Hills
as the bride of Senator Spencer, of Ala
bamo. May Nunez was her name few
days ago. She had been on the stage
only short time, but already had be-
come a favorite. The marriage, which
took place ct seven o'clock in the morn
ing, caused quite futter among the
gossips when it became known, for it
was entirely unexpected. There was
something rather romantic about the
whole affair. Miss Nunez was the
daughter of an Confederate officer,
Major Loring. Her father obtained en-
ployment in the New York Custom
House some years ago, through the
then Postmaster General Jones. Early
in 1875 he became too ill to attend to
his duties in the Dead Letter Depart.

and filled it, and drew his salary. II

Novel Use for Carrier Pigeons,

The experiment which was tried last
winter of employing carrier pigeons to
bring early intelligence every morning
from the fishing ground, off the Scotch
coast, of the results of the nights labor,
is again being resorted to this season.
One of the birds is taken out in every
boat in the afternoon, and after the nets
have been hauled on the following morn
ing, the pigeon is dispatched with a
small piece of parchment tied round its
neck, containing information as to the
extent of the catch, the position of the
boat, the direction of the wind, and the
prospects of the return journey. II
there is not wind enough to take the boat
back, or if it is blowing in an unfavorable
direction, request is made for tug,
and from the particulars given as to the
bearings of the craft, she can be picked
up easily by the steamer. Most of the
pigeons, when 1T off from the boats,
circle three times round overhead, and
then sweep away toward the land witt
great rapidity, generally flying ut the
rate of about mile per minute,

Precautions Against Fire.

Now that the long evenings are COM
! ing on, and the lamp is coming into use,
it is an excellent time to form strict
habits of guarding against explosions.
| Every accident of this kind results from
simple carelessness; and the following
rules, while perhaps not covering all
cases, will if observed undoubtedly
render mishaps from fire exceedingly
improbable
1. Never buy anything but the best
quality of oil. =
2. Never make sudden motion with
a lamp, either in-lifting it or setting it
down.
g. Never place lamp on the edge of
table or mantel.
a. Never fill lamp after dark, even if
you have to go without light.
5. See that the lamp -wicks are always
clean and that they work freely in the
tube.
6. Never blow out lamp from the
top.
I. Never take light to closet where
there are clothes. If necessary to go to
the closet, place the light at distance.
g. Use candles just as much as possi-
BILE in going about the house and in bed
rooms. They are cheaper, can't explode,
and for very many purposes are just as
good.
8. Matches s. ould always be kept in
stone OF earthen jars or in tin.
10. They should never be left where
rats or mice can get hold Of them. There
is nothing more to the taste of rats than
phosphorus. They will eat it if they
can get at it. A bunch of matches is
almost certain to be set on fire if Iat
gets at it.
II. Have perfectly good safes in
every place where matches are to be
used, and never let one remain upon the
floor.
12. Never let match go out of your
hand, after lighting it, until you are
sure it is out; and then it is better to
put it in the stove or an earthen dish.
13. It is far better to use the safety
matches, that can only be lighted upon
the box that contains them.
IA. Have your furnace examined care
fully in the fall, and at least once during
the winter, by competent person. All
of the pipes and fiues should be care
fully looked to.
Is. If there are any closets in the
house near chimneys or fiues, which
there ought not to be, put nothing of a
combustible nature into them. Such
closets will soil silver and crack crockery.
16. Never leave any wood near fur
mace, range or stove to dry.
II. Have your stoves looked at fire.
quently, to see that there are no holes
for Goals to drop out.
IS. Never put any hot ashes or Goals
in wooden receptacle.
19. Be sure that there are no curtains
or shades that can be blown into a gas
light.
20. Never examine gas-meter after
dark,

An ImprOmptu Duel.

Yesterday evening, about four o'clock,
says late issue of Richmond (Va.)
paper, an impromptu duel was fought in
the store of Richard Holloran, corner of
Twenty-fourth and Main streets, between
James w. Holloran and William Estres,
resulting in Holloran's s receiving pistol
ball in his head. Sergeant Ben Howard,
being informed of the affair, arrested
Estres ON Main street, near Twenty
second, and locked him up in the First
police station.
A few days ago Richard Holloran or
dered Estres out of his store, and yester-
day evening Estres went back there and
demanded satisfaction. James Holloran,
the son, said that his father was not in,
but he would take his place and give
him what satisfaction he wanted, at the
same time handed out two pistols and
requested Estes to select one. The
pistol was selected. Each took his posi-
tion, and Estres fired first, the ball
striking Holloran on the right side of
the head and passing round to the back,
embedded itself deep into the skull.
DR.. Riddell and the two ambulance
surgeons succeeded in cutting the ball
out. DR.. Riddell informed Justice White
that the wound was serious one, but
that by careful attention Holloran would
be out in a few days. Estres was COM
nlitted to Jail.

Fulton Fish Market, New York.

The market is substantial wooden
structure, which was built in 1869. at a
cost of 1926, 900, aud the owners are the
Fulton Market Fishmongers' Associa-
ton, the members of which include none
but stand-holders. There are eighteen
of these, each doing only wholesale
business, amounting in the aggregate to
nearly 100000 yearly. They do not
supply the city alone ; indeed, about
seventy per cent. of the stock is shipped
by rail and steamship to points as far as
400 miles away, and swarm of men are
constantly packing the fish for distant
transportation as fast as it is delivered
by the vessels at the market. Old sugar
boxes are used for the purpose, the fish
and ice being placed in alternate layers.
The quantity of ice used is in proportion
to the distance the fish has to go, and
when it exceeds 800 miles the two arti-
cles are packed in equal proportion.
Each firm has the same amount of space
in the market, with q door entering on
South street, an Office and an extension
to the waterfront, where vessels deliver
their stock to each firm separately.
Sometimes a belated sloop or schooner
comes to the wharf after theonarket has
closed, and it might be expected that
she would rest in peace until morning.
But the fishermen are too thrifty and
industrious for that. Extending in q
straight line from each stand into the
dock are ten OF twelve strong boxes,
something like scows, which have nova
BILE lids and are called "cars." The fish
are unloaded into these, which are part
ly filled with salt water brief state
ment of the consignment is deposited in
the letter-box, the brown and well-worn
sails are hoisted, and before daylight the
old craft is out at sea again, her nets
trailing in the gray depths for prey. 1t
is pretty sight to see one of these old
coasters enter the wharf and unload in
the moonlight, her crew, arough-visaged.

arms, gathered on the deck over the gilt

the masts, dripping with spray, and not
furled, as they are 50 soon to taste the
breeze once more. Soon the fishermen
haul out into tue stream again ; there is
a creaking OF ropes, and with helm hard
up to the wind, the boat speeds down

A Scene in Nicsics.

The correspondent of the Ma1cho ster
England) Guardian gives a vivid de-
scription of the scene in Nicsics when
the Montenegrin flag futtered out from
the staff of the citadel. Men, women,
and children thronged into the streets /;
the wounded hobbled out on their
crutches from the hospitals everybody
who had a gun or pistol fred it off, and
those who hadn't relieved their feelings
by singing national hymns and embrac-
ing one another at the chorus war
dances were danced in the squares, the
venerable metropolitan and his priests
looking on, and over all this uproar rose
the booming of cannon and the steady
clang of the cathedral aud monastery
bells. SIT is the wild, reckless delight
of so many children, writes the CORE
spondent, "and is inconceivable in civil
lized country" But the Montenegrins
have reason for rejoicing. They have
been trying to drive the Turks out of
Nicsics for centuries, and now, after
half dozen costly and unsuccessful
sieges, they have done it.
