Look on this Picture.


Mondays Troy Tunes, a special train
from Saratoga arrived at the Union
depot, consisting of three special
horse cars containing the horses and
equipages of William II. Vanderbilt,
and the private drawing-room car of
that gentleman. This superb coach
is called the Vanderbilt. II is made
with every possible improvement,
and is probably the finest establish
ment of the kind in existence. The
trucks are mounted on spokcd paper
wheels, with exceptionally fine jour
mails. The outside is painted light
orange color. On the sides are four
scenes pannclcd in oil colors, one
representing the Grand Central de-
pot, another depicting the falls at
Niagara, another the great Fourth
avenue tunnel, and the other the
massive river bridge between Green
bush and Albany. The car is sump-
tuously fitted up inside with lounges,
easy chairs, desk and sleeping bcrths
The upholstery and furniture are
regal in style, and made of the most
costly material. In the rear is a COW
cred platform, with large windows
on either side, on which some ladies
were seated, viewing the scenery
along the route. The occupants of
the ear were William IL. Vanderbilt
and family and five friends. The run
from Saratoga to Troy, 80 miles, was
made in 81 minutes, and the time
from this city to New York, 100
miles, was to have been hours and
20 minutes, or at the rate of so miles
an hour, including stoppages at
Poughkeepsie to examine and oilfhe
wheels. AS soon as the train reach
cd this city one of the most trusty
conductors of the Hudson River rail-
road approached the rear platform,
where Mr.. Vanderbilt had stepped
out, touched his hat, received bow
of recognition, and asked the ques-
ton, "All ready 2" The railroad mag
nate replied, Eyes" the signal to the
engineer was given, and the train
moved on.
AND on THIS.
The facts of case full of sympa-
thy were unintenhonally brought to
light before Justice Duffy at the
Tombs Court Yesterday.
Eliza Cannon, a respectable needle
woman of Brooklyn, the mother of
five children, came before the court.
About two weeks ago Simon NJ.
Cohen of 345 Broadway advertised
for shirt-makers. Mrs. Cannon went
to 3i5 Broadway, and asked how
much he would give for making
shirts. Cohen replied that he would
give 80 cents per dozen, and she
would have to leave 81 deposit. She
left the dollar, and took the work
home. There, after working hard,
she found she could not make more
than 40 cents day.
She took the made shirts to the
store. Cohen found fault with a
number of them, saying they were
not properly made, and asked her to
pay for them. She refused to do so,
and asked her dollar deposit back,
but is alleged, she was rudely elected
from the place, and charge Of dis
orderly conduct was preferred
against her. Cohen alleges that she
took nm ink-bottlc and destroyed
every shirt in his store. He pro-
cecded to unroll bundle of shirts,
and pointed out where n stitch was
too long or where one was missed.
"You provide the bosom, and the
woman has TO sew all the rest" said
his Honor.
Eyes, sir, and she can make sc
cents day"
"What is that for woman and O
family, and the work so hard 2"
"But she destroyed my shirts with
ink"
"Well, what of it? She said il
was an accident. lido not wonder-it
is enough to drive any woman crazy
living as she had done on starvation
wages. You do not give any one a
living chance, while you get rich
You live at the rate of $40 a day,
while these poor miserable creatures
are striving night and day for a few
cents. The dollar deposit you kept
is enough TO cover the damage. Eli
Cannon is discharged"
