The New Play.
"Oliyia," the new play founded on an in
cident in Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield,
was given to a crowded audience at Union
Square Theater last night with Fanny
Davenport in the title role. 1t was acted
with much feeling, and was frequently ap-
plauded.
Aid For Grenada.
Mayor Ely yesterday received dispatch
from Mayor Mullen, of Grenada, Miss, say
ing that the yellow fever was causing great
distress in that place, and asking for pc
cuniary aid.
Mr. Falstead's Denial.
Murat Halstead editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial, who sails for Europe to-day on
the steamship Suevia, denies that there was
anything in his letter of introduction which
he gave Col. VIM. H. Roberts to Gov. Hayes
suggesting that Roberts was authorized to
say or do anything in behalf of the South
ern people, or that there was any bargain or
arrangement of any kind, and says that his
object in giving the letter to Roberts was
that he might give Hayes full view of the
situation from Democratic standpoint in
the Southwest, and did not expect Hayes to
talk to him very freely, but it shows he did
Keeley will Help Him.
Francis G. Green, of No. IS Dey street.
one of the largest dealers in iron pipes in
this city, has become embarrassed and has
asked an extension of twelve months from
his creditors. He is Director of the Kee-
ley Motor Company, and is so sanguine Of
its success that he expects to be able to pay
his creditors in full by money received from
it. Liabilities, 1854 900; assets $4,000 His
creditors agree to the extension, and to al
low him $4,000 out of the assets and one
year to develop and perfect the Kelley
Motor.
Robert w. Kelly of Southeast, Putnam
County, has gone into voluntary bankrupt
cy. Liabilities $90,695, nearly all of which
is secured.
Let the Great Men Speak Out.
The Herald says: In this State Gov. Sey-
mour has spoken sensibly and wisely, but
we should like to hear from Senator Conk-
ling and Senator Herman, Senator Randolph
in New Jersey, Senator Wallace in Penn
sylvania, and many other Senators ought to
speak out. In Ohio Senator Thurman has
spoken, and Senator Matthews agrees with
him so entirely that he can be spared to ar
que cases. He would only say ditto to
Thurman. In Indiana Senator Daniel Web
ster Voorhees, has also spoken and is, like
Thurman, for imitation, only little more
so, while Senator Mcdonald is on sounder
ground. Senator Bayard has spoken out
boldly for sound money, but there remains
great many conspicuous men, conspicu-
Gus in the country's emergency just now
only by their silence 1t is an evil that our
public men, our so-called statesmen, have
to great extent ceased to communicate
freely with the people. Most of them spend
their time in scheming for reelection.
MIR. Scott, of Ohio, is Wanted.
A Columbia, South Carolina, cor
respondent says from what can
be learned another arrest of dis
tinguished State offenders will be made. 1t
is reported on good authority that Governor
Hampton has also forwarded to the Govern
or of Ohio requisition asking for the ex-
tradition of A. X. Scott, who has for some
time been living in the town of Napoleon.
Scott was the first Republican elected Gov
ernor in the State of South Carolina. He
filled the Office two terms, from 1868 to
1872, when he was succeeded by Lozz. He
is charged with buying the Legislature, and
stealing money to make the purchase.
A Salvage Decision.
The decision in the salvage suit against
the steamship Colon is of considerable i'm
portance to ship owners. $l50,0OO was de-
manded but only $4,000 has been allowed.
In giving his decision Judge Chente takes
ground that salvage be regulated according
to the degree of danger to the property and
the amount of trouble and cost to the party
saving it.
Is Kearney Catholic?
The Times says that many persons will be
glad to know that Dennis Kearney, though
an 1rishman, is not Roman Catholic. The
Catholic Telegraph. which we have quoted
from, pronounces him an Orangeman. If
so the fact alone is sufficient to make nearly
every Roman Catholic in the land his bitter
foe. Moreover, Catholics are as body en-
tirely opposed to communism. Every form
of the Roman Church is the essence of con-
servatism, while communism is the extreme
