AID ron THE SOUTH.
The work Of providing aid for the fever
stricken South has begun here in earnest.
The Chamber OF Commerce has appointed
large committee OF prominent citizens TO
solicit subscriptions, and large sum will
probably be realized from this action. Tho
Mayor and various benevolent societies
are also interested in the movement, and
the city will bc canvlsscd extensively.
Tie dispatches from private parties i'll the

situation us less hopeful than previously
reported, and say that aid WILDE required

CIsrrISO AZ FANNY START
Three lads between the ages OF fifteen
and seventeen years have been arrested for
systematic thicvery, carried on for some
months. Oncof them was employed by
the firm Of LilSkcr & BerncStein, Wholesale
druggists, and used his position to SNUG
Gle sponges, chamois skins and other cost
Is goods into the cellar, where he deliver
cd them to his associates. They took the
goods to n pawnbroker's. The firm did
not miss the articles from its large stock,
but caught the young clerk in the act OF
handling over spOnges to his confcdGratcs.

for long time rcaped heavy profits from

ouARRELISG OVER coSEY.
Much interest has been created here in
the claim to right OF possession OF Coney
Island, made by the heirs OF Overt Van
Voorhees,, whose purchase irOmthc paten-
tee, can he proved, according to the heirs.
Concy Island has become immensely val
liable property within three years, and the
millions spent in its Improvement are re-
girtled most prOfitably invested. ltS sue
cess us Il watering place this season has
been unprecedented; hence this claim, set
up in opposition 10 that Of Gravesend VII
lagc, attnlcts wide attention. II promises
to be another Annckc cSe, although u
lawyer here declares that the Van vOor-
hees heirs have clear case on which to
recover possession.
THE SMITH MURDER,
The inquest In the case of Policeman
Smith does not promise TO disclose any
thing with regard to the perpctratOr OF the
murder Mrs. Smith refuses absolutely to
testify, merely protesting her innocence,
as she has done from the first. This muir
der bids fair to rank with the celebrated
Nathan ease, which remains without clue
after the lapse Of many years.
DOGARDUs AND CARVER
The great shooters, have left their guns
and taken to tho newspapers. They have
writton themselves into the worst Of
friends, and probably no match will be
made between them. Carver now says
plainly that Borgarlus IL afraid 10 shoot
with him, and calls Bogarlus an artful
