A Bold and shrewd Young ROg ne.

Last Saturday evening a bold and
shrewd robbery-we presume it might
be fittingly termed such h-was perpe-
trated on lady, the wife of one of
our grocery merchants, living on a
principal street, in the most thickly
settled portion of the city. 1t was in
this wise: A young negro girl came
to the lady of the house, telling her
that a lady, one of the nearest
neighboTs, had sent her to
borrow the cloak belonging 10 the frs
mentioned lady's daughter, to cut
some patterns by, and she would re-
turn it soon. The lady thought some
thing strange of it at first, but didn't
for moment suspect any trick, and
sent it along. She did think strange,
however, that it was not returned as
promised, but it was not until the
cloak was needed to be worn to Sunday
School Sunday morning that a runner
was sent to the lady to whom
it was thought to be loaned, but it
was all news to her, and then the lady
who thought she was making loan
awoke to the sad realization that she
was out fine and costly cloak.
Where it was gone TO there was no
means CT knowing. as the girl was not
known at all.
We have heard of other tricks Of a
similar character being perpetrated
on housewives about the city. 1t is a
bold plan Of operation, and it is a pity
the willy perpetrators can not be
caught up with. 1t behooves the la
dies to take warning from this trick
and be on their guard hereafter.

TIE Cincinnati Gazette has the fol-
lowing reason why the Virginia Re
publicans acted in the last canvass, rs
they did, with the Readjusters:
"The position of the Republicans in
Virginia is not understood either by
the President or by Northern Repub-
licans. The recent contest in that
State is only known in the North as q
struggle between what are called the
Debtpayers and the Readjusters, or
what the North chooses the repudia-
tors. Now the truth is, the great ma
jOrity of the Republicans, the rank
and file of the party, did co operate
with the Readjusters and made the
victory OF that party possible, but it
- unlruthful and Unjust to call the
Reao listers repudiatoTs. No party in
NHginla advocates reputation. The
question at issue was as to the me
anu I0rm OF the payment of the put
tic Qeot, and whether, for Instance,
tne schools should be closed to enable
Tue state to pay a greater amount of
interest than it can now afford.
put, as matter Of fact, the
ueoI question, although that is under.
s.oou In The North to have been the
ohly question at issue. was by no
means the controlling influence in the
campaign. The fight of the Readiust-
ers was against Bourbon ring rule;
"sainst The Democratic machine;
against the party of intolerance ana

nSS prescribed The negro and Repuhli-
cahlsm, and has planted itself upon

trary, care littl. for the faie If the De.

from ring rule, and it is true they have

NEW YORK.

New YORK, Nov. 25.-The depot
and stables of the Eighth Avenue
Railroad Company, on Eighth Az
enue between 51st and Sind streets,
were discovered to be on fire this
morning. The flames spread go
rapidly that in short time they
were beyond control, and soon the
structure of the doomed walls COM
menced falling. It is reported that
several fremen are injured.
When the fire broke out but few
employees were about the stables.
Hence efforts were made to rescue
the horses, but out of Is on the
second floor only 35 were saved.
There were about 200 horses on the
third and fourth floors, Of which
only 40 were brought out. The
sufferings of many horses saved
from the flames scorched or burned
were terrible to witness. On
the Fifteenth street side the
flames spread with lightning-like
rapidity, owing to the fact that i'm
mense quantities of hay and feed
were stored there. It was here
that two gallant but unfortunate
fremen were terribly mangled and
another bandly injured. A ladder
had been run up the wall, and
three members of Engine Company
No, l, of Harlem, were at work
Without a moments warning, the
wall fell in, carrying ladder and
fremen with it.

PREPARATIONS TO LIGHT UP THE NEIGHBon-
KLEcTRIcITy.
Arrangements are now in progress by electric
light company for the lighting up by electricity of
the immediate neghborhood OF the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. 1t is contemplated to make tho entire neigh
borhood including the park brilliant at night as
the Place de iOpera in Paris. This company claim
to have practically succeeded in subdividing the
electric light In connection with the carbon burner
For this purpose they adopt ingenious device by
which the main circuit can supply large number
of other circuits by means of induced electricity
The main CIRCUIT remains constantly closed and the
current IL therefore continually flowing over
It. Arranged ut different places Oh the main circuit
bobbins OF wire each connecting with electric
lamp. Around these bobtins second current Of
the subtle fluid is induced from the main line which
induced current gives the electric light. This ar
rangement is based on the well known principle of
electricity, that ~ current Is made to flow near
second wire the latter becomes charged with cleo
triciy OF higher tension than the electricity how
my in the first circuit Actual practice of the new
arrangement demonstrates. the company claim,
that these various induced currents do not deract
In any spprecable degree from the strength of
the main circuit.
Another advance in the science Of electric lighting
which the company claim as covered by their pat
ents the practical indestructibty OF the carbon
points, To accomplish this their carbons are manu-
factured in such way that asbestos In appropriate
quantities IL made to preserve the carbon from de-
struction. A second method, involving the same
principle IL the covering OF the carbon points with
hood of asbestos. which, while II does detract
from the How OF the current and the consea ient
brlliancy OF the voltac keeps tho carbon from
wasting away by consumption. by the use of either
arrangement no regulator for keeping the carbon
points close together In necessary, and the
company have discarded In all their late lamps
the use OF regulators. IL continued practice shows
that the votaic arc can be kept uninterrupted for
any considerable length of time without regulators
o marked advance has been made In electric light
Ing, inasmuch as the employment OF regulators
adds both TO the complication and the expense of
the electric light.
The president of the company stated. in an inter-
view with HERALD reporter yesterday concerning
the cost OF the light by the new system. that ho
had recently received report from large manufac-
tory in Hartford. whore the light Is used, showing
IL to be very much cheaper thni gas. The manufac-
tory in question based their report upon period OF
time covering the manufacture of several torpedo
boats for the Peruvian government. The light by
gas cost III ~ per hour, while the same light BY
electricity cost only eight cents per hour
