NEW YORK NOTES.
An Interview With Chastine Cox
i'm Jail.
The Murderer Martyr. The Ma
hcious People Who Testified
Against Him.

NEW YORK, July 1s.-Chastine Cox WAS in
terviswed in his condemned cell In the Tombs
this afternoon. He has little faith In new
trial, and expects that ultimately he will be
hanged. He has emphasized his religious
pretensfons, and Is very devout. He said that
when his careless demeanor during the trial
was alluded to, that he felt all the time that
those malicious people were testtfying that
Gods arm was around him and he was happy,
ferent. He regarded himself as martyr, and
asserted that he was unjustly convicted and
that he never intended to kill Mrs. Hull.
WHAT Coxs COUNSEL ARE DOING.
His counsel are busily preparing documents
on which to make application for q writ OF er-
ror and stay OF proceedings In the Supreme
Court this afternoon, and confidently expect
to get a new trial.

Bishop Haven,s woodstock speech.

NEW YORK, July 18-There are some facts
in connection with the speech OF Bishop Gill
bert Haven at Woodstock, ON the fourth Of
July, which are not generally known. Few
Of the people who attended the celebration
heard the speech, and they knew nothing Of
the "Grant BOOM which it contained until
they read the morning papers. As g matter
of fact the speech was not delivered at the
celebration In the park. Before the time ap-
pointed for the bishop to entertain the public
great storm broke out and all were COM
PEELED to seek shelter. When the storm
ceased the general public departed for their
homes.
Bishop Havens's speech had been prepared
and deposited in proof slips In newspaper
offices throughout the country, hence it was
necessary that the speech should be spoken.
Consequently the bishop appeared before
about 800 people in the evening in the little
village church and read biz address, IF Mas
somewhat disgusted and had requested that
be should have morning assignment, and
had intended to leave Boston In the evening,
but of course 1t would not do to depart with
out pronouncing his address, which would 10
any event be published.

A Bears Appetite.

A bear has an appetite similar to that OF q
goat On board the United States man-of-
war Alaska, there is bear cub which was OBJ
tained at Sftka by an ensign and which is the
pet OF the ship. lisa very playful and socfable
animal, climbs to the main-top when 90
minded, and roams in freedom throughout
every part Of the ship. On Its first appear
ance on board 1t devoured all the soap and
candles within sight, and ate two officers
dress suits. They were obliged to lock up
the soap In an iron safe to keep 1t out OF reacn
OF the bear. and the ensign who owns the AMI
ages to the officers suits. One OF the freaks Of
the bear was to raid on the barber's shop Of
the ship and eat all the shaving soap, shaw
ing cups and brushes, hail oil, combs and
brushes. By order Of the captain, q guard -
keep the bear from eating them, the animal
having made several attempts in that direc-

Bottle Alley" which Is a ramifcation Of
Baxter street, and is just north Of Worth
street, is noted Tor Its deprayity. In rear
were counted twenty men and women, who
were seated On benches and dirty beds OF
straw. Two OF three we're lying on the hoor,
overcome by liquor. Four were seated at
table playing at cards, with pennies Tor
stakes. The door, the only means OF ventllat-
ing this stinking hole, WAS closed. In one
corner sat an Italian keeping guard over q
keg OF stale beer, and doing out plnts at
two cents apiece. The stale beer traffic, the
officers say, is the source OF tWo-thirds oil The
misery found In these squaltd basementa.
Certain Italians go out early In the morning
drivers Of beer wagons unload the kegs at
the different saloons along the BoWery. For
this work they receive the dregs found re-
manning in the kegs OF the day before, which
they collect and sell in these Baxter street
easements. Tramps Of every nationality
congregate In these places and drown their
misery with those stupe1ylng dregs. In the
rear Of the court OF Bottle Alley" were found
little houses, two and three stories high,
where men aud women were huddled together
like cattle. The vilest filth that ever offended
human nostTil covered the paving -stoneS
and even the door-siiis. Besotted women lay
as they had fallen, half In the middle OF the
floor and half under bed, with their more
sober companions sitting about them. In
spector Duffy, In spite Of a sickening odor,
went down into sub-cellar and called TO the
reporter to follow him. The place had evi-
IDENTIFY been used for 9 closet. Ia the dim
light could be seen the swollen legs Of ,
head and shoulders were hidden behind q
barrel. On listening, all that could be heard
was steady and resonant snore. Violent
shaking failed to awaken her.

Prince Jerome Lays Claim 70 the
leadership Of the Imperialists.
His Platform-No Plots Against the
Republic as Long as the People
of France Support 1t.

PARIS July 1s.--.A delegation Of Bonapart-
,ats from Marseilles, Lyons, and other cities
II Southern France to-day waited on Prince
Jerome Napoleon, and were received by MIN
IN large saloon Of his residence, They pre-
sented him with an address accepting him as
the legal head OF the Bonaparte family and
riohtful leader of the Imperial party. In re-
ply the Prince read an address, which had
evidently been carefully studied and pre-
pared. He declared himself to be the head OF
the Bonapartist family and dynasty. This,
he said, was by no act OF his own; It was
simply the result of the rules Of succession
established by Napoleon l, and now brought
to bear In his own case by the death Of the
late Prince Imperial in Africa. AS head Of
the family and dynasty he would know how
to fulfill his duties, and he trusted that In the
end the verdict OF posterity would be that ne
Gischarged them well and faithfully; but, he
continued he must be allowed 10 choose his
own time In all his actions, and TO await the
ent, by right the legal government OF the
country, and 30 long as it's administrators
preserved the confidence Of the people BY
] peaceable and legal means. 1t was the duty OF
Frenchmen to support 1t. As the chief OF the
Bonapartist family I emphatically oppose
and discountenance, he said every intrigue
which may be set on foot for the purpose OF
placing Bonapartists In a position incor'..
sistent with their origin, their duties and
their causes. The address was received with
many expressions OF appreciation by the dele
gation. After this formal interchange OF sen
timent, the Prince entertained the delegates
fr some time and conversed with them In
formally upon the present and future pros
poets of the party. It is understood that the
party OF the Prince has received, within the

Two Lives saved BY Collie Dog.
Manchester lEn9.) Guardian.

Two farm laborers near Stonehaven found
the other night, while fishing beneath the
rocks near the farm, that the rising tide had
separated them from ths shore. Neither
could SWIM and they despaired OF their lives
until one thought OF sending to the farm y
with them. A message was written, inform-
ing their friends OF their perilous position,
and fastened to the dogs collar. The dog
was then put into the sea and the captIves
had the pleasure OF seeing him swim straight
to land and run off In the direction OF the
farm house The paper having been observed,
a messenger was sent to fishing village
about two miles off for assistance, and q boat,
which was pulled around the rock, rescued
the men.
