The Orangemen of this city and BROOKLYN
will observe the twelfth of July this year
| with even less pOmp than on previous occa-
sions.s Heretofore, 1t has been their custom to
celebrate the anniversary either with a
parade, as In 1870 and 1871, or in Its stead to
and there in the service of prayer and praise,
| to do honor to their cause and to the memory
of King William. This year the usual COM
memorative service was held in the Emanuel
little building prettily decorated with Ameri-
can flags and two large bouquets of flowers
adorned the altar. Delegations from various
lodges marched to the church, where an appro-
pirate sermon was preached. On Saturday

sion up the Hudson river to celebrate the an
niversary OF the battle of the Boyne.
BAD CRIMINAL RECORD.
New YORK, July THE criminal record
of this vicinity for the past three days has
been exceptionable In its ghastliness. Drunk

mour murder.

LIEUT.. GOV. DoRsHEIMER's VIEWS.
A reporter asked Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer
| last evening whether it was probable that the
n nr,xN tod
cratic candidate next year in the national
cOnventiOny
Dorsheim er-That depends entirely on the
| West. II the West could come into the con-
yentlon united on one man, that would settle
| ion In the ranks in the West It is no better
now. Hendricks, Of Indiana, Is strong and
growing stronger. Davis and Thurman have
| their friends, and Ii Ewing carries Ohio he be-
comes participant at once. A new name is
Field, Of the United States Court in CaIifor-
Lila, is being talked of considerably. In view
Of the rivalries further East, it occurs to some
that, it might be good idea to take
name comes instinctively to mind to every one
as filling absolutely the presidential require
ment is that OF Bayard, OF Delaware.
Reporter-In view Of the conflicting reports
Of Mr.. Tilden's health, what Is the fact? Is
he physically sound or weaker?
Dorsheimer-Well, / have not seen much of
Tilden of late, as he has been in New York
and In Albany; but whatever the fact may be,
it Is certain that he has never yet failed to re-
spond to any and all demands made upon
him.
Rep.-That is hardly an answer.
Dorsheimer-Ah, yes, 1t Is reply, at all
events.

HEAVY MAIL.
The mail delivered by letter carriers this |
morning was tremendous. Most of the matter |
had been accumulating In pigeon holes and |
on counters for the past three days, and this |
morning 1t had grown almost unmanageable. |
However, at an early hour, the men got to |
work and soon carriers began to issue forth |
literally loaded. It was at first feared that |
some of the clerks would have to be pressed |
into the letter carriers service. This was |
rendered unnecessary, however, by the car
riers Offering to carry two or three bags full |
of letters. One carrier, after having visited |
some of his largest houses, weighed the bal |
ance OF what he had yet to deliyer-110 pounds |
of matter. It Is estimated that carriers de- |
livered at least 100000 letters this morning.
