Connolly Corners a stiff.

Jack Connolly is Superintendent of the
Sanitary Police, and as matter of course
is always on the scent OF anything that
may be lying around loose. Late last night
Jack and one of his assistants were peram-
bulating the streets in the Eastern part of
the city-going along discussing the Chi
nese question. Jack expressed himself in
favor OF dumping the whole kit of Chinese
in the Mclean avenue sewer. Jack came
to sudden halt, and, elevating his nose,
began snuffing the air. Putting his mouth
close to his assistants ear, he whispered;
Johnny, do yees smill that smill?"
The assistant took long whiff and sue
ceeded in getting into his nostrils some
thing which didn't have exactly the correct
odor.
"Ye smill it, don't veY' said Jack. ~
thought ye wud. What dye 'spose it isT'
II give it up" said Johnny.
Johnny, my boy" continued Jack in a
| whisper, that there's the smell of stiff,
and it's in this vicinity-now mark what
tell you!"
Jack made his way very carefully to an
alley, down which he went in the dark,
running against an ash-barrel here and up
setting garbage-box there when, all of a
sudden, he stepped upon something that
made the cold chills creep all over his body
Jack didn't stop to see what he had trod-
den on, but came out of that alley like a
Comanche Indian on the warpath. Lights
were procured, and with heavy reinforce
ment Jack went back to the horrible scene
There lying stretched across the alley was a
great big ugly, shaggy-haired Newfound-
land dog in decomposed condition.

PENNY PAPERS.
One of Their Founders Dies Neglected
i'm the Hospital.

National Associated Press to the Star
New YoRK, Feb. 26.-Horatio Davis Shep-
hard, ID, aged seventy, founder of the
first penny newspaper in New York, died
at st. Luke's Hospital at midnight Monday
Of pneumonia, complicated by disease of
the heart. His only relative known to be
living is cousin, Caleb SHEPPARD, at Shi-
lob, N. J. He appears to have dropped out
of sight of his friends, for none called at the
Hospital to visit him, and his body is still
unclaimed.
In 1881 he conceived the idea of penny
newspaper. He visited the office of the
Spirit OF the Times, which had but recently
been established. Horace Greeley was then
journeyman printer on that journal, and
Francis Story was foreman in the compos-
ing room. Greeley was not in when the
Doctor called, but he came in soon after
ward.
Sheppard unfolded his scheme and was
laughed at by everybody present. Greeley,
Story & Sheppard started the Morning Post
on New Years Day, 1888, at two cents, but
it would not pay at that price, and on the
third week the price was reduced to one
cent and the sales were good, but it was too
late, as their capital was expended, and the
paper failed. Nine months later the Sun
appeared in this city as a penny newspaper.
In 1880 a penny paper, "The Cent" was
published in Philadelphia, and later an
other in Boston called The Bostonian; but
they were mainly gotten up by unemployed
printers, and could scarcely be regarded as
newspapers, much of their space being de-
voted to cheap and ordinary literature. In
1S41 Horace Greeley seems to have become
convert to DR.. Shephard's idea, for in that
year he issued the prospectus of the Tribune
at one cent a copy.

RECEPTION AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The President
last night gave a grand reception to the
diplomatic corps. Hundreds of invitations
were issued, and a jam of Washington float
ing society filled the White House. The
President, as heretofore on several occa-
sions, snubbed the representatives of the
press in Washington. Against this frater-
nifty he draws the line. 1t is the only class
of persons in Washington that he has treat
ed in this way. In excuse he informs those
correspondents with whom he is on good
terms that he takes this method of exclud-
ing certain ones that he dislikes. He says
he would not take the responsibility OF
drawing the line within the fraternity.
The leading correspondents at the capital
feel the insult cast upon the profession,
and by it Mr.. Hayes has lost some OF his
most valued personal friends among these
gentlemen.
THE POTTER COMMITTEE.
The Potter Committee consulted about
the forthcoming reports to be submitted to
the House. Mr.. Potter has the majority
report nearly completed. Mr.. Butler gave
notice that he would submit report of his
own. 1t will be an arraignment of the Ad-
ministration. The minority will claim that
nothing has been proved, except that Til
den's friends tried to buy the Presidency,
and that Tilden was aware of these transac-
tions at the time. The majority report
will cite the numerous instances where the
men who aided in the theft of the Presi-
dency have been rewarded in the shape OF
offices. 1t will recount John Sherman's
evasive manner of dealing with the charges
against himself. The conclusions to be
drawn by the Democrats are not yet incor-
porated in the report. In fact there will
first be meeting to decide upon this fea-
tllre of the report

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Mrs. Maria Crilly
worked hard, and rented rooms at 1876 Van
Buren, street until she had saved thousands
of dollars, which she carried constantly
about her in an old quilted skirt. Monday
night two young men called to look at the
rooms, threw her down, took the skirt with
the money and escaped. The police expect
to catch them.
Prof. Swing antagonizes the position OF
Beecher and Cook in advocating unre-

THE RAILROAD TELEGRAPH.
Gen. Butler Explains its Merits
and Workings.
National Associates. Press to the Star.

National Associates. Press TO the Star.
New YoRK, Feb. 26.-A Herald reporter
mterviewed General Butler at Washington
yesterday on the subject OF the railroad
telegraph with the following result:
Reporter-It is said the Western Union
has contracts with the railroads that they
shall not transmit any telegraphic messages
over the lines of railroads other than under
the direction of the Western Union.
General Butler-Ies; | understand that
to be SO. That was discussed before the
Senate Committee, and there are many an
swers to that claim of the effect of the con-
tracts which are very plain even to an un-
professional man. The first is. that without
any legislation many respectable Courts have
doubted whether such contracts are not
void as against public policy. The Supreme
Court has decided that State has no
power to make law to prevent the trans
mission over railroad by telegraph COM
pany of telegrams and in the second place,
The transmission of kilograms being now
authorized by an amendment, would re-
move all doubts as to a contract made by a
railroad company and post road not to
transmit intelligence, being against public
policy Consider moment: suppose the
Western Union, wishing to monopoize all
intelligence, should make contract with
all the railroads that they would not
transmit any mail matter, such as letters,
would anybody doubt that such a
contract was void, as against public policy,
and that they could not he held by such a
contract any longer than they chose and
that they could be compelled to choose
otherwise by the General Government?
Suppose railroads should combine to-
gether with the telegraph companies, not TO
transmit Government kilograms at all, 80
that the Government here at Washington,
its center, could not reach its subordinates,
civil or military, would such con-
tract as that stand? Indeed, there
was not Senator who ar
Eued the question who did not admit that
my amendment was fulland complete au-
thorization to railroads to 60 into
the telegraphic business, or, indeed,
rs Mr.. Howe, of Wisconsin, very good
lawyer, expressed it, a charter of railroads
for that purpose. Mr.. Edmunds, Chairman
Of the Judiciary Committee, said that was
the exact effect of the amendment and he
voted against it on that account. Mr..
Thurman claimed that that was the effect
of it in substance, and Conkling, although
eontesting virtually in behalf of the West
ern Union, admitted that was the effect of
the amendment, and have seen no lawyer
who doubted it.
Reporter-Then you think you won q
great victory?
Butler-Yes | do, in behalf of cheap
Transmission of intelligence, commercial
and otherwise, for the people.
