Largely Into New fOrk-ltH success IN
Other Places apd TN EsEIand. @
NEw YoRK, September ga new com
pany, the Brush Electric Light Company,
OF New York, has Just been formed for the
purpose Of attempting to extend the use
OF the electric lights in this city and neigh.
'borhood. The company is organized un.
der the laws OF New York State, with a
preliminary paid up capital OF Sl00.0O0,
and the originators represent millions OF
dollars.
Large establishments, where many
lights are needed, are practically the only
places In the city where the electric lights
are used, and according to the ASSERTIONS
OF the persons interested in this enterprise
there are large number Of business men
who favor electric lights and need them in
their establishments but do not want q
large enough number OF lights individu.
ally TO make 1t practicable for them 10 buy
separate generating machines. 1t Is be.
lieyed that with this class OF men there is
large field, aud another field OF even
larger possibilities lies 10 the city parks
and squares OF river fronts.
This company will make use only OF
the Brush system. 1t has bought froin
the Brush Electric Company, OF Cleveland,
o., the exclusive right TO sell and deal on
Manhattan Island In the machines, lights,
carbons, eleCtTo'plating machines, and all
patents held by the Cleveland company.
The following facts with regard TO the
use Of Brush lights in the United States
and England and the immediate plans of
the local company are given by the Off.
GERS. Recent extensive experiments, 1t is
said, have proved that with the Brush
system forty lights can be- supplied by a
single machine In single circuit, and By
grouping five or six machines electricity
sufficient 10 run from 700 70 800 lights Can
be developed. This is an advance, bs.
cause the best results from other systems
only gave One-hali dozen lights from
single machine.
San Francisco 10 using many OF these
lights, and contracts already made will
increase the number TO about 600 by the
middle Of the present winter, and large
contracts for new lights have been made
in Cleveland, st. Louis, Chicago, Detroit
and Grand Rapids.
In England the system has gained a
strong foothoId, through contracts already
signed 10 light the houses Of Parliament,
Oharing Gross Station, Ludgate Hill
Station, BlaCkfriars Bridge, aud st. Paul's
Cburchyard.
The New York company will inmedi.
ately take steps 10 construct a 'plant"
near Madison Square, which square it ex.
poets 10 light, Negotiations for securing
building are nearly completed. Inthe
building will be Corliss steam engines,
and five dynamo electric machines, all Of
which are in process Of construction now.
Probably before the end OF the coming
October the "plAnt" will be in running
order.

NEW YoRx, September 2O,-The Express
says there was new phase today in
pork speculation. The market suddenly
jumped up two dollara per barrel this af.
ternoon with considerable trsnsaCtions at
the advance. The latest quotation for oc-
tober was Sl6 so. At Chicago the market
showed no material change compared
with the rise here, though October deliv.
cry rose there TO $l8 SO. For several
weeks past prices In Chicago have been
s. 90 to 81 90 per barrel above the quota.
tons here, and it Is now said that the Sep.
tember shorts at Chicago. owing TO this
fact, had announced their intention not to
settle their contracts on any such basic,
alleging that the quotations there we're
purely fictitious. ltis also said II mer.
chant wished to purchase lot OF one hun
dred barrels there he could get 1t as low
low as Sl4 90, but II an operator wanted
two hundred and Afty barrels to settle a
e9ptraut the price was s. 90 more. 1t is
further stated that the demonstration
here to-day was solely for the purpose OF
making tho difference in New York and
Chicsgo quotations less marked, and Of
compelling shorts In the latter market to
come to terms.

New YoRE, September 99,-The Tribune
has been investigating tho story cent out
by the National Democratic Committee
that there was in the city Republican
Hancock and English club with MEM
bership OF 5000, and sums up the case as
presented by Its reporters as follows:
The ridiculous pretensions Of Democrats
who claim that there is club OF Hancock
Republicans in this city 5000 strong have
been exposed BY the investigations OF 7ri-
bune reporters. The club which has given
rise to these absurd reports ia an obscure
and weak organization with headquarters
tha. are hard to fad, with very small
membership, estimated by some frank
Democrats at thirty, instead OF 5000, OF
very poor quality. The former Repuhli-
cans who belong to it left their party for
their party's good, and some OF these were
put out. Others OF the members are dyed
in the wool Democrats and old Copper
heads, masqueradiug as Republicans who
cannot consent TO support Garfield. Some
amusing disclosures were made in the
course Of the reporters inquiries.

upon the occasion of the Republican
meeting. Hugh McCulloch, ex.SeCretary
Of the Treasury, presided, and said he
would have not been among hemourners
II Tilden had been elected four years ago.
Change then would have been beneficial;
but change now would result in evil TO the
country. Hayes was no choice OF mine:
but his administration rivals the best, not
excepting the first (prolonced cheers.)
VIM, NJ. Eyarts, Secretary OF State, spoke
at great length op the political situation,
and in the course OF his argument said:
Twenty years ago the people trusted the
country to the Republicans, born OF
patriotism and devoted 10 liberty.
Twenty years ago they thus in-
trusted to the illinois Republican,
Abraham Lincoln. [Cheers ] And sub.
stantially the people OF the country are
to answer to their conscience whether
they repent taking power from Buchanan
and giving power to LtAcoln. Loud ap'
plause Private fault finders in these
twenty years have aired private griev-
ances, but as the great God.fearing people
Of these States read it, II Pennsylvanian
Democracy is restored to poyer It is a YER
dict that the people arc tired Of patriotism
and weary 9t liberty. In these twenty
years this Democratic party has I've times
asked Tor power and tho people have as
many times answered, "NO, never"
