HOW A RICH WOMAN LIVES IN
NEW YORK.

HOW A RICH WOMAN LIVES IN
NEW YORK.
New York Cor. Pittsburg Telegraph.
When l came past Mrs. Stewards
marble mansion, at the corner of
Thirty-Fourth street and Fifth ave-
nue., the other night, 1 thought that
no tomb could be quiet; there was
but one apartment lit up, to all ap-
pearances, and in the moonlight of
the May evening the place seemed
indeed "whited sepulchre," given
over to ghouls and private watch
men. One Of the latter genius is on
special duty every night, and make
his rounds, as precaution against
fire or robbers, from O'Clock p. m.
until early morning. Since Stewart
died, the bed-chamber wherein he
breathed his last has been unoccu-
pied, the widow preferring to climb
one flight of stairs rather than sleep
in room full of such mournful assO-
Citations. She resides alone, attend
ed only by servants, and every night
goes up to the third story where her
own room now is. On the second
floor there is only one bedroom
that in which the merchant prince
died-the rest Of the apartments
consisting of library and living
rooms. Mrs. Stewart has discarded
mourning habiliments altogether,
although she is 80 years of age, and
goes to dinner parties attired in gar
net velvet, and wearing diamonds
that flashed so that a guest said the
other evening that no electric lights
are needed when the Widow Stewart
is present. Her diamond solitaire
earrings are not only twenty-five
carats fine, but are remarkable from
the fact of being without a flaw /;
they are literally "gems Of purest
ray serene" Mrs. Stewart has also
prided herself on her figure, which
is indeed very youthful and well
proportioned, and now she looks
younger than ever because of wear
ing a coiffure made in one piece by
a skillful manufacturer of wigs, who
has studied the most becoming to the
perennial Cornelia. Mrs. Stewart is
a woman of much goodness OF heart,
bnt she has certain weaknesses in
respect to dressing more youthfully
than a person should at her time of
life. However, she is mistress of
her own actions. | saw her tripping
along on Judge Hilton's arm at Sara
toga last summer; they had been
dining with a party, including Mrs.
Stewards niece, Mrs. Smith of Long
Island, at the Windsor Hotel, and
were returning thence to the Grand
Union. Mrs. Stewart had already
relinquished Grape and bombazine fol
fiounces and white flowers and Other
insignia Of hall mourning, and die
not appear altogether inconsolable
She is very near-sighted, but other
wise seems as little like woman o
four-score as can be imagined. She
told friend the other day that hel
late husbands remains had never
been found, the impression to the
contrary notwithstanding.

THE NEWS AS 1T COMES FROM THAT
.PLACE-ExTRA MEETINGs--RACINe

Regular Correspondence OF the Gazette.
NEWARK, June 10th.
Rev. John France began holding re-
ligious meetings in tent in the rear
of the M. e. church last evening, and
will continue on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, and if the pros
poets are encouraging they will be con-
tinued.
The Newark correspondent of E0ery
EDening says in his items of the 7th
inst, that the strawberry festival held
by the members of the M E. church
only realized $1.10, whereas it was
$1,000. We know not whether it
was the compositor's or correspon-
dents mistake, but before such ridicu-
lous figures as those are published
there should be a certainty about it.
Nearly every Sunday evening Main
street is made the scene of racing by
some of the young country bloods on
their way home from church. Iftheir
is any law in Newark for such things
it is about time it was put in force, be-
fore some one is run over.
The news of Stephen ]. Gilbert s
death was received here with univer-
sal sorrow and regret. Mr.. Gilbert
had made many friends in Newark,
and would have received a good ma
.jority here for the Office he was an as
plrant for if he had been permitted to
live.
The racing at Homewood Driving
Park as predicted was very interesting
six heats being trotted in the 2.55 race
before it could be decided. Alex.
Maxwell, of Middletown, had one of
the wheels of his sulkey demolished
while driving in the colt race.
Mr.. Thomas Gibson, one of the
Democratic candidates for Coroner,
was in Newark last week looking af-
ter his interests in that direction.
While here he visited Oriental Lodge.
Since the above was written we have
learned that three more of the would
be Coroners were also here on the same
errand.
The Academy will close its exercises
for the summer next Friday evening
with soiree in the College Oratory.
The army worm has reached this
section, coming by the thousands, cov-
ering the fences, trees, ETC., in every
direction.
The dining room in the Deer Park
Hotel has been newly papered. The
papering was done by Wilmington
workmen.
The Citizens Cornet Band have de-
cided to take an excursion this year
to Colchester Beach, on the Chesa-
peake Bay, on or about June 26th.
The plan proposed is to take the cars
at Newark at about 7.30 a. m, leav-
ing the cars at Elkton and boarding a
steamer one hour later. A good time
is promised to all who go with them.
The news of General Garfield's &
nomination was received here with
quiet satisfaction. Many rejoiced
over Grants defeat.
DIR. Kollock and wife are expected
home in a day or two from their bridal
tour.

excursion in Contemplation in short
time.

$l00 0DO, 1000, $50 900, $20IOO0, ETC., are
captured by individuals without any rule
of periodicity beyond the certainty that
some one Will draw them on the certain

Contention Notes.

The Princess Louise, speaking of the
convention, said: "We were very much
entertained and delighted. 1t happened
so opportunely, our coming along just
at this time. We were glad of an oppor
tunity to see the primary gathering of
gentleman who select your ruler. can
hardly describe in few words the feel
ings l experienced. To think that right
there in Chicago, business was going on
as usual, no undue excitement, and that
in the large building few men Qor
they are but a few OF your vast popula-
tion) were having debating society
that was making your ruler. You
know it is so different from what we
have been accustomed to-"
Senator Edmund in answering ques-
ton from stranger who did not know
him said ON Monday: "Edmunds has
not sought the nomination, and told
his people in Vermont that the did not
want it. Nor does he want it now, and
cares nothing about it."
Ex-Governor Pinchback of Louisiana
has little white in bis dark straight hair
and beard, and he is so light of COM
plexion that few who are attracted
toward him by his manner of dress and
conversation would at first sight think
that be is colored man.
When asked If he wanted special
wire from Chicago, General Grant said:
II think shall be satisfied with the
ordinary sources of information"
The Chicago Tribune says of Senator
Conkling: "If he were an uglier man he
would be a good proxy for he is the
embodiment of sneer set on garish
courtesy. When matters are distasteful
to him, or he is close pressed, he waves
1t all aside and devotes himself to the
gallery, where he knows he has con-
stituency of hero-worshipers and lion
hunters.

A SCENE AT THE POLICE HEAR
INGS THIS MORNING.

A SCENE AT THE POLICE HEAR
INGs THIS MORNING.
At the police hearings before the
the Mayor, this morning, John and
Bridget Dongherty, of Hedgeville,
were arraigned on the charge of be-
ing drunk and dlsorderly. These
are the same parties who were ar
raigned but a short time ago, on
complaint of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, for
maltreating their children.
1t appears that on Monday last
Dougherty received his pay, since
which time he and his wife have
been continually drunk, and yester-
day they became so disorderly, and
beat their children in such an un-
merciful manner, that the neighbors
entered complaint at the police
office, and warrants were issued for
their arrest.
Last evening Chief Maxwell, arm
ed with the warrant, and accom-
panied by officers Brickle, Carey,
Chambers and Pardee, proceeded to
Dougherty's honse, and after forcing
an entrance, a scene of squalor was
presented to their sight, which is
seldom equalled, even in the lowest
haunts of humanity. The husband
was sitting on the floor, half clothed,
in a helpless state Of intoxication,
while the wife was in about the same
condition. Some Of the children had
been put to bed, while others were
in the room half naked.
The officers had considerable trou-
BILE in getting their prisoner to the
hall, and it was about 1890 O'Clock
before clothing could be found for
the children. After getting them to
the hall the children were at once
fed, and were also furnished with
breakfast this morning.
The first witness called was Sarah
A. Nugent, who testified that during
the afternoon she was sitting on her
steps reading, and one of the little
BOYS ran to her, and told her that his
mother was beating the children.
She went to the house to endeavor
to stop the proceedings, when both
of the Doughertys called her all the
vile names that they could think of.
The mother was beating Patrick
later in the afternoon to such an eX-
tent that the neighbors thought she
was killing him, and were going to
burst open the doors.
Lizzie Heritage testified that she
saw Mrs. Dougherty beating little
Johnny around the yard with a club.
She also put him in a tub of water
and held his head under the water
for some time, and when she released
him he cried out to his mother not
to smother him.
Isabella Graham corroborated the
testimony of the preceding witness.
Chief Maxwell testified as to
the condition in which he found the
house and the inmates.
The Mayor required each of the
defendants to pay SIS and costs.

THE RADICALS CHEERING FOR GAR
FIELD AND ARTHUR.

FIELD AND ARTHUR.
A hum of voices, sound of half
strained eloquence, and an occasion
al genuine African shout of applause
showed that something unusual was
going on at Radical headquarters
(Lincoln Club room, last night. And
such was the fact. The local Repub-
licans wanted to get up little en-
thusiasm over the incongruous ticket
nominated at Chicago, and SO they
prepared ratification meeting on a
small scale, which came off in the
Lincoln Club room last night.
The usual audience, white and
black, assembled, and Washington
Hastings opened the ball with a lit
tie speech, in which he introduced
John Fl. Adams as President of the
meeting, who made another little
speech retrospective in character,
in which he alluded to similar
meeting held twenty years ago, to
ratify the nomination of Lincoln,
who was also nominated at Chicago.
Afterwards other addresses were
made by Anthony Higgins, Benz
Nields and s. A. Macallister, Esqs.,
all Of whom praised the great and
goood Garfield, but had very little
to say about Arthur who was liter
ally kicked out of office by Hayes
and Sherman. Major Macallister
made little exception in favor of
Gen. Arthur, and awarded him the
following meek tribute of praise:
81 have heard some disparaging
remarks of Arthur. What has he
done? If he has committed any
crime it has simply been friendship
to General Grant [applause and as
serting his political inclinations in
defiance of the orders of the Presi-
dent. That very order has been
dropped to the ground as an insult
that a free people would not bear
That and that only is mis- crime. He
is an active Republican, voting in
his party, and stands the peer of any
man in it."
Washington Hastings made few
closing remarks, and after the adop-
ton of a motion to ratify the nomi.
nations the meeting adjourned.
