Pnlmer's Statement
NEWARK, N. j., December 27.-The
Mayor, with several city officials, including
members of the Finance Committee, Wis
tied the jail this morning,to confer with
Palmer concerning his defaleation. His
counsel refused to permit sn interview, but
Mr. Walden, Examiner of Accounts,
who saw Palmer. stated that
he denied having forged the signatures
OF Mayor Clark or the City Council, but adj,
mitted he deceived them in order to obtain
their signatures to warrants. Such state-
mentS Of claims as were necessary
to obtain their, signatures were
concocted and afterwards destroyed.
He protested that no one was in collusion
with him. The City Treasurer always
took his word and acted on his instructions
and was !. deceived as other officials
were. Mr.. Walden says there
are other peculations il the
sinking fund, interest assessment,
deficiency and tax-lease accounts which he
has not examined sufficiently to report on
in detail. Palmer knew of Halls de-
falcations in the Comptroller's office
but concealed them by manipulations
and to avoid discovery. Walden
thinks they knew too much
of each other fofeither to speak, and Palmer
Is represented I'd have said that he hoped
the Legislature would pass law to try all
defaulters by drumhead court martial and
shoot them on the spot. The Mayor, has
offered $500 reward for the capture Of Hall.

DOLCE FAB MEN

DOLCE FAR NlENTE.
The day o'erbrims with splendor like rose,
| No hint Of storm is in the far off sky;
| I watch the blue sea as it comes and goes
Beneath my eye.
Towards the mirroring waters slowly dips
| The broad-winged gull, and, rising, seawart
glides,
Toward the city toll the laden ships
On favoring tides.
There comes to me the tumult of the keys;
The murmur of the m6rts, and scents which
bear
Me into zones where every passing breeze
Is sweet snare,
A lure to languor All, but what of this?
must the sweet spell shattsr and away;
And, midst the mart's toll, where gray Duty is
Wear out the day.
For Duty saith, life is too real a thing
To waste in worthless ways; for bread men
moan
For soul and body bread-twere shame to bring
Them but stone"
glance down shamefaced WISE "Tis true" /
sigh
Then goldenly the sun gilds dome and spire,
And then an oriole goes sparkling by,
A winged fire.
And fair city of long dead day
Beameth before me, and the gleam of gear;
Broad shield and billowy plume, and banneret
gay,
And l1ssome spear.
Leashed hound and hooded hawk and rare
robed DANES,
And nights who curb tall steeds; and to my
ear,
'ssir Launcelot! Sir Galahad!' = glorious names,
The soft winds bear
And the sound stirs my soul as doth the air
A slumbering Tyre. and, come whatever may,
Am 1 lost to the world and all its care
For one brief day.
And, gathering glory in the tourney field,
Will forget my time and be as one
Who weareth mail, and beareth lance and
shield
Till set of sun.
And winneth glance of damosels whose lips,
AS they would fain be kist, smile down on
him;
ships
The ocean skim.
So will have one joyous holiday.
Despite of men, and marts and mercha ndise =;
A little tide in pleasant fields to stray,
Meath cloudless skies.

THE MISSING BULLET FoUND.-Dis-
trict Attorney Corkhill has found the
missing ballet which was fired at the
President, and for which there has been
so much search. 1t appears that Ger
man glaZier who traverses the streets
repairing windows went into the depot
to get ten dollars changed on Satur-
day morning. He was standing in
the main room, some forty feet from
where the assassin stood, and in SOUTH
east direction. He had commenced to
unstrap his box in which he carried
glass, and had got one strap off his
shoulder when he heard the noise OF the
pistol, and Immediately three panes of
glass in his box were shattered. He at
once rushed from the depot, thinking
it no place for safety. On Saturday
week he was cleaning cut his boz, and
found the ball in his putty. He was
narrating the fact to his friends, when
one of them told him that was the time
when the President was shot, and
brought him to the District Attorneys
office, where he made his statement and
gave up the ball. He thinks it was the
first shot that broke the glass, but says
they were so close together that he had
not time to get away. His position
confirms the statement of Senior Ca
mancho, Venezuelan minister, as to the
exact position of the assassin at the time
of firing the shot.

A NEW COUNTERFEIT.-An new and
dangerous counterfeit silver dollar is
now in circulation in Pennsylvania.
The West Chester LocW Ncars says:
1.-THE imitation of the genuine silver
dollar is in all respects perfect, show
ing that the machinery used is Of high
order. The metal is the only mark by
which the spurious character can be
told, it being of a white tinge, IN no
way resembling the silver used in the
genuine. What this composition con-
sists of has not been decided upon by
experts, but it does not require all ex-
pert to detect the metallic impurity Of
the spurious dollar.u

The New York Herald urges the aps
pointment of police to run on the trains
between that city and ceney Island to
suppress disorder and rowdy som. 1t
speaks of occurrences which frighten
or disgust entire trainsful," and wants
an officer or two on every train to pre-
serve the peace and enforce good order.
This is in the sanity North. In the
turbulent" South there is no necessity
travel alone with the utmost impunity.
From the Potomac to the Rio Grande
they would meet with only courtesy
and respectful attention. Disorder on
railroad train in the South is of the
rarest occurrence. Yet the leading pa
per of the country calls for the appoint
ment of officers of the law to run on
certain Northern trains. Comment is
unnecessary. .-Lynchdarg Ne,cs.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY AT Luz
RAY.-The 21st inst. was day that will
be memorable in the annals of Luray.
The excursion OF the mem bers of Post
pol, G. A. r., of Carlisle, Pa, was met
at Luray by an assemblage of between
800 and 1000 persons, and was well
coined in an address by Dr. j. HI. Smoot,
Mayor.
This was followed by an address of
welcome on the part of the ex.Confed-
crates by Captain Andrew Broadus, who
said in substance:
Thanks to the ruling of the God of
battles. we meet to- day in peace. We
who wore the gray are here to greet
you who wore the blue with a cordial
welcome. and together to bury in the
grave Of oblivion whatever remem-
brance of our internecine war that may
yet linger in any mind"
