EDISON ELECTRIC LIGHT.

A Successful Experiment Last Evening
Preparations Completed for Lighting
Public Streets and Private Dwellings In
New York.
New YORK, April 16 The first public ex-
hbition of the Edison electric light in this
city was given last evening at the headquarters
of the Edison Electric Lighting company, on
Fifth avenue, near Fourteenth street. The
outside of the house appeared brilliantly illu-
minated with gas. The blending rays
naturally expected from electric lamps
being wanting, several of the rooms
on different floors were supplied
with electric lamps from which soft white
light Yves emitted. In the hall at the foot of
the stairs were two clusters on standards, one
being on either side, and single lamps were
supported on brackets on the walls. Edison
and several of his assistants, formerly with
him at Menlo park, received those who called
and explained the intetesting features of
the light and answered questions
When Edison was asked if a single
light could be turned off he went to q single
lamp in the hall and turned the lamp out
with thumb screw. By reversing the move
ment he turned it on again. Preparations
were making, Edison said, for putting in the
company's lamps in that quarter of the city
extending from Spruce and Wall street and in
cluded between Nassau street and East river.
We shall compete with the gas company, he
said. Wires have already been put into forty
houses

Malone Rep,tdtated.

WASHINGTON, April ia delegation of
Virginia Republicans, headed by Congressman
Jorgensen, called on the President to-day, and
begged him not TO recognize Malone, or to
encourage any Republican coalition with him.
Representative Jorgensen was the principal
speaker, and he assured the President the Vir-
ginia Republicans will not form any coalition
with Malone. He said the Republicans want
straig t-cut Republican ticket, and any at
tempt to force an alliance with Malone will be
fatal to the Republican party. Jorgensen
states that a straight Republican convention
will be held in ninety days to nominate a
straight Republican ticket for State officers in
Virginia; that it was intended to nominate
Gen. Wlckham for governor, but business
prevented him from running, and the present
purpose is to nominate Col. Mosby, the new
consul at Hong Kong. Instead of appointing
more readjusters the delegation urged the
President to remove those now holding Office.
The President said he you'd thoroughly con-
slider the question and act for the best good of
the Republican party. Jorgensen thinks they
have stopped any chance Of affliation with
Malone,

Garfield and COnkIing.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The editor of a
prominent New Jersey Republican paper in
Jersey City had long talk with the President
to-day on the subject of Robertson's nomina-
tion. He says the President will neither with
draw Robertson nor consent to any sort of a
compromise; that the President says that it is
a case to test whether the executive or the leg
islative power of the government controls nom.
nations of officials, and the matter
had better be decided at the very
commencement of the administration;
that the presidant didn't want to open any
fight, but as it is made, he thinks the sooner it
is decided the better. He says the President is
determined u recognize all elements of the
Republican party, and will not be driven from
that policy. The gentleman says further, that
the advises Of the administration are that Conk.
ling will not seek to smother Robertson IS nom-
ination in the committee, but that he proposes
to make a square fight relying upon the
Senate to sustain him, that Conkling
will try to get an adverse report on
Robertson from the commerce committee and
submit this report to the Senate with speech
endorsing it. Three member of the COM
merce committee are openly favorable to
Robertson's confirmation, but it is probable
that majority will agree to report adversely.
The President and cabinet are desirous of hav-
ing some nominations confirmed and it is
generally stated and believed tonight that an
executive session will be held about next
Tuesday

End of the New York Contest in the Bad
Defeat Of Slosson, the Champion,
New YORK, April 15.-schaeffer, 5000
points, Slosson, 2,6SS. Such was the condi-
tion of the 1000 points game begun last Mon
day and ended tonight. When Schaeffer step
ped to the table this evening, at the call of
the umpire, and finished the run which the
500 as total interrupted lastevening, Schaef-
fer added thirty-seyen to his score
son, whose umpire, Sexton, had not yet ar.
rived. Slosson made one out of the leave, and
Schaeffer gathered in fifteen more. In the
third inning neither OF the players scored. At
the end of the fourth inning Referee Kavanagh
called upon Sexton to make his presence
known if he was in the building. There was
no response. Schaefer in the sixth inning
failed to count. Slosson then made
sixteen, every shot calling forth
with 20, and Slosson was kissed out after
minor play. Schaeffer added 30 to his score.
He captured the people by his play, and was
applauded enthusiastically.
Slosson knew nothing short of a miracle
could save his defeat, and he played badly. Be-
fore he began to play he remarked with sick
ly smile it was his duty to be pleasant at his
own funeral, it was forlorn hope.
schaefier got the balls together and left
Schaeffer begun this run with open play, made
16, and then, as it were, thought he
would try the rail. The balls were not of the
same mind, yet Schaeffer nursed them care
fully to so. He was struggling for the top
rail, and though he did not get the balls ex-
actly as he wanted them, he had them in fair
shape when he had made so, and he secured
them in perfect shape at 104; he turned to the
left cushion and quickly added 100 points
rail three times. At BOG count
he scattered the balls, and, after
making 81 missed a long cushion carom. In
the next inning but one he made 213, mostly
from rail play, and he was then 1,167 points
ahead and shortly afterwards he made runs of
55 and 156 and won the match by ], ,220 points,
The following is the score of last nights

The Tribune says as to schaeffer's future, it

would not accept any challenges to play in
America. 1t is his intention to challenge
Vignaux, the French expert, to play match
in London.

NIHIL1sTs HUNG.


ST. PETERSBURG, April 15-All the nihil
lists except the woman Hoffman, condemned tc
death for connection with the cars assassina
tion, were hung at 10 o'clock this morning.
The appeals of Roussakof and Machaielof
were submitted to the czar, but he replied the
sentence of the court must be carried out.
The condemned were escorted from the
fortess to the place of execution by Cossacks
and infantry, with drums beating and flies
playing. Detachments of all regiments of
guards in st. Petersburg surrounded the scaf-
fold.. All the prisoners received the mluistra.
tion of priests, and kissed the cross and each
other. They were very firm except Roussa-
kof, who tainted at the last moment.
After hanging twenty minutes the bodies
were cut down and taken to the cemetery out
side the city.
Many thousands of people passed the night
at the place of execution in order to obtain q
good view. The execu.ioneo was a reprieved
convict. The prisoners were conveyed from
the fortress in two carts with their backs to
the horses, and hands tied to boards on their
breasts bearing the word "Regicide' in large
letters.
When the prisoners mounted the scaffold
the head of each was covered with a sack.
They were placed upon stools, which were
drawn away and they were left to struggle.

CHARLIE ROSS.

The Famous Boy Now appears at Laugh
ton, Esser, d-Ctrcmnsstances O
the Present Discovery.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March ia yer
liable trail for the recovery of the long
lost Charlie Ross is thought to have beer
discovered at last. Col. John W. Forney
has received two letters--one from g. W
Kingsbury, and the other from Robert
Benjamin Hugman, of Boston--giving
some information relative to the abduc-
tion. Mr.. Hugman states that he OBJ
served paragraph in San Antonio
Tex, paper, of Feb. II, to the effect that
Charlie Ross had not yet been found
While he was under the impression that
the child had been returned to his pa
rents, this notice recalled to the
mind of Mr.. Hugman matter
that had come under his observa-
tion previous to the 25th of February,
while he and his family were residing at
Laughton, Essex, twelve miles northeast
of London. His two youngest children
went to a school there, which was attend
ed by very pretty boy of about 9 years
Of age, who was called George" by the
woman with whom he lived, but who fire.
quently said that his name was Charlie
Ross; that the women was not his mother
and that he was brought over from Amer
lea in big ship. The boy claimed that
his mother wasa lady. Mr.. Hugman says
that the boy answers to the description Of
the lost Charley, and that he left the vii
lage some time ago, 1t was understood,
with the intention of being sent home.
Mr.. Kingsbury vouches for the reliability
of Mr.. Hugman, and states that when
he was stopping at Laughton about a
year ago he had his attention
called to the boy, but paid no particular
attention to the matter, as he supposed
the Philadelphia boy had been found.
Mrs Hugman had told the writer that the
woman who had the boy in charge always
wore veil, her excuse being that her
husband was abroad, and that she had
taken VOW not to show her face to pub
lie until he returned. Mr.. Kingsbury
concludes as follows: ga little before my
visit, referred to, the boy was taken away,
and, some months after, the woman her.
self moved to another town, only few
miles away, and, as we write, we do not
know whether the boy is with her or not,
or whether the taking away was only
blind or ruse played by the woman or not,
but Mr.. Hugman will visit the locality to-
and find out whether the child
is with her or not. Atany rate, l have
hardly any doubt but that this was and is
the veritable Charlie Ross, and that, if he
has been taken away, the woman could
tell all about it. If we make any new
discoveries we will write or cable you as
soon as made"

-iGI.icultural ReDOrt.

WASHINGTON, April 15,-The reports of
April 1st, received at the department of agri
culture, show all increase of nearly 4 per cent.
in the area sown to winter wheat Kansas and
Missouri show the largest increase; Ohio and
Illinois but slight, and New York and Pennsyl-
vanla the same as last year. Indiana, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Virginia each report
some decrease, owing to the prevalence of
snow at the date of returns. The condition of
the crop was not given in large portions of
the principal wheat growing States, but
wherever mentioned 1t was stated as below the
average of last year. The alternate freezing
and thawing during the month of March was
the most detrimental Of all the weather during
the winter. The live stock of the country,
Notwithstanding the scarcity of food and
provender caused by the long and severe win
ter, has come out in fair health, though re-
ported very low in flesh. No malignant nor
prevailing disease is reported over any large
extent of country, although local disorders of
lungs and stomach are often mentioned. Great

and in the adjoining town lies two foot deep,
with good sleighing.
BosToN, April 15.-There was severe storm
all along the coast last night, and this morn
ing several vessels were reported ashore
New YORK, April 15.--Reports of incoming
craft show that the storms prevailing are even
worse than those of mid-winter and have been
universal in destruction and range. Vessels
from the South American coast and Bermudas
have been caught in gales almost without ex-
ception, some of them being partially wrecked
and others suffering terrible hardships. Some
vessels are ashore on the Jersey coast.

THE WEEKS FAILURES.

A Decrease as Compared With Preceding
Points, Especially i'm the West and
South.
New YORK, April 15.-Bradstreet reports
1O6 failures last week, the lowest weekly rec
ord for several months past. Yet the import
auce of some of the failures was greater than
usual. The decrease compared with reports of
the preceding week is seventeen. 1t is plain
from the decreasing number of failures in the
West and South that the Ill effects of the long
and severe winter in the West and Northwest
are rapidly passing away, and that the
Southern trade situation is improving.
In New England, and particularly Massachu-
sets, an increase of failures among manufac-
lures is noted. Twenty eight failures are re-
ported in these States against twelve the pre-
ceding week. The Middle States had twenty
two, decrease of six. In the Western States
there were thirty-two,a a decrease of twenty
three. The Southern States present twenty
six decreases. Canada and the provinces had
eight, decrease of two.

idle. The strikers met to night with large
attendance. The speeches were moderate in
tone. They resolved to avoid violence and to
stand firm. The consolidated lines IN Cincin-
natl work the men fifteen hours daily, and pay
prices ranging from ten to twelve cents an
hour. The Newport companies work the men
seventeen and half hours and pay within
fraction of nine cents per hour. The Coving-
ton cars run the same time
The strikers threw four or five cars off the
track to-day and made the drivers 60 home
with the horses. They also stood guard at
the stables and prevented cars leaving. No
personal violence was used and no collision
has been had with the police. The people

strikers, but disapprove throwing cars into
the cutters. The crowd of strikers at Foun-
tain Square and vicinity, where the lines
center, were immense, but very quiet and or
derly. The railroad authorities will not answer
till their meeting, Monday. Contributions of
