The Ticket Slaughter.

There were no new developments in
the passenger war between the trunk
lines yesterday. General Passenger
Agent Wood, Of the Pennsylvania rail
road, was in New York all day expect
ing to be called into a conference with
the agents Of other lines, with view OF
putting an end to the cutting. lntor-
nation was received al the Pennsyl-
vania railroad office yesterday afternoon
that the meeting had not been held, and
that there was no prospect OF meeting
President Roberts and Vice President
Cassatt were in their offices long after
hours, awaiting the result of the meet
ing, and upon learning that it would
not take place departed TO their homes.
No reason was assigned for the meeting
not taking place, but it was surmissed
that propositions to be submitted were
not exactly in shape, and will be ready
to-day, when the meeting will take
place. Assistant Passenger Agent Boyd
had not heard OF any reductions from
the rates ruling the day before, but
there were rumors that sales of tickets
had been made as low as SS. 50, but this
could not bo traced to any reliable
source. The scalpers were still offering
tickets as low as S7.1j, and threatened
to come down to a lower figure if the
trunk linesmade any further reductions.
Outside of the trunk line circles the i'm
preston prevailed that all the compan.
les engaged in the passenger war were

VINO is the Lucky Man?

The snug sum of s27 900 is waiting to
be claimed by some Boston " lieuten-
ant" A young gentleman of that city
recently received information that a
letter bearing his name with the above
martial prefix was in the post-office,
and he was requested to call if it was
intended for him. He had no claim 10
the title of lieutenant, but he thought
this was probaly an inadvertance, since
the name was his iu full.
He accordingly opened the letter and
read Dear Sir: Do not think that
your gallant conduct in rescuing two
ladies from drowning at - in 1873,
has been forgotten, By the will of a
near relative of one of them, Just de-
ceased, you are set down for a beqGest
of S27, ,OOO." The youngman read no fur
ther. He never performed the gallant
feat thus recoun!ed, and was reluctant
ly compelled to admit that, although
the name was his, he had no claim to
the letter or fortune.

Church Lotteries. /

Quite an interesting discussion is 60
ing on at present in West Philadelphia,
in Haddingten's Immediate vicinity,
between the Haddington NJ. f. churcn
and the Bellevue Literary Institute. The
Institute has been holding a fair for the
purpose of raising money to liquidate
the dett upon their buildinG. AT the
fair different articles were CHANGED off
at ten, fifteen or twenty-five cents a
chance. During the progress of this
fair the pastor of the Methodist church
in Haddington referred in his sermon
Sunday evening to the gambling in
progress at the fair. Quite an excite
ment was created in the congregation
and the surrounding neighborhood, and
the friends of the institute and church
arrayed themselves On the side of either
the fair or pastor respectively. 1t seems
that at the close Of the sermon the cler.
gyman gave to any o1e wishing to re-
ply five minutes to do SO. This oppOr-
tunity was not taken by any of the
friends of the institute, but on last Mon
day evening Mr.. William &. Morris, of
the institute replied. Already person.
al feelings are aroused, some members
of the institute charging that they have

CHANGING at fairs held for the benefit of
the Methodist church. The church par
tisans cor tend that that does not make
it any better, because they erred once.

The Utterly Utter Young Lady of
Boston,

An aged gentleman from the country,
whose own walk is as sturdy as his con-
versation, was much amazed yesterday
at beho!ding the appearance of Boston
young lady. The fair creature descend
ed from a horse car almost at his feet,
teetcred lightly-not to lightly, just
on her to IS thrice, adjusted her arms
liked the plumed extremiJies of dress
ed fowl permitted her hands to dangle
as dc the fore paws of a kangaroo, and
sailed down the street with sort of a
willowly wabble which set her head to
bobbing after the fashion of Chinese
doll, her eyes the while being set and
anxious, and her whole appearance sug-
geStive Of dlslocation and distress. And
when one Of our gilded youths hove in
sight, in coat with no tails to speak of,
and hat like a soup plate cooked over
his lefS eye started after her, with arms
and legs forming segments of circles
after the approved traditions of the
chicken walk he remarked that he'd
be revised if he could understand what

REPUBLICANIsM IN NEW YORK,
Senater koDeFtsOn Thinks tho
Long Contest ut Albany Mas
Sire nKthened the Party.

A special despatch from Albany says:
IL is Senator RObertsOn's opinion that
the prolonged contest over the Senator
ships has strengthened the party rather
than weakened it. "If," he saws. "a
caucus had been held in May and Mr.
C0nkling had been defeated by small
majority, as he would probably have
been, the State would have been divid-
ed between two rival Republican Or
CARNATIONS Of about the same size. A
conflict might have followed lasting for
years; but by the prolongation of the
struggle Mr.. Conkling has gradually
been shorn of his power till now he is
supported by a mere rump fthe party.
His ability to infict injury on tile
party is greatly reduced. Meanwhile
the Administration party has success
to the leadership of the organization.
and is cordially and Loyalty supported
by nlne-tenths OF Mr.. Conkling's for
mer allies, as well as by the people. IL
is the Senator's opinion that it is she
duty OF the Administration leaders to
push forward men Of high character for
its candidates before the State conyen
hon. In this selection of candidates
care should be taken to avoid and in-
putation of "bossing" the Convention.
The presentation of candidates of high
character from every section of tie
state should be solicited. 'Let us have
a candidate for Atterney-general," said
Mr.. Robertson, 'ofthe grade of Murrav
Hoffman. Then there are the nomins,
tions for Controller, for Secretary OF
or State, for State Treasurer, and for
State engineer, all should be of men of
well-known ability and fine character"
Mr. Lapham also is convinced that
the Republicans will carry the State.

the Corruption Of the Paris Press.

All Of the political journals Of Paris
let out part OF their space to financial
companies who are free to puff up their
own schemes and persuade the public to
part with their money. The rage of
speculation and the corruption of the
press is a veritable disaster for France.
A curious instance Of the influence of
this press may be cited. In 1873 the
Panama Canal subscription failed ut

which Emile de Girardin wrote against
