NEW ToRK, October 22-As the great

are somewhat exercised over the ques-
ton OF Transporting street cars across.
A number OF the railway lines converge
at the bridge, and to take the cars across
With horses would keep the track con-
stantly occupied. The grade by which
the bridge is reached is too steep for
steam motors. The elevation oil. the ap-

New York to Brooklyn there will be the
equivalent of hill 100 feet high which
b. to be surmounted. It would
require a heavy, powerful To-
comotive TO draw train ot eight
or ten passenger cars over such grade,
and the bridge has not been built to
bear such heavy concentrated loads,
which would require floor beams, truss
es and suspenders OF twice the present
strength. These, in turn, would call
for much heavier cables, heavier anchor
ages and stronger towers; in other
words, according to Engineer Roebling' s
report upon the subject in 1878, the
whole bridge would have to be rebuilt.
1t is likely that the rope traction system
will be adopted, by which trains OF cars
eau be run to and fro alternately, or de
tached cars can be run on the circulat-
ing plan. The bridge has two double
track roadways for vehicles, Is feet I

sion of Is feet Il inches will go in one
direction.

A Republican Protest Against Coalition
in Virginia.


in Virginia.
New YoRH, October 22.-The Eee1ing
Mail. a staunch Republican paper, is
indignant over the Mahone-R -ReadIuster-
Republican coalition in Virginia. The
Nal SAYS: There may be mysterious
and statesmanlike reasons for sinking
Virginia Rspublicanism in the bottom
less depths of Reputation, but the ex-
plantations do not explain this surrender
10 the average Northern Republican.
The gist OF the reasons advanced is that
If the Republicans become repudiators
the repudiators will ultimately become
Republicans, and will see to it that the
amalyamated Republicans have free
speech. We presume that the Republi.
cans in this city might capture the
powerful 'gin-mill' interests on "a
easy and honorable conditions
A union OH the basis OF cheap llcens 5
and unlimited Sunday traffic would be
sufficient. The trouble with the Nir.
ginia bargain is that the sacrifices are all
on the side of the Republicans. Mr..
Malone makes no effort to display even
incipient and potential Republicanism.
He even iauntily Otfsnds the moral sense
Of Northern Republicans by the marked
respect which, in his note to Jubsl Early,
me accords to him simply because OF the
high rank he held in the rebel army,
and with which he treats the barbsrous
practice OF dutiing. And his stump
orators everywhere dissvow the slightest
faint of Republicanism and claim to be
better Democrats, than the "fundsrs.'
A nalgamatio1 on such degrading terms
must be a rather demorslizing process
for the party tiat gives everything and
Gets nothing bL I humiliation"

NEW YoaK, October ga special
dispatch to the Evening Poa is as fol-
lows:
WASHINGTON, d. c., October 22.-Mr.
Tyner is not disposed to surrender the
position OF First Assistant Postmaster
General while under fire and his friends
certainly make out very good story.
They say that be not only did not pre-
vent investigation into the Star Route
matters, but was first to call
attention to these abuses; that his
report upon the subject he did not
suppress, but delivered it to Key, who
returned iI, saying that he did not
think it wise to 90 into the matter, as it
might hurt the party, and asked Tyner
to lock it up in his safe. Moreover, the
nature OF Tyner's report was communi-
Gated TO President Hayes, who did not
choose to have the matter pursued.
Tyner's friends say further that he sub
mitted bis report to Postmaster General
James early in the administration,
and that the first substantial in.
formation that James obtained in
the matter was derived from
this report. Tyner~ ~hsd an interview
with President Arthur this morning,
and it is understood presented the case
as thus outlined.

ing the time Of the murder. Lambert
then called on Mrs. Roper, and was
soon satisfied that she had heard Of
her husbands death by some means
before the disclosure of the fact. He
also discovered another remarkable
fact-that one Of the Roper children
was named Wellesley. To shorten the
story, the woman was found to be the
daughter of Mr.. Wellesley, and by
degrees the dreadful fact was devel-
oped that Roper had himself murdered
William Wellesley to secure the vast
accumulations of the property for his
wife, and had subsequently, arranged
for the killing Of the old gentleman,
SO that his daughter, as the second
surviving child, should inherit as
speedily as possible.
Roper and his accomplish went to
Upton to carry out the plot for the
removal of Wellesley. The accom-
plice waste hide behind the wall,
close by the gate, and from the top Of
it take the fatal aim. The arrange
ment was that Roper was to pass out
into the road in advance on Wildes-
ley, and that as soon as Mr. Wildes-
ley appeared he was to be shot. 1t
will be remembered how it was plan
ned by Roper that Samuel should
come last, and that by the accident of
Roper and Mr.. Wellesley returning to
take glass Of wine, Samuel went in
first. The assassin supposing that
Samuel coming out first was Roper,
waited for the second man to appear,
and shot him, thus Staying the insti-
gator Of the projected shooting OF MIR.
Wellesley. In the wood to the left of
the dwelling was found the spot where
the body of William Wellesley had
been buried after his murder by Ro
per. Mrs. Roper claimed that though
she knew of the killing Of her father,
she was in dread other life, and dared
not reveal the crimes. Retford, the
accomplice of Roper, was captured,
but in attempting to escape from the
Stafford countyjail, sustained injuries
Which, proved fatal.

Next day the police were on the
move to investigate the matter, but
not a clew leading to the perpetrator
of the deed could be found. 1t was
found, however, that the dead mans
skin had been stained and that he
wore a wig, both, evidently for dis
guise. When Lambert, the great En-
glish detective, took the matter in
hand, he displayed his usual skill.
In the murdered mans hat was a lin
ing, and in the lining were the words :
"Whitmore, halter" There was no
street or town. Lambert took the
lining with him to London, and visit
ing the leading hat factory, question
ed the journeymen as to their knowl-
edge of the name "Whitmore," in the
hat business.
After persistent inquiry he came
across a man who had once worked fol

LISTEN TO THIS. GIRLS.

DR.. Csrbally, an eminentsphysi-
ciana and chemist, testifes that
the cosmetics which the fashion
able bellies Of the present day arc
so fond of using, and deem
so..indispensiblc so to- their beau
ty, arc the most deadly ene-
mics to their vital system. Pa
raIysis that fatal and frightfnl
form of bodily infrmity us said to
be the result of the continual use
Of the paints or washes used for
cirameliing or otherwise artii-
cia!ly whitening the skin.
Chief. among these fearful ,auxiI-
iaries Of the toilet is that white
horror, "Laird's Bloom Of YOUTH
which is.so extensively used by the
ladies Of society, married and sim
gle, for making up their COM
plexions.;@ The salts of lead con-
tanned in this preparation, which is
tie means of producing that pear
" white, polished appearance of
the skin, On applying it, is the ac-
tive agent of paralysis, and any
person who uses 1T, or any other
lotion or powder containing these
salts, is tamperiug with herslife.
Dr.. Carbally further tells US,
seriously, that the peculiar droop
ofthe hands salcasticaIly called the
kangaroo style" and which was
supposed by the community T" be
u mere freak of fashion really and
truly: had its origin in partial
paralysis of the exterior muscle Of
the forearm, produced BY the use
of those outward poisons. Some
fashionable belle, no doubt, had
suffered in this terrible way for
ber folly, and all fashionable geese
of her, acquaintance followed suit
by crooking their wrists and droop-
ing their hands, like so many hens
with their wings broken;
We learn also that all powders,
paints and liquids which impart q
polished, scintillating whiteness
to the, skin, contain metallic poi
sons, and are extremely perilous.
