1t is now thought that the Hudson River
steamboat Thomas Cornell may not be q total
loss after ALL So the experiment of cutting
across lots in coming down the river In a fog
will not prove so complete failure as was at
first supposed. 1t is probable, however, that be-
fore long a lighthouse will stand on Danskam'
mer Point as warning to Over-contldent pilots
who persist in running at full speed on foggy
nights Mr. Beach, of NewYork, with COM
mendable celebrity, introduced in the House oil
Representatives yesterday a bill to provide for
the erection of lighthouse at this dang erous
place; and prompt and favorable action upon
it would be welcome news to scores of Hudson
River pilots, not to speak of the helpless thou
sands who daily intrust themselves to their pro-
lection.

The annual conflict between landlords and
tenants is now almost at its height, and careful
inquiries by TRIBUNE reporters in all parts OF
the city show that the tenants are generally
getting the worst of it, But certainly those IN
the choicer parts of the city could expect moth
ing else. Year by year every foot OF ground on
this narrow and crowded island becomes more
precious. Prices for a good many things have
been going up of late, but most OF all for build
ing materials and the labor employed in the
building trades SO it is not surprising that
rents go up. The city is growing at mag
nifcent rate in wealth, in population and pros
perity. The advance III the last two years has
been marvellous. New buildings are under
way on all Sides but not nearly enough of
them to supply the demand. The number of
really good sites not already occupied is
rapidly diminishing. Every man of means
wishes a house in or near one of the fashionable
avenues, and tens of thousands of men who use
offices must have them near Wall-st or the
City Hall. With the best business quarter and
the best residence quarter limited as they are
by the shape and character of tie city, is it to
be wondered at that rents rise with every year
of prosperity

There is no reason why Mr. Lowell should be
reproached for his action in the Lamson case.
He has forwarded to the Home Department the
memorial adopted at meeting of Americans IN
London, together with the dispatches relating
to the case received from this country; but he
has not considered it his official duty to in
fluence the action of the Secretary by personal
appeal or diplomatic memorandum. lie
plainly says that his Office precludes any ex-
preston of opinion on his part, and he is right,
whatever captiuus critics may say to the con-
trary If a reprieve be granted in this case, 1t
will be solely matter OF international cOur-
| tesy, and the favor will be more readily
| granted if 1t be informally suggested rather
| than officially demanded. Sir William Har-
| court will be apt to strain point i'll order
| to satisfy the feeling of Americans that the ex-
ecution was ordered too precpitately and that
there is considerable evidence on both sides of
the sea i'm support of the theory of insanity
Some of DR.. Lamson's champions have raised a
foolish clamor that he was tried and sentenced
in this summary fashion simply because he was
an American. This is sheer nonsense. The
evidence fully explained the conviction. The
appalling nature of the crime seemed to justify
immediate punishment. 1t remains to be seen
whether the English Home Office will care
to rest under the suspicion of hanging an
American whose sanity is seriously questioned.
The Senate yesterday confirmed the noinina-
ton of Alexander d. Dunbar for Postmaster at
Peekskill The COnkling Republicans will
crow over this result and with good reason.
Mr.. Hudson, whom Mr.. Dunbar supersedes, has
been an earnest and efficient Republican ever
since the organization of the party, and-like
Burt Van Horn-has administered the affairs
of his Office so faithfully and well as to win
the CONNIE ndation of his superior officers at
Washington. But he committed one great
fault. In common with at least nine tenths Of
the Republicans of Peekskill, he was opposed to
the return of Messrs. Conkling and Platt to the
United States Senate, and acting on his cOnvic-
tons of duty, he signed and circulated petit
ton requesting the Legislature not to return
them That did the business for Mr.. Hudson.
Ex-AssernDlyman Travis, the boss Stawart OF
Peekskill, swore that his head should roll in the
basket. and that Dunbar, one of the most Oflen-
sive Stalwarts in the town, should be ap-
pointed in his place. The rank and file of the
party vigorously protested, and requested that
in case Hudson was to be removed, John Smith,
IT., a good Republican and a gallant soldier,
should become POstmater. But the President
inclined his ear, not to the Republican masses
of Peekskill, but to Travis and the corporaPs
guard of Stalwarts acting with him. Such are
the facts of the case, and they render comment
supertluOus.

There will be wailing and woe among the
newsboys and bootblacks if bill which the
Assembly adopted yesterday becomes law.
1t makes it unlawful for theatre managers to
admit any children under fourteen years of age
without an adult companion. What can the
galleries be without their gods7 Our big
theatres would be dull indeed without the
usual fringe of grinning little faces peering
over the top railing. But the lofty perches
would not be vacant long. The street Arabs
would be sure to get the best of lany manager.
Boys would grow old in day, and the amount
of lying that would go on at the box Offices Of
variety theatres every night would make the
recording angel throw down his pen in de-
SPAR.

Speaker Keifer is reported to justify his ac-
ton in removing one of the stenographers of
the House on the ground that the official in
question receives salary from tae Associated
Press, and is not, therefore, safe custodian of
The secrets Of standing committees. That is
not the quarter where anyone who has had any
experience in the collection of public intelli-
eence at the National Capital would first suspect
the chance of leakage. Clerks and stenog
raphers tell no tales but every committee
contains one or more seve-like members from
whom information oozes and trickles whenever
they are approached. The Speaker probably
has nore serious reasons for bis action. The
incident is teapot tempest at best; yet the
most venerable member on the Democratic side

The Curious Document Left by
- GrcenSille Physician.

The will of David Edgar, the eccen.
tric physician of Greenville, recently
deceased, was admitted to probate by
Register of Wills r. g. Madge on
Saturday last. The authenticity of
the paper was proved by the affidavit
of w. j. McCrea, W. r. Fessler, E. F.
Curtis, D. w. Grimm and L. p. Gil
lespie, and the proof of death was
made by James NJ. Brown. All the
gentlemen are of Greenville, and were
we'll acquainted with DR. Edgar. The
old gentleman had very peculiar religi-
Gus views, and his will is a curious
document Following is q verbatim
copy:
81, David Edgar, of Greenville, Mercer coun-
ty, Pa, do make this my last Will and Testa-
ment, as follows, to wit: First, that all my
debts and funeral expenses be paid, and that
five hundred dollars be given to my Sister
Eliza Hamilton and five hundred dollars to
Mrs. Lucy Grim then the balance of my
property, monies real estate and mkt leave, in
trust to E. F. Curtis and Albert Herriott and
David W. Grim to be disposed of .as l shall
hereafter direct.
"First, want all my affairs to remain as
they are for one year after my demise-then if
| can't direct them through a spirit medium
how to dispose of my effects | wish them to con-
vert my storerocm on Main Street into Hall
or Church that it may not be taxed like other
churches, want this to be used for free speech
and the propagation of Spiritudfism but all
shall be excluded who breaches priest crdtt-in
haste
July 80 d. EDGAR"
The will is written on single sheet
of paper, in a cramped hand and in
ink. Below the signature is scrawled
in blue pencil:
81 Wish VIM. Fessler, Albert Herriott and
David Grim to be my Trustees"
Letters of administration have been
granted to James G. Brown, the heirs
mentioned in the will having empow-
cred him to take charge of the proper
ty. The estate is valued at from $10,-
900 to SIS, 900, the greater part being
in real estate. The property on Main
street, where the directs the hall to be
erected, consists of a two story brick
building, used as store
Or. Edgar's funeral took place in
Greenyille on Wednesday afternoon
last, and was largely attended. No
minister officiated, but au old friend
and co-religionist of the deceased, pro-
nounced an grafton over the remains
1t was in the Ingersollian vein, and
signiied nothing of the future, though
the good qualities of the deceased were
very eloqueutly brought out. The
speaker said the doctor had been pos.
sessed of many Christian qualities,
though he would not want them called
by that name. DR.. Edgar had many
friends among all classes of people.
One Of the gentlemen named in his
will as trustee is an orthodox church
member. 1t is too soon to say how
the provisions of the will may be car
ried out, but 1t is not likely that the
trustees or the administrator will re-
ceive any further directions from the
deceased. The wording of the will
shows that while he was a thorough
spiritualist, he had grave doubts about
his ability after death to communicate
with his friends on earth.-Mercer Re
publican. Feb. 3.

THE CONSCIENCE AND THE
FUTURE JUDGME ENT.

/ sat alone with my conscience
In a place where time had ceased,
And we talked of my former living
In the land where the years increased.
And | felt l should have to answer
The question it put TO me,
And face the answer and question
Throughout an eternity.
The ghosts of forgotten actions
Come floating before my sight,
And things that | thought were dead things
Were alive with terrible might.
And the vision of my past life
Was an awful thing to face
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that solemnly silent place.
And | thought of far-away warning,
OF sorrow that was to be mine,
In land that then was the future,
But now is the present time.
And thought of my former thinking
OF a judgment day to be.
But sitting alone with my conscience
Seemed judgment enough for me,
And | wonder if there were a future
To this land beyond the grave
But no one gave me an answer
And no one came to save.
Then / felt the future was present,
And the present would never 60 by,
For it was but the thought of my past life
Grown into eternity.
Then woke from my timely dream,
And the vision passed away,
And knew the far-away warning
Was warning of yesterday,
And l pray that | may not forget it,
In this land before the grave,
That | may not cry in the future,
And no one come to save.
And so / have learned lesson
Which / ought to have known before,
And which, though learned it dreaming,
| hope to forget no more.
So | sit alone with my conscience
In the place where the years increase,
And l try to remember the future
In the land where time will cease.
And know of the future judgment,
How dreadful soe'er it be,
That to sit alone with my conscience
Will be judgment enough for me.

A Two nj lie Walk Under Lake
MichiY0m

About the middle of January the
old tunnel under Lake Michigan, for
the water suply of Chicago, was pump
ed out for an examination of the ma
sonry. On the Gath of January, May
or Harrison, with the city engineer
and several reporters, walked through
the tunnel to the crib, distance of
two miles, on tour of inspection.
The bottom of the tunnel at the land
end is sixty eight feet below the sur
face of the earth, and the party were
let down into the great hole at 2:l5 p.
NJ. With lighted miners lamps they
started on the journey, which was found
to be laborious as we'll as uncomfortable,
the water being ankle deep and the
tunnel not quite high enough to per-
NIT man to walk erect. The mason
ry was found to be perfect, and in COM
memoration of the trip, which took
one hour and thirty-fve minutes, the
Mayor screwed a brass plate to the
wall of the tunnel 5000 feet from shore,
bearing the inscription: Water let in

PeriIs of the Deep.

The world-renowned swimmer, Capt.
Paul Boyton, in an interview with
newspaper correspondent at the sea-
shore, related the following incidents
in his experience
"Reporter.-Captain Boyton, you
must have seen q large part of the
world 2"
Capt Boyton.-"Yes sir, by the aid
of my Rubber Life Saving Dress,
have travelled over 10000 miles on the
rivers Of America and Europe have
also been presented to the crowned
heads of England, France, Germany,
Austria, Belgium, Italy, Holland,
Spain and Portugal, and have in my
possession forty-two medals and decco-
rations / have three times received
knighthood, and been elected honorary
member of committees, clubs, orders
and societies."
Reporter.-"Were your various trips
accompanied by much danger 2"
Capt. Boyton.-"That depends upon
what you call dangerous. During my
trip down the river Tagus in Spain, |
had to "shoot' one hundred and two
waterfalls, the highest being about
eighty-fve feet, and innumerable rap
ids. Crossing the Straits of Messina,
/ had three ribs broken in a fight with
sharks and coming down the Somane,
river in France, / received charge
of shot from an excited and startled
huntsman. Although all this was not
very pleasant, and might be termed
dangerous, | fear nothing more on my
trip than intense cold for, as long as
my limbs are free and easy, and not
cramped or benumbed, am all right.
OF late / carry stock of st. Jacobs Oil
in my little boat,-(the Captain calls it
"Baby Mime" and has stored therein
signal rockets, thermometer, compass,
provisions, etc. )-and have had but
little trouble. Before starting out /
rub my self thoroughly with the article,
and its action on the muscles is wonder
full From constant exposure | am
somewhat subject to rheumatic pains
and nothing would ever benft me, un-
til got hold of this Great German
Remedy. Why, on my travels ! have
met people who had been suffering
with Rheumatism for years; by my
advice they tried the Oil, and it cured
them. would sooner do without
food for days than be without this REM
edy for one hour. In fact would
lot attempt n trip without it,"
The Captain became very enthusias-
tic on the subject Of st. Jacobs Oil,
and we left him citing Instances of the
curative qualities of the Great Ger
man Remedy to party around him.
The St. Lawrence Tunnel.
The railway tunnel under the St.
Lawrence at Montreal, Canada, is to
have the following dimensions En-
tire length, about 2l,700 feet; open
cuttings on Hochelaga side, $500 feet,
and on the Longueuil side, 1920 feet ;
actual length of tunnel proper, $3.50
feet. 1t Is to be 2G feet wide inside

ter Of the ground to be supported.

preventing these is natural, simple,
and easy. We have only to follow the
thoughtful example of the Indians each
year, and our forests and those making
their homes there are safe enough
The remedy is to have fires regularly
every year, instead of every tenth
year or as chance compels them. In
this single line lies the whole secret.

Mrs. VanderbiIrs Love Letters,

A New York letter to the Detroit
Post says: Commodore Vanderbilt's
widow came originally from Mobile,
and had a great influence over the
Commodore She has lived O. very
quiet life since the Commodore's death,
spending most of her leisure in opening
love letters and prosecuting the chari-
ties which he undertook She frequent
ly sits up with her secretary till mid
night answering letters-not love let
tiers. The number of proposals she
has received for her wellendowed hand
since the Commodore was taken from
her is estimated. by those who are
nearest to her, to be between FIVE hun
dred and two thousand. Many of
them are accompanied by photographs
which wildly and vainly endeavor to
set forth the charms of the writer's.
These missives furnish no end of
amusement to the family, at No. 10
Washington Place. But Mrs. Wander
bilt, though barely thirty-six, and
prepossessing woman, declares that
she will marry no more, and she smiles
upon no suitor. Gossip-mapy-eyed
and many-tongued-is not even busy
with her name. A tar-heel from the
Western Carolinas is among the most
recent who have sought her hand He
naively and innocently assured her
that he had knocked together little
cabin of his own, and if she would
only be his he would support her as
long as she lived.
