SUIT FOR RENTAL.
Mrs. A. T. Stewart Wants $4,000 Of
the Long Island Railroad.

New YORK, June l6.
Mrs. A. T. Steward, widow of the million
aire. was the plaintiff in an action heard to-
day before Justice Cullen in the circuit court
The suit is against the Long Island Railroad
Company, and about $4,000 is involved.
All the facts in the case are admitted so the
only question to be passed upon is the legal
responsibility of the Long Island Railroad
Company to pay the debt which Mrs. Stew
art alleges is due her. Mr.. Stewart leased
his railroad to Garden City in January, 1878,
for a space of 80 years, at specified rental,
under certain conditions, to the Central Rail-
road Company. In June, l7I4, that COM
pany consolidated with the Flushing, North
Shore & Central Railroad Company, and still
another consolidation in May. 1876, brought
the road under the control of the Long
Island Railroad Company. The rental I'M
der the lease had in the mean time accum-
ulated, and it is that Mrs. Stewart seeks to
recover. The question of the shifting re-
sponsibility under the several leases is the
one that is involved in the action. Justice
Cullen reserved his decision.

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE HILL INVESTIGATION.
Allegations by Counsel ColenaA Which
Created q Sensations.

WASHINGTON, June l6.
Quite a sensation was produced today In
connection with the Hill investigation. As
sistant Secretary New, chairman of the com
mittee had lust announced that there would
be no session for the day. when Mr.. Cole
man, counsel for Mr.. Murch, said, with some
warmth. that he wished to call the attention
of the committee to what he regarded as
gross impertenence both to himself and Mr.
New. He then produced requlsition made
several days ago by Mr.. Mureh. upon MI.
Hill for the papers relating to the contracts
for statuary for the Philadelphia public
building. The request was Endorsed by Mr.
New. with an order for the production of the
desired papers. On the reverse side was
Mr.. Hills Endorsement refusing to furnish
the papers, for the reason that the statuary
in question was not mentioned in the charges
being investigated. Mr.. Coleman character
lied this refusal as an insult to the chair
man of the committee and his (HilTs) su.
perior Mr.. Coleman then gave notice that
the prosecution proposed to take up the
public buildings at St. Louis, Chicago, Gin
cinnati and other places, and to show that
about 5000, 900 of the public funds had
been Illegally expended.
Mr.. Murch stated this evening that among
the papers which he had been able to extort
from the supervising architects office, was
one showing that, in one instance, after con-
tracts had been made, an amendment was
made by the architec ct increasing the compen-
sation of the contractors % per cent on 81
per cubic foot for cutting and polishing stone
for the Philadelphia public building. las
to the contract for statuary for that building
said Mr.. Murch. SIT was awarded to Assist
ant Secretary French's son and by him sub
let to another party, who sub-let it to the
contractor who is now engaged in the work. y
The committee had decided not to go to
Massachusetts at present to take the testl-
monv of stone cutters. The reason is that
Mr.. Hill admits the price paid for the work,
which it was proposed to prove by the evil
dence.

New ORLEANS, June l6.
The Times Democrats, Mansfield, La,
special says Rev. Ben l. Jenkins, Jr., this
morning killed Rev. j. Lane Borden. presi-
dent of the Mansfield Female College. Rev.
Mr.. Borden had seduced young lady who
was friend of Mr.. Ben l. jenkins. The
difficulty occurred in front of 3. l. Jenkins
store. jenkins used a revolver and fired five
or six shots. One of the shots took effect in
Borden's leg, one struck him in the heart,
SCATTERING his watch into fragments, and one
struck him in the forehead, just between the
the eyes. He lived about two hours. but
never spoke after the shooting. The greatest
excitement prevails, but Jenkins has the
sympathy of the entire community. Jenkins
and his brother, c. E. Jenkins. who was
present, surrendered to the sheriff. A pre-
liminary examination will probably be held
on Monday next. Jenkins is about % years
of age, and was ordained as a minister at the
last session of the annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church of the South. He
is the son of Hon. Ben l. jenkins of this
place, and has been preaching at Reiblin sta
ton, on the New Orleans Pacific railroad.

DORSEY'S THREATS.
Revelations 10 be Made Concerning
Ungrateful Friends.

Ex-senator Dorsey took to be serious the
satirical report that he proposed to manage
the republican campaign of 1888. He said
today that there was no truth in the report.
He might mar, but he never would make, the
fortunes of the republican party again. The
papers and documents which Dorsey still
hold as secretary of the republican national
committee relate, of course, chiefly to the
campaign of 1880. They are not Dorsey s
private property, but he will put them to his
private uses. He proposes to make Judicious
revelations from the mass of the campaign
secrets for the discontinue of his uugrate full
friends. An intimate friend of Dorsey said
tonight that the probability was he would not
do all he threatened to do in the way of libel
suits. One obstacle would be his lack of
money. This friend said that, apart from the
100000 locked up in his stock farm, he had
very small sum for a man of his expensive
habits. On the other hand said his friend,
Brady is rich, strange as it may seem, as the
result of recent successful speculations in
oil. But be has no desire to stir up the
newspapers with libel suits.

The London World asserts that one
striking evidence of the growing temper
ance of the English people was unmistak-
ably visible at the last Derby day. ii
there is an occasion when the average
Englishman feels entitled 10 get drunk it
is on the great racing day, and the EPSON
Downs toward evening presents spec
tacle of every form Of indulgence in drink
from the highest to the lowest. To have
an Improvement markedly perceptible on
such an occasion, and, without any
special cause. is proof that decency and
sobriety have made decided advance.
It is alleged that this is more the result of
the substitution of milder liquors, such
as beer and wines for the fiery spirits and
brandy that used to be consumed, rather
than from ,tal abstinence. but from what
ever cause it is decided gain. In fact,
taking long eras as a guide. it is evident
that the English nation is becoming more
sober The orgies that were tolerated in
aristocratic society during the reign of
George the Fourth. would be considered
disgraceful among the lowest now, and,
bad as that time was, it was soberer than
the era of his grandfather when the Prime
Minister got drunk every afternoon as a
matter of habit. and the ravages of gin
produced more deaths than the cholera.
