81 will tell you what would be very in
teresting reading just at this tIme,v said
wellposted gentleman to the Critic re-
Gently.
"What is it? The Critic will publish
anything that is interesting"
''It is this; Publish the amount of

Bench"
''If you can give me an idea as to what
1t is, L will give it to the world, not only
as an interesting fact, but as a piece Of
news.o
81 can give it to you to dot. Judge
Blatehford is worth at least 1900, 900,
and has no children; nobody but his wife
and self; Judge Mathews is worth at
very low estimate $500, 200: Woods, $780,
600; Waite, $250,O0O Field, $3.50, 600:
Judge Gray, $150,O00, and he is an old
bachelor; Bradley, $500, 900. Judges Mil
Ter and Harlan are both poor men Their
only income is their salary. SO you see
we have the enormous sum of $15, 5,050, GOO
represented by seven men on the Supreme
bench-an average of $2,125,000."

AswEET THING IN ToMBsToNEs
Magnificent Monuments Now Within
Reach of the Million.
Na3n Yo.E Wo.lJ

The new industry of making zinc
''tombstones" and cenotaphs threatens to
work a revolution in the picturesque
graveyard, You can now buy a hand
some monument for the family plot for
less than nickel-plated watch will cost.
You see," said the agent of this new
enterprise, zinc is the most durable and
beautiful thing in the world, and as the
taste for elaborate monuments grows
among the poorer classes, it is necessary
to find some cheap and durable material
to take the place OF marble, which gets
nicked and warped by time and crumbles
with the elements. Zinc can be painted
any color, or bronzed, for that matter, and
a coat of paint every year makes it as good
as new."
The reporter smiled and suggested that
the prospect of the surviving friends go
ing to the cemetery every year. armed
with paint-pot and brush, to touch up the
zinc monuments, belonged rather to the
| humorous than the memorial side of life.
But the agent saw nothing to smile at.
''Fhe fact is" said he, ''the expense of
erecting elaborate cenotaphs by poor peo-
pie Is something enormous. Why, sir,
! for group of hons and Charity feed.
ing four angels, like that, you
would have to pay $4,000 If you
| had it in marble. Statues of Faith. Hone
and Charity, life.size, cost from $4,000 to
$4,000, and Gothic monuments forty feet
| high, in the Renaissance style, are awfuIly
expensive. Why, sir, poor people can't
| afford them. To build a mausoleum of
bronze or even of granite would bankrupt
most people. But zinc, sir, is quite within
their means. That Flemish tower is 81 60.
That very fine Greek obelisk is only So.
| We can get you up a Faith for SO and a
Charity for 81 80. With a coat of paint in
the spring she'll go through the summer
as bright as new penny"
Here difficulty occurred to the report-
er's mind. ''It's all very beautiful and
cheap" said he, "but there's one OBJ
, jectiOn.''
'sAh. What's thatP'
"Why, the travelling tinkers will cut
pieces out of Faith and Hope TO mend
their wares with, and the nanny-goats of
the neighborhood would eat the legs off
Charity under the illusion that they were
| tomato cans"
& He acknowledged that this was a diff
Guilty that had not occurred to him, but
he thought it was little far-fetched.
When asked if the sound of the constant
hammering made by the relatives and
survivors in mending the monuments
would not destroy the repOse of the place
ana give it something Of the air of boiler
shop or foundry, he grew sad and said
that the subject was evidently beyond the
| grasp Of the reporter.

DoRsEY's PRIVATE LETTERS.
A Lot of Political Correspondence to be
Given to the Public.

a N.nf
Given to the Public.
Washington Special to Philadelphia Times, ED
During the recent star route trials and
before, it was stated that ex-senator Dor,
sew would print certain documents and
letters in hia possession relative to the
Garfield Presidential election and the for
nation of the Garfield Cabinet. This cor
resDOndence is alleged TO be of a sensa-
tional character. A good deal of this SEN
sation has been heavily discounted. 1t is
known here, however, that Dorsey is
now being negotiated with by New
York paper and that all the writings
relative 20 the celebrated Garheld-COnk-
ling compact will be produced I'm the
columns of the journal that published the
Dorsey letter. Dorsey has held these pa
pers sacred until now, when he feels that
ne owes nothing to the party that has re-
warded him with disgrace. Ex-senator
Dorsey proposes, after he has damaged
the Republican party as much as possible
by disclosing some secret history, 10
transfer himself, troop and baggage, TO
the Democracy and help them in the next
Presidential campaign. He has an idea
that he will be able TO control a large
negro following by preaching 10 them his
services in the Garfield contest, and he
will try TO show that his prosecution for
star route frauds was the result OF con-
spiFacy among the dead fresldehts ehe-
mics.
Special Attorney Ker returned to Wash
iurfon this evening and will appear IN
me Criminal Court Tomorrow, when
Rradv will have plead to the new indlct-
ments against him. and ex-senator kel-
loggss case will also be considered. IN
fbis connection a singular question has
arisen concerning one Of the counsel re-
tanned by the Louisiana statesman.
When the star route cases were first dis
cussed William A. Cook, well-known
criminal lawyer Of this city, was retaln-
ed nv fhe government as special counsel.
He was very anxious to try the case
AGAINST ex-senator Kellogg at that time,
bsf was overruled by the other attorneys
in the case. Subsequently Mr., Cook re-
80 ,,aTv indicfment was found against
Kellogg. the latter secured his former
nroseentor. who will be his leading coun-
sci tomorrow.

LYNCHED ON A BRIDGE.
Burning Contemplated, but Hanging Fl.
nally Decided Upon

GALVESTON, June 26.-A Jefferson,
Texas, special says: 'Lacey, one of the
negroes guilty of outraging Mrs. Rogers,
near LaSater, few days ago, was lynched
on the bridge this morning. He confessed
fully. A buggy was driven from under
him allowing him to fall. Five hundred
persons were present. No secret
was made OF the intended hanging, and
general notice was given of the exact
hour. 1t was first decided to burn him,
as was done in previous case in the
same vicinity some time ago, but it being
recOllected that the law provides
that hanging is the penalty
for rape, it was finally
determined to follow that course. OF the
three negroes concerned Lacey and Sulli-
van were captured by citizens. Sullivan
is thought to be innocent and will probably
be released. Douglass, arrested by Off
GERS, is still in Jail, but may be lynched
tonight.

HUNGARY's PERsECUTED JEWS
More Developments Which Prove the
Animus of the Prosecution

Animus of the Prosecution.
LONDON, June 26.-In the trial of the
Jews at Nyreghaza, Hungary, it was
elected that the Magistrate who aided in
the preparation of the case for the prose-
cution was once sentenced to % years
Imprisonment for a brutal murder. This
magistrate admitted that he signed the
dispositions of several of the wit
nesses in the present trial,
though he was absent when they
were examined. Several witnesses de-
posed that the boy Moritz Scharf, who
said that he saw Esther Salamassy muir
dered in synagogue, was hidden in the
house of the Police Commissionary. The
defence pointed out as significant fact
that Schar7s deposition contained a spe-
cial clause denying that cOmpulsiou had
been resorted to in his examination.
PEsTH, June 26.-The government
organ points out that the government
could not prevent the Nyreghaza trial,
but that they have made the fact known
as widely as possible that they do not be-

THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO.

Judge FOra<er's OratOry at a Republic
can Love Feast-DemOcrats United.
Cincinnati Special to v. Y. World, eth.
At the Lincoln Club last night Judge
Foraker, the Republican candidate for
Governor, was accorded love feast.
The Judge made a very long speech.
He began with the stereOtyped laud-
alton of the past of the Republican
party and spoke fearlessly on that topic.
On the tariff question he was a trifie
vague and diffuse, but more than a trif1e
cautious. He said the tariff question was
ever present. 1t was a part Of the gov
ernment's life and of vital Importance to
every employer and man in the United
States, whatever his occupation. So i'm
pOrtant was it that the Republican party
had taken the definite position that Amer
lean labor must be protected; that a
labOrer must be paid fair days wages
for a fair days work, that he might not
only earn support for his family but
sufficient additional money for education
al purposes.
american labor must not be brought
into competition with foreign labor,
which pays 20 to 3T1& cents day. Its
wisdom was attested by the country's
prosperity.
Here the Judge struck some terrific
blows at the Democracy, but as the De-
mOcracy was not there the argument was
unanswered.
The Democracy in 1880, he said, pro-
nOunced for tariff for revenue only, and
now at Columbus they wanted it for
revenue and also for little protection.
Speaking of the liquor question, he said
he knew the Scott law would stand be-
cause the principal was Just and eternal.
Republicans were committed to it and
would 90 through with the work without
either explanation or apology. Liquor
was responsible for three-fourths of taxa
ton. heavy burden, and must be made
TO contribute to the Treasury. Even this
requirement would not wipe out the evils
IL had caused. Sumptuary legislation
was the clap-trap OF demagogues.
There ere rumOrs of lack of Democratic
harmony i'm Cincinnati, but they come
from abroad. The NelCS-JOurndl to-day
has a Columbus letter intimating that some
Democrats there are accusing the En-
0ufrer here of emitting to mention

SMOKING THE PIPE OF PEACE.
Crook and the Chiricahuas Talking at
San Carlos.

SAN FRANCISCO, June ga dispatch
from San Carlos, Arizona, yesterday says
that by order of Gen. Crook the Indians
at the San Carlos reservation were called
to meet at the post and give an express
sion Of their views with regard to remain
ing upon the reservation. The meeting
was presided over by the commanding
officers and was addressed by Chief Loco,
Chief of the Warm Spring Indians.
BOnito, the leader of the party,
who killed Judge McComas and
his wife and captured their
son, Mentgo, sub-chief, and Mana, chief
of the remnant of VictOria's old band.
The substance of the remarks was that
they were glad to get back to the agency
and under the protection of Gen. Crook,
and that they would settle down and be
good Indians. The tone of the captive
chiefs showed that they realized the hos
tility of the agency Indians, who were
silent at the meeting.

instructions to the Collectors of Customs
at New York to cooperate with the Com
mlsslOners of immigration at that port to
prevent the landing of immigrants found
to be paupers within the meaning of the
law. In the event that such pauper i'm
migrants may have already landed, as is
reported to be the case with the large
number shipped on the steamship Furne-
