the best run at this tournament (6o)' ana
who did even better than that on previous
occasion, has no "place" at all accorded
him.
Part of the cargo on the Nevada, now on
her way to this port from Liverpool, most
decidedly we do not want. Ii consists or
hundred or more pauper Mormons, mostly
women. Now it is bad enough for the morals
of the country to be obliged to take Mormons
even when they are of the sO-called Respectable
classes: but when il comes to poygamous pau
pers endurance ceases to be virtue lho
Lattcr-Dav Saints would receive these poor
creatures willingly enough, probably, for II Is
we'll. known fact that tie time has passed Wheh
resnectable women in this country can be con-
ycrted TO their peculiar belief. 30 'he
uormon missionaries are sending over these
pauper women. The Emigration commissioners
however, are on their guard, ana undoup'euly
this human rubbish will be returned TO the
Swiss communes whence it came.
News from South America confirms the re-
port that Chill has signed a treaty of peace
which binds Peru, so far as General lSlesias
is able to bind her. Most of the residents OF
the latter country are as anxious for peace as
defeated and plundered people can be, and
il is hardly possible that the treaty will be re-
iected by any Peruvian Congress which gets
together. What the friends of unhappy Peru
now hope is that the nation will be so unanl-
nous against any more fighting that civil
war between Iglesias and other rival leaders
will be avoided. Generally when South
American State gets through warning with Its
neighbors it has to fight the question all over
again within itself Peru has been brought so
low. however, that possibly all classes will not
only be glad to be at peace with Chill but
with each other. Under these circumstances
the prospect of a prominent career for lgleslas
in restoring Peru to her old prosperity is flat
tering.
The West-Side property owners in the me-
mortal presented yesterday to the Commissioner
of Public Works made out strong case IN
favor of finishing the streets and sewers be-
tween Fifty ninth and ne-hundred-and-
tenth sts The abuses of the Tweed ring
induced property holders to submit to any IN
convenience sooner than render themselves
liable to further assessments. This policy has
now been pursued until population and I'M
movements are treading on the very heels OF
the district The memorial asserts that much
of the malaria from which Newly DIRK suffers Is
caused by the continual tearing up of the sur
face at different times and Tor different pur-
noses. First the street is graded and allowed
to rest. then up comes the surface for the sew
ers, and again for water and gas pipes. 1t is
suggested that as a matter both of economy

ont at once, and as this district lies Immediately
adjacent to the Riverside Drive and Morning
side Park as well us to Central Park, it should
| become as popular as any other. In the present
| state of the real estate market no great hard
ship could result to weaker holders from I'M

mand for all lots offered III the neighborhood
Over hundred thousand people in pursuit
| of a new sensation walked, rode or drove across
the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday. There is a
| suggestion of grim humOr in the fact that four
| funeral professions strOve to be the first to
take this new route to the cemeteries. The
record of the victorious dead may be looked
| for in due time upon some appropriately ill.,
scribed tombstone. Ferry travel was visibly
| affected. Calculation based on the Bridge travel
of Yesterday seems to show that with the present
| tolls the expense of keeping the structure open
would be nearly met by the receipts. But 1t Is
| rather early to make trustworthy computations
on that score Several points, however, were
emphasized by yesterdays business. One OF
| them is that it will not be possible TO use the
Bridge at all freely until the elevated railroad
station at the New York approach is removed
I'D Chatham-st. The blockade at the approach
was tremendous, and it took about half an
hour after one joined the crowd before one
could get on the Bridge The sooner there
| fore the station is removed the better. When
the Bridge cars are ready the managers OF the
elevated road will probably quickly see that
trains must run on the Chatham Street Branch
all night. Street ears, moreover, should prob
ably not be allowed below Tryon-rOw. The
blockades will probably reconcile the man
ayers of these lines to this necessity within d
| few days,
