THE REV. ROBERT CoLLYERs RETURN.

In the windows at No 1877 East Thirty-nlnth-st.,
the home of the Rev. Robert COllycr. the lights
burned brightly last evening. The IRON railing
without relie ced the rays IN the Consciousness of
a fresh coating Of paint. and the marble thing in
the hallway glowed with an immaculate Wilderness.
Mr.. Collyer arr we'd home III the afternoon by the
CITY of Rome from ten weeks trip to England,
in robust health his checks tanned aud looking
rudy as hose of much younger man.
81 am feeling tine, thank you," said he IN his hearty
manner TO the reporter. " It's grand thing to get
out of the way for few weeks, il u is only 10 be on
the decks OF a steamer. IL don't make NE sick but
| eat and eat when | am on the water aud can't
seem TO get enough. We had what would have
been "a rough voyage for small vessel,
but We plougbed right through the big waves.
We passed two wrecks near Sable Island, think.
They were small craft and one had raised little
signal that huttered there like a hand over the
water. 1t was q sad thing, but We could tell
nothing about It,"
"You visited your old home Mr.. Collyer ~
Yes. | passed the time between York shire and
London. / saw people and some old places
that have not seen for fifty years. But didn't
do much lying about on nv back on the grass. as
thought OF doing. 1t won't do now. We tried il
one day, old friend. farmer. and myself.
don't know how he felt after but my poor back had
to 20 to the doctor. We are neither of US young
as we used TO be-"
DO YOU return TO your duties at once. Mr.
COllyer
Il get back to work Sunday morning in good
earnest. l am glad TO get home, and New-YOrk
doesn't suffer by the contrast with London, except
III one thing; London streets are very good no
broken, rough pavcments, such as we have heTe.'

CHARLES DELMoNICo IN NEED OF REST

CHARLES Delmonico needs rest" said the mana
ager OF OF the Demonico restaurants yesterday.
f" lie is not insane, rs some people say, but his
system is paying for years of too constant
and close supervision of his business. Then he has
had the labor OF settling up his unce's affairs Be-
sides this, he has been too willing and good-natured
TO refuse when his friends said: Here's co. He
would do 1t Just to keep1hem company and he prob
ably lost oftener than be won. lie has been nervous
and run down, but he will be all right again in
few days. HIS physician is going to make him stay
for while at Long Branch, where he has been stay
ing in one of John Hoeys cottages. His sister is
taking care of him."
DR.. I. A. Mcbride, who has attended Mr. Delmon-
ico stated that his patient was not insane but was
needing rest for his oyer-tlred nerves. People who
frequent the Fifth Avenue Restaurant have noticed
that Mr.. Delmonico has lately when in town, acted
nervously. He watchful, walked around a
great deal and paid unnecessary attention to little
details OF the business. Always courteous to the
public and TO his friends he has been strict with his
employees and their whole demeanor would change
at his approach He has spent many of his spare
hours in company with stock brokers and other
friends during the past year In his cafe, where he
would JOIN group at table aud take part In the
conversation aud make Que of the company.

A Now Deal Predicted.

DETRotr, Mich, Feb. 15.-Only one ballot
was had to-day with the following result;
Ferry, Al; Newton, %, with other demo-
cratic yotegscattering; Burrows, IL; Cntch-
con. 7; Willetsi ., with nine republi-
cans scattering. Five fusion. mem
bers voted for Ferry and three OF his previ-
GUS supporters deserted him. A prolonged
caucus of Ferry members was held last
rigt slastiaa lirtfl foidnight, tfsy,if "a 4 &c
formal withdrawal of Ferry was urged by
many His brother Edward made strong
appeals to the members TO adhere untinch-
ingly to him, but aroused considerable op-
position, and the proposed withdrawal was
lost by majority, when some OF the minor
ity announced that they should no longer
teel bound to-support the senator. A break
up and new deal is thought to be ineyita-
bic.
DAMAGING TESTIMONY.
In the legislature bribery investigation
this morning, Witnesses Bailey and Church
were further examined. Nothing new was
ELECTED, but Yesterdays testimony was
further confirmed. William Thompson,
mayor was then put on the stand, and tes-
titled TO having been in Washington last
spring; was called on by Ferry, Who re-
ouested his cooperation in securing dele
CATION from Detroit TO the legislature, who
should favor Ferry's reelection; witness
demurred, giving among other reasons, his
Opposition to Bigby Y. Doll, collector of
@ 'istoms at Detroit; Ferry then said he had
taken pretty good care of Bell, paid him
about all he owed, caring for himself,
his relatives and friends, and there.
fore If Thompson would support him
(Ferry). he could have the Detroit
osstom-house; Thompson accepted, came
back to Detroit and proceeded to fix things
for Ferry did all he could; made speeches
at the convention introduced resolution
requesting legislators to vote for Ferry, the
resolution being handed him by w. A..
Gavett, special treasury agent; subse-
quently he learned that Ferry intended to
reappoint Bell, whereupon he wrote Ferry,
dissolving partnership and announcing his
determination to do all he could 10 defeat
him. In answer TO repeated questions,
Thompson said emphatIcally that Ferry
promised him the custom-house. All a.
tompts to shake him were neffec: ual.
