The Imperial Trio Enjoying Themselves as
Well as Could be Expected.
SHIERNIvICE, September l6.-After the
greeting at the railway station yesterday
afternoon, William drove to the palace with
the Czarina. They were followed by the
Car and the Emperor Frances Joseph.
The right hand side Of the palace was as
signed to the Emperors Of Austria and Ger
many; and the other side was occupied by
the Gar and Czsrina. Prince Bismark,
Count Kalnoky, NJ. De Giero, and other
diplomatists in the train ofthe Emperors,
lodge in wing Of the palace The only
persons visible from the railway train which
bore the Emperors from Warsaw to Shier-
nick were soldiers. Nobody was allowed
on the platforms at the stations, and rail
way officials were ordered to close the win
dows of their houses. Polish gems darms
are guarding ShierniVice. Nobody is al
lowed here without permit signed by
General Courier.
The three Emperors, wearing Russian
uniforms, to-day inspected the Russian regi.
ments of which tie Emperors Of Germany
and Austria are honorary colonies After
the inspection the emperors marched at the
head Of their respec tive regiments and for.
mally saluted each other. The Czarini
viewed the scene from the balcony of the
palace. The emperors, with their stats and
suites, attended gala performance at the
theatre this evening.

A General Holiday for New York Celestials.
NEW YORK, September l6.-The Chinese
inhabitants Of this city, yesterday celebra-
ted their Tezingming or Feast Of the
Dead. This commemoration is held an
nually, and consists of placing upon the
graves of departed relatives or friends
food and drink and fac simile paper fig
ure Of the dead person, with appropriate
ceremonies A letter is pinned to the paper
man stating that time has not dimmed the
remembrance OF the many excellencies of
his character or the esteem and affection
with which he was regarded when alive. A

both figure and communication is then al

the message to the dead one is believed to
be conveyed to him. Woodlawn Evergreen

TRYING TO FOOL THE SAvANS.

An Imposture After the Style of That of
the Cardiff Giant.
PHILADELPHIA, September l6.-An In.
dian tablet, seven inches long, was recently
plowed up in field near Doylestown. The
matter is an important one for geologists,
since if the stone could be proved genuine
it would settle in the affirmative the ques-
ton Of the co-existence of man and
the mammoth. There is engraved
,pon it-and this is what causes
tie dispute-the figure of an Indian
shooting mammoth with an arrow, while
the sun represented as a face sends forth its
divergent rays. A cluster Of thunderbolts
arranged as the Greeks represented them,
darting from the hand of Jove completed
the picture. Itis the uniting of the brute
the human and the divine groups into one
picture, which is regarded by geologists as q
remarkable achievement for primitive man.
Scientists who have examined it, say it is an
ingenious forgery.

Man Who FI9nrs- in the Present Canvass.
BosToN, September l6.-One of the no,
tables of the. Hub, and particularly at the
present time, is james Mulligan OF Multi
gan letter fame. For several years he has
led a very retired life, and so little has been
heard OF him that many believed him dead.
But he is some ways from dead yet, and
though somewhat up in years is still active,
He can be seen almost any day at the
United States Hotel, where he has lived a
bachelors life for nearly thirty years, in
quiet comfort, occupying two rchly fur
nished apartments Personally he is about
feet s inches in height, OF spare build.
pale from consignment of years to the
clerks desk, with brown eyes and dark hair.
He is quite spproschsble and is an in
teresting conyersGtionalist. To be sure, the
most of his conversation during the past
eight years has been upon the subject Of let
tiers which Blaine wrote to him; but the
reason for this is that everybody who meets
him always insists upon talking upon that
subject: But Mulligan
Never Tires of It
in fact he has to say about just 50 much in
reference them every day or else he doesn't
feel like himself. His existence is made
somewhat unhappy 6y the repeated visits
Of correspondents and newspaper men, who
seek to interview him and secure copies Of
the remaining letters in his possession.
He manages, however to keep them at
distance and refuses to say anything what
ever upon the matter to them. His daily
mail is voluminous on the subject, bnt he
never answers any of the inquiries. Some
OF the latters he receives are of threaten
ing nature. Several times he has been
notified that he would be Uaylaid and as
saulted when good opportunity offered, so
that he rarely remains out late nights and
only when in com pany with gentlemen upon
whom he can RELY for assistance and protec-
ton.
He has nothing to worry him but this,
for
He is Quite Wealthy
and lives as he cares to upon his income.
He manages the estate left BY the senior
Fisher at his death and several others be-
sides. Fisher thought q great deal of Null
ligan and appointed him trustee Of his
property. Muiigan was born in, Dublin, is
a devout Catholic aud patriotic IriShman
In politics he is a Democrat He hates
General Butler cordially, bat speaks well Of
Mr.. Blaine denominating him q good fel-
low" He says that he would not have pro-
duced the letters in 1876, at the time Of the
Congressional investigation, had it not been
for the request of Blaine and theirsinua-
ton that The, a mere book-keeper,
Would Not Dare Testify
against Blaine"
MuIhgan was the confidential book
keeper Of Jacob Stamwood, of this city, in
1851. In 1865 he was employed By the
Adams Sugar Refinery Company, in which
Warren Fisher, Jr., was interested, and to
whom Mulligan was a confidential clerk.
Later he was treasurer OF the Globe Thea
tre. As before stated, he does little or
nothing now. His pleasures are few. He
loves good cigar, however, and delights
TO go to the theatre.

NEW HAVEN. September lG.-Bethany, as
its name indicates, is pastoral and relig-

New Haven, and is famous for its honey
Every farm house has long row of straw
hives in the front yard and the town is
noted for its sweet clover fields. Conse-
quently the bees thrive there, and stray
swsrms make honey in the woods and even
invade dwelling houses. Last June a colony
of two or three swarms Of bees discovered
a way in and out of the walls Of the little
brown Episcopal church, hidden by forest
of rock naples, on the village green. A
board had cracked for its whole length just
under the caves, and through this the bees
entered. During the summer they have
swsrmed once or twice, so that an immense
number now inhabit the place, and the
noise of their movements disturb the wor-
shippers. The wall of the church is known
to be full Of honey, and next winter it will
be dug out to starve the bees aud break up

THE PEACH CROP.
The Season About Over-A Large Increase
I'm the Yield.

The Season About Oyer-A Large Increase
In the Yield.
New YORK, September l6.-The season
for peaches from Delaware and Maryland
will last only week longer. In fact, it Is
practically over now. So far there have
been about 4,l50 car loads of peaches
shipped over the Pennsylvania Railroad
from the Peninsula this season, against
3,07l car loads sent up to the same date
last year. In 1888 there were shipped over
that road during the last week of the sea-
son 25O car loads, but this season not more
than half that amount will be sent as this
season is somewhat in advance of that OF
last year, and the demand for peaches on
the Peninsula is something unprecedented.
Last year a fraction over one-halt OF the
Peninsula crop was shipped by the Penn
sylvania Railroad This year not more
than two-ffhs Of the crop was
forwarded by that route. Last sea-
son the crop Of the Peninsula
aggregated about 100000 bushels, accord
ing to estimates made BY he transportation
companies. The Pennsylvania road car
ried $3.50 carloads, and this year that COM
pany will by the end of the season have
transported over its Delaware branch about
1890 carloads, or about 100000 baskets,
and the crop of the Peninsula this season
will aggregate about j,0O0,00B baskets.
The profit to the growers this season has
been much larger than usual. 1t is thought
that fully 20 cents per basket, or $1,000
600. have been saved TO the growers by the
new system of marketing their fruit, which
distributes it to the small cities of the coun-
try directly from the farms Of Delaware and
Maryland Upward of fifty towns and
cities taking only one carload per day or
one carload per week have been supplied in
this manner, and the plan has been very
satisfactory to the growers, and has been
the means of causing consumers to pay
fully $l75,000 more to the peach growers
than they would have secured under the
former system of shipping the greater pOr-
tons of their crop to this market.
