New York Railroad Gossip.

New YORK, Dec. 3.-The announcement
from Chicago late this afternoon that pas
senger rates he'd been restored to Missouri
river points, was discussed tonight in the
lobby of the Windsor hotel, and the fact ap-
peared to give satisfaction to such railroad
men as were present, President John New
ell, of the Lake shore railroad, said:
81 am very glad to hear it. hope the ar
rangement viii be permanent. There is
nothing more to be said only that the change
must prove beneficial to all roads interested. +"
Daniel Warden said: sits good thing
If they only stick to the agreement. but I'M
fortunately we know (unless there is some
penalty attschedD that's not always the case.
A heavy money penalty might oblige them
to keep the agreement for two years.
At meeting of railroad presidents in the
Office of Commissioner Fink to-day, II was
decided to fix rates On live stock at forty
cents per 100 pounds, and on dressed beef
at seventy cents from Chicago to
New York. TIE change to go into effect
Monday next. These rates are somewhat
higher than those of the July tariff. and much
higher than the present rates, which are
twenty and ttirty-two cents respectively.
Judge Cooley, arbitrator, decides that here
after dressed beef rates are to be % per cent.
greater than rates for live stock.

There is something inten sely absurd In
toast and health drinking. the custom is
hezthenish and bacchanallan in it's origin,
and its upbolders and practicers have always
taken gOod care that there should be no mis-
take as 10 whence II sprang. II seems that
the history Of toasts Is simply this: II Was
customary IN the days Of Charles IL, or car
Her, to put piece of toasted bread In a Jug
OF ale, hence called "a toast and a tankard. "
Il happened that on one occasion, so goes
the story, one Of the professional beauties
of the Merry Monarch's time, when that
phrase had even a still more significant
meaning than il has at present, was In a large
public bath when one of the crowd Of en-
thusiastic admirers and OnlOokers took a
giassiul of the water in which the fair lady
stood, and drank, with It, her health 10 the
company. A gay, half-tipsy young fellow in
the company offered TO jump in, and declared
that, though he liked not the liquor, he would
have the toast" Begun in this character
istic fashion, the custom for awhile was con-
fined TO ''toasting'' favOrite beauties or mis-
tresses In private parties, till in course Of
time these tOasts were given on all imagin-
able subjects al public drinking meetings, ac-
companicd by and by with all the idiocies OF
Ship, hip, hurrah," snd call the honors, ("
advancing MS men ''had well drank'' TO still
more uproarious folly. To cap the climax OF
absurdity, some toasts had to be drunk, not
with uproarious noise, but in ''solemu sill
ence." Aud 10 think of all this tOmfoolery
having arisen from brainless loafer drink
ing the health OF questionable beauty in a
glass of not surprisingly clean water.-l Tor

"If don't succeed now it will be terrible,

just before her first appearance at the Acad-
envy in ''La Somnambula." She did sue
coed though, emphatically aud brilliantly.
Patti, herself has not often worked up an
audience TO greater enthusiasm than did the
little lady with the western Territorial name
as she stood behind the Academy footlights
the first time. The house was full and fash
ionable and it gave the singer as warm a
welcome as her heart could wish. She was
called out again and again, and enough flow
ers were passed over the footlights To set up
pretty large conservatory. As is the Gus
tom, though, most of them were back at the
florists next morning. But the New York
debut of Emma Wixom Nevada was undoubt-
edly success. The third part OF her name
as you probably know, was pat on after she
had decided TO join the operate aviary. Be
fore that she was known as Emma Wixum,
daughter OF DR.. William w Wixom, of Ne.
vada City, CAL, where her holidays were
passed. Her father travels with her and
keeps a sharp western eye on the business
side of her accom- plishments. In figure she
is short and slight, and in face and manner
she is gentle and winning. Mapleson GER
tainly deserves a word OF thanks for bringing
her back to her own country, though, OF
course his only reason for doing so was To
piece out his plans Tor making money. he

holders have not responded, but Ma 2leson is

They ASK for Bankruptcy Law.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.i
New YORK, Dec. 3.-One hundred busi-
ness men of this city crowded the board of
trade rooms this afternoon to urge the i'm
mediate passage by congress OF the natona.
bankruptcy law drafted by Judge Lowell and
passed by the United States senate. Dele
gates we're present from a score
of trade organizations that favor
the law. Gardner Colby, of the Merchants
club and Col. f. A. Conkling pronounced
the law an admirable one, aud considered it
would be as equitable and beneficial to the
debtors of the country as to the creditors.
Ex-Judge-Axneux, John F. Henry,
Demas Aarnee and dozen
others also earnestly advocated the
law. The meeting adopted a statement call
ing attention to the evils arising from the
various insolvency systems in the several
states, and showing the need for uniform
and just bankrupt law. This fesolution was
then passed:
"We most earnestly call upon the members
of the house of representatives to secure an
immediate consideration of said bill now
upon the house calendar. in order that the
commercial interests of our country may OBJ
TAIN Ine OeneHLS OF JnlS nuCu ueeueu ltplS-
lation. We ask this in the name of citizens
of all parties and Of all sections Of our
country. We urgently represent that
if action be now delayed the statute
books of our country will be deprived of such
law for two more years, to the great detri-
ment and serious injury of the commercial
interests of our country.
The members Of the organization repre-
scented at the meeting will write to customers
and correspondents all over the coun-
try and urge them to impress upon
their congressman the necessity of taking
prompt action. Little pamphlets were to-
day printed for distribution, giving terse ar
guments why the law should be passed. In
big black letters the pamphlet says there
is crying need for remedy for a
condition of affairs that has made it easy for
the business failures in America to increase
in three years from $65, 200, 900 to $173, 0OO,-
900. The pamphlet says that, under the
Lowell bill, clerks and wage laborers would
be protected in the event of the insolvency
of their EMPLOYERS.

without saddles, and OF course, without stir

discovered only half century ago In Pom

saddle or stirrups. The wonderful bronze
statuette-group OF Alexander aud Bueephalus

An Old Mystery.


A New York letter writer saws there was a
striking reminder OF an old mystery in one
Of the papers the other day, in the form Of
paragraph to the effect that woman, old,
time-EOrn aud poorly clad, and said 10 be
the Mrs. Cunningham whose name went all
over the country nearly thirty years ago in
connection with the mysterious Harvey Bur-
dell murder, had appeared in one Of the
courts rs an applicant for a warrant. Many
persons who read Il doubted II the woman
was the real Mrs. Cunningham. of ''b0gus
baby fame. Soc disappeared from New
York soon after her escape from the clutches
Of the law, aud vas generally supposed 10 be
dead till the paragraph appeared. believe
all the other persons who figured In the Bur-
dell mystery are dead. The sentimental
youth, Snodgrass, who was a butt for all the
newspapers, went out West and turned
preacher. aud am told, died there. DR..
Alvah Blaisdell and John J. Eckel, who were
OF Mrs Cuuninghamis household ia the
same way that Burdell was. went into part
nership in the disiilling business after the
murder sensation had blown over. and sub
sequentiy got into some trouble with the
govern ment that caused their retirement %
the state prison, where Eckel died.
Blaisdell is dead, too, though, believe. he
did not die IN jail No part OF New York
has undergone a greater change than the
scene OF that famous murder. Il was then
a choice street for residence, bat the residence
character Is gone altogether, sndevery house
has been for years pa Z given over to bust
ness. The house in which the murder vas
committed still LOOKS much The same outside,
except that It has grown soiled aud shabby,
but inside Il Is as murh changed as It's former
landlady herself-if the old woman who aD-
peared In court the other eay really was Mrs.
Cunningham. New York never had a muir
der that excited more interest than that Of
Harvey Burdell, dentist. upon whom Mrs
Cunningham attempted 10 father q bogus
baby some weeks after he was doue 20 death
in his room. claiming that she had been
married 20 him: nor one left more deeply
shrouded in mystery after all Investigation
had come 10 an end. The bogus baby busi-
ness caused Mrs. Cunningham herself to
come under strong suspicion, but there never
was auy direct evidence 10 connect anyone
positively with the crime, and the endeavOrs
10 solve the mystery had 20 be given up. 1t
seems almost like ghost story to hear that
Mrs. Cunningham 10 in New York again.

Missouri River Rates Restored.
Special Telegram TO the CLONE.


CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-An agreement has this

enger rate war between Chicago and Mis-
souri, points by which the rates

Regarding the Tariff.
[snecial Telerrnm 70 ihe Glone /


WASHINGTON. Dec. IA few Of the men
who were prominent iu the battle for tariff
reform during the last session OF congress
are very anxious TO renew their interest
this winter, and the recommendations Of
the president and the secretary of
the treasury have given timely aid 10
their plans for reyiviny the agitation.
They say the result of the presidential cleo
ton means that the people want taxes cut
down aud the surplus revenues brought to
the limit of the needs of the government,
and the work ought TO be begun at once,
although it may be practicable only 10 en-
large the free list.
Mr.. Hewitt, of New York, lie much con-
cerned lest congress should fail 10
pass Legislation TO make operative the
treaty with Mexico. On the other hand
there is strong opposition TO touching the
tariff question in any form during the short
session, when q few resolute men could cas-
lily defeat satisfactory results by speech MAX
ing and amendments. This line Of
tactics would be as practicable
upon bill relating to the
Mexican treaty as it would pending any
other tariff bill. II is certain that some of
of the ablest low tariff men are now OF the
opinion that it would be inexpedientto touch
the tariff question this winter, but the pres
sure is very strong, and it has been
agreed that the leading protectionists
and reform members should have free and
informal consultation 10 decide what can
aud should be done. This meeting is to be
held some time within a week, probably next
Saturday. One of the gentlemen who will
participate in the conference and who is an
earnest reformer, says he is satisfied that no
tariff bill will be taken up by the house.
