Liquor Dealers In Trouble.

A meeting of New York liquor dealers
was held to effect an organization to as
sist them in securing q more lenient ex-
else law. John Cavanagh was elected
president. Mr.. Cavanagh stated at
length his views on the subject and the
course that should be taken by the deal
ers. He claimed that each liquor dealer
in the city controlled from five to ten
voieS. and if the dealers wanted to put
stop to the police raids they must unite
their patronage and support.
eff the Il, 900 licensed liquor dealers
in this city, controlling, as we do, 1OO,- :,
900 voies, would work together for tho
election of Mayor and a District
Attorney" said Mr.. Cavanagh, "there
isn't money enough in New York to de-
feat any big brewer, if we should nomi-
nate him for Mayor. 1 don't care what
the party is we join or whether we start
one of our own. I'll vote for any man
if he will say he is in favor of fair ex-
else law" Mr.. Cavanagh then went on
to say that the licensed dealers ought to
be considered as honorable as other
merchants, but the public would not
discriminate between them and the I'M.
licensed dealers who encourage vice.
"This ring under which we suffer origi-
mated at Police Headquarters, said he.
''and has gradually worked down to the
District Attorneys office"
A committee was appointed to perfect
the organization and secure the co-opera-
ton of the dealers in the other wards.
Mr.. Corragin thought that by closing
the saloons on Sunday while those in
Brooklyn, Jersey City and the suburbs
were kept open, the bread and butter
were being taken from his mouth. He
was in favor Of closing during church
hours, but keeping open for stipulated
time during the day. Mr.. Piper wished
no action taken on that subject. ave
don't wish to advertise ourselves as law
breakers" " said he, Though everybody
knows we are. For there is probably
not an hour in the day that we don't
violate the law. The law says we shall
not sell liquor to children. Yet am
afraid some of us do" The meeting
then adjourned.

over to the engine, to which they were
quickly hitched.
The "tender" horse, on the other
hand, remained as stationary as if he
was cut out of marble or wrought in
bronze.
He came when the other two did"
remarked Mr.. Healy, going up the horse
and leading him to his place, between
the shafts of the tender, "and has had
as much practice, but he doesn't know
as much. Well try it again.
When the alarm was sounded the
second time the three horses walked out
slowly and as if they didn't like it.
"That's not lively enough" said the
fireman, "but we've only had them for a
week. In another week they'll be all
right"
"Do you ever drive in the streets as if
going to a fire ?"
EVERY day. We have good wide
streets up here and very little travel.
We can take one of the boulevards and
drive very fast for mile without any
danger of running into anything. If we
were further down town, we couldn't
do it."
"Where do your horses come from ?"
mostly from the West. They are
fine horses and stand on an average
about sixteen hands high. New York
State horses would.be better adapted for
the purpose, but they al too high priced.
We are allowed only $500 for horse,
and good one from the State cannot be
purchased for that amount"
AS he finished he pnlIed an alarm
Mr.. Healy, the driver, was on the seat
of the engine in an instant. The horses
came to their places in little better
order, the collars were fastened, the
harness dropped from the ceiling when
the driver pulled cord to which it was
attached, and was quickly arranged
The tender horse was hitched in like
manner and at the same time. The
DOORS were thrown open and engine and
tender went at breakneck pace in the
direction of Tenth avenue, leaving the
reporter 10 wonder why he was alone.

THE ILL-FATED MANISTEE.
Thrilling Stories of SuHerings on the Lake
by "A Survivor.


Mr.. Carlston, of Duluth, MINI. received
a letter from friend who was passenger
on the ill-fated Manistee, of which the
following is a synopsis:
"When the boat went out" the letter
goes on to state, "they encountered
very heavy gale from the southwest, and
when about twenty miles out the boat
was put about, but could not make it,
and broke in two. Lifeboats were taken
out, but before they were launched all
but one were swept away in the storm,
and only nine persons who were on
board were allowed to get in that one.
They had terrible time, for after the
steamer went down there was nothing
but wide expanse of water before
them.
They rolled around on the turbulent
waters-cold, wet and hungry-for three
days, and one by one dropped off, death
having come to their relief. Some of
them were frozen to death; some died
from sheer exhaustion and exposure to
the wind. They say that Captain Mckay
never left the steamer, but wrapped him
self up in his heavy overcoat and re-
marked:
81 will never leave the boat until the
last soul is of. ] am captain of this
boat, and if she is to be coffin for any
body she will be my coffin"
After the men left the boat they say
the Manistee made one plunge under
the waves and that was the last of her.
They also report that when they left hel
the crew and ten passengers were on
board. Out of those who started in the
boat only three were saved and reached
Houghton.
They say thewreck occurred off Eagle
Earbor, and that there was no possible
chance of saving her under any circum
stances. They add that at the last
when everybody knew there was nc
hope of saving her, Captain Mckay
gave his orders just as coolly and col
lectedly as if he was on land.

A. P. MOORE, WHO owns Santa Rosa

A. P. MOORE, WHO owns Santa Rosa
island near the California coast, has
10000 sheep, from which he clipped, in
June last, Ais, TAO pounds of wool. He
sold this for $212, 1880, and realized a
clear profit of $4,000. Four men are
employed regularly the year round to
keep the ranch in order and to look
after the sheep, and during shearing
time fifty or more shearers are en-
ployed. These men get forty or fifty
days work, and the average number of
sheep sheared day is about ninety,
for which five cents clip is paid, "a. so
a day being made by each man. Mr..
Moore, who bought the property from
his brothers widow for 5000, 900, has
leased it to his brother Lawrence for
$40, 900 a year, and will travel for his
health.

smith on an Erie Railway train, and told
him that if he wanted to get the best
piece of horse flesh there was in the
county he would tell him, for one hun
dred dollars, where she stood. Gold
smith said all right. Decker told him
OF the Decker mare. Goldsmith re-
piled that he had seen her, and that she
was ''no good" He did not know her
pedigree at that time, and Decker told
him what it was. Then Goldsmith be-
came interested, and succeed in buying
the mare for six hundred dollars. The
popular story that an old wagon was
part OF the consideration is nc strictly
true. Bill Bodine, who was the mares
trainer, and by whose skill and patience
she was made what she became, told the
writer that Goldsmith had been promis-
ing Tompkins wagon for some time,
and when the latter delivered the mare
to It's new owner he saw a secondhand
wagon that suited him standing in Gold
smiths shed. Tompkins reminded
Goldsmith of his promise, and asked
him for the wagon, as he could take it
right along with him then. Goldsmith
looked al 4 wagon while, and then
said: "f right; take it along. I'll
have to send it to the blacksmith shop,
anyhow, before long" And Tompkins
took the wagon.
By the fall of 1866 Bill Bodine had
conquered the mare, and that same sea-
son he entered her for her first public
trotting match. The trot was to be on
the Middletown track, with horse from
Port Jervis known as Lady Brown. The
purse was five hundred dollars, will a
forfeit of fifty dollars. The race did not
come off, for Mr.. Goldsmith entered her
for a trot with the then famous horse
General Walker, ON the Goshen track,
and the date was the same as the Mid
dletown entry. Bodine paid the fifty
dollars forfeit, and the mare won the
race in three straight heats, making
record of 2:26. Her next important
race was the great trot on the Middle
toWn track with Dexter, when she was
beaten by that then King of the Turf.

An Ingenious Head.

A sad looking tramp, clad in the airy
garments of the deceased summer,
boarded a Sixth avenue car at Canal
street and West Broadway yesterday.
In his eye could be detected stern re-
solve to die before he would work. In
the palm of his delicate hand, unstained
by manual labor, he held four cents.
"Will somebody please give me another
cent so can get down DOWN." he
asked. Somebody gave it. Then the
heartless minion of the soulless corpora
tion came forward to take the poor mans
all.
"Does this car run to Tenth avenue
and Thirteenth street ?" asked the
tramp.
"No," said the minion, ''it does not. :"
ooh, calculated the tramp, and the
minion rang the bell to let him get off.
Close behind was an Eighth avenue car,
and this the tramp boarded. Four cents
lay in his hand and a sympathetic pas
senger gave him another. "Does this
car run to Dry Dock ?" he humbly
asked. "No," growled the conductor,
sit don't run to no dry dock. The dry
dock you're looking for is a sweet spot
out in the East River, and it's called the
Island Get off," And the tramp got
off, and in the hurrying crowd of the
busy street counted up seventeen cents
as the products of his industry, and
boarded a Broadway car in search of
Oyster Bay.-NeaO York Times.

Notable Falls.

Writing to the Baltimore Sun, from
Sydney, N. S. W., traveller says: "I
have never seen anything in America
that compared with Wentworth Falls in
the combination of both beauty and
grandeur. At first the water leaps dis.
tance of 700 feet, as though falling over
the back to the seat of great armchair
cut out OF the face of the mountain bv
some giant of nature. Falling in spray,
it gathers itself for another run and leap.
the second time falling over 800 feet into
the great gorge below. The fall is so
far and the foliage so dense at the foot,
that the eye fails to see the second
gathering-place Of the clouds of spray
glittering in the sunlight 800 feet be-
low. The valley below the falls spreads
out into great amphitheatre fifty miles
across, and hemmed in on every side but
one, with the perpendicular walls of the
mountain. No human foot has ever been
known to tread this valley, as it cannot
be reached from below by reason of a
second precipice over which the same
stream falls, and to go down from above
would be perilous undertaking."

The Waste Basket.

A correspondent of the Cleveland 70. J
Leader in Goshen, Ind, tells story of
the first printing of Will Carleton's
"Betsy and 1 are Out" The poem was
sent, the correspondent says, to the
Toledo Blade, where a subordinate. in
the absence of the editor, threw it into
the waste-basket. The editor had a
habit of looking through the waste
basket, and he recovered the poem, all
except the first sheet. For duplicate
OF this sheethe wrote to the author, who
furnished it, and the poem was printed.
1t was copied by nearly every paper in
America.
