Mr.. Endicott's vigorous Health.

cpIlusHoiu Nsihssj hepUDican.
The idea that Secretary of War Endcott is a
feeble man is wholly mistaken His health be-
came impaired by long service in the Massa-
chusetts Supreme Court-an overworked body
and he went abroad on six months leave of alb
sence, about three years ago. While in Europe
he chafed under the feeling of limitation in his
vacation, and also under his delicate sense of
obligation toward his associates on the bench.
who were in the meantime doing his work Con-
ssequently he early made up his mind to cut
loose from all public duty as prerequisite to
complete rest, and forwarded his resignation
from across thewater. He thereupon began to
recuperate rapidly and, in the course of year
or two, returned wholly restored in health and
with q disposition to resume an active career
not in general practice, but as counsel to large
interests which sought to employ him. 1t was
as referee in such a matter that he visited Wash
lngton early this winter, to have a case argued
before him by Senator Dawes. He will be a
working member of the Cabinet and very iy-
dicious general adviser to the President.

In looks Miss Cleveland reminds one of Anna

articulation distinct, making her fine speaker
She has given frequent lectures at the Elmira

There is good authority for saying that the In

1t is understood that the tracks on South Ten

coming season, be taken up, and the rolling mills
will be reached by laying tracks approaching the

There is possibility that their ground will be
needed by the Union Railway Company for spur

The fact that the Indianapolis, Decatur &

control of the road does not affect its relations

TENNIE AND THE COMMODORE.
The Costly Painting Claimed by Miss Clafins
Sister--A Coming Contest in Court.

NEW YORK, June 24-Several years ago
Tennie c. Clafin and Victoria Woodruff startled
Wall street operators by establishing broker
age business among the bulls and bears. 1t was
rumored at that time that Commodore Wander
bilt furnished the capital for the firm. How
ever this may have been, it was apparent that
the old Commodore possessed considerable
friendship for Miss Clafn, and by some it was
thought that they were exceedingly intimate.
One day Miss Clahin, desiring to present Mr..
Vanderbilt with token of her esteem, ordered
that certain oil painting should be sent to his
home. 1t was a magnificent picture, was en-
titled aurora, and the value was about So, 000
The original is said to have been worth at least
twenty five times that amount The Commo-
dore priced the painting very highly, and it oc-
cupied most conspicuous position in his art
gallery. Upon his death bed DIR. Vanderbilt
directed that the picture should be returned to
Miss Cla6in. His orders were obeyed. After the
female brokers discontinued business, Miss Olaf
lin went abroad She has remained there several
years. Only short time ago news received
of her betrothal to "a titled Englishman, you
know" 1t was also announced that her future
residence, after marriage, might be the City of
Churches. In anticipation of this the steamer
Canada, of tle National Line, one week ago yes
terday brought over some exceedingly valuable
paintings belonging to Miss Cla1in. Mrs. Mar
guerita o. Miles, sister, sailed few days pre-
vious upon the White Star steamer Celtic, and
arrived in advance OF the pictures. By order of
Collector Robertson, they were, after inspection,
conveyed to the residence of Mrs Miles, No. 1T
De Kalb avenue, Brooklyn.
To her utter astonishment, Deputy Sheriff
Barto called upon her Thursday afternoon, and
informed her that Mary Spar, another sister of
Miss Clafiin, claimed the works of art as her
own, and that he Rad authority to seize them.
This he did against the protest of Mrs. Miles,
and removed them to Kerrgan's salesrooms, in
Willoughby street.
1t was claimed by Mrs. Sparr that after Com
modore Vanderbilts death she came into posses
sion Of the painting entitled Aurora" and that
Mrs Miles is preventing her from securing what
| rlghtfully belongs to her. On the other hand, it
is asserted that while upon the deck of foreign.
bound steamer, Mrs Spar distracted the bin OF
sale of the picture from the pocket-book of Miss
Clafiin, and that she has no legal right to the
painting. Yesterday Mrs Miles, through her
counsel, Lawyer Spencer. made a demand for
the return of the goods to her, declaring that
they belonged to Tenne Clafin, and that she
Mrs. Miles, was intrusted with the care OF
them
The case will come up for consideration in the
city court in September Then it is quite likely
that the famous Miss Clafiin, with all the added
dignity of bride, will appear as a witness.

No Harm tn Test the Question.

Some Of the brighter class of railroad men
are not taking much stock in the toning up of
rates now in progress. They argue this appa-
nent restoration of harmony among the trunk
lines has been brought about without touching
the serious questions of difference between
them, and coming as it does, at a time of ex-
traordnary speculation in the stock market the
conclusion will not be universal that the new
arrangement will be permanent 1t is well un-
derstood by all railroad nen that there can be
no real and permanent harmony until Mr. Van
aOrbilt gobbles up West Shore and stops building
the South Pennsylvania, which step seems quite
unlikely to be taken as the parties interested in
the South Pennsylvania railroad scheme have
just been called upon for another iEstallment of
their subscription The call is for 10 per cent
and when the amount is paid 40 per cent. of the
subscription money will have been paid in. The
standing the Bagaley suit The New York Com
msrca and Financial Chronicle departs from it's
usual accuracy in endeayoring to show that the
South Pennsylvania railroad is not competing
line or a parallel line in an offensive way" 1t
coEses to this conclusion from the false reason
ing that Dir. Vanderbilt projected the road sim
ply to make connection at Pittsburg with the
Pittsburg e. Lake Erie for Cleveland and the
Lake Shore, and that consequently the South
Pennsylvania is only link in new railroad
system. The fact that the new road was built
at some distance from the PENNSYLVANIA is also
brought forward proof that Mr. Vanderbilt
had no idea of undue competition with a rival in
bnilding his road.
