Iniquities of the Great.
LONDON, June 27.-The Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon
has produced a profound sensation by an article
over his signature in to-day's issue of the Month
ly Review. In this the great preacher narrates
in detail the story Of the death, last year, of
Justice Williams in a brothel, and the disclos-
ures brought out in the recent Jeffries case. He
makes these examples from high official life the
basis Of a full favored denunciation of English
immortality, and says:
"Sodom in it's most putrid days could scarce
exceed London for vice To our infinite dis

great ones love the harlot's house-top. Deep is
our shame when we know that our judges are

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK. June 27.--The first week of horse
cars in lower Broadway. closed tonight. They
are now in high favor with the public, and
especially with business men and real estate
owners along the route, contrasting strangely
with the violent opposition made for many years
to the innovation. Jake Sharpe, the final victor,
spent most Of his time, and million of his own
and other mems money in more than thirty
years of buying legislators, aldermen and lobby
ists but the opening weeks traffic proves that
million and q half per year will be cleared ON
roadway in itself costing barely a quarter Of
million. William Fl. Vanderbilt was asked if it
was true that he had wished to get the franchise.
Certainly, he promptly answered; ''but it is
also fact that never made any effort for it.
1t was my father who did that He knew, as
everybody else did, that the business of street
railroad in Broadway would be enormous and he
was also convinced as few were then but all are
now, that the line would be positive benefit to
real estate. He was responsible for one offer Of
50. 000, 900 cash for the privilege Why, he far
succeeded once as to lay several blocks Of track,
but Alexander T. Stewart obtained an injunc
ton, compelling him to restore the pavements.
That closed his efforts The upshot surely does
show, as you say, that the judgment of the best
business men is strangely astray sometimes"
The final exploit by means Of which Jake
Sharpe captured the prize was the getting Thy
what means can be guessed att from the Common
Council formal authorization to put down the
tracks. The sentiment of property-owners in
Broadway had undergone so much of change,
in view of the departure of retail trade from
that street, that twothirds Of them, rated by
their holdings, had signed consent for the
road but resolution Of the aldermen was still
necessary. An offor from solid parties of three
millions outright to the city for the charter was
before the board, but they voted it to Sharpe,
over the mayors veto, and in defiance of news
paper denunciation. There is now talk of an
investigation, but nothing is likely to come of it.
The understanding is that they did not get their
Doodle until to-day, under an agreement by
which 1t was held back until the cars had run
without legal hindrance for week. Competent

His Farewell Reception at Dublin-Precau-

DUBLIN, June 27.-There was much larger
crowd Of prominent people at the farewell re-
ception of Earl Spencer to-day than was antici-
pated. The room was 80 densely thronged that
it was difficult for those present to movo about
with any degree of comfort The Earl, in the
presence of the assembled guests knighted Sec
rotary Kaye and Commissioner Greene
for the part they took in making
the recent visit of the Prince and
Princess Of Wales to Ireland success. Every
precaution was taken to prevent the Invincibles
from perpetrating an outrage, and packages
destined for the Castle wero carefully examined
before they were conveyed inside the building,
for fear they might contain dynamite. large
force of police were stationed in the courtyard
and numerous detectives in full dress suits
mingled with the assembled crowd.
The streets through which Earl
Spencer passed in going to the railway station,
en- route to London were lined with soldiers
The departure of the Earl was witnessed by
great crowds of people. The demeanor of the
people was very respectful. Men raised their
hats, and women waved their hankerchiefs as
tho carriage containing the Earl passed. The
cheering was frequent; occasionally, however,
groanS were given.

The majority in the board of trustees at Long

some lesser ones; and an additional house, to

most fashionable cottages on the beach.
The understanding has been that immunity
from prosecution, under New Jerseys strict law
against gambling, was secured from the county
officials and local police. The trustees were
formerly all regular residents of the village. but
recently the law was so changed that half of
their number had to be summer visitors, though
these must own real estate in the town. This
year, for the first time, a majority favor sup

effect has been passed AS the vested capital Of

NEW YORK POLITICS.
President Cleveland Opposing the Candidacy

President Cleveland Opposing the Candidacy
of Governor Hill.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, June 27.-The political exposition
which the eyes of partisans now see is the open
opposition of President Cleveland to Governor
Hill as a candidate of the Democrats for the
governorshin The history of Hill in his home
city of Elmira has, within few days. been
hunted out, to the minutest detail, by two
experts sent there for the purpose Who en-
ployed them cannot definitely be ascertained, but
their orders came from source close alike to
Cleveland and Tilden. In defense of this course
it is said that the President is anxious only for
thoroughly strong candidate, in order that his
administration may not needlessly lose the in
dorsement implied in a Democratic victory in
his own State next fall. Hill was Lieutenant
governor when Cleveland was Governor, and
Hill possessed greatness of any sort Friends
of Hill say, in answer, that his course while
filling out Cleveland's unexpired term in
Albany has been consistent with the
policy of his predecessor; and that, as for his
Elmira record, it is simply that of working
politician, a laborer at primaries and the polls,
and one who deserves reward. The fact prob
ably to be used against him, and which ne does
not seek to deny, is that year after year he
handled the money with which ballots were pur
chased in Elmira. That Cleveland means to kill
off Hill is positive truth. But he is thought
not to have yet exercised what is under the cir
cumstances deemed his prerogative the right to
choose the nominee The talk to-day is that
Secretary Whitney will be the man. He is an
aspirant to the Office, his wealth is immense, his
record clear, and his boom through the Dolphin
matter is on. The subject has social aspect.
Mrs. Whitney has for several years stood at the
front in the Astor circle of our society. Her
house is the finest in Fifth avenue, except the
Vanderbilt residences. She would make her
husbands administration, if he got one, some
thing more brilliant than Albany ever saw. In
her clique, it is no secret that she hopes to be
Governors wife next year.

The Ex-President of the Marine Bank Sen

NEW YORK June 27.--Mr. Fish came into the
courtroom at an early hour, accompanied by his
counsel, Messrs. Clark and Hanley. He was
dressed in dark coors, and his face wore its usual
stoiid expression. Judge Benedict entered the
courtroom shortly after 10 o'clock This was
an hour earlier than the court usually opens, and
there were few persons present. AS soon as the
Judge seated himself, Assistant District attor
ney Foster moved for sentence on 'the prisoner,
James D. Fish" Clerk Shields called the name,
and Fish walked firmly to the bar He placed a
hand on the rail- and lifted his eyes to the Judge,
who wiped his glasses carefully with a silk
handkerchief, and said:
James D. Fish, you are charged by the grand
Jury with many offenses against the law OF the
United States. After fair and impartial trial,
you were found guilty of the Misrepresentation
of the funds of the bank of which you were
president. You were also found guilty Of max
Ing false entries in the books of the bank while
in that position. The verdict of the jury was
that you were guilty. The evidence clearly
showed that there could be no doubt as to. your
guilt. A more shameful or more lawless abuse
Of the powers of the president of a national bank
can scarcely be imagined. 1t is proper therefore,
that fit punishment should be melted out to
you, and in order that others

your age forbids cumulative sentence The
sentence of the court is that you shall be confined
IN the prison at Auburn for ten years.
Fish did not change color or alter his ex-
expression when he heard the judgment and he
showed TO agitation at all. He walked from the
courtroom leisurely, and was returned to his
quarters in the Ludlowstreet Jail, whence he
will be taken to Auburn in day or two The
sentence is not considered to be severe. The
communication for good conduct will reduce the
term to six years and SIX months. Fish is now
sixty-fv years old.

New YORK, June 27-Private vaults in the
Stock Exchange building are rented to members.
One Of the tenants mistakenly opened somebody
elses safe, and only became aware of the blum
der when he began to handle securities which he
did not recognize as his own. Then he reported
to the officials in charge; the occurrence was
hushed up so successfully that it did not get
published at the time and additional precaution-
airy measures were taken to guard the recep-
tacles of wealth. Nevertheless, the subject of
risk in safe-deposit vaults has been a general
topic in Wall street this week. There are nine
of them in the city. OF course, good portion
of the deposits consist of papers which would not
be valuable to thieves; but the aggregate of ne
gotiable securities, actual money and such porta-
bilities as jewelry and plate, is so great that
nobody undertakes to estimate it. The president
of one establishment guesses that his vaults con-
tain three millions in stuff that plunderers could
use The guardianship seems perfect as against
ordinary burglars and sneak thieves The
lcssees of safes must bring evidences of identity
every time they wish to enter and must be able
to repeat their individual passwords to the proper
official Then they must open lock in each of
two gateways, the combination being divuged
only to tenants. The rules and devices vary
somewhat in the different places, but substan-
TALLY they amount to the sure exclusion Of
merely nterloping thieves Fire and force are
practically impotent, too. But the
managers are compelled to admit that a conspi-
racy among employees might result in the COM
plete cleaning out Of any safe deposit stronghold
in town. All is done that be in this matter.
The humblest porter's antecedents are carefully
examined before appointment and his conduct
afterward is scrutinized by means of spies. This
rule is applied to the more important officers.
Recent thefts by well-reputed handlers of
treasure however, have demonstrated that real
character is not discoverable until events divulge
it, and there is genuine agitation over the APP
parently unavoidable risk, even in the vauntedly
impregnable vaults Three to six persons could
