IGNORANT OF WHAT HE WAS STEALING.

While II. Il. Herts d Sons, dealers in antiques and
furniture at No. 74Y Broadway, were removing
goods to their new store, No. 24l Fifth-ave., on
tuesday a piece of old tapestry was stolen, and
Edward Hudson, of No. 5fl East Iwefth-st., an
assistant TO the truckman, was accused of the theft
Hudson said that he sold the property for % cents
to a Junk dealer, John Reilly at No. 120 East
Eeventh-st for old rags. and that he did not re-
gard il as having any intrinsic value lie was ar
rested On Wednesday Maurice A. Herts visited
Reilly's Junk shop ana learned that the tapestry
had been cut up into six parts for bags. lie offered
- 20 for its recovery, aud Reilly, on being IN
formed that it had been stolen made no objection 10
its surrender. However, he protested his inability
tOnd OnecOrner piece of the tapestry. and Mr. Herts
told him that he would have him arrested for re-
ceiving stolen goods. Reilly and Hudson were
taken before Justice German yesterday at Essex
Market Police Court and when some of the pieces
of tapestry were placed the door they presented
a shabby appearance and several persons remarked
that they would not buy them at any price.
Counsellor Stecklrr cOntended that Reilly pur-
chased the property in utter Ignorance OF ITS value
He pointed TO the many rents and seams In the
article the coarse lining. and generally faded ap-
pearance to show that fictitious value had been
put upon it when Mr.. herts stated that II was
worth $40. However. when the complainant
placed the several parts the railing scene Illus
rative of the Scrlptural incident OF the interview
between Joseph and the daughter Of Phdroah was
| presented TO view The complainant said that the
value of tho tapestry had been reduced one half by
being cut adding that the tapestry had been manu-
featured at Beauvais nearly 800 years ago. The
firm had been offered 800 for it, Hudson was held
| for trial. The complaint against Reilly was dis
missed.

The agents of the North German Lloyd, Ham
burg-American Packet, the Red star and the Rot
terdam steamship lines, which re-establshed the
Continental Conference on May 4, yesterday issued

feet to-day, giving a minimum schedule of steerage

80 and 40 per cent The North German Lloyd
rates to and from Bremen or Southampton are $22

below those of the North German. BY the Red star
Line the rate to or from Antwerp is $50. Inc rates
of the Rotterdam Line $17 either way.
The instructions state that agents must in all
cases adhere strictly TO the Conference rates; and
no return OF division OF commissions or improper
inducements are to be held out to purchasers of
tickets. No agent Is allowed TO send, or permit
Others TO send his tickets TO Y0rk or any other

ioin the Conference as they had not received def
mite instructions from their principals IL is pro-
vlded that should the rates of Storage passage be
changed at any time during the continuance of the
agreement, which is limited TO SIX months from
to-day, the relative differences shall he maintained

NORTH Fork, Delta CO., March ..
To the Editor Of TnI Cnirr.
Iour item regarding the new county Of
Fork, as introduced by our Representative,
Mr.. Bucklin, may be a very good Thing. but
for my part cant sec where il c"uies IN.
Delta county now has the cream Of this
section, All ,ha, that part ar Gunnison comfy
we,t OF the divide is tit for is q summer range
for our Delta county cattle; 80 what's the
use in our county trying to get piece oi
TERRITORY that Is useless To any county
understand that our mother county Gun
uisonl Is going to h:ht the bill. rs they have
suddenly discovered coal In that region. She
wouId never have known il had IL not been
f.r Your i,em Of Feb. 18Th. The Herie'o-
PSe., has taken hold of II, and she does not
know any more about the country than n
hog does ab"ut latin.
Gunnnon coun,y ought te have the whole
Reservation, aud then she wouldn't be salts
fiedi. The territory Gunnis"n county has
within her borders has made her 50 poor that
her warrant. u re only worth finy cents on
the dollar, with no sale at that figure, and
by another year they will he down Ia twenty
fv. cents.
In all this territory there Is probably 20
voters. and for Guunison county TO esrnbl'sh
n voting precinct there would nccessitat. the
carrying Of the ballot boxes Ijo mites, and
the expense OF holding an election would he
twenty times as much the territory is
worth To Gunnison county, which would
have a tendency to increase the value Of her
ediaabie warrants.
As for the coal fields, It's true there is
so,ne coal there, but what is Guunison coun.
" going TO do with IL? There is more coal
land opened up in Colorado than can be Of
any use. There is not hill In the keser.
walton but what Is full Of coal. There is not
u man living In Delta county today that
will see these coal fields developed. The
only possible market for coal now is Delta,
aud one car lcsli will supply her for six
m, nths.
The part set Of from Montrose county is
no more tributary TO Montrosc than Is ror-
tions of Lake county. The Inhabitants Of
this section Of country have "a travel through
great portion Of Delta county to get to
their county seat. There has never been n
dollars worth of property in this section that
las paid tribute to Montrose county, but
they pay their taxes in Delta equity.

From the Review !

The committee arI
of Commerce at its M
night, to draw up re-
against the passas. Of the
from Gunnison county valu.
and agricultural lands, and
counties of Fork and Antonita,
piled with their duties and sent Il
the following circular To Senator ;.
and Representative Bucklin:
GUSSIsoS, Colo, March Z, 1Ss
DEAR SIE-l1ills have been introdu
into the House Of Representatives Of til
! State for the Puapose Of creating two ne.
counties, To be called Fork" and Antonita
These new counties, if the bills pass, will b,
made up in part of territory now belonging
to this county.
We are Informed that these bills have been
considered and favorably reported upon by
the House Committee On Counties and Coun-
ty Lines. and unless immediate steps are
taken by our people to defeat them they
will pass.
These bills contemplate taking from us
what is known as Barnum precinct and in
cooperating the same in this county of Anto-
nita. and adding to this county of Fork that
portion Of this county Immediately tributary
to the town of Irwin, on Anthracite creek ,
in the vicinity Of the canon and Mount Mar
cellina aud the Ragged Mountains. There
, are many REASONS why'this proposed leyisla-
ton should be defeated. The Barnum coun.
. try is especially rich in iron ore and Il our
most produetiv. agricultural section.
Tn. country in the vicinity Of Anthracite
canon aud the Ragged and Msrcellina noun
tains contain the larges, deposits of anthra-
cite aud coking Goals in this State. Both Of
,le,. sections will in few years contribute
extensively to the wealth of Gunni,on conn
ty. II is believed the people Of this county
regasdless of locality, should express their
dsapproba,ion Of the proposed Legislation
and by resolution scquain, their Senator and
Representative with their views.
Al meeting OF the Board Of Trade held
In Guunison last night the under signed were
appointed a committee to aequaint the peo-
pie Of the situation, aud you are requested
to take immediate action TO prevent by pro-
test in public meeting any reduction of our
territory and communicate the same by res.
olution or other appropriate means TO our
Senator and Representative IN Denver.
Respectfully,
THOMAS {. BRowS,
