MIR. Meill,s 8. Commers.,,

Mr.. Milton NJ WE'LL, on last Tuesday
night entertained party of his student
friends to real German +" Commers," at
his rooms in Taylor's Hotel. A number of
genial young men who had spent part of
their time at the German Universities on
the Rhine, had the sacred memories of the
good old days brought back like wind
from the past by singing the college songs
over again. Beer and rare Burgundy were
the beverages of the evening, and although
quality was the paramount consideration,
quantity cut no figure whatever. The
1Salamander was rubbed with foaming
bumpers. The stars had gone to bed and
the disturbed guests had finished COM
planning to the hotel clerk, before the
jewellers sought to relieve heavy head on
drowsy pillow. Bachelors " Commers :"

that is required to make the time pass
pleasantly is host with plenty of food for

interchange of the history of the bygones
and happy thoughts. At sCommers Z"
/, the conversation is conducted in either
French or German.

Six Lives Lost in Galveston Harbol During
Storm.
GALVESTON, Sept. 19.-The tugl Ranger,
having in tow the barge Orient, laden with
coal. from New Orleans. arrived outside
the bar yesterday morning, and parted her
tow-line. The barge cast anchor, while the
Ranger came in for a new cable. A heavy
sea was on, and the barge was soon driven
aground about five miles from the east end
of the island. When the Ranger returned
with a a new tow-line, she was unable to
reach the barge or rescue her crew of five
men. A life-boat was manned by five ex-
perienced seamen and started for the
Orient. When they reached the barge the
sea was fast wrecking her. The five heroic
seamen who manned the Iife-boat hoated
ashore throughout the evening on their
life-preservers, the last one getting in
about eight o'clock. The man who jumped
from the Orient is undoubtedly lost
Quantities Of drift floating ashore indicate
that the Orient has gone to pieces. The
Ranger has returned 1t was impossible
for any boat to reach the scene of the
wreck in the heavy sea, and there is
scarcely the shadow of a doubt but that
the five men on the Orient have been
drowned. They were all residents of New
Orleans, and their names are unknown
here. Captain Griswold, of the Orient, is
among the lost.

A BIoodless Revolution.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The populace of Phil
ippopolis, the capital of Eastern Roumelia,
almost to man rose in open rebellion yes
terday, seized the Governor General, de-
posed the Government, and proclaimed a
union with Bulgaria. Aprovisional govern
ment was established. The revolt was SO
well planned that no disorder or bloodshed
occurred, everybody being in sympathy
with the movement except the Government
officials. The foreigners in the city are per-
fectly free from harm, as is also the prop
erty of foreign residents. Immediately
after the organization of the provisional
government, the militia was sworn in,
taking the oath of allegiance to Prince
Alexander, of Bulgaria. 1t is generally be
lieved in diplomatic circles that Russia ar
ranged the programme Of the rising, and
suggested the union with Bulgaria. No de-
finite statement can at present be made as
to what action the signatory powers to the
treaty of Berlin viii take respecting the
matter.

No Fall Regatta.

The annual Fall regatta of the Hudson
Boat Club will not be rowed this year.
Next Saturday, however, there will be sin
gle scull races for the senior and junior
championship medals. These medals are
rowed for every year, the bar beng changed
for one bearing the last winners name and
his time. The senior medal is now, and
has been for several years, held by Mr. c.
T. Ockerhausen, and it is said that he could
doubtless hold it again, but he has decided
not to contest for it this time. Mr.. D.
Crandall holds the junior medal, and thus
far he is the only entry for next Saturday s
contest for the senior championship. No
one has yet been entered to row for the
junior championship but Governor Abbett's
son. Leon. There will doubtless be sew
eral competitors for the medal.

At Kratz's Hall, Central avenue, Bleeck-
er street, last Monday night the annual
election Of officers of 'Our Union took
place. Two tickets were put in the field
and there was the usual amount of cleo
pioneering done. The hackers of the tick
cts were not afraid to stake a little money
on the result Every one felt after it was
over that a good ticket had been elected,
and all the members rendered their hearty
congratulations to the new officers. After
the installation of the officers speeches
were made by the officers and harmony
at once prevailed. The members wound
up the evening by singing and reciting,
continuing until the wee sma' hours.
Liquid refreshments were of course served
by the Yictors, and all drank success to the
association and its officers. Following is a
list of the new officers: W. v. C'Conneil,
President; w. j. Walsh, Vice President;
Henry Pinckneys Treasurer; Stephen A.
Meehan, Secretary; Edward j. Nugent,

The Murdered Chinan,en.

Rock SPRINes, Wyo., Sept. 19.-In an
interview last night, General Bee, the Chi
nese Consul, stated that the present inves-
tigation will continue for week or ten
days. 1t is certain that the Chinese GOV
eminent will demand indemnity from the
United States, but he cannot yet even
guess at the amount So far all testimony
had shown that the Chinese had returned
here Of their own free will, after receiving
official assurance from the President that
they would be protected if it took the whole
army. The Union Pacific is apparently
firm in its determination to put the China
men back in the mines here. It is building
some sixty cabins for them, and when these
are completed the Celestials will begin
work.

The Summer season at the seaside was
brought to sudden close by the "cold
snap" People hurried shiveripg home
wards, and the great majority of Summer
hostelries are either closed or doing a
losing business. And yet this is the very
time when the country is at it's best, and
those who linger in their Summer haunts
thrsugh September and even into October
will be well requited for their stay. But
then very few people go to the country
because they expect to find it cooler there
or that they love to exchange brick walls
and narrow streets for rural homes and
country lanes or because they love nature.
They go for the reason that it is the fash
ion. They stay the prescribed time and
then they return home. Their duty has
been performed and they are happy. They
go, too, where it is the fashion to go. To
such people Barren Island is the same as
Paradise-or, rather, they would prefer
the island, if it bore the seal of fashion, to
Paradise unstamped with that precious in
sigma so dear to their butterfly souls.

The Ten-Hour Law in Michigan.

DErRoIT, Mich, Sept. 19.-Among the
acts of the Legislature that went into effect
yesterday was the ten-hour law for labor
ing men. This labor law, it was feared,
would cause trouble, but the day passed
without any being reported. In the Sagi-
nav Valley there are seven mills running
at eleven hours, the men having signed an
agreement to that effect In one mill the
men struck because work at ten hours was
with reduce9 pay. An early settlement is
expected.

There seems to be general feeling in
trade circles that business is likely to boom
this Fall. 1t is almost time. The country
ought to be pretty well settled down now
to the fact that President Cleveland is
neither communist nor barn burner
and is not likely to do anything that will
have tendency to disturb the finances or
commerce of the country. 1t is about
time for "a restoration of confidence, and
we shall probably have a manifestation
that the people think SO before many
months have passed.

The SUNDAY TATTLER is always prime
local newspaper. Last Sunday, though
the fates developed nothing fresh and
startling for us to present TO our readers
the paper was one of the best local news
papers ever issued from this office--and
that is saying about as much as can be
said for any paper. 1t covered everything,
and every one of its readers found some
thing in one of its special departments of
special interest to him or her, and its
general reading matter pleased everybody.
1t presented three excellent portraits. and
treated two hundred and fifty separate
topics as fully as their importance or in
terest justified. The paper of to-day is
not whit behind its predecessor.

AS the SUNDAY TArrIEa is THE local

As the SUNDAY IATTLEk Is THE local
newspaper of the county, so it is THE local
advertising medium of our tradesmen. An
examination of our advertising columns
will show that they are engaged by our
local tradesmen exclusively to bring their
goods and their wares to the notice of the
community that should patronize them.
No New York tradesmen figure there in
competition with our local tradesmen.
The TATTLER believes in patronizing and
encouraging home industries; and in the
belief that Jersey City paper should lend
itself mainly to the building up of the
business of Jersey City tradesmen, we
have confined our attention, in the solicit
ing of business, to them alone. II they
stand by us as we stand by them. the TAT
TIER will continue to reserve its spaces
for their use and only for theirs. If,
however, there is not enterprise enough
among them to sustain the TATTLER in
its effort in that direction, we shall do as
all other newspapers do-endeavor to in
duce outside tradesmen to bid through
our columns for the favor of our readers
So far the TATTLER has had no occasion
to find fault Let the good work continue
