The First Step Tewards a Union.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 31.-The first prelimina-
 " step toward consolidation in this city of
 the offices of the Postal and United Lines
 telegraph companies was taken this evening
 when the executive officers of the Postal
 company in New York telegraphed instruc-
 tions to the local manager here to notify oper-
 ators and all others that their services would
 not be required after tonight and to close
 up all hebranch offices, keeping the main
 office only and that just for the present to be used as 8 test office. While nothing was said in the order relative to prospective anal gamation with the United Lines company and notwithstanding the fact that the latter companys officers in this city have received no notice of such 8 union, it is the opinion of nearly all that ibis but the initiative of consolidation. Man ager Suriggs accordingly dismissed the Postal employes and then hastened to the receivers, Messrs. s. Snowden and Jndge Dobbin, who were appointed by Judge Phelps last June to take charge of the company's property in Maryland and in whose hand it stil remains It is learned tonight that MT. Sptiggs was given to understand by them that he was subject to their orders and forbade him to heed the order telegraphed from New York.

FREE FIGHT IN A SYNAGOGUE.

Two Factions Hammer Each Other
 At The Annual Meeting.
 MONTREAL, Aug. 31.-A most disgraceful scene took place in the Spanish and Portu- guese synagogue yesterday at the annual meeting of the congregation for the election of officers and the reception of the annual report. It appears that there are two fac tions, the orthodox and the more advanced thinkers; and when some remarks in the
 port derogatory to the belief of the latter were made one of them attacked the chair man, hammering him unrnercifully with a stick. A free fight ensued. The belligerent Hebrew was ejected from the synagogue and at subsequent meeting was expelled from the congregation. The fracas has caused great excitement in Hebrew circles and will be the subject of much litigation.
 Judgment Against The Bankers.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A long decision has been rendered by Judge Van Worst in the Supreme court special term upon the demur- Ter interposed by the firm of Winslow, Lan- fer & Co.,, bankers, to the complaint of AL fred Cohen, the San Francisco lawyer who brought suit against them to set aside a sale by them to him of $200, 900 of the first mort gage bonds of the New York, West Shore & Buffalo railroad company, for which he paid $15O, ,OO0, and to compel the repayment to him of that sum with interest from August, 1883, when the transaction took place. MT. Cohen was a depositor of Winslow, Lanier & Go. and he was induced to make the pur- chase of the bonds by fraudulent representa- tions as to the condition of the company. At the time he joined in the agreement he was i'll and unable to inquire into the merits of the enterprise and depended upon the bankers entirely who had information re- specting the solvency of the company, which they concealed from him, ,and that they had special interest in the sale of the bonds As the bonds did not turn out to be as repre- sented MT. Cohen brought suit to have the agreement set aside and his money refunded. Winslow, Lanier 6 Co. put in a demurrer upon the ground that the complaint did not show facts sufficient to constitute cause of action. The Supreme court special term gives judgment for the plaintiff. The court says: "When court of equity has juris- diction of 8 cause it is not wanting in power to order the payment of money to which complaining party is entitled upon the recss- sion of a contract AS the pla1ntifr's money cannot be followed into the hands of the insolvent construction com. pany, nor any recovery be had of it, the de- fendants having funds, fruits of their negoti- ot;o,,o obou1d m O Ia rasfitufion to him n

MONTREAL, Aug. 31-Twenty-five cases of smallpox were reported yesterday, twelve of which were authenticated. Seventeen deaths occurred Saturday and Sunday. Referee Tate's Opinion of The Fight. TOLEDO, Aug. 31.-William Tate the ref cree in Saturdays fight at Chester Park, says that Sullivan had the best of the fight from the beginning; that Sullivan had the oppor- tunity to knock out McCaffrey, but for some reason he did not take advantage of it. He does not know whether Sullivan agreed to knock McCaffrey out in six rounds or not; if that was the agreement he did not do it. His decision is in favor of Sullivan H9 thinks that Sullivan can do the clever little man every time. The decision was on the merits of the fighting.
 The Money Paid Over To Sullivan.
 CINCINNATI, Aug. 31.-Acting upon the decision of the referee that Sullivan had the best of the fight, George Campbell this after noon paid over to the champion his share of the gate receipts. The packers of McCaffrey are very much worked up about it and claim that no decision has been officially rendered and they propose to carry the matter into the courts. An effort is being made to have the Sullivan-Ryan fight come off here instead of at Baltimore

A law against liquor.selling would

against murder, rape and theft ; but
the comparison is an unfortunate one
for the Times. Just because we have

argument to show that such leglsla-

violate them? We are hardly ready

The Galveston News has come to
realize the Important fact that it Is
not any longer able to force q corner
in the distribution of official patron
age and public lavors in Texas. Its.
power to fleece politicians, officers and
others who have axes to grind, is
rapidly on the decline; and 1t rs our
opinion, based upon the conduct Of

fishing q branch paper at Dallas the

and corporations who pay for its intlu-
ence. Por years we have been of the

stood by Dallas in time of need
