NEW YORK NOTES.

Why Cinnamon Attend Sunday-SchooI-A
New Temple Dedicated to Joss.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
New YORK, Dec 12.-The Characterization of
the Chinese in this city has had discourage
ment. Six separate Sunday schools for China
men have been established here, ranging from
he fashionable mission of Grace Church to the
GLASS gathered by Miraculous Simpson, faith
curer, who operates on his own account in the
edifce which the late Salmi Morse fitted up for
production of the Passion Play" Altogether,
about two hundred Cinnamon have been re-
cruited by these evangelists, and it was sup
posed, from the readiness of the Orientals to
assert their firm belief in orthodoxy, that the
work was highly successful. But this week is
devoted by the Chinese quarter to glorifca-
ton of Joss in a new temple provided for him.
The prosperity of the Chinese in New York is
ascribed by them wholly to the benignty of
their heather god, and they are worshiping him
with intense fervor. Investigation shows that
few il any, of the avowed converts to Chris
tianity have kept aloof from the ceremonies
The truth seems to be, as learned from some of
the Chinese merchants, and especially from the
Chinese consul. that the attendants in Sunday
echoois are there purely for the sake of getting
education in the English language. The Consul
declares positively that there is not single sim
cere Christian among them. and that they do
not dream of turning from joss as their great
divinity. A few may mix little of Christian
doctrine with their native religion but they in
vaflaoly give supremacy to Joss

IN, who was recently sent to Joliet prison for
five years for perjury, in connection with the

who is a young lady of refinement and high
breeding. and lived in moderate luxury at the
Palmer House prior to her husbands downfall

sealskin sacque to get money to obtain food, her
mother haYing driven her from homo by twit-
ting her about the disgrace.
Hearing the story, Pat Sheedy. the noted
gambler, not only got the sacque out of paw n
but offered Mrs. Mackin a homo with his own
wife and children. She accepted gratefully.
and there Pat says she shall stay, il she wants
to- till her husbands term is up. Meanwhile,
he proposed to measure gloves with any one, in
her family out of it. who twits her with her
husbands downfall.

His Struggle with Gould for the Business of
New York City.

His Struggle with Gould for the Business of
New York City.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, Dec. 12-The last and unfinished
fight by William Fl. Vanderbilt was with Jay
Gould, and IL was about local railroad matter
There were millions in it, however, though the war
seemed insignificant as compared with the great
trunk-line campaigns. The enormously rapid
growth Of New York city to the northward since
the establishment of elevated railroad transit,
has opened up for the present and prospect
lively, a tremendous business in carrying people
between the suburbs and the center of the town.
There are three lines of the elevated structures
leading through the city. At first all stopped at
at the Harlem river. which is the north bounda
ry Of the old city. Jay Gould controls them.
The first connection with the annexed districts
was by bridge and fifteen miles of surface rails
prolongine the West-side elevated That has
been in operation several years The most pop
ulous area is to the east, however, and it is as
to this section that Vanderbilt and Gould
went into competition. Vanderbilt ordered the
erection of fine station the Hudson River
line at l38th street, and at his death it was we'll
along It's site is such that, when all trains
make stops, the accommodation for great pop
ulation will be first rate. Vanderbilt took per
sonal interest in the project, because. until ILL
health compelled him to cease his diversion. he
drove mis- trotters great deal in that neighbor-
hood Gould month ago bought the unused
franchise of railroad extending from the Har-
hm right into the same region six miles, and by
,uch a route that connection can be made by
bridge with the Second avenue elevated. Gould
has been in deep earnest, and daily visitor to
the work, which has been pushed with the ut
most rapidity. He believed that Vanderbilt
meant to sink the tracks of the freight and
horse-car line now running from the Grand Cen
trail Depot clear down to the City Hall. which
would enable him to use steam on a route more
central than any in the elevated system. Both
magnates had turned their calculations largely
from other enterprises to this struggle for New

A THIEVISH CARTMAN.
How Teamster and His Pals Defrauded a
Chicago Butterine Manufacturing Firm.

CHICAGO, Dec. l2-One of the most novel,
been unearthed in Chicago for some time was
broken I'D yesterday by the arrest of John Flat
tiers, Thomas Parkes, John Curtin and Harry
Evans. These four personages are principals in
the scheme by which butterne manufactur
ing firm has been swindled out of about ST, 500
in the last two months. Flatters was a team
ster in the employ of the firm, and his business
was to go to the stockyards every morning and
bring thence to his employers, in large wagon,
lard and other truck to the amount of about
5000 pounds each load. The material was
weighed when he received it, and on MIS- return
it was again weighed by public wegher within
a couple of blocks of the butterne establish
ment, this method being adopted by the concern
to save time and annoyance. Flatters be-
thought himself of a money making scheme
in connection with his work, and was
assisted by Parker, who is butcher. On his
way from the stockyards Flatters would drive to
Parkers place and deliver from $50 to 300
pounds of lard; then, at some point on the
journey to the city scales, would take on Curtin
and Evans, whose combined weight exactly made
up for the deficit, and, conceang them under
the large tarpaulia that covered the load, would
drive on the scales, receive certified check.
which correspondent with the first weighing, and
deliver at his employers Office. Curtin and
Evans would be let off stealthily after leaving
the scales. A member of the firm, becoming
suspicious of the weights, put the case into the
hands of detectives, who, after shadowing the
the parties long enough to obtain sufficient evil
dence, arrested all. On being confronted with
the evidence of guilt, the four worthless out
rivaled each other in squealing. Parker paid
Flatters $40 per day for his share, and the two
tramps received from Flatters enough to keep
